“Anza Fire” Scorches
530 Acres
Flame retardant is dropped on the “Anza Fire” by a Grumman S-2T, one of Cal Fire’s 23 such planes that are deployed
“for fast initial attack delivery of fire retardant on wildland fires.” The blaze started just before noon on August 10.
A vehicle fire started what
quickly became a large wildfire
in the wilderness east of
Paradise Valley and north of the
Santa Rosa Indian Reservation
on August 10.
The owner of the recreational
vehicle, a Pinion man, who
recently restored it, suffered
burns as he tried to extinguish
the fire, and was taken to Desert
Regional for treatment.
Cal Fire responded quickly,
hoping to get the upper hand
on the fast-moving blaze. In all,
532 firefighters were assigned
to the fire in various capacities,
and the Riverside County
Sheriff’s Department dedicated
16 officers to secure the area,
under the command of Captain
Ray Wood.
Evacuations were ordered for
a small neighborhood at the
(Continued on page 4...)
Right, above and below: Paradise
Corner was a staging ground for Cal
Fire and the Sheriff ’s Department for
the “Anza Fire.”
Route 74 between the 371 and Santa
Rosa was closed until 11 am on the
11th.
The fire grew to 300 acres in only
four hours, and then to 500 acres in
five hours. A sustained and heavy
“air attack” is credited with stopping
this fire. Resources are spread thin in
California, and the
Western US in general.

New 3rd District Supervisor
Chuck Washington met with
Anzans in July, and we were
there. But we still have some open
questions, and hope to have that
settled for next time.
Washington is a very likeable and
affable man, and it’s quite obvious
that this Supervisor will be more
approachable than the last one.
Of course, the Journal doesn’t
rank too high on their “to do” list,
so we await some answers on Code
Enforcement, the “pot thing,” and
whether the Anza Valley really gets
back what it pays in taxes to the
County.
As for the Community Hall story,
well, it’s like wrestling an octopus
while working on your car.
We hope to have something more
definitive to report, such as where
this and that refrigerator went,
and what happened to the sound
system(s), perhaps as a Facebook
entry in the coming days.
We also will be posting a brief on
the plight of local Vail Lake artisan
Ricardo Breceda, who has been
asked to move his shop, and his RV,
out of the complex.
A big shout-out to all the folks
who wished Becka and myself well
on our marriage. It’s been hard to
get back to work, with so many pies
to choose from. - Ed.

