HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE

The long awaited opening of Mt. Vernon Ave. to Palmyrita Ave. was com-pleted on Dec. 2, 2008 by the Riverside County Transportation Department.

On Aug. 18, 2008, I sent an e-mail to Juan Perez, Director of Transportationfor Riverside County and I ask for the K-rail to be removed at the intersectionof Mt. Vernon and Palmyrita. He replied that the signing of the easement docu-ments were holding up the progress of Mt. Vernon being used as a public right-of-way since Spring Mountain Ranch was into receivership. The paperworkproblem has been solved and traffic can now use this new road. Thank you toJuan Perez, Supervisor Ashley, the Riverside County Economic DevelopmentAgency and Steve Berry, Assistant City Manager of Grand Terrace for helpingget this road opened! Unfortunately, this work was done right after we went toprint for our December issue and we had to wait until this time to make a publicannouncement and thank those who participated.

Mt. Vernon to Palmyrita re-opened Greyhound Bus/Metrolink Service What do they have in common? Location, Location, Location!

There are no residents in the area ofthe triangular shaped Penhall propertywhich has RR tracks on one side, thewalls of an existing warehouse on an-other side, and the remaining side willbe along the elevated part of the IowaAve. overpass. Access to this propertywill be under the proposed Iowa Ave.overpass on the south side, and parallelto the BNSF RR tracks. The Grey-hound Station would be within walkingdistance of a future Metrolink Stationnear the train shown in the picture. IowaAve. is also along the Riverside TransitAgency’s (RTA) existing bus route 25between Riverside and Loma Linda.Two forms of bus transportation wouldbe available close to the proposedMetrolink Station. A Metrolink Stationis needed for present commuters be-tween Riverside and San Bernardino,and future rail commuters between Riv-erside and Perris. Four types of trans-portation would be located in the same

area: Greyhound & RTA bus service,Metrolink commuter train service, andautomobile traffic could use the newproposed 1/2 mile road between CitrusSt. and Spring St. when trains block thegrade crossings. This short road couldgo through the vacant property northof the new warehouses on Citrus St.that is the same property needed forthe curved track from the Perris Val-ley Line to the BNSF main lines!Back on Aug. 4, 2008, I met with Riv-erside City Manager, Brad Hudson andhis assistant Belinda Graham in Brad’soffice to discuss my plan to relocateGreyhound to the outskirts of Riverside.I have never heard from them in re-sponse to my proposal! But I keep read-ing in the Press Enterprise about howRiverside wanted to move Greyhoundto the west side of the I-215 freewayby Columbia Ave. and that fell through,and how they are considering buying

Public Hearing for 40 acre development goes toBoard of Supervisors Jan. 13, 2009 at 1;30 pmRepresentatives of the 40 acre parcel of vacant land in the middle of High-grove, owned by the Bixby Land Co., have requested to “Fast track” theirproposed development of 11 warehouses and office buildings and change thezoning from IP (Industrial Park) to MSC (Manufacturing-Service Commer-cial).All 5 of the Highgrove Municipal Advisory Council members and 2 alternatesopposed these changes in writing to the Riverside County Planning Commis-sion prior to the Planning Commission meeting on Nov. 5, 2008. But the Plan-ning Commission authorized the change in zoning over our objections and thedecision now goes before the Riverside County Board of Supervisors on Jan.13, 2009. The meeting will be held on the 1st. floor of the County Administra-tion building, 4080 Lemon St. in Riverside. Interested parties are encouragedto attend and speak under public comments. Cards must be filled out andpresented to the clerk of the board and there is a 3 minute time limit to expressyour views.The written notice states: 11 warehouses and office buildings ranging insize from 6,112 sq. ft. to 67,432 sq. ft. for a total of 370,595 sq. feet.This project also proposes 586 parking spaces.(A copy of this notice is available at www.highgrovehappenings.net)The consultant wants you to believe it is a “Business Park” but the noticestates:“11 warehouses and office buildings”!The warehouse/buildings are being built on speculation and there are no ten-ants who have agreed to occupy these buildings. And no new jobs will becreated until they are occupied. In addition, this project has no provision forany community services such as a shopping center, market, bank, post office

or other service related businesses that Highgrove so desperately needs. Thisproject will have a major impact on our community because the increasedtraffic will include more trucks! Their new north/south road between CenterSt. and Spring St. will only accommodate trucks onto Center St. because notrucks over 6 tons are allowed on Prospect Ave. in either direction at SpringStreet. Trucks will have to use Center St or go east on Spring Street. If theyencroach onto our restricted neighborhood streets, it becomes another en-forcement issue placed onto the CHP.In this economic slump, it does not seem feesable that these buildings will beoccupied very soon with so many “For Lease” and “Available” signs on exist-ing warehouses close by, on the south side of the arroyo. This project skipsover Bixby’s own 27 acres of vacant land on the north side of the arroyo. Sofar, all of the new warehouses have been built south of the arroyo but thisproject will change that! Highgrove needs “services”- not warehouses! For comments from the city of Riverside please turn to Warehouses P. 5

out Greyhound for $625,000 to get themout of their $1.00 per year lease agree-ment.

