Cash-poor goes burgling
BY BECKY CLARK
EDITOR
A
burglar or burglars busted into
two businesses on
North Circle Drive either
Sunday night or Monday
morning searching only for
cash about three weeks after similar incidents at two
other North Circle Drive
locations.
Lori Parker, owner of Florist in the Forest, discovered someone
had forced their way into
her shop but nothing was
missing after she arrived
there Monday morning.
In the front of the
building, a bookcase had
been moved, clothes were
knocked over and a lattice
nailed to a wall was pried
back. When that yielded only a wall, the perpetrator apparently tried to
enter through a side area
padlocked from the inside.
That yielded a little more
success as the person or
persons then made their
way through an outside
store area only to discover
another formidable barrier
to the inside.
Rather than give up,
the burglar pried at a sliding-glass door frame until accessing the lock, then
made their way to the inside front, saw that the
cash register was open
and the till was empty,
slammed the cash register drawer closed, then
knocked over some Native
American jewelry and left.
“They worked really hard to get in and they
have nothing to show for
it,” said Parker, laughing.

New law requires 3 feet for
bicyclists on state roads
T
he California Department of Motor
Vehicles is alerting
drivers about a new law
requiring them to give bicyclists, traveling in the
same direction, 3 feet of
clearance when passing.
The Three Feet for Safety
Act takes effect Sept. 16
According to the new
law (AB1371), which Gov.
Edmund G. Brown, Jr.
signed a year ago on Sept.
23, 2013, if traffic or roadway conditions prevent
motorists from giving cyclists 3 feet of space, drivers must “slow to a speed
that is reasonable and prudent” and only pass when
a cyclist will not be in danger. Violations are punishable by a $35 fine.
Motorists who collide
with cyclists and injure
them while violating the
Three Feet for Safety Act
can be subject to a $220
fine. Under the previous
law, a vehicle was simply
required to pass to the left
at a “safe distance.”
Bicycle riders on public
roads have the same rights
and responsibilities as motorists, and are subject to
the same rules and regu-
lations. Refer to the California Driver Handbook for
more information.
DMV advises that “motorists must look carefully
for bicyclists before turning
left or right, merging into
bicycle lanes, and opening
doors next to moving traffic. Respect the right-ofway of bicyclists because
they are entitled to share
the road with you.”
California is among 24
states requiring motorists to
give bicyclists 3 feet of clearance while passing, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

DA ordered to appear at Pinyon
murder trial proceedings
Defense claims politics drove
seven-year-old investigation
he murder trial of
Robert Pape and
Cristin Smith for a
triple homicide in Pinyon
in 2006 has become both
suspenseful and slowly
and cautiously procedural.
While the defendants are
being prosecuted for mur-
der, the defense is alleging that evidence was misrepresented to the grand
jury, exculpatory evidence
was omitted and local politics played a role in the
indictment of Pape and
Smith. And Smith’s attorney holds Riverside County District Attorney Paul
Zellerbach responsible.
The next act will be be-
fore the court on Monday,
Oct. 6, when Zellerbach
has been ordered to appear. All of the procedural
motions were re-scheduled
for three weeks.
Pape’s attorney raised
the suspense bar with a
subpoena requiring Zellerbach to appear during the
hearing on the motion to
suppress evidence, which
was initially scheduled for
Sept. 15.

Impatience results in crash
Shirley O’Brien, 56, of Menifee, was driving her 2000
Ford Mustang eastbound on Highway 74 near Keen
Camp Summit at 10:15 a.m. Friday when she slowed
and signaled to turn left into a paved turnout area.
As she started her turn, her car was clipped on the
left front by a 1996 Dodge Dakota driven by Bob Jackson, 66, of Hemet. Both vehicles were traveling about 25
to 35 mph, said California Highway Patrol Officer Bolon,
who said that Jackson got impatient and attempted to
pass her from behind in the oncoming lane over a double-yellow center line.
The pickup then went over the side and down a steep
embankment, coming to rest against a small tree on relatively flat ground about 40 feet below the highway.
Jackson told the Town Crier that his vehicle did not
roll, he just drove it down the slope. Jackson received a
laceration to his left arm but refused ambulance transport. O’Brien was not injured.

Xterra driven by Wayne Sleme, of Idyllwild, who was
traveling toward South Circle. McKellar suffered a compound fracture to his left leg and was transported by
Idyllwild Fire to Desert Regional Medical Center. Sleme

New problem for chronic pain sufferers
BY JACK CLARK
CONTRIBUTOR
Pharmacist Barry Shapiro of Idyllwild Pharmacy
alerted the Town Crier last week to new federal regulations moving medications containing hydrocodone from
Schedule III to Schedule II. This includes pain medications such as Lortab, Norco and Vicodin, and cough medicines such as Tussionex.
This change in schedules is part of a program to cut
down on the misuse and abuse of prescription medications. It is due to take place Monday, Oct. 6, 2014, less
than three weeks from now.
This is important to those suffering from chronic
pain because in California, prescriptions for Schedule II
drugs must be written — not telephoned, faxed, emailed
or otherwise transmitted by computer — and they can-
not be refilled. This means a patient in California must
make a physical trip to their prescriber to obtain a written prescription each time they need a refill, then have it
hand-delivered to the pharmacy.
Shapiro said he expects this change to directly affect
people with chronic pain who are undergoing pain management. He anticipates that in response to this new
regulation, many prescribers may attempt to shift patients onto a pain medication not on Schedule II.
In California, in addition to physicians, physician
assistants and nurse practitioners may also write prescriptions for Schedule II drugs, if they also hold a Drug
Enforcement Administration license.
Shapiro also cautions against attempting to obtain
hydrocodone drugs from non-licensed suppliers in the
U.S. or from suppliers in foreign countries, as it will not
likely be possible to determine the source, purity and ef-
ficacy of such drugs.
The Therapeutic Research Center suggests that patients currently taking drugs containing hydrocodone
talk to their prescribers before Oct. 6 in order to avoid
problems this schedule change may cause. It also recommends that patients consult their pharmacist to answer
questions such as how long hydrocodone drugs remain
good or the number of doses or days’ supply that may be
filled at one time.
For prescriptions written before Oct. 6, it may be possible to obtain refills for another six months, until April
8, 2015, so a consultation with one’s pharmacist is recommended.