Democratic Socialism: A Proven Winner for Anza
by Ed Kohout
There simply is no room for an anticommerce hyena in the Chamber of
Commerce.
There is some good news to all
of this, though. When the votes
were finally counted for the Co-op’s
Director election, on July 19, it was
quite obvious that voter turnout had
greatly increased from recent years.
In 2014, 222 ballots were cast for the
election between Ryall Stewart and
Steve Packard:
Who said this:
“We are proud of and shall
continue our far-reaching and
sound advances in matters of basic
human needs - expansion of social
security - broadened coverage in
unemployment insurance - improved
housing - and better health protection
for all our people. We are determined
that our government remain warmly
responsive to the urgent social and
economic problems of our people.”
A)
B)
C)
D)
In 2015, 354 ballots were cast,
yielding these results:
Bernie Sanders
Lyndon Johnson
Jacques Chirac
The Republican Party in 1956
How about this one:
“Nearly four years ago... we were
locked in a costly and stalemated
war. Now we have an honorable
peace, which has stopped the bitter
toll in casualties and resources,
ended depressing wartime restraints,
curbed the runaway inflation and
unleashed the boundless energy of
our people to forge forward on the
road to progress.”
A)
B)
C)
D)
Stewart: 131
Packard: 91
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Barack Obama
The Republican Party in 1956
If you answered “D” to both of these,
you are correct! It’s taken verbatim
from the Republican Party’s platform
from the 1956 convention - you
know, that golden era of America
that everyone who waxes nostailgic
thinks was so great.
Yes, those crazy Conservatives
actually embraced Social Security,
universal health care, unemployment
insurance, and homes for everyone.
And, unions, too!
What a bunch of losers, eh?
I bring this up only because I’ve been
getting the usual woolly feedback
from the last edition’s editorial where
I lamented on and on about the
connection between literacy and the
dumbed-down political climate we
have inherited.
In that, shall I say “brilliant” piece,
I also fretted over the very lackluster
support of our own Carly Fiorina,
who was getting about as much
support as Roseanne Barr after
singing the National Anthem.
I sent that to the printer on
Wednesday night, and then, lo and
behold, the next day she showed up
at a debate, and the world was agog “Carly won that debate!”
I honestly don’t know why, because
I didn’t watch it, but from what I
gather, it was due to her ability to
communicate, in clear and concise
language, her ideas!
And, now, instead of getting 1% of
the polls, she bumped up to about 4%.
Woo hoo! The great Conservative
intelligentsia was listening!
But, later that night, the Donald J.
Trump clown car pulled in, and that’s
what everyone wanted.
The Trumpster brought some pies,
and lobbed one after another at the
other contestants on “The Koch
Brothers Price is Right.”
First, it was Jeb!. Then, it was Paul.
Ben Carson didn’t get one, but I don’t
think Trump knew who he was.
After all was said and done, not one
question was asked pertaining to
any of the four items in the first quiz
quote above.
What does this have to do with
Anza?
Well, we have our own Trump. It’s a
she, and goes by the name of “Annette
Gilliam, ESQ.”
Endless whining and complaining
about things, throw-the-baby-outwith-the-bathwater ideas, and a
campaign based on bluster and
arrogance, centered on a personality
that has just arrived on the scene in
town, but knows nothing about it.
I watched that person throw pie
after pie, all aimed at AEC General
Manager Kevin Short, and then the
AEC in general, and that was the
whole campaign.
How did Gilliam know she was right
about the issues? Because she’s her,
and we’re not, and shut up, I’ve got
better things to attend to anyhow.
It was ugly, ugly stuff, and no matter
where I dug into the accusations,
there was nothing of substance to
glean.
To make matters worse, it began
looking like our own Anza Valley
Chamber of Commerce was a
centrifugal point of the morass.
The major, and most serious
accusation, was that the Co-op, and
specifically Kevin Short, had rigged
the ballot referendum in May to get
the “ConnectAnza” project off the
ground.
The proof? It just looked bad, with
over 900 members voting 9-1 for the
deal. Also, Gilliam’s own petitions to
run as a candidate for a Directorship
on the AEC Board had barely scraped
by.
Apparently, the Co-op had
discounted a bunch of signatures,
and that, dear friends, was all the
proof Gilliam needed.
When I requested to view those
petitions, I discovered that four
people had signed twice. One of those
was the President of the Chamber.
(Just so everyone knows - never
ever sign a petition twice. Everyone
should know this, but some don’t.)
When I tried to contact this person,
I got no response. But, it was time for
some kind of statement by the Journal,
and given the time constraints, I
decided to -pre-publish it online on
Facebook. (That post got over 800
views within two days.)
Well, all of a sudden, I was getting
replies, and they were angry! How
dare I make such accusations! How
dare I besmirch the good name of
the Chamber! This is unfair! This is
SLANDER!
“It was a mistake,” was the response
about signing the petition twice. I
can live with that.
So, I did meet up the next day with
a Chamber Director, and asked for
an official reply - something I could
print in the paper that would explain
things to the community.
I was told that the Chamber would
discuss the matter, and send me
something.
But, I got nothing. It’s been a month,
and nothing.
So, I assume they have nothing to
say. However, in a brief conversation
with Robyn Garrison, a long-time
Chamber booster and official, some
things were gleaned.
One is that the Chamber really had
no official position on ConnectAnza.
The other was that the Chamber
had received no complaints from
members about the Co-op, and
since the Chamber only replies to
complaints, it was a moot point.
I asked if the Chamber had ever
received a complaint about anything,
and the answer was “No.”
“The Chamber supports our
Chamber membership,” was the
statement.
(The Co-op is a member of the
Chamber, by the way.)
And, yes, that’s what I was looking
for - a statement of how the Chamber
does support local business, and
helps... commerce!
This, then, poses the question - does
the Co-op do more for businesses
in the area than the Chamber? Is
not ConnectAnza the best thing to
happen for local businesses since
anyone can remember?
According to Gilliam, Anza doesn’t
need it. The local shopkeepers who
have to use their cell phones to take
credit card transactions don’t need it?
Some relief from the the exhorbitant
business phone rates that Verizon
charges isn’t needed?
The potential IT cottage businesses
that ConnectAnza could bring to
our area isn’t needed? The ability to
work-from-home for some residents
isn’t needed?
Was there any thought to this by the
Chamber? I guess we’ll never know.
But, one thing is clear: Gilliam has
to go. I don’t see how she can serve
on the Board of the Chamber of
Commerce after doing all she could
to hurt local businesses.
If the Chamber really wants to save
face, they should vote her off the
Board immediately.
District I:
Harold Burdick: 212
Elena Mafla: 35
Annette Gilliam: 86
District III:
Alan Thomas: 87
Joel Carlisle: 241
That’s a ~60% increase in voter
turnuout! And, the margins show
that the Co-op’s members stand
firmly behind the current Board,
General Manager, and employees, all
of whom are providing outstanding
service to this community.
What does this have to do with the
Republican Party of 1956? Well, that’s
about the time that the Co-op first
began actually distributing electricity
to residents.
It’s also about the time that the
Community Hall opened and became
the spiritual center of this community.
Back in those days, the government
actually put mechanisms in place to
help Main Street. They looked out
for the working class, and actually
embraced the New Deal.
Nowadays, the modern GOP would
do everything to discourage an electric
coopertaive and a Community Hall.
“That’s Socialism,” they would say.
“Those customers are freeloaders!”
“Deregulation and Wall Street are the
best way to give consumers the best
prices!”
It’s all bunk, of course, as the Coop outperforms all Investor Owned
Utilities (IOU’s) by a wide margin.
And, all of that extra money Anzans
would be shelling out for electricity
would never find its way back into
the community, as a company like
Southern California Edison would
never hire from our community, or
give back like the AEC does.
The IOU’s would never take excess
operating revenues and give them
back to the community.
And they certainly would never give
us low-cost, high-speed broadband.
Those things only strengthen our
community, and the name of the
game in the modern oligarchical
order is to never empower the people.
We need look no further than the
Gilliam campaign for proof, as she
was a lawyer for an IOU - the very
one that charges families $150 to
$200 more per month than the AEC.
So, I say, support the old GOP,
support the AEC, and you’ll be
supporting the right kind of social
order for strong communities:
DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM!
We tend to forget how well it worked
back then, but it still is working - right
here in Anza! ••

