Hemet City Council Bickers The Night Away RUSTY STRAIT | CONTRIBUTED

o matter the agenda short or long - Hemet’s City Council meetings come off like an unruly college seminar. Tuesday night was no different as the night went on.

Some issues were resolved; others were not.

The council came out of closed session a little past 7 pm and reported that a conference with legal counsel - anticipated litigation had been settled by a 5-0 vote.

There was no comment regarding a conference with labor negotiators.

After the invocation and pledge of allegiance, the meeting was opened up to public comments and that set off fireworks not often heard at a council meeting.

The first person to the podium was City Treasurer Sue Savage, who had pretty much been shut out of a part of her job by the council when they brought in outside consultants. Savage went beyond her usual complaints by making personal accusations against the council and city manager, accus-

ing the council of breaking the law. “Hemet,” she asserted, “is a miserable city known for crime, etc., etc., etc. She quoted Google as the source of her claim.

Other speakers assailed Savage for her “improper accusations and attacks on council members.”

Both City Manager Chris Lopez and Mayor pro-tem Karlee Meyer were quick to respond in blunt language. Meyer referred to Google; “People need to stop lying to Google.”

One citizen spoke of a development going up in San Jacinto. He said that he and his neighbors live in Hemet, on the border of San Jacinto. “New Century Homes is building 150 homes behind my home. I’ve contacted the developer who promised to get back to me but never has. How long must we wait? They are ready to break ground. Will our access road be eliminated? The developer claims there has been no opposition. He simply ignores me and others in Hemet.”

The City Manager said they would contact San Jacinto to see if the matter could be resolved sat-

oli Indian School students in Jay Dagostino’s science classes are getting hands-on lessons in biology, ecology and environmental science. Utilizing an area of the Soboba Reservation adjacent to the school campus, students are learning about habitat restoration of native plants.

Teaching at the school for the past 10 years, Dagostino noticed native plants were declining and non-native weeds were taking over in a wildlife site behind the school that he and Noli Cultural Teacher Tashina Ornelas use for their classes. Due to erosion caused by flooding and other issues, soil had been imported from outside the reservation, which is what most likely led to the invasion.

“That’s when I decided to start the project with other stakeholders and my students,” he said.

Along with Ornelas, the collaboration also includes Noli science and oceanography teacher Sabrina Sobel and Soboba’s Cultural Resource and Tribal Environmental departments.

In addition to the project aligning perfectly with the Biology curriculum in the areas of ecology and habitat restoration, students get participation points for the field work they do. They also use the data they collect to complete the scientific process through their use of the scientific method.

“I won't have to give them a fake example of this kind of work for them to analyze because they did it themselves,” Dagostino said.

“Most students are not exposed to this kind of work until college.”

He said most students want to learn the names of the plants, why each native plant is important and why the weeds are harmful.

They also learn about soil content during the process.

“It will take time (several years) to recover, but the students should

see positive results right away and be able to watch it getting better every year,” Dagostino said.

For the project, Ornelas said they discussed what native plants would provide the best opportunity for growth, what plants would be most traditional to the space and that would allow them to create cultural resources that could be used throughout Noli’s cultural and school programs.

“The project is very much about the future,” she said. “Students can experience firsthand why native plant restoration is so vital to the continuance of culture, tradition and environmental longevity.”

Dagostino and Ornelas combine their classes whenever possible so students have both scientific as well as cultural context to enhance the curriculum of both departments.

“It’s important to provide projects such as this because it highlights the significant changes that are made both environmentally as well as man-made,” Ornelas said.

“Focusing projects like this on a high school level allows students to be active participants in understanding the relationship between the land and the people.”

San Jacinto Junior Waterfowl Hunt: handing down traditions PAUL PRADO | CONTRIBUTED

O

n Feb. 5, the San Jacinto Wildlife Area in Lakeview held their 28th Annual Junior Waterfowl Hunt for children ages 9 to 17.

Ninety-five young duck hunters showed up at the wildlife area as early as 4:30 in the morning, before the hunt started at 6 a.m.

Tom Trakes, a supervisor at the wildlife area, was happy with the turnout.

“We love having the kids come out,” said Trakes.

“Many families have shared the tradition of duck hunting for generations. Today isn’t any different. There are daughters, sons, nephews, uncles, dads, grandpas and friends spread out across the wildlife area sharing duck blinds. The young people will keep this American pastime alive for generations to come.”

16-year-old Waylon Rockwell of Cherry Valley came to the hunt with his father Randy.

“It was a good hunt today,” said Waylon, a junior at Beaumont High School.

“There a lot of birds flying and working the ponds. We didn’t anticipate this much action, but it was good. It was like opening day.”

Waylon’s father Randy has enjoyed hunting at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area.

“Tom (Trakes) runs the

place nicely,” Randy said.

“Marsh D is my favorite blind to hunt.”

Randy complimented the staff for providing information about the hunting blinds and the success of past hunts.

“They really provide helpful information,” he said.

Waylon has hunted during the Junior Waterfowl Hunt for the last five years.

He bagged his limit of seven ducks.

The Vazquez family of Beaumont has also made the annual trek to San Jacinto to strengthen familial bonds while hunting.

17-year-old Justin Vazquez enjoyed his last hunt with his father Jose and his younger brother Elias.

Justin will be heading off to college after he gradu-

ates from Beaumont High School.

“I’ve hunted at SJWA for the last 8 years,” Justin said.

“I’ve loved every minute of it.

“I came and hunted with a hurt foot today. I had wanted to get one more hunt in with my brother.”

12-year-old Elias seemed to like his day hunting even though it wore him out.

“It was fun like always,” Elias said. “I had fun until I shot too many times and my shoulder started hurting.”

Elias has hunted since he was 9-years-old. He explained how his mother prepared the duck when they get home.

“My mom gets the duck meat and puts in on skewers to cook,” he said. “Sometimes she puts the meat to stuff mushrooms. It’s good.”

Hunting aside, Justin has learned many things as a young duck hunter over

the years.

“Duck hunting has taught me a lot about the world we live in,” Justin said. “What we do in the field affects the environment. Duck hunting helps to control the duck population. “The population stays just right, not too small and not too big. Duck hunting also promotes family values. Hunting with family and friends gives you a new perspective about relationships, respect and camaraderie. I’m going to miss being out here with my dad and brother. I know he’ll carry on just fine.”

The young hunters were treated to a huge barbecue and lots of hunting prizes.

Over the last several weeks, Tom Trakes and his staff managed to procure duck calls, shot guns, decoys, backpacks, stools, wagons, hunting bags, taxidermy certificates and other hunting gear.

A bona fide hunting dog was also given as a grand prize.

