CALIFORNIA RECALL
‘Yes’ continues to lead in Riverside County

Erin Rode
USA TODAY NETWORK
New results released Thursday re-

vealed “yes” on the recall continued to
lead “no” votes in Riverside County,
with the yes side now leading by more
than 6,100 votes.
This represents a slight increase
from Wednesday’s count, which had the
yes side leading by more than 5,800
votes. Out of 712,003 votes counted,
358,062 have voted yes and 351,958
have voted no as of Thursday. There are
still about 6,000 vote-by-mail and pro-
visional ballots left to be counted.
If the results continue to hold, River-
side County could become the most
populated county in California — and
the only county in Southern California
— to vote in favor of recalling Newsom.
Regardless of the results in Riverside
County, the county’s results won’t
change the recall’s defeat statewide.
About 63% of Californians have voted to
keep Newsom in office.
Conservative radio talk show host
Larry Elder has consistently ranked first
among potential replacement candi-
dates in Riverside County, with about
60% of voters who selected a replace-
ment candidate choosing Elder. Howev-
er, about 35% of Riverside County vot-
ers skipped the second question on the
ballot.
Democrat Kevin Paffrath is leading
former GOP San Diego Mayor Kevin
Faulconer for second place, with Paf-
frath receiving 27,734 votes and Faul-
coner receiving 27,037 votes from River-
side County voters.
Riverside County Supervisor Jeff He-
witt, a Libertarian, had 4,828 votes, just
behind celebrity Caitlyn Jenner’s total
of 5,352.
Results could still shift in coming
days, as the county has about 1,000
vote-by-mail ballots and about 5,000
provisional ballots left to process. Once
all the ballots are counted, more than
710,000 Riverside County voters, or
about 55% of registered voters, will have

tion. That total would fall well short of Election volunteer Claudette Pais helps with the California Gubernatorial Recall Election at the polling place at Rancho

year that killed
4, razed homes
Olga R. Rodriguez
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO – Pacific Gas & Electric was

charged Friday with manslaughter and other crimes
after its equipment sparked a Northern California
wildfire that killed four people and destroyed hun-
dreds of homes last year, prosecutors said.
It is the latest legal action against the nation’s
largest utility, which pleaded guilty last year to 84
counts of involuntary manslaughter in a 2018 blaze
ignited by its long-neglected electrical grid that near-
ly destroyed the town of Paradise and became the
deadliest U.S. wildfire in a century.
Shasta County District Attorney Stephanie Bridg-
ett announced the 31 charges, including 11 felonies,
against PG&E, saying it failed to perform its legal du-
ties and that “failure was reckless and criminally
negligent, and it resulted in the death of four people.”

In climate crisis,
California must
expand offshore
wind energy
As our state suffers catastrophic damage from
wildfires and drought, California is at last gearing up
to develop offshore wind power.
Responsible offshore wind that protects our coast-
lines and ecosystems will be critical to reducing climate
pollution and meeting the energy goals we need to
stave off future disasters. It also promises thousands of
good jobs and a robust new clean economy.
Lawmakers recently advanced this industry by ap-
proving Assembly Bill 525, introduced by Assembley-
member David Chiu, a Democrat from San Francisco,
DAVID COHEN/USA TODAY NETWORK that would require the state to chart its strategy for off-
shore wind. Now, Gov. Gavin Newsom must sign it and
let this industry bloom out over the Pacific Coast.

4 keys to Notre Dame-Wisconsin matchup

Tyler James
South Bend Tribune
USA TODAY NETWORK
These keys to the game will likely de-

cide if No. 12 Notre Dame (3-0) can beat
No. 18 Wisconsin (1-1) on Saturday in
Chicago’s Soldier Field (12 p.m. EDT on
FOX).
1. Beat the Badgers deep
Notre Dame’s offense likely won’t be

able to rely on methodical drives due to
the high quality of Wisconsin’s defense
and the low quality of the Irish offensive
line. That leaves big plays as Notre
Dame’s best bet with the offense on the
field.
The Irish have been able to strike
with long passing plays in their first
three games with seven of 30-plus
yards, four of 40-plus yards and three of
50-plus yards. Penn State used passing
plays of 49 and 52 yards to score and flip
the field position in the second half of its
16-10 victory over Wisconsin.
Quarterbacks Jack Coan and Tyler
Buchner need to threaten the Badgers in
the passing game with the help of big-
play receivers Kevin Austin Jr., Avery
Davis and Braden Lenzy.
2. Keep Mellusi in check
Running back Chez Mellusi is the

workhorse of Wisconsin’s offense. In
the first two games, Mellusi rushed 51
times for 265 yards and two touch-
downs. At a Wisconsin program known
for running the ball, Mellusi became the

GHA’S AGUA DULCE RELEASES 10 FINAL HOMES FOR SALE.

