speed down and follow the cones laid out in front of you.

Remember that these workers are just doing their job, it isn’t their fault that traffic is slowing down. Be aware of them, they all have families that they have to go to when their shift is over.

Speed limits are reduced by half in construction zones and traffic fines are doubled, that means your average speed going down Florida will vary between 20 and 30 miles per hour. If you are in a hurry, it may be better to take Acacia Ave. or Latham for the time being, depending on where you need to go.

This project is meant to increase the safety of the highway, often times people run across the street and get stuck standing in the middle of the road waiting for an opening to get to the otherside. Some drivers act like that they can “u-turn” anywhere along the road or ignore the “Right Turn only” signs and drive all the way across the street. Medians and raised curbs will be added throughout the road to help make the highway a safer place for all Hemet and San Jacinto residents.

It’s hard to say how long the project will take depending on inspection, weather, and materials, but Florida Ave. will appear to be a completely different road when it is finally finished. Expect many detours and traffic control activity in the surrounding area especially on pour days when there are concrete trucks in the area. In order to ensure the safety of the construction workers, police presence will be escalated in that general area.

If you have any questions or what to expect during construction of the HWY-74 project I’m Available via email at VCsportskyle@gmail.com, I will be writing updates on the project as it continues so keep an eye out for future articles.

safety of the civilians as a top priority.

Their job isn’t easy, they go out everyday not knowing what to expect. In a blink of an eye a situation can arise that they weren’t trained for and they are forced to make a decision or their life could be over.

That is stressful, but they do the best they can. Their jobs aren’t just driving around to give fix it tickets, and registration citations.

That would be too easy.

Their job description isn’t to make your life harder and make sure that you are afraid of them. Literally, their job is to make sure the people in these cities are as safe as possible without showing biases.

That’s why you can get a ticket for driving on a suspended license and two days later find out that someone is breaking into your house, give them a call and they will show up and make sure your family is okay. If they were biased they wouldn’t show up to help you, they would let you figure it out on your own.

busy the last few months helping get drugs off the street, finding kids who have been kidnapped for sex traffiking, closing off roads after scary accidents, and many other things.

They want our city to be safer for the law abiding citizen and they are working hard to do that. Crime rates in the local area have been slowly declining and continue the downward slope, this is all because of our officers and the work they put in. If it wasn’t for them our streets would look like the scourge.

cities, it’s not easy, but everyday they wake up, lace up their boots, and try to make sure the city is safe for our kids to live in and that’s something we should all get behind.

As for me, there’s a local officer (since retired) who made a huge change in my life; I was going down a very scary path and he straightened me out, not by using “scared straight� tactics, but by being available for me to talk to and accepting me into his family. That’s the kind of effect officers can have on our local youth, if we encourage them to be difference makers in our community and not hate them for doing their job.

sion took place in Hemet.

A woman was killed in a solo-rollover incident that took place on the SR-74, to the west of Four Seasons Boulevard.

Witnesses reported seeing a car rollover, as well as flames burst into the air.

When first responders arrived, they found a Toyota Camry upside down, consumed by the flames that were still very much active at the time of arrival. After the fire was put out, the victim was pronounced deceased, being trapped in her vehicle.

California Highway Patrol closed the road and began to determine the cause of the crash. During their investigation, officers determined the unidentified woman was driving eastbound on Florida Ave. “when, for reasons not yet determined, she failed to negotiate the sweeping turn in the roadway,� according to CHP Officer M.

The victim’s identity has not yet been released, the investigation is still underway.

CRASH: Officers arrive at the scene to see the destroyed Nissan Versa. | Riverside County News Source cinto Valley: car accidents can happen anytime, anywhere and to anybody.

While safe driving practices are highly encouraged and promoted, many still choose not to follow these guidelines.

Maintaining decent distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you, eliminating distractions while driving and wearing a seatbelt are not new concepts. Everyone has heard of these; for good reason.

Something as simple as taking five seconds to put on a seatbelt before driving could very well save your life.

Back in March, a collision took place on Ramona Expressway/Mountain Avenue and N. Soboba street

in Hemet. One person was killed, and another was ejected from his driver’s seat through the front window, as he was not wearing a seatbelt.

We all must drive with a precautionary, defensive mindset, in order to avoid collisions and better ensure our safety, as well as the safety of our fellow drivers.

It is extremely important that we all remember, while we see cars as these beautiful pieces of work that we use in our daily lives, they are also metal machines that are capable of causing fatal crashes in an instant.

CRIME & INCIDENTS

A3

SAN BERNARDINO, CA.

California man guilty of killing family of 4 found in desert Jurors in San Bernardino found Charles “Chase” Merritt guilty of the first-degree murders of Joseph McStay and his family AMY TAXIN | AP

A

Southern California man was convicted Monday of bludgeoning a couple and their two little boys to death, then burying their bodies in a remote desert area where the crime remained hidden until an off-roader stumbled across

skeletal remains.

After a trial that spanned more than four months and depended largely on circumstantial evidence, jurors in San Bernardino found 62-year-old Charles “Chase” Merritt guilty of the first-degree murders of business associate Joseph McStay, McStay’s wife, Summer, and the couple’s 3 and 4-year-old sons.

Merritt closed his eyes and looked down when the court clerk said the word “guilty” the first of four times. Sobs came from the packed courtroom. Someone called out, “Yes!” Prosecutors said Merritt killed the family with a sledgehammer at a time when he owed McStay money and was being cut out of the victim’s business making and selling custom water fountains.

The jury also found the special circumstances of multiple murders.

The judge scheduled the penalty phase to begin Tuesday. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.

Prosecutors declined to comment after the verdict, and families on both sides left without speaking to reporters.

The McStay family vanished in 2010.

Authorities found bowls of uneaten popcorn at their San Diego County home, which had no signs of forced entry, and their car parked at a strip mall near the Mexico border.

For years, officials couldn’t determine what happened to the McStays.

At one point, investigators said they believed the family had gone to Mexico

voluntarily, though they couldn’t say why.

In 2013, their bodies were found in shallow graves in the desert after an off-road motorcyclist discovered skeletal remains in the area.

Authorities also unearthed a rusty sledgehammer that they said was used to kill the family.

“It was blow, after blow, after blow to a child’s skull,” prosecutor Britt Imes said during closing arguments.

Merritt, who worked with McStay in his water features business, was arrested in 2014.

Authorities said they traced Merritt’s cellphone to the area of the desert gravesites in the days after the family disappeared and to a call seeking to close McStay’s online bookkeeping account.

Merritt referred to Mc-

Stay in the past tense in an interview with investigators after the family vanished, and while the evidence linking him to the killings is largely circumstantial, it is “overwhelmingly convincing,” Imes said.

Merritt’s attorneys said the two men were best friends and investigators overlooked another possible suspect in the killings.

Instead, they said, authorities zeroed in on an innocent man, but the evidence didn’t add up, noting there were no signs of an attack inside the family’s home.

“They tried his character and not the facts of this case,” defense attorney James McGee told jurors.

Many questions still remain about the family’s disappearance. Prosecutors acknowledge details of the killings aren’t entirely clear

but say the evidence from the family’s car, cellphone towers and financial accounts link Merritt to the killings.

Authorities said McStay was cutting Merritt out of the business in early February and the two met on Feb. 4 in Rancho Cucamonga, where Merritt lived at the time.

Prosecutors say financial records show Merritt tried to loot the business bank accounts just before and after the family disappeared and backdated checks to Feb. 4, knowing it was the last day anyone had contact with McStay.

Phone records show McStay called Merritt seven times after the Feb. 4 meeting, with defense lawyers arguing that McStay wouldn’t likely do that if he had just fired Merritt.

AutoZone settles California hazardous waste claims for $11M

AutoZone has agreed to pay $11 million to settle California allegations that it unlawfully dumped batteries and other hazardous waste.

The attorney general’s office and prosecutors from various counties announced the settlement Tuesday.

A message to an AutoZone spokesman seeing comment wasn’t immediately returned.

Authorities alleged that from 2013 to 2015, the Tennessee-based auto parts retailer dumped or allowed customers to dump some 5 million hazardous waste items into trash bins at dozens of stores, including batteries, aerosol cans and electronic devices.

Authorities also alleged that AutoZone violated laws protecting consumer information by unlawfully disposing of customer records without having rendered personal information unreadable.

California ranch accused of neglecting retired racehorses

Animal control officers are considering whether to suggest criminal charges after about 40 retired racehorses were removed from a Southern California sanctuary that is accused of neglecting and starving the animals.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports Monday that many of the horses taken from the California Equine Retirement Foundation were so skinny that their ribs were protruding.

The operator acknowledges some horses need to be fattened up, but denies any are critically underweight. Foundation CEO Carrie Ard tells the newspaper that that the weight loss was partly a result of an exceptionally rainy winter that curbed horses’ appetites and damaged their feed. She also says some aging horses have problems maintaining weight.

Officials say they removed about 40 of nearly 70 horses that lived at the property in San Jacinto.

