STATE OF THE CITY For those who missed the "State of the City" address and presentation last Thursday, we present mayor Bonnie Wright's speech, with limited editing.

HSJC | STAFF WRITERS

"We cannot stride with confidence toward the future without honoring lessons learned, community leaders, and contributors that paved the path to where we are today. Many mayors and councils came before us, but they have passed

the leadership of this city to us. People may not realize how valuable our town is until we, ourselves, tell the story.

Everything we are and have accomplished is because we worked for it.

Thank you for the incredible

he dawning of Monday, November 11, 2019, in the San Jacinto Valley was filled with sunshine, hope and it was also a time to reflect on times and places that were turbulent and uncertain. Times when families were torn apart as was the country and the world, From Bunker Hill to Pearl Harbor and even unto today when there is so much hatred and division among the nations.

It was the 12th annual Veterans Day Celebration held at the Golden Era Golf Course and certainly one of the most heavily attended.

As soft breezes swept across the golf course in a summertime atmosphere, it might have been the prelude to a carnival or bazaar. But it wasn't, and if anyone thought that, they were at the wrong location.

The celebration of heroes both living and dead reminded us all that without readiness in peace, there is no assurance in conflict. The nation celebrated the American will to be

free, stay free and protect freedom for all.

The keynote speaker for our event was 36th District Congressman Raul Ruiz, who addressed several hundred citizens who turned out to honor all veterans, both living and deceased, who stood tall and firm in our many battles to spread the idea of freedom for all, and especially to protect our own.

Congressman Ruiz declared, "This is a holy day for veterans, and it is our veterans who have put their country above themselves and have made the United States of America the most remarkable and strongest nation in the world." He pointed out specifically that, "those who have served have earned our respect," and that we should treat our veteran s with acts of kindness."

He was quite forceful in announcing that "Our doors are open to any veteran who needs assistance," and urged veterans to inquire as to what is their right in services if they haven't already done so" He also said, "No veteran should be homeless."

Let's get real folks. Should anyone

World War II Veteran, Dwayne (Bud) Armand, a Hemet resident, was presented with a Congressional Recognition by the Congressman.

There were only a couple of WW II Veterans in attendance because the number who still live are dwindling daily.

Local organizations in the community, i.e., Hemet Elks, Authority Real Estate of Hemet and Golden Era Productions, were recognized as sponsors of the annual tribute.

Muriel Dufresne, Community Affairs Director of Golden Era Production, said the event was "Salute to Our Veterans, honored men and women of our nation's armed services for their bravery, dedication and contribution to freedom in America."

However, there was more to the day than speeches. Under perfect blue skies, a flyover was performed by a very daredevil pit in what appeared to be a twin wing plane sal-

staff, and administrators, we truly do Transform Learners, Transform Communities, Transform Lives.”

Schultz and other college administrators unveiled plans for the new Temecula Valley Campus, which opens in Fall 2020; two STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) buildings at the San Jacinto and Menifee Valley campuses; a Student Center at the Menifee Valley Campus; and a new 5,000seat stadium in Menifee that would host games and community events beginning in 2023.

Schultz also discussed the college’s free tuition program.

“Because we know the cost of tuition can prevent students from attending college, we created the MSJC Promise earlier this year that allows first-time, full-time students to attend MSJC tuition free,” he said.

More information can be found at msjc.edu/free.

He also shared information about the MSJC Foundation’s Pledge for Success, a basic-needs initiative that helps students with emergency food; books and supplies; professional clothing; basic, essential hygienic items; and emergency funding.

“The Pledge for Success

honor and privilege of presenting my second state of the city presentation.

I extend thanks to my colleagues who continue to demonstrate their passion for our community, and thanks to the Hemet City staff who work tirelessly to make sure that our residents and stakeholders get top notch service.

Most importantly, I thank the residents of Hemet.

All of you who choose to run a business here, live here, and shop here—you are what make this community great.

We are committed to collaboration, endurance, and hard work.

Just think of the businesses that have weathered tough times here in the city.

I immediately am reminded of Steer-n-Stein.

Throughout the economic downturn, restaurants like Applebee’s and Sizzler opened and closed, but Steer’n’Stein remained— much like many of our city’s thriving businesses.

In light of that, we recently launched the Mayor’s Business Advisory Group and had our first meeting last month. The whole idea is to work with businesses through their issues to help them toward success.

A lot of challenges came to our attention in just one meeting, and I am excited to work alongside our city’s businesses to grow our economy. It isn’t always about the success for us at this point, it is more about welcoming those who need help. I am happy to report that La Michoacana Victoria recently opened after being a part of our Advisory Group; and although we didn’t have a chance to meet Tacos N Beer, at the Advisory Group, I have personally dined there, and highly recommend their restaurant. Thank you again, for choosing Hemet.

We have seen incredible growth in just one year, and our staff has worked diligently to ensure that we can sustain long-term success through budget solvency, and efficient service delivery.

This past June, the council adopted a completely balanced budget, maintaining the city’s 20% reserve for emergencies and maintaining the current service levels.

You, the community, are a vital part of this process.

The Hemet City Council extends our sincere appreciation for your confidence and trust in us to steward the funds openly and honestly.

When Measure (U) was passed, the Council fully committed the funds to public safety, and with that, both the Fire and Police Departments committed to bolstering their manpower; their technology; and overall improving service to the community… I don’t know about you all, but the people that serve in these two forces make me so proud to be a part of the Hemet City Team. Thank you, Police and Fire, for all that you do to keep our community safe. We are committed to doing all that we can to maintain the safety of you all who run toward danger while we take cover.

from A1 As the wellness director, Shannon Moore hires, supervises, and mentors care associates. Executive director Chantelle Hudson says, “Shannon is a fixture for all the associates in the community. She is someone they can confide in.

She works hands-on with the associates to teach them and help them grow.” Moore also serves as a mentor for employees of other Cascade Living Group communities in the region.

Moore also has a direct impact on residents and families. She meets with families regularly to review charts and service plans, and she will often help families care for residents at the end of life. While sitting vigil with a resident, she turned on an iPod and joined him in singing his favorite country songs.

www.HSJChronicle.com

This brought him a sense of calm.

Moore grew up in the foster care system. She volunteers for United Peace Officers Against Crime, an organization that provides camps for children who are in foster care. She says she gives back to this organization because, “I want these kids to know that I have been where they are and not to give up…you can be whatever you want to be.”

ABOUT SENIOR LIVING IN CALIFORNIA Currently, nearly 180,000 Californians are residents in Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities and the need continues to grow. These communities provide residents with the care they need to perform activities of daily living, medication management, social activities, housekeeping, meals, and transpor-

tation; some communities also offer dementia care programs and health-related services. A 2016 study commissioned by CALA showed that staff has a positive impact on residents’ quality of life. Ninety-eight percent of residents say the staff members in their communities are friendly and 94 percent say they receive the help they need.

ABOUT CALA With more than 650 provider members, CALA is the only association solely representing the state’s Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly, which encompass Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Continuing Care Retirement Communities. CALA provides leadership through advocacy efforts and education to support providers in their efforts to offer the highest quality programs and services to their residents.

ATTENDES: A capacity crowd at the address. | Photo by Mark Lentine With the inception of Measure U funding, Hemet Fire Department has been able to improve emergency response by adding 6 additional employees who encompass a full medic squad, and 3 fire captains that contribute to the fully staffed Station 5 that serves East Hemet. The Department’s response times continue to improve, with its current time for a unit to arrive on scene being 8 minutes from when the call is placed.

Our 109-year-old Fire Department responded to 16,510 calls for service in 2018! They rendered emergency medical service to 14,000 people; responded to 552 fires; dispatched to 1,818 non-emergency calls; and, were on the frontlines of EVERY MAJOR FIRE INCIDENT in California!

In the coming year, Measure U will fund modern breathing apparatus, protective equipment, a call taker, and a fire truck!

Last year Measure U funded 6 additional Police Department staff members, including 2 Dispatchers and 2 Community Service Officers. This year, three new vehicle requests, a radio system replacement, and two public safety operators will be funded. It is clear that our continued investment helps the Department, because in this past year, crime continued its downward trend, as the department focused its effort toward community engagement."

The mayor then went on to thank McCrometer as a staple in our community, while guests dined on the excellent breakfast prepared and served by HSJC's own pastry chef/food connoisseur Allysun the Uhmayzing of madamconfection, and Destination Coffee Bar owner Nick Yepremian.

The mayor also went on to site other businesses: "More than 65 years ago, the Hemet Valley Medical Center opened.

Over 90 years ago, the Ramona Bowl premiered its first season.

And almost 100 years ago, the Hemet Theatre premiered its first showing.

These iconic staples of our community have stood the test of time, served thousands of patrons, and

still maintained their character, their mission and goals, and their home here in Hemet.

We are proud to be home to McCrometer and many other long-standing businesses.

Thank you for choosing Hemet."

Ms. Wright went on to say: "(The) City Clerk’s Office has improved both transparency and efficiency by streamlining agenda management workflow, improving Public Records Act requests, adding useful information on the City website for residents, and developing a retention schedule and records management manual.

Our Administrative and Legal staff have continued to survey outdated protocols and policies that we haven’t revisited in years, and a lot of records in multiple departments are getting transferred to digital databases for public access.

As we adopt new processes and fine tune the current ones, it is important to acknowledge that growth and change are challenging. I want to be intentional about allowing a moment for us all to be proud of choosing to embrace change. Hemet is opening the doors to innovation, diversity in thought and opinion; it is through this collective process, that Hemet will continue to grow into a thriving Riverside County community.

It has been a long time coming, but we are definitely moving forward.

It is impossible to look behind us and not be confident in what lies ahead for our community. As your Mayor, and Council Member, I want to encourage you to use the lessons from our past to succeed in the future—that is what this team is committed to doing. We will continue to position ourselves to engage our residents, businesses, and neighbors as we grow.

I encourage you to get out into the city, visit the shops that have chosen to serve our community, and recognize that more and more businesses are finding the value in our city. I am incredibly excited for what is on the horizon for Hemet. There will be challenges but there will also be successes. Together we will work through them for positive outcomes.

Before going, I would like to thank both Madam Confection and (the) Destination Café for making the delicious meal this morning."

The Hemet-San Jacinto Chronicle appreciates the time and transparency show by the Mayor and City Council in meeting with our staff.

INCIDENT DATE: Various

On November 8, 2019, a minor female contacted deputies to report a sexual assault at her church. Deputies learned that Sean Ortiz, a 51-year old Jurupa Valley resident and Lead Pastor at New Beginnings Community Church in the city of Jurupa Valley, sexually assaulted a minor female parishioner at the church on at least

two separate occasions. Ortiz was located at his residence and arrested. He was subsequently booked into Robert Presley Detention Center for sexual assault related charges.

