CIF Football: Paloma Valley Advance Review vs Temescal Canyon – “Coyote vs. TEASERS
Acme”
The dialogue-free Road Runner/Wile E. Coyote cartoons are my favorite of the Looney Tunes. No jokes centered around annoying accents or speech impediments, just pure physical comedy. Of course, the hapless carnivore never actually catches the flightless bird, thanks largely to his reliance on questionable devices from the unseen Acme Corporation. New live-action/animation hybrid “Coyote vs. Acme” sees the coyote finally have enough of the technology giant’s faulty products. He enlists unambitious Albuquerque attorney Kevin Avery (Will Forte) to sue the corporate behemoth for decades of defectiveness.....

The saying “what’s old becomes new again” applies perfectly to the renovation of the building at 607 Donna Way in San Jacinto. Originally built as a clinic, the property was purchased by Riverside-San Bernardino County Indian Health Inc. about 30 years ago to house its Soboba clinic. After RSBCIHI expanded and moved its operations into the new building on the Soboba Reservation in March of 2023, Soboba decided to purchase it for the expansion of its Tribal Administration departments. The interior and exterior were traditionally blessed by Tribal member Wayne Nelson on July 30 to offer a new beginning. This was followed by an open house to share the finished project with the public. “During COVID, we were fortunate to get some ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) dollars from the federal government and one of the things we could spend that money on was facility related,” Chairman Isaiah Vivanco said. ARPA made federal funds available to help state, local and Tribal governments recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and enabled the Soboba Band to purchase the then-vacant property. “We realized that simply remodeling it wouldn’t be sufficient, so we used the grant money to do a total makeover; just gutting it and taking everything out and starting over,” Vivanco said. “We think you will appreciate how the funds were used.” The space now houses the Soboba TANF program in the front half of the 14,000-sq.ft. building. The Soboba Tribal Environmental Department has moved into a large area in the back and Soboba Housing and Elders also have dedicated spaces for their programs. At the end of the building, with a separate entrance for confidentiality purposes, Soboba Tribal Family Services is also at the Donna Way location. The expanded space and location have allowed them to add an outdoor seating area and play area. Tribal Executive Officer Steven Estrada said after the property was purchased in September 2023, they walked through the facility and noted everything that needed to be done inside and out. The redesign started in December of that year. By spring of 2024, an RFP went out for contractors to gut and demolish and construct the new space, which began in July of that year. He said it took over a year for all plan checks and reviewing, permitting, conditions of approval and other requirements to be met. To determine which departments would move from the Tribal Administration building on the reservation to the new location, he said it was decided that those which were social services/community utilization based would be the most logical choice. “TANF has a large department, and the new space was well suited for them,” Estrada said. “Family Services is a good complementary service to TANF. Elders needed a dedicated space. Environmental has grown and needs its own space as well.” Open house guests gathered inside the large multipurpose room which could comfortably accommodate 100 people.

Senior citizens in the spotlight at recent community forum
Diane A. Rhodes
The Senior Stability Alliance branch of the Healthy Valley Foundation hosted a virtual forum on Aug. 18 to discuss available housing resources in the San Jacinto Valley. The purpose of the nonprofit’s initiative is to expand, protect, and preserve housing for local seniors. With 28% of Hemet residents age 65+ and 34% age 55-64, it is a real concern for the valley that should not be overlooked. By 2030, more than 25% of Californians will be aged 60 or older. A panel of invested community leaders were on hand to highlight existing housing resources organized into three strategies: preserving includes home repairs, accessibility improvements, and aging in place opportunities; protecting involves tenant and homeowner education, tenant rights resources, legal support, and strategies to prevent displacement; and expanding covers affordable housing, attainable options, shared housing innovations, and co-living models. “Thank you to the 24 partners, residents, housing advocates, nonprofit leaders, and city and county representatives who joined our quarterly Senior Stability Alliance conversation focused on housing for older adults in the San Jacinto Valley,” Health Valley Foundation President and CEO Jennifer O’Farrell said. “We are especially grateful to our elected leaders and representatives for continuing to champion older adults, including Congressman Raul Ruiz, Senator Sabrina Cervantes, Assembly Member Dr. Corey Jackson, City of Hemet Mayor Linda Krupa, and City of Hemet Council Member Jackie Peterson.” Panelists providing a fast-paced overview to the housing services and strategies already available in the valley were Habitat for Humanity, Inland Valley CEO Tammy Marine (https://habitativ. org); Inland County Legal Services Managing Attorney Rich Merritt (https://www.inlandlegal. org); City Net Community Engagement and Partnerships representative Robin Gilliland (www. citynet.org/riverside-county); Neighborhood Housing Service of the Inland Empire CEO and Executive Director Kailin Scott Peoples (https://nhsie.org); and City of Hemet Community Solutions Coordinator Kristian Ticas (www.hemetca.gov/m/directory/ department?did=208). “While each organization could have filled an entire meeting, what they shared provided us with a better understanding of how we can connect seniors to existing resources—and where gaps remain,” O’Farrell said. She said Riverside County’s
Senior Stability Alliance’s Senior Summit in April attracts San Jacinto Valley residents interested in learning about relatable resources. Valley News/ Courtesy photo 2025 Point-in-Time data shared with the Alliance reflects a significant increase in older adults experiencing homelessness. Family disruption, lack of income, and unemployment were identified as leading pathways into homelessness. “The discussion also reinforced why we need solutions beyond traditional housing development,” O’Farrell said. “Shared housing and co-living, for example, are increasingly being explored as options that can help older adults remain in their communities, reduce housing costs, and increase social connection. Research also points to potential benefits including aging in place, reduced housing costs, increased engagement, and reduced social isolation.” The Senior Stability Alliance is a grassroots collective impact initiative launched by the Healthy Valley Foundation to address the growing crisis of economic insecurity and unstable housing among older adults in the San Jacinto Valley. In 2024, a cross-sector “Senior Think Tank” brought together housing providers, public agencies, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, behavioral health professionals, and policymakers that were aligned around a shared mission: ensuring older adults can age in place with dignity, stability, and access to care. A report released in July 2025
Senior Summits offer information to help senior citizens in the San Jacinto Valley. Valley News/Courtesy photo outlined the Alliance’s findings, themes, and policy recommendations, grounded in community voice, data, and the seven Vital Conditions for Well-being. It found that housing was a major concern for seniors. “Our early work identified a troubling local picture: more than 28% of Hemet residents are over age 65; housing costs are increas-

ingly out of reach for fixed-income seniors; transportation and service access remain barriers; and older adults are increasingly showing up in homelessness data. The Think Tank concluded that upstream, coordinated solutions were needed—not simply crisis response,” O’Farrell said. She said the recent conversation comes at an important moment because Healthy Valley Foundation is also preparing to publish its Spring 2026 San Jacinto Valley Senior Well-Being Report, based on a survey of 103 adults age 55+ in Hemet and San Jacinto. “The report provides new localized insight into housing, income, transportation, belonging, civic engagement, and overall well-being,” O’Farrell said. The spring report will be available at the end of August and can be found at https://healthyvalleyfoundation.org/impact. She shared that several findings reinforce the urgency of the Alliance’s housing strategy: 40% of respondents reported household incomes below $25,000; nearly three in four said housing costs are a burden; and 77% said they would not know—or were unsure where to go—for help if they were at risk of losing housing. Renters also reported lower than average well-being than homeowners. “The report also points to a broader story: Valley seniors remain hopeful and engaged, but the systems around them are not always affordable, accessible, or easy to navigate. Nearly 6 in 10 expect to be thriving one year from now, while the report simultaneously identifies gaps in housing security, transportation, and civic influence,” O’Farrell
said. “The story we see emerging is not simply about senior housing. It is about whether our Valley is building the infrastructure (and in a strategically united method) needed for a rapidly aging population to remain housed, connected, supported, and thriving.” The Foundation regularly hosts Senior Stability Alliance “Senior Summits” as a cross-sector collaborative committed to building a sustainable, equitable safety net for older adults across the San Jacinto Valley. “Our aim is to reduce isolation, improve housing stability, build civic muscle, and promote well-being for residents aged 55 and older,” O’Farrell said. “These events are more than a resource fair—it is a deliberate space to foster connection, inspire agency, and offer real-time support services to help older adults age with dignity and purpose.” She said the next step is to map the Senior Stability Alliance partners and resources across Preserve, Protect, and Expand to better understand what already exists, make those resources easier for older adults to access, and identify the gaps that require collective action. “The goal isn’t simply more housing programs,” O’Farrell said. “It is a coordinated housing ecosystem that helps older adults remain safely housed, prevents a crisis before displacement occurs, and expands affordable choices when their current housing no longer works. Together, we are building a valley where aging is supported—not survived.” The Alliance’s next meeting is set for Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. For more information, 951-593-9597 or healthyvalleyfoundation@ gmail.com.

