Hemet City Council: Selecting a new Hemet City Manager RUSTY STRAIT | SENIOR REPORTER

A

fter so many City Manager disappointments over the past twelve years, you’d think that the Hemet City Council would take its time and make sure they get the next one right; yet, seemingly out of a clear blue sky, the Hemet City Council called a special meeting to announce the appointment of a new city manager. I have been besieged with questions from locals wanting to know what happened and why there was no announcement or interviews with applicants for the job.

I spoke with former Councilwoman Shellie Milne. She said, “We hired two city managers while I was on the Council. When the position was posted, we received at least 40 resumes to review. We then narrowed the field to a list of seven or eight and then held personal interviews to narrow the list to three. We then held more interviews before making

our final choice. ” There was no such posting or interviewing this time, according to my sources. They went directly to a headhunter. The Council was sworn to secrecy. That’s the brick wall I ran into.

Mayor Joe Males and Councilwoman Peterson told me that the secrecy was to prevent the selected choice’s current employer from getting wind and firing him. That doesn’t make sense to a number of people. If we were hiring him, why would that matter?

The process this time was veiled in secrecy. A recruiting firm by the name of Jacob Green & Associates was hired. I confirmed that Mr. Green does not have an office and his mailing address in Tustin is a UPS store mailbox. He has been in business for less than eighteen months. There is no indication that any ads were placed in the trade periodicals that are scrutinized by experienced city managers looking for a job. At least two qualified city manager candidates reached out to Mr.

Green but messages and emails left were not returned. Were there others who received the same snub? The citizens need to know.

The Council was sworn to secrecy as to the process. That’s the brick wall I ran into.

Mayor Joe Males and newly elected Councilwoman Jackie Peterson told me that the secrecy was to prevent the selected choice’s current employer from getting wind and firing him. That doesn’t make sense. If Hemet had decided to hire him, why would that matter?

According to Councilwoman Peterson, the Hemet City Council was presented with only one applicant, Mark Prestwick who has a long history of City Management jobs, most recently Palos Verdes Estates, Saint Helena and Nevada City. He will assume his duties in Hemet on February 21, 2023.

He is well qualified and no one has spoken against him. A graduate of Hemet High School, he is known to be liked in the community. He was a close friend of for-

mer Hemet Chief of Police Dave Brown in high school.

The questions I’m receiving have nothing to do with his qualifications. They mainly relate to the way he was chosen. People are asking questions about the process, such as:

1. How was the position advertised?

2. How many applicants applied?

3. How many applicants were presented to the City Council?

Homeless Counts Take Place Across Riverside County Over 1,000 people are slated to take part in counting the number of homeless people countywide, according to officials.

undreds of volunteers will disperse from more than three dozen locations throughout Riverside County Wednesday for the 2023 Point-In- Time homeless count, attempting to accurately record the number of chronically homeless people countywide.

"The data gathered from the count informs us where our services are needed most," Second District Supervisor Karen Spiegel said. "It is so important that we all support the count, so that every person experiencing homelessness is identified."

In the past, the county has mustered, at most, between 700 and 800 volunteers from civic organizations, church groups, colleges, nonprofit organizations and government agencies to participate. However, this year, just over 1,000 people are

slated to take part, according to officials.

"This is the largest number of volunteers ever organized to support the annual count," according to an Executive Office statement.

Participants will seek to identify the status of individuals who may be living in cars, under bridges, in transient encampments, homeless shelters and other locations.

The county Continuum of Care manages the annual outings. The entity is composed of representatives from civic groups, nonprofits and government.

The 2022 homeless census confirmed 3,316 people were chronically unsheltered, a 15% increase from two years ago.

The 2021 homeless census was severely curtailed, with virtually no canvassing of known transient dwelling spaces, because of the coronavirus public health

lockdowns. Data was based only on shelter interactions and did not provide an accurate representation of the county's homeless population.

The January 2020 count revealed 2,284 adults and youths were chronically homeless countywide, about a 3% increase from the prior year.

The initial canvass is slated to take place most of the day Wednesday, focused on the general number of dispossessed county residents. It will be followed by a secondary smaller survey Thursday, specifically seeking to estimate the number of minors on the streets.

Data is used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to determine how to distribute federal homeless relief funding, and by policy makers in determining the scope of homelessness nationwide — including what's working, and what's not.

45-year-old man who was among seven people from Riverside County charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol was sentenced Monday to 18 months in federal prison.

Andrew Alan Hernandez of Jurupa Valley pleaded guilty to a charge of aiding and abetting in the obstruction of an official proceeding in September.

Hernandez admitted the felony count under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office, which agreed to drop five related charges in exchange for the admission.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kol-

lar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C. certified the terms of the bargain and additionally ordered the defendant to spend 36 months on supervised release following his incarceration, as well as to pay $2,000 in restitution to the government.

Security surveillance camera images of Hernandez inside the Capitol Building on the day of the insurrection showed him carrying an American flag with a GoPro camera zip-tied to the pole.

The pictures, collected by the FBI and included in the indictment against the defendant, revealed he had entered the building via the East Rotunda Door, which was forced open, then

NEWS BRIEFS CALIFORNIA SKYDIVER INJURED AFTER PARACHUTE MALFUNCTIONS A skydiver was seriously injured when his parachute failed to open properly and he fell onto the roof of a home near San Diego, authorities said.

Paramedics responded around 5 p.m. Friday following reports that the skydiver struck the roof and then landed on the ground between two homes in Oceanside, the Union-Tribune reported.

Because the parachute

opened partially, the skydiver did not go into a freefall, but the drop was “at an accelerated pace” and uncontrolled, the Oceanside Fire Department said in a statement.

The skydiver, an unidentified man in his 30s or 40s, suffered injuries described as serious, but not life threatening.

Nobody on the ground was hurt.

Two people were killed on Monday when an SUV rear-ended a big rig on the 10 Freeway, was struck by another truck and then burst into flames outside Indio.

The collision was reported at 4:14 a.m., when a Subaru occupied by two unidentified people was driving westbound on Interstate 10, west of Hayfield Road, according to CHP Public Information Officer David Torres. The Riverside County Fire Department described the location as Chiriaco Summit.

Torres said the Subaru rear-ended a tractor-trailer for unknown reasons.

“After the initial im-

pact, the Subaru lost control and became disabled in the westbound lanes of traffic,” Torres said in a statement.

“The Subaru was then struck by a separate tractor-trailer combination vehicle, causing the Subaru to be pushed into the center median.”

The Subaru then caught fire and was engulfed in flames, according to Torres.

The Riverside County coroner’s office arrived at the scene at around 4:50 a.m., and the two occupants of the vehicle were pronounced dead at the scene.

It was not immediately known whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the crash.

ave you receive your Middle Class Tax Refund from the state of California? If you still have not yet gotten your payment, you might be waiting until February to receive it. Overall, millions of

Californians are receiving inflation relief checks of up to $1,050, either as a direct deposit or a debit card.

Currently over 7.1 million debit cards and 9.4 million checks have been sent out, totaling over $9.06 billion dollars. (source) The grand total being sent out is only 9.5 billion dollars from the

state of California. So this means that approximately 440 million dollars will be sent out, which means that over 95% of all payments have been sent to California residents right now.

Originally, all payments were supposed to go out during the month of January. Now, the FTB is saying

all payments will go out by February. Debit card recipients whose address has changed since filing their 2020 tax return 01/30/2023 through 02/14/2023.

The FTB says direct deposits usually take three to five days to show up, and debit cards can take up to two weeks to arrive.

reat work by the Riverside County Sheriffs Department has led to the arrest of several documented criminal street gang members in the Coachella Valley.

The Violent Crime Gang Task Force tried to stop an SUV with 4 gang members in it around 3 in the afternoon on Wednesday January 25th 2023.

The vehicle was traveling on Clinton Street near Indio Boulevard.

The driver refused to stop, but crashed into a tree a short time later.

The suspect ran, but 2 of them were caught by depu-

ties.

One of the suspects dropped a pistol with an extended magazine that holds 33 rounds of ammo.

At a nearby home on Clinton Street, the SWAT Team confiscated an AR-15 short barrel rifle, multiple 30-round magazines, a 45 caliber pistol, methamphetamine and cash.

The suspects are all young.

19 year old Fernando Guadalupe Meza of Indio was arrested for Possession of Methamphetamine for Sales, Possession of a Short Barrel Rifle, Possession of Narcotics with a Loaded Firearm and Gang Member with a Firearm. A 17-yearold male juvenile was arrest-

Man arrested in attempted kidnapping of 12-year-old girl in Riverside County KTLA | CONTRIBUTED

A

man has been arrested for allegedly trying to kidnap a girl who was walking home from school in Riverside County.

