Wayne Grajczyk, a Veterans Outreach
Specialist, and Don Sutton, a Transient
Patient Advocate, will be at the Community
Hall in Anza on Saturday, May 16,
during the Swap Meet. They will provide
information on VA Benefits ranging from
medical benefits to counseling services,
along with the VA claim process.
Wayne Grajczyk is the principal outreach
staff member for the Temecula Vet
Center. The Center provides readjustment
counseling services to eligible veterans
and their family members that are seeking
treatment ranging from Post-Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) to marriage
counseling along with bereavement. Vet
Centers guide Veterans and their families
through many of the major adjustments
in lifestyle that often occur after a Veteran
separates from the military.
Don Sutton is involved with the Patient
Advocacy Program, and is a VA employee who
is specifically designated at each Veterans
Health Administration (VHA) facility to
manage the feedback from veterans and
their family members who receive care at
VHA facilities and clinics. The VA wants to
provide an option so that veterans can go
to this individual with their concerns and
receive care in a timely manner.

The High Country Journal’s
Advice to Formerly Young People
1) Don’t join Scientology.
2) Don’t join the AARP either. You’re already complaining enough!
Open Letter to Anza Electric Cooperative Members
Dear Cooperative Members,
As we begin the election process for our ConnectAnza fiber optic internet
project, I want to thank you all for the opportunity to provide this service
for our community. I have personally had the chance to speak with
hundreds of our members that are excited and eager for their first chance
to experience what high quality internet service is all about.
Your democratically elected Board of Directors has unanimously
supported our plan to provide true broadband speed internet service for
our members, at a competitive price, with the highest available speeds,
reliability, and connectivity available with today’s technology. This ability to
promote economic development for our area, as supported by grant money
from the California Public Utilities Commission’s California Advanced
Services Fund, will provide new jobs and opportunities for everyone. It
is well documented that communities with broadband connectivity are
far better off economically than those without. We are about to become a
connected community.
Our entire service territory will be served, including Anza, Aguanga,
Pinyon, Mountain Center, and Garner Valley. While we cannot build the
network all at once, our goal is to have a significant portion functioning
by year’s end. This ambitious goal will require a lot of work on our part;
we plan to have 25% of the system working by the end of 2015, and at least
75% by the end of 2016. Expectations are high, and we intend to deliver
what we promise.
Rural communities like ours have long been ignored and neglected by
the giant telecommunications carriers, due to our low density housing and
low rate of return for their systems. However, Anza Electric’s ConnectAnza
program will allow us to FINALLY build our own high speed network that
everyone in our community will benefit from, because the members of
our cooperative will own this network. Member ownership allows for the
lowest possible cost of operation, while returning capital credit money
to those participating. Taking the profit away from the monopolies and
putting it back in the hands of our membership guarantees that we can
remain independent and self-reliant.
Please join with us and vote YES for ConnectAnza.
Sincerely,
Kevin M. Short
General Manager, Anza Electric Cooperative, Inc.
Letter to the Editor:
While fiber optics is a very good thing, the people of the Mountain
Communities need to know that the intended plans of the Co-op will
NOT bring most of you fiber optics for MANY MANY years – up to 10
years for some. But more importantly, their initial plan is to become the
4th wireless provider in the communities using the very same frequencies
that are already overcrowded. This will IMMEDIATELY DEGRADE
EVERYONE’S INTERNET TO NEAR UNUSABLE SPEEDS. The Co-op
simply will not be able to deliver the wonderful high speeds they intend,
because all the users signals will interfere with each other due to lack of
frequencies available.
You may have heard that sometimes the problem with your wireless
performance is that during peak usage, the system is too congested to
deliver good speeds. Many of you have heard that one of the three current
wireless providers has stopped taking new customers. This is because of
the congestion on the frequencies. And there is very little that can be done
to relieve this congestion. Logic says that this is yet another reason why
fiber optics is good for everyone here, right? Yes, it is. However, the Coop’s initial plans are not to bring fiber to the home, it’s only to bring more
wireless. On the same congested frequencies. To congest them more. For
those of you who understand radio transmissions, you know that only one

Chiropractor from the Las Vegas area.
Both have been outspoken critics of HOA’s,
and between them have spent decades
studying the various issues homeowners
face in HOA’s, from legal issues to the

of people have suffered due to HOA abuses.
From the Amazon.com page:
“After
years of observing and speaking with
homeowners who had been harassed and
abused by their HOA, Professor Solomon
fathered, defined and popularized “HOA
Syndrome,” a psychiatric Anxiety Disorder

in longitudinal stress.
“HOA
Syndrome”
is
characterized
by a cluster of signs and symptoms–
psychophysiological indicators–such as:
Anger; fatigue; anxiety; depression, to
name a fe -and emotional, psychological
and physical illnesses.
“Professor Solomon refuses to produce
income from his investigations, research
and publications. He wants no claim by
anyone saying that he produced income
off the backs of unconscionable tragedies
inflicted by HOAs. He is available to consult
as an expert witness on various HOA

Anza Electric Cooperative to
Hold Community Forum on
“ConnectAnza” - May 2
The AEC will be asking local stakeholders
to consider a plan to implement Broadband
Internet service to their local customer
base.
One more public forum will be held on
Saturday, May 2, at 3 pm, at the Anza
Community Hall, 56630 Hwy 371, Anza.
The Special election will be held in May to
amend the bylaws that now limit the Coop’s mandate to providing electrical service
only. Ballots will be sent to members via
the “Currents” news magazine, and are due
in by May 22.
AEC is seeking funding from California
state grants, bypassing the Federal route.
The Co-op has also restructured some
existing debt to save interest expenses, and
hopes to use this money to build this new
broadband network.

commentary.