east end of Garner Valley called
“Indian Hills.” Residents could
be seen preparing for evacuation
in the early afternoon. The order
was lifted by the next morning,
and no property damage was
recorded.
Three firefighters were injured
in this effort. The excitement
also caused a patron at Paradise
Cafe to have a heart attack.
Forward progress of the fire was
halted by 10 pm on the 10th,
though full containment was not
reached until August 15.
“A Wheelchair for
Justin Fundraiser”
Explainer
Submitted by Michele Brown
I’ve had a few people ask me,
who’s Justin? To be honest when
I started this venture pulling
this event together I didn’t know
that answer. What I knew was
someone needed a wheelchair
and we needed to make that
happen for him. See I met his
Aunt, CC Hotchkiss, (some
of you know her as Anderson
from back when she worked
locally with the fire department)
and we started talking. I saw a
GoFundMe account was set up
for her nephew Justin and they
were raising money. Then I saw
the post, someone was buying
his wheelchair and donating
the balance needed. Great news
right? Wrong! The wheelchair
company spoke with the donor,
they brought a wheelchair out
and fitted him. He was so excited.
Finally! But then they backed out
and the company came and got
the wheelchair. When I found out
I as and still am dumbfounded!
Who does that to someone?!?! I
told CC after the car show is over
we’ll hit the ground running to
pull together a fundraiser and we
WILL get Justin his wheelchair!
CC helped us the day of the car
show and we discussed ideas
in between the hectic day. We
got started right away talking
with musicians and booking the
day’s events. We weren’t sure of
location at the time but planned
accordingly. Once we received
confirmation things really came
together.
I finally met Justin a couple
weeks ago and he was hard at
work at the ranch he lives and
works on. I found out he was
the one who went and dragged
the baseball field in the rain
for the kids. He likes being on
the tractor. He works part time
at Home Depot too. This isn’t
someone who begs for help, nor
even asks, he’s the one who goes
out of his way to help others. He
was shocked when he found out
we’re doing this for him. Justin’s
been in a wheelchair since he was
16 years old when he severed his
spine in an accident. He had to

learn how to do all the things we
take for granted all over again.
Can you imagine never being
able to just look someone eye to
eye again? Something so simple
that he can no longer do, he has
to look up at the world from his
chair now. Living up here he’s
gone through a lot of wheelchairs
and they’re not cheap. They
break easily and worst of all they
get stuck. Think of when your
car breaks down on the side of
the road, that feeling of having to
wait for help. Now imagine you’re
confined to a wheelchair, you’re
at home or work and your chair
gets stuck and now you have
to wait for someone to find you
and help you get unstuck. Not a
good feeling is it? These are just
a couple of the many reasons we
need to help one of our own make
his dream come true. It’s a simple
request, he just wants to be able
to live and work without needing
to rely on others for help.
We’re hoping to make this an
annual fundraiser with a new
recipient(s) each year to help
others in our community who are
in need. We’ll have applications
available and more information
on that after the event so stay

Local Veterans Ranch
Seeks Urgent Help
Submitted by Jill Roberts
The Manzanita Ranch is losing
their lease. The owner must sell
the property by end of 2015 for
$250,000. Our lease payments
are current. The land owners
would like to sell the property to
the Manzanita Ranch, which is a
501c3 nonprofit human services
agency treating Veterans with
PTSD through horses and the
“One Good Day” Project.
We have ongoing monthly
expenses
for
feed,
farrier,
veterinarian, equine dentist for
8 therapy horses and upgrades
to the ranch equipment and
property.
Please support your local
veterans and the horses who
provide therapy.
Deacon required surgery for
an injury which cost $540. He
is part of the healing mission
of the Manzanita Ranch, where
the horses are the therapy for
veterans with PTSD. Challenges
like this occur and costs cut into
our feed bill.
He also needs his own pipe rail
stall. You can donate money
for his shelter and if you know
anyone who has pipe rail free or
low cost, please let us know.