St. Martha hosts Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree exemplification Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News
The first-ever Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree exemplification in Riverside County took place August 22 at St. Martha Catholic Church in Murrieta. “It went really well,” said Padre Pio Assembly faithful navigator Rice Berkshire. The Knights of Columbus was
founded by Connecticut priest Michael McGivney in 1882 and now has more than 17,000 parish-level councils worldwide. The first three Knights of Columbus degrees focus respectively on charity, unity, and fraternity. In 1900 the Knights of Columbus added the Fourth Degree which emphasizes patriotism. Fourth Degree members of
the Knights of Columbus meet at the assembly level. Padre Pio Assembly #2247 encompasses five councils in Temecula, Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Wildomar, and Winchester. Berkshire is a parishioner at St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church in Winchester. A total of 89 Knights of Columbus members received Fourth Degree status at the
Wildomar adopts shopping cart ordinance Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News
The City of Wildomar has adopted an ordinance aimed at reducing abandoned shopping carts on public rights-of-way and other areas outside the shopping centers where they belong. The Wildomar City Council voted 5-0 Aug. 12 to approve the ordinance following its 5-0 introduction July 8. The council also found the regulations categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review. The ordinance establishes procedures for shopping cart retrieval, return, impoundment, cost recovery, nuisance abatement and notification. City officials said abandoned carts can obstruct sidewalks and rights-of-way, interfere with drainage facilities and create hazards for pedestrians and motorists. The city has received complaints about carts left in residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, parks, drainage
facilities and vacant properties. Abandoned carts also can contribute to illegal dumping, storage of personal property, encampments and neighborhood blight. Although California law regulates shopping carts, it allows local governments to establish retrieval and cost-recovery programs. Wildomar previously did not have an ordinance establishing notification procedures, retailer responsibilities, appeals and nuisance abatement. The ordinance emphasizes cooperation between the city and retailers rather than prescribing a single method of compliance. Retailers and cart owners are considered best positioned to discourage unauthorized removal and arrange for timely retrieval. Shopping cart owners must maintain current contact information with the city so they can be notified when an abandoned cart is found. Carts must also have permanently affixed identification and return information.
describing the procedure for authorized removal, and notifying the public that unauthorized removal or possession of a shopping cart is a violation of California law. Retailers must implement and maintain reasonable measures to reduce the unauthorized removal of shopping carts from the retailer’s premises. Those measures may include customer notification signage, employee training, collection and storage of shopping carts remaining on the premises at the close of business, physical barriers, cart containment technology, security personnel, or other reasonable measures appropriate for the retail operation. A retail establishment with at least ten shopping carts available for public use must obtain approval of a Shopping Cart Management Plan. That plan will document each retailer’s operational procedures for reducing unauthorized cart removal while allowing flexibility based upon business size, operational
August 22 exemplification. The new Fourth Degree members included 29 from Padre Pio Assembly #2247. “We’re hoping that we’ll do another one in the future,” Berkshire said. Five priests and two deacons were present at the exemplification ceremony. St. Martha pastor Father Carolos Martinez, who is also the vicar for the southern
Riverside County vicariate, was one of those priests. District master Rene Trevino, who is also a supreme director at the worldwide level, was also present. St. Martha has a 5:00 vigil Mass on Saturdays. The exemplification preceded the Mass and a dinner followed the Mass. “It was a great experience,” Berkshire said.
characteristics, and available technology. The Shopping Cart Management Plan may be updated as operational practices change, allowing businesses to improve shopping cart management. The city may retrieve and return a shopping cart located outside the premises (including a parking area) of a retail establishment. In order to recover retrieval and return costs the city must give at least 48 hours notice, although a shopping cart interfering with emergency services or otherwise creating an imminent hazard to public health or safety may be retrieved and returned immediately. A cart may be impounded immediately if its location impedes emergency services, and if the owner does not retrieve the cart within three business days after receiving notice the city may also impound the cart. The city must keep an impounded cart at a location reasonably convenient to the owner and open at least six hours on each business day. If
the city immediately impounds a cart the city must give actual notice within 24 hours after the impound and a cart reclaimed within three business days after the notice will be released at no charge and does not count as an occurrence. If the owner does not reclaim an impounded cart within 30 days after receiving a notice the city may sell or otherwise dispose of the cart. The city may recover its actual costs for impoundment services and may recover its actual costs for retrieval and return if at least 48 hours notice was given, the cart was not in an inaccessible location (including one where consent of the landowner is required), and the amount charged does not exceed $100 per cart. If more than three occurrences during a six-month period occur the owner may be fined up to $100 in addition to the retrieval and return or impoundment costs. A cart or business owner may appeal a fine or charge within 15 days of the assessment or fine notice.
Rancho Water approves purchase agreement with EMWD
Joe Naiman for the Valley News
In April both the Eastern Municipal Water District and the San Diego County Water Authority approved a water transfer agreement for the sale of SDCWA supply to Eastern. Eastern invited partner agencies to participate in portions of the long-term water supply from the CWA. The Rancho California Water District purchases wholesale water from the Western Municipal Water District, which obtains supply from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, but the opportunity for Rancho Water to obtain supply from Eastern at a lower rate caused the RCWD board to vote 6-0 August 13, with Bill Wilson absent, to authorize Rancho Water general manager Jason Martin to execute an Exchange Water Purchase Agreement with Eastern for the purchase and delivery of Exchange Water supplies. Eastern and the CWA are both members of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Both receive wholesale water from MWD while both also have sources of local supply. MWD obtains water from the Colorado River Aqueduct which transports water from Parker to Lake Mathews and from the State Water Project which brings water
from Oroville to Lake Skinner. MWD and the CWA began delivering water to San Diego County in 1947. MWD’s San Diego Aqueduct conveys water to a delivery point six miles south of the Riverside County line. That allowed MWD and the CWA to provide equal contributions to connect from MWD’s Colorado River Aqueduct to the San Vicente Reservoir in Lakeside. Prior to the 1991 drought approximately 95 percent of the CWA supply was purchased from MWD. The CWA has since worked to diversify its supply. Only 40 percent of the 2018 supply was from MWD. In 2003 the CWA approved the Quantification Settlement Agreement which brings conserved water from the Imperial Irrigation District to San Diego County and also involved lining the Coachella Canal and the All-American Canal. The agreement with IID is for 75 years and the agreement to obtain water from the lining of the canals is for 110 years. QSA supplies now account for approximately half of the CWA demands. Conserved water transfer provides 200,000 acre-feet annually for the San Diego region through water conservation measures in the Imperial Valley. The agreement also includes a “wheeling” fee to transport water through MWD’s aqueducts.
Construction on the Claude “Bud” Lewis Carlsbad Desalination Plant and a ten-mile pipeline began in 2013. The plant began delivery of desalinated water in December 2015. The CWA annually obtains between 48,000 and 56,000 acre-feet from the desalination facility. The population growth within the CWA area during the late 20th century has stabilized. The CWA and its member agencies have promoted conservation practices. Due to conservation and increased efficiency, the per capita demand has decreased by approximately 50 percent since the early 1990s. The water transfer agreement for the sale of CWA supply to Eastern was unanimously approved both by the EMWD board April 1 and the CWA board April 9. Eastern will purchase a minimum of 10,000 acre-feet of water annually from the CWA. The transfer agreement won’t involve physical transport between the two agencies but rather the MWD aqueduct system delivering water allocated for the CWA to EMWD turnouts. Eastern will receive at least 10,000 acre-feet of water over the next 21 years and will also pre-purchase approximately 30,000 acre-feet for future delivery. Eastern will purchase the water for $1,350 per acre-foot.