Local Jewelry Designer Opens Boutique in Warner Springs
[ANZA, CA] Local Jewelry Designer and Artist Sacha Hope of Heartstone Handmade has opened a small boutique at Emerald Creek Winery
on HWY 79 South in Warner Springs, CA. “This wonderful new winery
venue is such an asset to our little community. Bringing the artisan wines
and rustic feel of the old country, my local boutique items just seemed a
perfect fit.” Said Mrs. Hope. “They just released their new line of reds,
and I was probably one of the first pours. This winemaker is going to be
winning awards! They have time to talk with you about the wines and
vineyard, and they even give specialty tours of the beautiful 750 acres.”
Partnered with local Artist Stephanie Rae Brande, the ladies are selling
artwork, jewelry, hand painted wine glasses, old barn wood signs and
much more. They have been vendors for a few years now locally, this is
the first brick and mortar location for their artwork.
The decades-long dream of owner Dr. Rao Anne to go back to his roots
of being a farmer led him to purchase the 750-acres in Warner Springs,
California.
This location was selected after researching other areas such as Santa
Barbara, Paso Robles, Sonoma and Napa after he learned that premium wine grapes were being cultivated in Temecula and portions of San
Diego.
The Dameron Valley area of Warner Springs, at the Riverside County
Line, was chosen over Temecula because of the abundant supply of pristine water included in the underground aquifer water rights. The Doctor
was aware that this chlorine-free, low-salinity water would prove to be a
major contribution to the production of premium wines.
Dedicated to producing quality premium wines also led the Doctor to
search for a winemaker that had the talent and experience to oversee the
production of the finest artisan wines to come from the estate grapes and
he found that artistic quality in Michael Tingley.
At Emerald Creek Winery they are dedicated to creating premium artisan wines which begin with the gifts granted from Mother Earth. Starting
with mineral rich soil they carefully nurture their grapevines allowing
them to produce only the finest quality of grapes.
They are passionate about the old world artisan winemaking style from
the hands-on meticulous harvesting techniques to fermentation and
finishing with a careful aging process that results in the premium wines
they make.
As they constantly strive for perfection in their wines they also want
to create a unique and fulfilling experience for each and every visitor
who comes to their winery. Their vision is to offer an inviting place that
provides guests a place to tour vineyards and property as well as enjoy a
relaxing atmosphere in which to sample wines.
They take great pride in being the stewards of this land and the bounty that it produces for us; both in the vineyards as well as in the natural
pristine environment which surrounds them.
When you visit Emerald Creek Winery be sure to call or email their
tasting room in advance to insure that your tour and tasting will include
some conversation with Mike. He is always happy to contribute toward
making your experience an unforgettable one.
The entire team at Emerald Creek Winery looks forward to serving
each and every visitor in a manner that will make you want to stay there
forever.
Emerald Creek Winery is located at 38642 Hwy 79, Warner Springs, CA
92086. Their phone number is 951-767-1391 The tasting room is open
from 11am to 5pm Thursday thru Sunday and open for sunset viewing
and tasting on Friday, Saturday and Saturday until 8pm with live music.

Lawnmower Races Open 2015 Season
By Ed Kohout
The answer is, of course, “C”! That “area man,”
Don Watson, was back on the track at this season’s first Lawnmower Races event, held behind
Diner 371 on April 25.
It was a rainy and overcast day, and the track
was a bit muddy, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the 13 racers who showed up to take on the
dirt oval.
Racers came from
as far away as San Diego and Escondido to
challenge the local diehards.
These guys and gals
make it look easy, but
there’s a lot of work
that goes into modifying and beefing up a
riding lawnmower to
get it race-ready.
And even then, pushing such a machine to
the limit can have unforseen consequences.

But that’s all part of the game - meeting
the challenge of mechanics and drivership.
Mowers can reach speeds of over 35
MPH, thus this is a serious business.
The end result is that everybody appears
to be having a great time. There’s a spirit
of comaraderie between racers, and a real
dedication to the sport of it.
The next event will be held on May 30,
with sign-ups starting at 10 am and the
green flag at about 11 am.
Spectating is free, and everyone is encouraged to tailgate on the east, north,
and south sides of the track, located behind Diner 371 just east of downtown
Anza.
If anyone wants to mosey around the pit, passes
are a whopping one dollar.
For futher information, contact Don Watson at
818-384-2636, or [email protected].
It should be noted that Watson is a tireless advocate of the Anza Valley community. The Journal only pokes fun at best, and we salute Don for
all he’s done over the years. ••

