The Town Crier’s re-porting of propane pric-es and policies of the six companies that serve the Hill began after reader in-quiries. Readers said they often did not understand how prices were set and how they varied from com-pany to company.

Beginning Jan. 28, and continuing thereafter ev-ery two to three weeks, we queried local providers about pricing – first fill ver-sus subsequent fills, tank rental versus tank owner-ship and other variables that affect pricing, as well as general company poli-cies.

PHOTO BY CHANDRA LYNNMountain Center Market burglars plead guiltyBy Jp CruMrinenews editor

Both men — Ryan Ma-son and Nickolas Melen-dez — charged with bur-glary of the Mountain Center Market in Septem-ber, have pleaded guilty to burglary. Their sentencing has been deferred. Melendez, 27, of Caba-zon has his sentencing hearing scheduled for April 28.

Mason, 25, of Hemet had undergone an evalu-ation for possible residen-tial substance abuse treat-ment prior to a Felony Set-tlement Conference. Judge Mark Mandio requested Riverside County Sher-iff’s Department Correc-tions Division conduct the assessment. As a result of the report, Mason’s sen-tencing has been sched-uled for Sept. 26, while he completes a program.

He also ordered that pending enrollment and completion of the pro-gram, Mason may not be released pursuant to the agreement with the feder-al government regarding jail population levels. The two men were ar-rested on Highway 74, just west of the U.S. Forest Service’s Cranston Ranger Station, shortly after they ransacked the ATM to get the cash.

Later, the investigation identified possible links between this break-in and a string of ATM thefts in San Bernardino County. Both men were arrest-ed for burglary in a coordi-nated effort with the San Bernardino Sheriff’s De-partment. The District At-torney’s Office later filed, against both men, two charges of burglary and two charges of grand theft of more than $400,000.

The break-in occurred during the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 14, and the security cameras that owner Shane Stew-art has in all of his busi-ness locations were in-strumental in the arrest. The thieves took the ATM to McGaugh Road, where they broke into it and took the cash. The ma-chine was found there. JP Crumrine can be reached at [email protected].

LAKE HEMET56570 Highway 74, Mountain Center • (951) 659-2680lakehemetrecreation.com - Open year-round. 12 miles of shoreline. Camping, RVing, fishing, cafe, swimming and the new water play structure (open from Memorial Day to Labor Day). Perfect for families and guests looking for a fun outdoor experience.

With approximately 200 miles of dirt roads and more than 40 miles of trails open to bicyclists, the San Jacinto Mountains

around Idyllwild offer a number of experiences for mountain bikers of all levels.

For that reason, the local mountain trails have become extremely popular among riders looking for challenging routes and breathtaking scenery. Local trails provide mountain bikers with a diverse selection of roads from which to choose.

The Forest Service has mountain biking regula-tions in the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains to ensure the safety of riders and the protection of natu-ral resources. Bicycles may be ridden on established roads and trails within the mountains; however, bikes are not allowed within the San Jacinto or Santa Rosa

wilderness areas or along the Pacific Crest Trail.The Forest Service also offers these safety tips

for mountain bikers: Keep your eyes and ears open for equestrians and hikers on trails and vehicles on roads; helmets are highly recommended; control your speed; avoid riding after dark; and, carry a map (available at the Forest Service).

Idyllwild-area Mountain Bike Trails• Coyote Run: Closed until further notice. Be-

ginning at the north end of Hurkey Creek County Park and ending at the waterfalls on Hurkey Creek, this easy and scenic ride is about two miles on a dirt road closed to motor vehicles. Parking is avail-able at the day-use area within the Hurkey Creek

Mountain Biking

Licenses are required for anglers ages 16 and over with a daily bag limit of five trout during the year-round season. One-year licenses are

available to California residents at Village Hardware and Lake Hemet Market. Visit www.wildlife.ca.gov/licensing/fishing/ for 2015 license rates and free fishing days throughout California.

Equipment and bait may be purchased at Lake Hemet Market, Pine Cove Market and Village Hardware. Fairway Market and Forest Lumber also stock some supplies.

LAKE HEMETLake Hemet is stocked throughout most of the

year with rainbow trout but natural channel catfish, big-mouth bass and bluegill also provide good sport fishing. It is about 4 miles south of Mountain Center on Highway 74. It is owned and operated by the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District.