Then on Dec. 15, 2008 I met withRiverside County Supervisor, BobBuster to talk about relocating Grey-hound and also to discuss the HighgroveMetrolink Station. This property is withinhis jurisdiction as County Supervisor butit is also within the city limits of River-side. He informed me that Greyhoundwas interested in the property on thesouth/east corner of Center St. andIowa Ave. in Highgrove. But movingRiverside’s problem to Highgrove is notthe answer and I oppose this locationbecause it is too close to our businessesand residences.

That same day (Dec. 15, 2008), Igave CD copies of my Greyhound planto Supervisor Buster, to Jaime Hurtadofor Supervisor Ashley, to Juan Perez,Riverside County Transportation Direc-tor, and to the city of Riverside for BradHudson, Belinda Graham, and Council-man, Mike Gardner, who is the city coun-cilman in ward one where this propertyis located. Then on Dec. 20, 2008 I

talked to the owner of the property wholeases to Penhall Trucking and sent hima copy of the photo shown on the frontpage and asked him to view the Grey-hound portion of our web site. He iswilling to listen to my proposal that in-cludes talking to the city of Riversideabout relocating. If Penhall Truckingwere relocated, this would be an ideallocation for Greyhound since they needa building to use for their station.

The CD that I gave to the City andCounty officials is available for yourviewing by visiting our web site atwww.highgrovehappenings.net

and clicking on “Greyhound”. (Thanks to Bill Hahn for preparing thisfor our web site)

NOTICE:There will be a meeting of the

Transportation Committee at 1:00pm on Jan. 8, 2009 on the 7th floorof the Riverside City Hall, 3900Main St., to discuss the possibilityof finding a new location for theGreyhound Bus terminal in the city.

The public is invited to attend!

Old Farts Racing Team/ Toys for Tots Christmas donationsOn Dec.13, 2008 the Old Farts Racing Team held a party at the business ownedby Bill Wasson in Riverside. The admission to the party was to bring a gift thatcould be given to a child for Christmas. The area in front of the Christmas treewas filled with gifts for the children. I counted 8 bicycles plus many other smallergifts. The gifts were given to the CHP who has a screening process to see whoneeds toys for Christmas. This and many other programs like the “Spark ofLove” are good examples of showing the true Christmas spirit that says it isbetter to give than receive. We commend all of you for sharing your good fortunewith those kids who may not be as fortunate.We hope your holiday season was filled with love as we begin the new year!

Barrier on Mt. Vernon at Spring St. removedIn preparation for opening Mt. Vernon Ave. to Palmyrita Ave., the intersection atMt. Vernon and Spring St. had to have the barrier removed that blocked thesouthbound lane and the intersection had to be repaved and striped. New strip-ing was painted between Mt. Vernon and Palmyrita and both intersections.

Hugo Munoz, a crew member of the Riverside County Transportation Dept.directed traffic on Dec. 1, 2008 during the repaving of the intersection.

If you look closely through the grader, you can see the truck sweeping the road .

The new pavement was compacted by this machine and now its nice and smooth

This sign was seen on all of the equipment and we thank them for their work!

The crew above is shown using the asphalt paving machine at the corner ofMt. Vernon and Spring Street. There are large pipes under this intersectionthat were placed there as part of the flood control portion of the SpringMountain Ranch grading and portions over the pipe had settled makingthe pavement uneven. The potholes were filled several weeks ago and nowthe new asphalt has made the intersection nice and smooth and will enabletraffic to get from Mt. Vernon Ave. to Palmyrita Avenue.

This truck is used to paint the lines in the road. The paint operator is shownat the rear of the truck in his compartment. Communication between thedriver and the painter is essential to put the lines where they belong.

Here is a close-up of the truck! Crushed glass helps us see the lines at night.

Once the lines were painted, the signs were removed and I think I was the firstone (besides the crew) to drive over the new road to Palmyrita Avenue.

Dial-A-Ride Ridership Continues to ClimbAgency’s Overall Ridership On Pace to Hit Record

Gas prices may be going down but that hasn’tslowed down RTA ridership, including Dial-A-Rideservice.