Health Insurance?
I’m So Confused!
Submitted by Charise Karjala
If you are one of the many Americans who are
confused, suspicious, angry and resigned to the
whole ‘health care reform’ initiative, you are not
alone. Millions of our countrymen feel the same
way, but are dealing with their experience in
different ways.
Please forgive me, but I am a heath insurance
broker (please don’t throw tomatoes at me),
which means I represent almost every carrier
that provides every health insurance product
from cradle to grave. It also means that I’m in
the middle of this huge change. I guide and
assist people in making smart, well informed,
appropriate and affordable choices.
Putting politics aside, this ‘Obamacare’ (also
known as the Affordable Care Act) has created
opportunities for our community members to be
protected against the financial disaster that comes
along with health catastrophes. For as little as a
dollar a month, I have tens of clients who can
sleep easier at night knowing that if something
really crummy happens (like a car wreck on the
371, for example), at least they won’t lose their
home or savings in bankruptcy. The statistics
on the financial consequences of accidents and
illness consistently indicate that over 70% of
ALL personal bankruptcies are from uninsured
health care costs. Financial protection is only one
reason to participate and embrace Obamacare
or the ACA (you pick what you want to call it),
however.
I hear many people say that they don’t need
health insurance because they don’t really have
any assets to take away, and the hospital can’t turn
them away in an emergency so, really why bother
with the whole thing. I totally get this argument.
On the surface, it looks like its a big waste of
time to even worry about getting coverage if you
don’t go to the doctor, don’t have medications,
and really are pretty healthy. I understand
completely. However, when you look at the long
term consequences for the health care providers,
its very sad and scary.
Lets give a true story to demonstrate. An
otherwise healthy middle aged male experiences
abdominal pain that, because of no insurance,
is ignored until the apendix bursts. He loses
consiousness and now has to be evacuated to the
closest trauma center (cost 20,000$ by the way
because we live on the Hill). He is now septic
(chronically infected throughout his body) and
requires in hospital IV treatment for two weeks.
Total cost: $200,000.00.
Our patient doesn’t have coverage and is left
with huge bills that obviously he and his family
cannot pay so of course they don’t and he probably

declares bankruptcy (that’s how the 70% gets so
high). So, how does the surgeon get paid? He
doesn’t. How about the anesthesiologist? Nope.
The helicopter company? Nope. Sure the nurses
and hospital staff still get their paychecks, but
the guys and gals that saved the patient’s life
don’t. Do we really want to thank the people
who were responsible for saving our lives by not
paying them? Would we do that to our plumber,
locksmith, butcher, or electrician? Probably not.
But that’s the system we have: if you don’t have
insurance, the very person you need won’t get
paid. Its that simple. That’s the sad part.
Here’s the scary part: what happens in a system
where highly trained individuals can make
more driving a truck than saving lives? They
exit the system and they are no longer there for
us when when we need them. Or they die, like
several doctor’s in my close network have done
from suicide or heart failure. Or they just close
their doors because its not a viable business any
more. So, we then become left with providers
that are burnt out or come to surgery with
undesirable skills. The entire health care system
depends upon our fellow Americans being paid a
reasonable amount for the work they love to do
which keeps us productive and alive. The system
needs everyone of us to step up to the plate and
not drain the coffers. And for some of us it willl
cost us a dollar a month. Or less.
How do we do that? My answer is simple:
participate. Ask questions. Call the Riverside
County human services department for MediCal. Contact CoveredCA and ask them some
questions. Dial 1 800 MEDICARE and see
if that’s what you need to do. The library has
computers you can use to to to www.coveredca.
com to ennroll in medi-Cal if you need to. Or,
hey, call me. We can have a quick chat and I’ll
bring you into the loop because that’s what I do:
help people navigate this quagmire of quasigovernmental agencies, insurance companies,
HMO’s, IPA’s, PPO’s, LMNOP’s (thats not really
one of the acronyms), etc. I don’t bite and I don’t
have politics. I just help.
Get involved. The confusing part is not knowing.
The scary part for all of us is not doing anything.

LRE Part 4: High Drama, or Low Comedy?
by Ed Kohout
It’s election time at LRE!
Two Board seats are open, and five people
have applied to be candidates: Steve Redler
(incumbent), Kelly Walters (past President),
Michael Esposito, Virginia Moore, and Lorraine
Jeanes.
Jeanes applied, but was denied candidacy by the
Board Secretary Mary Lee because she has $1,200
in fines on her account that were the brain-child
of the Board Secretary Mary Lee. See how that
works, folks? More on those fines later, but first
some BREAKING NEWS...
The Journal learned on Wednesday that Moore
was also discluded from being a candidate due to
some language in the CC&R’s.
This is interesting, because Moore is the person
that the Journal identified as “Chris” in the March
edition’s story called “Utopia Thugged.”
In that installment, we told the story of how
“Chris” was physically assaulted at Board meeting,
and how the Journal tried to find out who the
individual was that allegedly did the assaulting.
Briefly, Moore was holding a cell phone and
recording the ballot counting that was going on,
as this Board meeting was also a recall election
of Lorraine Jeanes. The assailant then grabbed
Moore and forcefully bent her arm and tried to
wrestle the phone out of her hand.
Moore suffered an injury in this assault, and had
to visit a doctor.
Luckily, I was at that meeting, and had taken
pictures of this person who allegedly did the
assault.
She was eventually identified as a LRE
homeowner named Irene Park, a retired public
school teacher who makes her main residence in
Thousand Oaks, CA.
As it turns out, Park owns the home that Mary
Lee lives in, and presumably pays rent on.
Lee is married, but she and her husband live in
separate residences, on either side of Highway
371.
Park has two children of note. One is an
entertainer that has a good career in South Korea.
The other was once on trial for murder.
That daughter is named “Kelly Soo Park,” and
was once prosecuted for the murder of a young
starlett in Santa Monica named Juliana Redding.
The case was somewhat notorious, and in the
news in LA for some time. Though Kelly Park
was eventually acquitted of the murder charge,
the case was featured on an episode of “48 Hours,”
a CBS news magazine.
See: tinyurl.com/48hrspark
The murder took place in 2008, and it took
detectives about three years to finally match DNA
evidence found at the scene to Kelly Park.
She was charged, but managed to bail out somehow coming up with 3.5 million dollars.
Apparently, her boss, Dr. Munir Uwaydah, who
was romantically involved with the victim, was
a quite wealthy physician; he fled to his native
Lebanon at the same time Kelly Park was arrested,
and has not returned to the USA since.
The prosecution alleged that Kelly Park was a sort
of “hit man” for Uwaydah, who had extensive real
estate dealings. Kelly Park, some have alleged,
would strong-arm people who were posing issues
for Uwaydah.
Others called her an “enforcer.” She is quite
a large woman, and would be dispatched to
intimidate other women. Allegedly, of course!
During this time, Kelly Park became romantically
invoved with a soon-to-be-retired Oxnard, CA

