Wonder Valley Fundamental Plan
The first step toward having an official “community plan,” is the creation of a “fundamental plan.” According to the County, a community plan guides “...local expectations for County services and set a clear direction for the future of each unincorporated community.”
The Wonder Valley Fundamental Plan begins with YOU filling out the survey: https://tinyurl.com/wvplan
The Fundamental Plan relies on SWOT analysis. SWOT is Strengths/Weaknesses and Opportunities/Threats. Understanding these binaries will help you in filling out the form. They also look at values and aspirations, and focus statement, defined below.
From the survey:
Strengths and weaknesses are considered to be internal to the community, or things the community has control over.
Opportunities and threats are considered to be external to the community, or things that affect the community, but that they have little or no control over.
Many ideas can fall into multiple categories (for example, an existing park may be a strength, but maintenance of the park may be a weakness; a new park may be an opportunity). You may put topics in more than one category.
Values and aspirationsDuring the third exercise we are asking you to provide information on what you value about the community currently and what aspirations you have for the community in the future.
Values express what really matters in your community. For example, dark skies, close-knit community,or local history.
Aspirations are a future state you would like to see in your community that supports the community's values. For example, a park, more community events,remain rural, improve the local economy, preserve the natural environment, etc.
Focus statements for the community. We ask you to provide input on the direction of the community, including changes you would like to see and aspects you want to remain the same.
When thinking about Focus ideas, think about the overall changes for the community to make. You'll be able to list 5.
At the end they ask about:

- Historical Information
- Community Amenities (For example, parks, trails, schools, etc.)
- Community Organizations
- Community Events
Please do try to fill out the survey. Don't worry about us being inundated with a plethora of County services. We’re still farther out than anyone wants to venture.

Desert Trail, January 25, 2018
The Wonder Valley Cleanup got rid of a lot of trash and many, many tires! The burned-up bedspring on Blower Road is even gone, thanks to Ted Meyers and John Aylsworth. Great going, Wonder Valley!
January 20 was Teresa Sitz’s first day as our new coordinator. As her first “official act,” she has contacted Pat Rimmington from the Twentynine Palms Historical Society to help us create a Legacy Program to preserve our Wonder Valley history. Photos, plaques, letters, awards and other documents will all be scanned and uploaded to a free online photo gallery that everyone can access. If you do not have Internet access, you will be able to view everything at our Wonder Valley Community Center, 80526 ½ Amboy Road near Blower Road. There will also be real photo albums for people to look through. This is a great idea and will preserve our memories into the future. If you have any memorabilia of any kind, you will be more than welcome to scan it in at the community center as soon as the Legacy Program is set up. Call Teresa at 760-367-9880 for information.
The Godwin Christian Fellowship building inauguration was a well-attended and uplifting celebration. Keynote speakers included San Bernardino County Supervisor James Ramos, Twentynine Palms Mayor and president of the Ministerial Association Rev McArthur Wright and his wife Evangelist Alfreda Wright. Great music was provided by The Luminators, and a delicious luncheon was served following the official ribbon cutting by Supervisor Ramos. Pastor Max Rossi and wife Olympia are rightly proud of this wonderful building that is a real asset to Wonder Valley.
A special meeting on rural healthcare will be held on Wednesday, January 31 at our community center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Marge Doyle, Board President of the Morongo Basin Healthcare District, will provide information and answer questions. Call Teresa at 760-367-9880 for further information.
We send out Rainbows-of-Garnets-and-Carnations to Vida Hamilton who celebrates her special day this week. Happy birthday, Vida!
Lake Louise is no more! Several months ago, our grader operator Tim Candelaria worked extensively on the road directly in front of the Meyers’ house that would always become a giant lake and mud bog with each rain, getting larger and deeper as time went on. The result is that following our recent rain we didn’t even have a decent-sized puddle out there! Thank you, Tim. By the way, Karen’s husband Ted named Lake Louise after our mom who loved the rain! If you have questions, comments, complaints, compliments or information regarding road maintenance, please leave a message for Tim at 760-367-9880.
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.

Water Reports and other water issues
Water test results for 2016 and 2017 for the well at Station 45 in Wonder Valley. The highlighted portions indicate chemicals in the water over state standards, including : bicarbonate, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, boron, chromium, magnesium, calcium, arsenic, potassium, and sodium.

ON THE ISSUE
Please read the Center for Disease Control | Rural Water Supplies and Water-Quality Issues
15% of people living in the U.S. are not served by approved public water systems.
California Drops Tough Chromium-6 Standard, Sara Jerome, August 16, 2017
The standard was dropped because the state "failed to properly consider the economic feasibility of complying."
Please realize that the decision was based on costs, and not what was best for the health of the people. if we do not know the health effects of chromium at these lower levels we may be arguing against our own best interests. Anecdotal information, as in, "I've consumed this water for 40 years and I'm fine," are not scientific and do not adequately address the health issues associated with our water. People who died early, perhaps due to water issues, are not here to tell their side of the story.

December 2017 Crime Stats
There were no real surprises in the Crime Stats for December 2017. The number of calls were down slightly, as was the percentage of reports to calls. The numbers for December 2015 were provided by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. They stopped providing us these numbers in October of 2016. Teresa Sitz, the MAC Delegate for Wonder Valley, has been teasing our stats out of media reports since May of 2017. This is tedious work. The stats are unofficial, and there is a small margin of error.
A change in numbers does not reflect a change in service. A change in numbers can reflect a change in the willingness to call the Sheriff's Department, with reports and arrests adjusting in response.
If you call the Sheriff's Department, ALWAYS ask for an INCIDENT NUMBER. Please write it down.
It's difficult to assess, in any quantifiable way, the quality of service that we receive from various county agencies. The percentage of reports to calls may not be of much use, but it is one metric that is available to us when others, including monthly crime stats, are not. The residents of Wonder Valley want to maintain an effective Neighborhood Watch, but without assistance from the Sheriff's Department, and without meaningful metrics to gauge how we are doing in our efforts, results are anecdotal at best. We are left not knowing how to best spend our energies in crime prevention.

There were approximately 6 calls for burglaries in December, with one arrest. This was at the Wonder Valley Thrift Store where 3 people were arrested. An additional arrest was on a warrant.
Because we are lacking crime stats between October 2016 and April 2017, I've taken a three year slice when stats were available - May through September. Reports per calls peaked last year in July at 16.9% and declined steadily until December when it peaked again at 11.7%.

The Sheriff's Department has really stepped up to help us with illegal shooting in Wonder Valley. Detective Dominic Vaca has been assigned to address the problem and came to last month's meeting to hear resident's complaints and offer advice.
Vacation Rental and AirBNB Tax Collections
Important:
Airbnb will collect and remit occupancy taxes in Twentynine Palms, CA
If you have vacation rental property in Wonder Valley listed on AirBNB, you may have received a notice from them that a transient occupancy tax ("TOT") and a Tourism Business Improvement District (“TBID”) Assessment will be collected from your guests and paid to Twentynine Palms.
Wonder Valley shares a zip code with Twentynine Palms (92277) so this notice was probably sent to all VR owner/managers in the area, including those in Wonder Valley.
We, in Wonder Valley, are an unincorporated area and are under the governance of the County of San Bernardino and not Twentynine Palms. No properties in Wonder Valley should be assessed TOT or TBID taxes to be paid to the City of Twentynine Palms. If this happens to you, please notify your MAC Delegate, Teresa Sitz, at teresa.sitz@gmail.com.
