Hemet Coach puts hands on San Jacinto Player during game KYLE HEADLEE | STAFF WRITER

O

n October 19th, 2019, the last Battle of the Bell (for the foreseeable future) was played at Hemet High Stadium. Even though this was a rivalry game and was expected to be "chippy" based on the pregame antics of both schools, there's no excuse for what happened that night on the field. Early in the first quarter Kajiya Hollawayne (San Jacinto’s quarterback) scrambled out of the pocket to the right side of the field (towards Hemet’s sideline). Hollawayne was tackled out of bounds and was quickly surrounded by Hemet players. Hollawayne claims that players were, “Stomping me out” while on the ground. His offensive lineman rushed into the pile to pull him out. Junior center Nimo Alo was one of the first San Jacinto Tigers on the side to pull his quarterback to safety. While in the pile, Alo claims that a Hemet Coach

punched him in the jaw. This is what he said about the play, “Kajiya was running and I was following him. As he got towards their sideline Frankie (Frankie Castillo, cornerback from Hemet High) tackled him out of bounds. I fell over both of them. As I was trying to get up, someone was pushing my head down and I looked towards that direction and I saw the coach's shoes. I know it was the coach because the players wear cleats, not sneakers. Then things started to get heated with me and Frankie…”

Apparently, things got very heated. “...Then I seen the coach's arm wrap around Frankie. Then the coach swung and hit me in the jaw.

After we got separated, another coach just pushed me away. And if you watch the video, as I was walking away, the guy in the red (later identified as Will Dunn), said something like ‘Watch who you're messing with MotherF*****," but

COMMUNITY NEWS

I’m positive he also said ‘Control yourself you dirty s***," and other negative things to me. All I was trying to do was get up but if he didn’t push me down, the whole problem wouldn’t have escalated.”

Video has been obtained and enlarged, and you can clearly see the coach put his hands on Nimo Alo. It’s hard to tell if it's a push or a punch, but either way, he is making contact with the San Jacinto player in an aggressive manner. Several players and sideline reporters also saw the coach, at minimum, shove Nimo Alo. Iseiya Serrano (San Jacinto Lineman) was standing right next to Alo when the incident took place, “I was running down to help my quarterback as well as my center, and as I was helping them up, the Hemet coach took a shot at his (Alo's) face and then Hemet players joined in.

We pulled out our players but then we got flagged for it," said Iseiya Serrano about the incident.

The following is taken directly from the CIF rule book & coaches handbook: “Disrespectful Conduct — Seek to control the conduct of parents/guardians, spectators, coaches and players to prevent negative cheers, name-calling, insults, drinking or any other conduct inconsistent with a positive atmosphere of character development. Use proper authority to assure that rules against profanity, trash talking, taunting, arguing calls and other forms of bad sportsmanship are consistently and strictly enforced. Where appropriate, direct those responsible for game management to exercise control over spectators, bands and spirit groups.� “Self-Control — Exercise and demand self control. Do not fight, scream or otherwise demonstrate uncontrolled anger or frustration. Do not permit players, coaches or spectators to display inappropriate anger.� “PHYSICAL ASSAULT CIF State Constitution, Article 5, Section 522," states: "Any student who physically assaults the person of a game or event official shall be banned from interscholastic

A game or event official is defined as a referee, umpire or any other official assigned to interpret or enforce rules competition at an event. A student may, after a lapse of 18 calendar months from the date of the incident, apply for reinstatement of eligibility to the State CIF Commissioner. For this document, the Southern Section also includes coaches, administrators or other school personnel assigned to the contests or games as a game official.�

It’s important to note that all "Code of Conduct" policies apply to both players and coaches through CIF regulations. There is supposed to be no physical contact in an aggressive manner to players whether they are on your team or another team.

Hemet Unified School

District’s Official Statement on 10/20/2019 is as follows: “Hemet High staff is working with San Jacinto’s staff to get a statement from the student who was involved and the Hemet resource officer is going to begin investigating the situation first thing Monday morning. HUSD doesn’t condone violence of any kind and we are working hard to make sure this situation gets resolved.� No further comment has been made by the school or district.

SJUSD's spokesperson Dawn Lawrence released this statement: "We are going to trust the process and hope that Hemet High takes a good look at the event, and the statement of the players, and makes a fair judgment.

We understand that there is only one view of the video at this time and that it can be hard to see what really took place, but we trust that Hemet High and The Hemet Unified School District will make the right decision in the matter."

We will have to wait for the CIF governing board to review the footage and hear the accounts of the players to find out what kind of action will be taken to prevent this from happening in the future. Nimo Alo was simply playing the game he loved, and didn’t deserve to be assaulted the way he was. There is no room for actions like this in High School Sports.

“The time and the hard work invested in the tournament makes a positive impact on so many people in the San Jacinto Valley.�

Isaiah Vivanco serves as Soboba Tribal Council Vice Chairman and member at large for the Soboba Foundation. He was joined by the foundation’s Vice President, Dondi Silvas, at the ceremony. “This is a great moment for us because it allows us to really see how the golf tournament funding impacts our community,� Vivanco said. “It’s an event we like to do and seeing it pay off like this,

benefits us as well. We work on the tournament for four months and it’s rewarding to know the funds are being put to good use.�

Silvas was a Girl Scout in the 1970s and was impressed with the advances that Girl Scouting has made since that time. “I think we just sold cookies and got badges for camping and sewing,� Silvas said. “To see the hard work this group put into this project is really great.�

A plaque to honor Soboba’s contribution will be displayed at the Hemet Scout House as a reminder of the tribe’s dedication to the community. Knea Hawley, Vice President of Develop-

ment for the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council, was grateful the group was chosen as a recipient. The Scout House, which serves girls ages 5 to 17, was last updated in the mid-1970s. This phase of renovation concentrated on planting native, drought-tolerant plants in the front yard, installing durable flooring and adding a fresh coat of paint indoors. “Support from the golf tournament enabled Girl Scouts in the San Jacinto Valley to earn their Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) badges,� Hawley said. “This funding made it possible for Girl Scouts to improve the aesthetics and put their own stamp on their

A GREAT CAUSE

Taking steps to combat a stigma NAMI's NAMIwalks seeks greater awareness for mental illness issues MARK LENTINE | CONTRIBUTED

“NAMIWalks is NAMI’s (National Alliance on Mental Illness) largest and most successful mental health awareness and fundraising event. In 2018, 80 NAMIwalks events raised nearly $11 million to support local programs and initiatives that improve the lives of persons affected by mental illness.�

So says the NAMIWalks brochure for the NAMIwalks event taking place October 26 at the Diamond Valley Lake Marina, 2615 Angler Avenue, Hemet.

But NAMI and its NAMIWalks is more than fun events and fundraising— much more. Brenda Scott NAMI-San Jacinto Executive Director says it’s about raising awareness of mental heath issues, and about bringing mental health and wellness out of the shadows.

And Brenda Scott speaks from experience. “When I was 14, my mother died by suicide. As her children, we were all stunned, but nobody talked about it. Later on my brother Bryan, who began self-medicating by taking drugs to cope with his problems, also died by suicide. When my son was 6, I started to see some behaviors that were concerning. It was at a doctor's office, completely by chance, that I picked up a NAMI brochure. The NAMI classes were immensely helpful in the process of recovery for my son. I’m happy and thankful to say my son is doing fine, but we must bring greater awareness to this issue and work on eliminating the stigma associated with mental health," says Scott.

As Scott took more classes with NAMI she got a job with the county as a family

advocate and then she began teaching NAMI classes: she worked for various NAMI programs and eventually the program was able to hire her as Executive Director. 14 years ago Scott became the first manager of the NAMIWalks Inland Empire walk. “Our goal this year is to raise $100,000.00. As of October 17 we have 68 teams with 500 participants and we are at 65% of our goal,� says an excited Scott.

As for the future, Scott says the goal remains the same: “To continue to raise awareness of mental health issues in the community and to reduce the stigma of mental health issues.�

Those interested in donating to NAMI, starting a NAMIWalks team, or volunteering to aid in NAMI’s important mission may do so by contacting Brenda Scott at namiwalksinlandempire@ gmail.com

Scout House.�

Girl Scout Camryn Bailey also addressed the crowd at the ribbon-cutting. She has been a member of Troop 2412 for the past eight years with her twin sister, Kaelyn.

Their mom, Ami Bailey, is a troop leader. “Project Sparkle was created a few years ago when my fellow Girl Scouts and I were doing a journey called ‘Get Moving,’ said Camryn Bailey, 14. “We wanted to go water-wise that year because we were in a severe drought and it was really important for us to save water and help our environment. When we realized that the cost was too high, we installed motion-sensing lights in the two bathrooms

and the kitchen to save energy, and ‘Project Sparkle’ was put on the back burner.�

She said in the three years since their first designs were done, the girls have used the project as a stepping stone to help them earn their Gold Awards. “The Girl Scout house has been valuable to our troop and our scouting experience, so it was very important for us to make sure that other girls can enjoy it as we do, for many years to come,� Bailey continued. “In order for this to happen, the Scout House needed to look inviting and be a source of pride.�

Mystik Hamby has also been a Girl Scout since her mother, Melissa Spurling,

became Troop 2412’s leader eight years ago. “The project was hard work but also a lot of fun,� said Mystik, 14, who sang the National Anthem at the ceremony. “We spent the final day putting all the finishing touches on the house, making sure everything was ready for today.�

Troop member Maya Keys said, “It warmed my heart to have a little girl come up to me today and tell me she loves the new house and what we’ve done.�

Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council Troop 2412 members are Camryn Bailey, Kaelyn Bailey, Kristyn Graham, Mystik Hamby, Reagan Harich and Maya Keys.

comes to the work ethic.