The Riverside Transit Agency experienced an-other ridership increase during November and re-mains on pace to reach eight million boardings for the year, which would bethe most in the Agency’s 31-year history. New information released thisweek shows 658,000 systemwide boardings in November, a 19 percentincrease compared to November of last year. Ridership on CommuterLinkexpress routes was up 69 percent from a year ago and Dial-A-Rideboardings climbed 23 percent.

The Agency’s Dial-A-Ride program is a curb-to-curb advanced reser-vation transportation service for seniors and persons with disabilities. RTAhas two types of Dial-A-Ride service: 1) Senior/Disabled service and 2)ADA Priority Service, which is given to persons certified under the Ameri-cans with Disabilities Act.

Many customers use the service to travel to senior centers, the grocerystore, entertainment venues and medical appointments. Others use it to travelto and from developmental workshops for the disabled.

Seniors age 60 and above and persons with disabilities are eligible forlocal DAR service within a single city and within three quarters of a mile oflocal fixed route bus service. Persons who are ADA certified are eligible fortrips throughout the RTA service area and within three quarters of a mile oflocal fixed route bus service.

The base fare for DAR service is $2.50 per passenger, per boarding.Reservations may be made by calling (800) 795-7887.

This project has also been reviewed by the city of Riverside since Highgrove iswithin their sphere of influence. The letter from the city Planning Director to theCounty Planning Department dated March 21, 2008 stated in part: “Theproposed warehouse uses are thus inconsistent with the area’s existingdevelopment pattern, particularly given its adjacency to sensitive landuses including Highgrove Elementary School, the Highgrove Libraryand the surrounding established residential neighborhoods:” In an-other portion of this same letter it states: “Tentative Parcel Map No. 35612identifies Parcel # 14 as a detention basin. Given the fact that estab-lished residential uses exist adjacent (to the west) to the proposed de-tention basin, Planning Division staff recommends that such deten-tion basin be moved to a more central location within the proposedproject”.

88 Apartment units planned in HighgroveAs many of you already know, there is a new library planned near the intersection of Center St. and Michigan Avenue. Just before Christmas I met with Jaime

Hurtado from Supervisor Marion Ashley’s office and Anthony Mize from Homebuilders LLC to discuss the proposed construction of 88 apartments south of thenew library. The plans show 56 units with 989 sq. feet, 16 units with 1,153 sq. ft. and 16 units with 1,219 sq. feet. A layout was given to me and I told Mr. MizeI would publish his proposal in the “Highgrove Happenings” and ask for community input. He is aware that the existing residences along Michigan Ave. are ½ acrelots and there have been previous objections to high density housing during the Spring Mountain Ranch planning.

The developer has been invited to our Municipal Advisory Council meeting on Jan. 28, 2009 at the Norton Younglove Community Center, 459 Center St. inHighgrove. The meeting starts at 7:00 pm and the public is invited to attend and speak under public comments or send your written comments to oure-mail at: [email protected] Here is a layout of what is being considered by the new library. Public comments encouraged:

Editorial: Neither one of the newly proposed developments; the 40 acre Bixby warehouse construction by the School; nor this additional pro-posal to build 88 apartment units (above), have addressed the need for a new east/west road between Spring St. and Citrus Street. Any new develop-ments in Highgrove should include a provision for providing this important road to accommodate future traffic created by their projects.The Bixby project shows 586 new parking spaces and Center St. will be the main route for trucks in or out of the area. Spring St. has no westwardaccess but could be used if it were extended ½ to Citrus St. near the future Iowa Ave. overpass. If this new short road is not built and new develop-ments continue to seek approval of their projects without a provision for any new east/west road, then we will be headed for even more traffic jamson our existing streets when freight trains block Center St. and/or Main Street. The 1/2 mile extension of Spring St. westward to Citrus St. is essentialbecause with this new short road, any traffic on the east side of the BNSF RR tracks would not have to cross over the RR tracks to get to Riverside orSan Bernardino. This road would go parallel to the BNSF tracks on the east side and connect to Citrus St. at the base of the new Iowa overpass.

Three year old Billy Barnett on his “Big Wheel”- 1973 in Grand Terrace.

I gave him an electric scooter 4 years ago (see photo bottom left) and hemade it into a front wheel drive electric big wheel with a water bottle behindthe seat and a squirt gun by the handlebars. He was a checker at Stater Bros.in Grand Terrace but now lives in Oceanside and has been a tatoo artist for 12years-but he has no tatoos. Below are some other examples of his art work.

The Southern California Edison Com-pany has played an important role in thesettlement and continued of the KernRiver Valley since the year 1900. in 1972over 2 million dollars of property taxeswere paid into the Kern County Trea-sury by the Edison Company, half ofwhich was used exclusively for schoolsand roads. Even outweighing the finan-cial ability to this area are the contribu-

tions made by the company’s employ-ees and their families as they lived andworked here on the Kern.