The incident has left parents shaken and concerned for their children’s safety as the attempted kidnapping happened less than two miles away from two Moreno Valley schools.

The victim, a 12-yearold girl, was walking home from Sunnymead Middle School when the suspect approached her, according to the Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department.

The suspect has been identified as Arturo Ramirez Cisneros, 40, of Moreno Valley.

Students’ parents received an alarming notification warning of the attempted kidnapping, although details weren’t immediately clear.

“I found out online, basically through Instagram,” said Christina Valadez, a parent. “I was also told via email, but they were pretty vague.”

The message stated there was “an unknown vehicle that approached the student after school” and that the person had a “weapon-like object.”

It wasn’t until the sheriff ’s department released a full statement that parents learned the incident involved an armed man asking a 12-year-old girl to get inside his truck, a dark green Toyota Tacoma with tinted windows.

The attempted kidnapping happened on Jan. 18 near the area of Dracaea Avenue and Graham Street around 1:20 p.m., authorities said.

As the victim was walking home, Cisneros suddenly stopped his vehicle next to her.

“The truck pulls alongside her and starts speaking to her from inside, and yells out the window in Spanish while pointing a black handgun at her, [saying] ‘Get in the truck. I won’t hurt you,’” deputies said.

That’s when the girl ran across the street where two good Samaritans helped her contact authorities.

“It doesn’t surprise me but it’s very scary because in this day and age, you can never be too surprised about anything that happens in this world,” said a local resident.

“It was very scary for me,” said Sara Munson, a Sunnymead Middle School parent.

“There’s a lot happening in this area and this was kind of

the icing on the cake for me.”

Munson said following the attempted kidnapping, she pulled her 12-year-old son out of the Sunnymead Middle School for good.

“He has other issues as well, and this just solidified my concerns,” said Munson.

“I’d rather just have him safe at home, doing homeschool.”

Officials said the 12-yearold girl was unharmed during the attempted kidnapping.

The suspect was arrested and booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center for attempted kidnapping, authorities said.

Authorities believe there are additional victims and are asking anyone who recognizes Cisneros or experienced similar crimes in their community to contact Investigator Newman at dnewman@riversidesheriff. org or call the Moreno Valley Station at 951-486-6700.

milled about with others who had breached the Capitol.

He posted a social media message prior to joining the protest outside the Capitol that day, saying, "They are trying to steal the vote and will perfect and protect their fraudulent voting system when in power.''

Hernandez proceeded to the Senate Gallery, snapped a few selfies and exited the edifice 15 minutes later, according to prosecutors.

The defendant, like the other six Riverside County men charged with disrupt-

ing the Electoral College vote certification, was not accused of engaging in any act of violence against law enforcement officers during the breach.

He was the third defendant from Riverside County to enter a plea agreement with the government.

Last March, Kevin Strong, 46, of Wildomar, admitted a misdemeanor count of picketing in the Capitol Building. He was sentenced to 24 months' probation.

Last June, Rafael Valadez Jr., 43, of Indio, admitted the same offense in a plea agreement with prosecutors. He was sentenced in

October to 30 days behind bars.

Kinnison's attorney, Nic Cocis, told City News Service in July that he intends to put his client's case before a jury.

They're among roughly 950 individuals nationwide whom federal authorities allege entered the Capitol unlawfully.

SUSAN BECKETT | DWELLING PLACE CITY CHURCH

A

busy mom with 3 young children was out running errands one day. She had yet more errands on her to-do-list, but the natives were getting restless!

Then it hit her - the kids were hungry. She drove into Wendy’s and ordered 3 “fun meals” - she picked up the food and off she went. But almost immediately one of the kids began to cry, “There’s no burger in here!” So mom quickly did a u-ie, wheeled back to Wendy’s and marched inside with her incomplete “fun meal” in its Wendy’s bag. “My daughter didn’t get a burger when we came through the drivetru. Please put a burger in this bag.”

The gal behind the counter just stood there and stared. “Maybe you didn’t hear me,” the mom said more firmly. “I need one more burger, put it in the bad and hurry - I’ve got 3 hungry kids in the car.” Again, no response.

The mom’s patience was gone: “I said, I need another burger - put it in this bag RIGHT NOW!” Without saying a word, the gal at the counter reached back, got a burger and dropped it into the…

McDonald’s bag.

It’s amazing what can be accomplished when a clear sense of purpose sets in, isn’t it?! Sometimes though it takes something big to shock us into action. Mordecai in the Old Testament - Esther’s uncle - is a good case in point.

Long story very short, Esther became King Xerxes’ queen. The villain here - Haman - hated Queen Esther’s uncle Mordecai

because he refused to bow down to him. When Haman found out Mordecai was a Jew, he drew up a plot to not only kill him, but every Jewish person in Persia.

The Jewish people had different standards and culture - nothing anti-gov’t or immoral - the Jewish people just refused to do the things that everyone else was doing. It can be challenging living for God in a godless culture. *Think value of life issues, idolatry, entertainment, moral concerns, etc. There will be things that are off limits for us so we take a stand. That’s what Mordecai and Queen Esther did.

But Haman was filled with rage and that’s when he decided not just to take revenge on Mordecai, but on all Jews in the Persian empire. Haman convinced King Xerxes to sign an irrevocable decree that all Jews be killed - babies, children, mom’s & dad’s, grandparents everyone - upwards of 15 million people were to be murdered in a single day.

Planned genocide was now decreed legal. (Sound familiar?)

The property of the Jews would be given to those who killed them - a great incentive for murder, don’t you think?!

And once the decree was signed, the King and Haman sat down to drink, but the city “fell into confusion.” Even the Persians of the city were upset by this decree.

You may remember that Queen Esther took a stand and risked her life by approaching the King for an amendment to the decree.

It worked and the Jews could now at least defend themselves on the day set

SUSAN BECKETT | Courtesy Photo. for their extermination, which, of course, they did.

It’s recorded that more than 75,000 people lost their lives carrying out a bloody battle.

Resisting evil is challenging but necessary when there is Divine purpose in the stand. As Bonhoeffer wrote: “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

How often do we say nothing about our Savior or our beliefs?! We keep silent on discussions of right & wrong - truth & error. I love this smart quote

by Anthon St. Maarten: “Many seekers are stuck or lost because they believe their life calling must also be their career or occupation. Our true calling is a fulfillment of our original Divine purpose. And for most people this is seldom about their day job.” So - as another once said: Awake, Arise and Walk the Talk.

the area, the victim was able to escape and the suspect drove off with the stolen car,” the news release stated.

About 40 minutes later, reports of a person matching Legardy’s description, who was knocking on doors in the 5900 block of Meadowbrook Lane, came in.

When officers arrived at that location, they learned that the person matching the parolee’s description had been seen speaking to an elderly man who lives alone before “both disappeared abruptly.”

Police entered the elderly man’s home, discovered Legardy inside and

safely arrested him.

He had beaten the elderly victim, shoved him inside a closet and concealed him underneath a pile of clothing, authorities said.

The elderly man was taken to the hospital, treated for injuries to his upper body and head, and was released last weekend. The female victim did not sustain any physical injuries during the carjacking and kidnapping.

Robbery and homicide detectives, along with a forensics unit, assumed the investigation.

The weapon believed to have been used by the suspect was located at the home invasion location by an explosive and ordinance detection canine. It

was determined that the weapon was a “pellet gun resembling a Glock-style pistol,” detectives said.

Legardy, who was on parole for carjacking out of San Bernardino County, was booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center and faces charges of kidnapping, carjacking, home invasion robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and parole violation.

He is being held without bail.

California Holds Out As Western States Agree To Cut Colorado River Water Use State says it will release own plan as six others to dramatically cut water use from river stressed by drought and overuse THE GUARDIAN | CONTRIBUTED

S

ix western states that rely on water from the Colorado River have agreed on a model to dramatically cut water use in the basin, months after the federal government called for action and an initial deadline passed.

California – with the largest allocation of water from the river – is the lone holdout. Officials said the state would release its own plan.

The Colorado River and its tributaries pass through seven states and into Mexico, serving 40 million people and a $5bn-a-year agricultural industry. Some of the largest cities in the country, including Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas, two Mexican states, Native American tribes and others depend on the river, which has been severely stressed by drought, demand and overuse.

States missed a mid-Au-

gust deadline to heed the US Bureau of Reclamation’s call to propose ways to conserve 2m to 4m acre-feet of water. They regrouped to reach consensus by the end of January to fold into a larger proposal Reclamation has in the works.

Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming sent a letter on Monday to Reclamation, which operates the major dams in the river system, to outline an alternative that builds on existing guidelines, deepens water cuts and factors in water that is lost through evaporation and transportation.

Those states propose raising the levels where water reductions would be triggered at Lake Mead and Lake Powell, which are barometers of the river’s health. The model creates more of a protective buffer for both reservoirs – the largest built in the US. It also seeks to fix water accounting and ensure that any water the Lower Basin states inten-

emocratic lawmakers in California introduced a package of climate bills Monday aimed at holding corporations accountable for their greenhouse gas emissions.

The bills include legislation to require companies to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions to the public, ban the state’s public pension funds from investing in major fossil fuel companies, and create a group to analyze climate-caused financial risks for corporations. Similar efforts in prior sessions have failed to win enough support, but the Democratic lawmakers behind them say they’re hopeful for a different outcome this year.

The policy group California Environmental

Voters came out in support of the bills, saying the state has the opportunity to serve as a model for increasing transparency by companies regarding their emissions.

Last year, California Democrats passed bills focused on banning new oil and gas wells near homes and schools, establishing guidelines for capturing and storing carbon, and committing to expanding renewable energy sources. Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has pushed policies to wean the state off oil and gas within the next few decades, including by banning the sale of most new gas-powered cars by 2035 and ending the controversial practice of fracking.

U.S. corporations that bring in at least $1 billion in revenue and do business in California would have to annually report

tionally stored in Lake Mead is available for future use.

The modeling would result in about 2m acrefeet of cuts in the Lower Basin, with smaller reductions in the Upper Basin. Mexico and California are factored into the equations, but neither signed on to Monday’s letter.

John Entsminger, general manager of the Southern Nevada Water Authority, said all states have been negotiating in good faith. “I don’t view not having unanimity at one step in that process

to be a failure,” he said late on Monday. “I think all seven states are still committed to working together.”

California released a proposal last October to cut 400,000 acre-feet. An acre-foot is enough water to supply two to three US households for a year.

their greenhouse gas emissions to the public under a bill re-introduced

by Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat.

It fell one vote short of passing in the Assembly last year after passing in the Senate.

Wiener said he’s hopeful groups that opposed it last year will have a more open mind, adding that “our coalition is bigger

and stronger.”

“We know there are corporations that want to do the right thing, and we want to support them,” Wiener said at a news conference Monday.

Wiener said lawmakers previously worked with the California Chamber of Commerce, a group also known as CalCham-

Several new bills aimed at cracking down on crime in California were announced Monday.

The new bills will target suspects involved in crimes across the state including thefts and violent shootings. Videos of people committing crimes have been released on social media a number of times this year and politicians said those videos are proof that crime is on the rise.

“It cannot be denied that crime is out of control in California,” said James Gallagher, who represents the 3rd Assembly District in northern Sacramento Valley.

“We are seeing an increase in petty thefts and retail thefts, but also in violent assaults.”

At a news conference in Sacramento on Monday, a group of Re-

publicans as well as law enforcement officials, including several from Southern California, announced the bills.

One would increase the penalties for serial thieves and another would reinstate a mandatory 20-year minimum sentence for anyone convicted of using a firearm during a violent crime.

“Elected leaders care more about releasing criminals than protecting victims,” said Assemblyman Bill Essayli.

“This is wrong, it’s unethical, and frankly, immoral.”

Elected leaders pointed to the recent mass shootings across the state, also referencing the recent killings of two Riverside County sheriff ’s deputies.

Jurupa Man Who Joined U.S. Capitol Riot Sentenced CITY NEWS SERVICE | CONTRIBUTED

A 45-year-old man who was among seven people from Riverside County charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Monday to 18 months in federal prison.

Andrew Alan Hernandez of Jurupa Valley in September pleaded guilty to a charge of aiding and abetting in the obstruction of an official proceeding.

Hernandez admitted the felony count under a plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which agreed to drop five related charges in exchange for the admission.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington, D.C. certified the terms of the bargain and addi-

tionally ordered the defendant to spend 36 months on supervised release following his incarceration, as well as to pay $2,000 in restitution to the government.

Security surveillance camera images of Hernandez inside the Capitol Building on the day of the insurrection showed him carrying an American flag with a Go-Pro camera zip-tied to the pole.

The pictures, collected by the FBI and included in the indictment against the defendant, revealed he had entered the building via the East Rotunda Door, which was forced open, then milled about with others who had breached the Capitol.

OPINION

Thursday, February 02 - Wednesday, February 08, 2023

DEAR ABBY ADVICE Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

DEAR ABBY: I have two younger sisters. The middle one is my best friend (next to my husband). The youngest is a nightmare. She’s manipulative and nasty, and nothing is ever good enough for her. She’s a cancer survivor and no longer able to live by herself. My middle sister has been bending over backward to help her in significant ways (managing her insurance and finding a nursing home for her to live in), but neither of us will allow her to live with us. She is too destructive, controlling and toxic.

Our sister has now decided the nursing home isn’t good enough. She is talking about going to live with a friend in another state. The friend has tentatively agreed. My middle sister and I both believe her friend has no idea what she is letting herself in for, and that her life is going to be taken over by my youngest sister.

I believe the right thing for me to do would be to call the friend and warn her NOT to allow my youngest sister to come live with her, but that seems like a terrible thing to do to my youngest sister. What should I do?

- SISTER DRAMA IN THE WEST DEAR SISTER DRAMA: What you should do is stay out of it! Your sister has resumed control over her life. Bravo! Whether or not it pans out, the outcome will be her responsibility. If in the coming months her friend rolls up the welcome mat, the alternative for your sister will be the nursing facility. Period.

DEAR ABBY: My two siblings and I were raised by an abusive, alcoholic father. Predictably, it has adversely affected our mental health adversely. One sibling struggles with alcoholism and substance abuse. The other has a personality disorder and cannot maintain stable relationships. I cope with comparatively fewer severe issues, but I still must work hard to sustain a marriage and my career and raise healthy children. It isn’t easy.

My siblings’ issues have disrupted my emotional health and family life, which is why I keep them at a distance. Lately, they have expressed feeling abandoned.

Other family members call me selfish and say I’m obligated to help them because I’m “the successful one.” I do feel some guilt for not helping more, as we all survived the same toxic childhood. Yet, my emotional bandwidth is limited. Frankly, people with alcoholism and personality disorders are hard to be around, even if they are family. Is it selfish to prioritize my well-being by maintaining distance from my siblings?

- THEIR BROTHER DEAR BROTHER: Your first priority must be your emotional health. Next should be the well-being of your spouse and children and the career that enables you to provide for them. If maintaining some distance from these siblings is selfish, then call it “enlightened” selfishness. Help them to the extent you can, but do not allow yourself to be emotionally arm-twisted by other relatives who remain on the sidelines.

Never Too Late to Pray for America J.B. SHURK | CONTRIBUTOR

H

ave you ever been so beset by anguish, fear, or grief that you unconsciously dropped to your knees, interlocked your fingers, and began to pray? Even for people who never embraced religious faith, that instinct seems cemented deep in their souls.

When Damar Hamlin’s heart stopped beating and he lay motionless on the field during Monday Night Football’s matchup between the Bills and Bengals on January 2, the human instinct to reach for God became impossible to miss. Not only were the players of both teams falling to their knees with their hands clasped and lips quietly pleading for intercession, but also fans throughout Paycor Stadium could be seen on national television in deep and solemn prayer. It was soon clear that social media platforms had become inundated with emotional appeals directly to God, begging Him to intervene and save Hamlin’s life.

In a time of social division and disintegration, rampant immorality, and intentional cruelty, Hamlin’s collapse may have led to the first moment since the 9/11 terrorist attacks twenty years ago when so many Americans, united in common purpose, bowed their heads and prayed together. When it finally became clear a full week later that the young

player would not only live, but also most likely recover physically, Americans all over the country and from all walks of life knew they had witnessed something miraculous.

In this spiritually fallen world, where sin has been elevated above virtue and God’s blessings are routinely repudiated for the misplaced worship of evil things, weakened Americans damaged from decades of self-hatred and self-inflicted misery saw a man fall to the ground, and in remarkably selfless concern for someone they had never met, those same lost Americans threw away all the rot that clutters their minds and darkens their souls, reaching instead toward what they instinctually knew to be true. And in His mercy, God answered.

For those who have not fallen victim to the cold delusion that life is the meaningless result of deterministic events, random chaos, or Darwinian incrementalism already baked into the preordained physics of the cosmos, Hamlin’s ordeal was hauntingly familiar.