from the get go, we in the automotive field are
going bald almost daily one hair at a time trying
to find the best parts for the customers.
We don’t read labels but rely on time proven
durability on what we CAN maybe buy. Most
mechanics don’t give a rats arse what they put
on but some do...the same should go for you, Mr.
DIY guy, did you (while on the tranny subject)
know that there are AT LEAST 10 different kinds
of transmission fluids now?
I think not, just because it’s red doesn’t mean you
can dump it in. Also, coolant has more relatives
that are not related in any way -- also, again just
because it’s green doesn’t mean it’s right.
Now we our a people based on colors of
chemicals we really know nothing about except
the price tag. It’s like putting Tabasco sauce on
pancakes... ••
Ever
checked
your
transmission fluid lately?
Probably not, because the
worthless book that came
with the car says you don’t
need to. BS! Gonna be a lot
of this so edit viewers from
your screen....
First, there is no such thing as “lifetime” fluid.
Period, end of subject, period period. Most
all fluids are synthetic now that do last longer,
protect better, yadayada, but do break down over
time with contaminants of other things.
Do not trust the little stupid book written by
engineers and sales executives to maintain your
car! They WANT IT TO FAIL so you buy another
one, period, period, again. “Maintenance free” is

radio can transmit at a time, and anyone else in
the area on that frequency must wait until you
stop transmitting. You have to take turns. Unlike
a telephone where you can interrupt each other
or talk over each other, you cannot do that in
radio transmissions. That is essentially what goes
on with wireless internet. And when there are too
many people trying to send and receive at the same
time, it means that we all have to wait longer for a
turn. Ok, so it might be slower, but why do we say
that it will be near unusable speeds? Because the
Co-op’s plans are to add 50 to 75 access points, or
points were signals are transmitted. The current 3
providers have a combined total of approximately
180 access points and the system can perform
poorly at peak hours – so you can only imagine
what would happen if you added another 40%
more transmission points. There is simply no
way the frequencies can take that many more
transmitting points. When asked about how they
plan to address this very real problem, the Co-op
evaded the question.
And what happened to fiber going to people’s
homes? The Co-op’s stated plans are to first install
fiber optics to all their substations. The second
phase will be to do their voltage regulators and
capacitors. All of this will give them better control
over their system, allow them to read meters
electronically, and do connects and disconnects
remotely. None of those plans involve fiber
to the home. And did you catch that remote
DISCONNECT comment – yes, they will be able
to shut off your electricity with the flip of a switch
at the office, as well as impose things like rolling
brown-outs as they see fit. But back to fiber to the
people. Now they make the point that bringing
the fiber to the Co-op office will save them about
$35,000 per year in phone and internet fees –
however, is the grant for bringing high speed
internet to the people, or for improving just the
Co-op’s system?
Now, if the grant is for their own improvement