During an hour long interview as we sat gazing out the window of a secluded house on the far east end of Acacia Avenue, a place once occupied by his deceased parents...we talked about his life while late afternoon birds chirped in the greenery outside. I turned on the recorder as this gentle giant of a man related a story that should impress any young American as a "firstborn" on American soil of immigrants newly arrived from Germany. ‘”I was born in Hemet Hospital on Monday April 11, 1955, 2 and one half hours after April Sunday. I was the first of two born in America out of 7 children.

My parents were immigrants from Germany. Dad was a baker at the resort in Murrieta Hot Springs.”

Conrad attended a small school in French Valley and later went to School in Winchester. He was in the first graduating class of the then new High School located at Stanford and Stetson in Hemet. “‘I grew up in a family rather poor in finances but rich in dignity and integrity.

My father died in 1998 and my mother in 2007. They were wonderful people. As a youngster I didn’t appreciate how they struggled to keep the family fed and housed but as I grew older I learned to appreciate just how really remarkable they were.”

Conrad did not have it easy himself. At the age of 12 he began working on his uncle’s farm in French Valley.

“I spent 7 summers doing a man’s work. I was on a pulltype harvester, the header-tender. That first summer I made $140 and it was like I’d broke the mint. It was heavy work. During Christmas vacations I generally learned how to do the work of a grown farm hand.

“I graduated high school

in 1973 during the late years of Richard Nixon as president when we suffered price rises and gas rationing. It was tough times. My parents really struggled to make a living: seemed like every day a new price tag went on the grocery shelves. New stickers on the shelves with prices always higher, not lower. I realized we were poor. I made up my mind that wasn’t going to happen to me.”

In 1976 he moved to Germany to work as a welder. He had family there and as he says, they welcomed him like royalty. “I was an American citizen and that really meant something!"

“I worked in a machine shop for 18 months. Although I was never what you call a ‘papered’ machinist I could weld and do other machine shop work along with those who were. While I was in Germany, I enlisted in the United States Army and was sent back to Fort Knox, Kentucky to take my basic training. I served my four year hitch and then it took me five years to finally become employed at the Hemet Post Office. I remember my first pay check. It was for one week and the amount was $503. For the first time I sported four new tires on the truck I was driving at the time. My next pay check was a regular two weeks pay and every two weeks thereafter.

It was like riding the gravy train for me. One of the first things I did was make sure my parents rent was cut in half. I did everything I could to help them, remembering how hard they struggled to feed, house and clothe me.”

He began work in the back room of the post office and worked there and eventually was trained to work at the front desk.

“I worked the front counter at Acacia for 20 years,. I remember the lines being out the door and I’d often be the only one servicing them. It seemed that my fellow workers were on breaks that took

as long as lunch breaks.. But my job was to do my job, not theirs.”

He moved down to the Yale Sub-station in November 2005.

“I worked with some very wonderful people over the years, only one that I did not get along with very well. I believe he may have had some mental problems," jConrad laughs, adding, "My favorite customers were the little old ladies. They have been so wonderful to me. There aren’t as many of them around anymore,. I’ve seen a tremendous exodus in retirements, deaths or moving away,” How many postmasters has he endured??

“Oh, my god. Innumerable, More than thirty I would guess. They don’t last long here in Hemet. Our postal system here has never been accused of being well-run.

One of them, I won’t mention his last name but I believe they called him Mike, absolutely blew the chance we had to take over the old WalMart building across from the Hemet Valley Mall.

The deal was set to go when, at the last minute he dropped the ball and we lost it. There may have been some political involvement I don’t know, but it had plenty of access for parking trucks, employees vehicles and customer parking.”

Does he feel sad about moving on?

“Not really. It is not like I’m going to a retirement home or anything like that.

I’m active with my wife in her work and I have charities and community events that I am involved in. No, I’m going to do just fine and enjoy life, not just retirement."

Conrad is a self-made individual who had the opportunity to live the American dream and hopped aboard the dream train that it would well behoove some of those living on the streets to take advantage of. Just sayin. rustystraiat@gmail.com

BATTLE OF THE BELL

This Historic Rivalry Comes To An End... Again KYLE HEADLEE| STAFF WRITER

A

tradition that has taken place in our two towns as long as anyone can remember. The Battle of the Bell, where Hemet High takes on San Jacinto High in a cross town rivalry game. This year the JV game was played at San Jacinto and the Freshman played at Hemet. There was a lot of talk between the players leading up to the game. Most of them are childhood friends who spent their juvenile years playing together. San Ja-

cinto hasn’t lost to a local team in the last five years and they were bent on continuing that winning streak.

The JV team dominated their matchup on Thursday afternoon (20-6), which would be their first win of the season. The Freshman team handled business Friday (48-14) just hours before the varsity game.

Before the battle of the Bell took place Hemet celebrated their Senior night where they honored their teammates who would play in their final home game in the season. The seniors posed for pictures

with their family members and took pictures together.

When the ceremony was over, it was time for the Bulldogs to get to work.

San Jacinto was back to receive the ball to open the game. Senior kicker Asaiah Aguilar kicked the ball straight to San Jacinto Tigers senior receiver Antoine Sullivan. Antoine snatched the ball out of mid-air made one cut and turned on the jets. Antoine flew down the sidelines and there was no chance that a Bulldog was going to catch him. Antoine cashed that return in for 6 points.

The game was very chippy, fans in the stand kept egging each other on with chants. San Jacinto’s running back Juan Denny decided to quiet does the crowd and ran a touchdown in. it didn’t help the situation too much, Hemet’s stands started to boo louder at the Tigers. The tigers wouldn’t have much success on the next drive. A couple of flags for unsportsmanlike conduct would walk them back to the endzone.

There was a bad snap on a Tigers punt attempt which would result in a safety for the Bulldogs. The Bulldogs would return the ball and get a couple of first downs.

The drive would end in a

San Jacinto’s defense came out in the second half determined to shut down Hemet. And they did just that, for the rest of the game Hemet would be under the constant pressure of Sheldon Newton and Mahe Hamala. The two big guys coming down the middle would isolate Hemet’s run game while San Jacinto’s defensive backs Kameron Rocha and Keith Hunter

eliminated the pass game.

San Jacinto would get in the endzone one more time (A run from Kelvin Davis) and the game would finish with a score of 5-28.

Player of the Game goes to the whole defense who kept Hemet High under 200 all purpose yards, they also had one interception, two pass deflections, and multiple sacks/quarterback hurry ups.

Coach Ryan Cogdill did a great job preparing his team for this game and the players did a great job of following their assignments and doing their job. Coach Ryan said this about his defense, “the kids practice

really well this week and locked in to make sure we get the finer things taken care of. This was a game we can truly build upon for the next two weeks.”

A victory in this game means that San Jacinto will keep the bell until further notice.

Hemet is leaving the next year, which means they won’t have to play San Jacinto. They could schedule each other outside of league play, but there is no evidence that they want to do that at this time.

HSJ Chronicle's Mountain Pass League Game of the Week Football, Week 8 Review WEEK IN REVIEW

an Jacinto High School (SJHS) will take the trip to Perris as the Tigers seek to hunt down some Hawks. San Jacinto is fresh off a victory over their rival, the Hemet High Bulldogs. San Jacinto dominated the matchup 28-5, with Hemet’s only points coming off a safety and a field goal. San Jacinto is currently on a four-game win streak and are undefeated in league. Right now they are ranked 84th in the state. The have the highest ranking in the league and are holding on to that number one spot. San Jacinto has to have this game circled on their schedule: if they are able to win this one, they will only be one win away from going undefeated in the league.

Citrus Hill is coming off a tough game against West Valley where they barely pulled out a victory against the Mustangs. Citrus Hill

has a 7-1 record on the year and are 2-1 in league play.

Their only loss was in the first week of league against a Hemet High team that dominated them defensively and kicked a 35 yard game winning field goal.

This game between San Jacinto & Citrus Hill will be one to watch. If San Jacinto can pull out the win, they essentially clinch the league title and a playoff spot. If they lose, their future is questionable--most likely they will finish second or third in the league and their playoff chances will be up to a coin flip. This game is the definition of a "must win" for San Jacinto.

West Valley (ranked 539 in state) is hosting Beaumont (ranked 196) this week. Beaumont will come into this game thinking that this is an easy win, but West Valley showed last week that they can play with the best of them, containing Citrus Hill to only 14 points. West Valley is going to need to come out and

play like they did last week to silence their doubters.

This is a big opportunity for them to finish their season on a high note by taking away Beaumont's playoff hopes.

Hemet travels across the city to play against Tahquitz for the Ramona Cup. Both teams are fresh off a loss and need to get back in the win column in order to keep their playoff dreams alive. This is Tahquitz's last home game of the season.

Tahquitz is coming into the game ranked 562 and they still don’t have their head coach.

Hemet is going to be hungry after losing the last Battle of the Bell: they are coming into the game ranked 271. This is Hemet’s game to lose and they better win if they want to get into the playoffs.

eek 8 is in the books and the season is beginning to wind down.

San Jacinto High School (SJHS) Dominated Hemet High in the Battle of the Bell last week, which resulted in some off-field nastiness (see our story a too-physical coach elsewhere in this edition), but what else happened around the League?

Beaumont traveled down to Hemet to play the Tahquitz Titans. Beaumont scored 55 points in the game and Tahquitz only posted 7. Beaumont’s starting quarterback Edward Mcculloch posted up 172 passing yards and three touchdowns.

He also ran for one touchdown. Beaumont's pair of running backs, Sadiq Randolph and Jonathan Solis ran for 131 yards and 4 touchdowns

against Tahquitz. This was a great game for Beaumont who improves to 7-1 on the season and 2-1 against league opponents. Their only loss came from San Jacinto in week 6 of the season.

