espite recent safety upgrades aimed at ending fatal and major-injury traffic collisions along Gilman Springs Rd., a head-on collision claimed the lives of two people, early Sunday morning, Aug. 18. The deadly crash, which sent seven other victims to area hospitals with injuries ranging from serious to major, occurred in an unincorporated area of Moreno Valley, just north of San Jacinto, between Bridge St and Sanderson Ave/ Hwy 79.

34-year-old California Highway Patrol officer gunned down by a convicted felon during a traffic stop was remembered on August 20th, as a fun-loving, high-spirited lawman who was committed to public service and made a positive impact on many lives.

CHP Commissioner Warren Stanley said Officer Andre Maurice Moye Jr. was “taken from us in a tragic and inexcusable attack'' that has left the agency reeling.

“Andre came into work every day with a smile,'' Stanley said.

“When he walked into the office, he made everybody feel better. He loved being a CHP officer. It was his dream job. He had a strong w o r k ethic and a p a s sion for public

Despite the recent improvements, area residents have long called for the installation of concrete “K-Rails,” which would prevent future head-on collisions from happening along the deadly stretch of road.

OFFICER FALLEN from A1

service. He was an outstanding man.''

Stanley was among a dozen speakers who paid homage to Moye during a nearly two-hour public memorial service at Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, attended by hundreds of law enforcement officers from throughout the region and state, as well as several neighboring states. “Andre had a servant's heart,'' said CHP Inland Division Chief Bill Dance, who praised Moye for his “exemplary'' skills as a motorcycle officer, having made it through the agency's grueling motor training program on the first go. “Andre always had a positive attitude. He never complained, and he never hesitated to help. They say a life that touches others goes on forever. Andre certainly touched a lot of lives.''

Moye's family recalled that he worked as an electrical engineer for years before deciding to pursue a career in law enforcement, specifically the CHP, and after acceptance, he attended the seven-month academy in Sacramento, graduating in March 2017, He was assigned to the Riverside Area Office soon after. “He handed out so many speeding tickets that he worried about eating in restaurants,'' Moye's cousin, Melissa Lopez, said amid laughs. “He did not want the `special sauce.'''

His stepfather, Richard Solario, remembered Moye as a “hard-working, caring person'' who hired the elder man as an installer on contracts laying cables after an unexpected job loss. “I became his worst employee,'' Solario recalled, chuckling. “After he got into the CHP academy, it was probably the best thing for both of us.''

One of Moye's five siblings, Michael Solario, addressed the mourners.

The young man, who is pursuing a law enforcement

Friday |August 23 - 29 | 2019 career himself, lauded his older brother as a mentor who “took pride in what he did, on and off the job.'' He said the slain lawman was a constant presence in his family's lives, often going to his mother's Moreno Valley home to complete police reports. “Andre is in a much better place now. Our father in heaven is taking care of him,'' Solario said.

A family friend read a statement from Moye's wife, Sara, who wrote that he had given her ``the best years of my life'' and was ``truly the love of my life.''

Harvest Pastor Greg Laurie expressed that, just as he searched for answers when his son, Christopher, died in a crash on the Riverside (91) Freeway 11 years ago, he could only search for an understanding as to why Moye was killed. “No one can take the pain away,'' Laurie said. “Inexplicable tragedies make no sense to us. We don't decide the date of our birth or the date of our death. But we have everything to say about that dash in the middle. Andre lived that dash well.''

Moye was laid to rest in a private funeral service.

Harvest was the same location in April where final respects were paid to CHP Sgt. Steve Licon, who was Moye's colleague, and like Moye, was a motor officer. Licon was struck by a suspected drunken driver while working extra duty in Lake Elsinore. Stanley noted that Moye happened to be the officer who arrested that suspect, Michael Callahan.

Aaron Luther, 49, of Beaumont, fatally shot Moye shortly after the patrolman and a backup officer in another unit stopped the ex-con for an unspecified violation in the area of Box Springs Boulevard and Eastridge Avenue, just west of Interstate 215, about 5:30 p.m. Aug. 12, according to the Riverside Police Department, which released findings of its preliminary investigation on Friday.

“During that stop, the lone suspect produced a weapon and fired at Officer Moye, severely injuring him,'' said Officer Ryan Railsback. “The backup CHP officer ... immediately took gunfire from the suspect and returned fire. He called for assistance during the gunfight and was also struck, which caused a critical injury to one of his legs.''

Multiple CHP officers and Riverside County sheriff 's deputies converged on the scene after the distress call went out, engaging Luther, who was armed with a semiautomatic rifle, possibly assembled from a kit. The weapon had been stashed somewhere in the shooter's GMC pickup. “The exchange of gunfire between the suspect and law enforcement continued for several minutes, resulting in a third CHP officer being struck,'' Railsback said. “An RPD officer arrived to the west of the suspect and exchanged gunfire with him.

The suspect was severely injured, causing him to stop his attack.''

Moye was retrieved by an RPD helicopter crew, who flew him to Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley, where he was pronounced dead minutes later.

The leg-shot CHP officer and the third officer, who suffered superficial wounds, were also taken to the county hospital. The latter was treated and released that night. The officer with the critical wound remains hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery, according to the CHP. Luther, who had prior convictions for attempted murder and assault, was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.

A motive for the attack remains unclear, but Dennis Luther told reporters that he believed his son, contending with a troubled marriage and suffering knee ailments that were preventing him from working construction jobs, may have been bent on committing suicide by cop.

iff’s Department, Cal Fire/ Riverside County Fire Department, and AMR were dispatched to the fatal collision shortly before 5:30 a.m., after receiving reports of the major-injury, head-on traffic collision, CHP’s Officer Darren Meyer has since reported.

When officials arrived they discovered two heavily-damaged vehicles, described as a brown, 2004 Lexus sedan and silver, 2008 Toyota Sienna van. Vehicle parts and debris were spread across the twolane section of road, which was left completely blocked and impassable by the accident.

While checking on the status of the various injured victims from the two destroyed vehicles, which were left all but unrecognizable in the crash, officials found one passenger from both vehicles who had already succumbed to their injuries.

Officials also found seven additional victims, including two in the Lexus and five from the Toyota, some of whom required extensive extrication from their wrecked vehicles.

During their subsequent investigation, CHP determined that just before the fatal crash, Brandon Hoffman, a 27-year-old, San Jacinto resident, was driving the Lexus sedan eastbound on Gilman Springs Rd. He had two passengers with him.

At the same time, Juan Llagundo, a 52-year-old, Los Angeles man, was traveling the opposite direction, heading westbound on Gilman Springs Rd. According to CHP, Llagundo had five passengers with him in his Toy-

The tremendous impact left Hoffman trapped inside his Lexus and “required extensive extrication by fire department personnel,� said Meyer.

One of Hoffman’s passengers, Jacquelin Faye, 24, of Moreno Valley – who had been sitting in the right, rear passenger seat of the Lexus sustained major injuries.

Both she and Hoffman were eventually transported to Riverside University Health Systems Hospital’s Trauma Center in Moreno Valley for treatment of their extensive, but unspecified injuries.

A third person from the Lexus, Nestor Canales, 31, of Hemet, who had been sitting in the right front seat of the sedan sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collision. A

coroner’s release indicated he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene at 5:45 a.m.

Llagundo and four of his passengers suffered serious injuries and all were transported by AMR ambulances to Inland Valley Medical Center. “A fifth passenger in the Toyota van, a 64-year-old woman from Los Angeles, sustained fatal injuries as a result of the collision ‌ and she was pronounced deceased at the scene,â€? according to Meyer. Her name has not yet been released, pending further investigation and notification of her family.

Gilman Springs Rd was closed for several hours, until CHP concluded their initial on-scene investigation and the wrecked vehicles were towed from the scene.

CHP’s investigation into the cause of the deadly crash is ongoing and officials have not yet ruled out alcohol and/or drug intoxication or driver fatigue as possible contributing factors in the collision.

children starting school or facing separation from their loved ones,� explained Mrs. Phillips. The books were purchased with Scholastic Book Club points and the teachers’ personal contributions. “We wanted to help our families feel welcomed and comfortable on the first day of school,� shared Mrs. Long. “And we know this really worked because of the great increase in attendance at our kindergarten orien-

tation session,� said Mrs. Boessneck. Orientation was held on August 7, and included a tour of the school campus areas that students would be frequenting. “I think our visit helped students not feel like they were being left with a stranger on that first day of school,� said Mrs. Johnson.

By the time students arrived to school on August 8, most of them had already met with their teacher twice.

LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL A DREW LEAGUE ALL-STAR

Ethan Saenz represents Hemet in Los Angeles Basketball Allstar Game Dartmouth Sixth Grader Can Hoop KYLE HEADLEE | COTRIBUTED

E

than Saenz, a local middle schooler (just started sixth grade at Dartmouth) was named to the Junior Drew League All-Star team and competed this past weekend against the best basketball players in California (in his age bracket.)

What is the Drew League?

The Drew League is a summer invitational basketball tournament sponsored by Nike. The competition is intense there, NBA players play in the league occasionally with former Division One basketball players, Streetball Legends, and amateurs hoping to make a name for themselves. It isn’t just your random league.

This year included players like Lamelo Ball and Nick Young. In the past, Kobe Bryant, James Harden, and Kevin Durant used the Drew League to help train in the offseason.

To go along with the Drew League, Nike hosts a four-week basketball skills camp called the Junior Drew League. Here players are taught shooting, passing, and dribbling techniques as well as how to play as a team, but they are also evaluated during the camp and at the end, the best players are selected to be a part of the AllStar team that plays before the Championship game of the adult league.

Ethan Saenz put Hemet on his back, and proved that there is just as much talent out here as there is in Los Angeles, turning ankles with his impressive ball-handling and breaking necks with his fancy passes.

Throughout the camp, he impressed coaches and

became a sure-fire pick to the All-Star team. The All-Star game is tricky because the chemistry isn’t there, so teams don’t play to their full potential, but just days before the AllStar game Ethan Saenz banked in 40 points in a Travel ball tournament.

Ethan plays basketball for Obsessed Basketball out of Moreno Valley.