police officer who would accompany her to court.
According to prosecutors, so much of Kelly
Park’s DNA was found at the scene that the case
against her was almost a no-brainer. They found
it on the door, in the sink, in the living room, and
elsewhere.
Yet, Kelly Park beat the rap with the defense that
her DNA could have been imported to the scene
by the “actual murder” who used a towel to wipe
down the scene. This towel could have come from
an office where Kelly Park might have used it to
dry off her hands, or something, said the defense.
Since that time, no other person has been
arrested for the crime. It remains a cold case to
this day.
LRE residents need to watch this documentary.
There are plenty of other Internet sources for this
- just Google “Kelly Soo Park.”
Now, we can’t hold a mom responsible for the
behaviors and troubles of her grown, adult
daughter, and we certainly can’t paste any of this
onto LRE’s voluminous problems, or its legion of
political rabble rousers.
But, it sure is interesting that the mom of a
“strong arm” specialist tried to strong-arm a
fellow LRE resident at an open Board meeting,
and that this mom is also the landlord and good
friend of Mary Lee, LRE’s most notorious rules
abuser and membership denier.
Indeed, it is Lee that crafted the denial of Moore’s
candidacy for the Board of Directors. Even
though Moore has been paying her assessments
(the payment coupons and the LRE accounts are
in her name), she is now, somehow ineligible!
Shades of the Karen Kohl saga? You betcha!
Of course, the CC&R’s language allows for
such fudging of the rights of assessment-paying
residents, and so this will ultimately stand as
Moore has no intention of hiring an attorney to
fight the gestapo, but think about it - Moore filed
a police report, and reported the incident to LRE’s
Board, so it’s not like they didn’t know.
I had wondered what some of my detractors
meant when they said I was “just looking for
gossip.” Well, now I know what kind of gossip
they were talking about. It’s some killer stuff!
Airport, or airstrip?
LRE’s CC&R’s also have strict rules about
homeowners not abusing or harassing one
another when business is going on, but those
rules are never enforced. Well, unless it’s Lorraine
Jeanes, who has been fined $1,200 for 12 separate
“statements” she made on her website, in addition
to being sued in court for other statements.
The Journal was able to obtain a copy of the letter
in which Mary Lee makes the case for Jeanes’ fines
for “abusive and threatnening behavior.” What
constitutes such behavior for Lee? Why, writing
Page 13
things on the Internet!
The very first item goes like this:
“Lorraine Jeanes has made false statements on
her personal website such as ‘We do not own
the Airstrip as some owners have been given to
understand. The Airstrip is privately owned by
approximately 30 owners.’ ”
Oh, how terrifyingly abusive! The text continues:
“On February 25, 2013, Ms. Jeanes posted on
LRE 43, ‘. . . the whole project was nothing more
than a grab for votes by the real person in charge
of the Board, Mary Lee. She bought Kate Kubot’s
support with the Equestrian Center.’ ”
But, yes, indeed, LRE’s “Airport” is not a separate
lot set aside and owned by the Association.
Instead, it sits on land owned by homeowners!
The airstrip (it’s hardly an airport) only exists
because of a temporary (conditional) easement
granted by the County of Riverside. If that
easement expires, or is removed, that airstrip will
not be owned by the Association.
That Equestrian Center, however, is a lot owned
outright by LRE. It’s not on an easment.
So, basically, Jeanes was fined a C-note for telling
the truth! That’s abusive!
The entire document is on the Journal’s
Facebook page. It’s worth a read if you care about
the First Amendment and abusive HOA tyrants.

Stergulz:
It’s All About The Form
Richard Stergulz, an artist from Temecula, is one
of those guys you just can’t help but like.
Not only is he accessible, well-spoken, and dare
I say attractive, he’s also the kind of artist that
knows how draw you into his work.
He’s a master of detail, surely, but it doesn’t hit
you on the head. Instead, his works almost trick
you into moving your eyes around the canvass,
and before you know it, a few minutes have gone
by.
Or, maybe an hour.
Who knows where you went, or for how long, as
you go over the colors and curves, the lines and
lives of those he has re-captured in a moment.
Take, for instance, one of his (and my) favorites
at the show, “Coffee and the Journal,” on the
opposite page.
“I took a picture of this man in Idyllwild. Well,
actually I took quite a few pictures, without trying
to let him notice.
“I’ll sometimes sit, in front of the canvass, and
paint everything in my head before I start. And
then, once I start, like six hours will go by. The
only thing that stops me is when my stomach
starts to growl.”
I replied, “I think they call that being ‘in the
zone,’ when you exist out of time.”
“Hey, that’s great! Can I borrow that?”
Of course, sir!
Looking at the subjects he depicts, it’s obvious
that he wants to capture special times, which
he considers to be “captured in the lines [of the
face.]”
The old fellow drinking coffee and reading a
paper, calmly, in a cafe, is indeed capturing a
certain time of life, one that is both weathered
and graceful simultaneously.
There’s a calmness to it, yet also a sense of
inevitability.
Contrast that with his nudes, where young
women are in a different time of life, and physical
passion is what defines things.
Curves take precedence, not only for sensuality,
but also to show the intimacy of self-awareness,
where things are more inviting and explorative,
and seductive.
Stergulz’s use of light is also highly adept. The
fellow drinking coffee has his magnificent beard
illuminated, not by a shaft of light, but by a more
dispersed light, which refracts through the piece,
showing us the spectrum of what’s going on - a
confident peacefulness, at ease, almost, with the
moment, yet the viewer can only imagine where
this man has been and what the toughness of his
story is.
The Greek mythological figures seem to be
among his favorites. These two are from an entire
series of nine Greek gods. The sell for about
$9,000 each, but Stergulz said that if someone
buys the whole set, “I’ll knock off the sales tax!”
But it’s really all about revelation - we’re all naked
on some level, even the Gods, who are there to
help reveal ourselves to ourselves, and understand
our own mystical presence in the world.
Who are we, after all? Who is that man? Who is
that woman? What connects us all?
This is the gift of art, for those who care, or dare,
to participate.
Well, good art, at least, that reveals the artwork
of creation, that we live every day but don’t have
consciousness of. - Ed Kohout ••