ADA Compliance
Activists Are Not
Always What They
Seem
Soon after a segment in a
Journal story on Lake Riverside
Estates was published in April one that was critical of a certain
LRE resident, Robert Frank
Harris, a slew of hostile and
threatening emails were received
at the Journal, threatening legal
action for various items.
One such threat was that the
Journal’s office would targeted by
Harris, a self-professed “Disabled
Persons Activist,” for various ADA
violations, including inadequate
parking lot spaces, inadequate
restrooms, and other things.
So, Ed Kohout invited Harris to
come down to the office, at a time
of his choosing, to see what he
might come up with.
Harris
never
made
the
appointment, but the barrage of
angry emails, replete with foul
language and wild accusations
about my criminal background,
continued unabated.
This harassment then continued
on the Journal’s Facebook page,
to the point that Facebook had to
ban Harris from contacting me.
Things died down by June, but
the Journal then found out that
Harris had sent bulk emails out
to various businesses in Anza
and Aguanga, threatening them
with legal action over unspecified
ADA compliance issues.
Earlier, Harris had told the
Journal in a few of the 50+
unsolicited emails he sent to us
that he was going to “go after”
every business in Anza, and
had singled out the Lions Club
because he thought that Kohout
was a member.
(The Lions Club, thus far, has
not received a missive from
Harris.)
Harris claimed in his emails that
he has done this kind of thing for
years, and that he knows all the
agencies to contact, etc.
A background check on Harris
did not turn up any kind of
criminal history, though it did
turn up addresses, in addition
to his home on Riverdale Drive
in LRE, in Cathedral City, La
Jolla, Susanville, Palo Alto,
and Annapolis, MD, where he
was at one time part-owner of a
“consulting” business that was
connected to ADA issues.
And while the Journal has no
reason to believe that Harris is
doing anything illegal, it does
come on the heels of an indicted
scam artist, now in jail, who was
going around and doing similar
“ADA compliance” checks on
small businesses - and taking
payoffs under the table to go
away.
This man’s name is Rodolfo de
Hoyos, and he was so prolific at
scamming small businesses that
the Press Enterprise ran this
headline:
“Police say a 55-year-old
Wildomar man posed as a
disabled persons advocate to
extort $140,000 from Riverside
County businesses.”
(The Journal is aware of one
local business that did pay de
Hoyos to simply “go away.”)
In California, the issue with selfappointed compliance advocates
became a serious issue for small
businesses - enough to cause
multiple attempts at legal reforms,
specifiying how far an activist can
go in collecting money for himor herself, and how much these
“drive by” compliance complaints
Page 5
can actually cost a business.
California State Senator Richard
D. Roth (D-31), has taken on the
issue, and has posted on his
website: “In Riverside County,
businesses have been forced to
shell out thousands of dollars, or
even close entirely, due to ADA
lawsuits. Kuma Tire & Wheel in
the city of Riverside paid $8,000
to settle a lawsuit for not having
a marked handicapped parking
spot. Pablo and Maria Mercado
in Woodcrest were forced to shut
down their fruit stand because
they could not afford to bring their
restroom into compliance after
being hit with a lawsuit.
In the past year, dozens of
business and property owners
in the county reported receiving
letters and visits from Rodolfo
de
Hoyos,
including
the
Greater Riverside Chambers of
Commerce.”
The Journal has no evidence
that Harris is connected to de
Hoyos, or that he has done
anything improper, but we don’t
quite know what he is up to.
Right now, it looks like a fishing

The Anza Electric Cooperative
is Still on a Roll
Annual Meeting Highlights Successes
and Ongoing Challenges
by Ed Kohout
In the last edition, I highlighted the moving
speech made by Anza native and hospice activist Michelle Wulfestieg, and asked folks to listen
to her remarks, which can be downloaded at our
website: www.highcountryjournal.com
Even though Wulfestieg was merely the keynote
speaker, I thought her remarks were poignant to
the situations much of our community finds itself
in currently.
A somewhat bitter election, and problems with
the Community Hall, come to mind as situations
that call for stepping back a bit, and remembering
what we’re all here for on this planet: to help each
other.
And, a small community like Anza offers a special milieu for just that. Wulfestieg hit upon those
themes with relative ease, and though many of us
will never face the kinds of challenges that young
lady has, all challenges are the same on some level.
Friends, family, and neighbors are our main support groups. We should never feel ashamed to call
upon them when we need them, and in our little
corner of rural America, those folks tend to come
together when the need arises.
Take the Anza Fire, which broke out last week. So
many people stepped up to help evacuees that the
Red Cross’ temporary shelter didn’t even need to
stay open.
We were taking care of our own, as they say. All
petty squabbles and silly arguments were put aside,
and the sense of security in this community was a
great asset for those who were adversely affected.
The Cooperative also embodies this same spirit.
Every year, the Co-op donates about $15,000 to
various organizations and causes, and helps this
community not only keep the lights on (free street
lighting is part of what the Co-op donates), it also
helps keep our many charitable groups going.
For instance, the Co-op helped sponsor the “Rust
or Shine Car Show” in May, and some of those
proceeds went to the Community Hall.
The Co-op has donated generously to the Hall
over the years as well.
And, now that Anza is on the verge of having
its own community radio station, the Co-op has
stepped in with free power, communications, and
helped purchase equipment so that one more vital
community asset can get up and running.
This is highly important, given that the next big
fire, or earthquake, that hits our community will
require better communications, and folks will be
able to tune in to find out timely information.
On the business side of things, the Co-op has performed again and again for our community, and
2014 was no different. Approximately $500,000 in
Capital Credits will be returned to members this
year, thanks to the wise and frugal operating team
at the offices on Route 371.
But, it doesn’t stop there. The Co-op is also part
of a continuum of other cooperatives that work together to help Anza get quality service at wholesale
market prices.
August 21, 2015
This is all possible thanks to the cooperative
business model, where people who live and work
in our community also run the organization.
Compare to a bunch of high-priced corporate
bureaucrats who live maybe hundreds of miles
away, and never have to see the communities they
supply.
The Cooperative faces many challenges on a daily basis in terms of supplying our grid with stable
power. But, the larger challenges have come from
both Sacramento and Washington DC.
SB38, the State’s clean energy initiative, has
mandated that all power distributors get ever increasing power from alternative supplies, such as
solar and wind.
To that end, the Co-op’s supplier in Arizona,
known as the Arizona Electric Power Company,
or AEPCO, has helped us build a one-Megawatt
solar array, that when function, will supply about
5% of our total consumption.
But, what the government mandates, the other
governments make difficult to implement.
For over two years now, AEPCO and the AEC
have taken the necessary steps to implement this
solar array. First, they purchased land adjacent
to the plant on Route 371 on which to build the
array.
That land, which totals about 20 acres, was only
part of a much larger parcel, and the County of
Riverside spent much time approving the “lot line
adjustment,” according to General Manager Kevin Short.
And, then, the permitting for the array, something called a “Conditional Use Permit,” had to
pass muster with the County. Delays in that process included the County having to decide what
kind of “utility” that AEPCO is.
Is it a true public utility, or something else? Ahh,
such are the issues that flummox the bureaucratic
mind. In the end, the County decided that AEPCO fits into a category called, “Undetermined.”
This goes to the complexity of the solar deal.
AEPCO will get the environmental credits, as
they are the actual power generator for the AEC,
and will essentially be buying that power from
the AEC.
So, the AEC and AEPCO are still about a year
away from seeing the benefits of this array. At
best, the build will begin in three to four months.
The budget for the project is $2.8 million, and
those costs will be shared. But, then we will be in
compliance with what Sacramento wants.
The other major hurdle AEPCO faced recently
was new anti-coal standards from the EPA.
The EPA is trying to phase out coal, and boost
alternative energy sources, or at least cleaner
burning fuels.
The proscribed solution for AEPCO, which runs
the “Apache Generating Station” in eastern Arizona, was to install more scrubbing technology in
the coal-fired parts of the plant.
The costs were exhorbitant, but AEPCO, working with other cooperatives, decided to put forth
a plan to simply replace some coal-burning substations with gas-fired units.
While this still costs money to retool the facility,
the cost savings were immense. The AEC, to help
this along, reached out to a very sympathetic US
Representative Raul Ruiz (D-Indio), who helped
mediate the deal.
This move helped save the Anza community
many hundreds of thousands of dollars that AEPCO would have had to pass along to members.
But, that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods
just yet. New EPA regulations are coming down
the pike, and even bigger challenges for AEPCO
await.
Such extreme regulatory challenges are not that
big of a deal for the larger power companies, like
SoCal Edison, who have about five million customers with which to absorb those costs.
Speaking of costs, the Cooperative business
model, which mandates members instead of customers, and does not try to make a profit off of
operations to be distributed to stockholders, is
mostly what helps Anza’s power rates stay low.
In this graphic, shown by Kevin Short in his
presentation on July 19, it is easy to see how a
for-profit, Investor Owned Utility (IOU), ends up
costing users far more money than a cooperative:
As is evident, the rates we pay are more closely
in line with LADWP, which is also a non-profit
municipal concern, than with the IOU’s.
This business model, in turn, will allow the AEC
to give low-cost, high-speed internet service to
our community, which will in turn help create
opportunities in our area, in addition to the fulltime employment positions it will create within
the company.
Short has told the Journal that ConnectAnza is
moving along at about the pace they thought it
would, with the first system test starting as soon
as this week. The Co-op intends to update members on progress via newsletter.
The Co-op is also about 30-60 days away from
switching their own office telephone system, currently with Verizon (and very expensive), to the
new fiber network, which will save upwards of
$20,000 a year in costs.
One major part of the funding for ConnectAnza rests with the approval of a nearly $2 million
dollar grant from the State. The grant must be
approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, but we are told that that process is moving along as planned.