He is the point guard on the 11u (eleven and under) team. His coach is Ulande Washington out of Moreno Valley and has been coaching basketball for eight years. Ulande’s main goal is to help kids get through high school and into college by teaching them hard work, dedication, and commitment.

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY

Former San Jacinto Football Star Found Innocent Of All Charges KYLE HEADLEE | COTRIBUTED

I

n middle school, you could find Kishawn Holmes participating in dance battles behind San Jacinto High School's football bleachers while the team was playing.

When he came into the system as a freshman, Kishawn made varsity, and his presence was felt immediately. After Kishawns Freshman season his parents moved him into West Valleys school district where he became a Mustang for a season and made the varsity squad there too. Kishawn Holmes then moved to Murrietta and ended up going to Vista Murrieta High School. His junior year of High School was big for Kishawn. He racked up over 1,100 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns. He was ranked the 26th running back in the nation and 7th in California. He received plenty of college attention from his play and showed outstanding skills at invitation-only camps around Southern California.

It appeared that Kishawn was primed and ready to explode his senior season. Many were talking about the possibility of him playing in UCLA blue in gold the following year.

Kishawn's senior season fell apart before it ever got started when two fellow students accused him of raping them. Kishawn was booked in September 2013, causing him to miss his senior year of high school and many colleges decided to go a different direction.

Since the charges in that case were in Juvenile court, records were not made public. Kishawn Holmes would resurface in 2015 playing football

HOLMES: Kishawns 2016 Mugshot| Photo courtesy of Kishawn for Cerritos Junior College where he dominated the competition He finished his career there as the number one ranked Juco running back, and it seemed like his past was left behind as scholarship offers were coming in the mail every day.

In March of 2016 Kishawn was accused of rape by a fellow student at Cerritos College. This student was a Student Physical Therapist for the school and worked closely with the football team. The student accused Kishawn of inviting her into his apartment and taking her into his room to rape her. The jury took less than a day and found Kishawn guilty of rape.

Kishawn Holmes was always adamant that he didn't do it.

To many outside of the situation, it seemed that the woman who was the victim was using Kishawn's past and celebrity to promote her own image, she later filed to sue Kishawn and Cerritos Junior College.

Kishawn Holmes got lucky; he found the rarest public defender in the state who believed his side of the story and wanted to

WITH A FRIEND: Kishawn and his Lawyer| Photo courtesy of Kishawn get the truth out there. His lawyer didn't just move on to the next case, but took an interest in Kishawn's case and made it a point to prove his innocence.

Kishawn Holmes was exonerated of all charges in Aug of 2019; the District Attorney dropped the case.

Kishawn Holmes walked out of the courtroom one hundred percent a free man. The "Me Too" movement is real, and they're certainly are many women

who need to come forward when they are forced into a situation that they didn't sign up for. However, that doesn't mean that every man is guilty until proven innocent.

That's not the way the forefathers designed our country. Hearsay trials aren't enough for a jury to convict a young man to spend the next fifteen years of his life behind bars, for him to miss out on achieving his life

dream of playing football at the highest level, for his name to be tarnished and drug on the ground, and for him to be away from his family.

In the last couple of years, sexual harassment and misconduct claims against athletes and celebrities have become prominent across mainstream media. Are all these men innocent?

Certainly not, but they aren't all guilty ether, and

we need to get back to "You Are Innocent Until Proven Guilty," that this nation was founded on.

Kishawn Holmes is an example of someone's life who was on the way up but was knocked down by someone else's envious nature. Now he has to start all over, but he still has the NFL in his sights and is willing to put in all the work necessary to hear his name called on Sunday mornings.

SHOWDOWN

Juan Saaverda Showdown In H-Town

An artist who wants to share the beauty of graffiti with the world KYLE HEADLEE | COTRIBUTED

T

his week's alumni is Juan Saaverda, also known as Tattoo Juan, Juan graduated from Hemet High in 2007. Juan currently spends his time working at Hidn Tattoo in San Jacinto as the shop manager. Juan loves to spend his free time with his kids and working on his classic truck. Juan is a great artist that has always loved drawing. At a young age, Juan Saaverda fell in love with graffiti type art and started practicing the style in all of his sketches. Eventually, Juan knew that he was going to draw for the rest of his life and started to learn how to draw different styles like realism, black and grey, and portraits.

Juan prides himself on not only being a decent artist in one category, but rather being diverse enough to handle any kind of tattoo that comes walking through the door.

Juan Saaverda never lost his passion for the graffiti style of art, "It's an art form that has passion and creativity."

Juan feels like a lot of people overlook graffiti artists because their art isn't in a form that many people in society approve of. A lot of people don't understand the difference between Tagging and Graffiti. Tagging is the ugly stuff you see around where people are trying to mark their territory, but Graffiti art with a message is some of the most beautiful art around.

Murals of people like Tupac and

Nipsey Hussle in LA, the walls along Venice Beach, and Cesar Chavez Park in San Diego are all examples of the talent and beauty behind graffiti artists. Tattoo Juan plans on starting a nonprofit to help local kids who have a passion for graffiti. He hopes to help them channel that love for art into something positive. This nonprofit would have a piece of property where the kids can practice their graffiti freely without feeling like society is looking down on them. Juan would offer art classes to teach kids how to work with shadows, dimensions, and realistic details. For kids who have shown a commitment to the program and have grown, Juan Saaverda would like to teach them how to tattoo if that was a path they wanted to choose. Juan believes that if we as a society stop criminalizing these kids who have a passion for art and instead embrace them, point them in the right direction, and teach them to channel their gifts into something they can use for the rest of their lives then we can make a real difference in the community.

Do you know someone who graduated from one of the local high schools and is doing great things in the community?

Email me at VcsportsKyle.@gmail.com and tell me a little bit about them, make sure to include their contact information, a picture, and a detailed message of why they should be the next Alumni of the Week.

Bulldogs take on Pumas KYLE HEADLEE | COTRIBUTED

T

he Hemet High Bulldogs (finished last season 8-5) will take on the Chaparral (finished last season 7-4) Pumas on Friday, Aug. 23rd at Hemet High School. This is a non-league game, but will still be very competitive as these teams do know each other well enough and have a history of playing each other. Last season Chaparral beat the Bulldogs 24-7 at their house, this will be the first chance for the new regime in Hemet to show that they aren’t the same team that got beat last year. This will be our first look at the Hemet Bulldogs since longtime coach Jason Thornburg retired. The new Head Coach is Dennis Gregovich. Coach Gregovich isn’t new to coaching; he had a brief stint at Tahquitz High School in the past.

Dennis Gregovich is an offensive coach and will look to light up the scoreboard this year. His system will be new to the league, which might give him an advantage. Chaparral returns their head coach Andrew Ramer who will look to start the season out strong. Chaparral dresses over 70 players at home games (not all will travel with the team) it is expected that Eli Bertran will be the man under center, as he leads the team in 7 on 7 tournaments during the offseason. Since Orlando Ornelas graduated in June. Chaparrals top four leading rushers all graduated and seven out of the eight receivers who banked in catches last year also graduated.

Chaparral is putting in a very young team that hasn’t completely gelled together as a unit yet, brand new quarterback under center, brand new running backs, and brand new receivers. It’s going to be very interesting to see how this game plays out.

As for Hemet they too have a brand new quarterback under center Jeremiah Graves who got some reps last year as a sophomore under Nicholas Thornburg. This year Jeremiah will try to earn the trust of his team and take down the sleeping giants in the division San Jacinto High School and Citrus Hill. Most of Hemet’s leading rushers graduated last year and so did their leading receivers, with Graves being a lone exception who transitioned from receiver to quarterback in the off-season.

Essentially these two teams are completely different from the last year and both will be ready to prove they have what it takes this season to compete for a playoff position. Pictures and video of the game will be on Facebook at Author Kyle Rae Headlee, if you see any pictures of your child you like feel free to grab them, all I ask is if you like the page.

In other Mountain Pass News; San Jacinto will be taking on Great Oaks in Temecula, Tahquitz will play Vista Del Lago at Tahquitz, Beaumont vs. Palm Desert in Beaumont, Citrus Hill is playing a home game against Palm Springs, and West Valley will be facing off against Shadow Hills in Indio.

“Big Joe Burton” taking his talents to France Time to get back to work KYLE HEADLEE | COTRIBUTED

F

ormer West-Valley Mustang finds a new home in France, previously Burton said he was waiting for a new contract offer, and the news had been quiet. He was confident that he would continue to play basketball overseas but was patiently waiting for his next opportunity. Joseph Burton played his college basketball at Oregon State and has spent the last few years traveling across Europe and Asia playing basketball and dominating the competition.

We now know where he will be playing basketball for at least the next season, and that will be in France as the center of the Chorale Roanne basketball club.

Chorale Roanne is a part of the

LNB Pro A division and plays at the Halle Andre Vacheresse arena which holds over 5,000 seats. The club won two championships in its history one in 1959 and the other in 2007, it’s been 13 years since they have tasted the gold and the club hopes bringing Burton on board brings them a dominant force down low to anchor their team.

Joseph Burton joins four other Americans on the roster and six french natives. The head coach is Laurent Pluvy; not much information is known about him.

It looks like Joseph Burton will be competing with Johndre Jefferson, a former University of South Carolina center. Johndre has been playing basketball overseas for about seven years after not being drafted to the

NBA in 2012. Joseph and Johndre may compete for the starting job unless the coach wants to play big and let Burton play the Power-Forward and Jefferson play center. There is also Ferdinand Prenom on the roster who plays center as well. Ferdinand Prenom is a French native who has been playing professional ball since 2008. He also went undrafted in 2013. The three of them make up the three-headed monster defending the key for Chorale Roanne Basketball Club this upcoming season.

This is an excellent opportunity for Joseph, who wants to continue his playing career for as long as possible. He will be missing his wife and kids, while he is away but he is doing it for them. Usually, they will travel

BURTON: Coming Soon To A Court In France| Photo Courtesy of Kyle Headlee. with him, but since this is a new place and his wife is ready to have their next baby any day it is best that they stay home while Burton goes overseas.

