INSIDE ARE YOU BEING SEXUALLY HARASSED AT WORK? Startling surveys show that one in four women are sexually harassed in the workplace. Numerous unlawful acts go unreported due to the fear of the repercussions for speaking out, including possibly losing a job, fear of personal safety, or being isolated within the work environment.

Robbie was born in 1950, whose dad also served in the military. When Robbie was asked if he was homeless, he replied with a very inspiring response: “As long as you have a roof over your head and a ci�zen of this great country, you are blessed and that’s all that ma�ers.”

Local VETERAN’S DAY. 2016. WHERE WE ARE NOW.

By Sharon O�s

Written In Honor and loving memory of John “PETE” Peterson 1946-2015. Vietnam Vet, Father, Husband, Son, and “Brother”. Along with November comes a special day that recognizes those who have given their lives to protect and serve the United States of America and the people who dwell within its boundaries. Veterans Day holds great significance among the military and those who support our country. The history of Veterans day goes back to WW1. According to, military.com November 11,1918 was officially marked as a holiday signifying the end of WW1 which was originally called Armis�ce Day. In 1938 the day was recognized as a day to honor WW1 veterans. 1954 marks when this day became the day to honor all those who have fought in any war. On September 20, 1975, President Gerald F. Ford officially changed the name to Veterans Day. Veterans Day has not always been popular and not all Veterans have been honored the way in which they deserve. The Vietnam Veterans had the worst of the worst of treatment not only by the public but also by the government. During the 60’s as the sexual revolu�on roared and equal rights was the hot topic among society, other issues were happening that many were not fully aware of. Brewing in South east Asia was a war that will never be forgo�en. The dra� was ini�ated for The Vietnam War on December 1, 1969. If you were a man born between 1945-1950 you were entered into a lo�ery and if your birthday was pulled you were going to fight in Vietnam.

Menifee Buzz—www.menifeebuzz.com According to, sss.gov there were several dra�ing dates. As the war con�nued, social construc�ons were built among society that viewed the Vietnam Veteran as cold hearted, blood thirsty baby killers. These men, when released from duty were flown into big ci�es where they were greeted not by a warm welcome home as many our current day Veterans are. They were welcomed by a hateful crowd screaming obsceni�es, spi�ng, and throwing objects at the them such as tomatoes, eggs, etc. They were scorned and mistreated not only by the public but by the government as many suffered from the effects of the war and how they were treated when they came home. My own father, Pete was among these men. His life was riddled with the effects of the Vietnam War. Many days and nights were spent alone hiding from it all. PTSD surfaced and it affected his en�re life. He found refuge at a very special VA Center in Riverside, CA where he met some of the best people to help him come to grips on his situa�on. They helped us as a family learn to deal with the issues caused by the Vietnam War experience. Despite being dra�ed, Pete never regre�ed Vietnam, in fact he found as much joy as he possibly could in it. He talked about the landscape, the weather, the hoots he took, and the villagers and how much they were able to help the allies. The sad part was that it took the government nearly 25 years to give the help needed and even that we had to fight for over and over with the help of our newfound friends from the Riverside VA Center which was closed shorty a�er we found it. Along with �me and educa�on, society learned that these men were not the horrible baby killers they once were thought to be but in fact they were very patrio�c, performing a life endangering act for their country and for the people who despised them. Years later Pete found refuge with a special group of veterans who shared the same experiences and offered each other the support they needed to help deal with military experience and war. Some Vietnam Vets s�ll feel jaded and withdrawn, so if you see one it would be very nice to say “Welcome Home and thank you for serving” The welcome Home part is the welcome they never did receive when they stepped off the planes from Vietnam. And when you see any Veteran they appreciate a simple, “Thank you for serving”.

THE PEOPLE OF MENIFEE HAVE SPOKEN… OUR NEW MAYOR WILL BE NEIL WINTER!

WE ALSO HAVE YOUR RESULTS FROM NOVEMBER 8TH ELECTION

By: Michelle Rivas

Neil Winter, 62 has never held an elected oﬃce however just like our newly elected President it did not stop the people to vote for him. Winter received 11,223 votes - 51.53 percent of the total votes cast for mayor. Mann, who won two-year terms as mayor in 2012 and 2014, received 10,556 votes, or 48.47 percent. Winter said Sco� Mann did call him to oﬀer his congratula�ons. Winter admits he does not know everything about poli�cs. But he does promises that he is a fast learner and has stated in his campaign that he will be a "full-�me mayor". So far we have seen him shine and in a short amount of �me his supporters say they were impressed and they also see his willingness to make himself available to residents. "I want people to know I'm approachable and I'm going to be there for them," he said. "I think people respected that. It's very gra�fying." Winter will be sworn in as mayor at the Dec. 7 city council mee�ng. He said he hopes to set up mee�ngs next week to begin the transi�on. Lesa Sobek and Greg August will be returning as council members as they ran unopposed this �me around.

Menifee City Council, District 1 • Greg August (unopposed): 5,953 Menifee City Council, District 3 • Lesa Sobek (unopposed): 4,041 Here is the list of the different measure and posi�ons that were voted on in Menifee: Measure Q Menifee Union School District bond to build addi�onal schools and educa�onal facili�es. • Yes: 12,495, 59.74 percent • No: 8,420, 40.26 percent Measure DD: the 1% sales tax increase that will be used for vital services in the City of Menifee including traffic conges�on, maintaining local police/fire protec�on emergency response �mes, and preven�ng cuts to youth/senior/disabled programs. • Yes: 14,319, 67.13 percent • No: 7,011, 32.87 percent Measure EE: to change the term of office of Mayor of the City of Menifee from two years to four years and if amended, would be ac�ve star�ng a�er the November 2016 elec�on. •Yes: 15,256, 73.85 percent •No: 5,403 26.15 percent Measure FF: If the Mayor of the City of Menifee serves four year terms, then the Mayor of Menifee would have the same term limita�ons as members of the City Council of Menifee. •Yes: 11,372, 55 percent •No: 9,303, 45 percent It was great to see all the ci�zens of Menifee vo�ng and having their voice heard.