The agreement which will provide the CWA with additional revenue to help cover some of the CWA’s fixed costs will generate $13.5 million annually for the CWA, and including the up-front payments the CWA will obtain approximately $74 million of revenue over the next five years. The agreement formally ends on December 31, 2047, but it is automatically extended unless Eastern opts not to continue after that date. Those terms match the Quantification Settlement Agreement in which the initial term of the CWA-IID conserved water transfer agreement runs through 2047 while if both parties agree the QSA can be renewed through 2077. The agreement with Eastern was the second such agreement for the CWA. A water transfer agreement involving the Western Municipal Water District, the CWA, and MWD was signed March 19 in San Diego. Rancho Water sent Eastern a letter of interest about purchasing 1,000 acre-feet of Exchange Water annually. Eastern confirmed the availability of that requested supply and negotiated the Exchange Water Purchase Agreement. Rancho Water will purchase an annual contract quantity of Exchange Water from Eastern beginning in 2027. The quantity will be established annu-
ally based on available supplies and Rancho Water’s committed interest. Rancho Water will pay the annual contract price consisting of the costs and charges Eastern incurs under its agreement with the CWA along with an Eastern administrative fee. The pricing will be updated annually. Deliveries will be coordinated through MWD and Eastern facilities in accordance with established operational and scheduling requirements. Annual delivery plans will be developed to establish delivery volumes and schedules. The agreement includes procedures addressing regulatory curtailments, operational constraints, and supply interruptions. If supply reductions occur available water would be allocated proportionally among participating agencies. Rancho Water would not be required to pay for water which is not delivered. The agreement between Eastern and Rancho Water also has an initial term through December 31, 2047. Although future MWD rates cannot be determined the estimate is that the agreement will save Rancho Water approximately $7 million over the term of the agreement compared to purchasing an equivalent quantity of imported water through traditional MWD supply.
EVMWD awards design contract to relocate well flush-to-waste lines Joe Naiman for the Valley News
The Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District awarded Albert A. Webb Associates the design contract to relocate flush-to-waste lines of two EVMWD wells. A 5-0 EVMWD board vote August 13 approved a $514,854 contract with Albert A. Webb Associates, whose office is in Riverside, for engineering design and environmental services associated with relocating the Cereal Well No. 1 and Corydon Well flush-to-waste lines. The action authorized total expenditures of $589,287 which will also cover $71,859 for staff time and $2,574 for overhead. The district operates and maintains 17 groundwater wells which collectively produce about 8,400 acre-feet of supply per year. Cereal Well No. 1 and Corydon Well are among the 13 wells in the Elsinore Valley Subbasin while the other four wells are in the Bedford-Coldwater Subbasin. Cereal Well No. 1 near the intersection of Cereal Street and
Corydon Street is within the Lake Elsinore city limits and was constructed in 1987. The well has a production capacity of 1,150 gallons per minute (gpm) and a static water level of approximately 450 feet below ground surface. Corydon Well is within the City of Wildomar but is also near the intersection of Cereal Street and Corydon Street and was constructed in 1983. The property is owned by the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District and leased to Animal Friends of the Valley. The well’s production capacity is 1,000 gpm and its static water level is approximately 1,280 feet below ground surface. In the near future the district plans to replace the well on the same site with the capacity being increased to up to 3,000 gpm. The flush-to-waste lines for both wells currently discharge to private property adjacent to Cereal Well No. 1. Drinking water wells typically include a flush-to-waste line which is a dedicated pipeline allowing water from a groundwater well to safely be discharged rather
than sent directly into the drinking water system. Temporarily diverting the water ensures that only water meeting all drinking water standards is delivered to the distribution system. That capability is typically used when a well is first started, when a well is returned to service after maintenance, or when water quality has not yet stabilized. As part of the construction of Cereal Well No. 1, the well was equipped with a 20-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic flush-towaste line which discharged onto an adjacent property immediately northwest of the well. That property was undeveloped at the time, and the district did not obtain an easement for the flush-to-waste line. In 2010 construction for a motorsports park began on the neighboring property and grading operations inadvertently damaged the flush-to-waste line. Subsequent EVMWD efforts to obtain an easement were unsuccessful, but after the property was sold in 2012 the district and the new property owner reached an informal agreement to realign the flush-to-waste line
to discharge to the flood control channel to the north and flow water across the property. The property was sold again in 2020, and the new owner did not concur with the agreement and has requested that the district discharge elsewhere. The existing flush-to-waste line for Corydon Well is located within an easement granted across a different neighboring property, but Corydon Well is designed to discharge to the flood control channel and across Cereal Well No. 1’s neighboring property. The ownership changes require the district to discharge elsewhere. The relocation will re-route these pipelines to a new common discharge location near Cereal Well No. 3. Approximately 7,500 linear feet of new pipeline between Corydon Well and Cereal Well No. 1 will be constructed. EVMWD staff issued a request for proposals for engineering design and environmental services on March 9. Three proposals were received by the April 7 deadline. The California Government Code requires professional services
agreements to be awarded based on demonstrated competence and the professional qualifications necessary for the satisfactory performance of the services required rather on the lowest price. A review panel evaluated the proposals based on firm qualifications, experience, and project understanding. Albert A. Webb Associates was determined to have submitted the best proposal. The project schedule is dependent upon regulatory approvals rather than engineering design. In addition to California Environmental Quality Act compliance, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for Cereal Well No. 3 will need to be amended and encroachment permits will be required from both cities. A spring plant survey window beginning in April will be required, so those cannot be conducted until April 2027. The design and environmental phase is expected to be complete in September 2027 although the regulatory process can force a later completion.

MWD increases cost allowance for Lake Skinner outlet tower valve replacement Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California approved a change order to the contract to replace two valves at the Lake Skinner outlet tower. A unanimous MWD board vote on August 18 authorized an increase of $25,000 in change order authority to the existing procurement contract with B&K Valves and Equipment, Inc. The foundry, which manufactured the valves, is located in Italy, and an increased tariff created an unforeseen cost which warranted the change order exceeding the cumulative authorized change order amount. The Lake Skinner outlet tower was built in 1973 and is the primary means of drawing water from the lake for treatment at the Robert A. Skinner Water Treatment Plant or for conveyance to downstream users, which include the Fallbrook Public Utility District, the Rainbow Municipal Water District, and the Rancho California Water District. The
outlet tower has four levels of outlet ports which allow water to enter or exit the tower from different lake elevations. The circular free-standing outlet tower is a reinforced concrete structure 28 1/2 feet in diameter. It has five tiers of 42-inch diameter valves. The top four tiers contain six valves apiece and feed the Skinner plant and the San Diego pipelines. The lowest tier, called Tier Five, has two valves which are designed for dewatering the reservoir and are not intended for daily operation. In February 2017, heavy rainfall damaged the main and emergency spillways at Oroville Dam and forced the evacuation of more than 180,000 downstream residents. The incident led to measures by the state’s Division of Safety of Dams (DSOD) to prevent a similar situation in the future. DSOD now requires that agencies that own and operate dams assess the condition of spillways to confirm that they meet minimum safety standards, and in July 2017 DSOD issued an initial list of 93 dams that will
require comprehensive spillway assessments to evaluate hydraulic capacity, geotechnical stability, structural integrity, and potential erosion from dam release. Lake Skinner was directed to have the comprehensive assessments, and DSOD set a December 2018 deadline to submit the draft report. MWD submitted a work plan to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Lake Skinner spillway and appurtenant dam structures. In December 2017, the MWD board authorized a preliminary seismic analysis of the outlet tower and conduit in conjunction with the spillway assessment. The spillway investigation confirmed the adequacy of the spillway and resulted in minor repairs of the concrete spillway. Those repairs were completed in 2018 and meet DSOD requirements. The preliminary outlet tower seismic investigation also discovered hairline cracks on the valve actuator for the valves at the bottom of the tower. Those two valves ensure that Lake Skinner can be fully dewatered
in the event of a potential dam safety issue. The actuators for the valves were repaired to ensure that the valves are operable, but replacement of the valves and actuators was recommended to ensure long-term reliable and repeatable operation. In August 2022, MWD staff advertised a request for bids for the two butterfly valves. The scope of the procurement contract includes furnishing two 42-inch diameter butterfly valves and actuators. B&K Valves and Equipment, which is in Carlsbad, had the low responsible bid of $1,174,475. The April 2023 MWD board meeting awarded the contract to B&K Valves and Equipment. At the time the contract was awarded a 5 percent import tariff was included in the contract amount. In April 2025, the Federal government imposed additional tariffs on goods delivered from Italy. The import tariffs were increased to 15.6 percent. Although the contract was awarded before the increase in import tariffs, all