Our mix of news and
features, I felt, needed a
dose of local humor — a
poke at how serious we
take ourselves in the town
sometimes. And I didn’t
want to hear yet one more
time, “Cartoons in the
Town Crier are never funny.”
I wanted something people would say was funny,
an idea poking fun at life
in Idyllwild and relevant
to our uniqueness. I felt I
had found it when I read
through some of his submissions. Dr KIA’s author submitted the idea at just the
time I pondered a need for
more humor. It’s not a cartoon but I tried it out.
Alas, the column is getting mixed reviews from
readers. You either love it
or you hate it.
People stop me to rave
about it and repeat their
favorites. And people want
to hang me because they
say it’s juvenile or it teaches kids bad things or it attacks tourists, even though
the author owns a business
that caters to visitors.
“In the process of looking for comedy, you have
to be deeply honest. And in
doing that, you’ll find out
here’s the other side. You’ll
be looking under the rock
occasionally for the laughter,” Robin Williams once
said.
OK, I get it. It’s not your
sense of humor. Are all TC
readers required to possess the same sense of humor? No. In fact, I imagine
some readers don’t possess
a sense of humor at all.
But to soften the blow
to those of you who can’t
resist reading something
that offends your tastes,
I’m backing off Dr KIA to
once a month. I also asked
him to ease up on areas
people may be sensitive to.
But don’t put away
that rope too soon. Conor
O’Farrell and Frank Ferro are planning to revive
the TC blog Bad Advice
in the Morning, except
as bi-monthly and in the
newspaper. I hope that
goes over better.
BECKY CLARK, EDITOR
An old saying goes, “Better to remain
silent and be thought a fool than to open
your mouth and remove all doubt.” (Abraham Lincoln) I wish former Vice President Dick Cheney would heed this warning. The man will not shut up.
The fact that people out there still listen to this lunatic is frightening to me.
Last week, Cheney told Republicans
on Capitol Hill it was time to rev up the
war with Iraq. This comes from a man
who was wrong on everything regarding
the war with Iraq and Afghanistan back
in 2003.
He was wrong about weapons of
mass destruction. Then, after getting
us involved, Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld
(another former secretary of defense)
and former President George W. Bush
botched the whole operation beyond repair.
The war with Iraq and Afghanistan
cost Americans between $4 and $6 trillion. Nearly 4,500 servicemen and women were killed in Iraq. And Iraqi casualties are in the hundreds of thousands.
Not only did they not make the situation better, they made it worse. They dismantled the Iraqi army and sent home
tens of thousands of Iraqi men with guns
and no jobs, thus creating more insurgents.
After all of this, and this is only the tip
of the iceberg, Cheney continues to spout
off as if someone should listen to him. The
sad truth is that plenty of Americans do
listen.
Cheney never served in the military.
In fact, Cheney took five draft deferments
during the early ’60s as the Vietnam War
began to escalate, not one or two, but five
deferments.
Obviously, young Cheney had better
things to do than to go fight for his country. There is nothing wrong or illegal, in
or of itself, about taking draft deferments
or sitting out the war. I didn’t serve in the
military. The active draft ended a year
before I turned 18. But if you’re not willing to risk your own life fighting for your
country, you should be damn prudent
about putting other people’s lives in danger on the field of battle.
Cheney is downright gung ho about
using the military as a bully pulpit to enact U.S. foreign policy to the point of being a warmonger. Cheney, along with his
buddies at Halliburton, almost act like
they have a financial interest in war.
My father fought four years in World
War II, both in North Africa and Italy.
Upon returning, my father became very
anti-war. He shared with me the horrors
he saw and experienced. These were not
something he wanted his sons to endure.
I understand there are times in history when a country must respond with
violence. WWII was one of those times,
but I do believe war should be our last option, not the high card we throw on the table every time we get nervous. The most
powerful military force on the planet can
afford to exercise a little restraint.
To Mr. Cheney I say, take some responsibility for your decisions and show a
little humility, quit trying to rewrite history, and give some thought and consideration for the men and women who have
to put their lives on the line for the war
that you are so cavalierly calling for.
Stay out of the fight. You did it in Vietnam, do it now.

Medical discount cards …
BY JAY PENTRACK
STAFF REPORTER
On Sept. 12, the Federal Trade Commission took action against “Partners in Health Care” for tricking people, especially Spanish-speaking individuals, into buying worthless medical discount cards. Telemarketers
misled people by representing that they offered qualified
health plans under the Affordable Care Act and that the
insurance purchased would pay for a variety of medical
services, including doctor and emergency room visits.
Enrollment fees and monthly payments ranging from
$99 to several hundred dollars were collected for the bogus medical insurance.
AFD Medical was banned forever by the FTC from
selling any health care or discount programs after the
FTC found it pushed $299 prescription discount cards
on the elderly. Telemarketers also represented that the
cards were necessary for the person to continue receiving Medicare, Social Security or other health insurance
benefits.
Prior to purchasing health insurance, check with
naic.org or consumeraction.gov to verify that the seller is
licensed in your state of residence and to verify the legitimacy of the plan being offered.