THANKSGIVING: FACTS, TIPS, & TRICKS The Very First Thanksgiving Menu To celebrate the first successful corn harvest in 1621, a group of Pilgrims and Na�ve Americans held a three-day fes�val that’s now known as the first Thanksgiving. While history regarding the menu is a bit murky, the boun�ful feast definitely included venison and wild fowl (probably duck or geese). Wild turkeys were common at the �me, so it’s likely they were served as well. And, of course, the corn that they had harvested was eaten. Although corn was boun�ful, now-tradi�onal trimmings like sweet potatoes and potatoes were not served, since these vegetables weren’t common then. Also absent were the pumpkin and pecan pies and other sweets synonymous with today’s feasts. Dessert at the first Thanksgiving was probably limited to fruits like berries and stewed pumpkins since the Pilgrims’ sugar supply had dwindled by that fall.

ity incredibly simple, and no worries about bits le� inside the bird.

Roas�ng chickens or turkeys breast-side down will help keep the breast meat moister.

Roas�ng Turkeys When roas�ng turkey, roast as usual, then carve all meat from bones and place carved meat in juices from turkey. Add chicken broth to cover meat and cover. Store in refrigerator overnight and reheat in 350 degree oven just before serving next day. The turkey will be even be�er tas�ng than just cooked and it will be moist and already carved for your turkey dinner.

Storing Le�overs Within two hours a�er roas�ng, remove stuffing from turkey and carve the meat off the bones, then place in the refrigerator or freezer. For refrigerator storage, wrap the turkey slices and stuffing separately and eat within three days. To freeze, wrap in heavy foil or freezer wrap, or place in a freezer container. For the best taste, use stuffing within one month and turkey within two months.

TRY SOBOBA… FOR BRUNCH! If you look to the East you will likely see a few mountains out in the distance. One of these mountains is San Jacinto. At the bo�om of the mountain is a beau�ful golf facility known as the Country Club at Soboba Springs. One of the features of this lovely area is the eatery known as the Maze Stone Restaurant. I have enjoyed both dinners and lunches

there. But as you probably know by now, one of my favorite pas�mes is to enjoy a relaxing champagne brunch. Most of the brunches available now are an item of the menu which includes a glass or two of the bubblies. Here at Maze Stone, the champagne is bottomless and an old fashion all you can eat buffet. Another thing that sets the Maze apart is that each Sunday it has a different theme. It may be an Italian theme, a Mexican theme, or an all American theme. This keep things interes�ng. I must say my favorite is the Italian theme. Yum! All of these different items will have a host of

great dishes and include an omelet and carving sta�on. Talking about a carving sta�on. They offer prime rib and I mean prime rib not a rump roast disguised as prime rib. Most everything I have tried has been excep�onal. The food is well seasoned. Not that hospital flavor you find at so many “all you can eat buffets.” Even the champagne itself is a decent quality for a bo�omless brunch. The atmosphere is “classic” with a lovely view of the golf course and the service is just fine, whether you come in for the brunch, a nice lunch, or a great dinner! They do have a Monday night Prime Rib Special as well and a Happy Hour with fantas�c appe�zers.

CAPRESE ON A STICK "This is a great, easy ﬁnger appe�zer. I came up with it because I love Caprese but it was diﬃcult to serve at large par�es. Pu�ng the same ingredients on a toothpick yielded great results." INGREDIENTS 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved 1 (.6 ounce) package fresh basil leaves 1 (16 ounce) package small fresh mozzarella balls toothpicks 3 tablespoons olive oil salt and pepper to taste DIRECTIONS Thread a tomato half, a small piece of basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball onto toothpicks un�l all ingredients are used. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato, cheese and basil, leaving the end of the toothpick clean. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Call within for more informa�on I know you will enjoy this treasure tucked away at the bo�om of Mount San Jacinto. PS.

Health & Fitness HOW ARE YOU SHOWING UP? If you are not showing up 100% in your workouts, what else are you not showing up for? Have you ever considered that your workouts or lack thereof are directly related to the rest of your life? You rela�onships, career and financial success are all connected to how you show up in your health. If we are lacking in one area of our life, chances are other areas are also suffering. Imagine for a second that you were at your ideal weight, you ate healthy, were full of energy and you did a workout on a regular basis. Now take that image and relate it to the other categories. If you had more energy, how would you show up in your rela�onships? If you felt great, how would you show up in your business or job? If your rela�onships were great and your career was thriving, how would your financial life look? I think many �mes health gets pushed to the back burner. We swear we will get to it when we have �me. When we have more

money to invest in a trainer or a gym membership. Many of us never even take our health seriously un�l we have to. When the doctor tells us that we now have to take a prescribed medica�on or when we ﬁnd out that the scale has moved way further then we thought in the wrong direc�on. I urge you to look at all areas of your life and imagine the improvements that could happen if you just focused on your health. 5 Easy ways you can integrate health and ﬁtness into your life Make it a priority and write down your goals.

