3rd District Supervisor Chuck
Washington paid a visit to Anza
on July 8, fielding many questions
from area residents, and articulating his career and philosophies.
The Journal was there, but we
have some questions that needed
answering.
We found Washington and his
staff to be very receptive and affable.

Cooperative Candidacy Conniption
[An abridged version of this
editorial was posted on the Journal’s
Facebook page on July 13, and was
originally titled, “What You Need to
Know About the AEC Election, or,
How to Spot a Fraud in Three Easy
Steps.” This is the extended version,
and afterwards, the replies of some
who were mentioned in the article
are printed.]
When Becka and I purchased the
Journal last year, one of the rules
we set for ourselves was that we
would not endorse candidates. The
reasons for this were many, but
predominantly, we thought that it
would be presumptuous of us to do
so, and we believed (and still do)
that Anza Valley residents were
perfectly capable of making up their
own minds about things without any
nudging from us.
And then along came the 2015
AEC elections, which has forced our
hands.
So, let me jump to the end here, and
say this: Whatever you do, don’t vote
for Annette Gilliam. This person is a
toxic stew of narcissism, arrogance,
convoluted thinking, outrageous
behavior, and poor taste, and should
not be allowed anywhere near a
community institution with the kind
of high integrity the Anza Electric
Cooperative has earned over its many
decades of existence.
And, besides that, she has engaged in
fraud. While she herself likes to toss
around the “fraud” word like candy
at an Anza Days Parade, aiming it at
the Co-op’s General Manager, Kevin
Short, be it on the phone with me,
or in the Anza Valley Outlook, the
Journal has discovered that Gilliam
has engaged in a bit of fraud herself,
aimed at the general membership of
the Co-op.
That fraud has to do with the
petition signatures she collected for
her candidacy for the Cooperative.
The Journal (meaning Ed Kohout
- yes, yes, we’re basically one in the
same, but it’s hard for me to speak of
myself in the third person) learned
last week, after requesting to view all
five candidates’ delivered petitions petitions that are required to run for
a Directorship on the Board of the
Co-op - that some people had signed
twice. Four people, to be exact, and
this is strictly against the rules, not
to mention common sense. I will not
name all of those people who signed
twice, but I will be mentioning one
person in particular, as this person
is a very prominent member of our
community.
Of course, those “duplicate”
signatures were discounted by the
Cooperative’s administration, but
in the end, Gilliam had reached the
30 signature threshold to become a
candidate. (More on how she was
able to sneak in her own signature at
the last minute to reach that 30 mark
in a bit.)
You may be asking, what is the
Journal trying to accomplish by
looking at candidates’ petitions? The
answer is simple - Annette Gilliam
brought the subject up with the
Journal and the Outlook, saying
that the Cooperative was probably
errantly discounting signatures,
perhaps in a biased fashion against
her. I needed to get to the bottom of
this issue.
Gilliam has also claimed that,
because so many of her petition
signatures were discounted - 33%,
according to her math - while at
nearly the same time “0.4%” of the
ballots in the May bylaws referendum
(to allow the Cooperative to get into
the broadband internet business)
were discounted, that there must be
some kind of fraud going on.
Yes, Gilliam actually used this
“F” word in her statement to the
Outlook, which they printed, in the
July 3 edition, on page 10: “…AEC
management distributed excess
ballots that were not verifiable and
had the ballot box stuffed to pass the
proposal they wanted. It was a fraud
on the members.”
Well, folks, none of this is true. The
AEC’s employees did not “stuff ” the
ballot box. I’m telling you right here,
right now, that this simply did not
happen. What did happen was that
a lot of people voted yes, because a
lot of people in our community are
starving for quality internet service.
And, the ballots were indeed verified
by an outside company that is in
the business of verifying corporate
elections. I asked Gilliam if she had
bothered to make an inquiry with
this company, and she said she did
not. One would think that if Gilliam
was so eager to toss around the “F”
word, she would have some kind
of solid data to back up that claim.
After all, claims require evidence,
and extraordinary claims require
extraordinary evidence. The claim
that the AEC, or any officer in the
AEC, is committing a fraud, is, in my
opinion, a very extraordinary claim.
But, when it comes to Gilliam’s logic,
extraordinary claims only require
the evidence that is floating around
in the windmills of her mind. Ms.
Gilliam: you have no proof, and you
know it. And, you tried to use your
own petition fraud to “prove” that the
Co-op was committing a fraud. You
are, by definition, a fraud!
But the story doesn’t stop here. As I
said, the Journal was allowed to view
the petitions. I was not allowed to
make copies, or view them outside
of the presence of the Cooperative
employees who honored the Journal’s
request to view these internal
documents, but I was allowed to take
notes. Here is what I found out:
Joel Carlisle:
37 signatures
0 disallowed
0 duplicates
37 valid signatures.
Harold Burdick:
36 signatures
4 disallowed
0 duplicates
Elena Mafla:
55 signatures
9 disallowed
0 duplicates
Alan Thomas:
55 signatures
8 disallowed
0 duplicates
Annette Gilliam:
42 signatures
12 disallowed
4 duplicates
None of the other four candidates
had duplicate signatures, yet Gilliam
got four people to sign twice. If a