Citrus Hill also made the trip to Hemet, but they went to West Valley and took on the Mustangs. On paper, Citrus Hill should have put on a beating, but West Valley (WV) came out and made this game a dog fight. WV’s defense held together and shut down Citrus Hill offense: WV limited their offense to only 14 points, which is impressive considering Citrus has averaged over 30 points a game this season. West Valley showed that when they come together and play as a team they have what it takes to play with the big dogs. Unfortunately their offense struggled to gain any momentum and

they couldn’t get on the scoreboard until the third quarter. West Valley also lost one of their key playmakers, Rueben Rivera to an injury, which didn’t help their offense.

At the end of this week, there's no new shift in the standings. San Jacinto is still on top with a 6-2 record and is 3-0 against league opponents. Citrus Hill and Beaumont are tied for second/third place with 7-1 overall records and 2-1 in league play.

Hemet and Tahquitz are tied for fourth/fifth place both have a 4-4 record but are only 1-2 in league. Finally West Valley is at the bottom of the pack with a 2-6 overall record and are currently 0-3 in league.

This was a great week for Mountain Pass League teams and the competition was stiff, as all the teams are eyeing a position in the playoffs.

CHRONICLE OF A TRIP

Vizcaya Villa, Miami, Florida

ARLENE LEHTONE| CONTRIBUTED

M

y husband Lloyd and I drove our rental car along a wide avenue, with expensive-looking houses on one side, and a high, coral-colored wall on the other side. A meandering road guided us alongside an exuberant natural hammock (jungle forest), and through a wrought-iron gate in the wall, we saw the impressive Villa Vizcaya. We found it closed, due to a special function, the King and Queen of Spain being here, along with television crews, so we were given free passes and returned the following day.

Villa Vizcaya, in the present-day Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, is a splendid Italian Renaissance-style palace, impressively located on the edge of lovely Biscayne Bay, south of the Rickenbacker causeway entrance. Chicago industrialist James Deering, Vice President of International Harvester, traveled throughout Europe to study Renaissance homes and architecture. He acquired paintings, tapestries, furniture, ceilings, doors, gates, fireplaces, and fixtures, and accumulated an international assemblage of art.

Vizcaya began as a 180acre estate, of shoreline mangrove swamps and thick inland native tropical forests, which Deering conserved by developing the estate section along the shore.

Deering started construction of Vizcaya in 1912 officially starting occupancy on Christmas Day 1916 when he arrived aboard his yacht “Napenthe.” The villa was built mainly between 1914 and 1922, costing $15 million, while the construction of extensive elaborate Italian Renaissance gardens and the village continued into 1923.

Deering created a self-sufficient antique Italian estate out of what was wild Florida marshland, to look like an ancestral home, lived in by a noble Italian family for 400 years. It was representative of a northern Italian village, with a dairy, poultry house, mule stable, greenhouse, machine shop, paint and carpentry workshop, and staff

VILLE: Historical Viizcaya Villa, on beautiful Biscayne Bay. | Photo by Arlene Lehtone residences.

Created by about a thousand craftsmen, the house and garden are the handiwork of three architects, one who designed the buildings, another one who designed the gardens and the general artistic supervisor for all stages of the venture.

The Villa Rezzonico in Venice, Italy inspired the east façade of Vizcaya, facing the Bay, with its immense stone barge. Copied from the one at Isola Bella on northern Italy’s Lake Maggiore, the barge is decorated with obelisks and statues of nymphs and mermaids. The landing stage is enhanced with Venetian-style gondola mooring poles. In Deering's day, he and his wealthy friends arrived in their yachts, for their first dazzling sight of Vizcaya.

Porous, perforated stone (coral and volcanic rock) was used for architectural adornment, to give the impression of age. Native materials, such as limestone, which is still used by Florida architects, give the house a distinctive look. Imported French and Italian garden layouts and elements employed in Cuban limestone stonework with Floridian coral architectural trim were mingled.

Sub-tropic compatible and native plants that flourished in the habitat and climate, were planted.

DOCK: Teahouse. | Photo by Arlene Lehtone Deering called his estate Vizcaya, Basque for "elevated place," because the northern Spanish province Vizcaya is along the Bay of Biscay, from which Miami's Biscayne Bay takes its name. For the estate’s symbol and emblem, Deering chose caravels, the Spanish ships that came to Florida to replenish their water supply, during the “Age of Exploration” on their travels of conquest and discovery.

A depiction of the mythical explorer “Bel Vizcaya” greeted us at the entrance to the property.

South Florida’s love affair with everything Mediterranean began when Deering completed this sumptuous villa, which now is one of south Florida’s most impressive historic sites.

Sumptuously furnished with European decorative arts characterizing the Renaissance, baroque, rococo, and neoclassic eras, from the 15th to 19th centuries. The outstanding rooms are festooned with decorative elements and furnishings that cover over 400 years.

Each side of the marble terrace along the Bay is a seawall, leading to a trellised teahouse. We noticed that the south loggia’s tea-room has exotic canvas panels on the walls, an extraordinary marble floor, and fantastic wrought-iron doorways.

We learned that Italian Renaissance design expects the house to flow into the outdoors in an unbroken line of visual pleasure, increasing the scenes yonder. Vizcaya is so authentically Italian, that it can compete with renowned Renaissance palaces.

The superbly appointed interior of Vizcaya has a central courtyard, enhanced by ferns and statuary. The high ceilings and open-air courtyard welcome the sea breezes, but the salt spray and humidity harmed the interior furnishings, the enjoyable climate having a damp saltiness, eating away the porous limestone. In 1987, a climate-control system was installed, and the courtyard of the once

open-air Villa was enclosed with a glass skylight to safeguard the treasured furnishings from the weather. This was completed in time for the historic get-together at Vizcaya, in September of that year, when President Ronald Reagan received Pope John Paul II. They met in private on the first afternoon of the pontiff's historic tour of America, the Pope’s first visit to Miami.

Vizcaya's unsurpassed and superb beauty has captivated the world's utmost dignitaries. Queen Elizabeth of England visited in 1991, and in 1994, President Clinton hosted 34 leaders of the Western Hemisphere at the historic Summit of the Americas.

In 1994, the important First Summit of the Americas, convened by President Bill Clinton, began a series of Summits of the countries in the Americas. The leaders that gathered at Vizcaya formed the “Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) that all the hemisphere’s countries (except Cuba), could join for national and corporate trade benefits.

The exquisite grounds are over ten acres of expansive formal gardens, pools, and fountains with sculptures, and distinguish Vizcaya with an Italian Renaissance villa.

We saw and heard splashing water all over the estate.

In the Fountain Garden, we noticed peacocks perched on their fanciful vine-clad statues and pedestals. The shaded walks have glorious old oaks, dripping with Spanish moss. Meandering pathways led us to small theme gardens, divided by hedges and walls. There was a maze, fountain gardens with their exotic and various plant life, and an orchid collection of about 2,000 specimens.

We went to romantic grottoes, with shell-encrusted masks sculpted out of coral. The fanciful caves of the grottoes, with their stone waterfalls, are occupied by gods and nymphs, and we saw many of the huge giants, carved of native limestone.

Deering used Vizcaya as his winter home from 1916 until his death in 1925, dying September 1925 on board the steamship “SS City of Paris,” while returning to the United States. After his death, Vizcaya was inherited by his two nieces. After hurricanes and growing maintenance expenses, they began selling the estate’s surrounding land potions and outer gardens. In 1945, they sold segments of the estate to the Catholic Diocese of St. Augustine, Florida, to build Miami’s Mercy Hospital, retaining fifty acres, including the main house, the formal gardens, and the village.

In 1952, Miami-Dade County attained the outstanding villa and formal Italian gardens, now called the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. In 1994, the Vizcaya estate was selected as a National Historic Landmark.

In 1998, in conjunction with Vizcaya’s reaccreditation procedures by the American Alliance of Museums, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Trust were established to be the museum’s ruling organization. In 2008, the National Trust for Historic Preservation recorded Vizcaya as one of America’s Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places, Vizcaya’s presence on this list being founded on the menace of planned high-rise

expansion on adjacent property. On April 18, 2012, the AIA’s Florida Chapter positioned Vizcaya on its list of “Florida Architecture.”

In March 1971, three individuals stole approximately $1.5 million in artworks and silver articles. They were arrested three days later, about $250,000 of the stolen goods being recovered, and most of the precious items stolen were never recovered. Included in the theft was a silver bowl that once belonged to Napoleon Bonaparte and was essentially priceless.

The estate, now established officially as the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, consists of 50 acres with the villa and the gardens, and the remaining native forest. Ten acres encompass the Italian Renaissance formal gardens, and 40 acres are the native “hammock,” and miscellaneous.

The Villa’s museum contains about 34 rooms of distinguished architectural interiors, adorned with numerous antiques, showcasing over 2,500 art objects and furnishings, with an emphasis on 15th through early 19th century European decorative art and furnishings. Among those furnishings are ceramics, the originals of which were sent from England in 1912 but sank along with the “Titanic.” Fortunately, Deering had taken insurance and had them replenished.

Vizcaya’s genuinely Italian, spectacular Renaissance-style villa and formal gardens can effortlessly compete with the grand Renaissance palaces.

The grounds, both formal gardens, and the native hammock encircling the entrance are scattered with statuary.

Vizcaya encompasses one of the finest collections of decorative arts in America.

The magnificently appointed ten-acre villa features rooms of European decorative arts, representing the Renaissance, baroque, rococo and neoclassic times. Lloyd and I entered another world at Vizcaya, a place from the past, with its fabulous rooms enhanced with decorative features and furnishings that evoke Renaissance Italy.

Vizcaya is located at 3251 South Miami Avenue in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami.

id All Belong to the Father?