Man shot trying to rob off-duty deputy at California mall

Police say a man was shot and wounded when he confronted an off-duty sheriff’s deputy and his family in a Southern California mall parking lot and tried to rob them at gunpoint.

Riverside Police Officer Ryan Railsback says the would-be robber was arrested late Saturday after he showed up at a hospital with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.

The Press-Enterprise newspaper says nobody else was hurt during the attempted robbery outside the Galleria at Tyler in Riverside.

Officials didn’t identify the off-duty deputy or say which agency he works for.

7-year-old gets 1,000 stitches after California dog attack

Authorities say 7-year-old girl needed 1,000 stitches after a dog bit her face during a visit to a private animal rescue in Southern California.

The Riverside County Department of Animal Services said Saturday that the 2-yearold male Akita lunged and bit the girl at the facility in Romoland.

The girl was at the kennel with her family, hoping to adopt a dog.

KABC-TV reports the child is recovering after undergoing three hours of surgery.

The news station says the girl was with her family, hoping to adopt a dog.

Due to the severity of the attack, Animal Services is working to have the dog put down.

K

ajiya Halloway is the Quarterback of the San Jacinto Tigers football team, As a sophomore last year he lead his team into a deep playoff run and hopes to come back this season as a junior and do it again. He is cool, calm, and collected on the field and off the field and takes his football career very seriously. Kajiya knows how important his studies are as well as his play on the field in order to get into a top school, so he works his very hard trying to maintain his honor roll GPA of 3.8 which is good enough to get into most schools without his athletic promise. Add his athletic skills and any college program would be lucky to have him.

Halloway is a three sport varsity athlete, he plays football, basketball, and baseball.

When playing basketball, Kajiya is the shooting guard and when on the baseball field he plays shortstop two of the harder and most athletically demanding positions in their sports.

THE TIGER’S HOUSE: The institution that trains great athletes. | SJHS Twitter Halloway has Pac-12 dreams and would love to play football at USC. He is on the right track and has two more highschool seasons to prove that he deserves that spot. Ultimately Kajiya dreams of playing in the NFL, but he knows that it’s hard to get there, his fallback plan is to get his college degree and join the military in order to serve his country. A very mature and respectable thought from such a young man.

I asked Kajiya to tell me something that most people don’t know about him and he told me that he doesn’t play video games, he would rather

work on his homework, study his playbook, or workout. He sees video games as a distraction and something that could prevent him from reaching his dreams, he would rather have a successful NFL career than earn achievements on his game system.

Coach Galliano is confident the Kajiya will lead this team to the promised land, he calls the young quarterback “The Real Deal” and has full confidence in his ability to lead this team.

Kajiya wears number one because his favorite player is Cam Newton, he loves how he plays the game and models his game after him, funny enough I asked him if he could play under any NFL coach who would it be and he said, “Bill Belichick.” because he loves their offensive schemes and likes how they play the game, it’s smart football.

Show your support for Kajiya Halloway by coming out to the San Jacinto Tigers games this upcoming season, he promises his play will be fun and exciting and is ready to make waves in the Mountain Pass League.

H

igh school sports has been losing popularity the last ten years, some schools have even stopped playing certain sports due to not being able to put enough players on the field. It has been forgotten how amazing it is to be on a sports team. Depending on what type of a coach you have, you can learn lessons that when applied to life will ensure success. You build bonds with teammates that turn into a brotherhood, and create memories that will never be forgotten. In an age where screens seem to take up everyone’s lives between phones, tv’s, and computers, sports are starting to be forgotten.

Students hardly show up to support their school sports. I remember when I was in mid-

dle school going to the football games on friday night was the place to be, now when I go to a football game, there is only a hand full of people in the stands.

Why has this happened?

Have we forgotten what sports does to us? Teaching kids that cheating isn’t the way, that hard work pays off and that you can overcome adversity if you apply yourself to be great.

Our valley has so many ways you can get your kids involved with sports no matter what their experience level or skill is. Valley-Wide offers sports all year long, there are numerous football teams in the valley, travel baseball teams, soccer clubs, swimming clubs, etc. If you want your kids to learn social skills, hard work ethic, and respect, sports is where it starts.

There is also plenty of martial arts programs in the valley you can enroll your kids in, this will help them gain self confidence, respect, and make new friends.

Tim Kennedy (Army Sniper

WHY SHOULD OUR KIDS PLAY SPORTS?

and Former UFC Fighter) said that the military is struggling to fill out their special forces boot camps because they used to go to schools and recruit outstanding athletes who weren’t getting the college attention they are looking for and now there is so little to choose from, it is getting harder and harder to fill up spots in the special forces.

If serving in the military is a goal for you or a child you know how to get involved with sports, it looks just as good to recruiters as ROTC or Explorer programs.

Participating in sports is something you’ll never forget and it doesn’t mean you have to put the controllers down, you can still be involved in sports and play video games, the two aren’t mutually exclusive. There are hundreds of options from traditional sports, extreme sports, team sports, or track and field events. Something for everyone in Hemet and San Jacinto readily available and waiting for you to make a move.

This year The Hemet & San Jacinto Chronicle is going to apply that same coverage to a local high school football program. We will be following San Jacinto High School’s summer program as they get ready for the season. Everything that happens with the team, from injuries, position battles, kids who quit the program and much more. Coach Galliano is excited for his program to get this type of exposure and they deserve it! Last season Coach Galliano lead his team to the CIF championship game and fell short of winning the whole thing.

This year Coach Galliano knows what to expect and will make sure his Tigers are ready for war.

During the coverage of The Hemet & San Jacinto Hard Knocks there will be an extra story that coincides with it called “The Player Profile” here will be a short bio of one of the San Jacinto Tigers players so you can get to know them a little more and maybe root for them a little harder.

Right now The San Jacinto Tigers football team is having voluntary workouts a couple days a week, they aren’t allowed to touch the field as a team yet due to CIF restrictions, but they are allowed to come in and lift

weights. Their program will officially start in July when all players are required to report to camp.

Coach Galliano will start his team off with practice in order to get used to the new personnel trying out and get his team to shake the rust off. The Tigers graduated quite a few seniors last season, but Galliano and his staff are confident that the young players will step up to the plate and show that they have the talent to make another deep run in the playoffs this upcoming season.

Due to certain CIF limitations put together to assure the health and wellness of the High School athlete, they can only wear full pads so many days during summer, full contact scrimmages are very limited, and hitting drills are seldom, at best. The CIF started implementing stricter rules a few years ago and are very stern in this regard. That makes running a football program a lot harder than it was in the 80’s, 90’s, and early 2000’s, certain drills are no longer allowed, so it’s not like most of us remember it, lining up for Oklahoma drills and Bull in the Ring everyday to add “toughness” just isn’t an option.

LAKERS

Was the asking price too much?

In a huge trade the Lakers land Anthony Davis Kyle Headlee | Staff Writer

T

he Los Angeles Lakers immediately find themselves back in title contention by acquiring superstar forward Anthony Davis and with a little help from the Warriors injuries of course. Many Laker fans are left wondering if they paid too much. Assuming that Anthony Davis would be a free agent in 2020 and had his eyes on the Lakers as a prized destination, the Lakers could have waited and not given up anyone for him next summer. They would then have the right to re-sign all of their own players and go over the cap while doing it. Taking this route would have made the 2020-2021 season’s Lakers starters look like Lonzo, Ingram, James, Kuzma, Davis.

Unfortunately that is just fantasy and Laker fans are left to wonder, “What If.” In the trade the Lakers sent away Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, and three

future first round draft picks, including this years number four draft pick to the New Orleans Pelicans. ESPN Los Angeles put out a poll asking which player fans would prefer to keep and the results came back 34% Ingram, 33% Lonzo, 31% Kuzma, so there are some fans who are okay with this trade as they got to keep Kyle Kuzma. Others aren’t so happy, A lot of fans feel like the organization is giving up on Ingram too soon who many feel has the potential of becoming Kevin Durant type player. Some fans really like the way Lonzo plays the point guard position and although they are happy to see his dad go, they wanted to see what he could do wearing Nike’s instead of his Big Baller Brand shoes and having Jason Kidd part of the Lakers staff to help mentor and guide him.

Unfortunately for those people who are fans of keeping Lonzo and Ingram, you will have to watch their career develop on another team. The Lakers roster is

LAKER'S PLAYER: First look at Anthony Davis in a Laker jersey. | Courtesy Photo very interesting right now with the four main players being Lebron, Davis, Kuzma, and Wagner. The bright side is, keeping Kuzma opens the doors for so many more dominoes to fall. The Lakers can trade him to another team looking for cap space for a valuable asset (Washington Wizards Bradley Beal) a move like that would help anchor a now, non existent back court.

They could wait and see if signing another big free agent (Kawhi Leonard, Jim-

my Butler, or Kemba Walker) is possible, which isn’t likely because one of those players would have to agree to take less money and the Lakers would have to completely clear their cap room to sign them. They would be left with only Veteran Minimum & Mid-Level Exemptions (deals that can be made, that can go over cap limits) players to fill out their roster.