Some of the donors for the event were Bass Pro, Quail Forever, Ducks Unlimited, Ludas Prato (hunting dogs), Deez Boyz BBQ and Instaprivy.

Three More EHV Cases Confirmed at Riverside County Event Venue One horse has been euthanized due to the severity of its signs DIANE E. RICE | CONTRIBUTED

O

n Feb. 18, California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) officials confirmed another horse positive for equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV1) at the Riverside County event venue where an outbreak began Feb. 10.

The horse was stabled outside the index quarantine barn and displayed fever but no neurologic signs. It was isolated with other positive horses, and other exposed horses were quarantined and isolated in a separate area of the premises. Two positive horses that previously exhibited fever only have shown neurologic signs.

The next day, two more horses on the premises but housed outside the index quarantine barn displayed fever but no neurologic signs and were confirmed positive for EHV-1. They were isolated, and all potentially exposed horses remain quarantined and isolated on the index premises. One of the previously EHV-1 positive horses was euthanized due to the severity of its signs.

To date, five EHV-1 cases with fever only and three confirmed equine herpesvirus myeloencephalitis (EHM, the neurologic form) cases (EHV-1 with neurologic signs) have been confirmed. CDFA continues to

What did Jesus say about the rich man and Lazarus?

Not For Sale

I

M

the 2000 movie Bedazzled, where a man sells his soul to the devil in exchange for seven wishes in an attempt to win the affections of a girl only in Hollywood! We need to grasp the seriousness of eternity and value our souls!

While it’s true that salvation is a free gift from God, it’s also true that our salvation has a tremendous cost attached to it. The price of a man’s soul is so great that God had to pay for it Himself.

God, in His infinite wisdom and grace, has allowed us to have a say in what happens to our souls. We call this “free will.” Even though a soul has infinite worth, it’s not something we can put a dollar value on! In Mark 8, Jesus asks this provocative question: “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”

On January 8, 1956, a young American missionary - Jim Elliot - was martyred, along with four other missionary friends in Ecuador.

He had penned this perceptive line before he died: “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” Bottom line Not for Sale!

What is the meaning of the story of the rich man and Lazarus?

The story shows that

• The Jewish religious leaders thought that they enjoyed God’s favor. But they experienced death, as it were, when God rejected them and their form of worship because they did not accept Jesus’ message. And they were tormented by the message that Jesus and his followers preached.—Matthew 23:29, 30; Acts 5:29-33.

• The common people—who had long been neglected by their religious leaders—were now experiencing favor. Many accepted the Scriptural message that Jesus taught and benefited from it. They now had the opportunity to enjoy God’s favor eternally.— John 17:3.

any years ago, I read an article about a local guy who appraised marbles - of all things! It sounds strange, but it was a fascinating piece about agates, cats-eyes, and clay marbles. My father had a large marble collection as a young boy growing up in the 30s, which he held onto.

When I was about ten years old, part of his collection was given to me. I was thrilled and hung onto these beautiful round stones and glasses over the years. I contacted this marble expert to find out if I could get my own collection appraised. Sure enough - he would be happy to check it out - there was only one itsy-bitsy hangup - his fee. The price? His pick of any two of my collection. The cost was more than I was willing to pay, so that was the end of that. Sorry - but not for sale.

There’s a story told of Winston Churchill - sources say it’s unlikely - though not impossible - this happened.

Nonetheless, it’s telling; Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?

Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill…well, I suppose…we would have to discuss terms, of course.

Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?

Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!

Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that.

Now we are haggling about the price.

Howard Hughes once said: “Everyone has a price tag.” But is that really true? I don’t think so. I believe there are still people of integrity

who cannot be bought off.

I recently saw an interview with Jennifer Sey, Levi’s brand president, who quit her job with the company after they tried unsuccessfully to silence her after she publicly spoke out against school closures during the Covid pandemic. Sey has four children and her opinion was that the schools should be kept open - her opinion.

Levi offered her a one million dollar severance package but told her she would have to sign a nondisclosure agreement - in other words, keep your mouth shut. Her response? No deal. It was a tough decision, but Sey was not for sale. I was impressed!

Losing one’s marbles is one thing, and losing a million dollars is quite another, but ramping this up a bit how about losing your life?

Around 160 AD, the martyrdom of Polycarp was documented. The early Christian church was hated by the Roman Empire, mainly for the refusal of Christians to sacrifice to the Roman gods. The Romans often demanded that the Christians deny their faith or be killed.

Brought before the tribunal, Polycarp refused to deny Christ, although the proconsul begged him to “Consider yourself and have pity on your great age. Reproach Christ and I will release you.”

Polycarp replied, “Eighty-six years I have served Him, and He never once wronged me.

How can I blaspheme my King, who saved me?!” Long story short, he was martyred - they tried to torch him at the stake but the fire wouldn’t burn him, so they plunged a sword into him instead.

Polycarp paid a dear price, but he wasn’t for sale.

Polycarp is the exact opposite of the character in

in young horses), abortion in broodmares, and equine herpesvirus myeloencephalitis (EHM, the neurologic form).

In many horses, the first or only sign of EHV-1 infection is fever, which can go undetected. In addition to fever, other common signs of EHV1 infection in young horses include cough, decreased appetite, depression, and a

nasal discharge. Pregnant mares typically show no signs of infection before they abort, and abortions usually occur late in gestation (around eight months) but can be earlier. Abortions can occur anywhere from two weeks to several months following infection with EHV-1.

Horses with EHM usually have a fever at the onset of the

disease and might show signs of a respiratory infection. A few days later, neurologic signs such as ataxia (incoordination), weakness or paralysis of the fore- and hind limbs, urine retention and dribbling, loss of tail tone, and recumbency (inability to rise) develop.

Herpesvirus is easily spread by nose-to-nose or

close contact with an infectious horse; sharing contaminated equipment including bits, buckets, and towels; or clothing, hands, or equipment of people who have recently had contact with an infectious horse. Routine biosecurity measures, including hygiene and basic cleaning and disinfection practices, should be in place

at all times to help prevent disease spread.

Current EHV-1 vaccines might reduce viral shedding but are not protective against the neurologic form of the disease. Implementing routine biosecurity practices is the best way to minimize viral spread, and the best method of disease control is disease prevention.

JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES | CONTRIBUTED

n Luke chapter 16, Jesus describes two men who experience drastic changes in their circumstances.

Here is a summary of the story Jesus told: A rich man lived in luxury. A beggar named Lazarus was placed at the rich man’s gate; he hoped to be given any food that dropped from the rich man’s table. In time, Lazarus died, and angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In the story, both men are portrayed as conscious after death. The dead rich man was being tormented by a blazing fire and asked Abraham to send Lazarus to cool his tongue with a drop of water from Lazarus’ finger. Abraham denied the rich man’s request and said that both men had now experienced a complete reversal of their circumstances and that a great chasm had been formed between the two that could not be crossed.