So many times over the course of human history, especially when all seems lost, simple and ordinary experiences have instead produced profound effects that echo through the ages. Sometimes a stranger’s unexpected act of kindness creates a ripple effect of generosity across space and time. In other moments, relatively

unknown, ordinary men speak from the heart at town hall forums, school board meetings, or community gatherings, and through their poignant yet often forgotten words, they plant the seeds for great movements of change. In this instance, a young athlete in the prime of his life suffered cardiac arrest before a nation of football fans, perhaps so that a nation in prayer could lift him back to his feet. Would it not be accurate to say that Damar Hamlin ended up spiritually healing Americans as much as their prayers helped physically heal him? God moves this world in the most mysterious ways.

Nations, like people, are only as healthy as they are morally sound. Those dedicated to principle and virtue foster civic strength that can withstand an onslaught from foreign foes.

Countries rooted in moral conviction are rarely vanquished, and when they do suffer defeat, they tend to rise again another day.

On the other hand, nations that cherish power over principle, mock the virtuous, and celebrate sin rot from within like a malignant cancer shredding the body politic, slowly and unnoticed. Immoral countries struggle to survive weak attacks because their people’s fortitude is hollowed and brittle — and when they go down, they do not get back up.

Where does this leave America?

Considering the outrageous corruption flowing from D.C.; the ever-growing and power-hungry federal Leviathan swallowing up Americans’ rights and liberties every day; and the once-unimaginable program of government indoctrination preaching outright racism, libertinism, and religious devotion to the State, it is entirely fair to say that evil has seeped much farther into America than most Americans would have once believed. When the nation’s political leader-

LIMITS OF CALIFORINA GUN LAWS

California Has More Than 100 Gun Laws.

Why Don’t They Stop More Mass Shootings?

SHAWN HUBLER AND AMY HARMON | CORRESPONDENT

alifornia bans guns for domestic violence offenders.

It bans them for people deemed a danger to others or themselves. There is a ban on large-capacity magazines, and a ban on noise-muffling silencers. Semiautomatic guns of the sort colloquially known as “assault weapons” are, famously, banned.

More than 100 gun laws — the most of any state — are on the books in California. They have saved lives, policymakers say: Californians have among the lowest rates of gun death in the United States.

Yet this month, those laws failed to stop the massacres of at least 19 people in back-to-back mass shootings. The tragedies in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay have confounded Americans who regard California as a best-case bastion of gun safety in a nation awash with firearms.

Inside the state, gun rights proponents say the shootings show that California’s strategy is a failure. Gun safety groups, meanwhile, have already begun mobilizing for more laws and better enforcement. As details emerge in the investigations, numerous shortcomings have been highlighted, even with California’s voluminous law.

For instance, the state’s regulatory net does not

necessarily force gun owners to relinquish weapons that were legal for them to buy in the past but now are banned.

California cannot remove guns from people who may have exhibited dangerous behavior, but aren’t properly flagged to courts or law enforcement. And the state must contend with the illegal gun trade, a river of unregistered “ghost” guns and the flow of firearms from neighboring states with less strict regulations.

More broadly, however, the shootings are offering a lesson in the limits of state power to stop American gun violence, even with the political will at all levels of the state government to do so. Recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions have thrown key California laws into question, and the most recent shootings themselves have highlighted the difficulty of using state law to balance safety and liberty.

“I don’t mean to sound forlorn, but I’ve been watching this for decades and I’m a gun control type guy, and I just see nothing coming out of it,” said Steve Wagstaffe, the district attorney in San Mateo County, where seven agricultural workers were fatally gunned down.

“California has had some good laws, but they’re not as good as they could be.”

The shooting in Monterey Park, in Southern California, left 11 people dead and eight wounded at a ballroom dance studio. Police said the sus-

Monterey Park, where a mass shooting this month left 11 people dead.

pect, 72-year-old Huu Can Tran, opened fire at a Lunar New Year party, then shot himself dead as officers approached the van in which he had fled.

Two days later, sheriff ’s deputies in Half Moon Bay arrested 66-year-old Zhao Chunli hours after an explosion of workplace violence at two plant nurseries.

Both accused gunmen had previous brushes with law enforcement.

Both appeared to have been in the throes of a mental health crisis. And both had highly regulated weapons that cannot be acquired legally in California without numerous safeguards. Yet both slipped through the overlapping public safety and health regulations that California imposes to mitigate the risk of gun death.

The weapon used by the gunman in Monterey Park — a Cobray M-11/9 semiautomatic pistol outfitted with a 30-round magazine and what appeared to be a homemade silencer wrapped in duct tape — is illegal to buy or sell in California. Manufactured

in the 1970s and 1980s, the gun is an illegal “assault weapon” under the state’s definition, with an apparently threaded barrel, an illegal suppressor and the ability to accept a detachable magazine.

Yet in 1999, authorities said, Mr. Tran purchased the weapon in Monterey Park. Sheriff Robert Luna of Los Angeles County did not specify how he acquired the gun, which licensed retailers stopped selling decades ago in California, but said it was not registered in the state.

The sale, manufacture and import of high-capacity magazines also have been generally banned in California since 2000.

But Mr. Tran’s might have been legal, gun rights experts say, if he bought it before it was outlawed or during a weeklong window in 2019.

The exception arose from a well-known critic of state gun laws, Judge Roger T. Benitez of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, a federal judge who once compared the

MASS SHOOTINGS from B2

AR-15 assault rifle, used in many mass shootings, to a Swiss army knife, in that both are “a perfect combination of home defense weapon and homeland defense equipment.”

Judge Benitez later stayed his own ruling, pending an appeal, that the state magazine ban violated the Second Amendment, but sales of large capacity magazines spiked in the state in the interim.

California also requires extensive background checks to prevent the sale of guns to people who might harm themselves and others. People with felony convictions are barred from gun ownership for life, and even certain misdemeanor convictions can mean a decadelong ban.

Sheriff Luna said Mr. Tran had been arrested in 1990 for unlawful possession of a firearm. It is unclear if he was ever convicted, and law enforcement officials are still examining how he was able to purchase his weapons. Gun law experts said California’s laws would not have prevented Mr. Tran from legally buying a gun if he

Thursday, February 02 - Wednesday, February 08, 2023 was not formally charged or convicted, or if he was convicted of a nonviolent misdemeanor and had completed his probation.

In Half Moon Bay, a former roommate of the accused gunman had in 2013 successfully sought a temporary restraining order, alleging that Mr. Zhao had threatened to kill him and tried to suffocate him. Yet Mr. Zhao told authorities the Ruger semiautomatic he had used in Half Moon Bay had been legally purchased two years ago in California. Mr. Wagstaffe said investigators were still looking into where and how he acquired the gun.

Restraining orders can disqualify a person from owning guns in California. But court records show the temporary order against Mr. Zhao was never made permanent, and it expired in July 2013.

California also has a “red flag” law that allows police, family members, employers, co-workers and others to petition a court for a gun violence restraining order to remove firearms from people who may be a threat to themselves or others. But those laws do not work if nobody uses them.

The number of gun violence restraining orders

issued in the state has risen to nearly 1,400 in 2021 from 85 in 2016. But that law is an underused resource, experts say.

A 2021 study by the Violence Prevention Research Program at the University of California, Davis, found that although gun violence restraining orders had been available in California for five years, two-thirds of the Californians surveyed had never heard of them.

Dr. Garen J. Wintemute, who directs the program, said many mass shooters signal their intentions in advance, or leave hints in their planning. At any point in time in California, he said, one in eight adults knows at least one person they believe is at risk of harming someone else or themselves, research shows.

One model may be the city of San Diego, where the city attorney, Mara Elliott, has requested more than a thousand gun violence restraining orders since 2017. This month, the city requested and won the removal of a gun from an individual who threatened to kill people at a local hospital.

“We look forward to working with policy makers to enact meaningful policies that protect jobs, encourage innovation and maintain growth,”

He posted a social media message prior to joining the protest outside the Capitol that day, saying, “They are trying to steal the vote and will perfect and protect their fraudulent voting system when in power.”

Hernandez proceeded to the Senate Gallery, snapped a few selfies and exited the edifice 15 minutes later, according to prosecutors.

determine how to eventually impose cuts.

By not signing on, California does not avoid that risk.

The US Bureau of Reclamation will consider the six states’ agreement as part of a larger proposal to revise how it operates Glen Canyon and Hoover Dams – behemoth power producers on the Colorado River. The reservoirs behind the dams – Lake Powell and Lake Mead – have reached historic lows amid a more than two-decade-long drought and climate change.