MAST hears outside speaker
Pines and oaks still
threatened and dying
BY J.P. CRUMRINE
NEWS EDITOR
Former Fire Chief Dave Driscoll made a presentation
about the National Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy to the Mountain Area Safety Taskforce
last week.
When the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Land
Assistance, Management and Enhancement (FLAME)
Act of 2009, a provision in the law mandated the development of a national, cohesive, wildland fire management strategy. Its purpose was to comprehensively address wildland fire management activities and strategies across all lands in the U.S. Shortly after enactment
of the law, an intergovernmental planning and analysis
process involving the public was initiated and is commonly referred to as the Cohesive Strategy effort.
Driscoll has been working with fire agencies across
the country, including the Western Governors Conference, as part of the effort sponsored by the International
Association of Fire Chiefs.
Collaborative efforts to enhance fire protection, as the
Hill’s MAST intended from its inception more than a decade ago, have been the goal of local cohesive strategies.
Driscoll has promoted Riverside County’s program for
several years, he said.
Of the 72,000 communities in the U.S. at risk to wildfire threats, only 20,000 have prepared a Community
Wildfire Protection Plan. The Hill, under the aegis of the
Mountain Communities Fire Safe Council, has a CWPP.
Currently, MCFSC is preparing an update to the local
plan.
Driscoll stressed that the three biggest challenges to
fire protection efforts are landscapes filled with an overgrowth of vegetation, population expanding into the
wildland urban interface and the growing risk to firefighters and citizens.
Other programs and policies, which are part of a cohesive strategy, such as defensible space and “Ready,
Set, Go” are already familiar to local residents, Driscoll
noted.
“I don’t think there’s anything you guys aren’t doing,”
Driscoll said. Despite enhanced fire protection projects,
wildfires can still occur. “The true cost of a wildfire can
be two to 30 times the suppression costs,” he said.
During the agency roundtable, MCFSC Executive
Director Edwina Scott reported that 63 homes have had
their wooden cedar shake roofs replaced with fire-resistant shingles in the past year. Another 18 are nearly finished for a total of 81 out of 110 eligible homes.
The Fire Code Committee, which Riverside County Fire Chief John Hawkins established, has met and is
working to find a solution that combines the best of local fire abatement ordinances with the state’s public resource code, said member Sue Nash.
“We’re working to develop a policy for throughout the county to do appropriate fire hazard abatement appropriate to the
property in all jurisdictions
and have the capability to
hire a contractor to do the
work,” Nash said.
“I’m confident we’ll
move that ahead,” Hawkins added.
The discussion also
re-emphasized the threat
and danger that the bark
beetle and goldspotted oak Dave Driscoll, former San
borer bring to the Hill.
Bernardino County fire
“There’s been a huge chief, discusses a coincrease in bark beetle ac- hesive fire management
tivity this year,” reported strategy at last week’s

California Edison project Taskforce meeting.

in 2014, we removed about 1,500 trees and expect to cut
more than 2,000, maybe closer to 2,500 trees,” Simmons
said.
In Idyllwild, about 400 trees have been removed and
Simmons expects the total to approach 800 to 900 by the
end of the year. From identification to removal takes between six to eight weeks, he said. “But we hope to see
that compressed,” Simmons added.
Riverside County Forester Chief Gregg Bratcher reported that the number of trees with confirmed GSOB
infestation in this area is now at 52, a 25-percent increase in the past month.
Some property owners are still reluctant to call for
identification of GSOB infections, according to Bratcher.
But he stressed that Cal Fire cannot remove the damaged trees without the property owner’s permission.
If property owners suspect that an oak tree may be
infected, they should first visit the University of California, Riverside’s GSOB site, http://ucanr.edu/sites/
gsobinfo/. Then call Cal Fire’s GSOB hotline at 951-6598328.
Riverside County has received a grant from the U.S.
Homeland Security Department to finance a replacement of the county’s current advance warning system,
according to Peter Lent, deputy director of Riverside
County’s Office of Emergency Services. The original system was installed in 2008 and he hopes the new one will
be operational next summer.
He also announced that OES will be working with all
of the volunteer groups on the Hill in early December.
“There are great volunteer groups on the Hill and great
volunteers in the community,” he said. “A recruitment
fair is planned as a reach-out to the different volunteer
groups.”
Riverside/San Bernardino supervisors met
On Tuesday, Sept. 16, the Boards of Supervisors for
Riverside and San Bernardino counties were to meet
in a joint session to discuss issues that face both counties, from the changing health-care system to a shift that
sends more state prison inmates and parolees to counties for local supervision.
“So many issues are important to residents in both
counties — health care, public safety, the economy and
operations at Ontario International Airport,” said Jeff
Stone, chair of the RC Board of Supervisors, in a press
release. “This is a chance for the counties to explore innovative programs that might save money and improve
services for our residents.”
Discussion was to include the Affordable Care Act,
the state of health-care delivery in the region, and how
cooperation between the counties might improve residents’ health and increase cost-effectiveness. The boards
also were to discuss AB 109, a state program that reassigns some state parolees to county supervision and

‘Ready, Set, Go’ still important in event of wildfire
BY J.P. CRUMRINE
NEWS EDITOR
In a brief meeting Thursday, Sept. 11, the Mountain
Emergency Service Committee group discussed current projects and were refreshed on the county’s and Cal
Fire’s “Ready, Set, Go” program.
This is an effort to encourage people to be prepared in
the event of a wildfire. Living on the Hill where wildlands
and residential property meet is a high fire risk. Fire officials have been promoting “Ready, Set, Go” since 2009.
Jody Hagemann, senior public information specialist
for Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department, stressed
that campaigns are in place for the community’s safety.
Proper defense against wildland fires begins with defensible space. This is the “Ready” stage. Brochures emphasize the responsibility of residents to prepare their
homes for that rare, but dangerous, fire.
The first step is preparing the open space within 100
feet of the structure to ensure grasses and weeds cannot
carry a flame up to the house or porch.
Owners also need to be aware that flames from either shrubs or bushes may reach the lower limbs of small
trees, which can touch the house or jump onto larger
trees.
After the perimeter defensive, owners need to assess
and to defend the structure itself. Many people do not
understand the risk of burning embers blowing off vegetation and onto the roofs or under the eaves.
The “Set” stage is the planning residents do in case
evacuations are necessary. What routes are safe, where
are danger spots, how to prepare the home if left vacant
and other preparations are questions people must ask
themselves and family.
Finally, “Go” means being aware if evacuations may
be needed, listening for the warning or directive, anticipating the danger and leaving ahead of the notice.
More information can be found at www.readyforwildfire.org/go. Hagemann described the step-by-step forms
available and encouraged residents to identify any potential problems around their homes and abate them.
In case an evacuation is ordered, residents, particularly parents, need to have a plan for their children, even
if in school. If the adults work off the Hill, what is the
plan for picking up the children?
“If evacuation orders are necessary, we want people
to get off the Hill safely and then to come back to their
homes quickly,” Hagemann said.
In other news, the local Medical Reserve Corps had
a session on deployment activation Thursday at the Nature Center. The Aguanga Emergency Preparedness
Group is being revived, reported Kathleen Henderson,
emergency services coordinator from the county Office of
Emergency Services.
Pamela Fojtik and Edith Brix are just two of the 40 medical volunteers on the Hill. On Thursday, the Idyllwild volunteers for the Medical Reserve Corps met with Martin Baxter, medical volunteer program coordinator for Riverside
County.