The Lakers could sign Nikola Vucevic and have around $8 million to use on a couple

other players, or they could take the whole $25 million of cap space they have left right now and sign key role players to support Lebron & A.D. like Seth Curry, Harrison Barnes, Eric Bledsoe, Wayne Ellington, or Kenneth Faried.

This much is true, for the first time since the Kobe Era has passed the Lakers are poised to make a deep playoff push, Hopefully Rob Pelinka and the rest of the front office make the right choices to get them there.

Now Taking over the Valley!

n June 13, family members and friends watched 22 students graduate from the Soboba Tribal Preschool’s kindergarten program that many had attended since the age of two. The following morning, 31 pre-kindergartners excitedly promoted to the next grade for the fall, many of whom will stay at the Soboba Reservation school.

As kindergartner Selena Rivera crossed the stage to receive her diploma and a performing arts award, she became the seventh in her family to complete the tribal preschool program.

The first was her sister, Tanya Rivera who is now 15.

“Attending this school made me learn more about my culture,” said Tanya. “It also made me more open and willing to talk to people in the community.”

Six-year-old Selena, who wants to be a teacher when she grows up, said her favorite part of kindergarten was anything to do with math. Their parents said they feel their six daughters and one son built a very strong educational foundation with the help of the preschool program they all entered at the age of two.

“I think it helped they got more one-on-one attention here – they seemed more advanced in their learning when they got to first grade,” dad Louie Rivera said.

Mom Tanya Briones-Rivera said Selena is looking forward to first grade at Estudillo Elementary be-

cause she can’t wait to ride a school bus.

The preschool added a kindergarten class in the 2014/2015 school year when it moved into its new school building which is when their son, Manuel Rivera, graduated.

The children were reminded that the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians has created many job opportunities for them to aspire to after they complete the rest of their education.

They no longer have to go out into the world to find success – they can make a difference in their own community.

Before being released to celebrate the adventure that awaits them, each graduate received a diploma, a customized award and their chosen career path was divulged.

The Kindergarten Class of 2019 is: Alawish Arviso (best all-around student, race car driver), Paa’ayat Arviso (super math, build and own a McDonalds), Aria Basquez (math, teacher), Gabriel Bentancourt (technology, zookeeper), Gilbert Bentancourt (engineering, dirt bike rider), Reuben Briones (STEM, car designer), Nayeli Brittian (homework, Tar-

Pre-kindergarten students had some strong ideas of what they want to do in the future as well.

From doctors and teachers to police officers and an astronaut, the young children were all smiles as they completed the next step in their educational journey.

Class of 2019 students promoted to kindergarten are: Kihuut-Tuukut Adame, Alison Arrietta, Anastacio Basquez, Julian Briones, Nola Briones, Muukumikat Gonzalez, Sukmal Herrera, Rihanna Kashersky, Levi Kitchen, Kyle Kolb, Alize Lara, Nattane Lopez, Marilyn Mendoza, Jayden Miranda, Kainoa Nunez, Takoda Nunez, Isaac Peralta, Mac Pineda, Jake Ramirez, Chélésh Resvaloso, Zyanya Reyes, Yawaywish Russell, Alylah Salgado, Hezekiah Smith, Mée’qa$ Soto, Tulóvat Témanxwanvish, Kali Valenzuela, Atreyu Valenzuella, Tuupangawish Powkimawish Valenzuella, Ash-wut Vega and Kuláawut Vega.

HEMET VALLEY CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Taming the Tiger Within SJHS | Contributed

A

few days ago I traveled to Sacramento by airplane for a conference and came home the same day. The flight on the way home was completely booked. The passengers were stuffed into the metal tube of a cabin like sardines. Departure was delayed for 40 minutes while we waited for the ground crew to load baggage into the cargo bay.

Since the plane’s engines were off, the air conditioning could not work. The temperature outside was in the 90’s and the temperature in the cabin started to rise dramatically. The air was stale and hot and I noticed my mood was also rising in irritability. Besides, it was the end of a long, hectic day and I was very tired.

I had just talked to my congregation the previous Sunday about managing anger and remembered that hot temperatures and fatigue can cause a person to experience angry thoughts.

I became an illustration of my own point.

Anger itself is neither right nor wrong. We have both an “emotional brain and a “think brain.” The emotional brain receives information before the thinking brain. It can overrule the thinking brain by flooding it with hormones, which lead to a “fight” or

“flight” response. The emotional brain judges situations in broad terms: good vs. bad, or safe vs. dangerous. That’s why you often react with anger before you completely realize what’s happening. The Bible says, “Be angry and do not sin” (Ephesians 4:26). It recognizes that anger is neutral but what we do with our angry feelings leads to right or wrong behavior. Even Jesus Christ became angry.

He met a man with a withered hand in a synagogue.

The religious leaders were ready to accuse Jesus of doing wrong if he healed the man on the Sabbath. The Scriptures record that Jesus “looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart” (Mark 5:6).

Anger can energize us to correct injustice or perform acts of kindness. However, anger can also push us into behavior based on hatred, resentment, and bitterness.

Unfortunately we often succumb to the latter. Who has not experienced rudeness from others or even the results of road rage.

Unchecked, at its extreme, anger can lead to violence and abuse of children and adults. James advises us to “…be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of

God” (James 1:19-20).

In the book of Genesis, the brothers Cain and Abel presented offerings to God. The Lord accepted Abel’s offering, but rejected Cain’s. The Bible states, “So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.

Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it” (Genesis 4:5b-7). Anger is like a crouching tiger, ready to attack its prey. Yet it’s possible to tame that tiger within, to master anger.

After Scripture admonishes us to “be angry and do not sin,” it goes on to say, “Do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil” (Ephesians 4:25-27).

We need to resolve anger quickly, especially when it involves other people.

My suggestion: stay cool, get plenty of rest, and let God take charge of your thoughts and attitudes.

If you would like to hear and experience some practical ways to manage anger, please join us at Hemet Valley Christian Church on Friday, June 21, at 10:00 a.m. for a two-hour workshop on “Taming the Tiger Within.”

Cheryle was an art major in college and specialized in sculpture. She also was interested in ancient history, archeology, culture and had traveled the world. When living in the Pasadena area, she owned two antique stores which specialized in European furniture. Frequent trips to Europe allowed her to buy pieces to stock her stores.

After moving to Hemet, she went on frequent camping and hiking trips to the Sierras with her family. She also went on many classic car events as a member of Packards International. An avid reader, there was always a book nearby wherever she would go.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? ANDREW KOTYUK | CONTRIBUTED

O

ne day its fine the next it’s black; So if you want me off your back; Well, come on and let me know, should I stay or should I go…

The Clash, one of the original punk rock bands from the 1970’s whose verses are ringing through my mind. When I think of the UK and BREXIT or the Fed and interest rates, this catchy verse “Should I Stay or Should I Go” is so fitting. Just the name “the Clash” reverberates the tailwinds and headwinds the financial markets and economies are in right now.

On Friday, tomorrow, the Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve will decide and announce whether they should lower interest rates. The Federal Reserve runs the Central Bank and sets policy decisions to lower or raise interest rates in the U.S. Use of interest rates to slow down inflation during times an economy expands too fast and inversely, in the face of slowing economy or recession, lowering interest rates stimulates the market. After raising rates in December, the Reserve has been under increasing pressure

to lower interest rates. The Central Bank has gone from “a long way to neutral” to, “act as appropriate to sustain the expansion.”

So, should they stay or should they go and lower rates?

Right now, the market only has less than a 30% chance the Fed will lower rates in June, however, the July probability is at a firm 85%. With the G-20 summit coming the end of the month and the Reserve not yet willing to admit the December rate hike was a mistake, are among the top reasons why they will stay. The data though is pointing strongly that their goals of inflation and employment of prime-aged workers are nowhere near being accomplished. Rates being raised too high or too quickly has a negative impact resulting in a slowing of an economy. It appears this is the story that the data points the Fed’s follow are painting.

Okay, what does all of this economics lingo mean to an investor and their money. It’s simple.

You see what your money market pays your idle cash in checking, savings, or brokerage account is in direct correlation to what the Fed’s do with interest rates. Or on-line and in the bank, you will see banners promoting what the certificate of deposit (CD) rates

are. They always have a decimal out to a hundredth. When the Reserve lowers rates those signs go down to only paying you the hundredths and no numbers in front of the decimal. Rates going up start to show pretty good numbers in front of that little dot.

This is where you need to become familiar with fixed income and for what term to buy a bond or CD for, longer or shorter.

Again, think about it. It is the opposite of how you would want to borrow money. How would you match up how long to lend money based on how well it paid you? If the Central Bank starts to lower interest rates y o u will no longer b e able to lend at the higher interest rate you were just able to last time you invested.

When rates start to drop a

portfolio should move out of short-term interest rate positions and into longer term positions to lock in the higher rates. How long is determined by your need of liquidity and the risk and return that’s right for you.