Public recreation areas are on the lake’s shores. The Forest Service maintains a picnic area for day use along the north shore, the water district on the other shores. The water district also owns and operates Lake Hemet Campground. Splash & Play Water Park is open from Memorial Day weekend to mid-September. Call (951) 659-2680.

LAKE FULMORAbout 10 miles north of Idyllwild on Highway

243, Lake Fulmor is stocked with trout from spring through summer. The 2-acre lake occasionally freezes over in winter. A parking area is across the highway from the lake so use caution when crossing to and from the lake.

STRAWBERRY CREEKStrawberry Creek is the only stream where

fishing is allowed in the San Jacinto Mountains. California Department of Fish and Game no longer stocks fish in other creeks because the streams are suitable habitat for a protected species, the mountain yellow-legged frog.

THOUSAND TRAILSThousand Trails’ seasonal fishing pond is

stocked with tilapia, bluegill and catfish. Fishing permits are $10 and free for ages 6 and under with an adult permit. Equipment and bait may be purchased at the store. Fish cleaning station located at the pond. Picnic tables and barbecues available. Call 951-659-4097 for more information.

Fishing


In 1938 MGM, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, released a 10 minute documentary entitled “Three on a Rope.” This rock climb-

ing documentary followed a group of three climbers as they made what had to be one of the first filmed ascents of Tahquitz Rock. The documentary also included a second group of three climbers, mostly for comic relief, in the Mt. Baldy area.

The commentary is pretty hokey but seeing the climbers’ equipment and watching the climbing techniques they use is a unique window into the history of the sport of rock climbing. It was only two years earlier that Tahquitz saw the first ascent of the “Trough” which was originally rated at 5.0 but has since been upped to 5.4.

There are many firsts that can be attributed to Tahquitz Rock including the decimal rating system for rock climbing. It was developed by climbers on Tahquitz but was later renamed the Yosemite Decimal System or YDS. The “Class” system starts at Class 1 for walking, Class 2 for walking with some use of the hands, Class 3 for scrambling using all four limbs on certain sections, Class 4 easy climb-ing with some exposure and maybe needing a rope for safety and Class 5 which is climbing with a rope and safety gear.

Originally, climbs were rated between 5.0 – 5.9 but as climbing gear and techniques improved the 5.9 “ceiling” was reached by Royal Robbins on Open Book in 1952. Since then the degree of difficulty has progressed between 5.10 – 5.15 with the invention of shoes designed specifically for rock climbing, better harnesses and protection helping the next generation to push the envelope.

Tahquitz saw its heydays from 1936 and on into the 60s and 70s when attention began to focus on Suicide Rock its smaller neighbor to

Rock Climbingthe north. One of Suicide’s test pieces became Valhalla. With a 5.11 rating, Valhalla was the route to conquer for a group of climbers led by John Long known as The Stone Masters.

Although Suicide routes are shorter than those on Tahquitz they now out number the routes on Tahquitz 300+ to just over 200 for the latter. There are still new routes being put up on both rocks, but most of the new devel-opment is now focused on the outlying area called the Hinterlands and also a few scattered crags in Garner Valley.

The turn of the century has seen a gigantic boom in bouldering that was once thought of as only practice or a warm up for “real” rock climbing. In fact bouldering seems to be the sport of choice for the young climbers as it is easier getting started and the cost for gear is much less.

There are now several well-developed boul-dering areas in our local mountain including Black Mountain, South Ridge, County Park and the tramway boulders at the top of the Palm Springs Tramway. The Tramway has its own guidebook and Black Mountain will soon have a separate guide if it isn’t already published.

Black Mountain is particularly popular as a summer destination because at around 8000 feet in elevation it is much cooler than the sur-rounding desert bouldering areas. Every spring the boulderers are always chomping at the bit waiting for the gate at the bottom of Black Mountain Road to open.

Although climbing is now a much more diversified sport, no matter what direction the world of rock climbing should take, Tahquitz will always have its place in the past, present and on into the future. Tahquitz still draws people from all over the planet and it remains Southern California’s biggest rock and most storied crag.