Without California’s

participation, the six states’ proposal can only go so far to meet the hydrological realities of the river. Water managers in the Lower Basin say the scale of conservation Reclamation is seeking cannot be met without California, tribes and farmers who draw directly from the Colorado River.

Also unclear is how much Mexico eventually will contribute to the savings. In the best water years, Mexico receives its full allocation of 1.5m acre-feet under a treaty reached with the US in 1944.

Barrera said.

Democratic Sen. Lena Gonzalez, of Long Beach, introduced a bill aimed at prohibiting the California Public Employees’ Retirement System and the California State Teachers’ Retirement System from investing in the largest fossil fuel companies, including oil, gas and coal producers. A similar bill last year passed in the Senate but didn’t get a hearing in the Assembly.

“I’m hopeful that this year with the new makeup of the Assembly, with more coalition and with more emphasis on this

crisis that we can actually get this done,” Gonzalez said.

Democratic Sen. Henry Stern, who represents part of Los Angeles County, introduced a bill that would create a group to review financial risks of climate change reported by companies.

He said the three bills will help the state support corporations committed to fighting climate change and hold accountable those that aren’t.

The Western States Petroleum Association declined to comment Monday.

He was the third defendant from Riverside County to enter a plea agreement with the government.

Last March, Kevin Strong, 46, of Wildomar, admitted a misdemeanor count of picketing in the Capitol Building. He was sentenced to 24 months’ probation.

Last June, Rafael Valadez Jr., 43, of Indio, admitted the same offense in a plea agreement with prosecutors. He was sen-

tenced in October to 30 days behind bars.

Derek Kinnison, 41, of Lake Elsinore, Felipe Antonio Martinez, 49, of Lake Elsinore, Ron Mele, 53, of Temecula, and Erik Scott Warner, 47, of Menifee, are awaiting disposition of their cases, which involve a mix of felony and misdemeanor allegations.

Kinnison’s attorney, Nic Cocis, told City News Service in July that he intends to put his client’s case before a jury.

They’re among roughly 950 individuals nationwide whom federal authorities allege entered the Capitol unlawfully.

enforcement, it’s probably nothing,’’’ Ms. Elliott said. “Now our community knows to make phone calls.’’

Acquaintances and court records painted the Monterey Park suspect, Mr. Tran, as an embittered, paranoid and divorced loner. In Hemet, Calif., where he lived, police said he came to the station two weeks before the shooting to complain, without evidence, that he was the victim of fraud and theft and that his family had previously tried to poison him.

In Half Moon Bay, Mr. Zhao told NBC Bay Area in a jailhouse interview that he “was not in his right mind” and had felt mistreated for years at his workplace.

Authorities confirmed a report that the accused gunman appeared to have snapped after a supervisor billed him $100 for a forklift accident.

But neither man appears to have alarmed anyone enough to seek a court order to take away their weapons. Neighbors and acquaintances said they did not know they were armed, suicidal or dangerous.

Victims of mass shootings make up about 1 percent of overall gun deaths in the United States, ac-

www.HSJChronicle.com cording to federal gun homicide data analyzed by the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety.

The risk of dying in a mass shooting is even lower in California, the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California recently found. Nationally, suicides account for just over half of all gun deaths.

But what mass casualty events lack in numbers, officials say, they often make up in fear and calls for political action. Last year, after mass shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas, California fast-tracked the passage of more than a dozen new gun laws.

Gun rights advocates say more laws miss the point: Only a lawfully armed citizenry can ultimately ensure safety.

Mass murders are already illegal, says Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California. “What do we want to do? Make them illegal-er?”

But Jesse Gabriel, a Los Angeles-area Democrat in the state Assembly who co-chairs a legislative working group on gun violence prevention, said the group has already moved up its February meeting to discuss new legislation.

Proposals include a state excise tax on ammu-

nition and guns, a measure to add three years to an existing ban on gun ownership for people who have had domestic violence orders filed against them, a proposal to make the possession of an unregistered “ghost” gun a felony and a bill to let people suffering a mental health crisis put their own names on a “do not sell” list. A campaign to expand awareness of gun violence restraining orders also is underway.

Also in the pipeline, he added, is a bill to align the state’s laws on permits to carry concealed weapons in public with a sweeping June Supreme Court ruling that upended gun control laws in at least a half-dozen states, including California. Applauded by gun rights groups, the decision has unleashed a barrage of court challenges to California gun laws, including the bans on assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines that are pending now before Judge Benitez.

Rob Bonta, the California attorney general, said the concealed carry revision is essential, as are tighter gun regulations.

“Is there something new that hasn’t been done?” Mr. Bonta said.

“That’s what we’re asking ourselves.”

ship considers churches and concerned parents more dangerous than the systemic sexualization, barbaric mutilation, and sterilization of children, then it is clear that twisted government authorities worship before the altar of false “woke” gods. When elected officials tell conspicuous lies about everything — Russia collusion, the J6 protests against vote fraud, the origins of COVID-19, the safety of COVID “vaccines,” America’s open borders, “green” energy–inflicted inflation — then it is undeniable that truth has been abandoned for the trashy allure of fabricated “narratives.” When the Intelligence Community spies on American citizens, government-backed news media embrace censorship and propaganda, and politicians enrich multinational companies at the expense of Americans’ livelihoods, then it is obvious that Americans’ foundations in liberty and self-government have been cheaply squandered to fill the pockets of self-aggrandizing officeholders beholden to their corporate masters’ bottom line. If America someday falls, it will be because its politicians and bureaucrats mocked families, browbeat parents, ridiculed religious faith, condemned men of character, and celebrated every kind

Overall, violent crime rose just about 2% between 2017 and 2021.

The homicide rate soared, jumping about 40% in the same period.

“Crime is out of control in California and we are here with representatives

from our law enforcement community to send one simple message that everyone, no matter where they live or who they are, deserve to feel safe in their community,” Gallagher said.

The future of this Republican-sponsored legislation is unclear as Democrats hold the supermajorities in both houses of the state legislature.

of sin.

Then there are the American people. At first blush, it might be easy to say that they are no better than the government they have allowed to represent them. “The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness,” George Orwell warned, and yet, “for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.” The American government has spent over a century expanding the welfare State into the biggest Pez dispenser in the world, providing “cradle to grave” welfare in exchange for simply handing government agents complete control over one’s life. “Sign the dotted line there,” the Marxist-socialists tell unsuspecting Americans, “and you will officially become a ward of the State.” Most who sign fail to read the fine print empowering authorities to replace personal faith with their State religion, free speech with their “politically correct” version, and individual liberty with their constant surveillance. As with all bargains with the Devil, the government always gets your soul in the end.

Is America now a population of terminally lost souls, then? Perhaps. And yet, when Damar Hamlin went down, Americans did not pray to government. They did not pray at the altars of racism, division, COVID-1984, global warming, or any other government totem used to instill fear. They bowed

their heads, clasped their hands, and prayed to God Almighty.

Even while surrounded by a morally decrepit culture that ridicules virtue and exalts sin, the American people still know instinctually that in the battle between good and evil, only God will do.

That might not seem like much, but it is a foothold — and a foothold is all we need.

The question is sometimes asked, “When is it necessary to give in to overwhelming odds, abandon hope, and accept defeat?” The simple answer is “never.” In no contest between good and evil, no matter how weary the righteous feel or how indefatigable the wicked behave, can any moral warrior who understands the stakes allow despair to drown hope.

Despair is a weight that the Devil is only too happy to place around your neck; hope is the most genuine kind of life raft that keeps the soul afloat. When people under constant attack refuse to languish and instead find within themselves the courage to carry on, many others inclined to wither find inspiration to continue, too.

Faith and courage spread like wildfire when individuals of conviction stand bravely and unafraid.

Change happens quickly. Seemingly small events leave deep impressions.

You never know whom God might use to accomplish great things. So be ready. It could be you.

he Hemet/San Jacinto Student of the Month program held its most recent recognition breakfast at the Maze Stone at Soboba Springs Golf Course, Jan. 19. Seven local high school seniors were recognized and honored for their character, love of learning and commitment to academics in addition to their involvement in school and community activities and their ability to overcome difficult life challenges. And they do this all in a setting that honors God, America, family, community and free enterprise. Students are nominated by teachers or other school personnel for making a difference in their homes, schools and communities.