What does it mean to belong to the Father before you are given to Jesus? Does it mean simply that God possesses all humans, including you? You belonged to the Father because everybody belongs to the Father? Probably not. Because those who belong to the Father would be those who are “of God,” and Jesus says in John 8:47 that there are those who are “not of God.” Being “of God” can’t include all humans. So, belonging to God before being given to Jesus does not include everyone.

Who then does it include?

Or a more personal way to ask the question is: Why does it include you? Why are you among those who belonged to the Father before he gave you to the Son? Was it because you had some quality, and God saw this and chose you to be in the group that he would give to Jesus? Did he see that you were willing to come to Jesus or willing to believe on Jesus, and for that reason counted you to be part of those who were his?

No. Because in John 6:44 Jesus said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who

sent me draws him.” In other words, being willing to come to Jesus was not something God saw in you, but something God worked in you.

No one is willing to come to Jesus on his own. Only those who are drawn by the Father can come.

DID THE FATHER DRAW EVERYONE TO JESUS? But what about the possibility that all humans are drawn by the Father, and only some prove willing to come? After all, doesn’t Jesus say in John 12:32 that he draws all people to himself?

Well, actually no, it doesn’t. It says more literally, “I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all to myself ” (John 12:32). Which could mean all people who are “my sheep” (John 10:16, 27) or all people who are “the children of God” (John 11:52) or all people who belong to the Father (John 17:6).

Actually, we know Jesus did not mean that the Father’s drawing applies to every person when he said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.” The reason we know this is that later in the chapter, Jesus explicitly explains his meaning. He says, “There are some of you

who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.” (John 6:64–65) “Before we listened to the truth, before we were drawn to the Son, before we believed, we belonged to the Father.”TweetShare on Facebook.

That’s an explanation of verse 44. He gives Judas as an example of someone who would not believe. Then he explains Judas’s unbelief with the words, “This is why (back in verse 44) I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

In other words, Judas did not believe because “no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father” — implying that Judas was not granted this. Or to use the words of John 6:44, which Jesus is referring back to, the Father did not draw Judas.

Which means, all humans are not drawn by the Father to Jesus. Judas wasn’t. And so being willing to come is not something God finds in a group of humans, but something he puts in a group of humans. Which means

that God did not choose a group of humans as his own because he saw in them a willingness to come to Jesus.

Whatever willingness humans have to come to Jesus is not the basis, but the result of belonging to the Father beforehand.

In Spite of Disqualification So, I ask again to all who belong to Jesus: Why were you among those who first belonged to God before he gave you to Jesus? It was not because you were willing to believe. It was simply because God was willing to “grant” you to believe — to draw you to Jesus.

In other words, God chose you freely to belong to him.

By an act of free grace. You did not qualify for God’s choice. Nor did I! It was in spite of disqualification. We were unwilling to come. We loved darkness and hated light and would not come to the light (John 3:19–20). In spite of knowing this about us, God chose some darkness-lovers to be his. And then, to save us from our rebellion and guilt, he gave us to Jesus. “Yours they were, and you gave them to me” (John 17:6).

August 5, 1931 - October 6, 2019 Nieves Arias Aguilera passed away at the age of 88 on Sunday October 6, 2019 in Riverside, California. Born August 5, 1931 in Thermal, California to the late Toribio and Luz Arias.

Nieves was married for 68 years to the love of her life, Cipriano Aguilera, known as “Zip”. Their love story began in 1950 at a friend’s wedding. Zip noticed how beautiful she looked and his heart melted. It was love at first sight. Zip was going to ask her for a dance but decided not to due to the passing of Nieves’ mother. A year later, he walked into an ice cream parlor and unbeknownst to him, found her working there. He asked her on a date but she declined due to the fact that he had to ask her family first for permission to date.

Zip spoke to her uncle and received the uncle’s blessing to date Nieves. And the rest is history. Nieves was blessed and is survived by her loving husband Zip; four caring children Elaine Tullius, Frederick Aguilera, Grace Edwards and Christina Gustafson. Three adoring grandchildren Darin Gustafson, Leslie Edwards and Garrett Edwards. Nieves held a deep and enduring faith in God which always allowed her to be a steady pillar of strength for her family and friends. In addition, her surviving siblings Patricio Arias and Magdelena Gomez.

A Visitation will be held on Friday, October 25, 2019, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, at Miller-Jones Mortuary, located at 1501 W. Florida Ave, Hemet, CA. A Funeral Mass will follow at 1:30 PM, at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, 790 S. State St, Hemet, CA.

TIPS TO TRAIN YOUR PET

How to turn a bad-to-the-bone dog into an obedient pooch NEWSUSA | CONTRIBUTED

I

s your dog bad to the bone? Does your sweet Jack Russel guard all doors from intruders -- friends and family included? Or is it your Boxer puppy that won't stop shredding socks and underwear? Some of the cutest pooches have the worst manners. Whether you're at work or just in another room, their mischievous play may lead to anything from home repairs to staggering vet bills.

Pooches and owners alike can relate to this common problem, and getting the magical, behavioral transformation you've always fantasized about is closer than you think -- premier pet care authority Camp Bow Wow is holding a contest, "Bad to The Bone: Camp Bow Wow's Worst Behaved Dog Contest," to discover North America's most ill-mannered dog. The winning pooch will receive a full year of free services ($3,000 value) at a local Camp or Home Buddies (an in-home care service offered

by Camp Bow Wow) of their choice. Most importantly, the winning dog will also receive free dog training to correct

those bad habits.

If you are a frustrated pet owner who doesn't have time to wait to win this contest, here are five dog-training tips straight from the Behavior Buddies experts at Camp Bow Wow to get you started: 1. Proper exercise is key!

A majority of behavior issues stem from a lack of proper exercise. At least one 30-minute walk per day is sufficient for most dogs. Playing in the backyard or in the house does not count as exercise.

2. Buy a dog backpack for walks. This allows your dog to have a job and adds weight

with objects like water bottles or hand weights so the dog expends more energy.

3. Challenge your dog with brain puzzles. A mentally tired dog will not spend time thinking about how to get in the garbage or waste breath yipping at neighbors.

4. Take a training class.

Getting your dog to respect you is critical to having your dog listen to you.

5. Send your dog to Camp Bow Wow or hire a Home Buddies Care Giver to take Fido on a walk. A tired dog is a good dog!

If your beloved Fido is still opening cabinets and devouring furniture, enter him or her in Camp Bow Wow's contest. Participants can enter on Facebook, www. facebook.com/CampBowWow, with an incriminating picture or video and a story explaining your dog's disobedient behavior. Voting is also handled via Facebook -- the contest runs through May 18.

For more information, visit www.campbowwow.com.

are came full circle on October 10 when The Cloverlane Foundation donated an electric scooter to veteran Larry Caldwell.

When veteran Sandy Dee began her organization, “A Pawsibility 4 Veterans,” which helps vets with service dogs, Larry Caldwell was among the first to volunteer.

The scooter, the funding for which came from The Veterans Mobility Project through a grant from Veterans and Friends of Solera of Diamond Valley, was sorely needed by Caldwell, but he thought he’d have to make due with his

wheelchair. “I joined Sandy’s organization so that I could get training for my two Saint Bernards. I stayed on to help, but I never expected that I’d be a recipient. When Sandy called me and said she’d found me some help, I said, “For what?” I was that shocked that she knew I needed a scooter, and had gone out and found me one.”

Though Caldwell has been diagnosed with diabetes, had his right leg amputated and most recently lost his big and third toe, the VA, the very organization tasked with helping veterans, turned down Caldwell’s request for a scooter.

In a decision that stunned many, the VA said Caldwell, “...was not fully incapacitated.”

“Through a freak accident, I had fallen getting out of my van, and I broke my hip. I had to have hip surgery, so I really needed the scooter, but they shot us down,” said Caldwell.

“The VA had turn down Larry’s request for a scooter even though he had been through hell. They said he was not fully disabled. This is the kind of thing our organizations see and work with on a daily basis. No one really knows how poorly a lot of our veterans are treated,” said Dee, adding, “My organization, and that of The Cloverlane Foundation have essentially the same mission, “To bring awareness to and to add value to the community and our veteran population in collaboration with other organizations.”

his week, twenty (20) percent of the companies on the stock market will report their quarterly earnings. So far it seems over eighty (80) percent of those beat analysts expectations.

Most companies have lowered their earnings, making it easier to beat. FactSet estimated that the earnings will be fourand-half (4.5) percent lower.

Rarely have we had a market this bullish. A recent analyst this week called for the market to have a huge surge in 2020. I think some of this may be valid, if certain data is accurate and certain events come to fruition. Right now we still feel that the market is overvalued and contains a lot of hype. Looking at the headwinds of BREXIT and the Tariff War with the assumption that both of these have a solution that is agreed upon, would the global recession turn itself around?

Let’s say it does turn itself around. Would it resemble a Yugo making a U-Turn or more like a Star Destroyer?

Changing direction would take quarters if not a year to do so. I think that as history is being written, so are the new rules of free-trade. This is why being conservative right now with investments seems to be the practical. One toe in and one toe out. There are far more bullish investors than me out there. Charts seem to show the upper limit for the S&P500 to be around 3150. I will be watching the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the Volatility Index. If we go into an oversold status, I expect the market to rollover.

Downside right now looks as if a fifteen (15) to twenty (20) percent correction

is in order. anything more than that and most call it a recession. This puts twenty-five-hundred (2,500) for the S&P 500 in view and if we do go through that then below two-thousand (2,000) is being called for. Remember Warren Buffett said there was a probability even for a forty (40) percent drop. Not much, but a possibility.