Any information related to this incident please contact investigators at the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station by calling SEAN ORTIZ |Riverside County Sheriff’s Department (951) 955-2600.

In the process of developing the weekly Crime Report for Hemet, we utilize the CommunityCrimeMap.com webpage and for Valle Vista and San Jacinto, we employ the CrimeReports.com webpage to source our information. The City of Hemet Police Department and the San Jacinto Police/Riverside County Sheriff Department’s report their respective incidents of crime to these webpages from which we select the most serious crimes and attempt to reflect proportionality between cities as provided in FBI/UCR statistics. Occasionally however, these police agencies do not immediately report their crime incidents, at which time TVC weekly crime report lacks updated information for a given city for the period in question. We always try to be accurate with available crime information but rely on these sources that sometimes may be incomplete or nonexistent.

Beaumont will be returning both of their leading scorers, Riley Sutton and Jayden Fordham. They only graduated four kids last year, so they have a really good shot at repeating as champions. Citrus Hill and Hemet finished tied for second place with a 7-3 record on the season.

Citrus Hill is returning

their two leading scores from last season, but they're losing two key players in the lineup due to graduation. I don’t expect them to miss a beat heading into this season.

Roman Swizek returns to Hemet for his junior season as last year's leading scorer, joined by Max Moore. The two of them form an elite defensive backcourt as well as a lot of potential spot-up shooting. The big question is their front court: rumors are Adrian Ludwig moved to West Valley which leaves a big hole to be filled. Hopefully Hemet can find someone to grab rebounds and defend the paint.

San Jacinto should improve this year. Last year they went 2-8 in league. This year players like Kajiya Hollawayne, Sheldon Newton, and Damonce Williams will return to compete in the

league. The addition of Antoine Sullivan should make a huge difference. Sullivan lead Tahquitz in points last year and brings intense energy to the defensive side of the ball. His leadership and skills should definitely help San Jacinto improve on their record from last year.

One drawback: Sullivan has to serve a "transfer penalty" before he is actually allowed to play.

Tahquitz went 4-6 last year, but losing Sullivan is a huge blow to the team.

They graduated five seniors last year and lost Sullivan to SJ: that is over half the team. Tahquitz will basically suit up a brand new roster.

Jayden Haywood and Darius Bennett will be leading this team now. It is hard to know exactly how they will play based on how much of the roster is changing.

West Valley will improve

Joshua Edwards, Elijah Edwards, and Adrian Ludwig make up the three-headed monster at West Valley who

will be trying to re-assert themselves as the top dogs. It has been a tough climb back up the mountain since they won CIF in 2009. Is this the roster that will bring them back to the top of the league?

he first round of the CIF playoffs was eventful for our Mountain Pass League teams. Citrus Hill went up against a very tough opponent. Yorba Linda High School was favored to win this game in the matchup and they lived up to expectations. Citrus Hill came into the game knowing that they were the underdogs, but embraced the role and hoped to shock the Valley. Although they had a valiant idea, it never quite translated to the field. In the first quarter of the game both defenses were adamant that they wanted to be the bullies. Neither offense was able to get into the endzone, but Yorba Linda started to figure things out.

They put up a touchdown in both the second and third quarter then put the nail in the coffin with two more touchdowns in the fourth.

Yorba Linda would go on to win the game 28-0 finishing off Citrus Hill’s season. 7-4 was not what the team was hoping for this season, but it was Coach McMains first season as Citrus Hill’s head coach and there is always a learning curve when a new regime steps in. They will look to come back next season and re-assert themselves as the top dogs in the league.

Beaumont came into the playoffs as the number one seed in the playoffs. A lot of people had them as their pick to be in the champion-

ship game. Linfield Christian wasn’t having any of that.

They came in to this game ready to make a statement and put the rest of the division on notice. Beaumont jumped out to an early lead, but could never quite finish Linfield off. The game really lacked defense from both teams. Both offenses took turns scoring the football back and forth. However the game wasn’t without controversy: Beaumont had a touchdown called back on them due to a referees “accidental whistle” giving Linfield a chance to catch up. Lindfield’s running back and Hemet native Justin Manqueros carried his team on his back, running for 194 yards with three touchdowns.

The final score was 47-42.

Linfield Christian will be moving on to the next round and Beaumont's season is now over.

Hemet traveled to El Monte to take on Arroyo High School. On paper this looked like Hemet’s game to lose, but in the first quarter it appeared that the matchup was closer than it appeared on paper. Both teams struggled to get anything going, especially Hemet. Their kicker struggled to find his mark early. This field goal kicker (Lance Macintosh) served as Asaiah Aguilar’s replacement since Aguilar was injured mid-way through the season. Lance missed a few field goals throughout the game and coach Gregovich decided to go back to Asa-

iah Aguilar who entered the game and handed business.

The slow start wouldn't haunt Hemet: they would go on to win the game 4820 led by Jeremiah Graves’ 226 passing yards, 4 passing touchdowns, 130 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown. Hemet’s wide receiver and HSJC All-Valley receiver Ethan Leonard caught three of those touchdowns. Hemet is moving on to the second round.

San Jacinto welcomed Apple Valley to The Jungle.

This game looked like it was going to be a tough one from the first kick-off. Both teams' defenses were holding their own and limiting the yards the other team was able to put down. Apple Valley struck first while establishing their run game, running it right between the Center and Guards over and over again.

It didn’t take long for San Jacinto to figure out Apple Valley’s game plan and make adjustments. Both teams scored in the first quarter, and went into halftime tied 7-7. Kameron Rocha & Antoine Sullivan each intercepted the ball and Apple Valley abandoned the pass game because of it. Kajiya Hollawayne and the rest of the offense began to shine after the half by scoring 21 points.

The defense still struggled to contain the run. Apple Valley scored 14 more points, but didn’t quite have enough to get the job done. San Jacinto won this game 21-28 and advances to the next round of the playoffs.

R

ound two of the playoffs start this week.

There are only two teams standing in the Mountain Pass League. In our first game of the week Kaiser (out of Fontana) will take on San Jacinto. Kaiser comes into the game with a perfect regular season record of 10-0. They won their first round matchup last week against Redondo Union 16-3. Although Kaiser’s record looks impressive as well as their margin of victory, there is something to be said of their opponent's and strength of schedule.

They haven’t quite matched to another school with the same quality athletes that SJ has on their team. Kajiya Hollawayne (QB for SJ) is only a Junior and already has multiple D-1 offers.

Other players that should be getting attention from colleges on the San Jacinto roster are; Sheldon Newton, Kameron Rocha, Juan Denny Jr, Antoine Sullivan, Damonce Williams, Keith Hunter, LJ Vaifanua. Kelvin Davis, and Nathan Ortiz.

All of these players possess the ability to change the game at any given moment.

Kaiser’s game is based on running the ball...their quarterback Trey Tribble is the leading rusher. They run a lot of RPO (Run-Pass Option) and Option Read, in their play book. Their passing game is very minimum Tribble only threw

KAJIYA HOLLAWAYNE: Will lead his team into round 2 against Kaiser | Photo by Kyle Headlee

for 19 more yards (1163) than he rushed (1144) for the season. He has thrown 10 touchdowns and 4 interceptions on the year. Tribble is also the team leader in rushing touchdowns (13).

Compare this to San Jacinto’s Kajiya Hollawayne who has twice as many passing yards and touchdowns against much tougher opponents. Hollawayne has 200 less rushing yards than Tribble, but has the same amount (13) of rushing touchdowns.

Both teams possess the capability to score quickly. I expect this matchup to be tough for both offenses.

We will see which team is able to impose their will against the other in order to advance into the next round. Hemet will be welcoming El Rancho into the Dog Pound this week. This will be a tough matchup for Hemet. El Rancho is ranked in the top 200 (188)

Pre-Inspection for housing authority Apartment registration Mold removal and repair

while Hemet is ranked 262.

The good thing for Hemet is that the two schools will be competing with each other on their best sides of the ball. El Rancho’s game is through the air. Hemet’s strength? Pass Defense.

Two of their defensive backs made the Hemet & San Jacinto Chronicle All-Valley team (Bradley Fye & Frankie Castillo): that doesn’t mean you can forget about the always exciting Jeremiah Graves. Graves has over 1500 passing yards and over 500 rushing yards on the season. He can get the job done when he needs too. His number one receiver, Ethan Leonard (over 800 yards and 10 touchdowns) will be ready to control the game.

Both teams are playing at home this week so go out and support them as they make bids to be CIF champions. Games start at 7:00 and tickets are $10.

NOLI INDIAN SCHOOL

Noli Celebrates Homecoming MIKE HILES | CONTRIBUTED

I

t took weeks of designing and planning for the final display of floats to be ready for the Noli Indian School Homecoming Parade on Nov. 1. Grades six through 12 each made a float to match this year’s fairy tale theme. The Soboba Tribal Preschool joined in with their own interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood. “Our parent committee did everything,� Preschool director Dianne King said. “They even made their own Instagram page for this.�

One of the parents made 3D flowers and a grandmother to one of the students made and donated balloon “trees� to replicate the forest from the story. Stephanie Guacheno has been on the committee for the past eight years, since her first child attended the school. “The kids had a lot of fun and riding on the float gives them all a chance to dress up and give away the little candy bags they made,� she said.

The parade left the school’s Soboba Reservation parking

lot and traveled about two miles up Castile Canyon Road to get to The Oaks football field before the 6:30 p.m. game started. It took about 30 minutes for all the floats to arrive as they stopped along the way so students could toss candy to residents, friends and family members who were parked or seated along the parade route.

Class floats depicted some Disney classics such Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin among other creative entries. First place prize for best float went to the Class of 2026 (sixth grade) for their retelling of Coco, a movie with a Day of the Dead storyline. Second place was awarded to the eighth-grade class of 2024 for its fantastic duplication of the pirate ship from Peter Pan. The cheer squad, which placed third, played up Alice in Wonderland with sophomore Thalia Morreo in a blue dress and white apron as the young Alice. The team’s coach, Bridget Lowe, also teaches math to high school students at Noli. The 16 cheerleaders got to be on

one of the first floats in the parade because the girls had to get for the game.

Following the school safety staff and its recreation of characters from Maleficent were Grand Marshals Antonia Venegas and Louis Rivera. Voted by the student body, Venegas said she was honored to be chosen. She’s been on the Noli school board for four years and is currently serving as president. She regularly helps the students with food fundraisers. “It’s great to be here – football’s my thing,� she said. “I have brothers, cousins and other relatives on the team.�

After all the floats were parked at The Oaks, students began tearing them down. “It’s a tradition,� senior Timothy Salgado said. “We take them all apart and those that put in a lot of work take some of the pieces home.