Program founder and event facilitator Karena Zermeno also represents one of the sponsors, Altura Credit Union. Backpacks filled with gifts, a Student of the Month award, certificates of recognition and much more were donated by the program’s sponsors to the award recipients. Each student was invited to the podium to share their personal story, past challenges and future goals with a room full of supporters that included principals, teachers, peers and family members, as

well as community and school district dignitaries.

January’s students of the month from Hemet Unified School District schools are Valerie Barajas, Valerie Flores, Angelise Jones, Isabelle Lee and Kaylee Lopez. San Jacinto Unified’s honorees for January are Emily Gates and Grace Truslow.

Hemet Unified School District Valerie Barajas Tahquitz High School’s band director Jeremy Pietsch nominated Valerie for being an outstanding student during the four years he has known her.

She takes Advanced Placement and dual enrollment college courses and is one of his strongest musicians.

He said she earns the highest place at all festivals the band performs at. As first chair in clarinet last year she participated in virtual concerts and was part of the first jazz album ever produced by the Tahquitz Titan musicians. Valerie is lead saxophone in jazz band this year. She plans to become an elementary school teacher. She has played clarinet for six years and alto sax for three. She wants to attend Mt. San Jacinto Community College before transferring to a University of California school. Valerie said, “A life lesson I plan to carry with me on my

journey after high school is to focus on present moments and to not worry about things I cannot control.”

be a highlight in the life of people, leaving a positive impression and fond memory for them to carry through their day.”

Valerie Flores The Academy of Innovation’s top choice this month is independent study student Valerie.

Nominating teacher Linda Olsen described her as an excellent example of self-discipline as she utilizes the fully online option of study. Valerie said one of her greatest contributions to her community has been supporting the Ramona Bowl. She has been involved with the Summer Youth Theater productions, which benefit the nonprofit amphitheater association. She plans to attend California State University, Channel Islands in Camarillo but is undecided about a major or career. “I am interested in the idea of art and see myself likely being associated with it,” Valerie said. Virtual learning has been a good fit for her as she has worked hard to overcome serious sleep problems. Her mother Marie said her daughter is very creative and has a vivid imagination and has been illustrating and writing books and short stories since she was six years old. Valerie said, “A significant life lesson I’ve learned is to rely on myself and trust myself. I want to

Angelise Jones West Valley High School singled out Angelise for being a dynamic student who has been singing for the past 13 years. She performed in musical theater at the school for the first time last year, the dance team this year, is part of the Tech Theater team, is a choir member and a Thespian officer for drama.

Her nominating teacher Cheri Kehler, who teaches drama and dance, said, “It’s unbelievable that one person can accomplish all these things in one day and Angelise does this with grace and confidence and humility.” Angelise said experiencing bullying and racism while in middle school caused her to become anxious and paranoid and it wasn’t until her junior year of high school when she joined drama that she finally found somewhere she felt like she belonged. She wants to earn her bachelor’s degree in fine arts and return to West Valley. She said her journey has taught her that, “you don’t always have to do things just to satisfy others; sometimes you just need to roll with the punches, pick yourself

Storms showed failure of California programs to assist the homeless

JZ8Y).

The video shows homeless individuals huddled in sleeping bags with water lapping at them. It shows people huddled under soaked blankets and in barely covered alcoves leading to building entrances. Most of all, it shows that in one city with a budget of tens of millions for “homeless services,” no one served the unhoused when they needed it most. The official death toll among California’s more than 172,000 homeless was just two, both killed by branches that the storms knocked off trees and into their tents.

No one knows how many more might perish from aftereffects of extreme exposure to cold and wet conditions. Many Californians write off the state’s homeless as some kind of human detritus

T

he spate of heavy rainstorms that swept across California during January’s early weeks exposed a lot of problems: weak bridges, inadequate reservoir capacity, poor drainage on many city streets and helplessness in the face of inevitable mudslides, to name just a few.

The rains revealed nothing more starkly than the failure so far of California’s many programs to help most of the homeless, a failure that exposed how useless most of the more than $11 billion allocated for homeless aid over the last year has been. One video, shot in the stormy early morning hours of Jan. 5, says a lot about this (you can see it on YouTube at youtu.be/xBuOZEx-

because many are mentally ill or suffer post-traumatic stress disorder and are often not very functional.

That doesn’t matter, as no one deserves the misery inflicted on the homeless this winter.

Some of California’s most prominent and powerful politicians often say they recognize this. New Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, whose city has more than 56,000 homeless residents, declared a state of emergency over their situation on her first day in office last month. She wants to humanely eliminate some tent cities, but so far has moved only a few dozen people indoors.

Gov. Gavin Newsom put more than $10 billion for homeless services into the current state budget and billions more into his

Vivanco said many of the students have been able to pick up on their letter sounds, which is the skill that was hardest to recoup after the pandemic forced children into virtual learning. She said compared to

She said there are still some challenges with attendance and social skills, but they are working through all that and she feels by the end of the school year, the students will all be where they need to be to head off to first grade.

“By graduation, they need to have mastered letters and their sounds, numbers, sight words and other things that most are

Isabelle Lee Hamilton High School selected Isabelle for being a very kind, goal-oriented, natural leader. Diana Welty said Isabelle is one of the few students who stepped up to help her when she took over as ASB director and is consistently at every event. Isabelle said moving to California from Minnesota five years ago was a huge culture shock for her. She had attended an all-Hmong school in the past and was the only Asian student when she began attending Hamilton. She said she felt alone and scared but the students were very welcoming and her teachers motivated her to step out of her shell and pushed her to be who she is today. She does a lot of volunteering, especially after school, saying ASB allows her to connect with From the Heart, a nonprofit in Anza. Isabelle said, “My parents are my constant support and will always be there for me no matter how far I go from the nest.” The generosity and kindness she has received from others has motivated

Kaylee Lopez Hemet High School’s Kaylee was introduced by Assistant Principal Zach Taylor as an amazing artist. “I’m really proud and honored to be working in this community but I’m even more proud and honored to present Kaylee today.” Her art teacher Kari Howell said, “How do you talk about someone who is extraordinary? How do you talk about someone who faces adversity head on and keeps going? It is rare to see anyone at any age emerge from aspects of their lives that would normally crumble a person but instead they rise above it and they thrive.

It is rare to see someone so young have strength and conviction and to be an advocate for those who are in need and for those who cannot advocate for themselves. She uses her creativity in art to harness the attributes of the Victorian-era style detail and she meshes it with a really amazing modern Gothic edge.” Kaylee said one of her driving motivations since she was very young was to be creative and

expressive. “Creating art doesn’t just allow me to become a better artist, but to raise my own self-esteem and to continue to impress myself with my skills,” she said. “I’ve always felt it was important to stay true to my creative passions rather than to acclimate to social norms and traditions. I’m an advocate for disability awareness.

My little brother Jacob was diagnosed with autism at the age of three.

It is crucial that everyone is treated with dignity and respect and our lives should be centered around unity and compassion for others. Growing up with an emotionally and physically absent father put the weight of parenting on my mom. She encouraged me to be myself and celebrate my uniqueness and go above and beyond when it came to my academic career.” Kaylee plans to attend Riverside Community College in the fall and pursue a career in cosmetology.

Apola Greek Grill To Celebrate New Riverside Location RESTAURANTNEWS.COM | CONTRIBUTED

póla Greek Grill’s newest location opened in time to tend to guests’ needs in Riverside for the holiday season.

Now that the holiday hustle and bustle has passed, the budding fast-casual brand is ready to host a grand opening celebration to showcase its restaurant inside the Galleria at Tyler shopping center. The party is set for 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, within the mall food court.

The festivities will include a ribbon cutting featuring Riverside Mayor Patricia Dawson, city officials, members of the Riverside Chamber of Commerce and Franchisee Majid Zahedi. Zahedi opened the first franchised Apola in December of 2022 and brings more than 30 years of experience as a restaurant owner and operator.

“Majid was the perfect person to open this location, especially during the holidays, because of his connection to the community,” said Apola Co-Founder Stefano Kosmides. “The mall traffic has been incredible, and we’ve found many people in Riverside eager to try the best Greek food in Southern California. We welcome everyone to come, grab a gyro and celebrate our grand opening with us on Feb. 2!”

Fans attending can expect

multiple opportunities to win FREE Apola-branded gear, gift cards and Greek food.

Special grand-opening promotions will also be available to all guests and discounts are available to mall employees.

Apola’s fans flock in for the Authentic Greek Gyro, but the restaurant offers something for everyone with a variety of options. Guests can try numerous proteins like chicken, pork, beef and lamb gyro as well as grilled shrimp skewers and grilled chicken souvlaki that can be combined with a variety of spreads from the original tzatziki to a distinctive spicy hummus. All sandwiches and entrees are customizable, and most proteins are halal-certified meats.