Did this story really happen?

No. This is a parable that Jesus related in order to teach a lesson. The fact that this is a parable is acknowledged by scholars. For example, a subheading in the 1912 edition of Luther’s Bible states that this is a parable. And the Catholic Jerusalem Bible, in a footnote, states that this is a “parable in story form without reference to any historical personage.”

Was Jesus teaching lessons about life after death? Did he mean that some people suffer in a hellfire when they die and that Abraham and Lazarus were in heaven? Several facts show that this could not be the case.

For example: • If the rich man were in a literal place of burning torment, would not the fire evaporate the water on Lazarus’ fingertip?

• Even if it were not evaporated, would a single drop of water bring the rich man lasting relief from his suffering in a literal fire?

• How could Abraham be alive in heaven, since Jesus clearly stated that up to the time Jesus related the parable, no one had gone to heaven?—John 3:13.

Does this story support the doctrine of hellfire?

No. Although this is not a literal story, some argue that it symbolizes the idea that good people go to heaven and bad people are tormented in hellfire, but it's not reasonable.

The teaching of hellfire does not fit in with what the Bible says about the condition of the dead. For example, it does not say that all good people who die experience bliss in heaven or that bad people are tortured in hellfire. Rather, the Bible clearly states: “The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5.

two groups of people were about to experience a great change in circumstances.

The rich man evidently symbolized the Jewish religious leaders, “who were money lovers.” (Luke 16:14) They listened as Jesus spoke, but they opposed his message. These religious leaders looked down on the common people.—John 7:49.

Lazarus symbolized the common people who accepted Jesus’ message and who were despised by the Jewish religious leaders.

The change in circumstances was drastic for both groups.

Lost in translation? California election ballots may be in fewer languages SAMEEA KAMAL | CALMATTERS

T

he Secretary of State’s office is requiring election ballots and other voter information to be translated into fewer languages. Advocacy groups are alarmed and urging action in time for the June primary.

The 2020 Census confirms California’s status as one of the nation’s most diverse states — second behind only Hawaii, despite a likely undercount of Latino and Black voters. About 40 percent of Californians speak a language other than English at home — more than 200 languages and dialects — and one in five have limited English knowledge.

Combined with California’s tradition of expanding voting rights, that’s why some advocates are sounding the alarm over Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s decision to reduce the number of languages required in at least some voting precincts from 56 to 20 for the 2022 election.

As a result, some local election officials may find it more difficult to get funding to translate ballots and other voting materials for languages beyond what’s required by the federal Voting Rights Act. In a Feb. 11 letter to Weber, four voting advocacy groups expressed concern at what they called “the massive rollback of language assistance” and urged her to use her authority to uphold the expanded options.

The letter — sent by ACLU California Action, Common Cause California, Asian Americans Advancing Justice California and the Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans — cited a Brennan Center report that in 2021, at least 19 states enacted laws that made it more difficult for Americans to vote, and that bills have been introduced in four more states this year.

“The reduction of covered languages similarly creates new obstacles for limited-English proficient voters,” the letter states. “With so much at stake, California cannot backslide. We must continue to lead and take bold steps to protect voting rights and remove barriers to the ballot box for all eligible voters, including voters who

are members of language minority groups.”

RELATED: The advocates are calling on Weber to act urgently, since California’s 58 counties need time to prepare for the June primary. Otherwise, there could be significant reductions in assistance for non-English speakers, they said.

Weber’s office blames limited information from the Census Bureau for the move, but did not say if it will act on the advocacy groups’ demands.

“We were disappointed that the data we received from the Census Bureau did not include the level of detail we previously received in 2017,” Joe Kocurek, Weber’s press secretary, said in a statement. “We are currently exploring options to ensure that voters have the tools they need to effectively vote.”

He declined further comment on Friday.

The Secretary of State’s Dec. 31 guidance to county clerks and registrars of voters was perplexing for advocates, partly because voter protections have been a cornerstone not just for the state , but for Weber.

Appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom , she is making history as California’s first Black Secretary of State , and only the fifth African American to serve as a state constitutional officer.

“The fact that each citizen is a primary officeholder in a democracy is the lodestone tenet of our system of government,” Weber said at her swearing-in ceremony in January 2021. “It is my responsibility as Secretary of State to ensure that more Californians are able to exercise that power through the electoral process, and that our elections remain secure, accessible and fair even under the most adverse conditions.”

Over the last year, her office has regularly hosted events and campaigns to promote voter participation.

And in a joint commentary with Michigan’s secretary of state published Friday by CNN, Weber stressed her commitment to equal access for all voters — and warned that supporters of the “Big Lie” that former President Donald Trump won in 2020

We must continue to lead and take bold steps to protect voting rights and remove barriers to the ballot box for all eligible voters, including voters who are members of language minority groups.”

LETTER FROM VOTER ADVOCACY GROUPS TO SECRETARY OF STATE SHIRLEY WEBER

are running to be the chief election officers in their states this year. A “choice between truth and lies, autocracy and democracy” will be on the ballot, wrote Weber, who is seeking reelection.

Over the years, California dropped its ID requirement and allowed same-day voter registration and preregistration as early as age 16. The state also expanded early voting and vote-by-mail. For the 2020 election and 2021 recall election, California joined three other states that responded to the pandemic by mailing a ballot to every voter. Despite COVID, the November 2020 election set records for voters registered and total votes cast.

Last year, the Legislature passed and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill to permanently require mail ballots be sent to every voter.

HOW ARE LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS DECIDED? In 28 California counties, the federal Voting Rights Act requires translations for the most common languages for non-English speakers, including Spanish, Filipino, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Vietnamese.

The state determines whether to add more languages — including Khmer, Russian and Farsi — and

whether to require language assistance in more voting precincts.

On Jan. 1 of each year with an election for governor, the Secretary of State determines which voting precincts have enough “single language minority” voters who need assistance to vote . In precincts where 3% or more of the voting-age population falls into that category, counties must provide translations for ballots and voting materials in those languages and make a good-faith effort to recruit poll workers who speak those languages .

But this year, new Census Bureau privacy rules to protect its data from being used by private companies means the state is getting less information to use for its language determinations. And that means there will be far fewer precincts that meet that 3% threshold, Weber’s office says.

The difference is stark between the state tabulation based on Census data and the federal Voting Rights Act data. For instance, while the latest Voting Rights Act data shows 9,228 Tagalog-speaking adults in Orange County, the Census shows none. In Sacramento County, voting rights data shows 6,574 Hmong voting-age residents, while the Census data lists none.