expedition, as the Journal’s numerous invitations to have Harris
inspect our office, along with anyone he chose to bring along, were
not answered. On no more than four occasions did the Journal
invite Harris to inspect our offices, and each time, the reply was
more vitriol.

We will do your civil summons delivery process by email and will choose

So please be patient, it takes a few days to draft the complaint and process
serve you.
I will include photos of your parking lot and public restrooms and office as
the first examples of local Anza ADA violations.
So like I said, equal access is soon coming to Anza- the HARD way!
Get used to change, it can hurt at first, especially when you are force-fed
rather than proactive.

the national chains: Kwik Stop, DQ, Chevron, Hemet Bank and the Anza

Hardware stores, realtors, garden nursery, almost ALL Anza mom & pop

Not a SINGLE privately Anza owned small business that I have visited has
complied with the ADA and has not placed handicapped parking in their lots.
So Anza has been warned:
They have 30 days to install handicapped parking signs on their private
small business lots or an ADA rights lawyer will come in and ask a judge to
force the towns businesses to comply with a 25 year old civil rights law, the
ADA.
This ambulance chasing lawyer will probably be able to send a kid to college
thanks to the deliberate negligence of the Anza Business community.
It should be noted that several non profits exist to assist businesses to
install handicap signage, so an excuse like “I am too small and cannot afford
it” is a lie. These small businesses just don’t want to take the time and
expense to comply with law.
It also should be noted that ADA has been in effect since 1991, over 25
years.
And an ADA plaintiff receives no money, only the lawyer gets his fee and
the $5k goes to a special ADA improvement fund.
So if you care about Anza you would warn your community of this looming
“crisis,” they are about to be dragged out if the Stone Age and into modern
times by a hungry civil rights lawyer who sees a prime target of enforcementAnza small businesses.
Like I said, nutty as a loon!
---------------------------------------------------As you can see, this kind of behavior is quite unprofessional, and
only has a tone of intimidation and degradation.
Then again, it was all so over-the-top, that we almost felt like we
were being “Punk’d.” After all, who behaves like this?
The Journal did inform our landlord of the issue, and we also told
the Lions Club, who, again, said they never heard of him.
So, at this point, in August, the Journal is concerned that Harris
may not be acting for the legitimate concern of disabled people.
Either he realized, somehow, that the Journal’s office is indeed ADA
compliant, and has no issues, or he got tired of trying to, perhaps,
extract something from the Journal to make him “go away.”
Of course, we didn’t bite, and we have never been contacted by any
ADA compliance agency.
Harris bought a home in LRE in 2014, and has recently put it on
the market a few weeks ago.
We don’t think he liked Anza too much. Here is the “DiNicola”
thread of emails, which go backwards in time:
Subject: Re: Bob Harris is a halfwit! was: RE: neglected the polygamy Re:

I will also file an ethics complaint against you for continue to harass me with
official emails after I asked you to CEASE AND DESIST.
You have violated the CA spam email statute.
Surely I can find some non profit group that would embarrass you by
exposing your unethical and illegal behavior while posing as news reporter.
But then again when I tell them you are in ANZA they will most
likely tell me you are not worth their time?
A= Ain’t N= Nothing (but) Z= Zilch (and) A= Assholes!
Some reporter you turned out to be, always needs to get the last word by
name calling?
You are nothing but a foment or, someone who creates gossip whilst I rely
on facts.
My guess is you are a thin, chain smoking and unkempt white male in his
late sixties?