Burton is easily one of the most successful athletes that have come out of the valley and continues to represent the San Jacinto Valley/his Tribe as he

travels the world playing basketball. Joseph spent most of the offseason working out and staying in shape, even putting in work at the local La Fitness courts.

BIBLE WORLD ANSWERS

here has been a lot of clerical hand-wringing of late about Catholics who don’t believe what the church teaches about Christ’s presence in the bread and wine of the Eucharist. According to the Pew Research Center, only one-third of Catholics agree that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ. Almost 70 percent believe that during Mass, the bread and wine used in Communion “are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.”

This certainly shows a failure in catechetics, but I think the church faces a greater problem: Like the Pew Research Center, Catholics have an impoverished idea of what the Eucharist is really all about.

Much of Eucharistic theology — especially the Catholic teaching of transubstantiation — goes back to the 13th century, when people rarely received Communion at Mass. They went to church to adore Christ present in the Eucharist, and the purpose of Mass was to transform the host into the body of Christ so that people could adore him.

Devotionally, the Mass was not all that different from Benediction, where the Eucharist is placed in a monstrance to be adored

by Catholics.

In order to explain how what looked like bread could be the body of Christ, 13th-century theologians used the avant-garde thinking of the time: Aristotelianism.

In ancient Greece, Aristotle described reality using concepts of prime matter, substantial forms, substance and accidents.

This allowed Catholic theologians using Aristotelian philosophy to explain that the “substance” of the bread was changed into the body of Christ while the “accidents” (appearance) remained the same. Thus, “transubstantiation.”

EUCHARIST: A priest offers Communion| Courtesy Photo.

Using Aristotelian concepts to explain Catholic mysteries in the 21st century is a fool’s errand.

When was the last time you met an Aristotelian outside a Catholic seminary?

I personally find the theology of transubstantiation unintelligible, not because I don’t believe that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ, but because I do not believe in prime matter, substantial forms, substance and accidents. I don’t think we have a clue what Jesus meant when he said, “This is my body.” I think we should humbly accept it as a mystery and not pretend we understand it.

In any case, Jesus did not say, “This is my body.

Adore me.” He said, “Take and eat. This is my body.”

Only in the early 20th century, with the encouragement of Pope Pius X, did receiving Communion again become common in the Catholic Church.

The church also spoke of the Eucharist as making present and effective the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. But even here, the concept of sacrifice was quite limited. Only in a holocaust sacrifice was everything burnt. In most Hebrew sacrifices, some

of what was sacrificed was eaten in order to show God’s communion with his people.

At the 2005 synod of bishops on the Eucharist, the bishops were arguing about whether the Eucharist is a sacrifice or a communion. Pope Benedict had to intervene and explain to the bishops that it was both, something the bishops should have learned in their first course on sacramental theology.

The context of the Last Supper is also essential to understand what Jesus was instituting. The Last Supper was a Passover meal where Jews remember the Exodus and thank God for his gracious acts toward his people. Here they also renew their covenant with God. The Mass must therefore be seen as a sacrificial meal where we give thanks to God, especially for the gift of his son; where we renew the new covenant with him; and where we are united with him through Christ.

The Mass is not about adoring Jesus or even praying to Jesus. In the Eucharistic prayer said by the priest at Mass, we pray to the Father through, with and in Christ. We give thanks and praise

to God for his wondrous deeds, especially for raising up Jesus as our savior.

The Eucharistic prayer asks that the Spirit transform us so that we can become like Christ, or as St. Augustine said, that “we become what we receive.”

Ultimately, the Mass is more about us becoming the body of Christ than it is about the bread becoming the body of Christ.

The Mass renews the covenant that commits us to follow in Christ’s footsteps in loving our brothers and sisters, especially the poor and the marginalized. The Eucharist is about making us more Christ-like so that we can continue his mission of establishing the kingdom of God, of bringing justice and peace to the world.

IDENTIFIED from A1

as the man who died in the crash. A Coroner’s release indicated McKelvey succumbed to his injuries at the scene and was pronounced deceased at 12:01 a.m. According to his friends and family, McKelvey was a former Hemet High School and Western Center Academy student, and had just turned 21 on July 24.

City of Hemet Police and Fire Departments, along with CHP, Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department, and AMR were dispatched to the scene at about 11:58 p.m., Hemet Police Sgt. Dan Reinbolt has since said of the fatal crash.

When officials arrived within minutes of the dispatched call, they found a destroyed 1989 Chevy Corvette wrapped around a power pole. The sports car was completely unrecognizable and medical personnel determined the driver and sole occupant of the car had already passed away from his major traumatic injuries.

Officers who investigated the cause of the crash determined McKelvey was driving on Mountain Ave, when he lost control of his vehicle, which careened off the road and plowed into a power pole on the north side of the roadway, according to Reinbolt.

Witnesses to the fatal accident later reported McKelvey was traveling at high speed

just before the collision, with several people claiming the victim was going about 100 mph when he lost control of his Corvette and crashed into the power pole. Officers are still working to determine how fast McKelvey was driving just before the deadly accident.

While officials worked at the scene, they called for the full closure of Mountain Ave., between Soboba and Hemet streets. The road remained closed in both directions for about five hours while the investigation was conducted.

“It is not known if alcohol or drugs played a role in this very unfortunate incident,” Reinbolt explained; saying the department’s investigation was ongoing.

Flea control with Cats and Dogs DR. NANCY KAY | COTRIBUTED

Fleas are the most common external parasite of pets in North America.

Fleas are small wingless insects that use their specialized mouth to pierce the skin and siphon blood from their host. When a flea bites, it injects a small amount of saliva into the skin to prevent the blood from coagulating. Some animals become sensitized to flea saliva and animals that are allergic can have severe itching and scratching from a single bite. Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common disease among dogs.

Current flea control products are primarily either oral or topical systemic treatments. Most of the products may be used for prevention as well as to treat existing flea problems. One group of products control fleas by interrupting their development by killing or stopping the maturation of flea larvae and eggs. These drugs are called Insect Growth Regulators (IGRs). One common oral product used is lufenuron which is found in the Program® line of products which are administered orally in tablet or liquid form. Methoprene and pyriproxifen are also IGRs that are available as sprays or collars. The FDA shares regulation of these products with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Because even the same products from other countries have not been approved by these agencies, it is illegal to purchase or import these products for use in the United States.

Currently the most popular flea control products kill adult fleas (adulticide), are applied topically and work rapidly. Popular topical products utilize fipronil which is the key ingredient in Frontline® Top Spot and

FLEA CONTROL: With any flea treatment, it is necessary to treat all of the animals in the home in order to achieve complete success.

In addition, you will likely need to treat the indoor and outdoor environment.| Courtesy Photo. imidacloprid which is in Advantage®. The most popular product on the market, Frontline Plus®, utilizes both an adulticide and an IGR. An oral adulticide that is also available is nitenpyram which is in Capstar® and begins to kill fleas in 30 minutes. Frontline Plus also kills ticks which makes it the most popular product where ongoing tick protection is required.

Consult with your veterinarian to determine which flea and tick control products are best for you. The choice of flea control will depend on your climate, environment, your pet's activities, and potential for exposure. However, with consistent use, it is almost always possible to control your flea problem. Using these products throughout the year typically will eliminate the need for regular insecticidal use. The following provide additional summary information on selected popular products.

PROGRAM FROM NOVARTIS Program is available as a once a month pill or oral liquid suspension to be given with a full meal.

Adult fleas that ingest Program's key ingredient, lufenuron, produce sterile eggs. Program does not kill adult fleas so pets remain susceptible to fleas hatching and maturing pupa already present in the environment. Therefore,

some time may pass before the all fleas are killed in an environment. In order to stop the life cycle, every animal in the environment must receive lufenuron.

Pets should also be sprayed with an adulticide during the first week or two of starting Program.

ADVANTAGE FROM BAYER Advantage is applied topically on both dogs and cats and seems to be very well-tolerated by sensitive cats. Advantage kills fleas within 24 hours and 100% protection can be maintained for cats for 21 days and 90% protection can be maintained for dogs for 28 days. Advantage is susceptible to washing off so dogs that are active outdoors and dogs that swim or must be bathed frequently should be re-treated frequently.

Up to weekly re-treatment is allowed. The imidacloprid in Advantage does not effect ticks, but K-9Advantix, with permethrin does. K9 Advantix is only labeled for once a month K9 Advantix is ONLY FOR USE WITH DOGS and MUST NOT BE ADMINISTERED TO CATS. FRONTLINE SPRAY, FRONTLINE PLUS AND FRONTLINE TOP SPOT FROM MERIAL® Frontline Spray, Frontline Plus, and Frontline Top Spot comprise the market leading Frontline flea control product line. The fipronil in Frontline products is a broad spectrum insecticide available as a spray or topical. Fipronil works by binding chemically to the pet's hair and is absorbed through the follicle by the sebaceous glands. As a spray, fipronil kills fleas at 95% for over 80 days after application on dogs and for 1 month with biweekly bathing. Frontline is labeled for puppies and kittens as young as 8

Political Cartoons

Know when to hold them ANDREW F. KOTYUK | COLUMNIST

T

ariffs have been delayed to December with renewed hopes by President Trump that some agreement would be made with China. September 1st additional tariffs were to kick in. August presented additional slowing economic data globally that resulted in multiple governments seeing their bond rates drop. Data shows that it is the consumer, you and I, that are propping up the country with our spending. It seems to be in quite a substantial way to offsetting slowing manufacturing, housing and service sectors. By comparison, the United States is doing very well despite this compared to other countries.

Now don’t get over-excited and jump back in the market with both feet. Just like when the market is panicking and I remind you to not do the same, it is my responsibility to do the same and give advice when there is mania to jump back in. Yes, the market is rallying and interest rates are

back above their low. I suspect the market is going to shrug a slowing economy and interest rate inversion off. After all, a recession happens on the average about 22 months after an inversion. We have time, right?

When looking at the data there is still concern about slowing profits for companies and the continued lowering of projected earnings. This week started with racing back up toward the all-time highs.