It might be interesting therefore tolook at the early development of theSouthern California Edison Company. Anoverview of the Company’s success andCalifornia as a whole is necessary tobetter understand their accomplishmentshere. A good place to begin would bethe year 1879 when Thomas Alva Edisonperfected his incandescent lamp. Threeyears later he officiated at the opening

Colton Christmas Parade

Councilwoman (and former mayor), Diedra Bennett was in our 57 Chev. Con-vertible and if you look closely you can see a reflection of the car in her glasses.This photo was taken by her daughter from the back seat during the parade.

We followed this antique fire truck in the Christmas Parade on Dec. 6, 2008

of the first central power plant locatedon Pearl Street in downtown New York.Among Edison’s first 59 customers wasthe New York Times, where workmenhad rigged 25 lights in the editorial of-fice. When the incandescent lights cameon for the first time at 5:00 pm, Sept. 4,1882, a veteran reporter summed up thehistory making occasion with thesewords:

“It seemed almost like writing bydaylight to have a light without a par-ticle of a flicker-and scarcely anyheat to make the headache”.

That was the beginning of America’selectric utility industry. Before this, iso-lated plants had served individual users,but Edison’s Pearl Street Station wasthe first attempt to extensive and con-tinuing distribution of bulk electricalpower. Within 4 years the demand forthis new kind of power had spread acrossthe United States. In 1887, some 600electric light companies were in opera-tion, although few of these made a seri-ous effort to provide electricity on around-the-clock basis.

In that year, two such small compa-nies began service in Southern Califor-nia, one at the community of Highgrovenear Riverside, and the other at SantaBarbara.

At Highgrove, the first commercialservice from a hydroelectric generatingplant in California became a reality as aresult of negotiations between CharlesR Lloyd of San Francisco and the Riv-erside Water Company, owners of acanal under construction near High-grove.

Lloyd was a behind-the-scenes typeentrepreneur who, throughout the earli-est days of hydroelectricity development,was likely to be found involved in manydeals in which commissions were to bemade. Near Highgrove, the RiversideWater Company’s canal dropped 50feet, and Lloyd saw an opportunity tobuild a small hydro plant to provide lightsfor Colton and Riverside. On May 8,1886, Lloyd concluded a tentative leaseagreement with the water company toinstall a 12 horsepower waterwheel atthe drop in the canal, at a lease price of$1.00 per H. P. per month. However,water was not let through the canal un-til April of 1887, and as other develop-ers also wanted to use the drop, Lloyd

finally had to up his bid to $250.00 permonth.

When the lease was concluded, Lloydengaged Gustavus O. Newman, ChiefEngineer of the Riverside Water Com-pany, to design and build the Highgroveplant.

(Newman later became Chief Engi-neer of the Pacific Light and PowerCorporation.)

The plant, as originally built, was awooden building containing a singlewaterwheel driving a direct current dy-namo. The plant went into service inSeptember 1887, supplying power for 15arc lights in Colton and 15 in Riverside.

In 1888, Lloyd organized the SanBernardino Electric Light and PowerCompany, and its principal priority wasthe Highgrove plant into which severaladditional dynamos were installed asdemand picked up. In 1896, Highgrovewas extensively rebuilt in order to pro-vide electricity for streetcars in nearbySan Bernardino. A steel penstock re-placed the wooden flume, and the origi-nal arc machinery was replaced by aGeneral Electric 150kw, 3 phase,2,220-volt alternator, operated by two waterturbines connected by belting. Powerwas stepped up to 15,000 volts for de-livery to Colton and San Bernardino.

In 1903, the Highgrove hydro plantbecame the property of the Pacific Lightand Power Corporation, a predecessorof the Southern California Edison Com-pany. The last important power deliveryfrom Highgrove was made in Decem-ber 1914. The plant burned down inMarch 1915. However a substantial partof the plant remained in 1973: the stoneand concrete forebay, the penstock thatstill carries water beneath Iowa Avenue,and the concrete piers of the plant-areall in a lot surrounded by eucalyptustrees. And until 1952, the Edison Com-pany leased power privileges on the sitefrom the Riverside Water Company at$250.00 per month.

We would like to thank Marge Pow-ers for granting permission to printthis portion of the article written byher late husband.Also, Thank you to Brenda Salas andthe Riverside County Economic De-velopment Agency for restoring thisimportant historical marker about theHighgrove Power Plant. The marker is located on the west sideof Iowa Ave. south of the intersectionof Iowa Ave. and Spring St. about 1/2block across the street from Zorbas.