duplicate showed up once, it might be
excusable, but four times? That looks
like fraud to me.
The one signature that stood out
was that of Megan Haley, a local
businessperson who is also on the
School Board for Hemet Unified,
and is the President of the Anza
Chamber of Commerce. My calls to
Haley about this issue have not been
returned, which is odd, because she
has always returned my calls before
when it came to either the School
Board or the Chamber. She may be
on vacation, or may have some other
reason for not returning my calls.
(It should also be noted here that
Haley is an advertiser in the Journal.)
I was able to ask Gilliam about this,
and her explanation is as follows: “I
do know that some people, such as
Megan and Eric Haley own more
than one property. I know of at least
three properties that the Haleys own
and they may have a fourth. They are
entitled to sign for each property they
have service at. I don’t know if AEC
invalidated the signatures that were
additional property they own or not,
since THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME
DETAILS! Perhaps since you have an
“in” at AEC, you can ask them about
the Haleys’ properties, but that might
be an invasion of their privacy.” This
is from an email on July 12.
Yes, indeed, that would be an
“invasion” of their privacy, but then
why even suggest it? (That’s another
thing about Gilliam - she seems to
think I have some kind of special
access to the Cooperative that
other mere mortals do not - which
is absurd.) What is obvious here
is that Gilliam doesn’t understand
the first thing about the rules of the
Cooperative: no one, no matter how
many different electricity meters
are in their name, get to vote more
than once. The Co-op has this rule
for obvious reasons, and it is a rule
that is perfectly legal, not to mention
sensible.
Of course, the Cooperative did give
Gilliam a chance to find the one
last signature she needed, at the last
minute, to ensure she could run for
office. At the last minute, Gilliam ran
down to the AEC office and SIGNED
HER OWN PETITION, becoming
the 30th valid signatory. Regardless
of how awful Gilliam thinks the Coop is, they actually HELPED HER.
But, Gilliam doesn’t seem to care,
as when I replied to her comment
above, she came back with this:
“Also, according to the California
Corporations Code, each share is
typically entitled to one vote on each
matter. According to the Bylaws of
AEC, “Any natural person, firm,
association, corporation, business
trust, partnership, Federal agency,
state or political subdivision thereof,
or body politic” may be a “member
of AEC” and may receive electric
service “at one or more premises
owned or directly occupied or used
by him or her.” This would mean
that I could own property as my
business, personally, as a rental, etc.
California law would interpret this
to mean that I would get a vote at
each such “premises” just like in a
shareholder-owned
corporation,
each owner is entitled to the number
of votes equal to the number of shares
owned. If AEC is interpreting the law
differently, then that might also be a
problem. They might be abrogating
their members’ voting rights.”
Well, either they are, or they aren’t,
and one would think an attorney
who is running for office would have
the answer by now. But, she doesn’t.
I do, however: The Cooperative is
operating within the law. Duh!
In fact, it became obvious after
speaking at length with Gilliam twice
on the phone, and through a lengthy
email exchange (where she refused
to answer the bulk of my questions,
even though she requested that I
send questions to her in email, so
she could “think about them,”) that
she knows nearly nothing about the
AEC, how it works, what its history
is, or anything else. I guess in Gilliam
World, just being an attorney means
all knowledge must only be what she
thinks it is, and what it actually is
means very little.
Gilliam also went on to blame her
“campaign manager” for the trouble:
“As with many elections, I have a
“campaign manager” who took on
the task of obtaining signatures, since
I am very busy with my ranch of
alpacas, mini horses, and show dogs,
and my legal clients and my volunteer
work on two boards (for one of which
I am the chair of the bylaw revision
committee).”
Yes, yes, yes, Gilliam is a very
important and busy person, though
that is counterintuitive to her claim
that she will indeed have the time to
devote to her Directorship, should
she win.
But, even worse than that, is her
presumptuousness when it comes
to the Journal, and Anza in general.
She admitted that she never reads
either of our two local newspapers,
but somehow she needs to be on the
Board at the Chamber of Commerce,
along with her “campaign manager,”
Megan Haley, and Phil Canaday, who
has been another outspoken critic of
the Cooperative’s broadband efforts.
I’ll have more to say on this in the
print edition, but for now, I’ll just say
that the Chamber, or at least half of it,
it seems, is working very hard to sully
the reputation of the Cooperative,
and specifically Kevin Short, all
because Phil Canaday didn’t get his
way.
“People in Anza don’t need that much
broadband,” Gilliam told me back in
June during a phone conversation.
Gilliam is content with her internet
provider, Wireless Internet Pro (also
an advertiser), and she thinks the rest
of us should be happy with them, too.
In fact, WIP’s owner, Mike Hansen,
sent out an email to his customers in
Anza (but not to me), urging them to
vote for both Gilliam and Thomas.
I find this highly interesting, given
that Hansen lives in Murrieta, and
has never, to my knowledge, been a
Cooperative member. I think we can
assume that Hansen has no interest
in any other issue the Cooperative
might be facing (and there are many),
but only his own personal stake in