Why? Nothing has changed. If there was an agreement with China, then maybe. If there was an increase in corporate profits then, yes. Even if there were a bump in inflation, it would be a reason. Are there any positive headwinds?

It seems there is a positive discussion regarding the economy.

Recently several companies who were labeled as companies that would be hurt by tariffs actually show in their latest corporate earnings that they haven’t been.

Apple and Walmart both had good earnings and have rallied strongly lifting their indices. This week econo-

mists meet for the annual event in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Right before this event, several of them upgraded their projected GDP to above 2%. They will release why soon.

With the market giving us head fakes weekly, each direction looks like a trap. This is where discipline, a plan, and data comes in. Don’t get emotional or stressed out. I would like to see a 12-17% move off the highs before starting to add to positions. Right now, it appears there is double the risk to the downside than to the upside. Let the market gain a direction before evaluating your next steps. One measurable that I am watching is the Volatility Index, VIX. Normally when the market rally, it will drop. It should typically have a negative correlation to the market. In recent weeks, it hasn’t. When the market rally, it has not been falling and holding its ground. If this continues, there is more downside we believe soon.

If it falls back off, then the market should move higher for the short term. Areas we are monitoring closely is oil and copper. These are both at twelve months, if not longer, lows. It appears oil is finally bottoming out poised to rally.

As Kenny Rogers sings, “Know when to hold’em, known when to fold’em. Don’t gamble in the market.

Trump moves to end limits on detention of migrant children COLLEEN LONG AND AMY TAXIN | AP

T

he Trump administration is moving to end an agreement limiting how long migrant children can be kept in detention, the president’s latest effort to curb immigration at the Mexican border.

A court fight is almost certain to follow, challenging the attempt to hold migrant families until asylum cases are decided.

A current settlement overseen by the federal courts now requires the government to keep children in the least restrictive setting and to release them as quickly as possible, generally after 20 days in detention.

Homeland Security officials say they are adopting their own regulations that reflect that “Flores agreement,” which has been in effect since 1997. They say there is no longer a need for the court involvement, which was only meant to be temporary. But the new rules would allow the government to

hold families in detention much longer than 20 days.

It is the latest effort by the administration to tighten immigration, President Donald Trump’s signature issue, and is aimed at restricting the movement of asylum seekers in the country and deterring more migrants from crossing the border. The news immediately generated fresh outrage, following reports of dire conditions in detention facilities, and it is questionable whether courts will let the administration move forward with the policy.

Trump defended it, saying: “I’m the one that kept the families together.”

But immigrant advocates and Democrats decried the new regulations, saying prolonged detention would traumatize immigrant children.

“The administration is seeking to codify child abuse, plain and simple,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat, said in a statement.

Peter Schey, a lawyer for the

immigrant children in the Flores case and president of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law, said if the regulations don’t match the settlement in that

case, “they would be in immediate material breach, if not contempt of court.”

“I think all these things are now part of the 2020 campaign,” Schey

Man Admits Sexually Assaulting Menifee Girl

A 22-year-old man who groped a girl in a Menifee park pleaded guilty to lewd acts on a child on Wednesday, August 21. Roland George Riddell admitted the felony count during a status hearing at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mark Mandio scheduled a sentencing hearing for Oct. 24. Riddell is free on a $55,000 bond. According to sheriff’s officials, on the evening of April 21, 2018, Riddell was roaming La Ladera Park when he accosted the young girl, whose name was not released and whom Riddell did not know. Riddell touched the child’s buttocks several times while speaking to her, prompting adults supervising other children nearby to shout at him, investigators said. Riddell tried to run away, but several men chased him to the edge of the park and grabbed him, holding him until deputies arrived. No one was injured.

Part of the apprehension was videotaped by a witness using a cellphone, authorities said. Riddell’s attorney sought a mental health assessment, but that endeavor was abandoned when the plea agreement was reached, according to court records. Riddell has no documented prior felony convictions.

undreds of millions of dollars in federal student loan debt owed by tens of thousands of disabled military veterans will be erased under a directive President Donald Trump signed Wednesday.

Trump ordered the Education Department to “eliminate every penny of federal student loan debt” owed by American veterans who are completely and permanently disabled.

Trump said they won’t have to pay federal income tax on the forgiven debt and called on states to waive their taxes on the loans, too.

America, he said, owes its heroes “a supreme debt of gratitude.”

Trump’s announcement at the AMVETS national convention in Louisville elicited a loud round of applause from the crowd of more than 2,500 veterans.

He signed the directive after addressing the gathering.

Only about half of the roughly 50,000 disabled veterans who qualify to have their federal student loan debt forgiven have received the benefit, and the administration blames a “burdensome” application process.

The document directs the government to develop an expedited process so veterans can have the debt discharged “with minimal burdens.”

The action will wipe out an average of $30,000 in debt owed by more than 25,000 eligible veterans, Trump said, calling them “incredible people” who have made “the ultimate sacrifice, in many ways, for our nation.”

“It’s gone forever,”

Trump said.

Trump also used his appearance to highlight steps the administration has taken to bolster the military, including increased spending and new equipment. He also discussed the administration’s commitment to veterans, including helping them access health care, reducing opioid addiction and minimizing suicide among those no longer in uniform.

Trump said the administration is “determined to do everything in our power” to end suicide among veterans. About 20 veterans end their lives every day.

Trump promoted the drug Spravato, a new Johnson & Johnson nasal spray approved for treatment-resistant depression.

He said he had instructed his administration to get as much of the drug as possible from the New Jersey-based consumer products company.

Trump said Johnson & Johnson has done so well and “made so much money” that they “should give it to us for free.”

Johnson & Johnson said in a statement that it is having discussions with the Department of Veter-

tained and the standards for their care.

“We’re going to have a world that looks a lot like the internment of families and children, where we have basically regularized prison as a default for families seeking political asylum in this country,” she told reporters.

The rule follows moves last week to broaden the definition of a “public charge” to include immigrants on public assistance, potentially denying green cards to more immigrants.

There was also a recent effort to effectively end asylum altogether at the southern border.

There has been a drastic increase in the number of families crossing the border — about 475,000 so far this budget year, nearly three times the previous full-year record for families. Most are released into the U.S. while their asylum requests wind through the courts — a practice Trump has derided as “catch-and-release.”

hearings.

The government operates three family detention centers that can hold a total of about 3,000 people. One is being used for single adults, and the other two are at capacity.

McAleenan said he didn’t expect to need more bed space because, together with other efforts to restrict the flow of migrants, he expects fewer people to be coming.

Immigrant advocates, in contrast, said they believed the change would put many more immigrants into detained court proceedings, slowing the process and keeping children locked up for longer.

“This is unnecessarily cruel and frankly evil,” Jess Morales Rocketto, chair of Families Belong Together, told reporters. “The idea that this administration and its agencies can be trusted to do self-regulation and follow the rules is completely ridiculous.”

The massive influx of Central American families to the U.S.-Mexico border has greatly strained the system and foiled Trump’s tough talk on immigration, though agreements by Mexico to clamp down on migrants and a new agreement with Guatemala forcing migrants to claim asylum there instead of heading north are expected to reduce the flow.

Trump administration officials have also forced more than 30,000 people to wait out their asylum cases in Mexico. It’s not clear how this change would affect that policy.

The Flores agreement sets standards of care for children who cross the border alone as well as with families. Lawyers in the case recently spoke out about what they said were deplorable, filthy conditions for children held at border facilities not meant to hold large groups of people for very long.

Woman, boyfriend admit killing baby found adjacent to freeway

An 18-year-old from Corona and his girlfriend who killed their newborn daughter and dumped her remains near Interstate 15 both pleaded guilty on Tuesday, August 20, to murder.

Joshua Tyler Benson and Shawna Joelle Andritch, 23, admitted during a status hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice to taking the life of the infant, known only as “Baby Jane.’’ Under the plea agreement with the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Benson pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, while Andritch confessed to a second-degree murder charge. He’s facing 25 years to life in state prison, and she’s facing 15 years to life when they are sentenced by Superior Court Judge David Gunn on Oct. 18.

Each is being held without bail at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside. The pair were arrested in December for the killing five months earlier. Corona police investigators credited tips from the public following Baby Jane’s Dec. 6 burial at Sunnyslope Cemetery with providing the necessary clues to crack the case.

The dead infant was discovered by a landscaper in a cardboard box on the afternoon of July 27, 2018, near Interstate 15 and Cajalco Road. She was wrapped in a men’s T-shirt -- which Benson later admitted was his -and had a blanket and stuffed animal with her, prosecutors said, adding that afterbirth was still on the baby’s skin. Coroner’s officials could never confirm a specific cause of death. However, they did verify that she was not stillborn, surviving birth and killed sometime immediately afterward, according to the District Attorney’s Office. “Further investigation revealed that the (defendants) had intended to kill the baby from the beginning ... succeeding and leaving (her) in the box under the freeway,’’ according to an agency statement.

The case triggered community outrage, and police turned to the public for assistance identifying the parents, but few clues were forthcoming last summer. Public safety officials raised funds to pay for Baby Jane Doe’s burial, which generated additional publicity about the case, culminating in the identification of the defendants as the perpetrators. Andritch has no documented prior felony or misdemeanor convictions. No information was available concerning Benson, who was a juvenile at the time of the murder.

Wednesday the regulations create higher standards to govern family detention facilities. The facilities will be regularly audited, and the audits made public.

The regulations are expected to be formally published Friday and go into effect in 60 days absent legal challenges.

Holly Cooper, co-director of the immigration law clinic at University of California, Davis and a lawyer in the Flores case, said attorneys haven’t seen the final rule and will have a week to brief a federal judge, who will weigh whether they are consistent with the settlement.

The government’s proposed rule, she said, wouldn’t have let lawyers monitor conditions in border facilities and would have dramatically changed how long children could be de-

The Flores agreement has been in effect since 1997 but mostly was applied to children who came to the country alone. In 2015, U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee ruled the requirements were applicable to children who crossed the border with families, after the Obama administration built family detention centers and started detaining families until their cases were completed.

Homeland Security did not say how long it expects families to be kept, but McAleenan said under the previous administration it was about 50 days.

He said, “The intent is for a fair and expeditious proceeding.”