A new year gives us the opportunityto look back at what the last yearbrought, allowing us all the year-end giftof hindsight. Sometimes we might gainsome insight into our fellows or evenourselves. At a minimum we are giventhe chance to give thanks.

The Economy: One small group ofgreedy-self-serving bankers virtuallycaused the collapse of the economy innearly entire world. What started outto be a small mortgage disaster hasturned into an economic catastrophewith ramifications that has touched vir-tually everyone in one way or another.I think we all know someone who hasbeen directly affected by the currenteconomic debacle. No one seemed tohave envisioned the depth of the failurewhen the collapse started. This houseof cards fell absolutely flat. This is oneevent of 2008 that we will be talkingabout at the end of 2009 as well.THANKS: that America is still one ofthe most abundant and (relatively) leastexpensive places to live.

The Election: No matter whom youwere for or against, we Americans votedfor “someone” in big numbers. A record122,842,626 Americans cast their votein the November 2008 election. Iwanted a front row seat so I worked ata polling location in Ontario. Voters atthe polling location were as varied asAmericans themselves. Many voterscould not speak English or read and astartling number of voters did not knowhow to complete the ballots as this wastheir FIRST election. No, they werenot newly-minted 18 year olds. Butthey wanted to vote in “this” election

New Year Thoughts and Thanksand “be a part of history”. I hope theyand everyone else has learned that ev-ery election is a part of history and willstay involved. THANKS: EveryAmerican has the right and the oppor-tunity to vote. Exercise that right often.

The Ecology: Earth Day was cel-ebrated again. More companies andbusinesses are joining the green band-wagon. More products are “green”and more reusable shopping bags areavailable for purchase than ever. Youcan get a minimalist reusable bag fromStater Bros. for $1 or for $27.95 youmay purchase a chic Timbuk2-HiddenBackpack made from 90% post-con-sumer recycled plastic bottles and con-tainers. (Find these atwww.reusablebags.com) No matterwhat style of bag you want to carry,please remember to grab a reusableone. THANKS: to all the companiesand business that are truly making aneffort to reduce their “footprint” on thisplanet and not just riding the greenband-wagon.

Smoking: Still kills at the rate ofnearly one-half million per year. Mymother died of emphysema in Febru-ary. She did not have heart disease,diabetes, or hypertension. She hademphysema, period. Her lungs rottedout and we all watched her slowly suf-focate to death. It was hard to watch.And it was clearly due to 64 years ofsmoking cigarettes. Pretty harshwords? Yes. THANKS: to the nursesat Kaiser Hospital in Fontana who madeher last days as comfortable as pos-sible. They were true angels and aGod-send to our family.

The “Scenic Route”: I used to takemy girls the back way into Riverside,

enjoying the sea of green trees, inhalingthe hypnotic fragrance of orange blos-soms, and listening to the hawks andowls screech. After many years andmany, many postponements the road isfinally open and it is not the least scenicanymore but we at least have our backway into River-city. THANKS: …mmmm…. still thinking… OK- thatthe big housing development is stalleddue to the economy. A dubious andtemporary silver lining.

Education $$$$ Cut$: Theekanomee in Cauliforneeah i$ $o badthat the govner ha$ had to cut million$of dolloar$ from our $chool$. Witoutmoney how arr are kid$ gonna lurn towryte and reeed? Thi$ i$ an unparal-leled cri$i$. No proper edukay$hunwill bee a $iriu$ nale in the coffin ofthi$ $tate’$ future. Writing like thi$ willnot be a joke, but average. THANKS:that I benefited from the core funda-mentals in education at Highgrove El-ementary many years ago and am nowa college educator and am able to teachmy students.

Riverside County Animal Shelters:Cute and cuddly for a bargain! TheRiverside County Department of Ani-mal Control on Wilderness Ave. inRiver-city has one of the most orga-nized, well run-facilities in the InlandEmpire. The dogs, cats, and other smallcritters are kept indoors in clean, well-lit kennels behind security doors. Thiskeeps them safe from other animals, apreying public and potential diseases.The facility has a low-cost spay, neuterand vaccination clinic right next door.You can choose a wonderful family petand if it hasn’t been spayed or neutered,probably pick it up the next day after it

has been. The cost for their first shots,being spayed or neutered, and theadoption is ridiculously low- about$100 for a dog. That is a bargain!THANKS: to the shelter for beingthere. My friend took me there for mybirthday and I chose the most darlinglittle puppy for my gift. “Holly” will bea treasure for many years. There aremany more waiting for you!