As this market grinds higher or if there is a speculative surge of buyers in the short run, please do me a favor and sell. Take some profits off the table. Cash, bonds or buying the VIX is my recommendation. As the old traders called it “Keep the Powder Dry.” If this occurs, I am bullish on next year. With the Federal Reserve lowering rates and very low inflation in hand, there is room for the consumer index to gain momentum and live with a little more money in their hands. The consumer index has remained strong. If they hold in there and the recent layoffs don’t accelerate beyond job growth, then I think we see higher earnings and a turn around next year. I maybe off by six months but stock-market timing is not an exact science.

Take your fourth quarter positions now. The last two have been ones to remember. I think the 3rd time will be the charm.

NATIONAL NATIVE AMERICAN VETERANS MEMORIAL

Honoring the Achievements of Native Americans in the Military STATEPOINT | CONTRIBUTED

N

ative Americans serve in the U. S. military at a higher rate per capita than any other population group and have done so since the American Revolution. Yet there is no monument or memorial in the Nation’s capital that commemorates the contributions of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians who have served in the U. S. Armed Forces. This is finally changing, as the first memorial to their service is being built.

The Smithsonian’s National

Museum of the American Indian recently broke ground on the National Native American Veterans Memorial, which will be dedicated on Nov. 11, 2020, Veteran’s Day, in a public ceremony at the museum.

“Throughout history, Native Americans have answered the call to serve in our nation’s armed forces,” says Kevin Gover (Pawnee), director of the National Museum of the American Indian.

“This memorial will remind everyone who visits it of the service and patriotism of Native veterans and their families.”

A visit to Washington, D. C., is a great opportunity to experience U. S. history firsthand. The city is filled with grand monuments, world-class museums and memorials honoring those whose life’s work was in service to the nation.

Among the most visited memorials in the city are those honoring the nation’s veterans and the sacrifices they have made in service to the country. On any given day, thousands visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the World War II Memorial and the Korean War Veterans Memorial, among others, remembering those who

served. And soon, these same visitors, will be able to visit one honoring the military service of Native Americans.

The new memorial, which was commissioned by Congress to give “all Americans the opportunity to learn of the proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans in the Armed Forces of the United States,” will be located on the grounds of the museum, within sight of the U. S. Capitol Building. It will be the first national landmark in Washington, D. C. to focus on the contribution of American Indians,

Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians who have served in the military.

The memorial design by Harvey Pratt (Cheyenne and Arapahoe Tribes of Oklahoma), a multimedia artist, retired forensic artist and Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, features an elevated stainless-steel circle resting on an intricately carved stone drum. It also incorporates water for sacred ceremonies, benches for gatherings and four lances where veterans, family members, tribal leaders and others can tie cloths for prayers and healing.

QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY

Homeless problem KYLE HEADLEE | STAFF WRITER

L

ast week’s “Question to the community” deal with safety. Many of the responses mentioned the homeless problem in our community. Our question of the week directly addresses that issue: “What do you think should be done about the HemetSan Jacinto homeless problem?”

RESPONSES

The Community responds to our Question of the Week KYLE HEADLEE | STAFF WRITER

L

ast week’s Community Question was, “Do you feel safe in our community? If not why and could change in order for you to feel safe?

If you already feel safe, why?”

Here are some of reader responses, S.Castro- “Nope! Not enough police presence on Florida, Too many homeless at the community parks, I don’t even park any of my cars outside of the garage because there’s wack jobs slashing tires and windshields.

And i just bought a new home out here. Came from Redlands.”

S. Ryan- “Love Hemet and San Jacinto. Lived here for the last 20 years.”

A. Dotinga- “Been here since 1970, I refuse to let anybody make me stay inside day or night or be afraid. I shop all over town, eat out etc without letting anything bother me. We just have to be aware of our surroundings and who is in our space.”

A.Ruiz-Bolton- “I don’t feel “unsafe” here, maybe because I grew up and lived in NYC for 60 years.

I’ve never experienced anything “scary” here. I’ve never even been accosted by a beggar...I chalk that up to my NY “smile.” I try to be aware of what’s going on around me at any given time, and unless it’s unavoidable, I’m not taking a moonlight stroll. I live in a 55+ community, so there usually isn’t much activity, especially at night, that goes unnoticed, but I still make sure everything is

locked up tight. I try to do what I can to keep myself safe, but I realize that no matter where I live, even in the best of neighborhoods, there might be people who would try to do me harm.”

W.Lars“Something needs to be done about the homeless some are druggies and need to steal to be able buy drugs that leads to a lot of petty crimes and since California won’t prosecute them it doesn’t stop and it is getting worse We keep paying more and more in taxes and getting less for our money I am moving out of state.”

K.Michael- “More patrolling areas would be good. I live near Whittier Elementary school and people are rude and don’t even follow the laws when they see a school they speed by so fast not thinking of the kids. I worry all the time! Slow down and obey the signs.

Gilbert awful too! Business area slow down!”

S. Carmody- “Not anymore. In East Hemet unincorporated area no regulation of fireworks & I know last night one of “bangs” was gunshot.

Recognized it from hunting with dad. Just so much of it, so close together, people can’t tell the difference. Street people, I can handle but this constant assault on peace & quiet in my own home is really too much. Dangerous, don’t know when shots really fired.”

And that is this week’s responses to the Community Question! Make sure to be on the lookout for next week’s question and email your responses to Kheadlee@hsjchronicle.com.

Without access to their cell phones students won’t develop what the kids nowadays are calling “FOMO” or Fear Of Missing Out. Students won’t be as tempted to check their social media or text each other. Most importantly their number one tool to cheat in class is now taken out of their hands.

Hemet Unified School District (HUSD) claims that their original case study, initiated last year, showed great improvement in students’ behavior/test scores. This led to school-widen implementation of the rule.

Although Tahquitz and the HUSD claim that they are already seeing improvements, there are Pros & Cons to this rule. At least the HUSD is doing everything they can to help students learn with ease.

Classrooms can be tricky environments. Classrooms are becoming harder to manage,

with kids attention spans shrinking and having various learning styles. Teachers struggle to remain in control. Taking cellphones out of the classroom will help the teacher obtain the students’ undivided attention, but we will have to wait and see how this turns out for Tahquitz to find out if other schools will follow their lead.

Right now, two other schools have followed Tahquitz’s lead in limiting cell phone usage. Acacia Middle School has adopted a zero tolerance rule, basically outlawing cell phone usage at school. Teachers at the school claim that it’s been an adjustment, but that students are starting to comply. They don’t hand out detentions for cell phone usage: teachers simply issue the students a simple reminder to put their cell phones away. Acacia has noticed a significant difference in the classroom since enforcing this rule. Students pay more attention in class and are willing to learn, and that’s a surprise in and of itself.

Alessandro Continuation HS (ACHS) has also adopted the no cell phone policy, but it’s only during class periods.

Teachers at ACHS have even

set up charging stations for students for use during class times.

We spoke to Tahquitz High School junior Iran Estrada and asked her views on the policy at Tahquitz.

“Honestly, I don’t mind the new rules. In my opinion, they have made a change, because I’ve noticed students getting more work done in class than they did before, when they had contact with their phones.”

Some wondered if the fact that the new policy might lead to cell-phone theft, but Miss Estrada finds that’s not the case.” No phones have been stolen that I’m aware of, but some teachers do stand where the phones are placed at the end of class when the bell rings to make sure everyone only grabs one phone. It’s not mandatory that teachers do this, but some do it for the students,” she says, adding, “There was a lot of negative responses to these new rules at first. Most students didn’t like the policies

and they complained about them a lot. The majority of the students have adjusted now. You don’t even notice that you don’t have your phone anymore!” she smiles.

“I would highly recommend other schools adopt this policy. A lot of students will complain in the beginning, but it will only benefit the school as a whole.

Most students seem to be taking the new policy in stride.. Tahquitz just needs to implement a safer protocol that prevents cell-phone theft, such as a a check-in system: you get a card with a number on it when you turn in your phone and you have to turn in that card at the end of class to get your phone back. Other school districts have implemented such precautions and have done so w i t h great success.

Inland Empire Health Plan earns Top Ratings in the Nation in Provider Satisfaction PRNEWSWIRE | CONTRIBUTED

I

nland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) earned outstanding overall marks once again from Doctors, Specialists and other health care Providers on its 2019 Provider Experience Survey. IEHP scored in the 99th percentile in most measured areas when compared to other Medicaid health plans across the country.

IEHP is one of the 10 largest Medicaid health plans and the largest not-forprofit Medicare-Medicaid Plan in the U.S. Its dynamic network of more than 6,400 Providers serves more than 1.2 million residents in California’s Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

to measure how well it is meeting its Providers’ expectations and needs. This year, Providers gave IEHP the top scores in the following areas: • 99th percentile for “Overall Satisfaction” • 99th percentile for “Provider Relations” • 99th percentile for “Recommend IEHP to Other Physicians’ Practices” • 98th percentile for “IEHP Compared to All Other Health Plans” • 98th percentile for “Network/Coordination of Care” • 97th percentile for “Finance Issues” “Our guiding principle has always been to do the right thing for our Members and Providers,” said IEHP’s Chief Executive Officer Jarrod McNaughton.

“These top ratings reflect the exceptional partnership between our Providers and IEHP.” Chief Operating Officer Susie White added IEHP provides significant technical and financial tools and resources to support Providers in their delivery of high quality and compassionate care. As a result, the partnership has been crucial to improving health and health care access throughout the region.

“We are proud to continue our incredible collaboration with Providers and our shared commitment to make a lasting impact on more than a million lives,” White said.

SPH Analytics (SPHA), an independent, National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) certified survey vendor, administered the survey on

IEHP’s behalf in July 2019.