to maximum capacity, forcing thousands of inmates to

Also on the agenda was a potential joint committee
that would focus on other issues important in both counties, and the prospects for returning operations at Ontario International Airport to local control. Los Angeles
World Airports, the City of Los Angeles department that
oversees operations at Los Angeles International Airport, now operates the local airport.

try Alliance, a public/private partnership of leading
earthquake professionals, emergency managers, government officials, business and community leaders and
others.
The Board of Commissioners for the Idyllwild Fire
Protection District last week approved a final budget for
the fiscal year 2014-15, which began July 1.
The budget has a projected net surplus of nearly
$175,000. Estimated revenues will grow 10 percent to
$1.9 million. The greatest surge is that expected property tax revenue will grow nearly $160,000, or 14 percent.
Expenses are only $18,000, or less than a half percent
more than 2013-14, for a total of $1.7 million.
Staff salaries and benefits are $1.3 million (78 percent) of the expenses, which Fire Chief Patrick Reitz
said, “… is 4 to 6 percent below the national average.”
However, he confirmed that this budget assumes vacancies during the year and does not fund the full firefighter
career staff of nine employers and himself. For example,
a replacement for former Capt. James Reyes will not be
selected soon. Reitz had earlier said he planned to have a
full staff before the end of the fiscal year.
In August, IFPD received the $300,000 advance of its
property tax receipts, which was requested in June and
the Board of Supervisors approved at the end of July, according to Reitz.
He also thanked the public for “stepping up and funding the station’s remodeling.”
Commissioner Nancy Layton reported that the Finance Committee is reviewing possibly refinancing the
district’s debt. As part of the refinancing package, the
committee is investigating the cost of new ambulances
and a utility vehicle, as well as paying off the medical
equipment loan ahead of its due date this winter.
Reitz requested that the committee also consider
adding the cost of IFPD’s unfunded benefit liability in
the loan amount. This is CAL PERS’ estimate of what
the district owes for pensions in order to be actuarially
balanced for the future.
Fire Engineer Mike Yount will retire later this
month, Reitz announced. Yount has been a member of
the fire department for 23 years.
IWD raises sewer rates 50 percent
BY J.P. CRUMRINE
NEWS EDITOR
Sewer bills for Idyllwild Water District’s 600 sewer customers will increase 50 percent in October. The
Board of Directors unanimously approved the increase
at its Sept. 10 meeting.
The new rates are estimated to raise revenues about
$180,000 annually. For most of the 420 residential customers, the monthly increase will be $12.75, for a total
monthly sewer bill of $38.25. This amounts to another
$153 each year. Since 2010, rates have grown 33 percent because of annual 6-percent increases.
General Manager Tom Lynch recommended the
rate increase because “… the system [at the treatment
plant] is seriously denigrated.
“The rates are not sufficient to cover operational costs and the capital expenses,” he added. Revenue
from the sewer fees fails to cover the costs to operate
the sewer program. Even the addition of property taxes
from properties within the district is insufficient.
“With this adjustment, it will be seven to eight years
before we can reach stabilization of funds,” Lynch said.
“We’re using [property] taxes to cover expense,” noted
“The rates are not sufficient
to cover operational costs and
the capital expenses”
Director Warren Monroe. These revenues should have
been set aside for capital projects, Lynch responded.
Lynch and his staff see the need for a multi-million-dollar capital improvement program, spread over
several years, to improve the treatment facility. This
effort will consume IWD’s reserves without the help of
the rate increase.
The most pressing project will be a 1-mile replacement of the effluent line at the treatment site. The
wastewater treatment plant was built in 1971 and operations started in 1972. The last major sewer capital
program was in 2006 and focused on IWD’s manhole
covers.
In water business, Lynch reported that “… well levels are holding or slightly diminished. We are watching the well levels at [Foster] Lake.” Recent rainfall did
not affect the well levels and Foster Lake remains dry.
IWD is making greater use of the downtown wells be-
cause of the drought, according to Lynch.
IWD’s August water consumption was 7.6 million
gallons, which was almost 1 million less than August
2013 and 2.1 million less than July. For the first eight
months of 2014, production has fallen 6.9 million gallons to a total of 56.9 million. For the same period in
2013, production was 63.9 million gallons or more than
10 percent less.
The Tollgate tank is being filled slowly, Lynch reported. It will soon be connected to the distribution system.
At this meeting, another customer, Dr. William
Walker, addressed the board about his recent high water bill. “I’m asking how this could happen and what
can we do?” he inquired.
Lynch said his staff is investigating the situation
and there are several possibilities, some of which are
not obvious. But he told the board, “Because of these
concerns, I’ll bring a manufacturer’s representative to
the next meeting.”
“Maybe we have a batch of meters breaking down?”
posed President Jim Billman, who asked Lynch to do
an investigation because “something is not right.”
Pine Cove water usage up
BY J.P. CRUMRINE
NEWS EDITOR
Water consumption has continued to grow this year
in Pine Cove. Pine Cove Water District General Manager Jerry Holldber reported at last week’s board meeting that the August production was 3.7 million gallons,
50,000 gallons more than July, but 460,000, or 14 percent, more than a year ago.
“Last August’s consumption was low because of the
thunderstorms in the area from the Mountain Fire until
Labor Day,” he said.
“Production in August was up quite a bit,” Holldber
said. “There are a couple of reasons. Use of water for construction was more than usual. And second, the [storage]
tank level rose this month.”
Unaccounted-for losses this summer have been about
10 percent, which are slightly higher than average and
another reason production is up, Holldber stated.
However, Pine Cove water consumption for the first
eight months of the year is 6.5 percent less than the
same period in 2009 and 15.4 percent less than a decade
ago.
While consumption has grown slightly this year, Holldber noted that the level of the district’s static well (no.
10) rose 2 feet since July. (During the past year, the level
has fallen 12 feet.)
Several other wells’ water levels rose also, causing

tion for this year, Holldber said. Through August, about
3,000 feet of pipe were installed at an average cost of
about $60 per foot. Last summer, the district laid about
900 feet of pipeline along Highway 243 at an average
cost of about $70 per foot.
The asphalt still has to be poured, but most of the
work is done, he told the board.