Agua Dulce—GHA Companies, the builder behind the new home community of Agua Dulce in Desert Hot Springs
has just announced the final 10 homes remaining at this popular gated community are now available for sale.
“With demand so high for these beautiful and affordable new homes located only minutes from cities like Palm
Springs, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert, we have released the last of the homes in Agua Dulce for immediate
sale,” stated Mario J. Gonzales, founder of GHA Homes.
“Agua Dulce offers a gated community of new energy efficient homes that epitomize what living in the desert is
all about. And at prices that make home ownership a reality for those who thought they could not afford a new
home.”
With home prices starting in the high $300,000’s, and down payments as low as $3,000, Agua Dulce has already
pre-sold its first five phases of homes to eager homebuyers.
This gated community is designed with contemporary architectural details, safety and energy efficient features,
and decorator finishes that GHA includes at no extra charge. Buyers will have a choice of three plans with various
options to add rooms, a 3rd car garage and more. Each home will come complete with homeowner owned solar
panels, covered rear patios, energy saving LED lighting throughout, front yard landscaping featuring drought
tolerant plantings, block wall fencing as well as a community pool and spa. Another big plus is the convenient central valley location, near popular shopping and dining hubs, resorts, golfing, hiking
trails, and good schools.
“These are great family homes that offer home ownership with a small down payment with FHA financing, and the chance to own a home instead of renting,” stated Mario J. Gonzales, President of
GHA Companies. “Each home offers money saving features and the community pool eliminates the need for a private pool and the costs associated with a pool, plus you own the land.”
The homes are artistically designed with rich, contrasting color pallets that enhance all the finer details. Each home sits on a large homesite that ranges in size from 7,000 to 12,000 sq. ft., with plenty
of room for a private pool and various outdoor entertaining options.
Three distinctive plans are available ranging in size from 1,706 to 2,238 sq. ft of living space.
GHA is known for their environmentally friendly features, and Agua Dulce includes solar panels to help reduce the cost of electricity.
VISIT AGUA DULCE ON-LINE AT GHAAGUADULCE.COM OR CALL OR ABBY HELFAND OR LISA PERRY, 760-800-3161 TO VIEW THE MODELS.
THE COMMUNITY IS LOCATED OFF PALM DRIVE AND WEST ON TWO BUNCH PALMS.

GIVING BACK
We Are Here For You: Desert Honda

Eric Sandoval
Special to Palm Springs Desert Sun

Honda of the Desert and Toyota of

the Desert partnered with the Coachel-
la Valley Rescue Mission on Saturday,
Sept. 18, to donate 550 hygiene kits to
the homeless.
Included in the kits were a refillable
water bottle, a blanket, dental hygiene
items, body wipes, razors and shaving
cream. Half of the kits also contained
feminine hygiene products.
Employees from both Honda and
Toyota of the Desert were excited to take
part.
“Our Utah stores have been doing
hands-on projects since the beginning
of the pandemic, focusing on getting
employees involved and giving back to
the community,” said Austin Walker,
marketing manager for Honda and
Toyota of the Desert, “and we used that
concept.”
This project is the first in Honda and
Toyota’s We Are Here for You program.
“The main goal of our program is to sup-
port the community that helps support
us,” Walker said.
Another goal, according to Walker, is
to involve employees who want to help
others. “We have a lot of employees that
want to volunteer but don’t know how, Employees from Honda and Toyota of the Desert show off the hygiene kits they created to donate to the Coachella Valley

Inland Empire Community Foundation
Alianza Coachella Valley was

launched in 2010 with a 10-year invest-

ten years, the organization created an al-

Following this finite sponsored initia-

to improve the health, vitality and op-

grand opening. Since then, the organiza-

serve the community but has grown as it
faced rising need.
Alianza launched into relief work at
the onset of the pandemic with emer-