“We strongly encourage counties to work with their community groups to determine if a need exists for any of the previously covered languages. Counties should consider the need of their communities before eliminating languages that were previously covered,” Weber’s office told county clerks and registrars of voters.

But without the state determinations, the advocacy groups say that languages will be cut.

For example, counties including Santa Clara and San Mateo confirmed to the groups that they would continue offering the languages they did in the 2021 recall election. Other counties, however, said that they could not secure funding from their board of supervisors without a mandate from the secretary of state.

Since 2018, the number of potential languages for voter information translations has grown in California. Six were added that year : Arabic, Armenian, Hmong, Persian, Punjabi, and Syriac.

And after Asian Americans Advancing Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California Foundation won a lawsuit against then-Secretary of State Alex Padilla , another 14 languages were added in 2019: Bengali, Burmese,

Gujurati, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Laotian, Mien, Mongolian, Nepali, Tamil, Telegu, Thai and Urdu.

The translations are meant to ensure that residents with limited English skills — 6.8 million, making up about 20% of the state’s population — can vote without any barriers. In some places, voter participation is lower among non-whites .

“California has often led on language assistance for voters, and we don’t want to see a problem coming out of a data issue getting in the way of voters getting the language assistance they’re accustomed to and that they need to be able to vote,” said Julia Marks, staff attorney and program manager with the voting rights project at Asian Americans Advancing Justice.

Jonathan Mehta Stein, executive director of Common Cause California, said his group believes that Weber’s office understands “the enormity of the problem” created by the new language determinations.

“Everything their office stands for suggests that they’ll work towards solutions immediately,” he said.

“We hope that they’ll do that in collaboration with voting rights advocates and leaders in limited-English speaking communities.”

Jeanine Erikat, a policy associate with Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans, a research and advocacy group for refugees in San Diego County, said the Secretary of State’s language decisions are especially important to guarantee language assistance to the people her organization serves — such as Middle Eastern and North African voters, who are designated as White in the census, or East African residents.

“It’s really an exciting moment for communities who’ve been here for fiveplus years and are acclimating and engaging civically in different ways,” she said. “And now they’re having to rely on someone who can translate for them, and we know often that means relying on a child or a neighbor or a community member. And it’s just not the same as being able to vote for yourself and really ensure you’re getting all the correct information.”

STRAIT ON

Not my Problem STRAIT ON | SENIOR REPORTER

“Not my problem,” has become one of the more common expressions from today’s generation, a culture in which the cell phone is often more important than what’s for dinner or breakfast or lunch.

Sadly, instead of learning from their elders, their elders pick up the worst habits of their offspring to “be young.”

Folks, it doesn’t work that way and the deeper we sink into this attitude, the closer we come to losing everything we have as a country, including democracy itself.

I spoke with someone earlier today who was trying to get out of jury duty. She has a legitimate reason, but how often do we hear, “I just don’t have time to go sit in a courtroom for days or weeks. Jury duty is precisely that, a duty. We are obligated as citizens of this great country to contribute. Serving on a jury is not only an obligation but the way we ourselves are judged by our fellow citizens, instead of some dictatorial state court.

Remember the old adage, “Use it or lose it?”

The tools of democracy rust when they are not put into action. Democracy is a well-oiled institution as long as we keep it oiled. However, when let go to rust, it reacts like anything else left to misuse and abuse and it dies of neglect.

To say that Russia’s incursion into Ukraine is a European problem, not ours, is not to have the faintest knowledge of history. Germany was

Putin is Playing Biden like a Fiddle peril.

RUSTY STRAIT: Senior Reporter for the Hemet & San Jacinto Chronicle. | File Photo. a European problem, not an American one until Japan knocked us on our sleepy behinds and then Germany became our problem. It became a world problem. The Western world leaders were asleep at the wheel, and I’m afraid we are already feeling a bit drowsy. It is time to wake up to reality. “Not my problem,’ now belongs to antiquity, along with steam engines and high buttoned shoes.

NATO and the European Union just happen to be the buffer zone protecting our peace and preventing a possible knuckler war. Families around the world do not want that kind of war.

No country can afford one. But, if the general population in the United States doesn’t wake up to the real world, we just might find thousands of American s displaced and traveling in whatever direction they can to escape the horror of a scorched earth.

I’m no seer, for sure, but I’m not in self-denial as to the possibilities of a nuclear age that is just aching to destroy everything on this wonderful planet we have inherited.

Wake up America catch up to history before it is too late.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: I just finished checking out the political cartoon in the Chronicle’s “Politics” section this last week. It pictures two children with measles asking their mom to remind them why they didn’t get the measles shot. Her reply: “They’re bad for you. I read that somewhere on Facebook.”

Of course, this is a shot (no pun intended) at those who haven’t taken, nor will take, the Covid shot. I don’t know who designed and wrote this silly cartoon, but certainly they must have their head in the sand regarding this jab - do they ever listen to honest news? At least half the people I know personally who have had Covid had gotten the jab! They got Covid anyway and many others have suffered with side effects! One friend has just gotten out of the hospital with Covid after having had the initial jab plus a follow-up jab #2!

And just a sideline: Not one person I have known has ever gotten the measles vaccine and then contracted measles!!! As the age old question begs: Is a fisherman still a fisherman if he never catches any fish? So, if a vaccine doesn’t protect against what the vaccine is supposed to protect against, is the vaccine still a vaccine?! I think not.

V

lad Putin, the evil though very calculating chief oligarch of the shriveled nation of Russia (when stacked against its predecessor, the Soviet Union), is playing chess over the fate of Ukraine, while our figurehead president and his gaggle of administration mediocrities (here being charitable) and Pentagon toadies play checkers. I’ll venture this wager -- though with modest reservations: Putin will bring Ukraine into his orbit without sending his troops en masse into said country.

On Monday, Putin recognized Russian-dominated regions of Ukraine, followed by a minor incursion of “peacekeepers,” traveling by bus, not APC. Putin doesn’t need a full-scale invasion, I believe, because his approach is strategic. His eye is on the prize: take Ukraine in some shape or form (as he took parts on Monday).

He’s open to the means, no doubt, and if an invasion -- likely surgical in nature -- is his only route to achieve his ends, he’ll take the gamble. The U.S. declared that it won’t send troops to defend Ukraine.

NATO is in tow. Speaking of which, that woeful collection of nations called “NATO” (including the now Russia-compromised Germany, which sorely needs Russian natural gas), is in no position to stop him, short of a major war.

Sanctions after-the-fact, as our addled president is pushing, will not deter Putin. He sees weakness and irresolution among western leaders, Biden first and foremost. Chances are he’ll make the assumption that sanctions would be short-lived, anyway. Always follow the money, which corrupt Western elites are hooked on worse than crack.