deliveries under the contract are now subject to the new import tariff amounts. When the contract was awarded, the board allowed change orders of up to a cumulative $250,000 to be approved administratively. A change order to increase the actuator size to accommodate the operating conditions of the existing appurtenant equipment added $178,840 to the contract, which left $71,160 of change order authority. The estimated increase in tariff costs is currently $84,174, so increasing the change order authority by $25,000 for a new maximum of $275,000 will allow MWD to pay for the replacement valves, reimburse the valve vendor for tariffs, and include a small contingency amount. The valves are currently 95 percent complete and are scheduled for delivery by fall 2026. MWD employees will install the valves in winter 2027 during a planned shutdown.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California awarded a design-build contract to upgrade the pressure control structure and electrical system at Lake Mathews. The MWD board voted unanimously Aug. 18 to award the contract to PCL Construction West Coast Inc. The initial contract is for $29.2 million, although it will be amended for construction after a guaranteed maximum price is established. The board also increased a contract with Carollo Engineers Inc. for advisory services. Lake Mathews was constructed in the 1930s as the western end of the Colorado River Aqueduct, which conveys water from Parker Dam. Untreated water stored in the lake is released through 10 fixed-cone valves into a small forebay discharge facility before traveling through MWD’s Upper Feeder to the Weymouth Treatment Plant in La Verne and through the Lower Feeder to the Diemer Treatment Plant in Yorba Linda. The main dam was raised and two dikes were constructed in 1961, increasing the lake’s capacity to 182,000 acre-feet. The forebay, a reinforced-concrete reservoir with a capacity of 31 acre-feet, includes a 60-foot-tall outlet tower with steel slide gates. Many structures and equipment date to the facility’s original construction. The forebay discharge and outlet structures require significant rehabilitation, and the fixed-cone valves need replacement. The existing infrastructure also creates a single point of failure for deliveries of Colorado River Aqueduct water to both feeders. All aqueduct water serving the Central Pool portion of MWD’s distribution system passes through the 88-year-old outlet facilities. Five 54-inch butterfly valves in the headworks structure and four large slide gates on the forebay outlet tower also must be refurbished or replaced. Maintaining the equipment is difficult because the discharge facility and forebay must be shut down and dewatered to work on the outlet gates. Scheduling shutdowns has become increasingly challenging because of MWD’s heavy reliance on the facilities. MWD staff recommended building a bypass and pressure control structure to replace the existing system and eliminate the single-point-of-failure risk. The Lake Mathews electrical distribution system has been modified repeatedly since it began operating. Southern Cali-
fornia Edison supplies 480-volt, three-phase power, which is increased to 2,400 volts for distribution to buildings, maintenance shops, outlet structures, pumps, the hydroelectric plant and other facilities. The system is undersized for current needs, lacks sufficient redundancy and cannot support additional equipment. Many components have also reached the end of their useful lives. The electrical system will be upgraded to a 4.16-kilovolt distribution network matching other upgraded MWD systems. Because much of the electrical work is near the planned pressure control structure and must be completed first, the electrical upgrades, bypass and pressure control structure were combined into one design-build contract. The bypass will be built while the existing forebay remains in service, requiring only a short shutdown for the final connection. When completed, it will provide redundancy and allow longer shutdowns for maintenance and rehabilitation. The pressure control structure will contain large-diameter control valves, isolation valves and modern control systems. It will be housed in an enclosed, climate-controlled building with a bridge crane and access hatches. The project will also replace overhead and underground electrical lines and existing unit power centers, add new power centers where needed and integrate the equipment with MWD’s supervisory control and data acquisition system. A new chemical addition facility will help control invasive mussels. MWD held an outreach event and site tour for prospective bidders in March 2025 and issued a request for qualifications that August. Six firms responded and were evaluated based on team qualifications, similar project experience, project understanding, delivery approach and construction planning. PCL received the highest score. Carollo’s contract, initially approved for $1.3 million in August 2024, was increased by $3.1 million to $4.4 million. The firm will help coordinate the project, review plans and invoices, develop cost and schedule estimates and retain an independent estimator to assist with negotiating the guaranteed maximum price. MWD staff will return to the board for authorization of the construction phase. The construction contract is expected to be awarded in spring 2029, with the upgrades completed by mid-2033.

Act 1 Construction given contract for Palomar Street park Joe Naiman for the Valley News
The future City of Wildomar parks include a 20-acre park by Gierson Avenue and Palomar Street, and Act 1 Construction will be constructing fencing, screening, and gates. The Wildomar City Council voted 5-0 August 11 to award the contract to Act 1 Construction, which is based in Norco. The construction of the 20-acre park will be phased, and the $322,764 contract awarded to Act 1 Construction is for the base bid of Phase O-A. The city purchased the 20-
acre park property northeast of Palomar Street and southwest of Gierson Avenue and the adjacent 0.49-acre parking lot parcel in 2023. The city currently performs routine maintenance of the property to maintain the site in a safe condition. The planned amenities for the park include a network of trails, picnic tables, exercise stations, interpretive panels, a community garden, a butterfly and pollinator garden, drinking fountains, pet stations, a disk golf course, a bird observation area, a raptor perch, solar lighting, bench seating, a lawn playfield, shade structures, gates, restrooms, and natural drainage swales. A new
bridge over the existing flood control channel will connect the park with the 0.49-acre vacant parcel adjacent to Palomar Street, which will be used for parking. The improvements related to the park will also include utility, stormwater, parking lot, and street improvements. The park will be constructed in phases once funding becomes available. Phase 0-A is the installation of fencing, fence screening, and gates. Phase 0-B will provide a parking lot on Palomar Street and a bridge from the parking lot to the park property and trails. Phase 1 will construct an enhanced trail network within
the park property along with landscaping improvements. The ultimate buildout of the park amenities will be Phase 2. A bid package was advertised July 16. The package included a base bid for fencing, screening, and gates along with an additive bid item for a temporary parking area on the park property west of Gierson Ave. (The temporary parking area would be removed when the park is developed and improved at a future time but would provide temporary vehicular access to the park property from Gierson Ave for trail access). Three bids were received by the August 5 deadline. The
engineer’s estimate for both the base bid and the additive bid was $470,000. An addenda was issued, and bidders were required to acknowledge that addenda. The failure of H.L. Hitchcock Construction to acknowledge that addenda made the bid by the Rancho Cucamonga company non-responsive. Act 1 Construction had a base bid of $322,764 and an additive bid of $110,682 for a total amount of $433,446. Unless a change order or inclement weather would require a time extension the fencing, screening, and gates will be completed by October 30.
Hemet to use Ambulance Service Contract Penalty Funds for paramedic training
Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News
If a private or contracted ambulance company does not meet contractual performance standards such as response time or minimum staffing it is subject to fine penalties. The City of Hemet will be using Ambulance Service Contract Penalty Funds to train paramedics. The Hemet City Council voted 5-0 August 11 to approve up to $130,000 of Ambulance Service Contract Penalty Funds for Hemet Fire Department paramedic training. The action also approved a
memorandum of understanding with the California Firefighter Joint Apprenticeship Committee for participation in the Paramedic Upgrade Academy. The Cal-JAC Academy provides a comprehensive paramedic education program. The Paramedic Upgrade Academy is designed specifically for firefighters currently certified as Emergency Medical Technicians and provides comprehensive instruction including classroom education, laboratory training, clinical rotations, examinations, and field internship experiences required for National Registry certification
and California paramedic licensure. The academy curriculum consists of approximately 644 instructional hours beginning in August 2026. Tuition, books, licensing examinations, and required educational materials are funded through the Cal-JAC program, which receives grant funding for those expenses. The participating agencies are responsible for employee compensation, scheduling accommodations, and operational coverage during training. The Hemet Fire Department has enrolled three EMTs in the training course. Although the
course schedule is designed around shift rotations, allowing students to complete much of their training on off-duty days, certain mandatory class sessions directly overlap with scheduled duty days. The need to provide shift backfill during those overlapping periods represents the primary cost for the city, and the $130,000 appropriation will fund overtime backfilling which will be necessary on the various duty days each student is in class. Under the memorandum of understanding participating fire departments are responsible for sponsoring qualified personnel,
providing scheduling accommodations, maintaining workers’ compensation coverage, coordinating field internships, and ensuring adequate operational staffing throughout the training program. Any unused funds will be placed back under the Ambulance Penalty Fee fund balance to be used for future projects. When the Hemet firefighters complete the program they were be eligible for an additional 15 percent of their base salary, and that will be included in future year budgets.
weed abatement operations for fire prevention and suppression. On numerous occasions the Hemet Fire Department has asked the Public Works Department to utilize the water truck for fire mop up, and the replacement truck will be able to fulfill that function. City staff researched various models and sizes of trucks to determine the best fit and value. The Ford F750 model with a Valew water truck system was determined to be the best option. The truck has a tank capacity of
2,000 gallons and can apply water through an option of two front sprayers, two rear sprayers, one side sprayer and a rear-mounted hose reel. The truck’s short wheelbase makes it more maneuverable and easier to fit into a variety of locations. Its gasoline engine meets all South Coast Air Quality Management District and California Air Resources Board requirements for the type of vehicle. The 1991 truck will be sold at auction.