371 to the downtown area on
Wednesday, July 1.
This first phase of the project will
allow for limited “beta testing” of
the system in the downtown area
in a few months.
“I’m already coming in under
budget,” said Kevin Short, AEC
General Manager, who has been
a tireless advocate of the project.
“The more I shop around for
equipment and contractors, the
more we’re finding some really
good deals,” he continued.
“The Board of Directors is very
happy with our progress, and
with the finances,” Short said.

The only place where
success comes before work
is in the dictionary
Michelle Wulfestieg
her message to the masses with
a book, “All We Have is Today,”
about her personal victories in the
face of serious health challenges
and the most dire diagnoses.
From her website:
“Michelle Wulfestieg had her first
stroke when she was eleven years
old, which led to the diagnosis
of a rare vascular brain lesion,
known as an Arteriovenous
Malformation (AVM), or a tangle
of blood vessels and arteries.
With no other options, she
underwent two very intense
forms of radiation, which caused
permanent paralysis to the right
side of her body. She had to learn
how to do everything with her left
hand as she mourned the loss
of all the activities she used to
be able to do – running, playing
sports, and just being a kid.
The plan was to have a third
radiation treatment, but the
doctors thought it would cause
more damage than good. Her
family explored all the options,
but in every scenario, the risks
outweighed the benefits, and if
they opted for traditional surgery,
the doctors said she probably
wouldn’t survive the operation.
So, at the age of fourteen, she
made the decision to live every
day to the fullest knowing that
she had a limited life expectancy.
In high school, she tried out for
volleyball and actually made the
team. Skipping her way around
the court to get the ball, Michelle
even learned to serve with one
hand. During college, she traveled
the world where she climbed the
Great Wall of China, saw the Taj
Mahal, and went on safari in
Africa. She then fell in love and
married her husband, Steven
Wulfestieg, who she met while
taking a Death & Dying class.
Michelle Wulfestieg - Great Wall
of ChinaHer experience in that
class led to a career in hospice
where Michelle has dedicated
her life to serving terminally ill
patients and their families.
It seemed she had outwitted
her short life sentence. Then,
on January 4, 2008, Michelle
suffered a second devastating
stroke. This time it nearly took
her life as she slipped into a
deep coma. The doctors didn’t
have much hope. They had no
choice but to surgically remove
the lesion that was lodged deep
inside her brain. Her family was
told that she may never wake up
and if she did, she would not be
able to walk, talk or see.
For eight days her family
waited. To the world, Michelle
was unresponsive, trapped by
an unyielding coma. But what
they didn’t see is that her spirit
had been transported to a place
of prayers, surrounded by God’s
light. The experience brought her
an overwhelming sense of peace,
giving her a comfort she had never
known. And then the miracle
of healing that she had been
praying for all her life happened.
Michelle awoke – free from the
lesion that had threatened to end
July 17, 2015
her life. Through this experience,
she learned that living and dying
are closely intertwined, and that
sometimes, we have to face our
own mortality before we can
appreciate just how precious
each moment is, because in the
end, all we have is today.
Now
recovered,
but
still
physically disabled, she is
the Executive Director of the
Southern California Hospice
Foundation,
a
non-profit
organization
dedicated
to
enhancing the lives of terminally
ill patients and their families.
Michelle is successful at fulfilling
final wishes for terminally ill
patients, including ones who
wished to meet their favorite
celebrities such as Harrison
Ford, Selena Gomez, Disney stars
Bella Thorne & Debby Ryan, Rob
Dyrdek, Tony Hawk, the Angels
Baseball team, Grammy award
winning music producer, John
Lowson, and astronaut, Danny
Olivas. She also worked with
Showtime Television for nearly
two years to help produce the
groundbreaking
documentary,
“Time of Death,” which aired in
November of 2013. Beyond that,
she is a motivational speaker and
a talented grant writer, effectively
receiving funding from Disney,
Nordstrom, and the Moyer
Foundation.”
Also at the Meeting:
Per bylaw requirements, the
Board will report on the financial
condition of the AEC, and
presentations on the general
direction of the business will be
made.
Also, prizes will be given out.
Don’t miss the yummy breakfast
served by the Thimble Club,
starting at 7:30 am. The meeting
gets underway by about 9 am.
Three seats on the AEC Board
of Directors come up for election
this year and the following
individuals

CHP Determines
Terwilliger Crash to be
Attempted Vehicular
Homocide
The CHP has confirmed in
an official report that the fatal
collision between local residents
Steven Rusing and William
Gibson, on June 8, was an act of
attempted vehicular homicide on
the part of Rusing.
The report was finalized in the
last week of June.
CHP
spokesperson
Darren
Meyer confirmed this with the
Journal in a phone conversation.
“It is highly rare,” Meyer said of
this kind of incident, “But it does
happen. In all of my years on the
CHP, I’ve rarely heard of it.”
When asked why the CHP needs
to make these determinations
in an accident, he replied, “For
many reasons, as the public
needs to know, and the families
involved usually want to know
what happened.
The Journal and the CHP were
doing concurrent investigations
at the time, and had interviewed
some of the same people who had
knowledge of the event, and the
relationship between Gibson and
Rusing.
Gibson,
who
sustained
permanent injuries in the crash,
has since maintained that there
was not necessarily a “feud”
between he and Rusing, but only
a minor disagreement over a
fencing job a few days earlier.
Gibson has also stated that the
accident was deliberately caused
by Rusing.
Gibson told the Journal that,
while he knew Rusing had tried
to cause the collision, he felt that
Rusing was not actually trying
to kill him, and that Rusing
probably didn’t realize he would
not survive the crash.
Rusing was driving a Saturn
sedan, and Gibson was in a
pickup truck.
The passenger
compartment of Rusing’s car was
crushed by the force of Gibson’s
truck going up and over the hood
in the collision, which resulted in
the death of Rusing. - Ed.

Donates Exterior
Paint Job to
Community Hall
The Anza Community Hall is
getting a new coat of exterior
paint, courtesy of local contractor
Jason Lundberg, along with his
son Dillon.
“We’re almost done, it’s going
to take us about another week,”
Jason said. “I’m pleased to be a
part of it. Really pleased. I love
Page 5
doing stuff for the community,”
he continued.
Lundberg has been a painting
contractor in the Valley for about
20 years, and has done hundreds
of painting jobs. He painted the
Dairy Queen twice, back when it
was owned by the Garrisons.
The materials were purchased
by the Hall. Thanks, Jason and
Dillon! - Ed.

Is the Anza Electric Coopertive the work of Satan?
See this side-by-side comparison of each organization’s
seven principles, and decide for yourself!
AEC:
1st Principle: Voluntary and open membership.
Cooperatives are voluntary organizations, open to
all people able to use its services and willing to
accept the responsibilities, without gender, social,
racial, political, or religious discrimination.
2nd Principle: Democratic member control.
Cooperatives are democratic organizations controlled by their members, one member-one vote,
who actively participate in setting their policies
and making decisions. Men and woman serving
as elected representatives are accountable to the
membership.
3rd Principle: Member economic participation. Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of their cooperative.
At least part of that capital is usually the common
property of the cooperative. Members allocate
surpluses for any or all of the following purposes: developing the cooperative, possibly by setting
up reserves, part of which at least would be indivisible; benefiting members in proportion to their
transactions with the cooperative; and supporting
other activities approved by the membership.
4th Principle: Autonomy and independence.
Cooperatives are autonomous, self-help organizations controlled by their members. If they enter
into agreements with other organizations, including governments, or raise capital from external
sources, they do so on terms that ensure democratic control by their members and maintain
their cooperative autonomy.
5th Principle: Education, training, and information. Cooperatives provide education and
training for their members, elected representatives, managers and employees so they can contribute effectively to the development of their co-
operatives. They inform the general public about
the nature and benefits of cooperation.
6th Principle: Cooperation among cooperatives. Cooperatives serve their members most
effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, national,
regional, and international structures.
7th Principle: Concern for community. While
focusing on member needs, cooperatives work for
the sustainable development of their communities
through policies accepted by their members.