Make no mistake, a major land war in Eastern Europe would not only result in significant death and destruction but risks escalation -- a broadening that can be somewhat gamed but not fully predicted.

Russia, despite its diminution, is still a nuclear power, which is rarely acknowledged by those inexhaustible talking heads on cable news, by members of Congress, and, of course, at

State Department and Pentagon podiums.

What do we know about war? It’s unpredictable as hell, and anyone who tells you otherwise has snake oil coursing through his veins.

Paying Putin short shrift is foolish; underestimating any enemy is. But if you live on a steady diet of U.S. media, Putin is a one-dimensional man, a cardboard cutout, made to fit the biases that the media and Biden administration project on him. “Vlad the Invader,” goes the 24/7 drone. Putin, we’re lectured, has only one song in his playbook: outright force. Putin, goes the cliché, intends to recreate the old Soviet Empire. Maybe in Putin’s dreams, but no talking head ever stops to ask, “How?” Do the cliché spewers think that Putin intends to unleash columns of Russian tanks and troops west in a mad dash to recapture Berlin? West of Ukraine are NATO countries. War, then, becomes automatic.

The U.S. is all-in, and Putin would reckon that with trepidation. Even today’s Western European Chamberlains and decadents would have to rouse themselves to oppose so great a threat.

Ah, say the chattering class, Putin could resort to subversion and chicanery to recapture those former Soviet satraps. Yet that suggests a sophistication of approach not now acknowledged in Putin. But remember this: subversion is a double-edged sword.

Russia isn’t the colossus that Cold War fixated think-tank blatherers and congressional hacks present it as. Russia has weaknesses -- exploitable vulnerabilities. Two can play the game of subversion.

Not to mention the many coordinated external pressures that can be brought to bear.

W e can say with button-popping confidence that Putin never -- never -- would be attempting to recapture Ukraine with Donald J. Trump occupying the Oval Office. A strong man -- an apex predator, which Putin is -- takes the measure of adversaries. For Putin, Biden is prey. Trump was -- and may well again be -- a steely adversary crossed at great

Biden’s intermediaries now seek talks for Biden with Putin.

Biden has assented, provided Russia hasn’t invaded Ukraine. Biden may have just boxed himself in.

How does Putin regard such a gambit? Does he regard Biden as coming from a position of strength or weakness? Putin has at least 150,000 troops, weaponry, and equipment deployed along Ukraine’s borders. (Another cliché is that Putin must invade because he’s assembled this fighting force. Really? But if he’s a strategist focused on the prize, the pressure of massed troops and weaponry may alone induce the capitulations he needs to achieve his goal.)

Biden and his handlers brazenly and stupidly threw away the U.S.’s greatest leverage in stopping Putin: American energy independence, our ability to furnish much of Western Europe’s energy needs (Germany’s in particular), and Biden’s reckless approval of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which solidifies Germany’s dependence on Russia.

So, if Putin and Biden meet, what cards does Biden hold, other than deuces? From the file: “Who trusts Biden as commander-in-chief?” this speculation: In talks, Biden will grant de facto control of Ukraine to Putin.

Biden will stoutly deny doing so. In exchange, Putin will “deescalate” along Ukraine’s borders. Jen Psaki and the establishment media will spin Biden as a glorious leader whose jawboning averted war. Nobel Peace Prize-worthy, without a doubt. Of course, Putin, the chess player, captures his king. Putin gains real estate and resources, as well as acing NATO out of Ukraine, while Biden champions a lie.

While Putin plays Biden, isn’t it as true that our president is trying to play us, the American people? No, the dog isn’t being wagged here, not strictly. Biden’s handlers found a crisis not to waste. We’re witnessing full diversion mode as American news outlets happily obsess on Ukraine.

Never mind that the U.S.-Mexican border has been dissolved (not breached, but eliminated). Forget that energy prices continue t o

climb, further fueling inflation, which is the bastard child of profligate federal spending and an obscene volume of money-printing that’s simply indefensible.

Democrat-run cities are trending toward eventual collapse as lawlessness pushes these metropolises toward some primitive state. Biden renews a state of emergency under the guise of the increasingly phonied-up COVID pandemic. Affluent white progressives ceaselessly pimp racial hatred, trying to divide Americans to feed their voracious appetites for power. Illicit drug deaths reached 100,000 last year. But let’s stop. The list is too dreary to continue.

A massive diversion is underway. Putin has nothing to do with it. The nation is a cauldron of troubles, any one of which could erupt in crisis, or simultaneous crises that could result in systemic failure. In the 2020s, the nation is confronting the greatest threats to its welfare and being since the 1850s and 1860s. But no matter, Putin may invade Ukraine.

Trust Biden? Given his awful destructive tendencies, I don’t think Hunter trusts Joe. Trust Biden after his Afghanistan fiasco? Trust our intelligence agencies, like the CIA, which is implicated in the most dangerous political scandal in American history -- the Russia Collusion Hoax? Trust that buffoon, Mark Milley, who skirted sedition when he went behind Trump’s back after the 2020 elections to assure his PRC counterpart that Trump would be prevented from launching a nuclear attack on China as, one supposes, the ultimate diversion.

What about the oily Jake Sullivan, Hillary Clinton campaign flunky, who may be enmeshed in the Clinton campaign’s alleged efforts to destroy candidate and then-President Trump? The same Jake Sullivan who assured us that Kabul would stand.

I’m convinced we have the greatest collection of gross incompetents and most corrupted people in positions of power and authority in our nation’s long history.

Putin the chess player sees all this, and he’s playing Biden and the entire rotted establishment that undergirds B i d e n’s presidency like a fiddle.

Palm Springs quad homicide case Prosecutor calls killings ‘assassinations’ as trial nears end CHRISTOPHER DAMIEN | CONTRIBUTED

P

rosecutors in the murder trial of the 22-year-old Cathedral City man charged with killing four people in Palm Springs in 2019 began making their final arguments Tuesday, describing the fatal shootings as “targeted assassinations” and “executions.”

Deputy District Attorney Samantha Paixao summed up the county’s case against Jose Larin-Garcia before Superior Court Judge Anthony Villalobos.

“In a matter of moments, Vladis took four people from this world, without blinking an eye,” Paixao said, referring to Larin-Garcia by a nickname identified during testimony in the three-month trial.

Larin-Garcia pleaded not guilty to the killings of Carlos Campos Rivera, 25; Jacob Montgomery, 19; Juan Duarte Raya, 18; and Yuliana Garcia, 17. All

were fatally shot on Feb. 3, 2019.

Larin-Garcia faces the possibility of a death sentence if convicted.

He did not testify during the trial.

PROSECUTOR: ‘HE DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE EXECUTED’ No one who witnessed the killings is alive, Paixao said throughout the trial, only Larin-Garcia.