The year 2008 will not go down asone of my favorites. I lost two familymembers as well as a four-legged fam-ily member. My son-in-law came backfrom Iraq an angry and violent man- adanger to my daughter and grand-daughter. The economy has hit me andmy family hard as well and due to thestate budget cutbacks, I have to keepmy fingers crossed from semester tosemester at Valley College where Iteach. I look at 2009 with some trepi-dation, holding my breath and whisper-ing a prayer for a better year. My dear-est nephew Steven, a USMC Corpo-ral, is being deployed early 2009. Iwill not sleep well until he returns safely.However, I do give THANKS: I hada beautiful grandson born in March-Brady McConnell Christensen, and myother grandchildren, Cara Elise andTerry Charles Christensen III are ingreat health, brilliant and full of life. Myfriends and family, although we are get-ting on in years, are in pretty goodhealth and all are working. I am verythankful for what I have now and darenot ask for more than that. I can onlypray God keeps all healthy and happy.

Happy New Year toYou and Yours….

Dr. Cindy

by Dr Cynthia Williams

By Ellen BlackMy veterinarian gave me this

formula late one night in response tomy frantic call when one of my dogsgot sprayed by a skunk. Whether adog or other animal is directly sprayedor has just rolled in the scent, thisformula will work. I have soakedclothes in it and been able to wearthem again..

The formula., developed by chemistPaul Krebaum, first appeared in anarticle that appeared in the October18, 1993 issue of Chemical andEngineering News..

First, wipe off the dog with clean,dry terry cloth towels to remove theoil-based skunk spray. This part iscrucial as the towels help remove theoil of the spray, which is the hardestpart to get rid of. It is a good idea todouble bag the towels and throw themaway. Washing them will spread theoil inside your: washing machine. If thedog has been sprayed in the face, useas many dry towels as necessary toremove the oily residue. Then wash thearea around the face with a “no tears”baby shampoo.

Now for the formula. In a bucketmix: 1 quart fresh hydrogen peroxideOne (1/4) cup baking soda 1 teaspoonliquid dish soap. (1 use Dawn.) Freshhydrogen peroxide, from an unopenedbottle, is essential. If the bottle youhave on hand has already beenopened, this recipe may not work.

Hydrogen peroxide loses its chemicalproperties and turns to water overtime. Use a fresh bottle that has notbeen opened to be on the safe side.

The mixture will bubble.Thoroughly wet the victim in thismixture, taking care to keep it out ofthe eyes. Wash and rub the dog withthe mixture as if it were shampoo,while it is bubbling. Then rinse the dogwith clean water. In warm weather thiscan be done outside with a hose. Incold weather, I do it in the shower.

Of course this means I have to takea shower with them! Do anotherapplication of the formula, and repeatthe dean water rinse. The soap breaksdown the oil in which the odor: issuspended, and the hydrogenperoxide and the baking sodaneutralize the scent. Do not premix thesolution or store it in a bottle. Thebubbling will cause it to rupture: thecontainer. I keep a copy of thisformula, and all the ingredients bothat home and in my vehicle first aid kit.The hydrogen peroxide is also goodto induce vomiting if a dog has eatensomething they should not such aschocolate.

My vehicle first aid kit is for dogsas well as people.

2009 New Year Resolutions and their Life ExpectancyHappy New Year everyone!! It is another year and I have spent the last two

weeks making up my New Year Resolution list. And this year, I promise tostick to it. Really. Maybe your list will look like mine. So, here goes:

I promise to quit smoking. Hey!! Who stole my darn lighter?I promise to quit drinking alcohol. Okay. A beer is 3.2 percent alcohol and

there is 16 ounces in one can but if I drink just 2 ounces of Jack Daniels and therest is coke or sprite, I have cut back on my intake of alcohol. Right? Good.Then just one more JD before breakfast won’t kill me, right. Then I can eatbreakfast, which will soak up the alcohol intake and then I can drink in mod-eration during the football game. That reminds me, I need to get a bag of icefor the ballgame.

I promise to lose 10 pounds during the first month. Let’s see now, it isJanuary 15th and I have yet to lose a pound, what is the problem here? Honey,these darn scales are broken. We need new ones. Oh, while I am taking mybath, I would like some biscuits and gravy for breakfast and throw in a coupleof eggs and hash browns. No, no jelly on my biscuits. I’m cutting back. Justgive me the maple syrup and I’ll put just a little on one of them. Honey, is realbutter fattening?

I promise to do more exercising in my spare time. Honey, I’m going to takea walk around the block and work up my appetite. Darn, it is cold out hereagain. The heck with it. I’ll walk two blocks tomorrow. Honey, what’s fordinner? I hope you made mashed potatoes to go with my 12 ounce steak.Honey, I told you I was going to lose weight. I could have bought a 16 ouncesteak but I didn’t. See, I am really trying to lose some weight. Now pass methe gravy for my mashed potatoes.

