Doesn't appear much different to the old way.
At Hemet, gliders always operated on the North side. Communication is not too
strange. It's normal to give way to firefighting aircraft.
However, landing 22 used to be OK in the dirt short of 22.
The really unfortunate thing at Hemet is that quite a few people - especially
retirees who live nearby - gave up flying as a result of the shut-down. Sold
their hangars and gliders.
If you'd like to see the runway layout:

Search HMT, then click the little red square in the airport to see airport
layout and information.
Or, on your favourite satellite imagery website, search for Hemet-Ryan. Note
the pads of the missing T-hangars.

Under the new standards, sailplane operators will be required to:
– monitor and communicate on the VHF radio frequency that all local air
traffic use;
– avoid the grassy space between the two runways;
– never use the vacant space on the northeast end of runway 4/22, except
in emergencies;
– park in areas specifically designated for gliders; and
– cease departures and arrivals when they conflict with Cal Fire air
attack operations.