Providers rated their experience on: • Overall Satisfaction • Recommend to Other Physicians’ Practices • Health Plan Call Center Service Staff • Provider Relations • Utilization and Quality Management • Pharmacy • Network/Coordination of Care • Finance Issues SPHA utilizes trusted health care quality measures and analytics to accurately compare health plans throughout the U.S. Scores are calculated as summary rates – the total of the proportion of respondents who selected the most positive answers to the total number of valid survey responses for each question.

4 Ways Medicare Part D is Changing in 2020 STATEPOINT | CONTRIBUTED

I

f you have Medicare and are looking for ways to save on the ever-increasing cost of medications next year, consider adding a prescription plan known as “Part D.” By making medications more affordable, Part D plans can help you stay on track to achieve your 2020 health goals.

Choosing the plan that’s best for you can seem daunting at first, so familiarizing yourself with how Part D plans work is essential.

First, compare how much you can expect to pay as you go through the “four stages” of a plan’s coverage, as the cost of your prescriptions will increase or decrease depending on the phase you are in. Then, find experts that can help you make an informed decision about the plan that will work best for you and take time to learn how the changes happening in 2020 will impact your bottom line.

Read on for a brief summary of the changes that will affect each stage of coverage next year.

DEDUCTIBLE STAGE You may need to pay more before your plan kicks in. A deductible is the amount you need to pay before your plan starts paying its share of the cost. Next year, the deductible could be as high as $435.

That’s an increase of $20 from 2019.

INITIAL COVERAGE STAGE Your plan may cover more of the cost before you reach the “Donut Hole.” During this stage, you pay a set amount for your medications. Your plan covers the difference. In 2020, the initial coverage limit is up to $4,020. That’s an increase of $200 from 2019.

COVERAGE GAP STAGE You will receive higher discounts for branded and generic medications. You will receive a 75 percent discount when purchasing a brand-name medication.

For example, if your medication costs $100, you will only pay $25. If you need a generic, you will never pay more than 25 percent of the total cost of the drug. In 2020, you will remain in this

stage until your total out of pocket costs of your covered medications is $6,350.

CATASTROPHIC STAGE You will only have to pay a minimum amount. Once you reach this stage, your costs will remain the same through the year. During this stage, you pay $8.95 for brandname drugs and $3.60 for generics, or 5 percent of retail costs, whichever is higher.

NEXT STEPS If you are currently enrolled in a Part D plan, be sure to check the Annual Notice of Changes (ANOC) mailed by your plan. The ANOC details how these and other 2020 changes may impact your wallet next year.

You can also go to roadmapformedicare.com for more detailed information about these changes, where you’ll find a free easy-to-use tool that will help you compare plans and choose the one that works best for you.

Don’t let Open Enrollment pass you by. Compare plans now and choose the one that best fits your needs and budget – this may save you money next year.

EDITORIAL & OPINION

Thursday |October 24 - October 30| 2019

PORTER’S CORNER

War Memorials I

recently read a most gratifying and informative article regarding the military service of Native American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians who have served in the U. S. Armed Forces.

Then I happened upon the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian which recently broke ground on the National Native American Veterans Memorial, to be dedicated on Nov. 11, 2020, Veteran’s Day, in a public ceremony.

I was reminded of a 2002 movie based on a true story, entitled the “Code Talker” which describes just one of the many ways Native Americans contributed to the war effort by saving the lives of a countless marines. In the words of Kevin Grover (Pawnee), director of the National Museum of the American Indian, “Throughout history, Native Americans have answered the call to serve in our armed forces. This memorial will remind everyone who visits it of the service and patriotism of Native veterans and their families.”

The memorial was commissioned

by Congress to give “all Americans the opportunity to learn of the proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans in the Armed Forces of the United States.”

This country’s social diversity is the single most significant element that has made America the greatest

POLITICAL CARTOONS

and most powerful nation on the planet, with all backgrounds, creeds and nationalities having made exceptional contributions to the cause of freedom and democracy.

Whether in education, the arts, sciences, commerce, industry, agriculture or the military, America could not have made our impact in every corner of the world, without the congress of all segments of our population. America is much like a symphony orchestra, consisting of diverse musical instruments, which are tuned and played together, and directed by a single tonic thought... that is, the notion that all men, all people...are created equal.

And when the song of freedom rings out, we are capable of producing beautiful sounds heard into the far reaches of the planet.

Only the balance composed by our diversity can right the cacophony of some discordant strains among us, but this balance has righted itself before in the course of our history, and it will do so again.

The beautiful memorial to the Native American soldier who has died on the world’s many battlefields throughout U. S. military history is a just and much deserved tribute, long overdue.

Native Americans have executed with unequaled excellence their part of the symphonic score that, along with all the other sections of the ensemble make an everlasting impact on all of us. They have indeed helped our hallowed song to ring down the halls of history.

A DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW

Time heals all wounds... or so they say.

MUHAMMAD NAEEM | COLUMNIST

T

ime heals all wounds is an age old saying that people use to comfort someone who is sad, or hurt, or who has suffered a loss, usually of a loved one, or of love itself. The idea being that the sadness would go away given enough time, or that the period of mourning will be over—eventually. I am talking about emotional and psychological wounds, of course, and not the actual, physical ones. Physical wounds, if deep enough, always leave a scar behind, with deep and thick scar tissue to remind us where the wound is located. Emotional and psychological wounds actually have a chance to fully heal and leave no scar tissue behind, as the wisdom goes, but do these wounds really heal completely, given enough time?

They don’t, we all know that. We can pretend that they are healed, because no one can really see the actual wound. It is us, who feel the pain, and it is us, who have to deal with the suffering. We can pretend that we are not suffering, even when we can barely stand the suffocating pain.

We can also pretend that there is no wound to begin with by repeating over and over that it didn’t hurt! At the same time, there are those who enjoy the pain and like to suffer. They keep picking on the wound, until it festers and gets infected, and gets loaded with, you know, the “p” word.

Yes, there is an emotional equivalent of the “p” word to that of the “p” word for physical wounds.

Before I say more, let me tell you

about my favorite meme about this subject. It goes like this: My therapist told me, “Time heals all wounds.” So, I stabbed him. Now we wait…

Heal, don’t heal! That’s not important. What is important is how we deal with the pain. As one smart cookie said that it’s what we do with the time that heals. Some prefer pain killers. Drinking comes to mind. The heavier the pain, well, the heavier the drinking. It is like applying Orajel to the area. Numb the heck out of your tissue. Eliminate all the nerves that keep firing and the pain is no longer there. It may be a temporary solution, but hey, it works for the time being. We can apply more when the pain starts again. Keep numbing the pain and eventually, the pain will be replaced with some other problem.

That is one way to solve our dilemma, replace one pain with another.

Or we could replace the horse that we fell off, with another horse. Some of you may readily know what I am talking about. It is about replacing the source of the pain with another equivalent source. Run from the arms of one, into the arms of another. You can forget about the pain if you can find a way to forget about the pain-giver. This method works like magic. Poof, and we are on another track and setting ourselves up for another, but different pain.

There is also the option to be the one causing the pain and not be the one suffering from it. Break hearts instead of getting your own heart broken. Cause emotional trauma to others before someone can hurt your feelings. Go on the offense, instead of being on the receiving end of things.

Take the first shot; throw the first punch; make the first move; throw the ball, long and deep.

My favorite technique is to not give a darn. Don’t let anything bother you. Be nonchalant, as people who know me are sick and tired of me saying that. If you don’t make yourself vulnerable to emotional and psychological distress, well, then no one can cause any harm. Just don’t fall in love, or be attached to anyone, or even care. Once you achieve this aloofness, there will never be any wounds that need healing. You’ll go through life with no pain, and with a lot of gain. You’ll see that people are drawn to you like flies. It is human nature to try to change you in such a way that you become susceptible to such harmful things like affection, friendship, and adoration. But you don’t really need any of them to live a successful and fulfilling life. Yes, people say that to truly be happy, you do need such things in life. My response is very simple: Why try to be happy and risk being hurt, when you can just be content and live carefree.

Why, indeed!

n Saturday November 2nd, the Historic Hemet Theatre will present a heart-pounding tribute to Huey Lewis and the News featuring "Heart of Rock & Roll," a tribute band based right down the street in Temecula. It will also be the day when tickets for the next season of tribute concerts will be released.

Roger Langdon, lead singer for "Heart of Rock & Roll," not only sounds like Huey Lewis, he also bears a striking resemblance to the 1980's music icon. Together with Ray Ortega (drums, vocals), Joe Schiavone (bass, vocals), Kelly Cowan (guitar, vocals), Geoff Ryle (keys, vocals), and Steve Nieves (sax, percussion), Langdon creates a non-stop music explosion that is unmatched.

Back in the 1980's, Huey Lewis & The News sold over 30 million albums worldwide and produced 19 Top 40 hits. Their #1 worldwide smash hit, “The Power Of Love” from the blockbuster movie, "Back To The Future" sealed their legacy as one of the Top 100 Rock Bands of All Time. Other top hits by Huey Lewis include “I Want a New Drug,” “Heart & Soul,” “Hip To Be Square,” "Back in Time," "Workin' for a Livin', and “Jacob’s Ladder.”

BOO AT THE BOWL! OCT. 25 & 26, 6 - 9 PM AND OCT. 27, 4 - 7 PM

As an organization dedicated to promoting awareness of, and greater participation in the arts, locating in downtown Hemet opened the door for greater visibility for DVAC's mission.

TIPS FOR HOME

Falling leaves, Football, Halloween, and a New Kitchen NEWS USA | CONTRIBUTED

M

any people believe spring or summer is the best time of year to get your dream kitchen.

Not so fast.