I promise to go to church EVERY Sunday. Honey, we have got to get anew preacher. This one talks to darn long and I miss the opening kickoff on myNFL game. Let’s just go to Sunday school and skip church. We got to get ridof that preacher. The Packers are on today and they are playing the Giants. Ican’t miss this one. Okay, you are right. We could go to evening service butthen I would miss the NFL doubleheader. I firmly believe God would punishme if I missed Brett Favre against Peyton Manning. I don’t even think Godwould go to church during this game.

I promise not to yell at the kids. Honey, you have got to be kidding. Whichone of these idiot kids of yours parked his bike behind my truck? Okay, whichone of you monsters is responsible for me running over your bike?

I promise to clean out the garage. Okay, honey. Now really. Where am Isupposed to put all this extra stuff? And no, it is not junk. I need all this stuff.Listen, we will just get a tarp to cover the car while it is outside. There. Nowwe have more room for more stuff. See. There is a solution for every problem.

Several people whodo not live here any more but once wereinstrumental in getting Grand Terracestarted such as Tom Tillinghast at-tended. It is always a good dinner withcomprehensive speeches made by suchas Tony Petta, Grand Terrace’s firstmayor.

Editor’s note: The opinions ex-pressed in this article are theviewpoints of its author and donot necessarily reflect the view-points of the “Highgrove Hap-penings”

Tom Schwab was on hand andlooked quite chipper after a long illness.He spoke about wanting to come backto his job as City Manager and FinanceDirector part time and declared that hewould work under Steve Berry who hasbeen acting City Manager in Tom’s ab-sence.

After the dinner the city held its regu-lar monthly council meeting which wasshort and all problems dealt with dis-patch.

NEW SHOPPING AND BUSI-NESS CENTER BEGUN

You have probably noticed the cor-ner of Mt. Vernon Ave. and Barton Roadon the northwest side where a lot ofdemolition is going on. Several of theformer stores are not longer there and itis obvious that the building of the shop-

Grand Terrace celebrates 30 years as a city!

L-R Grand Terrace City Council: Walt Stanckiewitz, Bea Cortes, Mayor MaryettaFerre’, LeeAnn Garcia, and Jim Miller are shown cutting the 30th anniversary cake.

North/west corner of Barton Road and Mt. Vernon Ave. in Grand Terrace.

Tony Petta, was the first Mayor ofGrand Terrace back in 1978.

the area is replete with debris from thebuildings including concreted blocks,lots of wood walls and floors and pilesof waste is being collected and hauledaway. It will be interesting to see whatwill be there.

Grand Terrace does not always sup-port such places as hardware stores.For example, we have had several that

could not compete with Home Depotand Lowe’s. One such made the effortin the building where Walt Stanckiewitzand his family run the Pasta Italia res-taurant. The owner of that hardwarebusiness told me that people wouldrather drive several miles to Squires inColton or Home Depot to save a fewcents rather than pay their prices herein Grand Terrace. It will be interestingto see what takes place there.“HIGHGROVE HAPPENINGS”THANK YOU PARTY.........A DELIGHTFUL EVENING!

One of the nicest evenings I havespent in a long time was at the home of“Barney” and Ardie Barnett our pub-lishers. They invited all of the staff ofthe paper to their beautifully decoratedhome in Highgrove. We were served adelicious meal and lots of camaraderie.Dr. Cindy Williams came as did JerryLoving. Writers and delivery personswere on hand and “Barney” gave us avery interesting talk about the historyof the paper.

Jerry Loving talked about his trav-els to China. Ardie was beautiful asusual in a lovely outfit (everybodydressed even yours truly) and Ardieagreed with almost everything “Barney”said!

A game was played that I was notfamiliar with. The guests were given anumber and they then choose a gift fromseveral that are bagged in colorful sacksand then after you see your gift if youdon’t want it, you can trade it to some-one else for their gift. It was a lot of funand they all teased me because I hadreceived a beautiful soft blanket that Ijust loved and did not want to trade.Everybody wanted to get it from meand teased me about not wanting to giveup my “blankie.” FINIS