Asylum cases involving detained families move much more quickly than cases for families released, taking months instead of years to resolve, in part because there are none of the delays that result when immigrants fail to show up for

ans Affairs and other payers to ensure “affordable access” to Spravato for its use in patients with treatment-resistant depression.

The drug is sold to the federal government at discounted prices, the company said.

After the speech, Trump went to a nearby hotel to headline a fundraiser for Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, who is seeking reelection against Democratic state Attorney General Andy Beshear in what’s shaping up to be a close November election.

Bevin, who plays up his ties to Trump in pitching for a second term, quickly boarded Air Force One after it landed in Louisville so he could be photographed accompanying Trump off the presidential aircraft.

Trump recently promised to hold a campaign rally for Bevin and said Wednesday that Bevin “has been a truly great governor.” Trump’s reelection campaign has not announced a date for a Kentucky rally.

Trump also spoke glowingly of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, praising “exceptional work” by the Kentucky Republican in getting the GOP-controlled Senate to confirm scores of Trump’s conservative nominees to federal judgeships.

McConnell is seeking reelection next year to a seventh Senate term and is facing a stiff challenge from Democrat Amy McGrath.

Trump said he’d return to Kentucky to bolster both candidates.

“I’ll be here campaigning for Mitch and I’ll be here campaigning for Matt, and we’re going to get them both back in,” Trump said. independent monitor overseeing claims of government noncompliance with Flores rules detailed the extreme overcrowding and poor conditions that immigrant youths faced in detention.

For example, a Border Patrol station in in Clint, Texas, an El Paso suburb, had a stated capacity for 105 children. On June 1, there were 676. Lawyers who visited in June described squalid conditions. Children cared for toddlers, the lawyers said, with inadequate food, water and sanitation.

A federal appeals panel found last week that detained children should get edible food, clean water, soap and toothpaste under the agreement, after a bid to limit what must be provided.

Taxin reported from Santa Ana, California. AP Writer Astrid Galvan in Phoenix and Jill Colvin in Washington contributed.

DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW | VIRTUES OF PROCRASTINATION

“Don’t put off ’till tomorrow, what you can do today” MUHAMMAD NAEEM | COLUMNIST

W

e all remember this age-old saying, meant to encourage us to complete our tasks in a timely manner, do our chores as soon as possible, and meet life’s challenges as they raise their ugly head.

Finish your work now rather than postpone it for a later time. Do your homework as early as possible—something that I wish my kids would heed. Instead, they do their homework in the car on the way to school, on the day that it is due. (I have often wondered why their grades always seem to be stuck at C-minus.)

Do not procrastinate that would be the wisdom of this saying. I do procrastinate, though—and often—but I don’t know if that is such a bad thing. My wife calls me the man of tomorrow because I am always saying that I’ll do it tomorrow. Whatever “it” maybe; tomorrow is my target date to do it. Of course, there is another tomorrow after that one, and so on.

I don’t think it is procrastination that I suffer from, because I make a conscious decision to postpone some of

my tasks; I am not just lazy about them. There are certain to-do items that one has to postpone; that would be the right thing to do. As a matter of fact, not postponing them would be wrong. There are times when it is better to wait and do it later, instead of doing it early or doing it on time.

I give you an example so you may understand my point.

Four months out of every year, our electricity bill doubles, and sometimes triples, because California government has given its permission to the electricity providers, through legislation, to fleece us as much as possible. They call it charges based on demand. There is more demand for power in summer, and the charges automatically

go higher. Now, like every red-blooded American, my paycheck is always a couple of weeks behind my bills.

When electricity rates rise on a logarithmic scale, I can’t pay my bill on time, or at all. I

make a deliberate decision not to pay it today and put it off for another day. It works well because once I pass the due date, I get a letter telling me that my power will be cut off on a certain date. Once I get close to that date, I then make payment arrangements. Sometimes my payment arrangements overlap with my next bill and I postpone paying both bills.

Then I ask that my payment be split over three months. As luck would have it, every few months, I get five paychecks in one month because I get paid week-

Immigration PORTER’S CORNER

CALVIN PORTER | COLUMNIST

W

e ask ourselves, why can’t people stay in their own countries, why do so many leave their places of birth, their unique cultures and languages, their loved relatives and in a word their entire lives, to emigrate to other latitudes where they are not welcome? Most of these people through no fault of their own are forced to seek survival for themselves and their families elsewhere. Failed and corrupt governments unable or unwilling to provide economic opportunities for their people, are responsible in many cases, natural phenomena such and draught and plague that bring about famine, political upheaval, lack of safety for the population and many other factors contribute to the outpouring of humanity from disadvantaged countries.

Employment opportunities and better standards of living in host countries are huge attractions for people who have nothing to lose, and are willing to risk everything for an improved life.

Countries in eastern and western Europe, Asia and America, are grappling with waves of immigrants coming from Africa, the Middle East, and Central

and South America, immigrants that are willing to tackle every kind of job no matter how menial it may be, work they say locals will not perform. Unskilled, low paying jobs that keep the costs of products low so everybody can buy cheap and companies can compete in a world labor market and survive. The cost of union and non-union labor is so high in developed countries in sectors of the economy like agriculture, services and manufacturing that unless there is a source of inexpensive labor, these companies would fail, bringing about many negative social and fiscal repercussions for the entire population.

Were it not for this pool of cheap hand labor; some crops would not be harvested and left to rot like occurred in the UK in 2018; $13 million in crops in California were not harvested because no one was willing to work jobs vacated by migrants.

Additionally, labor trafficking in manufacturing has occurred in the garment industry and in food processing plants in the United States. Both men and women are forced to work 10-12 hour days, 6-7 days per week with little or no break time.

People may be traf-

ficked into garment industry jobs such as sewing, assembling, pressing, or packing apparel. Others may be forced to work in food processing operations that include slaughtering, preserving, canning and packing goods for distribution.

Immigrant workers, including some with H-2B visas, who arrive in the U. S. to perform non-agricultural labor or temporary services, are often recruited into these industries.

Immigration, both legal and illegal has been kicked around like a political soccer ball by the governing class so as to keep their positions, salaries and benefits that are underwritten by the common taxpayer - perks that are not offered in private business for these perpetual public servants.

The voting public in these democracies have the final say. Shall we continue to tolerate that lawmakers here in Washington and other capitals of the world maintain a hands-off attitude towards an immigration issue that unjustly affects millions of human beings that can and should be legally incorporated into a society to which they already contribute, without their f a i r share of retribution?

ly. That fifth paycheck then allows me to cover all my shortfalls. Now if I don’t “procrastinate,” as my wife is so fond of pointing that out, I wouldn’t get the opportunity to catch up with my bills.

Another example would be a letter that I got from the IRS a while back. I could have opened it and found out what it was about and have dealt with the issue right then. But we all know that a letter from the IRS is never a good thing. Imagine the stress that I would have gone through had I opened the letter when I received it. It is not like the phone calls that we often receive where an agent of the IRS, with an Indian, or Chinese, or Russian accent, tells us that the Sheriff is on his way to arrest us unless we pay so much money right on the spot. That one is easy; we just go to the nearest CVS Pharmacy, get one of those non-traceable gift cards with

a credit card logo on it, and then call them back with all the details. Problem solved right away. But a letter, my goodness, that is serious. So, I threw that letter away. I got a couple more letters in the coming months, which I also threw away until I got the one that is sent via certified mail and it requires my signature by the Post Office delivery person—mailperson, that is, in case we confuse him or her with an Amazon delivery person. Although, it is hard to tell these days if the Post Office is really working for Amazon, with so many Amazon boxes coming to my address. But, I digress.

I not only bought myself a few stress-free months because I did not follow the advice from this saying, but I was able to finally resolve my issue with the IRS amicably. I only had to pay an exorbitant amount of money as penalties and interest, but thank goodness, another month with five paychecks is just around the corner, and once again, I can catch up with my bills.

I hope you can follow my corollary to the above saying: “Don’t put off ’till tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after tomorrow.” You’ll thank me later.

ith help from the Soboba Foundation, the 2019 Tribute Mania Concert Series will enjoy a third season run from September through December. As a Presenting Sponsor, the philanthropic arm of the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians will help bring some talented tribute bands to the theater at 216 E. Florida Ave. in Hemet.

A unanimous decision

by Soboba Foundation’s board to support the concert series is due to its meaningful addition to the Downtown Hemet Historic District. Its popularity brings much awareness to the nearly 100-year-old theater and efforts by a group of dedicated volunteers to restore it to its glory days.

Dondi Silvas, Vice President of the Soboba Foundation, feels it is important to support hometown businesses and organizations.

“Our valley has changed in so many ways that it just feels good to help preserve some of our past,” she said. “It’s nice to be able to go somewhere here in town to enjoy a great date night. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the volunteers are very friendly.”

Silvas, who lives at the Soboba Reservation, has attended several concerts in the past and has enjoyed them all.

“The tribute bands are really good and they are all great performers,” she said. “I have many favorites, but the Bruno Mars tribute band was so amazing my boyfriend Myles and I were hooked. The dance floor was crowded

and the people that attended were there for a great time.”

In 2013, The Historic Hemet Theatre Foundation took over the operation of the movie house that was built in 1921, making it one of the oldest in the country according to Susan Carrier, CEO and board president for the nonprofit.

After the purchase was completed in 2018, the organization started the building’s multi-million-dollar renovation.

With plans to update the building, inside and out, the group wants to keep as much of the original art deco flair from the 1930s that the theater possesses through replication.

The nonprofit’s 100plus volunteers are dedicated to improving the quality of life in the community with three key

impacts: history preservation of the theater, cultural enrichment through performing arts and educational programming and economic revitalization of Hemet’s downtown district.

The concert series kicks off with a tribute to The Beach Boys courtesy of Surf ’s Up and continues twice a month with tributes to The Eagles, The Beatles, Buddy Holly, Huey Lewis, Blues Brothers, Styx and ending with a Stone Soul Christmas show on Dec. 21.

All Saturday shows will start at 7 p.m. with doors opening at 6:15. The theater’s box office is open Mon. through Fri. from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for presale tickets, which provide a $3 discount per ticket.