Satanic Temple:
1) One should strive to act with compassion and
empathy towards all creatures in accordance with
reason.
2) The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and
institutions.
3) One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own
will alone.
4) The freedoms of others should be respected,
including the freedom to offend. To willfully and
unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is
to forgo your own.
5) Beliefs should conform to our best scientific
understanding of the world. We should take care
never to distort scientific facts to fit our beliefs.
6) People are fallible. If we make a mistake, we
should do our best to rectify it and resolve any
harm that may have been caused.
7) Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to
inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit
of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always
prevail over the written or spoken word.

“Trail Town” Concept Gets a Boost
from Supervisor Washington
A long-time vision of local resident Allison
Renck, the “Trail Town” idea is now gaining traction with the County of Riverside.
Trail Town advocates met with 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington and members of his
staff on ?? and pitched the idea.
Washington seemed to be receptive to the idea,
and has given his committment to look into how
his office can help implement the plan, by coordinating with local agencies and homeowners.
For instance, much of the land that has been set
aside throughout our area
Making Anza a Trail Town does offer economic
benefits in the form of tourism, but also can provide local equestrian enthusiasts with extra recreational opportunities, which has the potential to
BRE #00580498
increase desirability of locating in the area.

The group claims that Anza could become Cal- Sandi

fornia’s first “Trail Town,” if this becomes a reality.
Trail Town advocate Bob Giffin submitted his
summary of the idea to the County, and it is printed below.
“Vail Lake has all that acreage and trails, and we
could link to all of that if this goes through. It can
be a great asset to our community, and make our
area desirable for horse owners,” Giffin said.

the wireless internet market in our
area. Hansen is not a member of the
Chamber of Commerce, but that’s
because he can’t be, not being based
in the 92539 zip code.
Yet, Gilliam and Thomas are willing
to go to work for Hansen, should they
win a Directorship in the Cooperative.
Though Thomas’ rhetoric has been
much more reasonable, it is obvious
he and Gilliam have teamed up in this
election, and while the Journal thinks
he is of a much higher character than
Gilliam, the fact that he has teamed
up with Gilliam and Hansen tells us
that one of his very first decisions in
his political career was highly stupid.
And, that’s on top of the fact that
his wife, Jodi Thomas, writes for our
competitor, the Outlook, and has
penned a couple of - how shall I say it
- entirely biased articles about Short
and the Co-op about the broadband
effort.
(I really do hate to be critical of our
competitor, as it is quite gauche and
in bad form, but there simply is no
other way to write about this subject
without mentioning them. The
Outlook is a fine newspaper overall,
and a worthy competitor in this
market, and I’m glad they are there
because it takes some of the pressure
off of the Journal to cover everything
in our limited space.)
While Thomas is a capable and
affable person, he, too, had to admit
to me, under questioning, that he has
no idea what is going on at the Coop, because he never took the time
to educate himself about the Co-op.
He simply had no clue about the
actual business operations of the Coop, and obviously wasn’t interested
enough before his candidacy to take
the time to learn, or find out. Yet,
ironically, his major campaign issue
is “transparency.” Well, sure, but
how can you know there is lack of
transparency when you never tried
to gain any information in the first
place?
This same lack of interest in learning
about the Co-op is found with the
third candidate, Elena Mafla, though
at least Mafla is decidedly probroadband, thinks highly of Kevin
Short, as well as the rest of the Co-op,
and is only running because wants
to serve our community. Mafla is a
person of high character, and if a voter
feels the need to oust an incumbent,
the best choice, by far, is Mafla.
Of course, the incumbents are
doing just fine in their positions. The
Journal has never had one complaint
about either of them. Then again,
neither has Gilliam. Surprisingly,
after all the time on the phone, and
the emails, and everything else,
Gilliam has not said ONE WORD
about her opponent in this election,
Harold Burdick.
Instead, Gilliam is spending her
entire time campaigning against
Kevin Short, who is not an elected
official, but an employee, and she is
basing it on a handful of anecdotes,
misinformation,
a
“statistical
analysis” that would be laughed
out of any Statistics 101 class at any
Community College, and what can
only be described as an acute psychic
ability that magically adheres itself to
attorneys.
So, in closing, don’t vote for Gilliam.
She is the worst choice available, and
perhaps the worst choice ever, in the
history of the Cooperative.
[the addendum is as follows...]
There were other issues raised by
Gilliam that need to be addressed.
Deposits. Gillaim has told us that
she knows of a situation where the
wife of a Cooperative member was
told she would have to pay $350
to add her name to her husband’s
account.
Gilliam said she overheard this while
in the Cooperative one day, though
she admitted she did not inquire
further with that customer about the
details.
I brought this up with Short and
Katherine MacIver a few days later
when I was interviewing him, and