The little kids get pumped that they get to take some things, too. It’s very exciting for everyone.�

The football game was dominated by the Noli Braves as they defeated the rival team from Indio’s Riverside

COCO: The sixth-grade class from Noli Indian School placed first in the homecoming parade float contest for its elaborate “Cocoâ€? depiction. | Photo courtesy of the Soboba Band of LuiseĂąo Indians Education Academy Tigers.

The final score was 58-16.

Coach Robert Stover and Assistant Coach Jesse Aguilar said the team has been strong all season long and were glad the players could keep up the momentum through this important game.

Halftime was all about royalty as the Homecoming Court was introduced and the King and Queen were chosen. Lowe took over the microphone from the play-by-play announcer to welcome the court to the 50-

yard line.

Freshman Class Sweethearts were Sica Rivera and John Briones III, both Soboba tribal members. Sophomore Class Duchess was Caitlyn Briones (Cahuilla) and Duke was Edwin Muro (Soboba). Junior Class Princess was Shania House (Navajo) and Prince was Jerome Salgado III (Cahuilla).

Senior Class Queen nominees were Bailee Lindsey (Soboba), Monique Arres (Soboba), Shalea Luna (Pala) and Tishmal Herre-

ra (La Jolla). Tishmal, who is on the cheer squad, was crowned queen.

Senior Class King nominees were Jarred Briones (Soboba), Anthony Chapparosa (Los Coyotes) and Shaun Molina (Soboba).

Jarred, who plays with jersey No. 15 on the Braves football team, was crowned king.

A dance afterwards at the Old Tribal Hall was a celebration of a great game, a coming together of the school’s alumni and a chance to have fun with friends and family.

BIBLE WORLD ANSWERS

’m sure many of you reading this have experienced Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride at Disneyland.

It’s been one of the most popular rides in the park for decades!

Just in case you missed the ride, here’s how it works: following a snaking line for a very long time, you eventually find yourself seated in a colorful, early 1900’s motorcars hurl madly through the streets of old London. After narrow escapes, crashing brick walls, and some really scary driving, you ultimately find yourself in a jury-less courtroom where a fiery judge proclaims you guilty!

Seconds later you’re facing a loud oncoming train and that’s the end-you think.

But the final scene finds the passengers in Hell. Yikes!!

And it all happened so fast!

Of course, you eventually escape “Hell” as you blast back into “The happiest place on earth” and continue your romp though Disneyland. But I have to wonder how many people, just like Mr Toad, are busy

SUSAN BECKETT | Courtesy Photo living life while moving at breakneck speed toward their final destination?!

It's a terrible topic isn’t it? And it's one that most people just love to ignore!!

It’s the “Que Sera, Sera” attitude for most people. ("What will be will be").

“Que Sera, Sera” also seems to be the attitude many have about God and heaven, so why worry!

What will be will be! Heaven will surely be there for anybody and everybody traveling this wild ride on planet earth. Believing there are many paths to heaven - also believing they are on one of those many paths. Or are they?!

I recently heard a pastor

1) Old 2) 1 3) Jacob

4) Job 5) Sheep 6) Annas

e l a s

His love for the world this way: He gave His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not face everlasting destruction, but will have everlasting life.”

Truth.

But on the flip side of that truth, I recently came across one of the most fraudulent and ignorant un-truths I’ve ever read!

Ever!! It was penned by Frederick the Great: “All religions must be tolerated…for every man must get to heaven in his own way.” NOT! In fact, Proverbs 14:12 says that “There is a way that seems right to a man but its end is the way of death.” Another truth.

One last terrific observation by a fellow church pastor: “If it’s true that Christ was correct in saying that faith in Himself is the only way to heaven, then sharing that truth is a demonstration of love, not hatred, toward unbelievers!” Truth again!

share about an incident he had with a fellow passenger on an airplane. Turned out the man seated next to the pastor had walked away from Christianity citing how unfair and mean-spirited it was of Christianity to teach that there was only one path to heaven - that path being Jesus. He told the pastor he would never believe in a God who was so narrow-minded.

The pastor thought for a moment and then asked the man this question: “Let’s suppose” he said, “that this plane crash-landed soon after takeoff. The plane is totally engulfed in fire and smoke is quickly filling the cabin. You hear the stewardess loudly instructing the passengers that there is only one way out - and she is standing by that exit pointing the only way to safety. You either exit the plane via that doorway or you perish in the fire. Is she being narrow-minded and mean-spirited or is she actually showing you the only path to safety, desperately trying to save your life?

That scene is this Bible verse in a nutshell: John 3:16: “For God expressed

Sherry Lynn Tercero February 15, 1957 - November 6, 2019 Sherry Lynn Tercero age 62, born to Roger Henry and Leatrice Joy Crawford ( Nee Anderson) in Rockford, Illinois, February 15, 1957, went with the Lord after a long illness November 6, 2019. A longtime resident of Hemet, she graduated from Hemet High School in 1975 where she served as a cheerleader.

Sherry was very active in the community, as a member of the Hemet-San Jacinto Jay-Cee’s, she worked many a Ramona Pageant, served as chairperson on several Christmas parades and chaired the Miss HemetSan Jacinto Pageant. She had many jobs and spent 25 plus years in the medical field. Sherry loved spending time with her family and friends.

Traveling, cruises, summers in Big Bear and the beach. Thomas Kincaid and oh yes, Elvis.

Preceded in death by her father Roger Henry, 1990, and her mother Leatrice Joy in September 2019.

She is survived by her husband of 36 years, Russell. Her sons and 7 grandchildren. Brad ( Erin), Hailey and Jackson; Joshua ( Nicole), Cole, Tyler, Landon, Cameron; Christian ( Ashley) Sawyer. Her brother Roger Michael Crawford (Roxie) Niece Patricia (Rick) Liliana, Alicia and RJ Cazaras. Sister-in-law Linda Goodman; Nieces Aylassa, Emma, Rose, Sarah, Hanna and Nephew Elija.

Sherry is loved by many and will be missed by more. A celebration of life honoring Sherry will be held on Friday, November 15, 2019 at 1PM at McWane Family Funeral Home, 350 N. San Jacinto St. Hemet, California 92543. Interment will be at Riverside National Cemetery with immediate family at a later date.

vaged from World War I that brought gasps from onlookers, flying so low as to "mow the grass without touching the ground" and off again. It was something a child might read about in a comic book, reminding this reporter of days long past when crop dusters performed such breathtaking chances. Those planes, as well as some other relics from previous wars, might be seen at the Props and Jet Museum of Hemet out at Ryan Field on the west end of town.

The California Riverside Pipe Band performed "A Scottish Soldier," which will bring a lump in the throat or tears to the eyes to anyone who understands the loss from battle and the feelings suffered by survivors. This was followed by The Riverside Sheriff Department Mounted Posse presentation of the colors.

The San Jacinto High School Chamber Choir performed the national anthem, and the award-winning San Jacinto High School R .O. T. C. rifle drill team demonstrated competence of almost disbelief with a flawless drill routine. These youngsters appeared to be combat-ready if anyone had any doubt about preparedness. One wonders if these innocent students will someday be called upon to lay down their lives to protect our freedoms. If that thought doesn't touch your heart, I fear you have heart problems. Any one of them,

U. S. Navy Veteran Virgal Woolfolk, a resident of Beaumont, who was part of the military task force to free the American hostages in Iran and later served during the Gulf War, delivered a very simple but meaningful invocation.

"For each and every venter," he said, "who has served our country through the years, we thank you for your sacrifice. Comfort those who struggle in life after war, Help us to honor and care for those who have given so much for us," he said.

The ceremonies ended with a five-gun rifle salute by the American Legion Post 53 Honor Detail team and fallowed by the audiences accompanying Golden Era's own Linda Greilich and the San Jacinto High School Chamber Choir in a loud and glorious rendition of "America The Beautiful."

A complimentary Lun-

cheon, served by Authority Real Estate followed and there was free golf for all veterans I had the honor of front row seats with San Jacinto Mayor Russ Ut, Congressman Ruiz, Muriel Dufresne and my longtime friend Virgal Woolfolk. To say I was moved would be a vast understatement. Veterans from every war from World War II to whatever we call the mess in the Middle East and their families were present.

I am one of those veterans.

I reflected back to my childhood, long before I ever put on a uniform, and remembered that during the 1930's kids bought bubble gum that came with Indian and Cowboy cards and War Cards that told stories of heroes and battles. The one thing I never forgot and I don't think I ever will was a simple statement on the War Cards that said, "To know the Horrors of War is to Want Peace." Who among us dare not say Amen to that?

New testimony against Trump as impeachment goes public

POLITICAL CARTOONS

TESTIMONY: Career Foreign Service officer George Kent and top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine William Taylor, right, are sworn in to testify during the first public impeachment hearing of the House Intelligence Committee on Capitol Hill, Wednesday Nov. 13, 2019 in Washington. | AP Photo/Andrew Harnik

Department.

Taylor said his staff recently told him they overheard Trump’s phone call with another diplomat, Ambassador Gordon Sondland, at a restaurant the day after Trump’s July 25 phone call with the new leader of Ukraine that sparked the impeachment investigation. The staffer explained that Sondland had called the president and Trump could be heard asking about “the investigations.”

Sondland told the president the Ukrainians were ready to move forward, Taylor testified Wednesday’s session unspooled in a formal, columned room on Capitol Hill, detailing the striking yet complicated allegation of a president using foreign policy for personal political gain.

Both sides tried to distill it into soundbites.

Democrats said Trump was engaged in “bribery” and “extortion.” Republicans said nothing really happened -- the military aid Trump was withholding from Ukraine while he pushed for the investigations was ultimately released.

The GOP lawmakers demanded anew that they hear in closed session from the whistleblower whose complaint about Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s leader led to the inquiry.

Democrats said the person’s identity must be protected but also agreed to consider the request again later.

Across the country, millions of Americans were

fied behind closed doors.

Wednesday signaled the start of at least two weeks of public hearings as the proceedings spill into the open.

A key Trump ally on the panel, Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, mockingly called Taylor the Democrats’ “star witness” and said he’d “seen church prayer chains that are easier to understand than this.”

Taylor, a West Point graduate and former Army infantry officer in Vietnam, responded: “I don’t consider myself a star witness for anything.”

The top Republican on the panel, Rep. Devin Nunes of California, said Trump had a “perfectly good reason” for wanting to investigate the role of Democrats in 2016 election interference, giving airtime to a theory that runs counter to mainstream U.S. intelligence which found that Russia intervened and favored Trump.

Nunes accused the Democratic majority of conducting a “scorched earth” effort to take down the president after the special counsel’s Russia investigation into the 2016 election failed to spark impeachment proceedings.

“We’re supposed to take these people at face value when they trot out new allegations?” said Nunes, a top Trump ally.

Both Taylor and Kent delivered heartfelt history lessons about Ukraine, a young and hopeful democracy, situated next to Russia but reaching out to the West.