KOYT-FM, 96.3, is closer to being on the air!
Funds were raised through the hard work of
Directors, and the generous donations of items by
local residents, to the KOYT “Garage Sale,” held
last weekend.
The old “Whiskey River” restaurant was filled
to the brim with donated items - so much that
they decided to add another sale date - May 2 - to
allow for a few more donations and sales.
“My back hurts!” Bud Elmore, Liese Carney,
and Bob Giffin did much of the heavy lifting
in preparation for the sale, and other members
spent countless hours going through donations,
pricing and displaying items for sale.
The net result is that Anza’s new community
radio station will almost certainly be on the air by
their mandated target date in October.
It’s hard to overstate the amount of community
support for this new venture, and the amount of
talent and hard work that has gone into launching
the station.
The Anza Electric Cooperative is also behind
this effort in a big way. Kevin Short, the AEC’s
General Manager, told the station’s Directors that
the Co-op will provide free broadband service
for the station so it can comply with its mandate
for community safety requirements, and also so
that the station can stream live audio across the
Internet.
The Co-op has also agreed to donate up to two
telephone poles to the station to accomodate the
transmission equipment necessary to broadcast.
The technical side of creating a radio station is
no simple task. The expertise of two organizers,
Philip Canaday and James Hilzman, are essential
to getting the electronics ready, as well as the
sound booth.
The station asked local citizens to submit artwork
for an official logo last year. The favorite designs
were announced last week, and are reproduced
here.
Other art contributors were: Particia Hollman,
Bob Giffin, Merrie Kraatz, Sandi Hughes, Namcy
Swanson, Joseph Wittenberg, and Annika
Knoppel.
It’s great to see such a wide array of talented
people come together to make something great
happen for this community. The Anza Valley is
full of remarkable and talented people, and they
deserve major kudos for working together on this
project. The Journal salutes you!
Of course, once things are ready to go, there will
be a need for programming. Area residents are
being encouraged to submit ideas for shows.
The Journal will be (hopefully) presenting a
weekly public affairs show, where local issues
will be discussed, as well as local businesses and
community organizations.
Music programming will also be a major part
of the station’s programming. Loli Grado will be
hosting a show on jazz music.
Students are also encouraged to participate.
Public affairs will be center stage, though, as is
mandated by the FCC licensing parameters. This
includes emergency services in case of a local
disaster.

could vote for someone who put their signature
on a document like this. But, no doubt the Cult
of Lake Riverside will be cheering them on.
As for that “airport,” even the FAA would laugh
at such a distinction. There are no amenities, such
as fuel, a tower, restrooms, weather information,
or anything else, other than a strip of gravel and a
place for planes to be tied down.
One FAA official we talked to called it a “gypsy
airstrip.” I don’t know what that means, other
than that it could be gone tomorrow and no one
would notice.
The amount of traffic at the airstrip has sharply
declined over the past few years. I’m not trying to
cast any aspersions, but according to a few of our
unnamed sources, there were many flights down
to Mexico years ago, but not so much anymore.
Yes, indeed, a “gypsy airstrip,” in regal and posh

for stating facts and questioning the activities

assaulted (allegedly, of course) by the person who
rents a home to the Board Secretary, and then be
disallowed for running from office “just because.”
Ron DiNicola, you’ve got your work cut out for
you to get LRE out of this dysfunctional disaster
where people can get away with murder.
Sometimes, the best gifts come out of nowhere.
When I say “gift,” I don’t necessarily mean a box
with a present in it. Sometimes, gifts are people
that come along and make things wicked fun,
even if they don’t realize it themselves.
This week, I got such a gift, and his name is Bob
Harris, a LRE homeowner.
He had written voluminous letters-to-the-editor
to the Journal during the last month, outlining
what he thought was important, and who he
thought was causing problems in LRE.
Most of it was somewhat reasonable, and the
Journal printed a small portion of it. Much of it
was directed at Board President Ron DiNicola.
But, on Tuesday, things went off the rails.
Harris, apparently, saw an advertisement in the
Anza Valley Outlook that featured DiNicola, and
for some reason, that meant he was guilty of high