Hemet to purchase new water truck Joe Naiman for the Valley News The City of Hemet will be replacing its 35-year-old water truck. A 5-0 Hemet City Council vote August 11 approved the purchase of a Ford F750 Water Truck from PB Loader Corporation. The Fresno vendor has an agreement with the Sourcewell government agency purchasing cooperative which provides pricing for equipment so the City of
Hemet will receive a 10 percent Sourcewell member discount and the purchase price including sales tax will be $128,399.66. The vote also declared the 1991 truck to be surplus. The city’s Public Works Department currently owns a 1991 Ford water truck. The city’s maintenance department has allowed the vehicle to be in use for 35 years, but it constantly requires maintenance and repairs. That decreases the truck’s reliability in the field, and it also has a diesel
engine that the South Coast Air Quality Management District has deemed low usage and targeted for replacement. Maintenance costs and down time warrant replacement of the 35-year-old truck. A new reliable water truck will be valuable to various operations throughout the Public Works Department and can be used by all divisions for tasks such as dust control, soil compaction, site cleanup, landscape maintenance and irrigation, and assistance in
Hydrant Belles win national Hydrant Hustle competition Joe Naiman for the Valley News
The American Water Works Association’s 2026 national Annual Conference and Expo was in Washington, DC, in June. Normally the Annual Conference and Expo has a Hydrant Hysteria competition in which two-person teams assemble a fire hydrant, and when that wasn’t part of this year’s program WaterWisePro Training, LLC, obtained a permit to hold a Hydrant Hustle competition June 22 in front of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial. The Hydrant Belles from the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District won the women’s Hydrant Hustle competition. Haley Garland and Lulu Seward comprised the Hydrant Belles team whose winning time was 1:34.00 including penalties. The Hydrant Honeys from Union County Water in North Carolina southeast of Charlotte placed second with a finals run of 1:35.93. “We were fast enough to have 15 seconds in penalties and still win,” Garland said. “Happy with the time, not happy with the penalties, but we did win.” Garland and Seward assembled the hydrant in 1:19.00. A ten-second penalty was assessed because a set screw was loose on the bonnet and a five-second penalty was for a loose nut on the top flange. The coach for the women’s teams can be either male or female. Ray McCullough coached the Hydrant Belles as well as the Valve Vixens team of Patricia Castellanos and Megan Mitchell whose fifth-place time in the preliminaries kept them out of the finals. The AWWA 2023 California-Nevada Section conference was in San Diego, and female EVMWD staff members witnessed the Hydrant Hysteria activity. They decided to participate in the 2024 Hydrant Hysteria competition and found four willing female employees.
Garland and Seward comprised the Hydrant Belles team while the 2024 Sprinkle Squad consisted of Jennifer Aguirre and Lenai Hunter. Actual EVMWD hydrant assembly is performed by the district’s meter department, which includes McCullough. None of the Hydrant Belles, Sprinkle Squad, or Valve Vixens members work with hydrants professionally. McCullough and the teams practiced after work hours. The original four women began practicing at the beginning of February 2024. Initially their times to assemble a hydrant exceeded eight minutes. The teams increased their practice frequency from three to five days each week. In late February 2024 the two EVMWD teams were part of a demonstration at a fair conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. The Sprinkle Squad duo assembled their hydrant in 1:53 while Hydrant Belles completed their task in 2:13. The 2024 AWWA section conference was held in Burlingame. Hydrant Belles and Sprinkle Squad swept first and second and were 1/100 of a second within each other; Garland and Seward had a time of 1:47.35 and Aguirre and Hunter finished in 1:47.36. The June 2024 national Annual Conference and Expo was in Anaheim. The host section is allowed to enter two men’s teams and two women’s teams at the national Hydrant Hysteria competition. Garland and Seward gave Hydrant Belles a winning time of 1:31.25. Sprinkle Squad captured third place with Aguirre and Hunter assembling their hydrant in 1:39.50. Work commitments forced Aguirre and Hunter to stop competing in Hydrant Hysteria events, and they were replaced by Castellanos and Mitchell. The 2025 section conference was in Sacramento, and Hydrant Belles won while the Valve Vixens debut of Castellanos and Mitchell
included the third-place time. Garland and Seward won their second consecutive national championship in Denver, and their time of 1:18.18 set a women’s record. As the defending national champions Garland and Seward earned automatic entry into the 2026 national competition even though they were unable to compete at the California-Nevada Section conference April 6-9 in San Diego. Castellanos and Mitchell had the winning time of 1:48.32 April 8 to send the Valve Vixens to the national event. The EVMWD participants along with McCullough arrived in Washington on June 21. That day they helped set up the Hydrant Hustle. “It was really hot in Washington, DC,” Garland said. After participating in the Hydrant Hustle competition June 22 the EVMWD staff members attended June 23 and June 24 AWWA conference sessions before returning to California June 25. The trip to Washington, DC, was the first for both Garland and Seward. “It was beautiful. To be there was very patriotic,” Seward said. “It was America all over.” “You’d have to go there 100 times to see half of the history,” Garland said. “There’s just so much history and monuments,” Garland said. “It was nice to be able to go.” The EVMWD staff members had a tour of the United States Capitol and also witnessed a military flyover. Hydrant Hustle and the Annual Conference and Expo were also in Washington the week prior to the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. “It made it more special,” Seward said. WaterWisePro incorporated the 250th anniversary theme in the mat where the hydrant assembly took place. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence (some changes from
Jefferson’s draft were made by the Continental Congress). The Jefferson Memorial was completed in 1943, which was the 200th anniversary of Jefferson’s birth. “The location was amazing. It was an honor to be out there,” Garland said. “It was great. It was a very nice setup and location.” “The scenery just looked majestic,” Seward said. “We felt like a true American champion. It was beautiful.” The past two national competitions were held indoors as were the past three section competitions, so neither Hydrant Belles nor Valve Vixens had previously completed outdoors. “It was hot and humid there in DC. We were kind of out of our element,” Seward said. “We still came up on top and it’s amazing to be able to bring that trophy back for the third year, and we felt stronger than ever.” Eight women’s teams and ten men’s teams participated in Hydrant Hustle. “It was great to see all those women competitors from all around the country,” Seward said. Hydrant Hustle began with each team having two preliminary runs with the better time (including penalties) being used for the teams’ positions. The first Hydrant Belles run took 1:26.04 with a ten-second penalty giving them an official time of 1:36.04. Valve Vixens had the second-fastest time in the first preliminary run at 1:36.81 while Hydrant Honeys had the third-place time of 1:36.84. Garland noted that the first run typically took longer than the second run. “They’re just getting used to it,” she said. “Usually you get better by the second round.” The second preliminaries run took Hydrant Belles 1:17.56, and no penalties were assessed. “Nobody else was even close,” Seward said. Hydrant Honeys had a second run of 1:31.87. Baxter and Woodman Consulting Engineers is based in Illinois and the com-
pany’s Babes & Wrenches team had a second run of 1:34.64 to earn third. The top three teams from the preliminaries advanced to the finals. Hydrant Wranglers from the San Antonio Water System had the fourth-place time of 1:35.72. Valve Vixens had a time of 1:44.40 on their second assembly, so their first-run time of 1:36.81 gave them fifth. “It was a pretty tight competition,” Garland said. Neither of the other two women’s teams incurred penalties in the final. “We did have a penalty, but we still won,” Seward said. “We hope to have another champion run next year,” Garland said. “Since we already did the three-peat now we’re aiming for a legacy,” Seward said. As defending champions Hydrant Belles will compete in the 2027 national competition in San Diego. “Not having to travel is definitely helpful,” Garland said. “We’re going to keep the trophy here because the competition’s going to be in our back yard,” Seward said. “We’ll see you all in San Diego.” Garland is an inspector in the district’s engineering department. She was raised in Lake Elsinore and attended Temescal Canyon High School. Garland made her water industry debut when she became an EVMWD employee ten years ago. Seward was raised in Orange County. She has worked for the Elsinore Valley district for the past 17 years and is in the water quality department. Seward had not worked in the water industry prior to being with Elsinore Valley. The Elsinore Water District was consolidated into the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District in 2011. McCullough had been with the Elsinore Water District for 11 years before joining the consolidated district. He was raised in the City of Riverside and attended Arlington High School.