As a result, she said, the case has been built off of testimony provided by witnesses that Larin-Garcia had been in a car that night with Montgomery, Duarte Raya and Garcia.

Through the trial, the prosecution presented evidence that Montgomery had negotiated a drug deal with Campos Rivera through text messages soon before the shooting.

Paixao said that Larin-Garcia shot Campos Rivera during the transaction, and then killed the other three because they witnessed the shooting of Campos Rivera.

Paixao said while the teens may have been engaged in illegal drug activity, they should not have paid for that with their lives.

“It doesn’t matter what he was trying to sell, he didn’t deserve to be executed for it,” Paixao said, referring to Montgomery.

Paixao provided an account of the four killings in graphic detail to the jurors, and several family members of the victims who were in the courtroom. Also present in the courtroom at the Larson Justice Center in Indio was Larin-Garcia’s mother, who testified during the trial.

The deputy district attorney emphasized what she said was Larin-Garcia’s intent to kill: “Every time he moves that gun each and every time he pulls that trigger,” she said, he meant to kill them all.

“He shot every single one of those victims in the head,” she said.

Paixao similarly described the killings as “executions” during the opening statement she gave at the trial’s beginning in November. She did not finish her closing statement on Tuesday and will continue Wednesday.

John Dolan, Larin-Garcia’s defense attorney, is scheduled to give his closing statement Wednesday. Dolan previously said that a second man was seen fleeing the scene of the shootings and focused on how police did not find the gun used in the shooting as possible reasons to suspect someone else was involved.

The defense has focused on statements made online by a person who apparently attempted to take credit for the killings, John Olvera. Paixao, anticipating the defense’s statements, emphasized that Olvera testified and said

statements he had made taking credit for the shootings were false.

LARIN-GARCIA ARRESTED AT BUS STATION IN INDIO Just before midnight on Feb. 3, 2019, Palm Springs police were dispatched to several reports of shots fired. Campos Rivera was found fatally shot on Canon Drive. Montgomery, Duarte Raya and Garcia were found dead in a green Toyota Carolla that had crashed into a brick wall in the 3700 block of East Sunny Dunes Road.

Police patrolling the area soon after the shootings found Larin-Garcia hiding under a truck a few blocks away. Officers testified that Larin-Garcia had several injuries and did not provide clear information about what involvement, if any, he had to the shootings and the crashed car.

He was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center to be treated, and checked himself out a few hours later.

Police then began tracking Larin-Garcia and found out from his mother that one of his friends, Joseph Beaver of Palm Springs, was helping arrange for him to leave the state. Joseph Beaver testified that Larin-Garcia had arrived at his home early Feb. 4, and that he had helped him gather belongings and bought him a bus ticket to Florida under a fake name. Police found and arrested Larin-Garcia that evening at the Greyhound bus station in Indio.

The prosecution questioned a witness who participated in an undercover operation in the jail, who testified anonymously by the judge’s order. The witness said that Larin-Garcia made statements in the jail cell indicating he was worried he would be convicted of the crime and this his mother might also face charges.

CALIFORNIA STATE

California Mortgage and Rent Relief Programs Available ALICIA DOYLE | CONTRIBUTED

A

s many people continue to struggle financially in the pandemic, programs in California are offering assistance to help homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments, as well as renters who are falling behind. Learn more about these programs and how they can help.

CALIFORNIA MORTGAGE RELIEF PROGRAM The California Mortgage Relief Program is a state program created to help qualified homeowners who are behind on their mortgage payments because they were financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The program uses federal Homeowner Assistance Funds to provide a one-time grant of up to $80,000 per household to help qualifying homeowners get caught up on their payments.

The grants are directly tied to the past due amount the homeowner owes their lender and funds are directly sent to the homeowner’s lender or mortgage servicer. The assistance provided through this program is not a loan and does not need to be paid back.

Homeowners who want to tap into the California Mortgage Relief Program should do the following: 1. Check to see if they are eligible to apply for the California Mortgage Relief Program by visiting camortgage relief.org and clicking the “Apply Here” button.

Homeowners who meet the pre-screening criteria may

complete an application for funding.

2. If a homeowner has questions about the application, they can call (888) 840-2594 for help. Housing counselors can also provide assistance and help homeowners review any other available options.

Homeowners can find a local HUD-certified housing counselor at (800) 569-4287.

3. Once an application is approved, funds will be sent directly to the mortgage servicer to catch the homeowner up on all past due payments.

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria: • Household income at or below 100% of their county’s area median income.

• Missed at least two mortgage payments prior to Dec. 27, 2021.

• Own a single-family home, condo or permanently affixed manufactured home.

• And, faced a pandemic-related financial hardship after Jan. 21, 2020.

• In addition, applicants must meet one of the following criteria: • Receiving public assistance.

• Severely housing burdened (costs for your mortgage, property taxes and other housing expenses are more than 40% of your income).

This is a new program and it is important for homeowners to understand some of the key criteria. For one, the program is open to all eligible Californians who are currently experiencing pandemic-related hardships and have fallen behind on their housing payments.

CALIFORNIA COVID-19 RENT RELIEF Eligible households with rent — both for past due and future payments — can be helped through the California COVID-19 Rent Relief program.

Landlords and renters can apply online at housing. ca.gov.

For unpaid rent, landlords who participate in the program can get reimbursed for an eligible renter’s unpaid rent; and eligible renters whose landlords choose not to participate in the program may apply on their own and receive assistance for unpaid rent.

Eligible renters can also receive financial assistance for unpaid utility payments, which will be compensated at 100% of cost and paid directly to the utility provider.

Some restrictions apply.

Renters can apply if they have been impacted by

OWN A NEW HOME!

COVID-19, are income eligible, have unpaid rent or utilities, or need assistance with future rent or utilities.

Landlords can apply for the program if they have renters who are behind on their rent and need financial assistance to support this income loss as long as: • The renter’s household is income eligible, which the state will calculate when they apply.

• All payments you receive must be used to satisfy the renter’s unpaid rent. Eligible time frame for financial • Or, have no alternative mortgage workout options (loan modifications) through your mortgage servicer.

More information regarding eligibility can be found at camortgagerelief.org/ who-is-eligible.

Homeowners who fell behind on their mortgage last year due to a pandemic-relat-

ed hardship could be eligible to get caught up on payments and the funds do not have to be repaid. The program is funded through the federal government’s Homeowner Assistance Fund. While there is no deadline to apply, applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible.

• The renters takes steps to verify that they meet eligibility requirements and sign the application. They will be notified once your application submitted and asked to submit their required information.

It’s important to note the paperwork required for both renters and landlords.