HEMET CAR GUY

What is the right car for you?

A great car on paper still can be the wrong car!

RICHARD PERRY | CONTRIBUTED

Greetings from the Hemet Car Guy, Have you ever thought you purchased the wrong car or just had buyer’s remorse?

You can buy a 2-day recession that cost $250 and then pay the $500 restocking fee or make sure you are purchasing the right car.

People come to me every day asking for vehicle suggestions, but too often their requests have a very narrow focus - “I need a car with good gas mileage...I want something fast...I need four-wheel-drive.” These may be very legitimate, but it is important for car buyers to take a broader look at their vehicle needs.

For example, a client was quite clear in the beginning that he wanted a convertible they thought for sure he was going to pick the Mustang GT drop-top, but he didn’t.

He went with the Challenger, which is coupe only. The reason he went with the Dodge is because of how the car sounded and felt tough.

This scenario is similar to many others that I have encountered when someone says they really want one thing, when in fact, there are other factors they may not have considered.

More often than not, when buyers have a specific request, there is a bigger picture that should be addressed.

If this larger issue is not taken into consideration, someone could end up with a vehicle they aren’t really happy with.

The first thing is, you must determine how much car you can afford. You don’t want to get in over their head and risk having to roll negative equity into your next loan.

Once that budget is established, here are a few questions that can help y o u

avoid buyer’s remorse.

How much do you drive?

Even with fuel prices at reasonable levels, most buyers are concerned with their gas mileage. However, far too often, they get hung up on the difference of a few MPG and in their quest for maximum efficiency end up making unnecessary sacrifices. This is why it is important to examine how much you drive and do the math.

You are probably going to be happier with a car that gets only 30 MPG but has a few more features than the smaller, more basic vehicle that gets 35MPG.

What do you need your car to do?

If you are transporting several people around regularly, figure out which vehicle will serve this purpose best while balancing out the other factors. Others have argued that minivans are probably the best choice for a people mover, but you may have other requirements as well. For example, if you have to tow something or move a lot of gear, a truck or SUV may work better.

On the flip side, if you pretty much drive solo with passengers occasionally, you can save money by getting a smaller vehicle.

Do you find yourself often driving to the river off-road?

If so, and AWD/4WD vehicle may be necessary. If most of your driving is on paved roads, then a two-wheel-drive vehicle is probably fine. Knowing how this vehicle needs to function in your environment with your practical considerations is crucial. Do not sacrifice function for features or fuel economy.

What are your must-have features?

The number of gadgets and gizmos available on modern cars is amazing but can also be overwhelming. You can get telematics systems that read your email to you and even give you traffic and weather alerts. Every ad touts the latest technology as “must-have.” This is especially true when it comes to some advanced safety features such as blind-spot monitoring and collision avoidance systems. While all these features are great, what do you really need?

Again this comes back to how much and how far you drive. If the majority of your commute is from home to work and around town, chances are you don’t need an expensive navigation unit. If you consider yourself a vigilant driver, you can probably save money and pass on those expensive electronics that pay attention to you.

HEMET CAR GUY: Drive your car!| Photo courtesy of Richard Perry What you should do is make a list of things you absolutely must-have. Personally, I could care less about heated seats, but a sunroof would be nice to have. Think about your day to day drive and what features would make that travel better.

What kind of driving/ownership experience do you want?

This one is tricky because it is incredibly personal. But it is important that you be really honest with yourself. Do you really want a street-legal go-kart on your 50-mile commute or would do you really need something that is relatively comfortable yet can still devour and exit ramp? Are you prepared for the inevitable maintenance costs of that bargain luxury car you got for the price of a Corolla or are you the type that really can’t be bothered with issues beyond basic maintenance? Are you concerned about your status and/or the assumptions that others may or may not have of you based on what you drive?

Does the vehicle match with your personality?

Remember, purchasing a car is not a logical process. We would like to think we bought something based on safety ratings, fuel economy, and practicality.

But we want something that looks nice, something that makes us feel good when we drive it, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Test drive the car!!!

I hear people say, “I don’t need to test drive it.”

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t buy shoes without trying them on first.

A great car on paper still can be the wrong car. A good test drive will allow you to nit-pick and find the little things that may hamper your enjoyment.If you want to avoid buying the wrong car, you have to be honest about your practical needs, your usage, the psychological baggage you impose on your vehicle, and above all your budget.

Hope this helps, The Hemet Car Guy

What to Know Before Replacing Home Windows (StatePoint) As with any home upgrade, a little research can help ensure a top-quality installation with the best materials on the market. Here are the most important factors to consider before purchasing replacement windows: • Energy Efficiency: Energy-efficient windows can keep utility bills in-check while helping manage climate control. Seek out the ENERGY STAR label, which indicates a product is energy efficient according to standards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.

• Test Specifications: All windows on the market are tested for their structural integrity, as well as their resistance to air and water. Investigating these ratings is important, particularly in regions that see wicked weather.

• Insulation: For maximum energy efficiency and comfort, look for new technologies such as Neopor insulation and INNERGY thermal reinforcements that deliver high-performance and meet ENERGY STAR certification standards.

Windows offered by ProVia, for example, include these features and are tested against the most stringent requirements for air and water infiltration, wind load resistance, ease of operation, forced entry and more.

• Material: Windows are available in such materials as vinyl, wood, aluminum

Horses for Healing - Part II RUSTY STRAIT | COLUMNIST

I

n Part I we endeavored to familiarize you with the origin and purpose of T.H.E. CENTER, and to delineate their everyday activities. I ran out of time and space to, as Paul Harvey used to say, give you “the rest of the story.”

What originally perked my interest in T.H.E. CENTER was a new program that has opened up to military veterans. Miguel Sarasa, my on-site host, showed an eagerness to fill me in. “The veterans’ program is still somewhat in its infancy,” he said. “We never had a military program in the past. When I started here I sought out ways to expand our services. We have a large population of military veterans in the Valley, many of whom are handicapped from wartime service who would benefit from a program that previously catered to mostly young people with handicaps and a few adults.”

I wondered if that included PTSD, a problem that surfaced during the Vietnam War and continues to plague combat returnees.

“Traumatic brain injuries, PTSD and a wide variety of challenges they deal with when they return home to their families.”

Military life of any variety is alien to those who haven’t experienced it - and that is totally outside understanding by civilians when it involves combat and war zones. I remember coming home from the South Pacific Theater following World War II. Military language doesn’t fit in at the dinner table. I asked my mother

to pass the butter - as we so often did in the mess hall and I can tell you she did not appreciate the manner in which I made my request. I still feel the sting of her slap across my mouth. Needless to say, I learned pretty fast the difference between military and civilian table talk. The recent Middle East conflicts have created a lot of similar problems.

“You also have to look at the components of the family dynamics today.”

The impact of 9/11 was different. December 7, 1941, was clearly an attack by another country.

September 11 was a cat with different claws. Pearl Harbor involved military bases and naval vessels.

9/11 hit us where we live - civilian workplaces.

Miguel said, “Daddy’s been gone for months or years. He comes home and what better way to build a relationship with your child or spouse than riding alongside by the side on horses?”

I wondered how that worked with their regular students. “It does, but with the military, we are re-uniting a veteran with a family they’ve not been around physically for a long time.”

I wanted to know how successful the veterans program has been. I expected there would have been an influx of applicants. Not so.

“Frankly, our veterans program is going forward at snail’s pace. We have the horses. We have the manpower. However, for some reason, the vets are not participating.”

Any idea why?

“Reluctance perhaps.

Truthfully I can’t say for sure. It is still such a new program. Even though

we market it through the proper channels, veterans seem not to be aware for some reason. There is no charge to veterans. Plus which, one other family member or friend is permitted to accompany the vet at no cost, so that he or she can be riding along with someone with whom they are familiar.

“The veterans program deals with interpersonal skills and being able to communicate in a different environment.

Working with a horse and being able to learn horsemanship skills, such as the tacking process and becoming familiar with saddles and the maintenance of the animals and overall riding techniques is rewarding.

“Sitting on a horse for an hour once a week helps one to sort of escape the mind problems of everyday life; bills, family misunderstandings and that sort of thing. It becomes a meditation process. When you are on that horse relaxing and spending time together, it is easy to develop a comradeship with the animal.”

What kind of feedback is he getting from current enrollees?

“Hard to tell exactly because we don’t have any vets involved as yet. “ Does he think they are shy?

“Don’t know exactly,” he says. “There is some hesitation because they really have to let their guard down; become vulnerable. Whereas, in the military, they are trained to do everything for themselves; now, they are challenged. Having been taught to be soldiers, partnering up with these large creatures that just want you to love them is a traumatic change of

pace.”

Miguel says they have reached out to all the veteran groups: V.F.W., AMERICAN LEGION and through social media. “I hope that your story will give us the added publicity we need to encourage more of them to come forward.”

Although the veterans program is in its infancy, the facility has a long history of accomplishments.

There is a large ring area where the horses parade about in an oval pattern.

“That’s The Lydia Genders Arena,” he explains.

“A pre-teener, confined to a wheelchair with various disabilities. She was our very first student.”

I did not know that the place was founded by someone whose family is well-known throughout the Valley. “Theresa Wilhelm, the young woman whose idea this place was, never lived to see it come to be what it is now.

A little area with benches is known as Theresa Wilhelm Founder’s Park. She passed in 2002 of breast cancer, but her daughter, Tara, keeps in touch.”

Along a mile-long trail on the backside of the acreage, I was introduced to “Sensory Trail,” a rather new addition to the property, composed of twenty different activity stations along the way where students are able to perform while riding through on a horse. “This project came into being due to a generous $10,000 donation from the Soboba Foundation. Rose Salgado, Andrew Vallehos and Sully Ortese from the reservation have been very kind to us.”

T.H.E. CENTER holds several events throughout the year as a means to draw the community

in. I asked Miguel who takes care of the nine-acre place. “Glad you asked.

Mostly through the time and financial assistance volunteered. Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to operate. This is a large facility.”