HEALTHY MENIFEE WELLNESS PROGRAM KEEPS RESIDENTS FIT Healthy Menifee, the City's new wellness program, recently introduced the Geoff Lang Fitness Course and the S.A.F.E. (Seniors Ac�ve & Fit Enrichment) program, equipment that accommodates both at Lazy Creek Park. a variety of physical abili�es, and a new, quarter-mile walking trail The outdoor fitness course includes around Lazy Creek Park, offering a five different sta�ons with exercise safe place to exercise. The outdoor fitness equipment meets Americans with Disabili�es Act requirements for accessibility and is available for use by all Menifee residents during park hours, which are from sunrise to sunset. Menifee's S.A.F.E program for the 55 and be�er community features a walking program, a fitness program where par�cipants can track progress and a gardening/healthy ea�ng program. Informa�on for S.A.F.E ac�vi�es is available online at www.cityofmenifee.us or at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center. In March 2016, Menifee Valley Health Systems awarded the City of Menifee Community Services Department a $50,000 grant to begin the Healthy Menifee program. In addi�on to the outdoor fitness course and the S.A.F.E. program, grant funds are being used to install ADA accessible ramps, improving accessibility to Lazy Creek Park, and to complete enhancements to the community garden located at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center.

like to feel, look or weigh? Then consider what would happen in 5 years if you didn’t focus on your health? Write these things down and then put that somewhere you can see it as you wake up. This will keep you mo�vated and keep your goal in front of you. Plan it out. When we fail to plan, we plan to fail. I know life is busy and some�mes adding one more thing to the schedule feels impossible. The reality is all you need is 20 minutes to get moving and you can make a tremendous diﬀerence in your health. Wake up a few minutes earlier, schedule it into your lunch break or as soon as you get home from work, invite your kids/friends/spouse/dog for a walk or a run. Keep track of your progress. If we don’t know where we started, we can’t possible know where we ended up. By keeping track, we can see what is working and what isn’t. We can use this to adjust and see how we can improve. This also allows us to see our progress and celebrate what we have accomplished…just don’t celebrate with a piece of chocolate cake. Take small steps. You don’t have to change your life overnight. By simply changing a few things we can achieve tremendous results. For example, if we are Starbucks lovers, maybe you can switch out that Carmel macchiato for a black coﬀee with almond milk. Maybe order a salad instead of

fries with your lunch or opt for water instead of soda. Be kind to yourself. We all mess up, make mistakes and order the wrong thing at the restaurant. The key here is to acknowledge what you did and then get back on the wagon. Many of us hop oﬀ the wagon and then ditch it. Don’t ditch the wagon. If you are ready to hop on the wagon and are ready to improve all areas of your life, I recommend joining our new 555 challenge. 5 people, 5 weeks and 5 mo�va�onal habits that will send you on a health journey that last a life�me.

FIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER FOR BETTER LOOKING SKIN

your skin is living in a polluted area of the world. Since our skin is the largest organ with many pores, we collect a lot of pollutants. Pollutants such as chemicals in the air break down your skin by a�acking its natural protec�on mechanisms. Always cleanse your face thoroughly and be sure to keep hydrated and moisturized. An exfoliant is a safe way to effec�vely rid your body of pollutants along with staying hydrated. Diet and exercise. One without the other negates part of the posi�ve aspects of each. We have heard in one form or another how important diet and exercise is to our health. Well, our skin will benefit as well. If you prac�ce a diet lacking in nutrients you may experience malnutri�on, which affects the skin, hair and nails. Exercise helps distribute the good nutrients in your diet to aid circula�on and provide oxygen to the skin. This will go a long ways toward beau�ful skin well into older age. Age. You can’t do a lot about ge�ng older, but you can be aware of the inevitable changes which occur with age and address those problems. Taking the previous factors into considera�on will keep you feeling and looking your best as you age. The sooner you start, the be�er you’ll feel. You can combat aging skin by keeping it hydrated with water, clean and supple by using the correct moisturizer. There are other factors - such as hormones, genes, smoking, alcohol and stress, which definitely take a toll on the health of your skin. Some (such as genes) you can’t help, but you can use the latest scien�fic findings and beauty treatments to combat the harmful results. Your esthe�cian will gladly recommend the proper treatment. If you constantly neglect your skin, you’ll be exacerba�ng the effects of everything you can’t control – such as air pollu�on. Maintain a good skin care regimen – both inside and out - to ensure your skin keeps its elas�city and glow.

As an esthe�cian, I see many diﬀerent skin types and condi�ons. There are ways to protect our skin from natural elements. The ﬁrst thing that comes to mind for most of us when thinking about what may harm the skin is the sun. S�ll, the popula�on seems obsessed with tanning and lying in the sun for hours at a �me. You don’t have to be one of them. So don’t forget your sunscreen and possible wear long sleeved

tops during those harsh summer days. The toll on your skin is tremendous and being prepared will give your skin a be�er chance to look clear and more vibrant. In addi�on, consider these other factors when monitoring your skin. Of course not all factors will have the same harmful results, but knowing them will help you and those you love. Lack of hydra�on. I have a hard �me remembering to drink as much water as I should. I get so caught up in my day that I may eat instead. Shame on me. I know water is essen�al to keep the skin supple and moist. Water helps diges�on and circula�on which are two elements important to clear, healthy skin. I can tell during a facial or while I am waxing a client if they have been drinking enough water. The texture of the skin or the way the wax responds to skin is a telltale sign. Without water, no organ in your body will func�on as it should and since the skin is an organ, it will become dry and wrinkly if not properly hydrated. Cold and windy climate. I am from Chicago, and don’t miss those long, cold winters. Those days of layering before work are in my past since I longed for warmer weather on the west coast. If not careful, winter is detrimental to your skin’s condi�on unless you prepare properly for it. Dry and itchy skin is the result of a brutal winter, but a good moisturizer and proper skin care will help combat these condi�ons. As we’re coming up on the winter months, seek moisturizers that oﬀer deep condi�oning without clogging your pores. Pollu�on. One of the silent problems for