they both explained that such an
exorbitant deposit has never been
charged in such a situation.
Furthermore, the Cooperative has,
because of this practice of charging
deposits to new members, seen the
rate of uncollectible accounts drop
dramatically, by as much as 86% over
four years.
A few years ago, the Cooperative
was sitting on a mountain of unpaid
power bills, which cost the entire
membership money.
Thus, the
Cooperative instituted this deposit
program to protect its financial
situation. Every Director I spoke
with is in favor of this program.
But, then, how dare the Co-op
charge the spouse of the house any
kind of deposit when the other spouse
is already on the account? Well, Ms.
Gilliam, married couples have been
known to get divorced. Still, though,
anyone with good credit can avoid
being charged a deposit.
Lawsuits. I asked Gilliam if she was
planning on suing the Cooperative
over the alleged ballot improprieties.
Her response was, “Why should I tell
you?”
Well, you should tell me because
I’m a Cooperative member, but also
because I’m Journalist looking into
your candidacy. “Have you ruled it
out?” I asked. “I’m not ready to say
anthing,” was the reply.
“So, I’ll just jot down here that you
have not ruled it out.”
Of course, one would think that
Gilliam could have taken the
necessary steps to have a look at
the process of the Cooperative’s
independent election company that
counted the vote. But, as of yet, she
has not. I guess the “F” word is not as
concrete as implied.
However, she is convinced that the
May ballot referendum was “a fraud.”
Again, her reasoning was as follows:
“What I conclude from this
statistical analysis [sic] is that either
the signatures on the ballots were not
scrutinized like the petition signatures
were scrutinized or the ballot box was
stuffed by someone with the power to
know actual names and addresses of
people who could vote but did not
vote. It would be easy for one with
such knowledge and with access to
blank ballots to submit ballots for
member-owners who had not voted.
If one knows who typically votes by
having the information from prior
elections or even the information of
who voted in the existing election,
a dishonest person could submit
ballots for those people and vote yes
on the proposition to ensure that it
passes. Hypothetically, of course!”
Yes, hypothetically, all kinds of
things can happen, but I fail to see
how Short, or anyone at the Co-op,
it’s possible. But, hypothetically, it’s
possible that Short is the reincanation
of Mrs. Butterworths.
Annette: You can’t stuff the ballot
box unless you know you are the one
who will be counting the votes. The
checks-and-balances in the process
protect the membership.
Then again, perhaps Short and the
independent election company are
in kahoots. That’s hypothetically
possible too, but there simply is no
evidence of that, and Gilliam has
failed to show such evidence.
The vote is legit, folks! If it isn’t, I’ll
stand naked in Minor Park in January
and eat a stack of High Country
This insider photo of AEC General Manager Kevin Short standing next
to a corrupt spool of fiber optic cable was taken on July 6 by Ed Kohout.
Someone really needs to look into this troubling special relationship
between the Journal and the Co-op. The next thing you know, the Coop will be supplying reliable high-speed broadband internet service to the
Journal at low cost, earning them outlandish Capital Credits!
could know who didn’t vote before
the vote was counted. Perhaps Short
went around town, asking people
if they were going to vote, and then
rushed back to the office to stuff some
ballots - 800 of them! Hypothetically,

Eagles song.
Kohout’s Cozy and Secret Behindthe-Scenes Friendship with Kevin
Short.
Gilliam is sure that Kevin Short and
myself are old pals. It was news to
me, and to Kevin, but to the psychic
eye of Gilliam, it’s all true.
The fact is, I’ve never hung out with
Short, nor have I attempted to. My
only relationship with him is strictly
professional, and that’s only since I’ve
become the owner of the Journal.
But, I will say this: After this election,
I’m taking Short out for a beer.
It is true that Short is good friends
with the former owner of the Journal,
Steve Manseau, but I’m not privy to
the nature of that relationship, as I’ve
never really hung out with Manseau
until after I purchased the Journal.
(It involved beer as well. Shhhh!)
And, even after explaining to
Gilliam that I don’t have any kind of
friendship outside of my efforts with
the Journal, she still insinuated such
in our email exchanges:
“I am quite shocked that [Katherine
MacIver] wouldn’t give the information
[about Giliam’s own petition] to
the candidate but would give it to a
complete stranger – oh but you are not
a stranger to Kevin Short, are you? ; )”
(Yes, she even put the little winkie
face in there.) Uh, no, I run the
newspaper, and Short runs the Coop. Was I supposed to avoid him?
Here’s another:
“Since you are such good friends with
Kevin Short, perhaps you can ask
him if it is true that he removed my
campaign sign at the corner of Kirby
where it meets the 371.”
Such paranoia! Such projection!
Yep, it’s like talking to a bowling ball.
Once again, the reality that is
blowing through the windmills of
Gillian’s mind is the truth, and the
facts be damned. She knows all,
through osmosis, and that’s how she
knows the Co-op is pulling a “fraud”
on its membership.
But, it’s much worse. I met Short
once at an Anza Earth Day event
in 2011. He was at a booth, talking
about solar energy and other things
related to energy.
About a year later, I was invited to
a Chamber of Commerce “mixer” at