“Palestine and Israel”
BY JACK CLARK
CONTRIBUTOR
Two speakers, both informed and intensely interested in Palestine/Israel issues, will present their individual perspectives Thursday evening, Sept. 18, at
Silver Pines Lodge.
The object, they both say,
is to present information to
the public as to the nature of
the controversy so the pubSoccer coach Lance Fogle (right) has his team run practices at the goal Monday eve- lic understands there really
are two serious viewpoints.
ning at Idyllwild School.
Kelli Way said she will
present the “anti-Israeli policy” side, focusing on three
main policies of Israel: Jewish settlements in Palestinian territory, the blockade
of Gaza and Operation Protective Edge. She stresses
that the goal is to give people some background to foster a better understanding
of what is at stake in hopes
of promoting a really lasting
peace between the two factions.
Kami Blake said she will
present a broad picture on
Israeli policy issues, opining that differences in ideology and culture are driving much of the conflict and
keeping it alive from one
generation to the next. Her
talk will include a history of the Zionist movement
from the late 1800s onward,
which she characterizes as
essentially: “If we had our
own country and borders,
we could tend to our own security.”
This idea for this presentation came out of a discussion between the two in
which they asked why people with opposing opinions
cannot have a civil discussion in which they present
information.
The event, which is open
to the public at no charge,
will commence with a reception at 5:30 p.m. leading into
the presentation set for 6
p.m. A question-and-answer
period follows the presentations.

Helping veterans fulfill dreams
In partnership with the Kansas Farmers Union, the Center for Rural Affairs held
workshops for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who were from small towns
and rural areas. The USDA Risk Management Agency funded the activities. According to John Crabtree of the Center for Rural
Affairs, the workshops provided face-to-face
meetings between veterans and resource
providers, conversations with farmers, and
information on resources and strategies
to begin farming and ranching. The workshops included classroom sessions, farm
tours and a web broadcast with virtual farm

Messages for new parents
A free mobile phone
health service for expectant and new parents is now available in
English and Spanish to
Riverside County parents who want to receive
free text messages on
health information and
immunization reminders
through the first year of
their child’s life.
Parents using the
service, physicians, children’s advocates, and
Riverside County supervisors, in partnership
with the mobile health
service Text4baby, formally launched the service in April.
Advocates say the
partnership will make
it easier for parents to
learn about Text4baby
and to sign up through
existing programs such
Women, Infants and
Children, First 5 Riverside, the Riverside County Regional Medical Center women’s health and
pediatric services, and
Riverside County Health
System’s 10 outpatient
family health centers.
Text4baby offers an
opportunity for parents
to receive appointment
reminders, information
specific to their stage of
pregnancy and child’s developmental age, as well
as other alerts — such as
proper sleep positioning,
pertussis and flu vaccination reminders.
“This is information
that can save children’s
lives,” said Dr. Carrie
Bacon, assistant chief of
family medicine for Riverside County Health
System.
Text4baby
collects
only the user’s phone
number, zip code and
due date. It delivers
three text messages per
week and, when necessary, transmits urgent
health and safety alerts,
such as baby product
recalls and natural disasters. The American
Academy of Pediatrics,
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention create and oversee the content.
Dr. Aleca Clark, a
Loma Linda pediatrician
and Chief of Pediatrics
at Riverside County Regional Medical Center
said she used Text4baby
for more than a year to
assess its accuracy and
value. Clark said this
was especially important
because Text4baby has
been effective at reaching English- and Spanish-speaking
parents
who live in zip codes with
the highest levels of poverty in the United States
and where perinatal care
is less frequent.
Riverside County Supervisor Marion Ashley
said county leaders are
committed to supporting
programs that improve
population health and
enhance the quality of
lives for children.
Riverside
County
agencies, such as the
health clinics, WIC and
First5, will be working
to integrate Text4baby
information into their
clinics’ services, physicians said. Parents may
also sign up by texting
BABY (or “BEBE” for
Spanish) to 511411 to receive three text messages a week through their
child’s first birthday.
Parents may also
sign up for Text4Babies
through WIC at www.

Trudy Twadorski’s Oma’s European Restaurant and Bakery
on Ridgeview Drive, downtown Idyllwild. So the names
Maury Bousquet, David Curl, Warren Monroe, Jackey Queen,
the Jeff and Yvonne Smith family, and the Josh and Emily
White family went into the hat and Curl’s name came
out, a first-time winner. Please come to the Town Crier to
pick up your gift card to Shane Stewart’s Rustic Theatre.
Also, two things: If you choose to use email, please address it to [email protected]. And you all need not
work so hard! A photo entry is not necessary. The simple description “fountain at Oma’s” would have sufficed
in this case to tell me you found the right spot, and in
most cases that would be enough. On the other hand,
“the wall at Jo’An’s” would simply be too vague, given
that the wall goes all around that restaurant, see? So,
take a shot at this week’s photo now.
One entry per household. Contest deadline: Monday noon. Not a race — correct entries go into a hat for a
drawing. Full contest rules and guidelines available at the
Town Crier office.