MENIFEE CITIZENS REJOICE AT THE 2016 FALL FESTIVAL

By: Michelle Rivas

On Saturday October 29th, the City of Menifee and the Menifee Chamber of Commerce hosted the Fall Fes�val and Oktoberfest. It was a big hit with the ci�zens of Menifee! The event had something for everyone including trick-or-trea�ng for the li�le ones, a kid zone with games, a costume contest, a beer garden and live bands for the adults including country music and contemporary rock music brought to you by Macy’s Rising Star. Breweries: Some of the breweries included The Mason Jar, Ballast Point, Karl Strauss, Garage Brewing, Black Market Brewing, and Hanger 24. The Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce and The City of Menifee Community Services Department worked very hard to have a beer garden this year. Everyone on this commi�ee agreed by saying “ So many people in Menifee are wanting a Fun for the WHOLE family event“. Of course everyone that made this possible including the support of the city council voted 4 to 1 to allow the sell of beer at this event and upcoming events like Independence day, and an upcoming Music and Arts Fes�val will be safe and well managed. At this event the staﬀ, local police and MPS security made sure they checked ID when

buying �ckets and again at the gates. The Breweries, staff and the patrons all agree it was an amazing addi�on to showcase our local industry. And will differently be back for next year! Music and Entertainment: Q103.3 and Radio 94.5 both broadcasted live from the event and allowed the public to take pictures with the bands and ask ques�ons a�er their sets. The bands were a big hit with the crowd as there were many teenagers and adults dancing to the music. Vendors and Food: There were a slew of vendors and businesses at the fes�val including Mary-Kay, Aldi, and Costco, to name a few. A variety of food trucks and vendors selling hot-dogs, pizza, co�on candy, fudge, funnel cakes, you name it! The event also brought in different poli�cians promo�ng their campaigns including Neil Winter, who is running to be the Mayor of Menifee, and Tim Sheridan who

The Perris Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce kicked off the 2016-2017 Student of the Month program in September 2016. The students are nominated by their teachers and staff at their respec�ve school sites and are chosen for their character, integrity, love of learning, ability to persevere and overcome challenging circumstances, community service, and how they make a difference on their high school campus. September’s students and their families a�ended a breakfast sponsored by the Perris and Menifee Chambers of Commerce along with local businesses and organiza�ons. Principals and teachers from each high school shared stories about the students and they each received cer�ficates of recogni�on, numerous gi�s, congratula�ons and encouragement from local, county, state and federal dignitaries. Heritage High School’s Student of the Month is Andrea Cadaing. Andrea has been described as excep�onal by both her principal and teacher. She currently maintains a GPA over 4.0 while taking a number of rigorous AP courses and holding leadership posi�ons in a number of school organiza�ons including Na�onal Honor Society, CSF, and AVID. Ms. Huerta commented that Andrea took AP courses as a freshman and excelled in her classes. Along with her academic success, she keeps a servants heart and does not hesitate to help someone else. Andrea shared that one of the most important characteris�cs to have is persistence. She takes this trait to heart as she has overcome her own

habit, including rural land, behind stores, or even just on the sidewalk. He has footage of all these interviews. You can go on his Facebook page to view them at: Facebook. com/menifee.ﬁlmfest. There are places of refuge and resources that can be contacted if you or someone you know is home-

struggles with persistence and the support of her family. She also plans to take that with her to UCLA where she hopes to attend and pursue her studies to become a plas�c surgeon. California Military Ins�tute’s Samuel Arda is October’s Student of the Month. Samuel’s AP biology teacher, Ms. Turner, shared that occasionally there is a student that really impacts their teacher and Samuel is one of them, displaying a thirst for knowledge and learning. One example of this is his winning first place in a recent district STEAM compe��on for his essay on the use of nano technology in medicine. Another example is Samuel’s opportunity to a�end Johns Hopkins University on a summer internship shadowing doctors and taking college courses, along with volunteering at the Washington DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Samuel shared that one of the biggest lessons he learned from his experience, and will take with him to college, is to be a great listener. Being a really good listener with his ears, eyes, and heart helped him make his internship experience amazing. He plans to a�end UC Irvine to obtain his bachelor’s in nursing then take the MCAT exam and a�end medical school. Andrew Sims is Perris High School’s Student of the Month. Principal, Nick Hilton commented that for the first �me, there was a unanimous vote by the teachers for Andrew. This is a testament to his character and influence at Perris High. He is a role model to other students and is an outstanding young man. Andrew’s mo�o is “Never Give Up”, which happens to also

Andrew took this to heart during his sophomore year when he suffered a knee injury. He shared that for an athlete, to not be able to play sports is like not being able to breath, it’s an expression of who they are. “When you’re on the field or court nothing else ma�ers”, he said. During this �me he struggled with his grades and classes. But through hard work and not giving up, he was able to pass all of his classes and get back on the field within six months. Andrew will take his “Never Give Up” mo�o with him to college where he will obtain his cer�ficate in kinesiology to help other athletes. Paloma Valley High School’s Student of the Month is Elizabeth Smith. As the youngest of eight children, Elizabeth experienced some issues believing in herself and obtaining self-confidence while growing up. According to Principal, Don Williamson, she has since overcome those issues and is now Paloma Valley’s first female ba�al-

ion commander. She not only commands respect, but she does it in a selﬂess way that she carries herself and leads by example, according to M.Sgt. Puebla. Elizabeth admi�ed that she did not want to be a part of the NJROTC program when she ﬁrst joined. But then it became something that she completely fell in love with. She is very close with her older brother, who was also a former Student of the Month, and he has been a great mo�va�on. Elizabeth plans to a�end Brigham Young University Hawaii and obtain her degree to become an elementary school teacher. All of these students demonstrated a desire to work hard and have a drive to exceed others and their own expecta�ons. The Perris Valley Chamber and the Menifee Valley Chamber wish them the best in their endeavors.

