Anza residents speak out on Caltrans Highway 371 plans Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Almost every hand went up in the Community Hall of the 100 attending when asked if they wanted to see striped center median turn lanes on Highway 371 in Anza Village from one end of town to the other Aug. 10. Not too likely, but something to consider suggested Caltrans officials at the Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Council meeting in Anza to answer questions about why they were putting a $520,000 left turn lane project at Bahram and Highway 371. The project will resume this week. AVMAC, a community advisory group appointed by the 3rd District Riverside County Supervisor, called Caltrans to answer their reasons for building the project at Bahram when an even more dangerous intersection needs left turn lanes in both directions on Highway 371 at the Cahuilla Indian Casino five miles south of town.

Anza local Dr. Karen Donley wins the 2016 Tevis Cup with her Arabian mare ‘Royal Patron’ Jodi Thomas JTHOMAS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The day Dr. Karen Donley decided to check out an online advertisement for sale was the day that changed her life. That decision led to something that is seemly impossible in the equine sports world, winning the Tevis Cup. Once her home was down in the desert, but soon after the purchase of Royal Patron – who once graced a race track – from Barbara Freddy of Aguanga, her friend and riding companion, the Donley’s moved to Mountain Center where there are miles of trials. The easy access to trails makes the 50 mile per horse she rides a week devoted to training more feasible. That is 50 miles per horse, hers and the one her son JJ, now 18, rides in competition with her. “More people have climbed Mount Everest