Eastern Coachella Valley and has been
continuing now for a year and half with
PPE handouts, testing and education
and more than $2.3 million in direct cash

Broadway aims to razzle-dazzle at Tony Awards

Mark Kennedy
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK – Broadway is in need of

a boost these days so it has smartly
called on one of its most beloved,
award-winning stage veterans for help –
Audra McDonald.
McDonald has been tapped to host
the Tony Awards on Sunday, a telecast
which theater producers hope can serve
as a splashy advertisement that a post-
pandemic Broadway is inching back to
normalcy.
“I was honored that they asked me,
and I am so happy to be a part of bring-
ing Broadway back online, as it were,”
McDonald told The Associated Press.
“Broadway is my family.”
The typical three-hour awards show
this year has been expanded to four,
with McDonald handing out Tonys for
the first two hours and Leslie Odom Jr.
hosting a “Broadway’s Back!” celebra-
tion for the second half, including the
awarding of the top three trophies – best
play revival, best play and best musical.
(The Tony Awards air 7 p.m.-9 p.m. ET/
PT on Paramount+, followed by the sec-
ond show from 9 p.m.-11p.m. ET/PT on
CBS.)

10 tips for stunning vignettes

Cathy Hobbs TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The successful decoration of a space often

hinges on the proper selection of the appropriate
accents and accessories. Often this is greatly in-
fluenced by not only what pieces are selected, but
how various objects are placed or grouped to-
gether. Enter the vignette.
Vignettes are groupings of objects that look
harmonious and appealing when placed together
and help to enhance the overall look and feel of a
space. When looking to create vignettes, there
are some key tips to keep in mind.
1. Create a vignette upon entry. A foyer or entry
Decorative objects including greenery and a vestibule is the perfect place to place an appeal- A vignette of accessories in a monochromatic
coffee table book, creates a welcoming color palette makes a dynamic vignette when

ing and welcoming vignette that can

also serve to introduce the overall style
of a home.
2. Look for objects that are of vary-
ing heights. This will help add interest
for the eye.
3. Consider using items that add a
sense of contrast, such as placing black
and white objects together. A long expansive sideboard is adorned with three vignettes to help add interest and color.
4. Create sets of vignettes on longer
surfaces.
5. Build a vignette around an inspi-
rational or dynamic piece. In other
words, select an object that may be a
focal point and then choose other items
that will be complementary.
6. Place vignettes on larger surfaces
such as consoles, sideboards and cof-
fee tables, as opposed to smaller sur-
faces such as side tables to avoid
crowding a surface.
7. Incorporate greenery whenever
possible. Add blooms for more color
and texture.
8. Consider incorporating finishes
into the colors of your vignettes such as
brass or silver.
9. Pair objects of similar colors to-
gether, such as a vignette of mostly
black objects.
10. Look for ways to create a wow
factor with unique or unexpected
pieces.

“If someone gave me a billion dollars,
I couldn’t get all of them back,” Weeks
said.
The auction on Friday was attended
by about 30 people and started with the
1991 arcade game “Road Riot 4WD, but it
was out of order and needed repairs
selling for $150. Shortly after, “Alien
Storm,” a 1990 shooting and fighting
game, fetched $4,000. An original
“Mortal Kombat” cabinet from 1992
went for $2,100, and a sequel, “Mortal
Kombat 3,” for $2,600.
One highlight was the 1984 game
“Turkey Shoot,” which sold for $16,000.
In 2015, the Guinness Book of World
Records acknowledged the museum as
the record-holding site for the most
people playing pinball simultaneously.
Weeks said some of the 331 participants
are coming to the auction to purchase
the machines they were playing on that
day.
“That’s kind of cool,” Weeks said.