WILLIAM SHOWALTER

August 12, 1947 – October 3, 2016 Bill's life began in Frankfurt, Germany. Moving to the United States in 1953, Bill and his mother were reunited with his father. Spending many years in Kansas City, Missouri, Bill graduated from Ruskin High School. He had so many wonderful memories of his classmates and last year his gradua�ng class had their 50th reunion. It was an exci�ng and memorable �me for both of us. Also celebra�ng history were Bill's shipmates who reunited and reminisced, making this another memorable event. Bill's parents and brother eventually moved to Phoenix, Arizona and Bill had already set down new roots in San Diego, California. Bill's mom eventually came to live with us where she lived in peace and love for the remainder of her long life. As a na�ve San Diegan, I occasionally thought about experi-

encing our life in another place. But Bill? He wouldn't budge from our home. He loved San Diego and our home so much he convinced me there was no other place like it. He wasn't about to move. EVER. So happy we stayed. Bill has always had a myriad of friends and found that facebook was a great way to keep in touch with as many as he could. He has friends from all walks of life and he cherished them all. We both treasured our life together and would not have traded our love and happiness for anything. We lived life as if we had all the �me and not a care in the world. We were truly blessed and had much to be thankful for. So blessed that we also had a life loving our children and grandchildren and were loved in return. To our family and friends, thank you for always caring and loving us. Please accept my love and sincere gra�tude for your support in this �me of great personal loss. With Love, Colleen

ARE YOU BEING SEXUALLY HARASSED AT WORK? Startling surveys show that one in four women are sexually harassed in the workplace. Numerous unlawful acts go unreported due to the fear of the repercussions for speaking out, including possibly losing a job, fear of personal safety, or being isolated within the work environment. Serious physical and mental anguish can arise from being subjected to con�nuing sexual harassment while at work such as depression, anxiety, post-trauma�c stress disorder, and loss of self-esteem. It's impera�ve for individuals to have a voice and to speak out against sexual harassment. Both women and men may be vic�ms of sexual harassment, and the conduct may come from an employer or a co-worker of the opposite gender or same gender. It's essen�al that employees feel protected and safe while working, and the employer is responsible for ensuring that employees are not vic�ms to either subtle or obvious harassment. Unlawful conduct may include: unwelcome emails, text messages, or phone calls, sexual jokes, lewd comments, or foul gestures, sexual favori�sm, inappropriate touching, being denied a promo�on or pay raise because of your sex, or being offered a benefit for a sexual favor. Figh�ng back against the unwanted advances is key to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment. California law protects employees from both sexual harassment and a hos�le work environment. Pursuant to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), there are two main categories of sexual harassment: Quid pro quo harassment, meaning you are offered benefits for sexual favors and hos�le work environment, meaning sexual harassment that creates a hos�le work environment. The California FEHA strictly prohibits sexual harassment and requires that employers take reasonable steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and take immediate ac�on to stop any employee or management from sexually harassing another. Federal law also prohibits sexual harassment in the workplace. Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act governs most private and public employers, employment agencies, and labor unions and

8 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR FINANCIAL COMMUNICATION What makes a couple successful in their financial relationship? Ameriprise Financial surveyed over 1,500 couples (those married or living together for at least six months) to learn about their money conversa�ons and how they make decisions. The results revealed eight ways you can improve the financial health of your rela�onship: Understand your partner’s money mindset. It’s normal to have differing views and habits about money, but that doesn’t mean you can’t agree on your financial goals. Couples who report being on the same page financially work to understand their partner’s approach to money and keep the lines of communica�on open. Make finances a priority and don’t give up. Couples who are willing to have the hard conversa�ons and who work together to find financial harmony will reap the benefits over �me. As you might expect, the study found that couples who had been together longer tend to have be�er communica�on and are on the same page when it comes to financial ma�ers. Agree on financial goals. It’s tough to pool your money with someone who overspends or who isn’t willing to save for the vaca�on you’ve always dreamed about. Sharing financial goals does bring you closer together—or at least it’s one less thing to

makes it illegal for an employer to allow a worker to be subjected to sexual harassment. These laws require that employers immediately inves�gate claims of sexual harassment by using a qualiﬁed, neutral inves�gator. The law says that all vic�ms are to be protected from any retalia�on, and the employer must take appropriate and correc�ve ac�on to resolve the vic�m worker. When an employer fails to take ac�on, they

may be held strictly responsible for the harassment commi�ed by supervisor, agent, employee or third party, such as a customer. The harasser may not be the only person held accountable. A cause of ac�on may arise against an individual facilita�ng or aiding the unlawful conduct. Government Code sec�on 12940(i) provides that it is an unlawful employment prac�ce "for any person to aid,

argue about. To make it easier to save, challenge yourselves to add a �meframe to each goal so you know what you’re working toward first. Assign and accept financial roles and responsibili�es. Most couples split up tasks such as paying bills or monitoring investments. Clear responsibili�es allow you to hold one another accountable without worrying if the cable bill was paid. However, be sure to work together on tasks such as re�rement planning that requires close collabora�on. Invest in your future together. Make it a priority to set aside a por�on of your earnings for short- and long-term goals, including re�rement. Know how much you collec�vely have in re�rement savings—a surprising 23 percent of couples are unsure of this number. If you have kids, talk about how much you’d like to contribute to their college expenses so you can save accordingly. Set a spending limit. Spending habits were the leading cause of conten�on for couples. Consider se�ng a spending limit to ensure you’re on the same page as your partner regarding large expenditures. On average, couples said a purchase over $400 should trigger a discussion. Understand that disagreeing is okay. According to the Ameriprise study, even couples who say they’re in financial harmony disagree on financial ma�ers. What’s important isn’t that the partners don’t always agree, but that 82 percent resolve their issues and move on. Enlist a professional to solidify your financial plan. When you need an objec�ve opinion – or a deciding vote – meet with a financial advisor. Together the three of you can create a financial plan that meets your specific needs as a couple. Ul�mately, it feels good when you are in sync with your partner regarding fi-