Right now, economists and analysts have forecasted and the market has priced in a rate drop by 0.50%. Consider maturing CD bonds, fixed income mutual funds or ETF into at least a little longer-term option. This will stay any downside in interest rates a n d keep yo u r in-

come from going. Be ok with yourself if they stay or go. Enjoy the Clash and remember black is better than red when it comes to portfolio performance numbers.

SJ City Council passes cannabis ordinance by unanimous vote

The City Council unanimously endorses cannabis cultivation and sales and breezes through next year’s budget RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR

WRITER

M

ore than a year ago the City of San Jacinto took on the task of growth and sales of cannabis. In the first instance it looked to be a done deal, but wait a minute., The issue became “how much and how many.” Thereby was a snag with as many entanglements as a barrel of eels. Even though, when the states voters by quite a majority passed proposition 64 to legalize pot for recreational purposes, it stipulated for ADULTS OVER 21. Suddenly it became an issue involving children. A hue and cry quickly arose among certain city council members and staff that our kids would quickly turn into pot heads.

Truth to be, where cannabis has been legalized across the country it has had little or no effect on anyone under 21. The rules have been strict: Sell to a minor and lose your license.

In order to iron out any snags an ad hoc committee was formed that included Councilman Andrew Kotyuk and Councilwoman Crystal Ruiz. Councilman Kotyuk says, “We added a few items for the process and our last meeting became the second reading which as you

know was approved by majority vote.”

Continuing Kotyuk further explained to your reporter how an ordinance gains approval. “Whenever a city council changes an ordinance it takes two readings and two approvals, If you don’t do the first one you

can’t do the second one. We had the first one at the first meeting and then we set up the ad hoc

committee and came back for the second reading and it was approved. Tonight we had the second reading and it was approved on the consent calendar and voted final approval.”

I think one might call that acceptable Greek.

No one who invests thousands of dollars into the growth and sales of cannabis is anxious to jeopardize his or her investment with rewards that are more than just lucrative, which brings us back to the issue.

In a meeting two weeks ago the council accepted assurances and changes in the ordinance that satisfied a majority by a 3-2 vote. Councilmen Alonso Ledezma and Joel Lopez voted against approval. Councilman Ledezma was so angry that it

OPINION

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The Game Show

Dear Hemet / San Jacinto Chronicle Staff,

What would happen if Alex Trebek played Jeopardy?

Congratulations on a terrific first run of our new paper! Keep up the great work and please know that we are believing for your success in the coming years!

BOB FRANKEN | COLUMNIST

Sincerely, Susan Beckett Dwelling Place City Church

Let’s play “Jeopardy,” where the answers are questions. If Alex Trebek were to ask contestants to specify “A glaring contrast between Queen Eliza- beth II and President Donald Trump,” the correct response would be “What are class and crass?” Of course, there are other differenc- es between the two.

The player says, “I’ll take ‘Liz and Don’ for $400!”

Alex would read, “The one who served in the military.”

The winning answer-question would be “Who is the Queen of England?” Certainly it’s not the president of the United States.

As we all know, Trump’s rich daddy got a podiatrist to write up a diagnosis of bone spurs for his son, real or imag- ined, which meant that he got to avoid the draft. The queen, then princess, who had a rich daddy herself, begged and pleaded until he allowed her to enlist in England’s uniformed Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II. She served as a mechanic and truck driver.

We’ll never know if that thought crossed her royal mind as she sat beside the president during ceremonies marking the 75th anniversary of D-Day. He certainly was on his best behavior and did nothing that would have turned the solemn commemora- tion from D-Day into T-Day. In fact, he was relatively subdued during

a l i f o r n i a’s liberal Legislature wants to give poor people a lot more money in their state tax refunds each year, including an extra $1,000 for people who earn less than $30,000 a year and have at least one child under 6.

But to do it, they’ll have to agree — at least partially — with Republican President Donald Trump.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom’s spending plan would triple how much the state spends on its earned income tax credit to $1.2 billion, making about 1 million more households eligible to get it. To pay for it, California would have to adopt some of Trump’s 2017 tax overhaul that was despised by Democrats, especially in California, because it capped the amount of state and local tax deductions in a move they say disproportionately hit high-income, high-taxed states.

State lawmakers last

his entire visit to London — a state visit complete with all the pomp and ceremony that the Brits do better than anyone.

Trump, as we well know, loves pomp and ceremony.

Now that he’s witnessed the spectacle that greeted him in London, do not be at all surprised if Commander in Chief Trump returns to the U.S. and insists on the creation of an elite unit, whose uniforms include the big bearskin hats that the Coldstream Guards wear. Oh sure, there were demonstrations too, complete with that fat-baby balloon, but he didn’t seem to notice.

He also didn’t seem to notice those subtle digs from Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Theresa May. Addressing Trump at her state ban- quet in Buckingham Palace, the queen, in her oh-so-proper way, cited the two nations’ postwar co-

operation in cre- ating “an assembly of international institutions.”

Since President Trump has trashed those very same institu- tions, like NATO, put that down as a sneer on the usual royal stiff upper lip.

Meanwhile, outgoing Prime Minister May gave the American leader Winston Churchill’s own draft of the 1941 Atlantic Charter.

That document years later became an underlying argument for the United Nations, another body that Donald Trump regularly dispar- ages.

So that was more snark — deft- ly administered, of course. It’s likely that it was so deft that POTUS didn’t even notice, but his political enemies back home could take some lessons in

week sent a $214.8 billion operating budget to Newsom’s desk that included the expansion of the state’s earned income tax credit.

But they have yet to adopt the tax changes to pay for it, leaving a hole in the budget and prompting intense negotiation.

The state Senate could approve the proposal on Monday. But there is trouble in the Assembly, whose members are up for reelection every two years in a state where Trump remains unpopular.

“You have a federal tax law that was passed with the intention, in our opinion, to harm California. They don’t like who we are, they don’t like our politics, they don’t like what we represent,” said Assemblyman Ian Calderon, a Democrat from Whittier and the Assembly Majority Leader. “It’s been difficult for us to kind of get to a position where we are comfortable with conforming to a law that really, in its conception, was meant to harm us as a state.”

Newsom’s plan would not adopt all of the federal government’s changes. Instead, it would focus on the ones that mostly affect business income. Some changes would lower taxes and others would increase them.

Taken together, the changes in the governor’s plan would generate an additional $1.8 billion for the state, according to the California Department of Finance.

“The Trump administration got rid of these loopholes at the federal level to be able to provide a deeper tax cut to corporate America,” said Mike Herald, director of policy advocacy for the Western Center on Law and Poverty. “We’re flipping that on its

nuanced put-downs from those two.

Perhaps it’s their British accent. Whatever the national style, both countries are flirting with economic disaster. The U.K. has Brexit, nego- tiations over the bitterly contested divorce from the European Union, which is the manifestation of a harsh swing to the right.

The U.S. has the prospect of tariffs, used as a weapon that does great harm to both the target nation and the one pulling the trigger.

Back to our game show: If Alex Tre- bek’s clue is “It’s the future of both the U.S. and U.K.,” the correct question is “What is in serious jeopardy?” Bob Franken is an Emmy Award-winning reporter who covered Washing- ton for more than 20 years with CNN.

head. Instead, we’re going to use the same money ... to help people who need it the most. I think most of the progressive liberal members of the Legislature are completely comfortable with that.”

Leaders who support the change include Sen. Toni Atkins, a San Diego Democrat who is the Senate’s top leader. Atkins said Thursday the tax changes are “really important” and that “my colleagues want to see this done.”

“Sometimes taking the political perspective is not practical for what you need to do on the ground,” she said. “When someone tells me this can support small businesses in the state of California, you know, I’m all for it.”

Things are less certain in the Assembly, where Calderon said lawmakers rejected the Newsom administration’s presentation of the tax changes as an “easy vote.”

Newsom’s proposal included eliminating some fringe benefit deductions for businesses, including things like entertainment, food and transportation expenses. In May, Newsom told reporters the change would mean lawmakers could no longer write off their courtside seats at Sacramento Kings games.

But Calderon said Assembly members are concerned eliminating the deduction would hurt small businesses that use it.

“There is zero trust in just conforming blindly to anything in their proposal without thoroughly understanding what exactly we know we’re signing onto,” he said.

IMMIGRATION - WASHINGTON

Navy SEAL bragged Trump threatens about killing captive in Iraq to deport millions JULIE WATSON and BRIAN MELLEY | AP

A

decorated Navy SEAL stabbed to death a wounded and captive teenage Islamic State fighter in Iraq and then bragged about it, a military prosecutor told jurors Tuesday during opening statements in a politically charged court-martial.

Lt. Brian John projected photos of the dead prisoner in the military courtroom, along with a text message Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher sent to friends with the image.

“Good story behind this,” Gallagher wrote.

“Got him with my hunting knife.”

The defense told the jury that Gallagher treated the militant’s wounds and didn’t kill him.