Vegetarians and vegans will be happy to find traditional Greek staples like dolmas, falafel and Greek salad on the menu. Apola also offers their own meatless gyro option that brings the flavor

of the Greek street food favorite with a vegetarian zing – all offered via counter service inside the mall.

The Galleria at Tyler location will operate much like Apola’s other brickand-mortar restaurants, offering catering services as well as online ordering and third-party delivery. The restaurant will serve guests during the mall’s regular operating hours Monday through Sunday, but opens an hour early for mall employees and anyone else looking to get a quick breakfast. Curbside pick-up will be available in the Galleria at Tyler Curbside Parking area later this year.

Apola Greek Grill has been featured in locally in The Los Angeles Herald and California Telegraph, and on the lifestyle TV show “This is LA.” The emerging restaurant was ranked 5th in Fast Casual’s “Brands to Watch” in 2021.

Emily’s time at the podium by saying, “It’s our goal to teach students the Air Force core values of integrity first, service before self and excellence in all we do, to develop citizens of character, dedicated to serving our nation and community. Only a select few, like Emily, will rise to the top because they internalize those values and turn them into actions.”

Emily said that while all three core values are equally important, it is the second one that has resonated with her the most.

“Since the beginning of my Jr.ROTC career, service before self has been at the forefront of who I am as a commander because I believe that in order for my unit to succeed, it needs a leader that’s willing to set personal matters aside and take the time to be there, listen attentively and take action.” Emily plans to attend a private military college in Vermont where she will major in criminology before commissioning into the Air Force as an officer.

next planned budget. California has more homeless people today than when the 2022-23 budget passed and far fewer shelter beds than before the coronavirus pandemic.

One thing you can safely bet: No executive heading any of the more than 50 state and local government programs for which big money is ticketed slept in the rain Jan. 5. One state report indicates this year’s $10 billion allocation is a pittance compared to what it will cost to house all the currently homeless. That assessment held that it will take more than 30 times as much, or $300 billion.

This sum could house many thousands, but there is no sign even that much money can end the problem. At today’s reported

I’m already so impressed with her,” she said, adding that Grace is spearheading an art project at the alternative high school and has joined ASB. She recently shared a butterfly tattoo she had gotten on the back of her neck with her teacher who said she found some quotes about butterflies that made her realize that Grace could not have made a better choice. “The butterfly is a beacon of light and hope that comforts and inspires us as we navigate through the complex mix of trials and triumphs that unfold in all of our lives. Just as the butterfly has to undergo different development stages to come out stronger and more beautiful than ever, you too must accept change and lose the parts of yourself that hold you back.” Grace feels her most significant contribution to her school and home has been her creative mind and inquisitiveness. She plans to attend a two-year college and then enlist in the military. She said she has gone through a lot this past year, starting with her and her younger sister being placed into the foster care system. “Although it’s been rough, I’m proud of myself for pushing through. Even though it’s been rough losing friends and family, average cost of more than $830,000 per one-bedroom apartment, it would pay for less than 3,600 new one-bedroom units, far from enough to permanently shelter even most of today’s homeless. Yet use of hotels and motels bought up by state and local governments as temporary and permanent quarters for the unhoused did not solve the problem.

Here’s an idea not yet in the anti-homelessness portfolio: Use part of the huge government allocations to buy or lease some of the hundreds of millions of square feet of vacant office and commercial space that now dogs many California property owners, the result of changes in working conditions for white collar workers. Studies indicate about one-third of the state’s former office workers will now likely operate permanently from their

I plan on making the best of the situation and the opportunities given me,” Grace said. “If there’s anything I’ve learned through the hardships, it’s that despite your shortcomings and disadvantages in life, if you keep pushing through, the end result will be worthwhile.”

Closing remarks Zermeno asked all the honored students to stand and be applauded once more. “Know that your challenges have formed the amazing human beings you are today,” she told them. Hemet Unified School District Director of Secondary Education Nereyda Gonzalez said a recent school holiday honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “who inspired us to live in service to others. The students we heard from today are living that every day. One of my favorite quotes from Dr. King is ‘darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.’ So, students, thank you for being the light that has inspired us today.”

So far, California has seen only about 11,000 conversions to residential units permitted from that vast space, makeovers state law now says can go forward without zoning changes.

How about using some of the billions allocated to homelessness for this? It would allow far more units and take much less time than new construction.

Just as it’s time for a complete rethink of the overall housing crisis, where state officials announce new and different need estimates every few months, it’s also time for this kind of fresh thinking about housing the homeless. While no one knows when or where the next big chain of storms may strike hardest, it’s impossible to overstate the misery they’ll cause if California continues hosting as many unhoused individuals as it now does.

What has California’s flooding (and drought) got to do with climate change?

TOM CLYBES| EDF.ORG

F

or the past several years, Californians have been desperate for rain to quench the state’s worst dry spell in at least 1,200 years. Scorching temperatures have shriveled crops and drained reservoirs, triggered power outages and led to wildfires that destroyed communities and burned millions of acres of forests.

On New Year’s Eve 2022, the water that Californians had wished for finally arrived, but it wasn’t the blessing they’d hoped for. For three weeks, an onslaught of atmospheric rivers — plumes of tropical moisture — coming in from the Pacific Ocean battered much of the state with torrential rain and heavy snow. The runoff overflowed riverbanks and surged through towns, pulling down droughtstressed trees and dissolv-

ing parched mountainsides into avalanches of mud.

The storms left at least 21 people dead — many of them carried away by flash flooding.

“Cycles of drought and rainfall are characteristic of California’s climate. But human-caused climate change has made these events more intense and severe,” says climate scientist Shradda Dhungel, of the Environmental Defense Fund. “Rising summer temperatures make the soil and vegetation drier, increasing the chance of drought and wildfires.

Then in the winter, when California gets most of its precipitation, warmer air with massive amounts of moisture unleashes these big storms that are wetter and more intense. Because of these two sets of conditions, it’s possible to have more intense droughts and more intense storms and flooding.”

The link between extreme weather and climate change An emerging body of research known as attribution science is focused on determining to what extent the growing intensity and frequency of severe weather can be directly attributed to climate change.

According to the Center for Climate Sciences at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with every 1.8 degF (1 degC) increase in sea surface temperatures, the number of extreme storms has risen by about 21%. If climate model projections hold true, extreme storms may increase 60% by century’s end.

Likewise, the blistering heat and persistent drought in recent years reflects the increase in temperatures brought on by the growing concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. In southwestern North America,

about 19% of the severe 2021 drought, and 42% of the extended drought in the 21st century, can be attributed to human-caused climate change, according to a study published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

When it rains, it pours Just three months before the latest wild weather hit, researchers at the Climate and Global Dynamics Laboratory at the National Center for Atmospheric Research released a study warning that climate warming has already doubled the risk of a weeks-long extreme storm sequence capable of producing a California mega-flood.

“This is not something that is in the far tail of unlikely probability,” said co-author Daniel Swain, in a briefing about the findings. “This is something that is very plausible and

CLIMATE CHAMGE: Extreme weather in California has caused severe flooding. | Courtesy Photo of Noah Berger/Associated Press very well could happen sooner, rather than later.”

With each one degC increase in temperature, the air holds 7% more moisture. So further warming “will increase that risk even more,” says Swain, “potentially resulting in a tripling or even quadrupling of that risk relative to what it would have been about a century ago.”

Does the flooding in California mean the drought

is over?

The snowpack in California’s Sierra Nevada is crucial to the state’s water balance. Spring runoff tops up reservoirs and can be captured for drinking, irrigation and power generation. With higher temperatures, though, more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, and the snowpack melts sooner

Inland Empire home to third ‘SCOTUS bait’: Legal battle dirtiest city in America over California waiver begins One Inland Empire community cracked the top five on LawnStarter’s list of the dirtiest cities in America of 2023​.

he Inland Empire is home to the third-dirtiest city in America, according to a recent study.

San Bernardino ranked third on LawnStarter’s 2023 list, a downgrade from fourth, with the worst rankings in the country for the categories of pollution and consumer satisfaction. Houston was ranked the dirtiest city nationwide, with Newark as the runner-up.

“For the second year in a row, San Bernardino has the most dissatisfied residents when it comes to the cleanliness of their city,” according to LawnStarter.

“Other cities in the region fared better overall, but some weren’t far off in consumer satisfaction.”

Ontario had an overall ranking of 14th, but came in eighth for pollution, according to the study. Fontana was ranked 30th and Riverside was 47th.

Rancho Cucamonga was an outlier, at 99th.