nancial decisions and can work together toward managing your finances. Couples who ac�vely work on improving their financial rela�onship will likely be less frustrated over money matters and may even feel be�er about their rela�onship overall. The Ameriprise study on couples and money was created by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. and conducted online June 14-July 14, 2016 by Artemis Strategy Group among 1,514 U.S. opposite and same sex couples (married or living together for at least six months with shared financial responsibility) between the ages of 25-70 with at least $25,000 in investable assets. Jeremy Taylor is a Financial Advisor with Taylor, Taylor & Associates a finan-

November, 2016 abet, incite, compel, or coerce the doing of any of the acts forbidden under this part, or to a�empt to do so." Therefore, a vic�m may have a claim against those individuals encouraging and/or par�cipa�ng in the sexual harassment. Advoca�ng to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace requires a voice...a voice for decency and respect while in the working environment. Condoning or commi�ng verbal or physical harassment is ac�onable in the workplace, but only if the vic�m speaks up and ﬁghts against the unlawful conduct. Hold those accountable for their improper and unwanted conduct by asser�ng your right to work in a safe and hos�le-free environment. Don't be silent... protect yourself against sexual harassment.

Biz Buzz PUT THANKSGIVING LESSONS TO WORK IN YOUR FINANCIAL PLANS Thanksgiving is almost here. Over the years, this holiday has taken on a variety of meanings, most of them centered on family, caring and sharing. You can carry these same values past Thanksgiving into your daily life – and you can certainly incorporate them into your financial strategies for taking care of your loved ones. So, here are a few sugges�ons: Protect your family. If something were to happen to you, could your family pay the mortgage? Could your children s�ll afford to go to college someday? To protect your family’s current lifestyle and long-term goals, you may well need to maintain adequate life and disability insurance. Your employer may offer these types of protec�on as employee benefits, but the coverage might be insufficient for your needs. Consequently, you might need to supplement your employer-paid insurance with addi�onal policies. Invest in your children. If you have young children, and you’d like to see them go to college someday, you may want to start pu�ng money away toward that goal. You can save and invest for college

GIVING UP A GOOD THING We have a rule in our household, if you buy something you have to get rid of something else. For example, if you buy a new shirt you have to put one in the yard sale pile. In the world of business, some�mes you have to give up on a good idea to move forward with a be�er plan. Ideas are good but make sure they ﬁt into the general mission of your business and you don’t sway from your determined goal. Typical scenario for me is some�me and somewhere away from work I sit

in a variety of ways, but one popular method is through a 529 plan, which offers high contribu�on limits and poten�al tax advantages. Plus, a 529 plan gives you significant control and flexibility: – if you establish a plan for one child, but he or she decides not to go to college, you can name another child as the recipient. Be generous. You don’t have to be a millionaire to make meaningful financial gi�s to your family. For example, if you have grown children, consider helping them fund their IRAs. You can’t contribute directly to a child’s IRA, but you can write checks to your children for that purpose – though, of course, they are then free to do whatever they want with the money. It’s not always easy for a young person to “max out” on an IRA, which has an annual contribu�on limit of $5,500 for workers under 50, so any help you can give your children in this area should be greatly appreciated.

Safeguard your own financial independence. Almost certainly, one of the most undesirable outcomes you can imagine is to become financially dependent on your grown children. Even if you save and invest diligently throughout your working years, you could s�ll be vulnerable to financial dependency if you need an extensive period of long-term care, such as a nursing home stay.

TECH TALK

Hello, my name is Yanik Gozlan from The Computer Repair Experts and I write “Tech Talk”. My goal is to give tips and information on the latest gadgets or common issues you may have with your technology. I have been helping people solve their technology problems since 2002. With multiple certifications and over 10 years of experience in this industry, I will try to educate and share common interests that most of the surrounding areas are talking about.

THREE WARNING SIGNS THAT EMAIL IS MALICIOUS Email spam filtering is far be�er than it used to be. There was a �me when nearly every scam email would land in your inbox. Thankfully that's not the case anymore—especially if you're a Gmail user. But no system is perfect. Every now and then a scam message will manage to slip into your inbox. But how do you know when you're looking at a scam or not? Here are three basic �p-offs you can look for to figure out whether you're looking at an email with dishonest inten�ons. They're hardly an exhaus�ve list, but more o�en than not one of these �ps will save you from ge�ng suckered. 1. Dear customer One thing spammers are coun�ng on is that you, the target, don't realize there's this ancient technology in Microso� Word and other apps called mail merge. This feature creates a template that automa�cally uses a customer list to fill in names, the last four digits of a credit card or bank account number, and other personal informa�on. That means when I receive an email from my bank, I expect it to say "Dear Ian" or "Dear Ian Paul," but certainly not "Dear Customer" or "Dear ," or, worse, no saluta�on whatsoever. If you see an email addressed to "Dear customer" that asks you to follow a link to fill in your account details, chances are it's a phishing scam. That's not to say that you should automa�cally trust any email specifically addressed to you. But you can be sure that if you get an email from a company you do business with like a major bank, retailer, or technology company, they will address you by name in any email. 2. That link is crazy If you're unsure about an email, hover your mouse over any links you see in the body of the message (just whatever you do don't click it!). Next, look at the lower le� corner of your browser or email client. You should see the exact address of the link you're hovering over. This is where things start to get cri�cal. Read that link very, very carefully and it should become obvious if it's a scam. Here's an example that landed in my inbox just the other day. (In the interests of public safety, I've removed parts of the link.) idmsa.apple.com-idmswebauth-classiclogin.htm.artXXia.es/XXXXXXX If you're not playing close a�en�on, you'd see Apple.com at the front of that link and just figure this was an email from Apple. Unfortunately, you'd be wrong. Keep going past "apple.com" and you'll see the site the link actually leads to is "artXXia.es". With URLs this long and complicated,