Bounty hunters
murder in connection with Spann’s death, which hap-

pened during a chaotic confrontation in the morning
hours of April 23.
The transcripts obtained by The Desert Sun from
the Riverside County Superior Court provide a written
record of the audio recorded on the body cameras of
two Palm Springs police officers — Rhett Arden and
Emmi Kramer — who responded to the scene where
Spann was fatally shot by Herrera in their presence.
It documents approximately 50 more minutes of
body camera footage that has neither been played in
court nor released to the public. The footage does not
include regular time stamping, but does capture the
discussion between officers about who the shooter is
and what authority a bounty hunter does or doesn’t
have within minutes of Spann being shot.
‘Did we hit him?’
Right before Spann was shot, Arden had deployed

his Taser but it failed to fully incapacitate Spann. What
came next was the focus of two days of testimony to
determine if the case against Herrera would go to trial.
Both transcripts of the videos record that Arden
said: “Taser. Drop it. Shoot.”
However, both attorneys and the judge debated
during the preliminary hearing if Arden said after fir-
ing the Taser: “Got ‘em,” “drop ‘em,” “drop it” or some-
thing phonetically similar.
Within two seconds of Arden saying “shoot,” ac-
cording to the body cam time counter, a single shot can
be heard as the officers turn and retreat down the
stairs.
“Did we hit him?” Kramer asks.
“He’s hit,” Herrera said.
“Shot fired and taser deployed,” Arden can be heard Fabian Herrera reacts to seeing the body camera footage of himself shooting David Spann during Herrera’s

Colorado River concessions say business up, water level down

Adjusting to severe
drought takes time
Bryan Horwath
Las Vegas Sun
LAS VEGAS – As Chad Taylor looked

toward the Callville Bay Marina Lounge
from a houseboat on Lake Mead, he re-
flected on a much different time.
In the mid-1990s, the building was
right at the water’s edge. Today, it’s
nearly a quarter-mile from the shore-
line.
Taylor, whose father was then gener-
al manager of the marina, works as mar-
keting director for Lake Mead Mohave
Adventures, a boat rental and recrea-
tion company that sets customers up for
getaways on Lake Mead and Lake Mo-
have.
Lake Mead, which is fed by the Colo-
rado River, is at its lowest water level
since Hoover Dam was completed and
the reservoir filled in the 1930s.
The water level now is 1,067 feet
above sea level, about 35% of capacity,
according to the federal Bureau of Rec-
lamation. A pronounced “bathtub ring”
of mineral deposits shows the decrease
since the lake level peaked at 1,225 feet

recently revealed a small boat that once
sank below the surface of the lake and
has now reemerged.
“Who knows what history is in this
boat,” Taylor said. “With the water lev-
els going down, there’s new things and
places to explore.”
After inspecting the boat, Taylor
climbed onto a dock, which was being
taken apart, piece by piece like a Lego
set, so it can be moved farther into the
lake. It’s a continuous process for a crew
of several dock workers, some of whom
were contracted by Lake Mead Mohave
Adventures for the sole purpose of play-
ing dock dominoes.
Part of the process involves lifting
dock anchors with a crane on a boat.
The anchors weigh thousands of
pounds.
“Every one of the screws in these
pieces of dock were put in by hand,”
Taylor said. “I used to do that as a kid, all
day, every day for months.”
Moving docks can get expensive for
the company, but sales have increased
since the onset of the coronavirus pan-
demic in early 2020, Taylor said.
“When COVID hit, people decided
they wanted to get outside more.
Groups started coming and they haven’t
really stopped coming,” he said. “Our

State to replace
the word ‘alien’
in its laws
Adam Beam
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO – California will strike the word

“alien” from its state laws, getting rid of what Gov.
Gavin Newsom called “an offensive term for a human
being” that has “fueled a divisive and hurtful narra-
tive.”
Newsom on Friday signed a law that removes the
word from various sections of the California state
code. California passed laws in 2015 and 2016 that re-
moved the word from the state’s labor and education
code.
But the law Newsom signed on Friday finishes the
job by removing the word from all state laws. The
word will be replaced with terms like “noncitizen” or
“immigrant.”
“By changing this term, we are ensuring Califor-
nia’s laws reflect our state’s values,” Newsom said.

posturing shows
downside of
elected sheriffs
Bianco’s pandemic posturing a reminder of the
drawbacks in elected sheriffs
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco has had a lot
to say during the pandemic, much of it bombastic
and ill informed. But his latest rhetoric — which in-
cluded saying he “will not enforce the vaccine man-
date on Sheriff's Department employees” — reached
a new level.
A top law-enforcement officer, who has 4,000
employees and has sworn to protect a county of 2.4
million, seemed to suggest he wouldn’t enforce a le-
gal state health order he doesn’t personally agree
with. In the same statement where he
talked about not enforcing vaccination
rules, Bianco called himself “the last
line of defense from tyrannical gov-
ernment overreach.” He has said
whether to take the vaccine should be
a personal choice.