Renters need one of the following: 2020 tax return; 2020 W2 and 1099G if you were unemployed; current pay stubs; or proof of participation in a state or federal subsidy program, such as CalFresh or CalWORKS.

Renters applying for assistance with utility bills must provide invoices or statements for any unpaid utility, water, trash and internet bills after April 1, 2020.

Required paperwork from landlords includes the lease or rental agreement reflecting renter’s name, residence address and monthly rent due; a rent ledger or rent statement showing the balance of unpaid rent from April 1, 2020; and a W-8 or W-9 for tax purposes.

Those without all the paperwork required can still apply, because most of the information can be certified in the application with proof of identification.

For more information about the California COVID-19 Rent Relief program, call (833) 430-2122; or to schedule an appointment with an organization in your area, call (833) 687-0967.

veryone dreams of owning a home where they can create memories, welcome guests and find respite.

While that dream can be difficult to achieve in California — where the need for housing is urgent — some visionary builders are paving a new path to homeownership.

Perpetual Homes, founded by Katherine Anderson, delivers the knowledge gained from working in traditional homebuilding for over 38 years with the adaptability of accessory dwelling units, or ADUs. With the new 2020 California ADU laws, Perpetual Homes can help achieve more housing much quicker and at a more affordable price. The company’s homebuilding experience ensures an exceptional, functional and beautiful home.

Perpetual Homes’ new

Perpetual Lux product line offers modular ADUs designed, built and engineered to California code.

These ADUs are built much quicker than custom site-built homes and are less expensive without jeopardizing high quality.

In addition, the ADU adds enhanced equity for property owners and enables relatives or friends to be close by.

“Strong demand for multigenerational living has been at an all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Anderson explains.

“In addition, clients are enhancing their family incomes (in some cases over $4,000 a month) by renting out their ADUs, as well as offering an early retirement vehicle.

“Return on investment can be as high as 15% plus,” she adds. “These beautifully crafted homes, with a fast build time and less hassle, result in high-level customer satisfaction.”

Perpetual Homes is dedicated to making a difference in the California housing landscape with help from single-family and multifamily property homeowners.

Pricing starts in the $249,000 range for the Perpetual Lux product line, while Perpetual Homes’ traditional manufactured product line starts in the low $200,000s.

Based in Danville, California, Perpetual Homes was founded in 2019 to provide prefab ADUs. With more than 38 years of development entitlement experience in the Bay Area, Perpetual Homes is the most experienced company in the industry.

shaped by a very passionate environmental teacher such as Dagostino, which led me to where I am today,” Knox said. “I hope the kids learn the importance of keeping a habitat pristine.”

Knox said just having the students get outside and be with nature can help them, and anyone, better understand their environment.

While not all students who attend Noli are from Soboba, Knox believes they will be able to take the important lessons they learn home and be able to think about it more critically.

“The best I can ask for is that a student is inspired to be where I am now when the time comes, that the environment speaks to them as it has spoken to me in the past and that even one student decides on a career in the sciences, ultimately bettering the planet in the process,” Knox said.

Each of the following native plants that are in the process of being restored has a unique purpose. Jessica Valdez provided an extensive list of local native species, used traditionally for edible, practical and medicinal purposes.

Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) flourishes in washes and canyons, dry slopes and alpine meadows.

Its seeds and young shoots can be eaten. Its flowers can be steeped in water to make an eyewash or a laxative, and the leaves can be made into a decoction to cure headaches and stomach ailments. Medicinal properties are best derived when the plant is in a mature state.

California Sagebrush (Artemisia californica) grows on dry foothills, in chaparral, and in coastal areas, as it is extremely drought tolerant. It is considered an important medicinal plant within traditional tribal culture. The plant can be used in a tea to aid with illness, boiled and used for bathing to treat measles. Its leaves can be used as a poultice or hair wash to treat headaches and can be chewed fresh or dried and smoked to relieve colds. Its wood is used for fuel, while stems are used to make arrow shafts.

Elderberry (Sambucus mexicana) grows in can-

yons and open flats below 4,500 feet near permanent springs, along streams and in other moist areas. Its berries (sauco) can be eaten fresh, as a sauce, or in the form of a jam or jelly.

Elderberry blossoms are brewed into a medicinal tea for use in curing fevers, upset stomachs, colds, and the flu, although it must be administered in limited doses.

Medicinally, the older blossoms are considered best.

Elderberry plants provide two sources of basket dyes.

The juice of the berry produces a purplish or black coloring for dying basket materials, while the stem is used to make a yellow or orange dye. Twigs are used to make whistles.

Chia (Salvia columbariae) seeds can be ground into meal to make chia cakes or mush. Beverages can be made of unground seeds by soaking them in water. Medicinally, chia mush is used as a poultice on infections. The mush is wrapped while hot in a cloth and applied to the infected area. The seeds can also be used to cleanse the eyes or remove foreign matter causing irritation.

Chia seeds are a superfood, as they are a good source of energy and protein. They are high in fiber and their gelatinous properties promote hydration. Traditionally, eaten by the pinchful, are known to have sustained Native people for up to 12 hours on long journeys.

Western Cottonwood (Populus fremonti) trees thrive in moist places, along stream sides and in alluvial fans, below 6,500 feet.

The cottonwood provides fast burning firewood and is also used to manufacture tools of various kinds.

Its trunk is used to make wooden mortars for grinding soft foods. The cottonwood contains salicylic acid and has medicinal properties similar to those of aspirin. The bark and leaves can be boiled to make a solution or a poultice for headaches, cuts and swelling.

Mushrooms found on dead cottonwoods are known as saqapish in Cahuilla; they are a popular food and considered a delicacy, as they can be roasted, boiled, fried and used in gravies.

CROSSWORD ANSWER

learn about native plants, invasive species and the removal of the invasive, is that it takes action. “Change and restoration is possible with action.

We can tend the land and it can provide healthy and viable resources.”

During the past five years, native plants have slowly been added to the campus’ landscape through both the cultural and science programs. All grade levels, 6-12, participated in planting the native plants on school grounds during the cross collaboration between the departments.

Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Joseph Ontiveros and Cultural Resource Specialist Jessica Valdez from Soboba’s Cultural Resource Department are currently working with Noli students on the habitat restoration/rehabilitation project as it pertains to ecology.

“The project is in its beginning stages, and thus far we have worked with one of Mr. Dagostino’s classes to remove invasive plant species from the sloped wash area, that lines the campus along Poppet Flats Road,” Valdez said. “Prior to proceeding with the removal of invasive species, students analyzed plant species in 200-foot long transects, every 20 feet.”

Per Valdez, “The following invasive species are currently being removed: filaree/stork’s bill, black mustard, stinknet, Russian thistle, salt cedar, tree tobacco and non-native grasses.