Several new laws designed to helpstrengthen existing DUI laws(Sacramento) With a new year on thehorizon, the California Highway Patrol(CHP) wants to remind motorists of ahandful of new laws, passed by theLegislature and signed by GovernorSchwarzenegger, that go into effect in2009.“The overall safety of the motoringpublic is our primary concern,” saysCHP Commissioner Joe Farrow. “Notonly will these new laws enhance amotorist’s safety, many of them are astep toward ridding the roadways ofdrunk drivers and the tragedy theycause.”Below are the major changes to drivingregulations and vehicle equipment.Texting While Driving (SB 28,Simitian) This new law makes it aninfraction to write, send, or read text-based communication on an electronicwireless communications device, suchas a cell phone, while driving a motorvehicle. Previously this was only illegalfor individuals under 18 years of age,but now has been expanded to alldrivers.Driving Under the Influence (DUI)Zero Tolerance (AB 1165, Maze) Thisnew law prohibits a convicted DUIoffender from operating a motor vehiclewith a blood alcohol level (BAC) of .01percent or greater while on probationfor DUI. The law requires the driver tosubmit to a Preliminary AlcoholScreening (PAS) test, a portable breathtest to determine the presence ofalcohol. If the driver refuses, or if thedriver submits and has a BAC of .01 orgreater, a citation will be issued, thedriver’s license will be taken and drivingprivileges will be suspended. In addition,the vehicle will be impounded.Ignition Interlock Devices (IID) (SB1190, Oropeza) This new law reducesthe BAC from .20 percent to .15 percentor more at the time of arrest to trigger a

requirement for the court to giveheightened consideration for theinstallation of an IID for a first-timeoffender convicted of DUI of analcoholic beverage.Ignition Interlock Devices (SB 1388,Torlakson) Effective July 2009, this newlaw transfers authority for theadministration of mandatory IIDprograms from the state courts to theDepartment of Motor Vehicles (DMV).This law also authorizes the DMV torequire any driver convicted of drivingwith a suspended license due to a priorconviction for DUI to install an IID inany vehicle that the offender owns oroperates.Alcohol-Related Reckless Driving(AB 2802, Houston) This new lawrequires the court to order a personconvicted of alcohol-related recklessdriving to participate in a licensed DUIprogram for at least nine months, if thatperson has a prior conviction for alcohol-related reckless driving or DUI withinten years. Additionally, the court isrequired to revoke the person’s probationfor the failure to enroll in, participate in,or complete a licensed DUI program.Global Positioning Systems (GPS)(SB 1567, Oropeza) This new law allowsa portable GPS device to be mounted ina 7-inch square in the lower corner ofthe windshield on the passenger side ofthe vehicle, or in a 5-inch square in thelower corner of the windshield on thedriver’s side. These are the only twolocations on a windshield where a GPSdevice can be mounted. The GPS devicecan only be used for navigationalpurposes while the motor vehicle is beingoperated, and it is required to be mountedoutside of an airbag deployment zone.Motorcycles (AB 2272, Fuentes) Thisnew law changes the definition of amotorcycle by deleting the weightlimitation and deleting the separatedefinition for electrically poweredmotorcycles. The law will now allowfully enclosed, three-wheeled vehicles

to have access to high-occupancyvehicle (HOV) lanes regardless ofoccupancy.Clean Air Stickers: Misuse andPenalties (SB 1720, Lowenthal) Thisnew law makes it an infraction foranyone who forges, counterfeits,falsifies, passes, or attempts to pass,acquire possess, sell, or offer for sale agenuine or counterfeit “Clean AirSticker.”911 Telephone System Abuse (AB1976, Benoit) This new law increasesthe penalties for any person whoknowingly uses, or allows the use of, the911 telephone system for any reasonother than an emergency. Those whomisuse, or allow the misuse of, the 911telephone system are guilty of aninfraction, and subject to either a writtenwarning or a fine.Special License Plates (AB 190,Bass) This new law, when approvedby local authorities, allows veteranswhose vehicles display plates honoringPearl Harbor Survivors, Legion of Valorrecipients, former American Prisonersof War, Congressional Medal of Honorrecipients, or Purple Heart recipients topark their vehicles that weigh not more

RINGING IN THE NEW YEARWITH NEW LAWS

than 6,000 pounds gross weight, withoutcharge, in any metered parking space.Studded Pneumatic Tires (AB 1971,Portantino) This new law allows the useof pneumatic tires with retractablemetal-type studs, year round, as long asthe studs are retracted between May 1through October 31. However, the lawprohibits a tire with retractable metal-type studs on a vehicle from being wornto a point that the metal-type studsprotrude beyond the tire tread whenretracted.Spilling Cargo Loads (AB 2714,Keene) This new law eases restrictionson cargo loads of straw or hay to allowindividual pieces that do not pose a threatto life or property, to escape from balesof straw or hay that are beingtransported by a vehicle upon a highway,so long as those bales are loaded andsecured according to federal regulations.Assault on Highway Workers (SB1509, Lowenthal) This new law providesan increased penalty for assault andbattery crimes committed againstCaltrans highway workers who areengaged in the performance of theirduties.