“We are part of their ‘targeted area’
for this grant money,” Short said.
Short had said throughout the campaign in April and May that the grant
money was “all but approved,” as the
Co-op had been in contact with principals from the PUC well in advance.
“I think we’re going to see some tremendous improvements very shortly,” he continued.
Concerning ConnectAnza, one surprise that Short popped on us was the
revelation that he had been working
closely with Jeff Willis, who is the
grandson of AEC pioneer Barbara
Bradford, on the broadband project
for almost three years, entirely behind-the-scenes.
Willis was working on a Graduate
project at Colorado State, and approached Short for some technical
advice.
Short, in turn, prodded Willis to
help the Co-op design the system for
ConnectAnza.
So, what started out as a side project
became, in many ways, the system we
will be using in the near future. This
truly is “Where the Past and Future
Meet!”
Once again, the spirit of community,
along with a community-based utility, wins the day.
Be it cost savings for members,
community involvement, excellent
employment opportunities for local
folks, a progressive forethought for
an otherwise underseved rural community, the Co-op once again delivers. ••

Pam’s Gift Primer
Page 12
A Message about Pam’s Gift
from Raymond Hogue
Pam’s Gift is named after my sister, Pam, who was
brutally murdered by her live-in boyfriend in 2000.
It will be 15 years, this September 21, since this
atrocity occurred. I have seen, first hand, the effects
of domestic violence and the horror it leaves behind
for the family. My sister, Pam, left behind two preteen daughters to grow up without their mother. Our
mother was left mourning the loss of her daugher
until the day she passed away (God, rest her soul).
I decided five years ago (wiht the pushing and
blessing from our mohter) to start raising money
and awareness for battered women.
The main goal of the Pam’s Gift Organization is to get abused
women and children into a safe-house where they will be in a safe
and positive environment. There, they will be able to get away from
physical, mental, and sexual abuse. The safe-house provides proper
counseling, and re-training to enable victims to rebuild their lives in
a non-threatening environment.
Pam’s Gift Organization fundraisers support the well-being of
women and children of domestic violence to enable them to move
forward to live the life they deserve.
Clockwise, from above: Vini Contreas did some Dylan; hot babes and some
guy - woohoo!; SERJ gets ‘em on the floor; “Nameless” let their hair down;
Tension Between Us delivered some serious thrash to close the evening.
Both Contreas and “Nameless” will be returning for this year’s event, along
with Cowboy Bang Bang and Immature Hour.
August 21, 2015
Whenever the folks who organize Pam’s Gift come to us for some publicity,
we jump at the chance to help. Not only are they really sweet people, but the
cause is something highly important.
After the story of what happened to Pam was told to us, I then told them
about a story of a young lady who was close to my family, and met a similar
fate. It then dawned on us that basically everyone we know knows somebody who has been a victim of intense domestic violence. Even Rush.
That’s a lot of people. That’s a lot of Pams.
And while there are no easy answers, there are some things we can do for
these people, and one of them is to give to Pam’s Gift. They make it easy,
with a yearly event that features food, raffles, and local talent. This year’s
event is on September 12, at the Community Hall. We hope to see you there.
In the meantime, here are some pics from last year’s fundraiser.
I didn’t know the girl, but I knew her family
All their lives were shattered in a nightmare of brutality
They tried to carry on, tried to bear the agony
Tried to find some faith in the goodness of humanity...
As the years went by, we drifted apart
When I heard that she was gone I felt a shadow cross my heart
But she’s nobody’s hero...
Is the voice of reason, against the howling mob
Hero...is the pride of purpose, in the unrewarding job
Hero...not the champion player, who plays the perfect game
Hero...not the glamour boy, who loves to sell his name
Everybody’s buying Nobody’s hero
- “Nobody’s Hero” by Rush, lyrics by Neal Peart, ©1993