No joke. Within the nine acres, there are also nine pastures, ten horses, a pony and miniature donkey. “The horses must be exercised regularly and maintained in healthy conditions. Our barn manager is amazing. Also, we have a great volunteer Veterinarian, Dr. Crowley from Anza who comes down regularly to check out the animals and will come anytime there is an emergency.”

I doubt ordinary people, not privileged to be involved, have any idea some of the duties required to keep the place in what I might call “ranch shape.”

“Our cleanup crew does an amazing job. Also, three people are required to maintain safety during a lesson: A lead rope to make sure the horse is paying attention and not deciding to goof off; aside walker on each side of the horse to maintain the safety of students.”

Knowing the importance of volunteers and the nature of the work required, I imagined that most volunteers are younger. “We would welcome older volunteers, but most are younger because they seem to be more interested in the physical aspects and more capable in some instances. Horses are large and need a strong hand.”

He says, “we are accepting more older volunteers because there are other needs around the place.

For instance, working in

the office, grant writing and procuring other volunteers.

“We were without a patio, so it was often too cold, too rainy or too hot to be outside with certain activities. Thanks to the Community Christian Church that has been remedied. The two front buildings and patio were donated by them. That allows us to have an indoor activity called a ‘ground lesson,’ where students learn about horsemanship skills in a classroom environment.”

If you’ve never been out to T.H.E. CENTER, you ought to try it. It isn’t hard to find. Drive south on Girard Street. Before the street starts up the hill to the Ramona Bowl, you’ll see the black and white sign with T.H.E. CENTER in bold letters.

Go participate in some of their events or be a spectator and see what a wonderful effect these activities have on kids and adults alike, some of whom would perhaps have no social life, stuck in a room in a wheelchair or confined in other ways due to physical or mental disabilities.

To see a handicapped child, riding high on a horse, crying out, “Mama, look at me. I’m a jockey,” with a smile as wide as the noon-day sun is worth more than gold to the parent who might think to his or her self, “That could be my child.”

And to all you veterans who need something as wonderful as this step up to the plate. This might be the very thing you’ve been looking for in your life.

Perhaps I’ll see you there sometime. I hope so. Just sayin’ rustystrait@gmail.com

Growing up hillbilly Chapter XIII - “Read all about it!”

RUSTY STRAIT | COLUMNIST

A

fter my father deserted us, my life alternated between city and farm until I started to school in 1932, a year best known for the Great Depression and election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the 32nd President of the United States.

According to Grandma Mr. Hoover had all but destroyed the country and Mr. Roosevelt was going to put it back together. It was also the year I started school and began to take an interest in what was going on outside my own little world. The only close friends I’d had were inside our family, mainly my cousin Bill.

Grandma and Mama talked about how bad off everybody was but that didn’t register much in my young brain. I was more interested in my crystal radio set and listening to ball games out of KDKA Pittsburgh with Grandpa. Being poor didn’t mean we were different because as far as I knew the whole world must be poor. I knew how to count before I started school, so I had no problem signing up for The Daily Mail as a street salesman for the afternoon paper.

The Gazette was published early in the morning and Grandma said I was too young to be passing morning papers. Besides, she insisted that I go to school, but I could sell newspapers in the afternoons without interfering with the rest of my day.

“Read all about it,” became a mantra for me and with my tousled blond hair and beaming smile, I became a hit on Capitol Street in front of the U. S. Post Office, a bulky concrete structure several stories up which later became the Charleston Public Library. It was a sweet spot because the post office was a busy place.

Nobody told me I could take up residence there, I saw that nobody else was hawking papers on the block a n d sort of to ok it over.

During my first year

there, I had a couple of scrapes with kids who tried to muscle in on me, but I knew a good thing and never hesitated to defend my territory, even if I ended up with a black eye or bloody nose. I got respect, not because I was a born fighter, but because I didn’t care if I got bloodied. No bully was going to push me around.

Once word got around that I wasn’t afraid to fight back, they left me alone.

One year I read something about a man who fell into a lake up in Canada in February and lost his voice. It wasn’t long before I was emulating the poor guy. “Pa ah, Mi her?” became my mantra and believe me, it sure helped sell a lot of Daily Mails.

Once a man stopped to buy a paper and asked me, “What happened to you son? Have you always been tongue-tied?”

I had no idea what that meant, so I said, “Ah au mos dihd ‘n uh aak.”

“You were swimming?”

“Uh uh. Fawyd ‘n. ‘N Canda.”

And so it went. My trade grew as did my tale. I managed to weave a sorry picture of a young boy who got dumped out of a rowboat in the middle of winter while on vacation with my family in a lake north of Toronto in Canada.

Who vacations in Canada in the middle of January? You wouldn’t believe how gullible people can be. Not one person ever complained or disbelieved me. Of course, a couple of years later, I suddenly got my voice back and explained it as some miracle from God. As I grew older, I took on a Gazette paper route, which meant I had to be at the sub-station no later than four in the morning to fold and bag my papers. I had a bike by then and threw papers from a basket attached to the handle-bars. I still hustled the afternoon papers at the post office.

Tossing newspapers at five in the morning is risky business. People let their dogs run loose and all too many times my feet peddled so fast I barely outdistanced a bulldog or ferocious German shepherd.

I finally gave up on newspapers when, in 1937, Charleston’s first drive-in restaurant opened in a vacant field on West Washington Street within walking distance from our house at 812 Bigley Avenue. A classmate became one of their first employees. One day he stopped by the house to boast of his good luck.

“Raymond, I’ll bet you’d get a job if you talked to the manager. He’s a neat guy and he’s still hiring.”

“I don’t know,” I said. “What kind of work is it?”

“You’d be a carhop, like me.”

“What’s a carhop?”

“You serve food on a tray to people sitting in their cars. You’d love it. I caught on right away.”

“How do you serve trays of food to a car?”

“They’re not like regular trays,” added.

“They’re metal and clip on to the window. I mean when the window is wound down these trays clip over the door. I could show you. It’s easy. And you get tips.”

I knew all about tips because most of mom’s money came from tips. “How much does it pay?”

“Ten cents an hour, but you’ll make three times that much in tips. Think about it. Sixteen to twenty dollars a week. You ain’t never made that much money hawkin’ papers, and you don’t have to get up at four in the morning.”

That part appealed to me. The next day I put in my application and Pete, the manager, hired me without asking much about my experience, which did not exist. I soon learned why. He liked boys my age for something besides car hopping. He taught me how to hop in bed with him. I wasn’t alone. All the other boys went through the same ritual. Only one wouldn’t do it. He lasted a week and then got the axe. There were no laws in those days to cover that kind of conduct. You had the option of agreeing or finding another job.

who was unauthorized to speak publicly, negotiations are not yet final. But the suggestion that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige may not produce future live-action “Spider-Man” movies and that the character itself might not appear in any more Marvel Cinematic Universe films quickly turned into a trending topic.

Sony has held the rights to the Marvel character since 1985, but in 2015, announced a partnership with Disney and Marvel that

would allow Spider-Man to be used in MCU films like “Avengers: Endgame.”

It also allowed for Feige to serve as a producer on stand-alone “Spider-Man” movies like “Far From Home.”

The crossovers have been well-received by audiences and critics. And the teenage web-slinger has been made into a central component in the MCU with a close relationship to Tony Stark that drove the story lines in both “Endgame” and “Far From Home.”

But as Marvel enters its “Phase 4,” Spider-Man also has no official MCU appearances planned.

Two standalone “Spider-Man” movies are, however, reportedly in the works from Sony which would bring back director Jon Watts and star Tom Holland.

Sony has also created its own web of Spider-Man spinoffs, including the Oscar-winning animated feature “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” and “Venom.”

Representatives from the two studios did not respond to requests for comment.

HOROSCOPES August 23, 2019 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Be careful not to allow the backers of a new financial “deal” to pull the wool over the Lamb’s eyes. It could hold fewer plusses and more negatives than you were first led to believe.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good idea to finish all incomplete tasks so that you can devote your attention to next week’s projects. The weekend could hold surprises for romantic Fernandas and Ferdinands.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A workplace suggestion you made a while ago that you might have forgotten could come back with a request to turn it from idea to reality. Your social life picks up considerably this weekend.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Someone from the past could return with an intriguing opportunity for a future project. Check into it, by all means. But don’t neglect your current responsibilities in the meantime.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Keeping your claws sheathed and using good humor instead to counter someone who’s bad-mouthing the Big Cat isn’t easy. But it’s the best way to avoid more problems down the line.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A workplace situation could improve if you’re less critical and more supportive of those who are, after all, trying to do their best. Let them know you’re there to help when necessary.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A new job offer might not carry all the benefits you’re seeking. Make sure

you know what you’re entitled to, what is off the table and what is negotiable before you make a decision.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A social obligation you would rather get out of could hold some surprisingly positive aspects. Why not go and see for yourself? A family member makes a curious request.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Before tackling that new project awaiting you at home or on the job, take time out for some much-deserved pampering to help lift your spirits and restore your energy levels.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your social calendar begins to fill up more quickly than you expected. And that’s great. You deserve to enjoy some good fun after so much time spent on serious matters.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A domestic situation continues to improve, thanks to all the tender, loving concern you’ve shown. A colleague makes a questionable move that you might want to check out sooner rather than later.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A sudden turn in a romantic relationship calls for both a rational and passionate response. Keep the love level high, but also find out why the problem arose in the first place.

BORN THIS WEEK: You often set high standards for others. But to your credit, you set the same expectations for yourself.

Planned Parenthood en crisis ante nuevas normas de Trump

L

a organización de planificación familiar Planned Parenthood está cobrando más, usando sus ahorros, intensificando sus campañas de recaudación y advirtiendo sobre más embarazos indeseados y enfermedades sexuales como consecuencia de nuevas normas adoptadas por el gobierno de Donald Trump.

Las nuevas normas, que le prohibían a Planned Parenthood aconsejar a mujeres sobre abortos a riesgo de perder financiamiento público, llevaron a la organización a renunciar a ese financiamiento y salirse de un programa federal que le otorgaba 260 millones de dólares.