HOA crimes.
DiNicola runs his own business as an electrical
contractor, and has so for many years. Most
of his business is “off the hill,” and with other
businesses.
The ad in question, according to Harris, proves
beyond a doubt that DiNicola is acting in bad
faith because it proves he is a “sub-contractor”
for our local power company, the Anza Electric
Cooperative.
And, because LRE hired the Irontree Consulting
company last year, which is owned by long-time
Anza resident Mike Machado, DiNicola was
obviously in a “conflict of interest” situation, as
Machado is also a Director at the Co-op.
None of these contentions are true in any way,
however, as this ad was not placed by DiNicola,
but instead the Arizona G&T Cooperatives, who
operate the gigantic power generation station
in Arizona that provides Anza with electricity,
and partner with other rural cooperatives who
operate local power grids.
The ads promote something called the “Co-op
Connections Campaign,” in which cooperative
members get a card that they can use to get 10%
off of local goods and services for any business
that is also a cooperative customer.
The point of this discount card is to help keep
consumer activity in local communities local.
Both the Journal and the Outlook run these ads,
and one can be seen on page 6. A local business
is featured every new issue.
And, it just happens that DiNicola is part of this
program, as is Diner 371 and Jilbertos.
Harris sent an email to the Journal explaining
that DiNicola was in violation of this-and-that,
but told me that it was not to be published.
(FYI - if you send something to a newspaper,
they can publish it whether you want them to or
not, so be careful!)
I reprint the exchange here, not only because
we all need a good laugh, but also because it’s a
good lesson in what not to do when it comes to
slandering and libeling decent and prominent
community citizens.
Let it be known here that IN NO WAY ARE
ANY OF THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST
DINICOLA OR MACHADO TRUE, BUT
IN FACT COMPLETE AND MALICIOUS
FABRICATIONS. It should also be noted that
Harris claims to be highly educated, and is a
disabled former military man. The Journal
thanks him for that service to our nation.
Here’s an excerpt:
“You have been an Anza Electric contractor for months
and have not publicly disclosed this relationship as
required by law, and you failed to recuse yourself
from voting on LRE HOA Contracts that involved your
employer/customer, Anza electric.”
This email with Harris exchange goes on at some
length, and includes maybe 20 missives, all of
which included insults and lecturing on what Ed
Kohout doesn’t understand about everything.
Harris is endemic of the kind of awful nonsense
that LRE homeowners have to put up with on a
regular basis. The Journal warns this community
that Mr. Harris is anything but credible, and lacks
proper comportment.
The important point here is that this mirrors
other behaviors by some LRE residents who
can only invent things about others, and then
hammer it home.
Mary Lee has repeatedly besmirched the
reputation and qualifications of Irontree, and has
also been dead wrong about it.
There’s no evidence that DiNicola and Machado
even knew each other before Irontree was hired
by LRE.
There’s no evidence for any of this nonsense.
But, remember, the Cult always hates outsiders,
and insiders will become targeted if they don’t
play along with the Cult.
Even the tiniest perceived threat to the Cult can
result in all kinds of extreme machinations and
blather. And, unfortunately, cults never go away
quietly - it’s usually a very dark ending. ••

– then why bring wireless to people who already
have wireless – especially if doing so degrades
everyone’s wireless? If the plan is to bring fiber
to the people, then why not start with that
immediately instead of wireless? No one expects
them to lay the 100+ miles of fiber it will take to go
throughout Aguanga, Anza, Terwilliger, Garner
Valley and Pinyon in the next year. However, why
not start with fiber to the homes and businesses
along Hwy 371 where the main fiber line is, and
then expand from there a little every year? Why
even bother with a temporary wireless system
at all, especially when there is no room on the
frequencies?
Another very real problem with the Co-op’s
plans is that it costs thousands of dollars for the
existing wireless companies to maintain these
systems because sun, wind, rain and animals
are not nice to electronics. And it would not
be wise for the incumbent internet providers
to continue to spend thousands to maintain
systems that are going to fold in anywhere from
six months to a few years because frankly, when
fiber goes to the homes, they will not be able to
compete with the Co-op unless they refurbish
their systems at costs in the six figure range. And
electronics are such that the existing systems
cannot survive a few years without expensive
equipment replacements. So even if there were
frequencies to transmit on, your internet service
would degrade as the existing systems start to
break down. Frankly, why should they bother
trying to fight the inevitable while trying to hold
together equipment with duct tape and chewing
gum – to what end? It would actually be wise to
just pack their bags now. But what happens to
your internet if the existing companies close their
doors rather than throw money away by keeping
up expenses on a dying business – and the Co-op
is not prepared to take over service yet? The Coop has been approached to work out a smooth
transition with the incumbent providers, however
they are not interested. The Co-op keeps talking
about how they are going to help the wireless
providers improve their businesses but have not
offered anything of substance and completely
ignore the frequency interference they will cause.
Their attitude has been a capitalistic may the best
man win attitude. Wait
a minute - the Co-op is
a not-for-profit, service
utility owned by you
and I. Not a capitalistic
business. Their business
is to provide good service
to us. And this wireless
plan of theirs WILL
NOT PROVIDE GOOD
INTERNET SERVICE
TO US, and will in
fact, DEGRADE OUR
EXISTING SERVICE.
So while fiber optics is
a very good thing, the
Co-op’s plan is poorly
planned out and for
the immediate future
will result in worse
service than we have
now. Should they have
a change of heart and
decide to truly work with
the 3 incumbent wireless
providers, there can be a
smooth transition where
May 1, 2015
everyone’s service slowly improves. But for now
the Co-op has made it painfully clear they refuse
to do that. A yes vote will only give the Co-op the
benefits of fiber optics, not the people – and will
immediately degrade everyone’s service who is
on wireless. So please vote no. And write to your
Co-op board and ask them to please sit down at
the table with the existing providers and work
out a plan that doesn’t hurt people. Then we can
vote again. But meanwhile – DON’T JUST TOSS
YOUR BALLOT – it only takes 50 ballots mailed
in, 26 of them yeses, to decide this for all 4000
customers in the Co-op.
- Phil Canaday
The Journal’s Position on
ConnectAnza
It’s hard to find something not to like about what
ConnectAnza - the Electric Cooperative’s plan
for providing its service area with high-speed
Internet -has the capacity to do for consumers.
Firstly, what is “ConnectAnza”? It’s basically a
Cooperative owned communications network for
members that connects to the outside world via
Verizon’s network, and offers a very high speed.
It will also serve to enhance the electricity grid,
and lay the foundation for the AEC to have a
“smart grid.”
Early reaction to the idea was met with
enthusiasm around town, though the Journal
learned that the Anza Valley Chamber of
Commerce balked at endorsing the plan last year.
Megan Haley, the current CofC President, told
the Journal, “We didn’t feel like we had enough
information to support the project when it was
presented to us. We didn’t know how it was
going to be paid for. They should have gone to
the [cooperative’s] membership first.”
The Cooperative has yet to update the Chamber
on the financial plan, though AEC General
Manager Kevin Short has made it available to
members, and the Journal.
Short said that this particular build will cost
in the neighborhood of $6,500,000.00, payable
through the restructuring of debt ($2,000,000.00),
grants being offered through California agencies,
and perhaps some more borrowing.
From that point on, maintenance and service
costs are expected to be very low. The co-op needs
to capture between 1,500 and 2,000 subscribers to
reach the price-point of $49 per month, and then
turn capital credits.
The Journal feels that the financial plan is