POLITICAL BRIEFS RIVERSIDE

GASOLINE PRICE Average Riverside County Gas Price Drops For 10th Consecutive Day The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Riverside County dropped today for the 10th consecutive day, decreasing 1 cent to $3.975, its lowest amount since Sept. 28.

The average price has dropped 5.4 cents over the past 10 days, including seven-tenths of a cent on Tuesday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

The decreases follow a five-day streak of increases totaling 3 cents.

The average price is 4.9 cents less than one week ago and 18.4 cents lower than one month ago but 34.3 cents higher than one year ago. It has risen 70.7 cents since the start of the year.

“Gas prices are declining as would be expected at this time of year because it is the lowest demand period and stations are selling fuel that is cheaper to produce,” said Marie Montgomery, a public relations specialist with the Automobile Club of Southern California, referring to winter blend gasoline. “As long as no further supply concerns arise, we would expect prices to continue declining through the Thanksgiving holiday and the end of the year.”

tuning in — or, in some cases, deliberately tuning out.

The country has been here only three times before, but the proceedings were landing on a jaded and weary public, with little certainty they would change minds.

A vote to impeach could come before yearend in the Democratic House. Even if approved, however, conviction in the Republican Senate is considered highly unlikely.

At the start of Wednesday’s session, Rep. Adam Schiff, the Democratic chairman of the Intelligence Committee, outlined the question at the core of the impeachment inquiry -- whether the president abused his office for political gain.

“The matter is as simple and as terrible as that,” said Schiff of California. “Our answer to these questions will affect not only the future of this presidency but the future of the presidency itself.”

Trump engaged in counter-programming from the White House, with rapid-fire tweets, a video from the Rose Garden and a dismissive retort from the Oval Office as he met with another foreign leader.

“It’s a witch hunt, it’s a hoax,” he said again as he appeared with visiting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by his side.

The witnesses defied White House instructions not to appear. Both Taylor and Kent received subpoenas.

Both also had told their stories before. They are among a dozen current and former officials who testi-

top American diplomat revealed new evidence Wednesday of President Donald Trump’s efforts to press Ukraine to investigate political rivals as House investigators launched public impeachment hearings for just the fourth time in the nation’s history.

William Taylor, the highest-ranking U.S. official in Ukraine, said for the first time that Trump was overheard asking another ambassador about “the investigations” he’d urged Ukraine’s leader to conduct one day earlier. Taylor said he learned of Trump’s phone call with the ambassador only in recent days.

It was all part of what Taylor called the “irregular channel,” a shadow foreign policy orchestrated by the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, outside traditional oversight that raised alarms in diplomatic and national security circles.

Republicans retorted that the Democrats still have no more than second- and third-hand knowledge of allegations that Trump held up millions of dollars in military aid for the Eastern European nation facing Russian aggression in return for Ukrainian investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democratic National Committee.

The hearing, the first on television for the nation to see, provided hours of partisan back-and-forth but so far no singular moment etched in the public consciousness as grounds for removing the 45th president from office. Trump, who was meeting at the White House with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, declared he was “too busy” to watch.

The long day of testimony unfolded partly the way Democrats leading the inquiry wanted: in the somber tones of two career foreign service officers who described confusion both within the U.S. government and in Ukraine about what Trump wanted from Kyiv.

Taylor testified alongside George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary at the State

Service dogs and vets: A perfect match SANDY DEE | COLUMNIST

A message about Self-Help & Self-Sabotage

Next Step Service Dogs (NSSD) Graduation: October, 2019 Congratulations to the Class of 2019!

I was so excited to be part of this event!

A

s you will see in the coming year, A Pawsability 4 Veterans (apawsibilityforveterans.org) will be collaborating with Next Step Service Dogs (nextstepservicedogs.org) to bring service dog training to the Hemet and the SJ Valley.

On Sunday October 6th, 2019, Next Step Service Dogs held a graduation ceremony for 21 dogs in their service dog program.

This was the first year it was held at Kit Carson Park, in Escondido, California. What a great turn out with family and friends attending! Next Step Service Dogs is a 501c3, not-for-profit-organization. Its mission is to “renew the life of Veterans through service dog placement, training and education by mobilizing public and private resources.”

NSSD has trained and paired many dogs with Veterans and aims to relieve the symptoms of PTSD and TBI from which many veterans suffer. They do this with the companionship and support of a service dog. With this, a veteran’s life is changed.

The event allowed for the opportunity to hear how these loving and supportive service dogs have changed the lives of countless Veterans. Each Veteran was offered a moment to discuss how the use of a service dog has been instrumental in changing their lives. Hearing how some of these Veterans couldn’t leave their homes, or socialize until they found their service dog, gives everyone a reason to stand behind what this organization has to offer.

Gerald Chase, Founder and chairman of Cloverlane Foundation and Veterans Mobility Projects announced his new role as Chief Executive Officer of Next Step Service Dogs.

He spent some time discussing his goal to assist more Veterans in obtaining service dogs.

Mr. Chase will be looking for a location in the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley area, to bring this service here for our Veterans. It is the policy of all foundations that Gerald Chase is Chief Executive Officer and that any and all services supplied to veterans are free.

In the coming months, you can look forward to more articles concerning service dogs. For more information, visit https:// www.nextstepser vicedogs.org.

ovember 13, 2015 is a night many won’t ever forget.

For most it was just another day spent with our families, but for hundreds of people in Paris: their lives changed forever. At approximately 9:40pm three armed IsIs terrorists walked into the Bataclan nightclub in Paris.

These men were on a mission to kill. During the Eagles of Death Metal set they opened fire on the audience.

In this attack over 90 people were murdered and many more were injured.

The Western Center Academy welcomed Ferry Zandvliet, a survivor of the attack that night at the Bataclan theater. Zandvliet was there with three of his friends. They traveled from Sweden to Paris just to watch this band perform. Mr.Zandvliet shared his experiences with Mrs. DeLuna’s class.

He started out by setting the scene and trying to help the students understand the setting/vibe in the building that night. Ferry has a really unique way of relating with the students and grabbing

their attention.

“All I heard was long banging noises, and I saw people hitting the floor all around me, so that’s what I did. Before I knew it, I was on that floor. Seconds before I was with my friends having a drink, having a dance, and then I was in a War Zone,” Zandvliet said in reference to hearing shots fired. “At that moment I was 100% sure I was going to die.” He really had the kids’ attention.

Ferry Zandvliet says he owes his life to the security guards in the building that night: they opened the emergency exits and called everyone to crawl out of them. “I just knew what to do, stay low and crawl out.”

Zandvliet has a powerful story about this horrific event, and how it’s actually given him a better/happier life than he ever dreamed of having before. Now he sees the world through different eyes and chooses not to worry about little things. His new life motto is “Never Be Angry Again.” and every day he tries to stand by that.

The event didn’t come without a struggle though; Ferry Zandvliet dealt with a serious case of PTSD, but now considers himself basically healed. “You have to talk about it, find someone...

Anyone to talk to and surround yourself with uplifting people, not people that

EVIDENCE from B1

Asked about a text message released earlier in the probe in which Taylor called it “crazy” to withhold the security aid to a foreign ally, he said, “It was illogical. It could not be explained. It was crazy.”

Kent, in his opening remarks, directly contradicted a core complaint against Joe Biden being raised by allies of the White House, saying he never heard any U.S. official try to shield a Ukraine company from investigations.

Kent acknowledged that he himself raised concerns in 2015 about the vice pres-

ident’s son, Hunter Biden, being on the board of Burisma, a Ukraine gas company. He warned that it could give the “perception of a conflict of interest.” But Kent indicated no one from the U.S. was protecting the company from investigations in Ukraine as Republicans have implied.

He did not go into detail about the Trump quid pro quo issues central to the impeachment inquiry, but he voiced his concerns with them.

“I do not believe the United States should ask other countries to engage in selective, politically associated investigations or prosecutions against oppo-

FERRY ZANDVLIET: A Survivor, Overcomer, and a Positive Force. | Photo by Daphne Youree are a drag to be around... but people who make you feel like a better person.” We will call that Ferry’s PTSD Remedy. He gave the class the floor and allowed them to ask him questions, “any question you want. Nothing is off limits.” He encouraged the students to be as real as possible with him.

One student asked, “how long did it take you to get better?” Zandvliet responded, “you can always get better, everyday. But a good year, until I was very comfortable.”

Another asked, “How did it feel to see people die right in front of you?” It took him a couple seconds to answer this one. “It doesn’t hit you at that moment. There are so many other things going on, but it did hit me after some time and it’s really hard to explain.”

The final question posed to Ferry was, “You have seen other terrorist attacks in your life like: 911, Columbine, and many others that happen before this event. How did you feel when you saw those on TV? And how would your life be different today if you only watched the terrorist attack at the Bataclan on TV?” Ferry Zandvliet had a great response to this question, “I just watched those events and thought,” Man, that’s nents of those in power, because such selective actions undermine the rule of law regardless of the country,” he said.

The Constitution sets a dramatic but vague bar for impeachment, and there’s no consensus yet that Trump’s actions at the heart of the inquiry meet the threshold of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

At its core, the inquiry stems from Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine’s newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy when he asked the Zelenskiy for “a favor.”

Trump wanted the Ukraine government to investigate Democrats in

crazy, but never did it occur to me that it would happen to me. To answer your second question. It’s impossible to tell, because it’s “make believe.” I do think I am better now though, I like who I am now more than who I was then.”

In regards to what Ferry Zandvliet hopes that kids took away from his speech, “I hope that the kids learn not to victimize themselves.

We all have setbacks in life, don’t ever let them define you. They don’t have to survive a terrorist attack to learn this lesson.”

Some of the kids shared their thoughts about Ferry Zandvliet on social media: C. LOOMIS- “ Your presentation was great, thanks for sharing it with us.”

H. HOLT- “You left a very inspiring story for us to learn to be grateful and be positive.”

On the left...a heartfelt message from Mr. Dick Gale From the Democrats of Hemet - San Jacinto I realize that while you are reading this, Veteran’s Day has passed, but I am writing this on Veteran’s Day, so I’m sharing my thoughts.

Now in my 70s, I have had the privilege to know several WWII, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. They all have something in common: courage and love for our country. Yesterday I witnessed someone anonymously pay for the dinner of a Korean veteran at a Hemet restaurant (He was wearing a Korean veteran hat). Some local restaurants are offering a free meal to veterans today.

Our local park is decorated with hundreds of American flags. A special ceremony is being held at the Riverside National Cemetery. We all owe a debt of gratitude to those who have served, especially those who served in a combat zone. There are many ways for you to show your appreciation for the sacrifices our veterans have made. I believe that you should vote for the candidate that best serves our Veterans, and I’m proud of our current Congressman Ruiz.