Those seasons may be the most popular time of year for a project such as this, but when you take a deeper dive into the world of home remodeling, you'll find October and November are actually the best times to remodel your kitchen. By taking advantage of the fall season, you can get your project done before the holidays (and save a ton of money.)

Slower season means better values - Spring and summer may seem the ideal

time to begin a remodel project, but it's the busy season for contractors and retailers know it. High demand can mean higher prices and longer lead times to get things done. More people are recognizing this and getting their kitchen done in the fall. They can find better deals and, just as importantly, get their house ready for the holidays.

Here are some insider tips: * Watch for the sale. Retailers will push great savings in October and November to clean out inventory heading into the new year. * Find an expert. The Internet is great for research, but for a big project such as a kitchen, find a retailer that offers personal one-onone design help.

KITCHEN: New Cabinets. | Courtesy Photo * Remodel the whole kitchen, not just one part.

You can get the best deals from retailers that do it all: cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets - even flooring. And you'll be able to design the

full kitchen without driving to three different stores. * Plan installation. Ask if they offer installation.

This time of year, that can be a real positive.

Try to find a store such

as Cabinets To Go in your area. Unlike online retailers, they have experts in every store. They also offer free, 3D-kitchen design, installation and hundreds of style options for cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, and flooring. Better yet, they also offer some of their best deals of the year right now. For more information, visit www. cabinetstogo.com/.

Show it off for the Holidays - Home blogger Cassie Bustamante also encourages taking advantage of this season for a remodel.

"The fall is a financially wise time to undertake a new kitchen, but it also makes sense for a lot of other reasons," she says.

"The holidays are about family time and the kitchen is the heart of it all."

Bustamante also feels there's a more personal reason."Maybe you'll finally get up the nerve to host Thanksgiving dinner since you'll have such a gorgeous new space."

The kitchen is the heart of the holiday experience.

It's the place we gather with loved ones to prepare meals and share stories. Now, imagine how amazing it would feel to host the holidays in your newly-remodeled kitchen knowing you saved a lot of money? Great family time during the holidays is more than just a kitchen, but it's the perfect place to bring it all together.

Serving up food, great prices and a family-friendly atmosphere EDITOR’S NOTE: Our article last week was supposed to highlight this most amazing artist and pastry chef. Unfortunately we fell short of our editorial standards: in the article, we referenced non-existent pictures and gave the impression, by omitting such pictures, that we were representing Allysun and her family in a laughable manner. I take full responsibility for the gaffe, and offer my apologies to Allysun, her family and our readers. Below is the picture we should have run: it is of a four year-old Allysun baking with her grandfather.

Now, I can only say that I hope our readers will enjoy the first of a bi-weekly column from one of the truly most “Uhmayzing” people I’ve ever met: Allysun The Uhmayzing. Take it away Al… -Mark

BOOK SERIES

Growing up hillbilly

Chapter XXII - Back-tracking RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR WRITER

I

’ve been told that I have a memory like a steel trap. It is true that I can remember details from age three, even as to what someone was wearing and the topic of conversations. I don’t know why, but it has always been that way with me.

However, since I began this book I’ve gone back over the previous chapters and I will remember something missing that should be in a chapter. I’m starting to think about some of my foundations that weren’t always fun and games.

I grew up during the Great Depression, but the first six years of my life were not those of the poverty-stricken thirties. My step-father, Okie B. Woods, was a hard working man with a good income until the market went belly up in October 1929. Loss of jobs did not hit our family hard until 1931 when the employment bubble busted. I recall the Christmas of 1930, mom and I lived alone in apartment upstairs over a loan company. My mother always lived in town. She wasn’t about to be known as a country girl.

Too much vanity. Mom and my step-father had split earlier in the year. We lost our big house on Edgewood Drive near the country club and were beginning to learn what it was like to do without.

The family doctor gave us a Christmas tree, otherwise we would not have had one that year. She always let me help with the decorations and I recall crawling under a buffet to reach the electrical socket with a cord from the tree lights. I plugged the light cord into the wall and slam, bam, thank you ma’am, I picked myself up on the other side of the room. The lights were old and the fabric covered cord had worn thin. Consequently my fingers were wrapped around the frayed line and when the plug connected to the current I got a never to be forgotten shock and journey across the room that jolted the daylights out of me. Since that time I never plug anything into a socket without checking the cord.

My mother was working at the West Side Diner right across the street from our apartment at the time so she was able to be home more with me, plus which she brought me over to have lunch with her every day. The Christos who owned the place were a big part of my growing up.

Two of their sons, George and Gus went to Bigley and Lincoln grade and junior high schools with me. George and I were in the same class. Gus was two classes ahead. Over the years Gus and I became close. He later took over the restaurant after his father died.

Even when mom didn’t work there, I was always asked when I went in if I was hungry. Gus and his father took care of my hunger more times than I can remember.

When I came home from the war Gus threw a welcome home party in my honor.

Throughout my early teen years Gus was very special in my life, like an older brother. Not being athletic or rough, older boys picked on me. It was something I tried to avoid, but I just seemed to be a punching bag for some older guys who enjoyed bullying

ach family member plays an integral role at The Early Bird: they play to their strengths. Elbia is the accountant, dealing with finances and scheduling, her husband Joe who, in the 5 minutes we met while he was delivering ingredients to the kitchen, did a stand-up comedy routine!

He wants the world to know that Early Bird Cafe is,”The BEST thing to happen to this valley!”

The pride that they all take in their establishment shows.

Azcune is the younger sis-

ter by 18 years and lovingly refers to her older sister Elbia as her “sister/mom.” She runs social media and provides warm service at the diner.

The challenges of working with family are worth the rewards of being free and being your own boss.

This family has an entrepreneurial spirit and works hard together despite the challenges of continuing to provide hand-made food, cooked with love that you can taste. Their dad opened his restaurant when Azcune was five, and she is proud to be continuing that legacy.

Gus, all everything athletically, took up for me on more occasions than I can remember. One punch from him and any of them would back away. All too often, however, someone would catch me when Gus wasn’t around. He always told me, “Anybody bothers you, you let me know.” I never told him though. I didn’t want him to feel obligated.

Aside from the Christos and family, I was amazed almost to embarrassment the as to how many guys who mistreated me when I was in school who were suddenly my friends when I came back f r o m World War II. It was

I found out later that some of them didn’t make it into the war for one reason or the other and supposed the others suddenly had respect for a fellow service man.

Trump dice que juicio en su contra es como un linchamiento DARLENE SUPERVILLE|AP

E

l presidente Donald Trump el martes introdujo un matiz racial en la investigación de juicio político que se le sigue en el Congreso por su política hacia Ucrania al compararla con “un linchamiento”.

Los linchamientos, la acción de matar a alguien en la horca, históricamente fueron usados por blancos contra los negros en el sur de Estados Unidos a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX en medio de tensiones raciales crecientes. Al comparar el juicio político con un linchamiento, Trump de hecho compara a los demócratas con una turba asesina.

Presionado por la investigación, la reacción contra su política en Siria y otros problemas, el presidente republicano tuiteó: “Si algún día, si un demócrata es presidente y los republicanos ganan la cámara (baja), aunque sea por un margen diminuto, podrán hacer juicio político al presidente sin el debido proceso o integridad o derechos legales”.

“Todos los republicanos deben

recordar lo que están presenciando: un linchamiento. ¡Pero GANAREMOS!” El dirigente del bloque demócrata en la cámara, Jim Clyburn, criticó el empleo del término por Trump.

“Esa es una palabra que ningún presidente debería aplicarse a sí mismo”, dijo Clyburn a CNN al conocer el tuit. “Es una palabra que debemos usar con mucho cuidado”.

Trump suele tratar de presentarse como víctima.

En la víspera atacó a los críticos de su decisión _luego revocada_ de realizar una importante cumbre económica internacional en 2020 en un resort de golf de su propiedad en Florida. Se refirió a “ustedes que aluden al artículo falso sobre los emolumentos”.

El artículo aludido está en la Constitución y prohíbe al presidente recibir obsequios o pagos de gobiernos extranjeros sin autorización del Congreso.

lgunos demócratas ven con cierta aprensión el regreso de Hillary Clinton a la política con sus explosivas declaraciones en las que dijo que la aspirante a la nominación presidencial demócrata Tulsi Gabbard era “un instrumento de Rusia” y se burló de las relaciones de Donald Trump con líderes extranjeros.

Sus comentarios tuvieron fuerte repercusión y generaron críticas incluso de sus propios correligionarios demócratas.

Bernie Sanders, su rival en las primarias del 2016 y quien se postula de nuevo, dijo en Twitter que “la gente puede no estar de acuerdo sobre algo... pero es inaceptable que alguien insinúe que Tulsi es una

herramienta al servicio de intereses extranjeros”.

Larry Cohen, prominente integrante del Comité Nacional Demócrata y quien apoya a Sanders, opinó en una entrevista que las declaraciones de Clinton pueden terminar perjudicando al candidato que consiga la nominación.

Cohen sostuvo que Clinton, una exprimera dama que fue senadora y secretaria de estado, “dedicó su vida al Partido Demócrata y merece ser escuchada”, pero como veterana de la política debería “apoyar las posturas del partido y no dividir desde adentro”. Su choque con Gabbard y otros comentarios recientes indican que, a los 71 años, Clinton sigue siendo una figura controversial.

Sus colaboradores, no obstante, aseguran que no tiene intenciones

ulteriores.

“Es fácil buscarle segundas intenciones a todo lo que dice. Pero está de gira promoviendo un libro y siente que puede decir lo que quiera”, afirmó su portavoz Nick Merrill.

“Así de simple. Dice la verdad”.