World traveler at home in Idyllwild
BY JAY PENTRACK
STAFF REPORTER
The beginning of Mimi
Lamp’s development as an
artist was a bit of a rocky
one. With a mother who
was an art major in school,
the family was encouraged to use their “art eyes”
in their view of the world.
Even Mimi’s Dad got involved and began painting
so he could spend time with
his artistic wife.
Drawing and painting
were always part of Mimi’s
life growing up, so it was no
surprise that she attempted to draw a portrait of another student during an
art session while she was
in the eighth grade. “I did
a portrait of this older student. She looked at me and
said, ‘I don’t have bug eyes
like that,’ and I thought, ‘Oh
my God, I’m never going to
do a portrait again because
I got on the wrong side of
that girl,’ and she had bug
eyes,” Mimi said, laughing.
“I’m sure I made them bigger than what she had, but
I probably did quite the caricature of her.”
Mimi was raised in
Coupeville, Washington, to
a pastor father and a stayat-home mother who, in
addition to raising her children, helped her husband
with his pastoral duties. After Coupeville, the family
moved to Halls Lake, just
outside of Seattle, where
they spent six years. A
move to Ketchikan, Alaska, for two years followed
and then the family packed
up their VW Bus and headed to New York where the
family and their VW boarded a ship to Aman, Jordan.
“My Dad went down to
the dock and started asking around, ‘Does anybody
have room for six people?’
and he got to a Greek ship
— it was just a freightliner
— and he said, ‘Do you have
room for six people?’ and
[the captain] said, ‘It just so
happens that I had six people who jumped ship here in
New York, so yes, we have
six beds available,’” Mimi
recalled. “The trip took us
an entire month to go from
New York; we ended up in
Aqaba, Jordan. [The ship]
was one of the old liberty
boats that fought in World
War II and they were only
supposed to make the trip
to pick up the soldiers and
bring them home; this was
in 1962.
“Twenty years later they
are still using these ships
and the rudder broke. We
ended up in Cuban waters
and we were being buzzed
by Cuban planes,” Mimi recalled. “Once we got to Saudi Arabia, it was the first
trip for the captain and he
tried to go into port; well
it was like midnight, or 1
a.m. in the morning, and we
woke up to a bunch of shots
being fired because we had
no permission to go there
and they weren’t expecting
us. You know, you shoot
first and ask questions later.”
War forced the evacuation of the family to Lebanon (where Mimi would
meet the boy who would
later become her husband)
and from there the family
was again evacuated, this
time to Europe. Once the
war ended, the family returned to Jordan where
Mimi would remain until
she turned 18.
“The church that my
parents were missionaries
for, once you turned 18 or
you graduated from high
school you had to come back
to the states because they
wanted you to come back
and go to school in your own
country, which was just
horrible,” Mimi said. “It was
like a punishment to me.
When you spend from eight
to 17 [years in a place] you
feel so much more comfortable in that culture.”
After high school and
now back in the states,
Mimi went to college in Idaho, her parents’ alma mater, for a short time before
deciding to drop out. “I became a dental assistant,
learned how to do that and
passed my boards. Then
I took all of the art classes I wanted to take. I want
to take this, I want to take
that … I never got a degree,
no degree whatsoever, but
I’ve had lots and lots of art
classes,” she said, laughing.
And while college was
not Mimi’s passion, she met
the man she would marry, a Northern California
transplant, who was not
at all comfortable with the
cool and wet Seattle weather. After two years in Seattle, and at her then-husband’s insistence, the fami-
ly moved to San Jose where
they remained for 25 years
and raised their three children.
The couple divorced,
leaving Mimi to support
the family which she did by
working a variety of jobs —
house parent at a home for
unwed mothers, manager of
a carpet cleaning business,
restaurateur and secretary
for a computer company.
It was in California
where Mimi reconnected
with a boy she had met in
Beirut during their wartime
evacuation. “We went to the
same elementary school together in Beirut,” Mimi recalled. “It’s not that we really knew each other, because
he’s my little brother’s age. I
knew his older brothers better, but I planned a school
reunion so we kind of got reacquainted with each other.”
Don and Mimi married and she relocated to
Southern California. Her
introduction to Idyllwild
came after a family tragedy inspired Don to plan
a camping trip in 2007 to
Lake Hemet. “‘We’re going
camping,’” she said Don announced. “‘I haven’t seen
a smile on your face for six
weeks.’ He was at work and
I was at home and I said,
‘OK, let’s go online, let’s find
somewhere to go. I really would love big, tall trees

because
being
from
Washington, it’s interesting.’ All of that stuff
is like buried inside of
you and you really don’t
know it, but when you go
for comfort, I always go
to big trees and mountains. That’s what I love.”
From her first visit, Mimi was hooked. In
short order, the couple
found a home in Idyllwild
and spent every minute
they could in the mountains they loved. “We’d
come up every week. We
figure we drove up 100
times in two-and-a-half
years. We always came
mid-week because [Don’s]
shift was weekends, so
we’d come up on Tuesday
and then leave on Thursday or Friday, so we really
got to know the locals and
it was quiet; such a nice
little town.”
After relocating fulltime to Idyllwild, Mimi
opened the Lamp Gallery
on Village Lane and reveled in her new art career.
But Don had other plans
— specifically, a year-long
trip around the world.
Mimi closed the gallery
and packed her bags.
“Our goal was to see
as much of the world as
possible to get a general
overview, which is a really interesting concept,
but it was also very tiring. We thought we actually had to take time off
from seeing the world,”
Mimi said, laughing. “Our
plan was to stay on each
continent for two months
so we started off in Palm
Springs on the train.”
Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, South America,
South Africa, Morocco,
Europe, China and Peru
are just a sampling of the
73 locations the couple
visited. During her trek,
Mimi’s goal was to draw
every day, and while it
was a lofty goal, Mimi was
able to create pen and ink
drawings that are breathtaking. Mimi’s work and
journals can be found on
her website, www.artbymimi.net.
In March 2013, the
couple purchased Higher
Grounds and since then
they have been adding
personal touches to make
it their own. “It takes a
lot of creative thought to
say, ‘What can I do that’s
different that’s mine?’ I
cleaned up the front the
way I like it, I put things
in place, I removed things,
I added things … it’s still
a work in progress. It’s
fun making it a little more
personal, but you have to
think kind of critically,
like which direction do I
want to go?” Mimi said.
Asked what she likes
most about living in
Idyllwild, Mimi said, “So
many places don’t like
strangers moving in. Here
they welcome strangers;
now we have another person to fill our minds with
… ‘Come on over to my
house for this or that.’ It’s
the community that everybody wants but very
few people get.”