how do you tell what's authen�c and what's not? Here's a good rule of thumb: keep reading a URL un�l you hit the back slash "/". Once you hit the back slash, back up un�l you're at the first period before the backslash (in our example it's ".es"). Everything you see in front of that period is the full address of the webpage you're headed for. Thus our example doesn't lead to idmsa. apple.com, but a subdomain of artXXXogia. es. By the way, you should always trust your own reason ahead of link scanners and other security so�ware to ensure your safety. In my tests, several security suites that scanned the full version of our example URL returned a clean bill of health for the site, even though to human eyes this is clearly not an Apple website. 3. It has an a�achment If a malicious actor can't sucker you with a phony link they will try to trick you into downloading a file packed with malware. Here's a classic example I came across recently. A message supposedly from Booking.com landed in my inbox with an invoice a�achment asking for final payment on an overdue item. This message was playing on the sudden emo�onal horror at thinking you may have an unpaid item with a service you use. Without thinking twice, you may soon be downloading an attachment just to make sure the company didn't make a mistake. That's when you need to stop and breathe. Another solid rule of thumb is to NEVER download an a�achment you're not expec�ng, no ma�er who it's from. Complica�ng this issue, however, is there are a few people that you may expect to send you unsolicited (or semi-unsolicited) a�achments such as your child's teacher or a co-worker with an animated GIF obsession. In those cases, it will be up to you to decide whether or not it's risky to open up those a�achments. If nothing else, make sure the message from your child's teacher is well wri�en and makes logical sense (Christmas party plans in January? I don't think so). And if you do decide to download the a�achment, save it to your hard drive and scan it with an an�virus tool before you open it. Email is far less risky to use than it used to be. Nevertheless, it's s�ll an extremely popular a�ack method for the bad guys. So it pays to keep your email sleuthing skills sharp for those �mes when the bad stuff gets through your email provider's defenses.

ASK THE CAM!

MEET CAMRYN CREGGER

By Robbie Mo�er

I ﬁrst met this talented young lady when Nicole Farrell who is a talented Menifee entertainer herself had Camryn perform for the Menifee’s Canine Support Teams Dog-toberfest at the VFW in Wildomar recently. Camryn is 9 years old and when she took the mike and started singing she was amazing. What a voice and what a talent, when she was done she received a standing ova�on. Her voice is strong and what a personality, and so adorable. I thought wow she would be amazing to perform in December for the Nafe holiday gathering at Menifee Nafe Merna’s Café on December 14th during our Holiday luncheon at 11:30, and also our Temecula Nafe dinner mee�ng at the Bamboo House in Temecula on December 6th at 6pm..

Local KATHY BUNDY, THE VOLKSWALKER

By Robbie Mo�er

Kathy spent the ﬁrst 10 years of her life with two adventurous awesome parents. She was the fourth of ﬁve children. Her dad was a Salesman and her mom was a Scout Leader. Her family was very ac�ve in Scou�ng. They enjoyed all the outdoor seasons. Their backyard was the local hangout. Her dad built a big airplane swing. It had a zip line that went across the yard. When Kathy was 9 years old, her dad got

the California Fever to go West. He ﬂew out to Los Angeles to study electronics and took Dale Carnegie courses. He secured a home for them in Pomona. They sold their house, and as soon as school was out in June, the family said goodbye to neighbors and family. They spent seven days on the road. Mom and dad took turns driving. They took �me to explore and enjoy the view. They slept on the side of the road with the truckers with sleeping bags. She can s�ll remember that trip every day. Her dad opened up his own business, “Bill’s TV” on Holt Avenue, in Pomona selling and repairing TVs. They had one of the ﬁrst colored TVs. It was nothing like today’s color. Her mom worked part�me in the store as a bookkeeper.

Menifee Buzz—www.menifeebuzz.com In 1967 her dad took both her and her sister down the aisle in a double wedding ceremony. Kathy and her husband, Alan N. Turner, bought a home in Cucamonga with a house payment of $168.00/ month. A�er their six year marriage, their daughter Kimberly Ann Turner was born. Life was good. Kathy enjoyed being a mom and working at San Antonio Community Hospital. When Kimberly was four years old, they moved to a bigger house in Alta Loma. Life was good for several years. When her daughter entered Jr. High, their house was in foreclosure. Her husband Alan was in the ﬁnance business and made some poor decisions. So they had to leave this lovely home and lifestyle and rent a home. She worked more at the hospital. Alan got very depressed and started gambling.

An opportunity to take a week’s vaca�on to Northern California to walk in coun�es that had no scheduled walks was most interes�ng. Her divorce wasn’t ﬁnal, but she was happy to be free. Most of the walkers were single men and woman and a few couples. Kathy met a “Grumpy Old Man” on this trip. The group walked together and enjoyed many parts of California she had never seen. Within three months, she moved to Wildomar and con�nued working. Six years later, she married Richard Bundy (the Grumpy Old Man).

LET'S THINK CLEARLY ABOUT HILLARY'S E-MAIL SERVER.