Amraah’s Amazing Journey
“Raising My Sights” & “The Last Post”
[Editor’s note: Well, we had an inkling it might
come to this. We’ve been following Amraah on her
journey since last year, when she decided to embark
on an arduous trek south, to points basically unknown, in search of a new paradigm for the rest of
her life.
She had only herself, an old van, some basic supplies, and the faith that someday, somehow, she
would reach Ecuador and start up a self-sustaining
agricultural concern, and then watch the sunset.
What’s the saying ... there’s a fine line between genius and insanity ... and, yes, we thought this might
not have been the wisest thing to do, with so many
unknonws, and so little money, but it just might
work.
The great thing about being a free human is that
we get to “do” own our lives. Better to go out with a
bang than a whimper. Better to live like a lion than
just be lyin’ around.
Amraah turned 77 this year, and has taken the true
spiritual path of placing oneself at the mercy of circumstance. It’s the hardest kind of spiritual journey
- learning to live at the mercy and benevolence of
others.
So, of course, when the idea was pitched that the
Journal would follow, and print, the log of this particular journey, I said to Becka, “What if this doesn’t
end well? Are we in the Greek Tragedy business?”
but, what the heck, when someone offers him- or
herself up on the experimental docket, I guess the
answer had to be, “Yes, we are.”
And, here we are, finding out that our best statistical guess was correct.
Of course, knowing Amraah as we do, we know
that something will come in to save the day. That’s
how it goes for certain people - they continually defy
the odds. Keith Richards comes to mind. So does
Jerry Brown.
It’s always that time when it seems like all hope is
lost that something comes around and injects a new
energy.
This is the point this story is at.
When Shakleton set out for Antarctica, he made
sure he had a wealthy backer to send him on his way,
with a contingent of swabs and all kinds of supplies
and tools. But, we know how that ended.
Ecuador, which is named after the equator, is about
as different from Antarctica as can be, but
both are the extremes of the globe.
So, if anyone out there is interested in
helping Amraah out, you can, by sending
a donation to:
http://ravensmedicine.com/donate/ ]
July 20: Raising my sights, raising myself to manifest the Ecuador project.
These have been times of crisis and I acknowledge that I have, for a while at least,
made myself their victim. Sure, it is possible for me to talk myself into it because
that day in the sheeting rain in Costa Rica
when I was feeling physically plain lousy
and could not see clearly the road ahead
of me, it was needed at the moment to respond to overwhelming circumstances.
And I did: when the cop showed up, I
talked myself and, a stranger, my landowner benefactor to allow an old lady to
sleep it off in the driveway. It allowed me
to go on later with the rest of the tank of
gas to the next destination. It showed me
where and how to get on my computer
to communicate my plight to the world
where there was assistance to be found.
All the while I was safe and never in any
kind of danger.
That’s always always how it works. There
is always a way.
I can thank myself for all the work I have
been doing and continue to do that made
that conviction solid within me even though at this
particular unfolding time, I was pretty much devastated.
So I gave myself a break and so should you when
this sort of stuff happens. Congratulate yourself
about how far you have already come, and begin
again: right now.
Even before these times or without the computer,
I could quite well have found assistance in someone who would have supported me to eat, to clean
myself and to go on. In different kinds of times,
different tactics are called for. It is the warriors’
way. We are all in our own way Pilgrims on the
Path.
But the major tactic is what lives within me: what
I have educated into myself, what I have chanted
and meditated into myself, and given myself the
gift of: the understanding of the metaphysical basis
of life.
It’s not just the world that I can see, it is the world
that I cannot see but that I can FEEL that has become at least as real for me as the trees, grasses, the
dinner on my plate, the people around me includ-

ing a Spanish speaking, soft eyed cop and a compassionate land owner in a foreign country neither
of whom understood my English and who decided
anyway to help this woman.
I have made my mind up into the knowledge that
there is reliable help and assistance to be found
anywhere. All that is needed and wanted is to
know and – to ask. None of this utter independence for me: I know I am NOT an island and I
am not alone. Get connected is my motto, tap into
the universal data base.
Remember, I am always connected and I shall be
called upon to give again what I have asked for that
the circle may be unbroken. What goes around
comes around.
All the homilies are based in a metaphysical reality that is bigger than we are and that is all around,
in and through us. What a Plan!
Not so many people understand that what they
do most every day involves metaphysical principle. Maybe I have been fortunate to have been
asking big questions my whole life. Maybe I have
also been fortunate to keep on asking even when I
did not know I was getting answers and even when
it seemed that what I was getting was not what I
could see was in my best interests.
Well, what about that anyway? I learned to trust
and if there is a message in this small piece it is:
trust.
I have re-discovered dandelions. Those precious
golden flowers we think are weeds are cosmic
messengers indicating that the rhyme and rhythm
of the cosmos is still working. Just take a good look
staring into the face of one of those flowers. Do it
at least to prove something to yourself, okay!
Well, here I am in Panama. It is a way out of
what my life for the past 70 something years has
been about first in Canada and lately in the United States. So, in order to understand myself, make
some head and tails of what I must now accomplish to move forward, I have been looking again
deeply into the metaphysics of my life and noticing again those yellow dandelions that have found
a home in tropical dirt: yup, still working!
I am being aided and abetted – well, wouldn’t you
know it? – by some serendipitous events that have
been happening. I found, for instance, a particular
URL where I could download one of my favorite
teachers interesting works.
Stuart Wilde wrote in his Taos Quintet a little
book titled: The Trick to Money is Having Some.
It shows his youth when I read it again in that he
is known to be a little of a smart ass and the telling
of the book reflects his quirky outlook. It is just
the thing right now to cause me to raise my sights,
raise my consciousness and get ready for an abundance.
The piece that I downloaded was all jumbled up
as one huge file without editing or page breaks. It
was necessary for me to tackle it as an editor to
completely re-format it and clean it up. Now what
do you suppose that means: yup, I get to read it in
a rather critical manner and take it all in again?
How timely is that? How sweet? How just right
on time for what I must now do for myself if I am
going to go forward. Motivation does have an effect, especially if one rises to the occasion, puts on
a new hat, a new coat, and steps out into the fray.
The trick to money is having some. Indeed!
I have been here in El Valle de Anton for a few
weeks. I have found a place to stay in my wee home
on wheels to work on my project, to give a little
to the woman who supports me, to sew a little for
Page 15
some good people
here in exchange for
some cash to work
with.
I am certain this is
just a way station on
the journey and that
opportunities for
raising consciousness will come
again. This one, like
all of them, is timely.
And I get to laugh
again quite heartily about how truly
fabulous the Great
Universe is for us.
All I need to do is
do it.
So I am writing this
little piece first for
me (I get to read it
first!) and for you so that you can share in my elation that once again I come upon the larger truths.
This is remind both of us that the universe has
supported us in eternity, that we are never alone,
that a way out of all the corners we may have
painted ourselves into always exists (it is an evolving plan) and that there is always a way and when
a way is found, there is always a better way.
Count on it. I have and I do. Bon appétit!
August 17: The Last Post
Dear Friends, Compadres, Cohorts, Companions, all Pilgrims on the Path, Warrior Sisters; One
and All
This is the Last Post. I do not now know today
what the outcome is to be but what must be is that
I pull back and allow what will be.
My life is fast approaching its final days.
The money that I have is dwindling very quickly. I
cannot create any income here. Although my writing is original and my ideas and plans for books
are very worthy, my writing career will take many
months to realize a return.
Every day I wake in the morning to pray and to
offer the Great Ones who are near my gratitude
and thankfulness for having been able to accumulate both knowledge and wisdom, to have endured
and been raised by the ostracisms, ridicule and
hardships of my time here to understand eternal
truth. I am blessed and spiritually fulfilled. I can
heartfully return to the celestial worlds.
I am only about a month from the end of days.
Should there be anything of me that is worth
something to you, this is the time to reach out
while there are still options open. I can return to
the United States with my green card and to Canada my original home. Ecuador is also before me:
any of these might be Amazing Grace.
And it also might be that this is the way in which
the Great Universe is preparing me for the next
phase of my own and humanity’s transformation.
I do not know how long it will take for me to grow
up enough to be able to make a difference.
Thank you all for reading my story. My plan was
to inform, entertain you and to cause you to pause,
contemplate and renew your spirit.
Love and Blessings, I pray for us all.
Your sister in eternity,
Amraah Carole White. ••