Hemet City Council approves on-site OPINION street improvements, reduces bond Recycling could be impacted amount for Saddle Point development statewide including Riverside Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News Other than completion of the warranty period Lennar Homes has completed its obligations for on-site street improvements of Lennar’s Saddle Point development. On August 11 the Hemet City Council voted 5-0 to accept the on-site street improvements for the project while reducing the remaining bond amount. In July 2021 the city council approved a tract map creating 294 residential lots, one lot for park and recreation purposes, 23 lots for street and public utility purposes, 10 lettered lots for landscape and maintenance purposes, and one lot for access and maintenance purposes. The
streets were named or were improvements of Spur Drive, Old Wagon Drive, Lasso Drive, Chute Drive, Bronco Road, Via Borrego, Rodeo Drive, Manila Street, Cottage Drive, Old Canyon Drive, Breachy Way, Coyote Street, Old Steel Way, Arroyo Street, Earp Way, Chaps Way, Corral Way, Saloon Street, Rowel Street, Paseo Diamante, Poplar Street, Warren Road, and Mustang Way. A subdivision improvement agreement which included a $10,243,447 performance bond and a $10,243,447 labor and materials bond to ensure payment for labor and materials used to build the improvements was recorded in December 2022. In May 2025 the city council accepted improvements associat-
ed with the tract map other than for the on-site street improvements, which were not in a condition at that time to be accepted by the city. The bond amount was reduced to $5,623,172 which covered $4,462,305 for the onsite street improvements and a 25 percent warranty amount of $1,106,206. On July 9 the Engineering Division of the city’s Public Works Department determined that the onsite street improvements are complete. The August 11 city council action reduces the remaining bond amount to $1,115,576. The bond will be released in full following the August 11, 2027, completion of the one-year warranty period.
Hardy and Harper awarded State Street paving contract Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News Hardy and Harper was awarded the City of Hemet contract for the resurfacing of State Street. The Hemet City Council voted 5-0 August 11 to award a $539,000 contract to the Lake Forest company. The city manager was authorized to issue change orders up to a cumulative $53,900. The work will include approximately 189,000 square feet of grind and overlay improvements. State Street will be resurfaced from its intersection with Stetson Avenue to just south of
its intersection with Chambers Street. The City of Hemet had the resurfacing in its capital improvement plan while the planned capital improvement projects of the Eastern Municipal Water District included waterline improvements along State Street between approximately Stetson Avenue and Chambers Street. The city and the water district coordinated the two capital improvement projects. Eastern was the lead agency for the waterline improvements and handled construction management and inspection services. The waterline improvements have been completed, but the pavement rehabilitation was not part
of that project. The completion of the waterline allows the city to rehabilitate the State Street pavement without subsequent disruption from planned EMWD activity. A bid package for the State Street pavement rehabilitation was advertised June 1. Bids were due June 30. Twelve bids were received. Hardy and Harper submitted the low bid of $539,000. Eagle Paving, LLC, of Poway had the second-lowest bid at $571,200. The $603,000 total budget also includes $10,000 for materials testing and $1,000 for administration expenses.
Hemet approves Acacia Avenue and Ramona Street sidewalk contract Joe Naiman for the Valley News The City of Hemet awarded a contract for sidewalk improvements along Acacia Avenue and Ramona Street. A 4-0 Hemet City Council vote August 11, with Mayor Linda Krupa recusing herself, approved a $348,690 contract with CT&T Concrete Paving, Inc., for the work. The vote also authorized up to $34,869 of additional expenditures to cover change orders or unforeseen circumstances. The sidewalk improvements on
the north side of Acacia Avenue will be from South Gilbert Street to South Santa Fe Street. Both the east and west sides of Ramona Street from Acacia Avenue to Kimball Avenue will have sidewalk improvements. In addition to sidewalks meeting Americans with Disabilities Act standards the work will also include curb ramps, gutter improvements, and concrete driveway approaches in areas where those facilities are either currently missing or do not meet accessibility standards. The project will also include replacement of non-compliant
concrete improvements, grading, compaction, removal and disposal of existing improvements, and relocation of existing items as needed.

Winchester contractor DT Stellar General Engineering had a bid amount of $359,810 which was the second lowest.
CROSSWORD PUZZLE ANSWERS
County
By Steve Slater Regulator y Compliance Manager, Universal Ser vice Recycling, Inc. It’s been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. That may be true, but as we witness a flawed bill making its way through the California legislature, it may also be paved with new, burdensome metal recycling regulations that as written will cost jobs, force businesses to close and leave fewer recycling options for consumers. SB 811 by Senator Anna Caballero is well intentioned to protect our environment when recycling scrap metal and automobiles, but it misses the mark on holding the largest corporations accountable for their negligence. However, an unintended consequence of this well-intended proposal is the severe, adverse impact it will have on small, family-owned recycling businesses that, in contrast to the large facilities, do not expose the environment to such chemicals or waste during their operations. Metal recyclers of all sizes – from “mom and pop” establishments to larger, full-scale “mega shredders” — have been an important cornerstone across the nation. We both provide a safe and effective place for businesses and families to dispose of and recycle their metal products in their own backyard. We both create jobs, contribute to the local economy and support our community schools and teams. But that’s where the similarity stops. Smaller recyclers such as ours do not operate like the ‘big guys” using mega shredders. Larger scale operations recycle entire vehicles – automobile fleets, buses, trucks and more – directly into their machines. For a long while, the state granted these facilities an exemption from California’s hazardous waste laws, allowing them to chemically treat the residue – indeed, a hazardous waste – and deliver it to ordinary municipal landfills as though it were household trash. Proponents of SB 811 are right to recognize that this discretionary arrangement allowed the large facilities to operate outside of the waste permitting system, thus producing contamination problems and enforcement settlements. But, regrettably, the bill as is would unintentionally do irreparable harm to smaller recycling facilities that simply do not expose the environment to hazardous waste in our processes. They use chemicals treatment of metal residue, a known hazardous waste in lieu of following Hazardous Waste Control Laws for disposal of their toxic waste, we don’t. We follow all existing regulations for the disposal of hazardous waste at hazardous waste landfills ensuring safety in the environment and human health. The problem is that the bill brings the small facilities – again, all of whom do not expose the environment to hazardous condi-
tions – under the same rules and regulations as the larger players, even though the gaps it targets never existed for us. SB 811 does not fill a regulatory hole for the small facilities – it duplicates the process and layers already struggling small businesses like ours with more unnecessary, unreasonable rules and expectations. Small recyclers already comply with litany of regulators including state toxics officials, local hazardous materials agencies, regional air districts, water boards overseeing stormwater permits, and local fire and land-use authorities. Under this legislation, we will now also be required to obtain two separate permits from the state Department of Toxic Substances Control, paying for two sets of fees for recycling processes and outcomes that we simply do not practice. Small facilities will effectively pay twice for the same protection, amounting to millions of dollars per facility over time in duplicative fees, permitting and compliance costs. In short, SB 811 codifies a historically relaxed standard that allows chemical treatment of hazardous waste and codifies settlement terms from lawsuits after major environmental disasters, while small shredders like ours fully adhere to California’s hazardous waste control laws. The bill would hold our folks to terms with activities we do not perform and environmental disasters that did not happen at our facilities. Facilities like ours won’t likely survive. Many that shut their doors will send their customers to the remaining larger facilities, thus placing more trucks and cars on the highways, emitting more pollution and a metal recycling market will be consolidated into the hands of a few multinational corporations. SB 811 essentially will create a monopoly of larger corporate bigwigs versus the family-owned companies that make America great. The way to fix this and still strike the right balance between cleaner recycling and a thriving small business environment is to amend SB 811 to focus where the problem really exists: chemical treatment of auto shredder residue, which is performed only by larger scale facilities. This will preserve the intent of Caballero’s bill, modernize standards and create real accountability for the operations that prompted this legislation – while allowing small recyclers like ours to keep our lights on, people employed and communities served. There is a window of opportunity and pathway to protect both our small metal shredders and the environment at the same time. SB 811 must make good, durable policy sense for all stakeholders in the ecosystem. By narrowing the bill to focus on the responsible entities, larger recycling facilities, to address the prevailing concerns, it helps ensure we can best serve our citizens, job creators and communities in the safest, smartest and most equitable way of all.

Winchester resident Naslund wins doubles match at girls national championships Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News The USTA Billie Jean King Girls National Championships tournament took place August 8-16 at the Barnes Tennis Center in San Diego, and Winchester player Madelyn Naslund won a doubles match while also participating in the under-16 singles division. Naslund paired with Surabhi Raghavendra of San Diego for the girls under-16 doubles competition. Their first match was August 8 against the Austin, Texas, duo of Liberty Benfield and Milagro Wilson. Naslund and Raghavendra won 6-1 and 6-3 sets to advance to the second round. In the second round August 9 Naslund and Raghavendra faced the sixth-seeded team of Alexandra Grilliot from the Indiana town of Carmel and Vanessa Kruse of St. Augustine, Florida. Guilliot and Kruse won that 6-0, 6-3 match. In the first round of singles play Alice Chen of Alameda defeated Naslund in a 6-1, 6-4 match.