I recently attended a ceremony at the Riverside National Cemetery to honor an elderly veteran who died with no known family or close relatives. Our local American Legion, Post 53, sent their motorcycle group to escort the body to the cemetery and many members attended the service. If you are a veteran you should consider joining our local American Legion post and support those members who were physically or mentally impacted by their service. Last Memorial Day I attended the annual ceremony at the cemetery and photographed an elderly couple strolling among the hundreds of flags which had been placed at each grave. I don’t know if he or she was a veteran or if they were visiting the grave of their child buried there. Perhaps they were visiting the plot provided to them as veterans.

I encourage each of you to find your own way to recognize our heroes. Both you and the veterans will be the better for your recognition.

Dick Gale President of the Democrats of Hemet – San Jacinto

Hard Questions that beg answers Dear Editor and Readers, I would like to cite some information from local and national news concerning California over the past few days...and indeed the past few years.

California was ranked dead last in Chief Executive magazine’s 2016 “best and worst small states for business” survey.

California has among the highest sales-tax rates in the US. California has one of the highest corporate income tax rates in the country, and has the second highest gas tax in the country while it also has among the most expensive traffic tickets in the nation.

California has disastrously high unemployment.

California has among the lowest credit/bond ratings in the entire country. People are being taxed so badly they can’t even afford to live in houses which have been in the family for decades.

In one of the local newspaper, we read that Riverside County has one of the worst commutes in the country.

Where is all the tax money going?

I ask, “In Sacramento what are they doing to help the local communities and where is all this tax money going?

I just read where, to buy a new home here, your income must be a staggering $120,000-plus to qualify.

How long are the people of California supposed to put up with this kind of taxation and the ignorance of Sacramento politicians, and those local politicians who serve them?

We need local, county and state politicians who represent the best interests of their constituents, and not the best interests of those who live in, and govern from, Sacramento. For the last 48 years, Sacramento politicians, and those local politicians who have served them have used tiny communities as there own piggy bank. They have squandered the money funneled from local communities. Small cities like Hemet have been systematically raped of local revenue by Sacramento and it’s local pols: they’ve then used these dollars to their own advantage instead of giving that money back to us, at the local level.

This must stop, and to do that, we must demand more of our local politicians, and we must change the power structure if we are ever to change the course of our local communities.

Robin Lowe Former Mayor of Hemet, and a conservative voice in our valley

QUESTION TO THE COMMUNITY This week’s “Question to the Community” is a simple question with profound implications: Do you think our city streets are clean? If not, who do you think is responsible, and what should be done?

PORTER’S CORNER

Honoring and Commemorating the Fallen Soldier CALVIN PORTER | COLUMNIST

E

very year in the United States, we commemorate and honor the fallen soldier who since the Civil War gave up his life fighting against tyranny, and oppression. While preserving the time honored ceremonies of the occasion, the name has been changed from Decoration Day, to the present Veterans Day during which all veterans are thanked for their services to the United States – many homes are decorated with the American flag, typically two minutes of silence starting at 11 a.m. is observed, banks, government offices and schools are closed and some businesses jump at the opportunity to offer special sales. Memorial Day, celebrated in the month of May, is a solemn day of remembrance for everyone who has died serving in the American armed forces.

Amid formal ceremonies, on varying dates of the year, countries ranging from the United Kingdom, to Nigeria remember with justified pomp and circumstance the millions of men and women

who have died in the service of their respective countries fighting against despotism and injustice.

In the United Kingdom, members of the media and the public usually wear a poppy on their lapels at least a month before Remembrance Day. During the month before November 11, 40 million poppies are distributed by the Royal British Legion for the public to wear to honor their veterans. Throughout the UK a two-minute silence at 11 in the morning is observed.

Armistice Day in France is a day of reflection, commemorating with parades in various parts of the country that end at their local war memorials. Most people wear dark or black clothing during the day. Representatives from the armed forces lay wreaths at the war memorial, including the Ring of Remembrance, an international war memorial in Notre Dame and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier that is located in Paris. A grand parade is held at the Arc de Triomphe and one-minute of silence is observed at the 11th hour.

Naming the day Volk-

strauertag, Germany honors their veterans on the Sunday that is closest to November 16. The ceremony begins with the German President and Chancellor speaking in front of the assembled members of the diplomatic corps and government officials, followed by the playing of the German National Anthem. Afterward, the song I had a Comrade (Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden), a traditional German song of lament of the country’s armed forces is played and in the provinces, after hearing mass, veterans stage marches towards the war memorials to pay respect to their fallen comrades.

Approximately 130,000 American Soldiers are buried in 25 cemeteries located in 10 foreign countries including France, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Panama, Italy Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands and Tunisia. These cemeteries are administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission, the largest of which being the Meuse Argonne American Cemetery in France with 14,246 World War I casualties, followed by the Lorraine

cemetery, on the outskirts of St-Avoid. The cemetery with the most war dead administered by the ABMC is Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines, with 17,201 service-members who perished in WWII. The enormous loss of American lives in the nation’s wars, totaling 1,264,000, 620,000 in the Civil War and 644,000 in other conflicts is mind boggling. If we could only “Imagine” in the words of John Lennon: Imagine there’s no heaven/ It’s easy if you try / No hell below us / above us only sky.

Imagine all the people / living for today. Imagine there’s no countries / It isn’t hard to do / nothing to kill or die for / and no religion too. Imagine all the people / living life in peace. You may say, I’m a dreamer / but I’m not the only one / I hope someday you’ll join us / and the world will be as one. Imagine no possessions / I wonder if you can / No need for greed or hunger / a brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people / sharing all the world. You may say / I’m a dreamer / But I’m not the only one / I hope someday you’ll join us / and the world will be as one.

leading economic indicators and the Fed’s confidence they needed to lower rates as a stimulus measure. Let’s face it, that what it is, stimulus.

Currently, there is a surge in confidence and optimism in the market. This is measured by Sentiment Trader’s “Smart Money and Dumb Money Confidence.” Smart Money is made up of insiders from institutional and professional investors, where Dumb Money small odd lot investors and traders. This tracks the behavioral measures. As you can see in the chart, “Dumb Money” confidence has surged where as the “Smart Money” identifies extreme optimism and sniffs a subsequent market

pullback. The “Smart Money” and the “Dumb Money” have diverged again.

Whenever you see this overly optimistic feeling with small investors and blatantly negative feelings by money managers it is another sign to be patient and cautious.

Divergence of Confidence

ANDREW F. KOTYUK | COLUMNIST

E

arlier this year for many months the market saw interest rate inflect when the shorter-term treasuries paid a higher rate of interest than the 10-year treasury. This has been a leading indicator of a recession. Since then it has been widely debated on if the U.S. economy is headed into a recession or not.

A response from the Federal Reserve was warranted with three interest rate reductions. Federal Chairman Powell stated that this was mid-cycle adjustment needed to support momentum in the market. Leading Economic Indicators (LEI’s) show the U.S. economy has slowed since the beginning of the year. What hasn’t slowed is the labor market which continues to tighten.

It should be noted though that the unit labor cost has peaked recently signaling higher labor costs, lower productivity and declining

profit margins. A positive thought was a higher than expected GDP report last month. Expectations were at 1.5% and it actually beat coming in at 1.9%.

Wait and see is where most money managers and economists are at. Even Chairman Powell expressed there would be no more rate increases in a hawkish statement. Is this enough to avoid a recession, increase inflation and continue the bull run. The GDP reports seems to indicate but the labor market seems to be signaling a slowdown. Many eyes are waiting for new economic reports to show an improvement or a further erosion.

New records are being made as major indices have made new highs. November and December are typically some of the best months in the year for the market. With a Phase I trade agreement on the table it seems the market will be full of profits this year. I am still very cautious.

I don’t like the inflection earlier this year, the decreasing

HISTORIC HEMET THEATRE

Blues Brothers Tribute Events

takes center stage at Historic Hemet Theatre FOR THIS WEEKEND! SUSAN CARRIER| CONTRIBUTED

I

n 1978, comedians Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi created a blues band as part of a comedy sketch for Saturday Night Live. The combination of soulful music and wacky banter was a big success, leading to the creation of a nightclub act and a comedy film that has become a cult classic.

On Saturday November 23rd, the music of The Blues Brothers will take center stage at the Historic Hemet Theatre with the arrival of Fairchild Blues Tribute.

Performing as Jake and Elwood Blues, this tribute has dazzled audi-

ences worldwide with their uncanny resemblance to Belushi and Aykroyd. Along with their slick dance moves and witty banter back and forth with the audience, this show is a nonstop ball of energy from start to finish.

Top Blues Brothers hits include, "Soul Man," "Sweet Home Chicago," "Hey Bartender," "Shake a Tail Feather," "Flip, Flop, F l y, " "Jail-

house Rock," and "Gimme Some Lovin'."

If you still have not visited Hemet's very own music hot spot, this will be great show for your initiation. The party is ready and waiting for you...

Meanwhile, the Tribute to Reba McEntire on Friday November 8th was an event to be remembered.

Corrie Sachs performed a flawless show, looking and sounding so much like Reba it was shocking when she revealed her real voice at the end of the night.

The dance floor got a workout from all the two-steppin' and line dancing going on, and more

than a few voices went home hoarse from cheering all night. Straight from Vegas, it was another great show at Hemet's downtown concert venue.

Only 3 concerts remain on this year's schedule: Tribute to (12/7), Keith Urban (12/13) and a special holiday show by Stone Soul (12/21) performing a "Stone Soul Christmas" with some of rock and roll's favorite holiday classics.

Next year's first season has been announced, including tributes to Elton John by Kenny Metcalf (January 4), T h e C arpenters

Making your vehicle pet-friendly KYLE HEADLEE | STAFF WRITER

reetings From The Hemet Car Guy,

As this year’s Chairman of the Chamber, I attend a lot ribbon-cuttings. My wife Bambi loves our dogs and grand dogs. Yes, they are like family to all of us.

The Wednesday before Halloween, the “Small Animal Care Center" in San Jacinto had their grand-opening ribbon-cutting. We were happy to attend, not only for the new business in our valley, but for additional care options for our dogs... especially for the new puppy she just saved.

Besides cleaning up after them, these are things that I’ve learned to live with: When were sitting on the couch, it’s perfectly acceptable for the dog, even one that weighs upwards of 100lbs, to jump up and carve out a nest for himself between the two of you.

I've seen literally thousands of pictures of her dog via Facebook, and lots of texts that say “OMG look what Drew just did!”

THE CAR GUY:Vehicles

for Dogs| Photo courtesy of Richard Perry When she is talking to the dog, I'm referred to as “daddy.”

Nothing is cuter than catching the two of them taking a nap together.

I can’t get mad at the pup for tearing up his bed, he’s just a pup According to her, The Car Guy needs to write about "Vehicles for Dogs."