By Ken Johnson

As a business consultant, one of the techniques I use to solve tricky problems under uncertainty is to turn the problem around and look at it from the other direc�on. There are those who maintain that Hillary Clinton's ac�ons surrounding her server are the result of poor judgment and technical ignorance rather than an inten�on to cover up illicit behavior. Let's inves�gate the likelihood of that by examining what it would look like if a high government oﬃcial named "Edmund" intended to engage in criminal behavior and then erase all evidence and get away with it. Obviously Edmund could not use his oﬃcial Government e-mail address because

those e-mails would be government property and could not be hidden. Simply using a separate e-mail address, like a Gmail address would solve any legi�mate concerns of keeping work and private e-mails separate, but would not be enough for somebody who intended criminal ac�vity because commercial e-mail accounts are automa�cally backed up, and dele�ng incrimina�ng e-mails would not delete them from backups. Edmund would need a private e-mail server. He could have a private server located at a commercial hos�ng company, but that will not do for a criminal because he s�ll might not control the backup schedule, and that company might not suﬃciently resist search warrants or subpoenas. Edmond would need to house the server someplace that he has more physical control like his home or a compliant subcontractor, but would s�ll need experts to administer it. This level of eﬀort is beginning to get expensive. At the end of government service, the e-mails would have to be scrubbed of all criminal ac�vi�es he wished to hide before being turned over. Could Edmund do it himself? No, because then if criminal ac�vity was later discovered, Edmond would be implicated in destruc�on of

evidence. He would have to have others do it, so as to maintain what Washington calls "plausible deniability". Could Edmund have regular staﬀ members do the scrubbing? Well, no, not if he were covering up illegal ac�vity, because those staﬀ members might be forced to tes�fy, especially if granted immunity, about what they were instructed to do and what they saw in the process. Edmund would have to hire the one class of employees who can NEVER be forced to tes�fy against their employer--lawyers. Once the lawyers were done with the scrubbing of incrimina�ng e-mails and the others turned over to the Government, would that be the end? Well it would be if the only thing being covered up were poor judgment or some personally embarrassing revela�on, but that is s�ll not far enough to cover up criminal ac�vity because the server itself would

have to be wiped, not just be dele�ng the e-mails, but by using a sophis�cated program like BleachBit to remove all evidence beyond the possibility of any forensic recovery by law enforcement agencies. Before relaxing, Edmond s�ll has one more task. He must wipe or destroy all the devices used by the lawyers to examine the e-mails lest those fall into the hands of law enforcement. The astute reader will recognize that the exact, expensive, and improbable series of steps required for Edmund to conceal criminal activity is the exact series of steps Hillary followed, and that many of them are required only if one anticipates law enforcement investigations of criminal activity. It is simply not credible that this extraordinary sequence was followed simply to keep yoga schedules and other private minutiae out of the public record, especially by a politician who is intimately familiar with how damaging the appearance of a cover up can be from her experience on the Watergate Committee?

ing ameni�es. Krispy Kreme, whose brand is famous for its “hot light” that signals when fresh, hot donuts are coming oﬀ the conveyor belt, is a win for Menifee and an excellent addi�on to Town Center Marketplace.

DAR, WHAT THEY DO.

By Sharon O�s

Na�onal Society Daughters Of The American Revolu�on also known as the DAR is an organiza�on that preserves the history of the American Revolu�onary War. Among preserva�on DAR also aids local communi�es, provides schools with supplies, supports military families, and teaches values and principles that align with early American beliefs and tradi�ons. October 11th DAR celebrated their 125 years in existence. Founded in 1890 within the bustling Washington DC area, the DAR is a nonproﬁt, nonpoli�cal service organiza�on comprised of women who volunteer to promote patrio�sm, educa�on for children, and sharing history. The DAR moto is God, Home, and Country. The organiza�on hosts approximately 180,000 current members, 3,000 chapters through out the United States. Through their existence, DAR has had over 950,000 members through their

organiza�on. Four women were responsible for the birth and advancement of the DAR. Eugenia Washington 1840-1900, Ellen Walworth 1832-1915, Mary S Lockwood 1831-1942, and Mary Desha 1850-1911. The SAR, Sons of the American Revolu�on had already been founded in 1889 and voted in 1890 to exclude women from their membership. Infuriated that women and their contribu�on to the war were being diminished Mrs Lockwood and her gal pal’s shot back with vigor and thus is how the DAR began. The DAR has grown leaps and bounds surpassing the SAR by milestones in membership. Regent member of the Estudillo Chapter in Hemet, Heather Ferguson an 18 year member of DAR states that the belief in God, Country, Home, and Military Service are some core beliefs that she holds dear. Following her

grandmother, she joined the DAR in Oct 1998. 2016 marks the 76th year of the Estudillo Chapter in Hemet. Flag honoring was Octobers main topic for discussion within the walls of the Estudillo Chapter. Flag day became official on June 14, 1777. Each color of the flag has a different meaning. Red depicting valor, zeal, and honor. White showing innocence, and purity. Blue demonstra�ng vigilance, perseverance, truth, heaven, and jus�ce. Perusing, Ferguson also spoke of how difficult it is to see the current disrespect of the flag within society. The efforts of those who have given their lives to protect what the flag stands for almost in vain. Patrio�sm is one of DAR’s main beliefs. Promo�ng respect and flag honor is one aspect of patrio�sm the DAR strives for. DAR believes that teaching respect to the younger genera�on is a very important task. As it is with our children that our history lives on. Offered to the children of DAR or SAR members, is CAR, Children of the American Revolu�on.

The member process for DAR is that a woman over 18 years old who can prove a blood linage to anyone who served and aided in the gaining of American Independence is eligible for entry. Documenta�on is needed to prove the lineage to the Patriot that served. There are registrars that help and aide in the process of helping applicants ﬁnd their Patriot link. The Next DAR mee�ng is Nov 15th at 140 North Bueno Vista Street, Hemet, CA 92543 DAR.org USﬂag.org