County Assessment
Roll is the Highest
Since 2008
Riverside County’s property
assessment roll has been valued
at $242.7 billion, a 5.78 percent
increase from last year and the
highest total assessment roll
since 2008, Assessor-County
Clerk-Recorder Peter Aldana
announced today.
“This is the third consecutive year
of growth and we are nearing our
peak assessment roll of $242.9
billion in 2008, a good indicator
of a steadily appreciating real
estate market,” Aldana said.
The assessment roll is based
upon assessed property values
in Riverside County. Factors
contributing to the increase
include year-over-year growth in
sales price in single-family homes
and all other real-estate sectors,
including
commercial
and
industrial properties, vacant land
and increased new construction.
Though home-sales volumes
fell from the prior year, median
home-sales
prices
increased
5.31 percent, from $280,000 to
$295,000. The increases came
between December 2013 and
December 2014, according to
statistics from CoreLogic, a real
estate information services firm.
The number of tract-map
recordings and permits issued
are rising, signs that housing
and
commercial
markets
continue to improve. And an
upswing in new construction
for residential and commercial
properties demonstrates overall
improvement in the economy in
general.
“By any measure – whether real
estate prices, new construction,
employment, or population –
Riverside County clearly is one
of the fastest growing counties in
the state,” Aldana said.
Under California’s Prop. 8,
assessed values can be lowered
temporarily if recession or other
factors reduce a property’s value
below its Prop. 13 value on Jan.
1 of each year. As economic
recovery
increases
market
value,
valuations
previously
lowered because of Prop. 8
must be increased to match the
subsequent upswing. In those
cases, property-tax increases are
allowed to exceed the standard 2
percent annual cap set by Prop.
13. This year’s Prop. 13 annual
inflation cap, as determined by the
California Consumer Price Index,
is 1.998 percent. For property
owners whose assessments were
not reduced because of Prop. 8,
assessed values will increase by
this inflation factor.
Despite the assessment roll’s
increase,
many
properties
remain well below peak values
and changes in the real-estate
market can affect subsequent
assessed values. Aldana said
his office continues to review
individual properties for potential
changes in value, which can
affect property taxes. The review
is a critical process in completing
the assessment roll. Property
owners
whose
assessment
increases under Prop. 8 will
receive a notice from Aldana in
their regular 2015-2016 tax bills,
which will be sent in October
by Treasurer-Tax Collector Don
Kent.
Beginning in mid-July, Riverside
County property owners will be
able to view their 2015-16 roll
value online at www.riversideacr.
com. Properties can be searched
by address or parcel number.
(The attached file includes a full
report on assessed values in cities
and unincorporated areas, as
well as historic data on assessed
values in Riverside County.)
Property owners who disagree
with their property’s assessed
value may file a free declinein-value
application
online.
Applications are due by Nov. 2
and are available at:

Property
owners
disputing
the value set by the Assessor’s
office may file an appeal with
the Riverside County Clerk of
the Board until Nov. 30. An

assessment is available on the

Water Aware
Reports from the Anza Groundwater Association
Understanding Your
On-site Water Resources
Submitted by Marea Stinnett
If you live in Rural Anza, have your
own well and a piece of land, not only
are you the steward and operator of
your own water system, you live in
your own mini-watershed.
Understanding your on site water
resources is an important factor
in managing and maximizing the
water that is used on site. Effectively
assessing those resources begins with
looking at all sources of water that
enter and in some cases, leave your
mini-water shed. Sources include,
well water or tap water, rain water,
grey water.
Through observation
and thoughtful planning, water can
be conserved both inside and outside
the home, reducing water use out of
the well or tap and wisely using grey
water and rain water.
Greywater is defined, according
to California’s plumbing code as
wastewater generated from bathroom
sinks, showers, tubs and washing
machines. Greywater can be used
to irrigate ornamental plants, trees,
vineyards and orchards. Greywater
has chemicals and bacteria in it, so
make sure irrigation is underground
or under mulch to keep it safely away
from people and pets. Greywater
should be used on your property
avoiding run off to the street or your
neighbors’ property. Avoid spraying
and storing greywater.
Using
greywater is legal in California under
Chapter 16 of the CA plumbing
code. For more information on
the use of greywater, refer to http://
greywateraction.org/requirementsfor-no-permit-systems-in-california/
or contact the County of Riverside
for specific local ordinances. The
Laundry-to-Landscape system is the
simplest, most cost-effective, and
does not require a building permit,
making it an excellent place to start!

dailyacts.org/laundry-landscapesystem-overview
Around the globe, rainwater has
been collected, stored and harvested
throughout human history, for
domestic and agricultural use. It is
naturally distilled being both pure
and soft water. In addition, rainwater
contains both sulfur and nitrogen
making it a natural fertilizer and it is
free! We have moved away from using
rainwater in the last 150 years in favor
of using technology to pump and
transport large volumes of water. We
have designed entire communities to
drain water away from our properties
and out to the street. The use of
impervious materials like concrete
and asphalt speed up the movement
of rainwater out of an area and do not
allow the water to infiltrate into the
ground.
Rainwater harvesting can be done
on any property by channeling runoff
through “earthworks” into the soil, or
capturing runoff from roofs or other
hard surfaces to be stored in cisterns.
Earth works are recessed, mulched
planted basins where water collects
and is utilized in the soil. Cisterns
can be anything from a barrel to
large tanks made of plastic, metal or
concrete, allowing access to running
water during dry spells. To develop a
rainwater harvesting plan and water
budget for your property, begin with
thoughtful observation of your miniwatershed starting at the top or high
point of the property and work your
way down. Notice how the water
flows, where it starts and where it
ends up. Identify areas where erosion
occurs and where water puddles and
collects. Rainwater can be slowed
down, spread out, directed into
mulched recessed basins to grow
shade trees, fruit trees, gardens,
native vegetation etc. When creating
mulched recessed basins, plant
the water first. The soil should be
amended so that it absorbs water well
and use mulch. It is recommended
to use native or drought tolerant
plants when possible. Trees and fruit
trees can also be planted just outside
the basins so their roots can find the
water but they don’t stay wet. Do not
create earthworks basins less than
10 ft from the house. Supplemental
watering may be needed during the
hottest months depending upon
what is planted. If runoff is swift
flowing and erosion is present, there
are developed methods to slow down
and spread out the water. The key
is the slower the water moves, the
more it soaks into the ground where
it is stored in the soil. For more
information see resources below
and look into a series of books from
author Brad Lancaster, Rainwater
Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond,
Volumes 1,2 & 3.
Finding ways to reduce water use
is imperative during this time of
California’s deepening mega drought.
There are simple suggestions to
start reducing water usage. Below
are charts showing the average
household water use. Indoor water
use is approximately 80-100 gallons
per person per day. The largest
amount of household water is used to
flush the toilet, followed by bathing.
Replacing an older toilet that uses 3.5
to 5 gallons of water per flush with
a newer “low-flow” toilet using 1.6
gallons will save over 3,000 gallons
per person, per year.
“Low flow”
toilets were introduced in 1994 and
now there are highly efficient toilets
that use even less water. Another
simple modification that saves up to
40% of water involves replacing your
shower head with a low flow shower
head that uses 2gpm. There are
many new brands of dishwashers and
washing machines that are designed
to minimize water use. Household
leaks can waste more than 10,000
gallons of water per year. For this
reason it is important to repair leaky
faucets and toilets. If you are on a
septic system a dripping faucet can
saturate a septic’s leach field and cost
thousands of dollars to replace. T
There are many ways to cut water
use without replacing fixtures and
appliance. Turn the water off when
you brush your teeth or shave, taking
shorter showers, including only full
loads of laundry and dishwasher and
not leaving the water running when
doing dishes or defrosting frozen
foods.
Data varies some between sources,
but generally outdoor water use
makes up 30% to 50% of the average
California household. This number
may be higher in some cases in a rural
area where properties are on acreage.
Here are some ways to conserve
water outdoors. Plant native plants
or choose plants that need less water.
Once established, these plants require
little water. Group plants together
based upon their water needs to
create “hydrozones” so that areas can
be watered according to their specific
needs. Maintain healthy soils, adding
organic matter and aerating soil can
improve its ability to hold water.
Apply 2-4 inches of mulch in and
around gardens, shrubs and trees.
Mulch reduces evaporation, holds
moisture in the soil and can reduce
watering needs by 20% or more. Other
ideas include reducing grass areas,
planting drought tolerant varieties or
replacing grass with drought tolerant
ground covers, bunch grasses or using
gravel or decorative bark. Another
water saving idea includes avoiding
watering during the heat of the day.
For most residents in the Anza
Valley, the cost of water is the cost
of the electricity to pump it. It is
difficult to tell exactly how much
electricity is used for the well as well
depth, pump condition, and the