The next steps will include replenishment of the area via planting of native plant species, such as Buckwheat, California Sagebrush, Elderberry, Chia and Western Cottonwood.”

“It is our hopes that the collaborative learning exchange that exists between Noli and the Soboba Cultural Resource Department will result in the long-term preservation of cultural resources – materials, landscapes and traditions – for future generations to come,” Valdez said.

Soboba’s Tribal Environmental Department is also providing assistance to the classes.

Environmental Specialist Micah Knox said, “We wish to help his class and any other students or tribal members willing to learn the importance of environmental awareness, the consequences of degradation and destruction, and the reasons why people such as us get up every morning.”

He feels it’s important for projects such as this to be implemented at a young age because it can shape young minds. “When I was a high school student I was

CALIFORNIA STATE

New suit: Ugly race bias in the workplace at Tesla TOM D’AGOSTINO | CONTRIBUTED

T

he state of California, through its Department of Fair Employment and Housing, has filed a bombshell race bias lawsuit.

The new suit accuses Tesla of subjecting employees at its Fremont plant to discrimination and ugly harassment based on race.

Tesla is “a company that profits from an army of production workers, many of whom are people of color, working under egregious conditions,” the suit says.

SUIT ALLEGES SEGREGATION According to the suit, Tesla segregates “Black and/ or African American” workers and places them at the lowest levels.

It alleges that while those workers make up about 20% of “factory operatives” – such as engine and machine assemblers – there are no Black executives.

And only 3% of the professional positions at the plant consist of Black workers, it adds.

Apart from the allegations of severe underrepresentation in key roles, the complaint levies a barrage of stark allegations of racist behavior.

The company assigns Black workers to more physically demanding job posts, it asserts.

Tesla denies them advancement opportunities and disciplines them more severely than non-Black workers, it adds.

Supervisors and managers “constantly” use the N-word and other racial slurs to refer to Black employees, the suit alleges. And it says that restroom walls and stalls, lunch tables and factory machinery have been defaced with swastikas, “KKK” and other racist graffiti.

and physical confrontations, the department says.

For nearly 10 years, the suit asserts, Black workers have presented complaints about the treatment but to no avail.

The company violated California law because it did not take sufficient remedial measures in response to complaints of discrimination and harassment, the suit alleges.

It also says higher-ups discouraged Black workers from complaining. And Tesla paid them less than non-Black employees, it says.

MEDIATION DIDN’T WORK Before the suit was filed, the department required Tesla to participate in a dispute resolution proceeding. They were unable to resolve the case using that route.

The suit alleges racial discrimination, retaliation and constructive discharge. For good measure, it accuses Tesla of committing recordkeeping violations.

The suit seeks comp ens ator y and punitive damages and other relief.

f you didn’t know it was there, you probably wouldn’t even notice it. Lowe’s Cupcake Corner & Bakery is nestled next to a larger business at the Southwest Corner of Florida Avenue and Meridian Street in Hemet. Heather Lowe, the ever-smiling owner, welcomes you like a long-lost family member with a beaming smile and plenty of sweet aromas.

Despite the lack of publicity, her bakery is rated among the top ten small bakeries out of thirty total.

She originated in Michigan and her family moved to California some years ago. In 2017 she came to visit then; six months later, she and her husband moved here to care for her aging in-laws, who told them, “We don’t need any care, thank you. We’re pretty able to take of ourselves, so do what you want to do.”

Somewhat stunned, she and her husband conferred. She always wanted to own a bakery since she had been banking most of her life.

“I have always liked making bread and cupcakes. So I wanted to bake.

Wow did she come to have her current business?

“I started on Facebook.

Cup Cake sales on Facebook - which did not go over well. Then I started working at Safe Haus Craft Beer and Kitchen in Moreno Valley. A sole-proprietorship, not a corporation.

They allowed me to take some of their beers and make caramels. I showed them how I could do things

- and then the COVID Pandemic hit.

“That’s when I decided the only way I would make it was to open my own place while everything was in a down situation. I would sort of creek into the business. That’s how I came to this location. I made some sales at Matt McPherson’s Farmer’s Market in Hemet - then I acquired this location.”

How is business today?

“Slow right now. We opened in April 2021 right in the middle of the pandemic and we have survived despite the virus.”

She seems not at all disturbed about having a rough time establishing herself. She is very optimistic - always offering a beaming smile to patrons.

In addition to her baking prowess, she is equally proud of her six children and ten grand-babies. Her second son works with her - the rest are scattered about the country.

I can personally attest to the flavor of her productions. Sweet - Sweet Sweet.

Several customers had opinions about her bakery items: Cameron: “Business owner couldn’t be sweeter - they’re so friendly and accommodating that their personality alone makes you want to go back.

Doesn’t hurt that her baked goods are absolutely delicious.”

Hi Y: “Best cakes and donut holes in all of Hemet.”

Barbara C: “Absolutely the best cinnamon roll in town.”

He was into investing and cryptocurrency and suggested she too could invest.

"I'm like, 'I've never invested in my life.' I don't know anything about cryptocurrency either. So I was very skeptical," she said.

Hutchinson said that Hao reassured her that this was an area he knew well.

Hutchinson said Hao told her to create an account on a legitimate site, Crypto. com. Then she said he sent her a link and told her to transfer money to the new link, to what he said was a cryptocurrency exchange platform.

She started small but said

she soon started investing larger amounts.

"He just kept saying things of, like, 'Look at this money that can help support your family.' Obviously that's what I wanted to do," she said.

When her account began showing profits, she suggested to her father that he invest too and so he did.

By December, their accounts showed a combined balance of $1.2 million, and Hutchinson decided it was time to cash out. That's when the site told her before she could withdraw her money, she would have to pay a hefty "tax bill" of roughly $380,000.

She discovered that the cryptocurrency investments weren't real. All her and her father's funds had gone into the scammer's pockets.

"I messed up my life. I messed up my dad's life," Hutchinson said.

They're not alone: a new report found that just in 2021, cryptocurrency scam victims lost more than $7.7 billion.

Rich Sanders investigates cryptocurrency scams as co-founder of the com-

pany Cipherblade. When he looked at Hutchinson's transactions, he described it as a "pig-butchering scam."

"The name really comes from the fattening up before the slaughter," Sanders said.

In Hutchinson's case, he found her money started in those legitimate cryptocurrency accounts but the links the crooks told her to transfer the money to were

digital wallets belonging to the scammers.

Cipherblade's review found additional fake accounts the company says appear to be linked to the same scammers. The company told CBS News that the scammers may have stolen more than $20 million.

"I think he really played off that I was naive and not knowing anything about crypto, and taking that and running with it," Hutchinson said.