Las consecuencias son particularmente graves en Utah, donde Planned Parenthood era la única entidad que ofrecía asistencia de planificación familiar bajo el programa federal Título X. En ese estado la organización perderá unos 2 millones de dólares anualmente, que ayudaban a unas 39.000 personas, en su mayoría pobres y carentes de seguro médico. Planea seguir ofreciendo servicios como métodos anticonceptivos, pruebas de enfermedades sexuales y pruebas de cáncer, pero podría cobrar una modesta tarifa en vez de hacerlo gratis como antes.

Una situación similar ha surgido en Minnesota, donde Planned Parenthood ayuda al 90% de las personas que reciben asistencia del Título X. Allí también, la organización empezar a cobrar, pues ha perdido 2,6 millones de dólares anuales.

La organización teme que la nueva situación provocará una crisis de embarazos no deseados y enfermedades sexuales.

“Creemos que habrá una crisis de salud pública debido a la negativa del gobierno de dar asistencia”, explicó Sarah Stoesz, presidenta de la división centro-norte de Planned Parenthood.

“Son momentos muy tristes para el país”.

Planned Parenthood y otras organizaciones se

retiraron del programa oficial, en vez de acatar la nueva norma que le prohibía referir a mujeres a abortos.

Los republicanos, especialmente los sectores cristianos evangelistas que se oponen al aborto en toda circunstancia, desde hace años han exigido “quitarle fondos a Planned Parenthood”.

Planned Parenthood ofrece múltiples servicios de salud femenina, pero uno de ellos es el aborto, y los religiosos dicen que el programa federal constituía un subsidio.

Unas 4 millones de mujeres reciben asistencia del programa Título X, que conforma una porción de Planned Parenthood mucho mayor que los abortos. Pero la organización dice que no podría adherirse a las nuevas normas porque les haría imposible a sus médicos hacer su trabajo.

Mindy Dotson, una madre soltera en Utah, empezó a ir a Planned Parenthood porque no podía pagar sus tratamientos médicos por una infección vaginal. Los servicios se le hicieron vitales cuando tuvo que dejar su seguro médico porque no podía pagar la póliza.

Actualmente Dotson no sabe qué hará si no puede ir a Planned Parenthood.

“Esto sería muy peligroso para mí”, dijo Dotson, quien trabaja como asistente ejecutiva de una empresa financiera. “Planned Parenthood ofrece tantos servicios: pruebas de enfermedades sexuales, anticonceptivos, pruebas de cáncer... lo que se te ocurra, ellos me han ayudado”.

Planned Parenthood insiste en que hará lo posible por mantener sus servicios en Utah, pero la directora ejecutiva Karrie Galloway reconoce que no será fácil y “habrá sacrificios de todas partes”.

Añadió que la organización dependerá de donantes mientras el personal evalúa la situación y toma medidas de emergencia. Entre

62% de estadounidenses desaprueban a Trump STEVE PEOPLES Y HANNAH FINGERHUT | AP

S

eis de cada 10 estadounidenses desaprueban en general la labor del presidente Donald Trump, de acuerdo con una encuesta difundida el jueves por The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, que halló que algunos apoyan la forma como el mandatario maneja la economía de Estados Unidos pero le dan bajas calificaciones en otros temas importantes.

Sólo 36% de los estadounidenses aprueban el trabajo de Trump como presidente y 62% lo desaprueban.

Los números podrían parecer malos para un mandatario que en 14 meses buscará reelegirse por primera vez, pero son notablemente congruentes. La tasa de aprobación de Trump nunca ha sido menor a 32% ni superior a 42% en los sondeos de AP-NORC desde que asumió el cargo. En comparación, la aprobación del presidente Barack Obama nunca bajó de 40% en los sondeos de Gallup.

Las malas calificaciones de Trump se extienden al manejo de varios temas clave: migración, atención médica, política exterior y armas.

Las opiniones de cómo maneja la economía el presidente republicano siguen siendo un punto relativamente positivo a pesar de los temores de una posible recesión, pero al menos el 60% de los estadounidenses desaprueba su desempeño en otros asuntos. La congruencia indica que la posición débil del presidente con el pueblo está calcificada después de dos años de crisis políticas casi constantes, declaraciones escandalosas y retórica divisiva en la Casa Blanca.

La nueva encuesta se realizó poco después de los tiroteos masivos consecutivos en Texas y Ohio que dejaron decenas de muertos y nuevos llamados de la gente para obtener respuestas de sus funcionarios electos. Trump prometió

Él hace cualquier cosa que tenga expediente político. Es horrible”, dijo Robert Saunders, un policía jubilado de 60 años que vive en Nueva Jersey.

De acuerdo con el sondeo, 36% aprueba la política de armas de Trump y 61% la desaprueba. Más allá de las armas, el presidente sigue siendo popular en su partido.

Casi 8 de cada 10 republicanos aprueban el desempeño general de Trump, mientras que el 20% lo desaprueba. Como ha sido el caso de toda su presidencia, los demócratas se oponen a su liderazgo, con un 94%. En tanto, dos tercios de los independientes lo desaprueban.

En el caso de la economía, 46% de los estadounidenses aprueban y el 51% desaprueban la labor de Trump en este rubro.

La encuesta AP-NORC a 1.058 adultos se realizó del 15 al 19 de agosto utilizando una muestra extraída del Panel AmeriSpeak representativa de la población estadounidense. El margen de error es de más/menos 4,2 puntos porcentuales.

Testamento de Epstein crea problemas para presuntas víctimas CURT ANDERSON | AP

E

l testamento que Jeffrey Epstein firmó sólo dos días antes de suicidarse en su celda de cárcel guarda más de 577 millones en bienes en un fondo fiduciario, lo que dificultaría el cobro de beneficios por daños y perjuicios por decenas de personas que lo acusan.

Abogados especialistas en fideicomisos y otros expertos dicen que no va a ser fácil ver qué hay en el fondo fiduciario y dividir los bienes, y esto podría tomar años. Éste es el último acto de la manipulación del sistema que hizo Epstein, aun después de muerto”, dijo Jennifer Freeman, quien

las posibilidades son cobrar pagos de entre 10 y 15 dólares por visita, reducir el horario laboral y recortar gastos. No piensa que habrá despidos, pero probablemente no podrá reemplazar a quienes renuncien o se jubilen.

También en Minnesota, Planned Parenthood está considerando la posibilidad de cobrar.

“Seguiremos ofreciendo todos los servicios y seguiremos manteniendo abiertas las puertas, pero empezaremos a cobrar según la posibilidad de cada quien, aunque antes no cobrábamos”, recalcó Stoesz. “La población vulnerable que antes podía recibir métodos anticonceptivos y pruebas de enfermedad sexual gratis, ahora no podrán”.

En otras partes, el impacto de los recortes de Planned Parenthood variará de un estado a otro.

Los gobiernos locales en algunos de los estados -- como Hawaii, Illinois, Nueva York y Vermont -- dicen que tratarán de

representa víctimas de abuso sexual de menores.

Epstein, de 66 años, se quitó la vida el 10 de agosto en Nueva York mientras esperaba su juicio por cargos federales de tráfico sexual. El descubrimiento de su testamento con su recién creado Fondo Fiduciario 1953, el año de su nacimiento, de inmediato creó la sospecha de que lo hizo para esconder su dinero de las muchas mujeres que dicen que él las abusó sexualmente cuando eran adolescentes.

Al poner su fortuna en un fondo fiduciario, escondió de la vista pública a los beneficiarios, sean individuos, organizaciones u otras entidades. Para las mujeres que están tratando de cobrar beneficios reemplazar al menos parte de los fondos federales.

En los estados del sur el impacto será leve porque Planned Parenthood no ofrecía allí programas del Título X. La directora de la sección de Planned Parenthood en el noroeste y Hawaii, afirmó que el sur de Idaho podría verse afectado debido a que unas 1.000 mujeres de bajos ingresos en la zona de Twin Falls no podrán recibir atención médica.

“Este no es el tipo de dinero que simplemente puede recaudarse con ayuda de donantes”, explicó Gibron. “Hay que pagar el alquiler, hay que pagar sueldos ... hay límites a lo que podemos hacer en cuanto a atención médica gratuita si no tenemos el programa Título X”.

Añadió que el estado de Washington estaban consultando con el gobierno local para establecer “un fondo de emergencia”, a fin de mantener en funcionamiento más de 20 clínicas que ayudan a unas 90.000 personas.

“Haremos todo lo posible para prestar la misma atención médica, pero sabemos que esto no

Otra entidad que tuvo que retirarse del programa Título X es Maine Family Planning, que asiste a unos 23.000 pacientes al año y que perderá unos 1,8 millones de dólares anuales. Su director ejecutivo, George Hill, dijo que la organización usará sus reservas e intensificará su recaudación de donaciones al tiempo que le pedirá asistencia a las autoridades estatales.

Anticipando los cambios, los demócratas en Nuevo Hampshire agregaron 3,2 millones de dólares en el presupuesto estatal para compensar por la pérdida de fondos federales. Sin embargo, ello está en el limbo, ya que el gobernador Chris Sununu (republicano) vetó el presupuesto por otras razones.

Crary reportó desde Nueva York. Contribuyeron a este reportaje los corresponsales de la AP Brady McCombs en Salt Lake City; Patrick Whittle en Portland, Maine; Holly Ramer en Concord, Nuevo Hampshire; y Rebecca Boone en Boise.

De allí, las mujeres tendrán que seguir lo que hubiera sido el proceso normal en el caso de que no

hubiera un fondo fiduciario: convencer al juez de que ellas tienen derecho a una compensación como

víctimas de crímenes sexuales. El juez tendría que decidir cuánto cobraría cada una y si debería reducir esas cantidades para tener en cuenta a los beneficiarios del testamento de Epstein, que también tendrían derechos en corte.

“La gente rica generalmente intenta esconder bienes en fondos fiduciarios u otras maquinaciones legales. Creo que la corte y sus administradores van a querer hacer lo correcto por las víctimas de Epstein, y si no, pelearemos por la justicia que deberían de haber recibido desde hace mucho”, dijo a través de un mensaje electrónico Lisa Bloom, quien representa a varias de las acusadoras de Epstein.