The city of Los Angeles didn’t fare too well either, coming in at 15th dirtiest

overall, while San Diego and Orange counties landed in the middle of the pack.

Faring far better was the Bay Area. Sunnyvale was the second-least dirty city ranked, at 151st. San Francisco was 97th.

The study compared over 150 of the biggest U.S. cities across four categories: pollution, living conditions, infrastructure and consumer satisfaction. LawnStarter gathered public data on factors such as median air quality index, greenhouse gas emissions, the share of homes with signs of mice or rats, the number of un-

sheltered unhoused people per 1,000 residents, and tons of landfill waste per 100,000 residents.

To determine the rankings, LawnStarter calculated weighted scores for each city in each category and averaged the scores.

“These problems are unsightly, but they’re more harmful than we might realize,” LawnStarter reported. “Air pollution, for instance, worsens lung cancer and increases our chances of heart disease and stroke.”

Historically home to some of the nation’s worst air quality, California has for 50 years set pollution requirements stricter than those imposed by the federal government.

But 17 Republican-led states have challenged that authority, arguing EPA violated the Constitution and states’ sovereign rights by granting California a Clean Air Act waiver allowing the Golden State to tackle planet-warming emissions on its own (E&E News PM, May 13, 2022).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is scheduled to hear oral arguments on California’s waiver in September.

Environmental attorneys say the case could eventually land at the Supreme Court amid a conservative push to challenge the

limits of the executive branch.

“A colleague often refers to these types of issues as SCOTUS bait,” said Jonathan Brightbill, a partner at Winston & Strawn LLP, during a recent Federalist Society webinar.

The state sovereignty discussion could serve as the vehicle that grabs the interest of the high court, which rejects most cases that come its way, said Brightbill, who served as principal deputy assistant attorney general of the Justice Department’s environment division during the Trump administration.

California’s waiver was revoked — for the first time ever — under former President Donald Trump, with EPA citing a need for national uniformity. The Biden administration restored the waiver in March, calling it an important part of the broader effort to tackle climate change.

A Supreme Court showdown over California’s Clean Air Act waiver could build on the justices’ blockbuster climate ruling in West Virginia v.

EPA. In the June 2022 decision, the justices applied

a legal theory championed by conservatives to find that EPA under former President Barack Obama had overstepped by crafting a rule that required power plants to shift from coal to renewable energy sources. The “major questions” doctrine states that Congress must speak clearly in order to authorize agencies to regulate matters of “vast economic and political significance.”

“In the wake of their success in the Supreme Court in West Virginia and the recognition of the long-simmering, but now recognized, major questions doctrine, the collection of states has returned to see if they can make more law to further restrain the administrative state,” Brightbill said.

He noted Ohio and other states opposing the Clean Air Act waiver had introduced a “parade of horribles” that could result from upholding California’s authority. For example, the red states have said, Congress could allow some states, but not others, to boycott Israel.

Or it could pass legislation that allowed one state to enact and enforce

CASE NO. PRMC2300056 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: WILLIAM HOULE A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed

by REBECCA MCMENAMY in the Superior Court of California, County of RIVERSIDE. The Petition for Probate requests that REBECCA MCMENAMY be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on 04/04/2023 at 08:30 A.M. in Dept. T1 located at 41002 COUNTY CENTER DRIVE, #100 TEMECULA, CA 92591.

If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

The undersigned Trustee, or predecessor Trustee, has caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located and more than three months have elapsed since such recordation. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (916) 939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-00113. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-00113 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT if the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Further, if the foreclosure sale is set aside for any reason, the purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid and shall have no further recourse or remedy against the Mortgagor, Mortgagee, or Trustee herein. If you have previously been discharged in bankruptcy, you may have been release of personal liability for this loan in which case this notice is intended to exercise the note holder’s rights against the real property only. As required by law, you are notified that a negative credit reporting may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation. For Trustee’s Sale dates, bid and postponement information, please call (916) 939-0772 or visit www.nationwideposting.com. For any other inquiries, including litigation or bankruptcy matters, please call or fax to (877) 770-2132.

“These storms are more of a relief than a reversal of the current, multiyear drought in California,” says EDF’s Dhungel.

City Council select Jacob Green & Associates as their headhunter?

6. How much were Jacob Green & Associates paid for their search for the City Manager?

These are only part of

the queries I’ve received.

To say the least, the process was highly irregular.

Perhaps there was a reason.

People seem to think that newspapers have all the answers. When they

doubt their politicians they look to the press to find answers. We dig hard but still depend upon others for much of our research as we get our stories ready for our deadlines.

Nothing about the selection of any city official should be hidden or secret. The Hemet City Council is often accused by their opponents and just ordinary people of hiding things. We hope

the Hemet City Council will reveal the whole story about the selection of our new City Manager.

temperatures in the spring and summer months could trigger an earlier thaw season and more rapid melting. And we don’t have a sense of what the next months will hold. If there’s a rapid increase in temperature, then the snowpack could melt too fast to replenish the aquifers.”

fornia’s recent storms is expected to exceed $1 billion.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. experienced 18 billion-dollar climate and weather disasters in 2022, resulting in the loss of 474 lives. Last year marked the eighth consecutive year in which the country experienced 10 or more climate and weather events with losses exceeding $1 billion.

Dhungel and other ex-

perts say the state needs to better prepare for episodes of too much water, even as it strives to make do with too little. “The infrastructure we have in place is from the 20th century, built for the needs of 20 million people and fewer extreme cases of drought and deluge,” says Dhungel.

“Now there are almost 40 million people and more intense extreme events, and the infrastructure hasn’t kept pace.”

California is planning to build its capacity to harvest storm water over the next several years, and the state has earmarked $54 billion to fight climate change, reduce pollution and support clean energy — although Gov. Gavin Newsom recently announced cuts to some climate change programs to help reduce a projected $22.5-billion budget deficit.

Other programs are aimed at reducing water

use. The state awarded $40 million in grants to help landowners begin to transition up to 1 million acres of irrigated farmland to habitat for wildlife, recreational spaces and other uses that require less water. The grants are part of California’s new land repurposing program, which was modeled after EDF-sponsored legislation in the state. EDF will colead the implementation of the program.

teen states and the District of Columbia now follow California’s tougher rules, representing nearly 40 percent of the national auto market. California itself is the largest economy in the country and fifth globally.

California’s waiver has allowed the state to enact a package of regulations called the Advanced Clean Cars Program, which was first passed in 2012 and included a mandate for automakers to sell an increasing number of zero-emission vehicles in the state. In August, the California Air Resources Board banned the sale of new gas-fueled passenger vehicles after 2035 in a rule called Advanced Clean Cars II. EPA has argued that the red states have no standing to bring their case because they’ve shown no harm.

“The relief they seek — lifting the waiver of preemption for California — would only deprive them of the power they presently have to adopt California’s standards into their own laws,” Todd

Kim, head of DOJ’s Environment and Natural Resources Division, told the D.C. Circuit on Jan. 13.

“As a result, they would have less sovereign power than they have presently.”

Percival said the waiver protects California’s sovereignty because the smog-choked state was the only one that had its own auto emissions standards when the Clean Air Act was enacted.

Beyond issues such as bankruptcy and naturalization, Percival said, the Constitution has few “explicit guarantees of equal treatment among states.”

dependent on the industry.”

They warned that the program, which they said is part of a Biden administration effort to “drastically reduce or even eliminate” internal combustion engine vehicles, poses a “clear and present danger to the oil and gas industry’s, the states’, and the nation’s prosperity and survival.”

The groups — the Texas Oil & Gas Association, Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association and Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma — said the rule would decrease demand for gasoline for nearly half of the new vehicle market, imposing a “direct catastrophic impact” on their states, “as well as on the national economy.”

Health groups, including the American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, also weighed in, saying that California’s ability to set its own regulations is “essential to protecting the state’s public health, particularly in a warming world.”

Five of the world’s largest automakers also defended EPA’s decision to grant California the right to set strict tailpipe emissions, saying in their amicus brief that upholding the decades-old waiver would “promote stability and regulatory certainty while the industry goes electric.”

And a group of administrative law professors, including George Washington University environmental law professor Robert Glicksman, wrote that the “text, structure, and history of the Clean Air Act show that Congress intended a waiver, once granted, to become settled law on which states and private parties could rely.”

The law professors called the Trump administration’s effort to revoke the waiver “unprecedented” and said the attempt had relied on an “expansive conception of its own ‘inherent authority.’”

They added that it was “doubtful that this doctrine can be reconciled with Supreme Court precedent.”