Attorney Tim Parlatore, who has claimed the text was an attempt at dark humor, said there’s no body, autopsy or forensic evidence to show a killing happened. He says the case was built on lies by junior SEALs who hated Gallagher because he was tough.

“This case is not about murder,” Parlatore said.

“It’s about mutiny. He didn’t murder or attempt to murder anyone.”

Gallagher, whose case has drawn President Donald Trump’s attention, faces seven counts that include premeditated murder and attempted murder.

He’s also accused of shooting two civilians — an elderly man and a schoolage girl — from sniper

perches in Iraq in 2017. He has pleaded not guilty and could face a life sentence.

The trial, which is expected to last up to three weeks, is exposing fractures in the secrecy that typically shrouds the elite special forces as fellow troops testify against Gallagher, who had served eight tours of duty and earned two Bronze Stars for valor.

Lt. Thomas MacNeil, who has roomed with Gallagher, testified that their SEAL team provided support to Iraqi forces clearing an area outside Mosul when he heard a radio transmission on May 3, 2017, that an airstrike had wounded an Islamic State fighter.

“I heard Chief Gallagher announce, ‘Lay off, he’s mine,’” MacNeil said.

Gallagher initially began treating the teen militant’s wounds, which was caught on video the jury will see, prosecutors said.

The question is what happened after the footage stopped.

John said the wounded prisoner, described as a curly-haired adolescent, was in stable condition after treatment.

After another SEAL left his side, Gallagher pulled a knife from his medical bag and repeatedly stabbed the boy in the neck, John said. Another SEAL saw the assault and said blood was pouring out of the teen.

Parlatore said the militant died of his injuries from the airstrike and noted that Iraqi forces had been with him for two hours before Gallagher became the first to treat him.

He also said no blood was found on the knife.

After the boy died, Gallagher had his re-enlistment ceremony conducted with the body and posed with fellow troops for photos.

In one photo shown to the jury, Gallagher is holding the detainee by the hair with one hand and his knife in the other.

MacNeil, who posed with Gallagher and other platoon members in front of the body, testified that the photos were inappropriate because he was taught to not disgrace casualties on the battlefield.

During cross-examination, MacNeil acknowledged their platoon did not strictly follow rules. He acknowledged drinking beer with troops and that platoon members had built a makeshift bar on the roof of their safehouse in Iraq.

He also said he had a copy of a music video made after the deployment with the platoon’s photos and videos that included images of dead bodies.

The defense does not dispute that Gallagher posed with the corpse.

“Was the photo in poor taste? Probably,” Parlatore told jurors in his opening statement. “Was the photo evidence of murder? No.” The jury is composed of five enlisted men, including a Navy SEAL and four Marines, plus a Navy commander and a Marine chief warrant officer. Most of the jurors have served in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Gallagher’s defense has been championed by his family and some congressional Republicans who have claimed that he’s a hero getting railroaded.

Trump intervened to get Gallagher removed from the brig as he awaited trial and is said to be considering a pardon for him.

Gallagher’s accusers are cowards who wanted to derail his nomination for a Silver Star for valor and a promotion to teach urban warfare, Parlatore said.

MacNeil said Gallagher and Lt. Jacob Portier ordered other sailors to delete photos of the militant.

Portier faces a separate trial on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer for holding Gallagher’s re-enlistment ceremony with the body.

After returning to San Diego from their deployment, MacNeil said he got a text to stay after work one day for a meeting in the parking lot, where he encountered Portier and Gallagher.

He said Gallagher rushed at him, grabbed his face and said, “You take me down, I’ll take all you down.”

Three more SEALs are expected to take the stand Wednesday.

NEW YORK

AP Explains: Behind Libra, Facebook’s new digital currency ANICK JESDANUN | AP

F

acebook is unveiling a digital currency called Libra as the company seeks to make its ads more valuable by enabling smoother transactions and payments online, particularly among those without credit cards or bank accounts.

Libra will use the same security and record-keeping principles as Bitcoin, the most popular digital currency system today. But unlike Bitcoin, Libra is backed by several traditional financial companies, including PayPal, Visa and Mastercard, and will base its value on multiple real-world currencies such as the U.S. dollar and the euro. Libra also faces additional scrutiny over privacy, given Facebook’s poor record on the matter.

Here’s a look at Libra and other cryptocurrencies.

WHAT’S A CRYPTOCURRENCY ANYWAY? It’s a form of digital cash that uses encryption technology to make it secure. Cryptocurrencies exist not as physical bills or coins but rather as lines of digitally signed computer code. Records are typically kept on ledgers known as blockchain.

People can store their cryptocurrency stashes in virtual wallets that resemble online bank accounts.

Facebook is developing a wallet app for Libra; others will be able to as well.

As with other cryptocurrencies, people will be able to buy and sell libras on exchanges for traditional currencies. It’s not clear what fees, if any, consumers will have to pay for such transfers, although Facebook says they should be low.

WHY NOT USE BITCOIN? Although Bitcoin has gotten a lot of attention, it isn’t widely used.

For one thing, its value fluctuates wildly, meaning that $100 in bitcoins today might be worth $300 a month from now — or $2.50. Only a handful of merchants accept bit-

coins as payments.

Facebook is hoping to keep the libra’s value stable by tying it closely to established currencies. Unlike most other cryptocurrencies, the Libra will be backed by real-world bank deposits and government securities in a number of leading currencies.

Facebook is also recruiting partners ahead of time. Lyft, Uber and Spotify already have joined the Libra group. They will likely accept libras when the system launches.

They’ll also help fund, build and govern the system. That’ll make Libra less of a free-for-all than Bitcoin. Facebook says Libra will embrace regulation, but it isn’t providing many details on how.

With most cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, anyone can lend computing power to verify transactions and to prevent anyone spending the same digital coin twice. With Libra, the verifications will initially be managed by its founding companies, such as Facebook and PayPal. Facebook believes the closed approach will mean better security.

ARE CRYPTOCURRENCIES ANONYMOUS? Although it’s possible to trace bitcoins and some other cryptocurrencies as they are spent, owners of accounts behind the transactions aren’t necessarily known. That makes such currencies a favorite among certain cyber-

criminals. But it is sometimes possible to tie cryptocurrency transactions to a real person who has cashed out digital coinage into a traditional currency.

And if someone spends libras while logged onto Facebook, it’s theoretically possible Facebook could tie it back to a real person.

Facebook says it won’t use Libra data to target ads, but may share data “to keep people safe, comply with the law, and provide basic functionality.” Facebook is creating a subsidiary, Calibra, to try to keep the operations separate.

GETTING STARTED Libra is scheduled to launch publicly in the first half of next year.

Whether consumers will embrace it is another matter. Discounts potentially offered by Uber and other partners might be enough to get people to at least try the system. But many people find it easy enough to pay for goods and services online with credit and debit cards.

There could be greater appeal among people who don’t have bank accounts. Libra could open up e-commerce to them.

Though Libra could be a way for Facebook to drive spending when people interact with Facebook ads, the company says the currency will be independent and won’t require a Facebook account to use.

beginning next week COLLEEN LONG, JILL COLVIN and ELLIOT SPAGAT | AP

P

resident Donald Trump could have a tough time making good on his threat to deport millions of people living in the U.S. illegally. But maybe that wasn’t his point.

Trump’s late-night messages promised that starting next week his administration “will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they can.”

That was a pronouncement likely to excite his political base just as he was formally announcing his reelection bid Tuesday night. It also scared immigrants in the U.S. illegally — and could deter others from coming.

But it came at a cost.

Trump blatantly exposed an upcoming enforcement operation, potentially jeopardizing the kind of sensitive effort that takes months to plan and relies on secrecy. The president’s tweets put new, fresh demands on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency in charge of removals, which is already overwhelmed, lacking staff, funding and detention space for its current work. And any massive roundup that includes deportation of families would be sure to spark outrage.

The tweets suggested the start of Trump’s reelection campaign is likely to have much in common with his 2016 announcement, when he accused Mexico of sending rapists to the United States and pledged to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. The rhetoric was widely denounced, yet the tough anti-immigration message struck a nerve with many Americans and ultimately helped carry Trump to victory.

But his tough talk hasn’t led to a drop in border crossings since he took office. The flow of Central American migrants has risen dramatically during his administration. He recently dropped a threat to slap tariffs on Mexico after the country agreed to step up immigration enforcement efforts.

The “millions” in his tweets referred to the more than 1 million people in the United States with final deportation orders, meaning a judge has decided they be deported, according to an administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to explain the president’s tweets.

Pew Research Center has estimated there are about 10.5 million people in the U.S. illegally, with long-term residents outnumbering recent arrivals. The record for deportations over a full year is 419,384 in 2012, under the Obama administration.

Some in Trump’s administration believe that decisive shows of force — like mass arrests — serve as deterrents, sending a message to those considering making the journey to the U.S. that it’s not worth coming.

The new acting direc-

tor of ICE, Mark Morgan, recently signaled a willingness to deport families during enforcement sweeps, though past Trump immigration officials hesitated over concerns about logistics and the public reaction.