So here is the "dog car" article: When it comes to cars for dog owners, there's no question that some vehicles are simply better than others. Whether you're setting out on a long road trip

or running out for a quick in-town errand, you want to be able to transport your furry friend as safely, conveniently and comfortably as possible.

When shopping for a new set of wheels, you may have many considerations, but carting your canine properly should be one of them. There are a number of desired features that can help make your vehicle choice a more pet-friendly one: A rear lift gate allows your dog to jump in and out of the car easily; it also makes for more convenient loading in/loading out of pet carriers, crates and kennels.

Fold-flat seats create a spacious area for your dog to sit while keeping the actual surface of the seats clean from hair or scratches.

An airy cabin is especially beneficial for large dogs to stretch out.

Rear cargo-attachment ringlets help keep carriers and crates from sliding around.

A containment barrier/ divider keeps your dog

from jumping up to the front seat while the car is in motion.

A low ride height helps dogs -- especially older ones -- get in and out with ease.

Rear climate control keeps your dog cool and comfortable in transit no matter what the weather is like.

A sunroof brings fresh air and sunlight so you can keep your dog from hanging its head out of the window.

Underfloor storage gets your things out of the way so your dog can ride more comfortably.

These features will enhance comfort and convenience. Since driving around with your dog has its risks, safe transport should be at the top of your mind.

Some states require owners to crate or tether animals while in motion; other states, such as Connecticut, have general distracted-driving laws that can be applied to animal-related incidents.

New Jersey categorizes an improperly restrained pet

VEHICLES FOR DOGS:My wife with our family dog| Photo of the Hemet Car Guy.

as a disorderly-conduct offense. Penalties for violations vary by state, but ultimately, common sense should prevail.

In other words, it may be fun for your dog to ride on your lap on the highway, but it's clearly not the best idea.

Oh yes we are getting him shots and getting him neutered.

5 Tips homeowners need this winter to prevent unnecessary costs STATEPOINT | CONTRIBUTED

A

drop in temperature and an increase in precipitation like rain, sleet or snow can make winter costly at home.

Between turning up your heat and spending money on ice melt, the last cost any homeowner wants to account for is burst pipes and the damage they can cause. It doesn’t take much of a crack to cause thousands in repairs. A oneeighth inch crack in a pipe can spew over 250 gallons of water daily, according to the Institute for Business and Home Safety, destroying furniture, floors and

personal items.

To help homeowners save this winter, Mike Pfeiffer, senior vice president of Technical Services at the International Code Council, offers the following tips: OWN YOUR THERMOSTAT Many households battle over what temperature to maintain. While the debate can get “heated,” Pfeiffer suggests keeping the thermostat setting constant.

When it’s very cold and you keep changing the thermostat, it will be harder for your heating device to bring your home back up to your desired temperature. Programmable

thermostats are a great way to maintain a comfortable temperature and save energy. Not only can you set them while you’re away, but smart thermostats will begin to learn your habits and gradually adapt to your desired settings.

LET THOSE FAUCETS DRIP When a cold snap pushes into the area, it’s a good idea to let water drip from the faucet. “Make sure it’s cold water when you do this,” Pfeiffer says. “Running cold water through the pipes, even a trickle at a time, helps prevent freezing.” This is especially true on exterior walls where there may be limited insu-

lation. “Don’t forget about seldom used areas such as guest bathrooms or laundry sinks and equipment.”

INSULATE During winter you want to stay warm -- well, so do your pipes. Add insulation to attics, basements and crawl spaces. Seal up cracks and openings along the perimeter of your home where cold air can blow through and cause pipes to freeze. Insulation will maintain warmer temperatures in these areas and help lower heating costs. Be sure to check for exposed water lines in unheated areas and consider installing specific products made to insulate wa-

ter pipes, like an insulated pipe sleeve, heat tape or similar materials.

OPEN DOORS When cold weather is in the forecast, opening cabinet doors in the kitchen and bathroom can help. This allows heat to seep into cabinets and circulate warmer air around plumbing.

CHECK HOSES AND SPRINKLERS Before cold air arrives, its best practice to drain any water from sprinklers’ supply lines following your manufacturer’s or installer’s directions. Don’t forget to remove, drain and store hoses used outdoors.

“Despite what you may

have heard, don’t use antifreeze in any of these lines unless directed by a professional,” says Pfeiffer. “Antifreeze is environmentally harmful and dangerous to humans, pets, wildlife and landscaping. Not to mention that you cannot use antifreeze in any line connected to a potable supply.”

Frost-free hose bibs are the best solution to prevent frozen pipes.

On top of these tips, it’s always important to make sure any home renovations use the most recent building and plumbing codes, which will help keep your family safe and also help you save money down the line on unnecessary repairs and maintenance.

The Art of Guitar in Mexico

Two guitar giants flood DVAC with beautiful arpeggios

JAYME CASTRO | CONTRIBUTED

iamond Valley Arts Council (DVAC), Saturday, hosted, “The Art of Guitar in Mexico,” featuring Guitarists Pamela Arellano and Jesus Serrano. The free concert was part of DVAC’s, “Culture Series,” and yet another example of fulfilling their motto, “Advancing the Arts–Creating Community.”

DVAC has been forming harmonious relationships with local and non-local artists, musicians and performers for more than a decade. DVAC president, Jason Strain said, “We’ve been around for over 14 years . . . we’re heavily involved in the community, and the most rewarding part of being involved with this program is in bettering the community through promoting the arts.” Through fulfilling their mission statement,

PAMELA ARELLANO | Courtesy Photo

the council continues to introduce the community to a world of culture and to enrich people’s lives.

Note for note, Saturday’s concert series was no exception to the rule.

The two virtuosos of guitar serenaded and mystified the audience with a repertoire of musical magic tricks, techniques, and seemingly effortless talent rooted in Mexican culture. The concert was made possible by DVAC and by the efforts of David

Pelham, who’s passion for crafting guitars, and the beautiful classical music of Mexico–led him to Paracho, Michoacan, Mexico and its annual Festival de Guitarra. DVAC Secretary, Anna Ancheta says, “These guitarists are brought from Mexico through the generosity of Mr. Pelham . . . David has been going to the international guitar festival in Paracho, Mexico for 17 years.”

Arellano, of Zacatecas, Mexico, played a diverse

set, originating from places like Brazil, Spain, and Argentina. Arellano is a serious student of classical music; she has been a part of the guitar quartet, Tierra Mestiza, and participated in the International Congress of Chamber Music. Her technique and style deployed intricate finger-picking, sweeping arpeggios, tempo changes and crescendos-executed with the sophistication and discipline that classical music demands.

Each song had its own transportive qualities that took listeners on a journey. As one local patron said, “The music is creating the atmosphere . . .and the way the venue here is set up-it adds to that effect.” Arellano’s on-stage elegance paired perfectly well with her style, ending each number with a bow and expressing her gratitude.

CULTURE - OPINION COLUMN

Who sez Gaming isn’t Educational?

RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR WRITER

T

hat old canard that you can’t teach old dogs a new trick is outdated if seeing is believing. I recently had occasion to spend some time in the classroom of Chris Runcie at West Valley High School that opened my eyes to something I wouldn’t have otherwise been inclined to believe. X-boxes and video games are stirring up a learning storm in Mr. Runcie’s class room.

What exactly is going on in his classroom that churns up so much interest from students and teachers alike? He explains: “I teach two different classes: economics for seniors and AP Human Geography for mostly freshmen, but it is open to anybody who wants in. It’s a world culture class. Our clubs consist of mainly the same students but we brand it as two separate clubs. The first club is “Gamers Club,” which is more about gaming culture and I even throw in gaming history as well,” I observed his students actively participating in classroom activities with energy ad interest that you won’t find in some couch potato at home working an X-box with a coke ad potato chips at his side.

“Recently,” Runcie adds, “we had a lesson of Atari verses Intelevision and the kids were playing Atari and playing Intelevision; playing adventure, pitfall, asteroids and space invaders, getting a taste of how gaming began. The next lesson is going to be on Nintendo.”

For someone who was schooled on the three R’s, it all seemed like Sanscrit, however I was lured deeper into the nuts and bolts of what was going on.

“They will learn now how these games first entered the market and then we go from there. We also offer more practical approaches. For instance we do cooking days, arts and crafts days plus involvement in other school events.”

Wait, there’s more. They are planning a boat race. How is that possible? The teacher explains: “We will make a cardboard boat out of duct tape and

race against other clubs in our big pool.”“ This is a very involved classroom. When a teacher creates an interest among his students, and they are encouraged to become involved community events, one perks up his ears. Kids who make all kinds of excuses to miss classes are now rushing about to be sure and get to school on time.

“Oh yes,” Mr. Runcie explains, “we are involved in the community. Every year we do a toy drive. Our Club members collect toys from various sources. Both students and teachers volunteer and the gamers volunteer, donating the toys (new and unwrapped) and bring them to other schools for distribution. One spot of distribution is the Jacob Weims Elementary School which is one of our most economically disadvantaged schools, where they have a special day to pass out toys, making sure that kids have a happy Christmas.

“Then we have the E-sports Club which really took off last year and it is growing every month. This is our club that deals directly with video games, competing against other schools in the area. Like the game Smash Brothers - we’ve gone up against Tahquitz, Hemet High, Perris High and Hamilton High, This year we added PC Computer gaming to our list of games we play with other schools, joining up with a league in Orange County to compete against a different school every Wednesday. The current season ends at the end of this month.”

It is all unfamiliar territory to this reporter. What other schools have a club like this?

“To the best of my knowledge we are the only school in Riverside County doing PC Gaming and, for Smash Brothers, we are the largest. There are some other schools that are involved with Smash Brothers against us, and most of the schools we have been competing against us for the past couple of years. Orange County Schools, they don’t have any set seasons for fight games like Smash Brothers or Street Fighters, However, Riverside has decided to host a season for Smash Brothers and that one will start off in-district to determine the top two schools: the win-

n e r goes on to area finals against Murrieta, Temecula, Corona and then on to Regionals.”

I began to see that the E-sports is really a new approach to education.

“Over the summer we had a trial tournament or t/pilot tournament for Riverside. Hemet Unified showed up along with Temecula Unified, Yurupa Valley, and Perris. Hemet Unified had more than half the competitors. Temecula brought 5, Yurupa Valley and Perris had 9 and we brought 26.”

I didn’t forget that Mr. Runcie also teaches history.

“Yes, and I teach more than current stuff. World culture class speaks to world culture now, and I try to show how we got where are today. In my classroom I discuss the Industrial Revolution and Imperialism because both had a major effect in shaping the modern world.’

All well and good, but how has District received this new approach?