Sauro wins overall race at D38 Grand Prix at Glen Helen
Gentry, Griffin, Pellanda, Van Horn win classes Joe Naiman Special to Valley News Menifee rider Bill Sauro won his overall race at the American Motorcyclist Association’s District 38 Grand Prix which was held August 16 at Glen Helen Raceway, and four other area riders also won their classes. The first race of the day com-
bined the 86-200 cc, women’s, Masters (60 or older), and Super Senior (50 or older) expert, amateur, novice, and beginner racers. Sauro won the Super Senior Expert class as well as the overall race with a time of 50:38 for his ten laps. Two Fallbrook racers won their class in that competition although neither completed ten laps before all riders on the
lead lap were given the checkered flag. Devin Van Horn was the fastest 200 Amateur rider and was 14th overall with a nine-lap time of 53:03. Evan Pellanda was the 27th overall finisher and the first 200 Novice rider to cross the finish line; he had a time of 52.26 seconds for eight laps. The Senior (40 or older) and Veterans (30 or older) riders at
various levels also competed in the same race, and two Lake Elsinore riders won their classes. Micky Griffin was the third overall finisher with a time of 52:34 and the first finisher among Senior Expert competitors. Donald Gentry was the fastest Senior Novice rider and was 17th overall in the race; he completed nine laps in 54:08.
The highest area finisher in the 201-255 cc and Open (251 cc and above) race, Menifee’s Oskar Kristjansson, finished fourth both overall and in the Open Expert class with a time of 53:43. Only five riders in that race finished on the lead lap; Menifee’s Kristofer Kristjansson was sixth both overall and among Open Expert riders with a nine-lap time of 50:37.
Rough second quarter costs young Broncos football season opener Joe Naiman Special to the Valley News The first quarter of the August 20 football game in Murrieta between Great Oak High School and Vista Murrieta High School was scoreless, but Great Oak scored all 28 points in the second quarter before the Wolfpack obtained a 42-21 victory. “We played well for most of the game. We just had a bad four minutes,” said Vista Murrieta head coach Coley Candaele. The Broncos allowed 21 points during that four-minute span late
in the first half. “That’s the difference in the game,” Candaele said. Each team scored one touchdown and kicked one extra point in the third period. Vista Murrieta had a 14-7 scoring advantage in the final quarter. “We played well considering that we started three freshmen, eight sophomores, and only had five returning players that have played varsity,” Candaele said. “They played well for as much youth as we had.” The Broncos had 17 starters who had not previously played varsity. “Eleven of those are
freshmen or sophomores, so they played freshman football or eighth-grade football last year,” Candaele said. “You’re going to have some growing pains.” The sophomores include quarterback Levi Dean, who completed 17 of his 30 passes for a cumulative 165 yards and two touchdowns. Six of those passes were caught by freshman Teagen People while five were caught by senior Brock Norman. Vista Murrieta’s leading rusher, sophomore Zaedyn Boykins, gained 58 yards on 15 carries while also catching a two-yard touchdown pass.
Great Oak was led by junior Anthony Clark, who gained 212 yards from passes, 63 yards from carries, and five from a kick return. Senior linebacker Zackery de Leon tackled a Vista Murrieta ball carrier 12 times with five of those being solo stops. “Even though we are young we have to grow up very fast,” Candaele said. “I have to find a better way to get these guys to grow up quicker.” Last year the Broncos won all five of their pre-league games. Vista Murrieta’s season-opening loss was the Broncos’ first since
2021. “It was obviously a disappointing way to start the season,” Candaele said. “That’s why we have ten games and see how much better we can get each week for the next nine.” The Broncos host Damien High School of Laverne today. An October 1 home game against Centennial (Corona) will begin Big West Upper League play. “We will be much better,” Candaele said. “I really believe in this group.”
Finger wins heat race, leads main before finishing second Joe Naiman Special to Valley News Edward Finger won the Hobby Stocks heat race August 15 at Barona Speedway, and the Murrieta driver was leading that night’s main event before being passed late in the race and finishing second. Finger began the eight-lap heat race on the inside of the third row. After one lap Yuma’s Scott Tenney was in the lead and Cody Daffern of Brawley was second. “Was running third, battling with Cody and Scott,” Finger said. Daffern’s brother, Tommy, had started alongside Finger. “Coming out of (turn) 2 got pretty loose,” Finger said. “Got into Tommy pretty hard. Didn’t affect the car at all, though, and
was able to regroup.” Finger was soon challenging Cody Daffern for second. “I was battling inside of Cody, right behind Scott Tenney, and was able to get a really decent run,” Finger said. In the seventh lap Finger passed Daffern on the inside and then passed Tenney on the inside to take the lead. “I was able to get clear of him,” Finger said. Tommy Daffern moved into second by the end of the race. Phoenix driver Drew Madrid finished third. “Car felt good,” Finger said. Tenney began the 20-lap main event on the pole with Madrid on the outside of the front row. Cody Daffern started the feature on the inside of the second row and Finger was on the outside of the second row. Tommy Daffern took the original green flag on

the inside of the third row while Tucson driver Robert Pennington began on the outside of the third row. After the first lap Tenney had the lead, Cody Daffern was in second, Madrid was third, and Finger was fourth. Finger moved into second behind Tenney during the second lap. “Was able to get around the 15 (Madrid) that started in front of me pretty quickly,” Finger said. Passing Cody Daffern was more difficult. “Had a pretty tough battle,” Finger said. That lap also saw contact between Tommy Daffern and Pennington, although a yellow flag later in the lap caused a restart. “I was lucky enough to get a caution and come back through the field,” Daffern said. Finger was able to move to the inside of Tenney and pass the
Yuma driver. “I got a decent run coming out of one of the corners,” Finger said. After taking the lead Finger then returned to the outside groove. “It was a top groove dominant racetrack for the main event,” he said. Daffern was able to pass his brother and then Tenney to move into second. “I had to run down Eddie,” Daffern said. With four laps remaining Daffern took the lead. “I had bobbled a little bit going into turn 1,” Finger said. “Tommy was able to get inside of me.” “The outside was better, but to make a pass you actually had to do like a slide,” Daffern said. “Eddie got tight and pushed up the track 1 and 2 and let me get underneath him.” Finger was unable to catch Daffern. “He was way too fast,”
Finger said. Cody Daffern finished third. “Extremely happy. That’s an improvement of when we had a similar track earlier in the year,” Finger said of finishing second. Finger had one Pure Stocks race in 2022 and also competed in that Barona Speedway division from 2023 to 2025. He made his debut in his Hobby Stock with a 2020 Dodge Charger chassis April 11. “I’m still learning how to race the car,” Finger said. “I’m still struggling with reading the racetrack 100 percent.” Wildomar’s Josh Wakeland, who made his Barona Speedway debut earlier this year, finished eighth in the Pure Stocks main event August 15 and was fourth in his heat race. The race was the third for Wakeland and his best main event finish.