Dear HOA President DiNicola,
I allege over the last eight months that you have committed intentional
malfeasance by placing your personal interests above that of all LRE
homeowners.
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.
I refer you to your Allied electric business ad on page A-4 of the April
28 edition of the Anza Valley Outlook in which you advertise your formal
business subcontractor relationship with Anza Electric.
You failed to both disclose this relationship and recuse yourself from
voting on affected contracts months ago and you have flagrantly violated
California Disclosure Statutes AND you failed to recuse yourself from voting

Hi Mom!

on contracts in which you had a personal interest.
You illegally voted TWICE to do business with
Irontree Consulting when you were required
to ABSTAIN from voting due to your outside
business relationship with the Anza Electric Coop. A principal of Irontree sits on the Anza electric
Board and has supervisory authority over you as
an Anza electric subcontractor.
You have placed your personal business
interests above those of all homeowners by
failing to publicly disclose this formal business
relationship as well as abstain from all related
business discussions and voting.
You are reminded your primary responsibility
to all homeowners comes above your personal
business interests as outlined in the Sterling
Davis Act:
B. PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
In general, directors and committee members
must conduct all dealings with vendors and
employees with honesty and fairness, and
safeguard information that belongs to the
association.
1.
Self-Dealing. Self-dealing occurs when
directors or committee members make decisions
that materially benefit themselves or their relatives
at the expense of the association. “Relatives”
include a person’s spouse, parents, siblings,
children, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and
daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law
and anyone who shares the person’s residence.
Benefits include money, privileges, special
benefits, gifts or other item of value. Accordingly,
no director or committee member may:
solicit or receive any compensation from the
association for serving on the board or any
committee,
make promises to vendors unless with prior
approval from the board,
solicit or receive, any gift, gratuity, favor,
entertainment, loan, or any other thing of value
for themselves or their relatives from a person or
company who is seeking a business or financial
relationship with the association,
seek preferential treatment for themselves or
their relatives,
use association property, services, equipment
or business for the gain or benefit of themselves
or their relatives, except as is provided for all
members of the association.
So, as you can see, this all started because
the Journal dared to tell Harris that he was
dead wrong about Ron DiNicola breaking
any rules, and that his relationship with the
Anza Electric Cooperative was only that he
was part of the “Co-op Connections” discount
program that any local business can sign up
for. None money actually exchanges hands
between the Co-op and a business in the “Coop Connections” campaign, and it certainly
doesn’t mean DiNicola is violating any law
that Harris cited.
I tried to explain this to Harris, but he was
having none of it, and instead chose to go
on a rampaging email campaign that would
probably make Donald Trump blush.
So, in closing, if a business gets any kind of
email or letter from Harris, we recommend
that Senator Roth be contacted:

you to disclose.
Your choice - you either follow the ethics and

Again, from Roth’s website:
“While it is fortunate that such activity has
stopped, the gap between what de Hoyos was
doing versus what many others have been
doing throughout the state isn’t too far off.
Any solution to lawsuit abuses must include
a combination of improved education efforts
to inform business owners of their rights and
responsibilities, while giving them a chance to
resolve ADA violations without stiff penalties.
Senate Bill 251, by state Sen. Richard Roth,
D-Riverside, exempts small business owners
from liability if their businesses have been

any violations have been corrected within 90