“For about three years I’ve been teaching E-sports. For the first couple of years it was tough. All I got from the nay-sayers was ’No,’ ‘We’ll see,’ ‘Maybe later,’ and that sort of thing, but we’ve had longer success with Smash Brothers on the Nintendo Consoles because those don’t require going on line. The PC Gaming has taken us 3 years to get our computers on line with video games because they have been blocked. Our computers were sitting on the shelf collecting dust for a full year before I could finally use them in play because the District wasn’t sure how to allow students to build computers, or to communicate on-line. That opened up a can of worms as to how to monitor the students play to make sure it conforms to rules. As any parent or teacher knows, teenagers are very inventive and if you

offer to join his team was a chance for greatness. That’s if they could construct a superior car, get along with each other, convince Ford II to trust them, and most importantly, actually compete against Ferrari at Le Mans.

The film does a deep dive into the characters. Christian Bale devours the screen with his cockney accent and brash behavior, but the contributions of actors like Tracy Letts and Caitriona Balfe have to be acknowledged.

The supporting

roles are key to the story’s success. Lett’s is hilarious as Henry Ford II. He was the big d*ck in a room full of ego driven men. A standout scene with Matt Damon on the racetrack may earn Lett’s an Oscar nomination. This is a guy who’s already won a Pulitzer and Tony award.

Balfe superbly portrays Mollie Miles. As hard-nosed as her husband, she was the rock in his life. Her scenes with Christian Bale help anchor Ford v Ferrari. James Mangold (Walk the Line, Logan) spends a lot of time depicting their family life.

This is a developed emotional attachment that makes the third act quite impactful.

The racing scenes in Ford V

Ferarri are a breath of fresh exhaust. It’s gratifying to see artistry in a car film after years of being inundated with CGI Fast & Furious garbage. There’s obviously CGI effects in Ford v Ferrari, but it’s done with a nod to realism. The camera work and editing in the various races are masterfully done. My minor complaint, surprisingly, is that there could have been more racing scenes. There are big gaps between the races. At two hours and thirty-two minutes, Mangold could have spread the action more evenly to level the pacing.

Ford v Ferrari will be a full throttle awards contender and deservingly so.

It’s a great flick that honors the titans of racing.

I’ll liken the film to the 2020 Ford Shelby GT500, a brilliant composition of form, power, nerve, and pure adrenaline. Ford v Ferrari is one of the year’s best films. You don’t have to be a gearhead to enjoy this one. Ford v Ferrari is a production of Chernin Entertainment and TSG Entertainment with distribution by 20th Century Fox. About the author: Film critic, raconteur, praying for dolphins to grow thumbs and do better.

tell them not to do something, they will find a way to circumvent the rules.”

Being somewhat overwhelmed that the students made their own computers, I was curious. I have friends and peers who wouldn’t know an e-mail from parcel post.

“Some of my graduate students have come back and helped build the computers. They are helping to train current students. I can tell you, I received a lot of heavy negativity from officials but then it a l l

turned around when the District hired a new Director of Technology, Technology used to be part of the Business Services. It is now part of Educational services thanks to our new Tech Director, Ben Markley. He’s a big advocate for our E-sports program. He didn’t just get it approved in the district, he got it approved for the entire County of Riverside. Thanks to him I’ve gone to a technology camp in Menifee where over a thousand teachers were in at-

tendance and we went to different seminars about technology. We were given the opportunity to do a seminar on E-sports that drew a crowd of 80 interested teachers.”

How does Runcie handle the hold-outs who say, “We want to get our kids off the couches and studying”?

“I tell them that we don’t play on couches,. We play in chairs in a classroom.

Not every kid is an athlete.

Many who were critical of my methods now compliment m e for

the way I’ve got their kids interested in the class room.

“It would surprise you how many kids there are who feel slighted because they are not into field sports. Our program gives the a sense of belonging and of being somebody.

The stereotype of couch gamers who don’t have relationships or friendships or are anti-social doesn’t exist in E--sports. It is said some of these teenagers have anger issues. Anger issues are not limited to students. I know teachers with serious anger issues. I have a boy In my E-sport class who let out an F bomb one day. I explained to him if he did it again he would 86’d out of the club for a week.

I haven’;t seen any anger in him since. That’s what the club ad having a social life means to him. However, we do have special needs students with anger issues that have maintained behavior in the club sessions because they don’t want to lose what it gives them and what it means to them socially.

“I’ve had students who

BRAIN CHALLENGES

couldn’t compete because of low grades and their grades went up immediately because they found something that made them feel like somebody. My students are learning how to control their emotions and become functioning members of society.”

We checked and found that E-sports has become a billion dollar industry and is being taught in colleges ad universities around the country. Runcie has an opinion as to how it has spread so rapidly.

“I believe it has its roots in e-mail. E seems to have an extension from something else with meaning: is it or isn’t it a sport? Define sport. I need students to be announcers or to broadcast on line. Everything leads to something else until you think you have the whole and then something leaps forward - they call it progress. I need students to play events, to manage equipment, to fix our equipment if it breaks down. I have students who understand the use of tools and system repairs, students who

debug computers. They are learning how to operate programs. Programs don’t run themselves. It is not kids just playing video games. It keeps them interested in the classroom.

“One of my former students just got hired at Pechanga Casino and was previously hired right out of high school by River Springs Charter Schools. I remember when he was in my class on the phone: he said he was playing a game.

I reminded him that our game is not a phone. He said yes, he knew, but I’m playing it on my Computer, He was using his cell phone to connect to his computer at home. I’m like, how do I do that? So none of us knows it all.”

If you need an explanation to understand all of this, try asking that teenager in your home: they will make you dizzy trying to get through your thick skull that it is all about communicating, socializing and prepping for the future. Just sayin’ rustystrait@gmail.com

ba Reservation. During the first class, attendees took a short trip from the Old Tribal Hall to a surrounding area to gather willow reeds in order to complete the initial steps of making a seed beater. In the second class, after allowing the materials to cure/dry out for a few days, Estrada demonstrated how to construct a seed beater by weaving scrap fabric around the loop and spokes to secure all parts. Each seed beater consisted of seven willow reeds: one curved into a loop,

one for the cross and five for spokes, all connected with about three yards of fabric strips.

Soboba Tribal Council Treasurer Kelli Hurtado said she was glad she was able to find the time to attend the late afternoon class.

“I want to get back into basket weaving and other projects,” she said.

Joseph Ontiveros, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer with the Cultural Resource Department, said this project was a great example of

how tribal people continue to adapt to survive.

“Tribal people have survived by utilizing what was on hand,” he said, adding that after continuous usage, the seed beater could need to be regularly repaired with other materials on hand.

“Very often we overlook things that were necessary, like collecting traditional foods,” Ontiveros said. “This class teaches about a basic item used for that purpose.”

He said it can be difficult to find instructors for these types of classes, but said Estrada was chosen as an instructor because of his wealth of traditional tribal knowledge. Tribal material culture items refer to objects produced by tribal people for practical use.

The purpose of Soboba’s Cultural Program Series is to offer classes that will continue to highlight the importance of learning and maintaining all aspects of culture within the Native American community.

Hosting more material culture classes is one of the department’s current goals and there are quite a few planned for the coming year.

By the end of the night, Arellano and Serrano took to the stage togetherand

them away and make a new one. It wasn’t like the coil baskets that were made to be more durable.”

Seed beaters are just one of many cultural use items used in everyday life by local tribal people. Seed beaters used to remove chia, sage and other small seeds from plants were known in Cahuilla as písh yíkawva’al, and larger ones used to beat acorns and pinecones out of trees were called písh vúkiva’al. These tools were valuable to collect items needed for food. Seeds are often toasted or ground down before consumption for easier digestion and increased nutritional value. Acorns are cracked and ground before fresh water is poured through the acorn meal to wash out any bitterness of the tannins.

Tribal people incorporated knowledge and necessity into their efforts to thrive while living off the land in nearby deserts and mountains.

La vida entre las llamas en California

EMBOSCADA:Ken Wilson, propietario del viñedo Soda Rocky Winery, observa los daños causados a su negocio por un incendio forestal el 5 de Noviembre del 2019 en Healdsburg, California. Wilson dice que no piensa irse y que reconstruirá el viñedo.| Lacy Atkins/ Foto cortesía de AP

MARTHA IRVINE|AP

T

ina Chandler sale de su casa y siente un olor a la distancia. “¿No huele a humo?”, se pregunta a sí misma.

Ya no se siente ese olor, pero ella todavía está obsesionada. También la obsesionan los vientos otoñales, como los que avivaron el incendio forestal que destruyó su barrio una vez y que empiezan a soplar de nuevo amenazantes en California. “El viento y ese olor a humo...”, comenta, frunciendo el ceño.

Dos años atrás los Chandler tuvieron apenas unos pocos minutos para escapar de la casa de la familia antes de que un incendio llamado Kincade Fire la devorara ante sus ojos. Surgieron de las cenizas y empezaron a construir otra casa. Sus dos hijos compraron lotes en la misma calle y uno ya está construyendo también.

Hace pocas semanas, comenzó otra pesadilla. Se pasan los días observando el resplandor anaranjado de un incendio que ruge del otro lado de una colina, cerca de sus nuevas viviendas.

California ha sido desde siempre una tierra de oportunidades. Pero estos incendios enormes y feroces han pasado a ser la nueva norma y tienen a la gente ansiosa, a menudo empujándola a buscar otros hori-

zontes.

Quienes se quedan, deben vivir entre apagones, causados por las compañías energéticas en un esfuerzo por evitar que el tendido eléctrico desate incendios avivados por los vientos. Deben estar preparados para escapar rápidamente con documentos y otros objetos importantes. Ir a comedores comunitarios y a centros de asistencia, y tener consejeros y perros terapéuticos cuando los chicos regresan a la escuela después de una evacuación. Es vital contar con irrigadores y métodos para combatir las llamas, recortar la vegetación y crear “espacios de defensa” alrededor de las viviendas.

El sector Fountaingrove de Santa Rosa, en la región vitivinícola de California, fue uno de los barrios arrasados por el incendio del 2017 Tubbs Fire. Fue el incendio que más daño causó en la historia de California hasta el año pasado, en que el Camp Fire acabó con Paradise, una ciudad más hacia el norte, donde mató a 85 personas.

Al final de cuentas, los daños derivados del nuevo incendio que preocupaba a los Chandler no fueron tan grandes por distintas razones, desde las enseñanzas que dejaron otros incendios hasta pronósticos de vientos más precisos y un poco de suerte. Los bomberos se esforzaron denodadamente por

salvar sitios como Windsor, apenas al norte de Santa Rosa, pero no pudieron evitar que las llamas acabasen con algunas viviendas y otras estructuras, incluidos una tienda general y una oficina de correos construida en 1869 en Healdsburg que era el edificio principal del viñedo Soda Rock Winery.