a private home in Anza. (I was not
a Chamber member at the time, but
knew the Chamber President.) Short
was there, and I approached him,
and congratulated him on becoming
General Manager of the Co-op.
He kindly said thanks, and then
purposely avoided me the rest of the
evening. (I tend to get that because I
look like a cross between Jerry Garcia
and Charles Manson.) How did I
know about Kevin Short? I followed
his writings in the High Country
Journal! (Yes, I used to read the
paper, unlike some people.)
Refrences. I asked Gilliam if she
could give me a few references to
contact about her past professional
life. After all, Gilliam is basically
unknown in this community, unlike
Mafla and Thomas.
Her response? “No, go look up my
name on the internet. There are
plenty of documents out there with
my name on them.”
Well, that’s all fine, but my inquiry
was about whether she could name
anyone who would support her own
character claims about herself.
Apparently, that was too much to
ask. No character references were
given to the Journal.
“I was the one who told Short he
needed to change the bylaws.”
Uh, no, no, no! The Board of
Directors, and Short, were well aware
that the bylaws needed to be changed
years ago, according to everyone I’ve
talked to. The proof of this is that
the Co-op had sought guidance from
other Cooperatives a long time ago
concering the fiber build-out, which
as Gilliam knows (or should know)
is more than just about setting up
internet services for members. It was
first and foremost about upgrading
the Co-op’s internal communication
systems, both in the office and
throughout the distribution network.
The Co-op had to do this upgrade to
accomodate the newer “smartgrid”
technology that is required to
accomodate the introduction of
renewables.
“In closing, I think you should
think about what you are saying
about me. Accusing me of actual
intentional fraud is certainly
defamation. Do you really want to
go down that path?”
YES. Oh, if I had a nickel for every
attorney, HOA director, and person
I’ve written about who threatened
to sue me, or intimidate me, I’d be
able to have a second home in Palm
Desert.
For Gilliam to think she can toss
out the “F” word any ol’ time when it
comes to one of the most upstanding
members of our community, but that
she herself is above her own standard,
is, arrogant and careless.
Oh, come on Ed, can’t you say
anything nice about the person?
Surely! Gilliam has obviously been
quite successful in her professional
life, and is intelligent.
She earned a BS in physics, and a
JD. She worked for NASA, and then
as an attorney for SCE. She has an
excellent track record with the Bar.
She loathes puppy mills, which is
quite excellent, and has a fine kennel
business that raises quality pups.
She was also smart enough to snag
a $520,000 home for $240,000 in a
short sale in 2013.
She has a lot to be proud of when it
comes to her life’s work.
Yet, given the whole conniption of
her campaign for the AEC Board, she
is not the kind of person we need on
the Co-op’s Board of Directors. If it
was up to me, I wouldn’t let her in the
parking lot.
Megan Haley’s Replies
[July 13] Please read my response
to this [Journal] article below, which
has been sent to the HCJ and the
Outlook:
Anza Community Members,
I have not nor have ever been involved
with Annette Gilliam’s campaign
seeking office with the AEC. Mr.
Kohout states in his recent article,
“She admitted that she never reads
either of our two local newspapers,
but somehow she needs to be on the
Board at the Chamber of Commerce,
along with her “campaign manager,”
Megan Haley, and Phil Canaday,
who has been another outspoken
critic of the Cooperative’s broadband
efforts. Mr. Kohout is mistaken in his
assertion that I am involved with her
campaign.
It is true that Ms. Gilliam and I
are neighbors on adjoining parcels,
do serve on the board of directors
for the Anza Valley Chamber of
Commerce and have
previously purchased
property from her, these
are all that we have in
common with each