She’s all ears — mixed in with
a lot of love, obedience and fun
in such a small package.
Tammy, also known as Billie Jean, is a 5- to 6-yearold min-pin. She’s
good with cats and other dogs, and on
the leash. And she absolutely loves car
rides. Could you share your space with
this girl?
Tammy came into ARF with Lola,
the min-pin/Chihuahua. They are
good buddies, but get along well apart.
Lola is about 6 or 7 years old. She
also is fine with the feline crowd
and other dogs, and on the leash.
She’s such a happy girl. Tammy
and Lola could be adopted together or separately.
Archie, the Schipperke/Eskimo-mix is still patiently waiting for his forever home, too.
Archie is white as snow, loves
to walk, and is good with other
dogs, cats and patient humans.
His favorite toy is a treat-filled
kong. And his favorite pastime
is following your direction and
grooming.

CROSSWORD
September 2014 — Week 3
March 21 – April 19
Progress is lagging. It may be time to
turn up the heat, Aries. A renovation
begins at home. Prepare for chaos for
some time to come.
April 20 – May 20
Be careful, Taurus. What appears to be
a travesty of justice may in fact not be.
A health issue is resolved with a change
in treatment.
May 21 – June 21
It’s all about the numbers this week,
Gemini. Keep track of your expenditures.
There could be ways to save. A special
occasion draws near.
June 22 – July 22
The need for a purchase becomes clear.
Do your homework, Cancer. A challenge
is presented. Take it only if you dare. A
friend returns a favor.
July 23– August 22
(Answers on previous page)
The stakes are high, maybe a little too
high, Leo. There is no shame in bowing
out. Vacation plans continue to change.
Be patient. It will all come together soon.
August 23– September 22
Whew, Virgo. The pressure eases with
better technology and a larger team. An
old foe drops by bearing gifts. Welcome
them with caution.
September 23– October 22
Dribble, dribble, dribble. Relax, Libra.
Things are getting done, just not at the
pace you would like. A loved one has an
interesting proposal. Hear them out.
October 23– November 21

the pros, Capricorn. A promise is made.
January 20 – February 18
Opportunity knocks yet again. This
is your chance, Aquarius. A sequence

February 19 – March 20
Pace yourself, Pisces. There is a lot to
do this week, but you have more than
enough time to get it done. A crass
comment is no reason to get upset.

Judge Michael Naughton
agreed with the DA’s motion to quash the subpoena. During Monday’s proceedings, the trial judge,
Charles Stafford, acknowledged another judicial official had quashed the subpoena and he was unwilling to overrule it. However,
he encouraged the defense
to re-subpoena Zellerbach
for the next court hearing.
But later he decided to
order Zellerbach to appear
at the October proceeding
and said the court does not
need to subpoena his presence.
“DA Zellerbach is
aware of the judge’s order
and intends at this time
to abide by the order,” said
John Hall, senior public information specialist for the
District Attorney’s Office,
Tuesday morning.
On Sept. 5, Richard Blumenfeld, Pape’s defense
counsel, filed a motion to
dismiss the indictment. He
made several arguments.
All involved essentially the
DA’s office misleading or
concealing evidence during
the grand jury proceeding,
as well as violating Pape’s
Fourth Amendment protections against an unreasonable search.
While Blumenfeld attacks specific evidence,
such as Smith’s DNA on a
business card found at the
crime scene, he relies heav-
“Initially these tactics were probably
calculated to get the District Attorney
through a bitter re-election campaign.”
ily on evidence that might
point to other suspects and
was never presented to the
grand jury.
Blumenfeld objects to
the case as being entirely
circumstantial and paper
thin. Essentially, he claims
it was created by “… shenanigans in an attempt to
pull the wool over the eyes
of the grand jury.”
The investigation was
originally “aborted within a year or so of the homicides …,” then was revived
“… on the same state of the
evidence previously rejected by the District Attorney
as insufficient to prosecute
[Pape] or anyone else for
these crimes,” he wrote.
In his concluding sentence, Blumenfeld plays
the politics card, entwining
Zellerbach in the murder
case.
Blumenfeld describes
the DA’s office’s conduct
during the grand jury proceedings as “… a pattern
of gross misconduct.” He
then attributes this behavior to Zellerbach.
“Initially these tactics
were probably calculated
to get the District Attorney
through a bitter re-election

campaign. The election is
over. It is time this court
said ‘Enough,’” he wrote.
On the night of Sept. 17,
2006, Becky Friedli, 18, her
mother, Vicki Friedli, 53,
and Vicki’s boyfriend, Jon
Hayward, 55, were found
dead at their Pinyon home.
Becky’s body was found
burning in a wheelbarrow
outside the house. The other bodies were found inside
the burning home.
On March 11 this year,
both Pape, 26, and Smith,
25, were arrested and
charged for these murders.
They were high school
friends.
Other issues deferred
until October included the
prosecution’s request to
combine the trials for Pape
and Smith into one. Currently there are two trials
because Pape is eligible
for the death penalty and
Smith is not because he
was a minor when the homicides occurred.
The DA’s office argued
that there are many precedents for combining trials
of defendants when only
one may receive a death
sentence. Both the U.S.
Supreme Court and the
California Supreme Court
have held “that a noncapital defendant’s right to a
trial by an impartial jury
is not violated by his being
jointly tried with the capital defendant.”