statements saying his words were tak-

rules. But if he didn’t engage in such political postur-

LATE FRIDAY: CATHEDRAL CITY 28, INDIO 21 RYDER CUP

ASSOCIATED PRESS
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – The pressure

and drama so typical of the Ryder Cup
finally arrived on Saturday, with one
big difference. The suspense was
whether Europe could try to make a
game of it.
The Americans held their own over
the final hour as Dustin Johnson com-
pleted a perfect week of team play and
Scottie Scheffler delivered the biggest
putt of his young career.
That staked them to an 11-5 lead,
their largest ever against Europe and
their biggest in the Ryder Cup since
1975.
No one has ever come back from
more than a four-point deficit in Ryder
Cup history. That’s the order facing
Europe, which has yet to win a session

49ers look to avoid home letdown

Josh Dubow

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Staying on the

road between East Coast games has
been a successful formula for the San
Francisco 49ers under coach Kyle Sha-
nahan.
The problem has been how they
played once they got back home. Shana-
han and the Niners are looking to change
that pattern when they host the Green
Bay Packers on Sunday night after open-
ing the season with road wins at Detroit
and Philadelphia.
This is the fourth time under Shana-
han that the team stayed East between
road games and the Niners (2-0) have
won the back end of those trips every
time. But they’ve been flat once they re-
turned home, surviving a five-turnover
performance to beat Pittsburgh in 2019
and then losing to Atlanta later that year
and the Eagles last season.
“We talked about it, which I think is
the most important thing, being aware of
it because I don’t think we did realize
that in the first year,” Shanahan said. “I

Dodgers win to keep pace in NL West race

David Brandt
ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX – Tony Gonsolin’s second

pitch of the game was smoked by Arizo-
na’s Josh Rojas before Los Angeles left
fielder A.J. Pollock robbed a potential
extra-base hit, leaping at the warning
track to snag the line drive.
Gonsolin raised his arms in the air,
then tipped his cap to Pollock.
It wasn’t the last time the Dodgers
pitchers would get some big-time help
from their defense Friday night.
Pollock added a two-run homer,
Chris Taylor robbed a pair of potential
extra-base hits on defense in the ninth
inning and the Dodgers kept pace in the
NL West race by beating the Diamond-
backs 4-2.
The Dodgers (99-55) remained one
game back of the San Francisco Giants
(100-54) with eight games left for both
teams. The Giants also won Friday,
beating the Rockies 7-2.
“I’m sure they’re looking at us saying
‘They just keep winning,’” Pollock said.
“And we’re looking at them saying ‘They

ENTRE-OS-RIOS, Portugal – Beneath terraces of vineyards and olive trees in the undulating landscape of northern Portugal so
alluring that the region has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a crowd of locals gathered to watch our boat squeeze
through one of five narrow locks on the Douro River. h Parents lifted children over their shoulders while others waved and
cheered from a bridge above the lock as the Scenic Azure headed east toward the Spanish border. I took in the scene from the
boat’s glass-enclosed wheelhouse and voiced my surprise at the size of the crowd to the captain. Had all these people come just to
watch us pass through a lock? h “It’s like a party for them,” said the Azure’s Capt. Paulo Jesus, who has been piloting vessels on
the Douro since 2012. “The Portuguese people love watching the boats.” See CRUISE, Page 7C

which generates philanthropic support for a wide variety
of charitable institutions, advancing philanthropy forward

Celebrating its 61-year milestone, National Philanthropy Day
is a special day set aside for the purpose of recognizing the great
contribution philanthropy makes to our society. Here in the
Coachella Valley, it is a day when we pay tribute to our own –
the exemplary local philanthropists, businesses, and support
organizations who give so generously of their time, talents, skills,
and !nancial support, in order to make our community a much
better place for us all. The Desert Communities Chapter of AFP
believes that philanthropy bene!ts not only our own communities,
but enriches and empowers the global community. NPD offers an
opportunity to re"ect on the true meaning of charitable giving
and the spirit that makes such generosity possible.
Please tune in and support this event that bene!ts all programs
and services of the Association of Fundraising Professionals
CA, Desert Communities Chapter.