U.S. officials with knowledge of the preparations say the operation wasn’t imminent; it was to begin in the coming weeks and be nationwide. But ICE officials were not aware the president would make public sensitive law enforcement plans, and it’s unclear whether the operation now will go off as planned.

Enforcement sweeps require months of planning. Officers work from recent addresses and don’t have search warrants. Immigrants are not required to open their doors, and increasingly they don’t. Officers generally capture about 30% to 40% of targets.

Plus, ICE needs travel paperwork from a home country to deport someone, so immigrants often end up detained at least temporarily waiting for a deportation flight.

The adult population of detainees was 53,141 as of June 8, though the agency is only budgeted for 45,000. There were 1,662 in family detention, also at capacity, and one of the family detention centers is currently housing single adults.

Also, publicizing law enforcement operations can jeopardize officer safety and tip off potential deportees.

When Oakland, California, Mayor Libby Schaaf learned of an operation in Northern California and warned the immigrant community, Trump railed against the disclosure. He suggested prosecuting her for obstruction of justice. And the head of ICE at the time, Thomas Homan , said his agency could have arrested more people had she not warned them, calling it an “irresponsible decision.”

Lawmakers from both parties raised concerns about Trump’s plan. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said his threat of a “mass deportation dragnet is an act of utter malice and bigotry, designed solely to inject fear in our communities.”

Republican Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri, part of the GOP leadership, said, “I think our energy is better exerted, one, taking care of people at the border who need to be taken care of and, two, looking at securing the border as our principal obligation.”

Immigrant advocacy groups across the country are already getting terrified phone calls from people worried about raids.

“People are always on edge,” said Cesar Espinosa, executive director of the Houston advocacy group FIEL. “This obviously reinforces that fear and in a lot of cases it paralyzes people when

CITY COUNCIL from B1

passed muster he requested that every vote he had voiced in favor be withdrawn which the City Attorney explained was impossible without a new ordinance.

When the majority vote in favor was passed he slammed down a book and stormed out of the meeting. This week’s council meeting was without dissent.

Councilman Ledezma was absent by accepted excuse. The vote to approve was 4-0. This week Councilman Lopez voted with the majority.

There was always some concern as to how many sites would be allowed. Up until this last vote it was to be 8 dispensaries and 8 sites for growth as I came to understand it, and the council can correct me if I misunderstood. With the newly completed ordinance there will be no cap. But not to get over-excited. That is way up the road because at the moment there is not much activity.

There are 3900 acres of land available for cultivation but due to infrastructure, utilities, buildings, etc., the actual acres for use in growth may be less than half of the acreage.

The other item on the agenda was the coming year’s budget and came with a number of charts and explanations.

However because the 2018-19 budget had a $1.4 million surplus, Kotyuk motioned to increase contingency reserve from 15% to 20% and after a second and no further discussion the budget passed 4-0.

All in all folks, the folks in San Jacinto Town had a merry, merry night. Just sayin. rustystrait@gmail.com

TAXES from B2

State law required lawmakers to approve an operating budget by midnight on June 15 or else lose their pay. The operating budget divvies up $214.8 billion in state and federal tax dollars. But lawmakers are still working out key details about how to spend that money in more than two dozen “trailer bills.” The bills allow budget negotiations to continue past the deadline.

Not approving the tax changes could cause some budget problems. H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the Newsom administration’s Department of Finance, compared the state budget to a building with the tax changes as a crucial part of the architecture. Without it, there would be no funding for the tax credit and lawmakers would have to recalculate the funding formula for public schools.

“If you take out a couple of the load-bearing beams, then you’ve got problems,” Palmer said.

But Calderon said if lawmakers ultimately did not adopt the changes, the tax credit program would continue to exist. However, it would not be expanded to include more money and cover an additional 1 million households.

DEPORTATION from B3

they can’t continue to live their daily lives.”

Espinosa and other immigrant advocates encourage families to have an emergency preparedness plan, including a contact to care for children if their parents are arrested and savings to pay for a bond or utility bills. The American Civil Liberties Union was publicizing its “know your rights” campaign again Tuesday.

Between 2009 and 2012, the Obama administration deported 1.6 million immigrants. About 2 million were deported during the eight years of the George W. Bush administration.

An effort to rapidly deport more than a million people is “a fantasy” said John Sandweg, a former ICE head under Obama.

“ICE is always working at 100 percent of its capacity. The president wants to create this illusion that he’s let go of the reins that other administrations were holding but that’s just not true.”

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people, mostly Central American families, are crossing the border monthly, highs not seen for more than a decade. There are holdups in every agency that manages immigration, including a backlog of more than 700,000 immigration cases.

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan has asked for $4.5 billion in supplemental aid to help agencies cope.

The hot summer weather usually deters some from coming. A senior Mexican official said Monday that, three weeks ago, about 4,200 migrants were arriving at the U.S. border daily. Now that number has dropped to about 2,600. And Guatemalan officials are discussing immigration changes with Mexico.

ICE did not comment on Trump’s tweets, but said in a statement it “will continue to conduct interior enforcement without exemption for those who are in violation of federal immigration law.”

Associated Press writers Luis Alonso Lugo and Lisa Mascaro in Washington and Nomaan Merchant in Houston contributed to this report.

The Mighty Cash Cats made us remember Johnny Cash MEANWHILE...

T

he latest concert in the Friday Nite Live Series took the stage on Friday June 14th. The Mighty Cash Cats performed their nostalgic Tribute to Johnny Cash. This was the group’s first time playing Hemet’s downtown art center, discovering for themselves what other bands have been saying for years... little old Hemet has the best concert venue in Southern California.

For this show, the crowd was small, but enthusiastic, clapping and cheering every classic hit. Many songs drew dancers to the foot of the stage, rocking to that iconic Johnny Cash beat. Michael J. Smith as Johnny Cash was im-

pressive, but Leticia Blumette as June Carter Cash stole the show with a voice that gripped the room with emotion.

Afterward, the audience proclaimed the show another hit performance and the band told the fans that Hemet is now their favorite place to play.

Later this month, Season Two of the Tribute Mania Concert Series continues with tributes to Santana (6/22), Led Zeppelin (7/6), Aerosmith (7/20), REO Speedwagon (8/3), and Tom Petty (8/17).

Tickets for Tribute Mania and Friday Nite Live shows are $22 presale / $25 day of show. Showtime is 7:00 pm, with doors open at 6:15 pm. Information on all theatre events is available at www.

HistoricHemetTheatre.com or by calling the ticket office, (951) 658-5950.

ur Ramona Bowl will be hosting many exciting events in the upcoming month. Their Summer Concert Series will feature Country Nation, Desert Soul, Como La Flor and Michael Austin.

These artists and groups offer a great mixture of genres and will be at the Ramona Bowl on dates between June and July. It would be a fun and entertaining way to spend the summer with friends and family, while also admiring the fine art of music.

Country Nation offers high-energy performances that always get the crowd involved with the music. They pay tribute to well-known country artists such as Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, The Band Perry, Brad Paisley, Sara Evans.

Additionally, they honor the classic names in country music, including: Faith Hill, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Randy Travis and more.

Be sure to catch them live at the Ramona Bowl on June 27th at 8:00 PM. Desert Soul is welcomed to town on July 11th at 8:00 PM. They will be performing their highly anticipated ‘Rock Your World Soul’ combine.

A week later, on July 18th at 8:00 PM, the Como La Flor Band will be performing their tribute to Selena. The singer, Nira Perez Ruiz, who plays Selena, is very well-acclaimed.

On the band’s website, she is described, “Nira is

an accomplished singer in the L.A. area and has been singing and presenting a Selena tribute for some time now, as a Selena tribute artist, she has appeared on the famous show “Sabado Gigante” and just recently appears in Ozomatli’s music video in their rendition of Selena’s song “Como La Flor”.

Nira brings youth, cheerfulness and is armed with great vocal chops with r&b and soulful influences, mixing it up with the Tejano style to create the Selena style we all want to hear…”.

The last of the summer series, and certainly not least, is Michael Austin. A U.S. Armed Forces Veteran and runner-up of NBC’s “The Voice” in 2014, his talents and credits are astounding and honorable.

He frequently performs for the U.S. Armed Forces and also performs

the National Anthem at various shows, events and festivals.

Make sure to see Austin live on July 25th, as he is a very dynamic country artist.

This summer, our Ramona Bowl has an amazing lineup for us, filled with talent, entertainment and unforgettable experiences. They are offering a single price to attend all four concerts, as compared to purchasing all the tickets separately, so be sure not to wait too long if you are interested!

If you, a family member or friend love country, soul or Tejano music, this is a perfect opportunity to make a memorable summer night at our Ramona Bowl.

Keep tires road-worthy for safer driving METRO | CONTRIBUTED

T

he National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns that an average of 200 people die each year in tire-related crashes. In 2016, 733 people across the United States lost their lives in accidents in which tire malfunction was a contributing factor. Roughly 70 percent of single vehicle accidents are tire-related. Taking tire maintenance seriously can greatly reduce the chances of blowouts, accidents and fatalities.