DIGS from page A-1 were divided into panels that filled the walls in an artistic way. The full kitchen, located off the room, was busy with Tribal Chef Anita Morillo and her team preparing lunch for all the attendees. Prior to the move, Elders met at the old Tribal Hall. During the open house, Joyce Placencia recalled working in the Medical Records department at the old clinic. Now sitting in the new multipurpose room, she said it was the same spot she was in before retiring from the clinic after 30 years. Marian Chacon, another Soboba Elder, likes the new space for their meetings. She also likes the photos of the canyon and other Soboba landmarks that are hanging throughout the building. The TANF program has a full year-round calendar of events for the youth and now they have plenty of space to accommodate them all. There is a conference room, computer labs, a file room and six offices for staff which includes Regional TANF Manager Harold Arres, Senior Program Specialist Annalisa Tucker, Transportation Coordinator Nancy Gallegos, and Administrative Assistant Benny Helms IV. “Before, we just had three office spaces and it was so tight,” Arres said. They also shared a multipurpose room with the preschool. “I would say having our own space that we actually fit in and have room to grow. It’s nice being able to plan activities based on our needs and our schedule.” He said the new location is convenient for the TANF families that live off the reservation, which makes it much easier for them. Sylvan Learning offers tutoring sessions to TANF members every weekday afternoon. Arres said there can be 30-40 students seeking assistance when grades come out and now they will have plenty of room to accommodate everyone’s schedule. He said some of the other activities, such as Fancy Shawl and Bird Singing classes, will take place at the Old Tribal Hall because of the connection to the Cultural Resource department which has moved into the old TANF program space next to the preschool. Housing Specialist Dondi Silvas said the new Soboba Hous-
ing Program office is definitely larger, which is great. Being able to share a conference room with Soboba Tribal Environmental Department allows even more access to space she may need as she often has to notarize documents for clients. Environmental Director Christian Aceves said the move was most welcome as all four staff members now have a dedicated office. Environmental Specialist Jonathan Marquez and Administrative Assistant DeAnn Bejar are fairly new to the department. Once a fourth team member is added, the department will be fully staffed once again. “We are tremendously thankful to leadership for this huge upgrade, which is a reflection of our growth as we continue to offer more services over the years,” Aceves said. One of their newer programs is providing red bins for hazardous household waste collection by Tribal Elders that STED will pick up when full so they can properly dispose of it all. This is just one of many services that are available to Elders. Aceves and others in the new building were grateful for the opportunity to personalize their departments with particular accent wall colors and photos that were reproduced onto acoustic panels that reduce echoes, used throughout the facility. Soboba Tribal Family Services’ dedicated area on the building’s west side offers an activity room with lots of games for children, a kitchen area where they can also have fun cooking with the kids, a large conference room and several offices for staff to meet with clients. A computer room is available for Tribal members to complete job applications and forms or to use if they simply don’t have access to a computer. Director Alicia Golchuk is joined by Tribal Social Workers Deatra “Dee Dee” Manzanilla and Desiree Salazar and Administrative Assistant Catherine Gonzalez. The walls are decorated with beautiful paintings created by Salazar’s fiancé Bobby Von Martin, adding a colorful and personal touch to their space. Offering a full gamut of services, the team is happy to be able to offer a comfortable, homey, and inviting place for everyone to meet.

Community gathers to remember longtime volunteer Annie Ashby Diane Sieker Staf f Writer
Friends, neighbors and community leaders gathered at the Anza Community Hall Friday, Aug. 21 for an evening honoring the life and legacy of Mary Ann “Annie” Ashby, a longtime and dedicated Anza volunteer who passed away April 23 at age 83. Presented by the Anza Thimble Club, the gathering offered those who knew Annie an opportunity to share memories, stories and a little time together in her honor. Joan Kessman of the Thimble Club guided the evening, encouraging attendees to speak about their experiences and memories of Annie. The room was filled with friends and well-wishers, with many standing to share stories of a woman whose years of service made her a familiar and muchloved presence throughout the community. Desserts and coffee were served as people visited and remembered Annie. Annie was an active member of the Anza Thimble Club for many years, including serving as president. She helped organize food for the club’s Victorian Tea, prepared community meals and served as a longtime poll worker. Her volunteer work was seemingly tireless. Annie could often be found supporting community events and organizations, including Anza Days pancake breakfasts, Anza Electric Cooperative annual meetings, Veterans of Foreign Wars dinners, Sacred Heart Catholic Church’s Food for the Faithful program and graduations. She was also involved with the Anza Citizens Patrol and
numerous behind-the-scenes efforts that helped keep community activities moving. A Memory Book was created in honor of Annie’s life and legacy. Filled with memories, stories and photographs, the book will be displayed in the Anza Thimble Club room at the Hamilton Museum, providing a lasting tribute to a woman whose life was deeply intertwined with the community she loved. In a letter read at the gathering, Christi James–who was unable to attend–recalled meeting Annie through her help with From the Heart Christian Women’s Ministries. “She was straightforward, no nonsense, right to the point, and I loved her,” James wrote, describing Annie as someone who seemed to be everywhere in the community, helping wherever she was needed. “Annie was this community–she held us together,” James penned. “She kept us going as Anza’s matriarch.” James ended her remembrance with a challenge to those who knew Annie: “Let’s honor her by continuing to do as she would do. Let’s do it for Annie.” For the many people who gathered at the Community Hall, the evening was more than a remembrance. It was a reflection of the lasting impact Annie Ashby made through years of dedication, generosity and service. Her presence will be deeply missed, but the memories and community spirit she helped nurture will continue. Diane Sieker can be reached by email at dsieker@reedermedia.com.

John Yarrow plays soft music during the memorial gathering at the Anza Community Hall Friday, Aug. 21 honoring Mary Ann “Annie” Ashby, a longtime and dedicated Anza volunteer who passed away April 23. Anza Valley Outlook/Diane Sieker photo Donna Mae Bradley of Anza, California, passed away July 6, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 72. Donna was born Aug. 15, 1953, in San Diego, California, and attended San Diego High School. She was a Native American woman of the Wintu Tribe of the Redding, California, area and valued her heritage and family history. That interest in family history led Donna to become a genealogist, preserving and exploring the stories and connections that bind generations together. In the Anza community, Donna was also affectionately known as the “Jam Lady,” earning a reputation through her business and the homemade jams for which she became well known. Her work became part of how many people in the community knew and remembered her. Donna shared 18 years of marriage with her husband, Mike Morrison. She is survived by Mike; her brother; two daughters; five granddaughters; and one great-granddaughter. Her life was centered around family, heritage and the community she called home. Through her genealogy, she helped preserve the past; through her family, she leaves a legacy that will continue for generations. Donna will be greatly missed by her husband, family, friends and all those whose lives she touched.

Advance Review – “Coyote vs. Acme” By Bob Garver
The dialogue-free Road Runner/ Wile E. Coyote cartoons are my favorite of the Looney Tunes. No jokes centered around annoying accents or speech impediments, just pure physical comedy about a hapless carnivore and his Ahab-like obsession with catching and eating a skinny flightless bird. Although the cartoons are ridiculous, they follow strict rules, outlined by creator Chuck Jones. Rules include the action always having to take place in the American Southwest and the Road Runner always having to stay on the road. Oh, and the coyote can only use devices provided by the unseen Acme Corporation. These devices’ failure, along with the coyote’s own ineptitude, must always be the cause of the villain’s downfall, which usually takes the form of an actual fall from a great height. New live-action/animation hybrid “Coyote vs. Acme” sees the coyote finally have enough of the technology giant’s faulty products. He enlists Albuquerque attorney Kevin Avery (Will Forte), a lawyer so unambitious that he rarely settles for more than three figures, to sue the corporate behemoth for decades of defectiveness. I would have suggested a different small-time lawyer from Albuquerque, but I guess this isn’t a universe where they can just Call Saul. Even with his loyal niece Paige (Lana Condor) supporting him as an intern, the deck is stacked against Avery. Acme has a powerful legal team led by undefeated hotshot Buddy Crane (John Cena). His accident-prone client is unsympathetic, especially since as a cartoon, he can’t sustain lasting injuries, putting in doubt how much damage the backfiring products have really done. Also, the key witness is going to have to be the only other being in the vicinity when the products failed: The Road Runner himself. How will Avery ever get the bird to testify on behalf of an enemy that has always tried – and is, in fact, still trying – to eat him? Avery and Wile E. do have one thing on their side: the truth. Acme CEO Foghorn Leghorn has indeed been exploiting cartoon characters via defective products for years. There’s a complex conspiracy in play, and other Looney Tunes characters are part of it. Daffy Duck was a product tester driven insane by unsafe working conditions. Tweety Bird is being forced to work as an Acme spy against his will. An animated version of Peter Lorre was a scientist silenced for knowing too much. As for the mysterious
whistleblower secretly leaking information to Avery… let’s just say the movie’s setting of Albuquerque is where he should take a left turn. It’s hard to talk about “Coyote vs. Acme” without mentioning the rough road the movie had to its release. To make a long story short, Warner Bros. Discovery kept the completed film from release for three years so it could take a tax write-off. The film might never
have been released at all had distributor Ketchup Entertainment not bought the rights for $50 million. That Warner Bros. Discovery tried to deny the public any completed film with years of effort behind it is disgraceful, but that it was this gem of a movie is downright “dethpicable.” “Coyote vs. Acme” is the best Looney Tunes-related output in decades. The classic physical comedy
is so sharp, it’s like the characters spent every day since the last Chuck Jones-directed short in 1963 training for this movie. It also hits some surprisingly strong emotional beats about Coyote and Road Runner needing each other as nemeses. I can’t say it always works as a legal thriller, and some of the logic gets murky as mediums are blurred, but overall this movie is a lot of fun. I hope it makes a lot of money for
Ketchup Entertainment and shames Warner Bros. Discovery for treating it – and Looney Tunes fans in general – so poorly. Grade: B “Coyote vs. Acme” is rated PG for cartoon violence and some language. Its running time is 101 minutes. Contact Bob Garver at rrg251@ nyu.edu.