other. Mr. Kohout’s claims that the
Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce,
myself, Ms. Gilliam and Mr. Canaday
are out to “sully the reputation of the
Cooperative, and specifically Kevin
Short, all because Phil Canaday didn’t
get his way” as he misrepresented are
complete malarkey and made-up
untruths.
It is true that I did sign my name
twice to Ms. Gilliam’s petition for
office as I was unaware of the one
account = one vote rule with the
AEC, my mistake. This mistake was
in no way meant to be a fraudulent
attempt at gaining more signatures
for Ms. Gilliam’s campaign but a
simple mistake, nothing else.
I am available for comments and
questions during my business hours
of M-F from 7:30 am - 5 pm.
- Megan Haley
to which the High Country Journal
replied:
Thank you for the clarifications,
Megan Haley. It’s fair to think that
you made a simple mistake, but not
before this question is answered: were
you encouraged by anyone to sign
twice? If so, who? Was it someone
whew knew you had more than one
service with the Co-op?
It should be stated here that, of the
100+ letters of support the Cooperatve
received from local businesses and
institutions, for the sole purpose of
encoraging the Cooperative to seek
pre-approval of a ~2 million dollar
grant for the building of a broadband
network, the Chamber of Commece
stood alone (or nearly alone) in
not granting such support. We did
discuss this on the phone about
three months ago, and you explained
why the majority of Chamber Board
members decided to not grant such
a letter, that being the Cooperative
would not share their internal
financial documentation. In essence,
such an action of non-support is
not an active campaign *against*
the Cooperative, but the question
does arise: Did Gilliam, at that point,
convince you to vote no on that letter
of support, or was it both Canaday
and Gilliam, or did you make up your
own mind? It was shortly thereafter
that Gilliam decided to run for office,
so, is it wrong to assume the issue has
discussed often between Chamber
Board members, either in or out of
session? Or, have you and Gilliam
not discussed this at all? Gilliam, a
former IOU attorney, expressed her
dislike that she was not allowed to
have internal documents when Short
July 17, 2015
was seeking Chamber support, even
though such information is needs to
remain internally private, for obvious
reasons, and you cited that very
reason for why the Chamber refused
that letter of support.
Finally, one major question remains:
Do you now support the Gilliam
campaign, and agree with her
contentions of “fraud,” ballot box
stuffing, comparing Kevin Short’s
efforts in the May referendum to
racist vote rigging in the South, the
contention that Short is not qualified
to do his job, and so on?
Thanks in advance, Ed.
to which Megan Haley replied:
What and who I support is of no
significance to this article, nor is it
needed to be public information. As I
clearly stated the decision to sign twice
on the petition was my mistake and I
have more than taken responsibility
for it in this public domain. You are
incorrect in your version of events
between the Chamber and the AEC.
I would encourage you to reread your
own article quoting me in that the
Chamber didn’t feel it had enough
information and had too many
unanswered questions to support the
AEC’s endeavors in the connect anza
project. It had nothing to do with
internal documentation as you have
mentioned. The Chambers decision
at that time was a united one in
which the majority voted and made
the decision not to support AEC’s
project. Individual votes in this
process are irrelevant. As a previous
Chamber member you always had
the option to visit one of our board
meetings to see the process in action.
I would encourage you to renew your
membership and express your views
as a voting Chamber member if you
want to have more say in what the
Chamber decides to act upon in the
community.
to which the Journal replied:
Thank you again, Megan, but
this raises more questions than it
answers. According to Gillian, it
had everything to do with internal
documentation from the Co-op not
being shown to her, and the rest of
the Chamber, on her schedule. That
was her one sticking point. I have
her quoted more than once saying
so. “Kevin [Short] could have signed
a ‘non-disclosure agreement’ with us
[meaning the Chamber], and showed
us the accounting, but he refused.”
So, now I’m getting two different
stories from two directors who
were at the same meeting.
Yes, it is very important, at

this juncture, given that you are the President of
the Chamber, and a close colleague of Gilliam’s,
and because you both represent the Chamber, to
tell us where you stand on those elements of her
candidacy. It is obvious that Gilliam’s candidacy
arose directly out of her experience on the Chamber
and the Cooperative. Also, I understand that the
Cooperative has withheld its own membership
dues for 2015 because of all of this.
Let me remind you that Gilliam has touted in much
of her campaign material that she is on the Board of
of the Chamber; if its presiding officer refuses
to articulate her positions on these critical
local matters to the local newspaper? Or, is
“transparency” just a one-way street when it comes
to the Chamber? Please - I just need to make sense
of all of this. It’s not personal. I’m just trying to do
my job. -Ed.
In Closing
Co-op’s membership in mind.
Cooperative members will be enjoying the
benefits of Short’s many efforts for decades to
come. And while nobody’s perfect, the Journal has
to stand up for the good people in this community,
just as much as we have to call out the bad people.
For anyone to challenge Short’s integrity the way
Gilliam has is astoundingly ignorant. To base a
campaign on it is astoundingly asinine. ••
All of this confusion with Haley could have been
avoided if she had called me back. I phoned her
on July 7 and July 12, but she refused to respond,
and admitted so after the fact.
What was I supposed to think, other than that she
was hiding something?
If the issue wasn’t that serious, and there was a
simple explanation, then why did she not just pick
up the phone and say so? I would have definitely
given her the benefit of the doubt, as I’ve never
seen anything but good things from Haley. I’m
glad she is on the Board of Education. I’m glad

To participate you must bring fresh, homegrown, pesticidefree produce, preserved foods, eggs, honey or fresh home-baked

generous and very fair. Items will be weighed in or counted for
record keeping purposes. Bring your own grocery bag or basket. No
cash, as no items may be sold or reserved.
To get started, each person at the swap is handed a playing card,
and beginning with the aces, swappers choose whichever item they
like. Once each person gets a turn, the rest is up for grabs, though
people don’t grab. They peruse and chat, gardening advice and
recipes are enthusiastically exchanged.
Please be timely, we will start promptly at 5:30 with sign ins,
swapping starts at 5:45 and this moves quickly.