died unexpectedly Saturday, Sept. 6, 2014,
two days after suffering
a massive stroke at his
home. A lifelong resident
of the San Diego community of Linda Vista,
Gary was also a recognizable figure in Idyllwild,
where his family has
maintained a cabin in the
shadow of Tahquitz Peak
for 50 years.
Gary’s education took
him through the halls of
Kit Carson Elementary, Montgomery Jr. High
and Kearny High. After
graduation, he worked at
a pickle factory and 7 Up
Bottling Co. before beginning a 35-year career
with San Diego Gas and
Electric. Before retiring
in 2002, the self-proclaimed “Gas Man” often served
in capacities well above and beyond his position as
a gas-service technician. He worked on emergency
strike teams in San Francisco and Northridge following devastating earthquakes in 1989 and 1994,
respectively, and was once honored by the company
for saving a man’s life.
Born Feb. 9, 1945, the son of a San Diego police detective and Sharp Memorial Hospital nurse,
Gary is survived by his wife Maureen, his children
David and Sarah, mother Ina, sister Gail and an extended family that includes countless friends and
relatives.
Always lending a hand when one was needed, always giving of himself and always thinking of others, Gary will forever be remembered for his outrageous sense of humor, great humility and deep
devotion. As a Lifesharing donor, Gary’s final act
of selflessness saved the lives of several others. If
wealth is measured by friendship, love and sacrifice, Gary was unquestionably the world’s richest
man.
A memorial service and celebration of Gary’s life
is planned at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, in Linda
Vista. For details, contact Gary’s family, who suggest visiting Lifesharing.org for information on becoming an organ donor or to make a memorial contribution in Gary’s name.
Some Covered California health
insurees’ coverage is in jeopardy
Covered
California has been contacting
about 98,000 families
that must resolve eligibility inconsistencies in
their 2014 enrollment
documents.
The consumers will
need to submit documents showing they are
lawfully present in the
United States as U.S.
citizens, U.S. nationals
or individuals with eligible immigration status, in order to continue
their health insurance
through Covered California. Notices were being
mailed and emailed to
consumers beginning the
first week of September.
If proper proof is not provided by Sept. 30, these
individuals risk termination of health coverage.
“We want to clear
these inconsistencies so
that our consumers can
have a smoother renewal process without any
interruption in their
coverage,” said Covered
California Executive Director Peter V. Lee in
a press release. “We’re
implementing a multitouch,
multi-channel
outreach approach to notify individuals who risk
losing coverage.”
Covered
California
has been working to
clear inconsistencies. To
date, more than 700,000
documents have been
verified and processed.
Documents submitted by consumers will
be treated confidentially
and will be used only to
determine the consumers’ eligibility for health
insurance programs and
will not be used for immigration enforcement,
Covered California said.
Some consumers may
have previously provided Covered California
the required documents,
but the agency could not
reconcile the information to verify citizenship
or immigration status,
according to Lee. For example, some documents
were illegible, and in
some cases two pieces of
proof were needed, but
only one document was
sent, so the agency is requesting the documents
be sent again.
The notices will provide consumers with a
list of documents they
can send to prove their
lawful presence. The notices will be delivered in
English and Spanish,
and help also is available
in other languages.
Consumers also will
be instructed on how to
upload the documents to
their account, send them
via U.S. mail or fax them
to 1-888-329-3700. Also,
thousands of partners,
including Covered California Certified Insurance Agents, Certified
Enrollment Counselors,
Service Center representatives and county
eligibility workers, will
be available to help consumers submit the necessary documentation.
Lee stressed that
consumers should act
quickly to submit the
requested
documents.
“If we do not get your
documents,
Covered
California must cancel
your health insurance,
along with any federal tax credit you may
be receiving that lowers your monthly premiums,” Lee said. “If you
have received tax credits, and your health insurance is canceled,
you may have to repay
those tax credits. If your
health insurance is canceled, you may also have
to pay a tax penalty.”
The following documents may prove eligible immigration status: a U.S. passport; a
certificate of naturalization (N-550/N-570); a
certificate of citizenship
(N-560/N-561); a U.S.
public birth certificate;
a driver’s license issued
by a U.S. state or territory; an identification
card issued by the federal, state or local government; a school identification card; a foreign passport; and a green card. A
complete list is at www.

Author to discuss her newest book
Former Hill resident and author Diane Noble will
talk about her newest book, “The Curious Case of the
Missing Figurehead,” and her challenge of living with
Parkinson’s Disease. She will talk about recent research
showing a link between creativity and the disease. “I began to accept that Parkinson’s wasn’t a curse, it was a
gift,” she said.
As the author of more than 20 works of historical fiction, some published under the pen name “Amanda MacLean,” Noble comes to this event well-versed in her capacity for entertaining storytelling. Her nearly complete
“Brides of Gabriel” series, containing the novels “The
Sister Wife” and “The Betrayal,” reveal her well-researched background into the mid-19th century Mormon experience in the Western United States, and this
latest book (starting a new series) further explicates her
proficiency at providing a well-constructed mystery tale.
The free talk is from 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at
the Idyllwild Library.

The holiday concert season culminates with performances on Dec. 20 and 21.
Once again, IMC will team with with the Art Alliance
of Idyllwild in the Idyllwild School gym.

Sept. 30, with subsequent rehearsals on each Tuesday

The concert features a classical, pops and jazz/contemporary section. Special guest artists include John

The burglar apparently isn’t the smartest at
his/her craft. “If they had
looked in the front door
[window], they would’ve
seen that there was no
money in the till,” said
Parker.
Terri French, owner
of Let it Shine gift shop in
Oakwood Village, wasn’t
so lucky. She was devastated to find her shop’s
door pried open, her cash
register smashed and cash
gone when she arrived at
her shop Monday morning.
But again, none of her
merchandise was missing.
Phyllis Brown of Prairie Dove suffered the
same on a Thursday
about three weeks ago.

a small window in her
shop, “destroyed my cash

money,” she said. “There’s

… [who was sleeping in the
shop] heard someone out
there, shined a flashlight
and they ran off.”
Mountain Mike said
they took $200 worth of
firewood that he sells at his
shop. But he isn’t letting
this get him down. “I can’t
let one lowlife ruin it for everyone else,” he said.
The owners said all
the incidents were reported to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.
Capt. Ray Wood of the
Hemet Station had been
out of the office for 10 days
and had not garnered
enough information to
comment by press time.
“I feel sorry for people

French. “But I feel sorry for
us, too. These little businesses are barely eking by
as it is.”