MAINTAIN THE RIGHT PRESSURE Caring for tires not only improves safety, but also it extends the life of the tires, saving drivers money as a result. Michelin Tires says that simply checking the tires’ inflation pressure can make a significant difference in how long tires last. For example, a tire that is consistently 20 percent under-inflated may see its life expectancy reduced by 20 percent.

Tires that are not properly inflated also can have a high rolling resistance. In such instances, the engine must expend more effort to move the vehicle thus eating up fuel.

Pressure should be checked at ambient temperature before driving, states AAA. The recommended inflation pressure can be found in the driver’s manual or on the tire.

CHECK TIRE TREAD Tires rely on good tread depth to

maintain traction and shed water during wet conditions. AAA recommends checking tread with a visual inspection and with the quarter test. Insert a quarter into a tread groove with the top of Washington’s head facing down. If the top of his head is not visible, the tires have at least 4/32” of tread and are acceptable for continued use.

If the top of Washington’s head shows, tires need to be replaced.

LEARN ABOUT TIRE AGING Check the owner’s manual for specific recommendations concerning replacing the spare tire for the vehicle.

Some manufacturers state after six years, while others say 10 years is the maximum service life for tires. While most tire centers will use newly manufactured tires when replacing tires, you can double check the age of any tire by looking at the sidewall for the tire identification number (TIN), offers NHTSA. The last four digits are the week and year of manufacture.

KEEP UP ON MAINTENANCE Wheel alignment, tire rotation and tire balancing are all key to minimizing wear and extending the life and safety of tires. Each vehicle has specific recommendations, and drivers should consult their manuals to find those specifics.

Tire function is an important part of maintaining vehicle safety and performance.

MCPHERSON’S COLUMN

It’s All About The Blues MATT MCPHERSON | CONTRIBUTED Today is the Summer Solstice, and we’re about halfway through 2019.

Spaces are becoming more colorful and expect that trend to continue through 2020. Recently the color forecaster and paint firm PPG released their predictions of hues for 2020. If PPG is accurate, you can count on seeing a lot of blue this coming year. Chinese porcelain was announced last week as PPG’s 2020 color of the year.

PPG explained Chinese porcelain is a combination of soft navy tones mixed with cobalt. The color is intended to install restful sleep, and calmness.

Throughout residential and hospitality design, blues have been consistently gaining in popularity.

According to Dee Schlotter, the senior color manager at PPG “Consumers are tiring of stark grays and are looking to infuse colors that delight the senses.

Blue is the easiest possible entry point from the world of neutrals to the world of color.”

Blue is a versatile color as it can be used to accent or highlight an area,

yet can also serve as a neutral shade.

Set against crown molding and white sheets, the color has a sharp contrast.

For a more modern look try pairing blue with metallic finishes or layered against velvet or tufted furniture. For an attention getting look try pairing a blue color against dusty sand tones or leather accents recommends Schlotter.

Velvet pillows and lush drapes with turmeric and saffron tones pair extremely well with Chinese porcelain.

Some trending color combinations suggested by PPG are Brilliant Blue, Turner’s Yellow, and Bleeding Heart for a bolder look. Raw nature and earthy hues are also popular right now with colors like brown clay and cinnamon spice set against organic, oxidized blue-greens like summer breeze and celestial blue.

Researching for this article triggered some fond memories of when I would help my family paint and stage the bedroom and living room sets at McPherson’s Furniture in downtown Hemet. Having just the right color paint to contrast the different furniture and designs led to truck loads of sold bedroom and living room sets in the

COLOR SELECTION: Blue is always a good option for an elegant and modern bedroom. | PPG Paints 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. Now this skill comes in handy when helping clients prepare and stage their homes for sale in this booming market.

In contrast to the popularity of bright blues and other colors, if my sellers want to paint I usually suggest white.

If you plan on living in the home for a while and want to interior decorate, sure use some bright colors. On the

other hand if you’re looking to sell your home, stay with a nice neutral color.

Color preferences vary across the spectrum with potential buyers, and that is why I sometimes recommend offering a paint allowance rather than painting the home.

Growing up Hillbilly: Chapter V- Naive and Gun Shy Rusty Strait | Contributed

M

y grandmother had four brothers, but the only one I ever had close contact with was Fred. My great uncle Fred and aunt Mary always had a 100-acre farm on Kanawha two-mile creek, a few miles east of Charleston. I spent most of my summers on their farm until my mid-teens. Their son, Euell, was a year younger than me, so we shared some great times during those summers.

Aunt Mary’s mother and father lived with them and always treated me as just another grandson.

Uncle Fred, however, was the meanest individual I ever knew and I loathed him. Like my mother’s brother, also named Fred, he delighted in playing practical jokes on me, especially after dark. Knowing my fear of the dark, he would send me down the hill to get something at the Creek and while I was looking, would make strange sounds and howl like a wolf. As you will see, he was cruel in other ways, too.

I spent most of summers at their farm until I got my first job in town in 1939. Mama and Grandma had big arguments about whether sunshine and country fresh air would teach me something about real Americans . Mama said she didn’t want me to grow up to be “a country hick.” She had great plans for my future. Grandma put her foot down again.

She said, “He ain’t gonna be nothin’ but an educated fool if he don’t know nothin’ about nature.”

That was that. Mama had no further voice in the matter. I

would be a part-time farm boy in the summer and a city-educated hillbilly in the winter.

Farm boys know how to use a firearm before they learn their ABCs. I knew very little about guns. Mama never owned a gun.

One of her boyfriends had a pistol, but she wouldn’t let him have it in the house because of me.

Euell owned a .410 gauge single-barreled shotgun. One summer he took me, a hound dog named “One Blue Eye,” and his shotgun a mile or so down the road from the house to hunt rabbits. Uncle Fred laughed at Euell’s gun. “That’s nothin’ more’n a pea shooter, boy,” he said.

I’d watched Euell’s father load up his big, double barreled, .12 gauge shotgun and blow a wildcat to smithereens when the animal attacked one of his young calves. He had the killer instinct.

I respected him, because he was Grandma’s brother. I feared Uncle Fred because he could be a very cruel man.

Euell and I came across a couple of young rabbits squatting and facing each other in the middle of a cow path. They weren’t doing anything to anybody, simply enjoying the breezy summer morning.

“Shhh,” Euell whispered.

“Watch me.” The rabbits were munching on a clump of clover ten or fifteen yards up ahead.

He stepped quietly to the side of the road, pulling me by the arm along with him. The rabbits still didn’t move. Euell lifted the gun, cradling it firmly against his right shoulder. He took steady aim. I waited, and waited and waited and just when I least expected it, the gun exploded. Startled by the sound, I fell backwards into a blackberry patch.

The ra b b i t s flopped, then hit the road life-

less. Their heads were bloodied.

Neither one of them moved.

“Wowee!” Euell said. “Didja see that, Raymond?”

I got to my feet and started picking a blackberry thorn out of my elbow. “Yeah,” I said, in total awe. “What happened? Did you shoot ‘em twice?”

My cousin’s laugh was the kind a kid enjoys when he’s done something real good and knows it. “Didn’t have to shoot twice,” he said, cranking down the gun and blowing smoke out of the barrel.

Euell reloaded the .410, and we walked up the road toward his fallen prey. He picked them up by their hind legs and examined closely. “Just look at that,” he said. “Not a mark on their bodies. Sure blew the hell out of their heads, didn’t I?” He surely had done that. “When we get back I’ll skin and gut ‘em and Maw will fry us a mess of rabbit for supper tonight.” He tied the dead animals to a hammer loop in his overalls. Country boys never wore anything but overalls. During hot weather we shed our shirts. We even went swimming in them.

“How come you killed their heads?” I asked, a little bit stupefied by the whole thing.

“Because, stupid, you don’t wanna fill ‘em up with gunshot.

If ’n you do, you can bite down on one of them suckers and break off a tooth. And that’s the plain truth.”

I thought he just got lucky.

That’s what I thought. I’d never so much as touched a gun, much less shoot one. I figured if somebody like Euell could kill a rabbit I sure as heck ought to be able to shoot a cow or somethin’. We walked on for a spell and then Euell turned and said, “Let’s go over here. I want to show you something.” He motioned to our right.

A short distance up a rise we looked down into a meadow stretching across an acre or so before the land rose up again. The place was swarming with wild geese.

“Wanna try your luck, Raymond?”

“Sure.”

Euell handed over his .410 and explained how to nestle it to my shoulder and to site slightly lower than my target. Following his instructions, I aimed (or so I thought), pulled the trigger too quickly and fell down from the recoil.

Tears of laughter rolled down his cheeks . Grasping his aching sides, he bent over double. I’d been made a fool of by my country bumpkin cousin.

I didn’t do well with guns then, but later, in the military, I became a crack shot.

I loved country life, but some parts of it I could do without. For instance, one of my chores was to milk one of the cows twice a day.