start weening ourselves off of its dependence on
fossil fuels.
So, yes, Socialism is the key to providing rural
customers with broadband service that will
bring us into the 2040’s. Thanks to the new
“Net Neutrality” laws mandated by the FCC,
our co-op won’t be subject to bandwidth tiers
or “throttling.” This will provide Anza with a
market for new “cottage” Internet businesses that
are unavailable to us now - something that could
reinvigorate our rural area to some extent.
Anza: thank FDR for your low power bills,
and thank Obama for your future unlimited
broadband connection.
As for our existing local Internet providers, who
have also been given space in this edition, we
thank you for giving us service up to this point,
and we hope you will not abandon us during this
transitional period. We do understand that there
will be some pain for providers and customers
as this all falls into place, and that you folks
will have to make some drastic changes in your
business plans. Yet, the Journal feels that there
is no way for a small for-profit business to access
the kind of large capital outlays that the AEC can
handle with relative ease, and that such “barriers
to entry” are working against our local players.
While the Journal can find something wrong
with just about anything, it is hard pressed to
find enough negatives in this plan to urge a “no”
vote on the ballots that are arriving in the mail
this next week. A “yes” vote is a no-brainer.
However, we urge the AEC to revisit their
plan on holding off “fiber to the premesis”
construction until later in the process.
While we know that this will mean more
expensive outlays at the front end of the project,
we feel that this will save local consumers some
serious angst with Internet service during the
interim.
The importance of this addition to the
infrastructure for the Co-op is high. Also high
on the list is public safety in possible future
emergency situations.
We might rather suffer through a few more years
of current broadband quality in a spectrum that
is already nearing its peak capacity than have
some residents with either lesser service, or no
service, during the build.
Ultimately, it’s a matter of weighing potential
costs against current expectations, and projected
service levels against quality of product.
If “fiber to the premises” is impossible in the
short term, we urge all parties to return to an
amicable arrangement that serves consumers.

reasonable, and that the Co-op has the capability
to build and manage such a network.
But, is this the kind of business that our
Cooperative should be getting into? According
to the fiber industry, “Yes!!”
The “Broadband Communities Online
Magazine” is supporting this kind of stuff in a big
way. They track the efforts of 966 “independent
telcos and municipalities deploying fiber to
the premises,” and currently list 25 electric
cooperatives that are in the broadband business.
Thus, the AEC is hardly in uncharted territory on
how to go about building this system. In fact, the
AEC’s plan is much more ambitious than most of
the other cooperatives listed, as it will offer not
only residential service, but business services as
well, including VOIP telephone service that will
surpass the local telephony system we have now.
Craig Settels, of “Gigabit Nation,” offers these
positives for what the AEC has in mind1:
“Of all the entities capable of driving broadband
deployment, few are as well equipped as
electric co-ops to build and operate high-speed
networks that meet rural communities’ specific
needs. Most have 70-plus years experience
providing a vital service, their existing business
and service operations are similar in many ways
to ISP operations, customer loyalty runs deep
and community members literally own the coops. Co-ops are skilled at building, maintaining
and operating outside-plant infrastructure. This
includes electrical plant, but many have also built
out fiber to substations to meet their internal
network needs.”
“Rural communities are banking on electric coops to come through with broadband solutions.
The rest of the country should be cheering
for co-ops as well because their actions are
defining best practices for broadband that can be
duplicated elsewhere, including in metropolitan
areas. The spirit and initiative shown by coops is a great model for all communities. The
model of community ownership of a nonprofit
entity operated by competent people with the
community’s best interest at heart has great
potential.”
Kevin Short has never shied away from
advocating the high value the cooperative
business model has for consumers, and that
value is seen every year as our local electricity
rates average about 30% less than the for-profit
behemoths that service 99% of California
residents. During Short’s first interview with the
Journal last year, I asked him to explain how the
cooperative works. When he finished, I asked,
“But, isn’t that Communism?” We both laughed
out loud, of course, but there is no doubt that the
cooperative business model for rural utilities that
came out of the Great Depression (in response to
Wall Street excesses that crashed the economy
and impoverished entire rural communities) has
stood the test of time, and keeps more money in
the community for other things.
Furthermore, the AEC has been a model of
integrity and professionalism in our community
for 65 years. Not only does the AEC offer good
middle-class jobs to local residents, it also
has been looking out for the best interests of
consumers.
If indeed the AEC’s plant and grid can be
upgraded to “smart grid” status, deploying green
technologies, such as solar and wind, is much
more realistic. Once grid-level “flow batteries”
become proven technologies, and are pricepoint feasible for localized grids, Anza could