El resultado de sus comentarios puede ser frustrante para quienes tratan de acceder a un cargo que Clinton perdió en dos oportunidades. Cory Booker, uno de los aspirantes a la nominación demócrata, dijo el lunes que “hay que enfocarse en ganar esta elección... en hablar de los temas importantes y no de cosas que, para mí, no son relevantes”.

No hay un libreto a seguir para los excandidatos a la presidencia, ni para los expresidentes.

uando las grandes mansiones de Newport Beach donde los ricos van de vacaciones quedaron vacías después del Memorial Day, Molly Munger decidió que era hora de que el gobierno empezase a considerar un impuesto a la riqueza.

Mientras su familia se ocupaba de su embarcación en el muelle hace algunos años, Munger, cuyo padre es un inversionista multimillonario, vio que muchas casas vecinas estaban vacantes, a oscuras. Sabía bien por qué: Sus propietarios tenían tanto dinero que podían irse a otra de las mansiones de lujo de su propiedad. Y le pareció que algo no funcionaba.

“Me impactó ver lo que pasa con los de arriba y lo que sucede con los de abajo”, comentó Munger, una abogada de 71 años, de California, especializada en derechos civiles, cuyo padre, Charlie, se hizo rico como vicepresidente de la firma de Warren Buffett. Munger es ahora una de un puñado de multimillonarios que promueven un impuesto a su riqueza y que se están desprendiendo de algunos de sus intereses. De hecho, alientan a los aspirantes a la nominación presidencial demócrata que promueven un nuevo impuesto a la riqueza, no a los ingresos.

“Creo en el mercado libre. Soy la hija de un capitalista. Pero no libre en el sentido darwiniano, sin regulaciones y despiadado”, manifestó Munger. El principal argumento de estos millonarios es que el gobierno puede gastar su dinero más eficientemente

que ellos en la mejoría de escuelas y de la infraestructura, y en la protección del medio ambiente. Va en contra de la vieja creencia de que los impuestos bajos para las empresas y los inversionistas son la mejor forma de generar crecimiento y distribuir la riqueza. La idea contradice asimismo la postura del multimillonario que ocupa la Casa Blanca, Donald Trump, quien alguna vez apoyó un impuesto a la riqueza pero en el 2017 impulsó una pronunciada reducción de impuestos que benefició a los ricos.

Veinte personas, incluida una que permaneció anónima, firmaron hace poco una carta en la que básicamente piden pagar más impuestos. El grupo incluyó al financista George Soros, al cofundador de Facebook Chris Hughes y a la heredera Abigail Disney, así como otras figuras involucradas en causas liberales. Bill Gates, la segunda persona más rica del mundo, no la firmó, pero ha dicho que “no me opondría a un impuesto a la riqueza” sobre patrimonios superiores a los 100.000 millones de dólares.

Los demócratas siempre postularon impuestos más altos para quienes más ganan, pero las últimas iniciativas van más allá: Lo que se discute es si fijar impuestos anuales sobre lo que la gente posee, no solo sobre lo que gana.

La senadora Elizabeth Warren, una de las favoritas de las primarias demócratas, apoya un impuesto a los patrimonios superiores a los 50 millones de dólares que podría generar 2.750

billones de dólares en diez años. Otro aspirante a la nominación demócrata, Bernie Sanders, propone un impuesto a los patrimonios de al menos 32 millones de dólares. En el debate presidencial de la semana pasada, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar y Beto O’Rourke se mostraron receptivos a la idea de un impuesto a la riqueza, en tanto que Tom Steyer habló de pagar más impuestos sobre su patrimonio de 1.600 millones de dólares.

El empresario Andrew Yang, por su parte, sostuvo que los impuestos a la riqueza aprobados en otras naciones no generaron los ingresos esperados. Joe Biden sostuvo que las propuestas de Warren y Sanders “demonizan la riqueza” y dijo que sería mejor enfocarse en los impuestos a las ganancias y en un aumento de las tasas que se cobra a las ganancias derivadas de inversiones.

Buena parte del establishment apoya la propuesta de Biden. Larry Summers, exsecretario del Tesoro y president de la Universidad de Harvard, dijo que es imposible hacer pagar un impuesto a la riqueza ya que los ricos siempre encontrarán formas de burlar-

John Kerry (demócrata) y John McCain (republican) retomaron calladamente sus funciones como senadores.

Al Gore (exvicepresidente demócrata) pasó a ser un firme promotor de medidas para combatir el cambio climático. Sarah Pailin, quien fue compañera de fórmula de McCaine, tuvo una presencia activa en los medios de prensa conservadores y ayudó a movilizar la base que llevó a Trump a la presidencia.

Clinton, sin embargo, está “en una categoría aparte”, expresó Karen Finney, una de sus principales colaboradoras de la campaña del 2016.

Clinton, la primera mujer postulada a la presidencia por uno de los partidos grandes y quien sacó 3 millones de votos más que Trump, sigue siendo popular entre los demócratas, a pesar de que se le echa en cara haber perdido estados vitales del centro del país en el 2016. También es uno de los blancos preferidos de los republicanos.

El revuelo actual comenzó hace una semana, cuando Clinton dijo en un podcast que los rusos “están preparando (a Gabbard) para que se postule como candidata por un tercer partido”.

Clinton no ofreció prueba alguna de que Moscú esté apoyando a Gabbard, aunque medios estatales rusos y algunos portales de extrema derecha han apoyado su campaña. Gabbard respondió diciendo que Clinton era “la reina de los belicistas... una personificación de la podredumbre que afecta al Partido Demócrata desde hace tanto tiempo”.

Trump también se hizo sentir. “Todo aquél que se oponga a ella es un agente ruso”, declaró en la Casa Blanca el lunes. “Esta gente está enferma. Algo no funciona con ellos”. Cohen subrayó que, a pesar de las críticas, Clinton puede ayudar a los demócratas a conseguir la presidencia en el 2020. El propio Booker la describió como una “extraordinaria estadista”.

Merrill indicó que Clinton conversa seguido con varios aspirantes a la nominación demócrata y Finney pronostica que “será parte de la campaña del 2020”.

Y si bien los republicanos siguen tirándole dardos, hay algunos que piensan que esos ataques no funcionarán tan bien como en el pasado.

“Todas las cosas que ella pronosticó en el 2016 se hicieron realidad”, expresó el estratega demócrata Rick Tyler.

“Tiene mucho peso. Es un factor a favor, no en contra, de los demócratas”.

Jueves |Octubre 24 - Octubre 30| 2019 lo. Promueve en su lugar cambios por los cuales los impuestos a las ganancias podrían generar más de 2.000 billones de dólares en diez años. Hay quienes dicen que la noción de que es imposible hacer que los ricos paguen impuestos está equivocada. Los ricos pagaron impuestos en el pasado, señala Emmanuel Sáez, economista de la Universidad de California de Berkley que ha estudiado el impuesto a la riqueza como herramienta para combatir las desigualdades.

“El sistema impositivo refleja los valores de la sociedad”, manifestó.

Un 1% de la población es dueña del 40% de la riqueza del país y un 50% no ejerce control alguno sobre la riqueza de la nación, de acuerdo con World Inaquality Database, un índice que Sáez ayudó a crear. Según sus cálculos, muchos de los estadounidenses que más ganan pagan impuestos proporcionalmente más bajos que el resto debido a la forma en que se gravan sus ingresos.

Ian Simmons, de 43 años, es uno de los súper-ricos dispuestos a pagar más impuestos.

Tiene un fondo de inversiones llamado Blue Haven Initiative junto con su esposa, Liesel Pritzker Simmons. Y se sumó a una campaña para reclutar familias adineradas

que apoyan el impuesto a la riqueza. La idea de cobrar impuestos que pueden generar billones de dólares encaja con lo que aprendió en la Universidad de Harvard, en una clase de Martin Feldstein, quien fue asesor económico del presidente Ronald Reagan.

“Esta es realmente una postura conservadora sobre cómo aumentar la estabilidad de la economía a largo plazo y tener una fuente eficiente de ingresos impositivos”, expresó. La fortuna de la familia de Simmons se hizo en parte con un servicio de ventas con entregas por correo, iniciado en 1872, que fue posible gra-

cias al servicio postal. La cadena de hoteles Hyatt que ayudó a cimentar la fortuna de la familia de su esposa fue posible gracias a la construcción de una red de carreteras.

Esa es una de las razones por las que respalda un impuesto a la riqueza: Porque la fortuna de su familia se deriva en parte de programas del gobierno.

Cuando Simmons llamó a Robert Bowditch, dueño de una fortuna inmobiliaria, para que apoyase la idea, el octogenario calculó qué impacto tendría ello en su estilo de vida.

Decidió que tendría que sacrificar algunas donaciones a obras caritativas, pero que los dividendos

serían muy superiores porque el público podría decidir de una forma democrática cómo gastar el dinero.

“Las obras caritativas en sí mismas no ofrecen suficiente dinero para apoyar las obras y servicios públicos, cosas como la educación pública, las carreteras y puentes, un aire limpio”, dijo Bowditch. “Para eso están los impuestos”. Los ricos que promovieron impuestos más altos tuvieron poco éxito hasta ahora.

La declaración de Buffett de que pagó impuestos a una tasa más baja que sus empleados en el 2011 hizo que el presidente Barack Obama propusiese

aumentar los impuestos de las personas que ganaban más de un millón de dólares. La “regla de Buffett”, sin embargo, se hundió en el Congreso.

En 1999, cuando consideraba una candidatura a la presidencia por el Partido de la Reforma, Trump propuso pagar por única vez un impuesto del 14,25% sobre las fortunas superiores a los 10 millones de dólares que podían eliminar la deuda nacional.

“Todos salen ganando”, dijo Trump en esa ocasión. Cuando se le preguntó si el mandatario sigue apoyando esa propuesta, la Casa Blanca no respondió.