The first milking takes place at four-thirty in the morning, the second at four-thirty in the afternoon. Cows are fussy. They have to be milked at the same time every morning and every afternoon or they can be downright nasty. I’ve been kicked a number of times. Also they can swish a tail across your face with the ferocity of a hard slap.

Lord help the person who tries to milk a cow with cold hands.

As I mentioned, my uncles were both cruel men and none more so than Euell’s father. One of the meanest things he ever did involved newborn puppies.

On a farm there are always a lot of hound dogs, at least there were in West Virginia. Un-

cle Fred’s place was no different.

I recall a specific incident that caused my mother to almost end my visits there.

One of the dogs had a litter of 8 puppies. On a Saturday morning Uncle Fred said to Euell and me, “C’mon, boys, I got somethin’ to do and if you’re gonna be around here very long, Raymond, you need to learn that it ain’t always fun and play on a big farm.”

I had no idea what he had in mind, but I went along.

He got a coffee sack, stuffed the pups into it and as we left the house he picked up a heavy stick of stove wood. The three of us hiked up the hill above the cow pasture to a section covered with old stones, most of which were the size of beach balls. At a particular one we stopped and Uncle Fred sat down the bag of puppies.

Then, one by one, he took the puppies out of the sack, laid their heads down on the rock and beat their brains out with the stick of stove wood. It so traumatized me that I had nightmares for weeks. I was sick and disgusted. For the first time I was exposed to the worst kind of cruelty.

“Very well, now again!”

Gabriela Cerrillo | Staff “Whatever today’s filmmakers do, I can do better,” Kubrick said to himself in those days when he was engaged in photography, just before he began his journey to become one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Photography gave him the vision and the talent to tell stories through images, and these planes scream the true personality of this monster of cinema: Perfection.

Such as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock, Orson Wells, Federico Fellini or Roman Polanski, Kubrick captured his deepest obsessions in his films. But he went further, much further, where the level of perfection in his art was almost unbearable for those around him.

His famous phrase was: “Very well, now again.”

Something that made his stars nervous. “How can someone make you love him in a moment, and then hate him the next minute,” said actress Nicole Kidman after filming “Eyes Wide Shut.”

EARLY YEARS At the young age of 23, Kubrick began with short films such as “Day of the Fight,” but it would be “Fear and Desire” the piece that would premiere him as a filmmaker. His second film, “The Kiss of Murder” was his second film where he tells with wit and passion the story of 2 men who fight for the same woman. After “Perfect Beating,” a 1956 thriller where we see a detailed robbery perpetrated by ordinary people, Kubrick finally gives us his first great work “Paths of Glory,” and from here the spotlight began to point to him.

PATHS OF GLORY In “Paths of Glory” we see reflected one of the techniques that would define most of Kubrick’s films: lateral tracking with traveling following characters. In this film we see soldiers leave the trenches around bullets and explosions and, later this would be honored by Steven Spielberg in his movie “War Horse.”

LOLITA After “Spartacus,” Kubrick understood something. He knew how he wanted to make films, but the big producers did not let him. It was from this point that he did not allow anyone to come back between his heart and his art; and so that is how “Lolita” came. This film is a controversial adaptation of the novel of the same name written by Vladimir Nabokov that tells the story of a pedophile man in his fourth decade that relates in detail his passion for girls, and how he fell in love with his 14 year old step daughter Lolita. In those days, these type of tabu topics were very difficult to handle, and the chances of being rejected by the audience were too high for the taste of the producers.

Kubrick however knew how to make an original, clear, concise and correct plot, with a lot of argumentative details and subplots that led to the first scene of the film, which was a murder, but Hollywood again censored the filmmaker.

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY Despite having appeared almost always on the list of Oscar nominees, as with his satirical “Dr. Strangelove,” he was always ignored by the Hollywood academy. The only Oscar he achieved in his entire life was for “2001: A Space Odyssey” where we can appreciate how Kubrick summarizes in a split second, millions of years of evolution: the greatest time ellipsis ever seen in the history of cinema. This was also one of the most expensive projects of the capricious filmmaker, who came to spend 10 million dollars (a great excess for

the time) of an initial budget of 6 million. What could you expect from a madman who does not rest until he is surrounded by experts from NASA and build a huge rotating centrifuge to recreate the gravity environment of space?

At the end of the day the expense was worth it.

Few blockbusters achieved what this Science Fiction movie did, raising $57 million dollars only in the United States, a great success considering that this film was so indigestible for the public; there is barely 40 minutes of dialogue in a footage of much more than two hours, full of philosophical questions and musical compositions such as “The Blue Danube” and “Thus spoke Zarathustra.” It is practically one of the first examples of video art that triumphed by surprise in the moments before the psychedelic era.

A CLOCKWORK ORANGE The artistic sense of this giant of the cinema flourished in “A Clockwork Orange,” where the colors, the contrast and the unusual shots with their powerful lenses stood out. The most lucid moments with a dry and cold photograph; and the most insane ones with harmonies of colors and a certain irony in the environment. To make the shot where “Alex DeLarge” jumps from the window to end his misery, Kubrick threw a reflex camera to recreate the scene with a subjective shot; the lens was destroyed but Kubrick got what he wanted. Everyone around him knew that he always got what he wanted, such as when he bought the song rights “Singing in the Rain” for $ 10,000 after actor Malcolm McDowell decided to hum it casually at the scene of the violation in the writer’s house. In this piece we can appreciate that point where beauty and violence come together exquisitely to create a satire of evil and violence related to the most beautiful classical melodies. One of the films with the most history of censorship in the industry.

BARRY LYNDON The riskiest movie of Kubrick was probably Barry Lyndon. There are critics who considers the most risky one was his last film (Eyes Wide Shut), but for that premiere we knew who Kubrick was and from where the blows were going to arrive. Barry Lyndon is a film with an impressive script, which is not based on the dialogue or its characters, but on the place where it develops; quite uncommon for the time. The movie is slow and elegant. Baroque style, both in musical ambience and in set design. The costumes and hairdressing are unbeatable. Sets were more than adequate, and the photography worthy from the filmmaker. Kubrick’s obsession was so much to present a piece taken from the memories of the eighteenth century that ordered hundreds of candles for the final illumination of this film, something quite risky and difficult for the cameras of the 70’s. He took production and shooting so seriously that it was scary. They repeated a scene 40 times in a pigeon house, with real pigeons. Of course, they did not give the Oscar to Kubrick and friends close to the director commented that was probably the main reason why he did not make another movie in a long time.

I’m a big geek, and a Netflix binge is my passion. So this time I brought you my top 10 movies I know you will love!

THE SHINING However, it was not forever. “The Shining,” adaptation of Stephen King’s book and one of the most remembered horror films meant, the return of the monster from the nightmares of the actors. The psychological torture that the actress Shelley Duvall received from the director to perform realisticly the famous scene of “Here is Johnny!” was very intense to make her look really horrified. “My eyes were so swollen from crying for several hours that there were times when I wanted to quit,” said Duvall. But that was not all; Duvall was forced to perform the exhausting baseball bat scene 127 times. Afterwards, Duvall presented Kubrick with clumps of hair that had fallen due to the extreme stress of filming.

FULL METAL JACKET Then he adapted “Full Metal Jacket,” returning to the warlike genre but with much more agility and violence than in “Paths of Glory.” The budget of the film was an exaggeration. Many buildings and bridges flew. They even resorted to military-type explosives.

However, the war scenes are impressive, probably much more than “Saving Private Ryan.” The realism was atrocious and shocking.

EYES WIDE SHUT At the end of the 90s, Kubrick ends with his most criticized film “Eyes Wide Shut.” The film was not completely finished and the version we see is that of montage. The film suffered many censorship problems due to the ritual scene followed by a massive orgy, as well as several sex scenes. Everything is narrated ambiguously, as if everything were a dream; as if we saw episodes lost of something that did not really happen. Everything is dreamlike, metaphorical, full of cinematographic language, slow, elegant but at the same time terrifying.

NAPOLEON Kubrick worked hard during his career in the research and documentation of one of his favorite historical characters “Napoleon.” This is considered the great work never made by Stanley Kubrick. It was the great monster of his nightmares. Despite having rooms full of documents and information, the filmmaker was not satisfied. He felt that he needed more to be able to achieve this masterpiece of his life, a film that would never see the light. Kubrick inherited all this information, plans and ideas to Steven Spielberg along with a project he was working on just before his death. “A.I. Artificial Intelligence. “Although Spielberg did produce and direct the last one mentioned, he has not dared to produce Napoleon, because he feels that the only filmmaker capable of realizing it with the greatness and wit it requires is gone.

Great writer, creator and narrator, Stanley Kubrick is the only director who is not pigeonholed in one or two genres, since he has in his portfolio several genres of film. However, despite the fact that each of his films are so different amongst each other, the signature of Kubrick can be clearly perceived; when you watch a Kubrick film, you’re seeing the inside of his mind.