Después del fuego, el propietario de Soda Rock Ken Wilson tomó las medidas de lo que quedaba de la fachada de piedras, decidido a salvarla y a reforzarla para que resista terremotos. Cerca de allí había un cartel que decía que se reanudaban las catas de vinos. “¡EMPIEZA LA RECUPERACIÓN!”.

“Esto es lo que yo llamo ser fuerte”, comentó un cliente.

Emily McCutchan, quien vive en Windsor, pasó a ver los daños sufridos por Soda Rock a su regreso de un viaje a Italia. Lloró al ver los destrozos y le dio un abrazo a Wilson.

“Esto es muy triste”, le dijo.

Esta, sin embargo, es la nueva rutina en California y todo al mundo habla de lo duro que es. McCutchan, no obstante, dice que no se volverá a ir del condado de Sonoma durante la temporada de incendios. Permanecerá con su gente. “Es tu casa, tu comunidad, tu familia”, expresó. “No sales corriendo cuando las cosas se ponen difíciles”.

Wilson dice que ha visto renacer

viñedos consumidos por el fuego.

Tienen raíces profundas. “Cuesta acabar con una planta de uvas”, manifestó.

Los Chandler --Tina, su esposo Joel y sus dos hijos, con sus esposas-- tienen lazos muy fuertes con esta zona. Son dueños de una empresa constructora y han ayudado a reconstruir su barrio y otras viviendas tras el Tubbs Fire. Uno de los hijos, Dale, y su esposa Katrina compraron un lote frente al de sus padres. A pocas casas de distancia, el otro hijo, Bobby, y su esposa Jenna están terminando la estructura de su casa, apurándose por poner el techo antes de que lleguen las lluvias. Por ahora viven en un remolque estacionado en el jardín.

Cuando llegaron a la casa de sus padres para ayudarlos a evacuar un mañana del 2017, Tina todavía estaba en camisón y no tuvo tiempo de cambiarse. Sacaron a los perros y cerraron con llave la puerta. “Regresaremos”, dijo Tina. Varados por el tráfico de evacuados, vieron desde lejos con horror cómo las llamas se devoraban la casa donde la familia había vivido más de 20 años.

“No lloramos tanto. Pero te sientes como enfermo”, dijo Bobbie Chandler, quien hoy tiene 27 años, al recordar cómo él y su esposa vomitaron por las ventanas de su camioneta al ver lo que pasaba.

Cuando llegó una nueva orden de evacuación a fines de octubre, a Bobbie se le revolvió el estómago al ver el resplandor de las llamas a la distancia.

“Apenas vi el resplandor, sonó el teléfono”, cuenta Bobbie. “Era un policía amigo que me decía que había un incendio en Geyserville”.

La mayoría de la familia y algunos vecinos decidieron quedarse esta vez, ignorando la orden de evacuación, ya que el fuego estaba lejos todavía. Hacían turnos de tres horas.

Usaban agua de las piscinas para mojar el terreno alrededor de sus casas y la estructura de madera de Bobbie y Jenna. La pareja no durmió por 48 horas, temerosa de que los cables de la electricidad encima de su remolque cediesen.

La experiencia acercó a toda esta gente y ahora se reúnen todos los miércoles por la noche para tomar unos vinos.

Llegaron familias jóvenes que pudieron adquirir viviendas fuera de su alcance antes de los incendios.

Los Chandler quieren quedarse, aunque Tina no puede conciliar el sueño por el temor a un incendio forestal.

Esta no es la California apacible que siempre quiso. “No quiero vivir con miedo”, dijo la mujer, de 54 años.

“Pero, ¿adónde me voy?”.

Enjuician en Arizona a hombre acusado de ayudar a migrantes AP|CONTRIBUTED

E

l segundo juicio a un activista de Arizona acusado de albergar a migrantes no autorizados en la frontera con México comienza el martes. Scott Warren, de 37 años, dice que sólo estaba

Warren, de Ajo, Arizona, dice

un escrutinio extraordinario contra los grupos humanitarios que operan en la frontera. Warren es uno de nueve miembros de No More Deaths que han sido procesados por su trabajo, aunque él es único que ha sido acusado de delitos graves.

El 31 de octubre, la fiscalía pidió al juez prohibirle a Warren mencionar el nombre de Trump, según documentos judiciales. La fiscalía sostiene que Trump es irrelevante en el caso y que mencionar su nombre causaría prejuicios

Jueves |Noviembre 14 - Noviembre 20| 2019 en el proceso.

La defensa de Warren sostiene que tal pedido violaría los derechos de su cliente y que las autoridades no han demostrado en qué manera se vería perjudicado el proceso si alguien menciona a Trump.

Hasta ahora el juez no ha decidido sobre ese tema.

El arresto de Warren ocurrió poco después de que la Patrulla Fronteriza comenzó a investigar el campamento de No More Deaths, según los documentos judiciales, divulgados sólo después de que organizaciones periodísticas presentaron demandas para obtener acceso a ellos.

WASHINGTON, EE. UU

Corte EEUU escucha caso de mexicano baleado en la frontera AP|CONTRIBUTED

L

a suerte de una demanda iniciada por los padres de un adolescente mexicano muerto a tiros por un agente desde el otro lado de la frontera dependerá de si pueden convencer a un juez conservador de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos que los apoye.

La corte escuchó el martes argumentos en el caso de 2010 en que el agente de la Patrulla Fronteriza Jesús Mesa Jr. disparó hacia México y mató a Sergio Adrián Hernández Guereca.

El chico desarmado de 15 años jugaba con amigos, corrían hacia la frontera y regresaban a México, cuando los vio Mesa.

Mesa fue allá en bicicleta, arrestó al amigo de Sergio y disparó hacia el otro lado de la frontera, matando a Sergio de un disparo en la cara.

Los familiares demandan al agente por la violación de los derechos civiles de su hijo.

El gobierno estadounidense no acusó a Mesa ni permitió su extradición a México.

Los conservadores tienen mayoría de 5-4 y las sentencias suelen ser aprobadas por esas cifras.

El caso pondrá a prueba la llamada acción Bivens, en que se puede demandar a empleados federales por violar dere-

chos constitucionales. Con el paso de los años, los tribunales han hecho más difícil entablar ese tipo de demandas.

El martes, abogados de Mesa y del gobierno argumentaron que escuchar el caso podría afectar las relaciones con México e inhibir a otros guardias fronterizos.

La jueza Sonia Sotomayor cuestionó ese argumento, enfatizando que “los agentes no deben estar disparando indiscriminadamente contra niños”.

“Este es un caso en que un hombre estadounidense, en territorio estadounidense, es acusado de tirar el gatillo y de violar leyes estadounidenses”, manifestó la magistrada.

Hay otros casos similares.

Sigue pendiente uno en que un adolescente en Nogales, México, fue abatido a tiros por un guardia del lado estadounidense de la frontera.

Los padres del joven entablaron una demanda por violación de derechos civiles y la Corte Suprema no se ha pronunciado sobre él.

También el martes, los jueces escucharon argumentos sobre la suerte de un programa que permite que inmigrantes que llegaron a Estados Unidos cuando niños traídos por sus padres se puedan quedar en el país.

NUEVA YORK, EE. UU

La economía desacelera, pero Trump dice que hay auge JOSH BOAK|AP

P

ese a que la economía está desacelerando, el presidente Donald Trump dijo el martes que Estados Unidos está gozando de un “auge como nunca se ha visto”.

En su discurso en el Club Económico de Nueva York, Trump dijo que “hemos cumplido nuestras promesas, y superado nuestras expectativas por un gran margen”.

El evento estuvo concurrido por gente influyente y acaudalados líderes empresariales, pero el futuro político de Trump podría depender de si los votantes en la región central y la franja sur del país creen que ha luchado por su bienestar financiero.

El presidente se enfila a las elecciones del próximo año con

una economía relativamente saludable. Sin embargo, los préstamos universitarios, los altos costos médicos y el aumento de la desigualdad han dado pie para que los precandidatos demócratas a la presidencia digan que sólo unos cuantos privilegiados se han beneficiado verdaderamente de la gestión de Trump.

“Nuestra democracia ha sido secuestrada por los ricos y los poderosos. Ellos hacen que las cosas funcionen para ellos, y dejan a los demás atrás”, dijo este mes la senadora de Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren durante una cena de recaudación de fondos del Partido Demócrata en Iowa.

Pese a su retórica autoadulatoria, Trump no ha cumplido muchas de sus grandiosas

promesas sobre la economía.

El crecimiento en el último trimestre desaceleró a 1,9% anual, lejos de las ganancias de “4%, 5% e incluso 6%” que Trump dijo que serían posibles a raíz de sus recortes de impuestos del 2017.

El presidente no ha podido impulsar la industria acerera de Estados Unidos con aranceles, mientras que el gas natural ha reemplazado al carbón como fuente de energía.

La tasa de desempleo está en 3,6%, cerca de una marca de hace cinco décadas, lo que llena de orgullo a Trump. Las ganancias laborales desafiaron los pronósticos de muchos economistas del gobierno que preveían menos contrataciones debido al envejecimiento poblacional.

El fallo es referente a una demanda presentada por la Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles (ACLU) y la Fundación Electronic Frontier a nombre de 11 viajantes cuyos smartphones y laptops fueron registrados sin que fueran sospechosos en puertos de entrada de Estados Unidos.

La abogada de ACLU, Esha Bhandari, dijo que el fallo fortalece las protecciones para los viajantes internacionales que ingresan cada año a Estados Unidos consagradas en la Cuarta

Enmienda.

La ACLU describe los registros como “expediciones de pesca” y agregó que ahora los agentes fronterizos deben demostrar sospecha individualizada de contrabando antes de poder registrar el dispositivito de una viajante.

El gobierno ha defendido enérgicamente los registros y los considera una herramienta crítica para proteger a Estados Unidos.

El número de registros de dispositivos electrónicos en los puertos de Estados Unidos ha aumentado significativamente, dijo la ACLU. El año pasado, el gobierno realizó más de 33.000 revisiones, casi el cuádruple que tres años antes.

Los documentos presentados como parte de la demanda afirman que los registros sin orden judicial se han extendido para asistir en la aplicación de leyes

fiscales, de bancarrota, ambientales y protección al consumidor, así como para reunir información y en investigaciones criminales avanzadas.

Los expedientes también indican que los agentes de la Oficina de Aduanas y Protección Fronteriza considera las peticiones de otras agencias gubernamentales para determinar si registrar o no los dispositivos electrónicos de los viajantes. Señalan que los agentes registran los dispositivos electrónicos no sólo de los individuos designados, sino también de sus asociados, amigos y parientes.

“Al poner fin a la capacidad del gobierno de realizar expediciones de pesca sin sospecha, la corte reafirma que la frontera no es un lugar sin ley y que no perdemos nuestros derechos de privacidad cuando viajamos”, dijo Bhandari en un comunicado de prensa.
