Students from 28 middle schools through the Southern California gathered at Thompson Middle School for a VEX Robotics Competition Saturday, Feb. 25.

The event, which was open to the public, highlighted each team’s skills as robots built by each team, battled it out on the “battlefields” set up at the school.

Thompson Middle School had teams competing at the event, including an all-girls team.

Murrieta Valley and Murrieta Mesa High School students served as volunteers to help run the event.

According the Murrieta Valley Unified School District press release, Thompson Middle School started their Robotics Club in 2013. Last year Thompson stu-

Appearing at this year’s Reality Rally was a no-brainer for “SURVIVOR: Millennials vs. Gen. X,” winner Adam Klein. The twentysomething player lost his mother to lung cancer shortly after his return from playing the game that has earned a huge following since it first aired in May 2000.

Klein said that his mother, Susie, was diagnosed with lung cancer before he left to play the popular CBS reality show.

“She was diagnosed in August 2015,” he said. “One of the things that they did that they never really do is they said, ‘Look if now is not the right time, we want you to play ‘SURVIVOR’ so if it would be better for you and your family to play next year, we will basically reserve a spot for you.’ It was just so generous of them.”

Klein talked to his family, who are all big fans of the game, about

Temecula’s Villaranda makes return to the small screen on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The little girl with the big voice is back in the limelight. Anatalia Villaranda, last seen on the final season of “American Idol,” wowed judges of NBC’s “The Voice” with her performance of Bruno Mars’ “Runaway Baby.” Villaranda, 16, appeared during the first episode of the show’s newest season Monday, Feb. 23.

With her family cheering her on backstage, Villaranda, who is a senior at Chaparral High School in Temecula, nailed her blind audition, with all four judges pleading

with her to choose them to be her coach throughout the season.

Throughout her performance, the judges shared amazed looks and smiles while nodding their heads and tapping their feet in tune to the music. Country Superstar Blake Shelton and Singer Songwriter Alicia Keys were the first two to turn around and lay claim to the performer. Rocker Adam Levine and Pop Star Gwen Stefani quickly followed suite.

An excited Villaranda, who began singing at the age of 8, brought her entire family onstage at the

Love is in the air at Atria Park

Natalie and Harold Bitchr attend the Senior Prom at Atria Park. The couple have been together for 66 years.

Alisia Cooke photo

Natalie Witt VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As a very special Valentine’s Day event, residents of Atria Park of Vintage Hills were able to relive one of their most treasured memories: their high school senior prom. Atria Park residents, many of whom are high school sweethearts, were able to reminisce back to their high school proms by dressing to the nines, dancing to popular “oldies” songs, and snacking on delicious food prepared by Chef

Imee Fontecha.

The idea was inspired by Atria’s Life Guidance Director Stephanie Oden. Oden thought up many different Valentine’s Day events to organize for her memory care residents, but once she came up with the unique and sentimental senior prom idea, she knew it just had to be done, she said. Families of the residents were invited as well, making the gathering more intimate and memorable.

The event was held in a large room which was decorated with

festive pink and red decor. The ceiling was filled with Valentinethemed balloons and large hanging hearts. Once attendees walked in, a photographer snapped pictures of them and their sweetheart under a sign that read, “Atria Park of Vintage Hill’s Senior Prom.” Everyone in the venue danced, whether on their feet or from their seats. Atria Park’s Executive Director Rance Leth remembered how genuinely happy everyone was during the prom.

“They probably are having more fun right now than they had at their actual senior prom,” Leth said cheerfully.

Sweethearts for 66 years, Harold and Natalie Bitchr, attended the nostalgic event and took advantage of the opportunity to dress up for the afternoon. The couple fell in love with each other while attending a Bible institute in New York during their late teenage years.

After attending the institute, the couple traveled to Haiti together to serve as pastors, help build churches and feed children in need.

“I still love him so much after 66 years. I tell him and remind him every day,” Natalie Bitchr said. Making the senior prom truly special for his wife, Harold Bitchr surprised her by wearing the same suit he used to wear as a pastor.

Once the residents worked up an appetite, they were serenaded by

getting dressed up and having a great time. We truly are family here at Atria,” Oden has already made plans to host another prom next year for her memory care residents based on how delighted residents were with this year’s prom.

The event was sponsored in part by Mission Home Health and Bridge Home Health.

10 Things You Need to Know Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some crucial information before you make any moves. AN AGENT CAN COST OR SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent.

In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal.

Hiring an agent should be like any hiring process, interview multiple agents to make sure you hire the right one! Because selling or buying real estate is probably the single largest financal decision you will make and it shouldn’t be left up to chance.

(951) 302-8062 Adam Klein competes on the final episode of CBS’s wildly popular reality game, “SURVIVOR: Millennials vs. Gen. X.” Steady hands earned Klein a spot in the final three and ultimately a cool $1 million when he was crowned Sole Survivor in December. Klein is just one of about a hundred reality TV contestants appearing at this year’s Reality Rally April 6-8 in Temecula.

to slip away he told her everything that happened in the game.

“I told her that I had won and literally moments later she took her last breath,” he said as his voice cracked. “There is no doubt in my mind by doing as well in the game as I did, I may have extended her life. At the very least, I made her final weeks as joyous as they could possibly be under the circumstances.”

Klein had mixed feelings, losing his beloved mother yet knowing he had won “SURVIVOR.” “I have been literally dreaming of winning “SURVIVOR” since I was 9 years old and to have my greatest dream come true at the same time as my worst nightmare, it just doesn’t add up, like how could that possibly be,” Klein said.

Shortly after, he was contacted

by Reality Rally Organizer and Founder Gillian Larson to participate in Reality Rally.

“Very shortly after my mom passed away I had started a ‘youcaring’ campaign to raise money for lung cancer research,” he said.

“It helped me to channel my grief into something positive. Doing things like the Reality Rally help me to focus on something that is meaningful while also honoring my mom’s legacy and inspiring others to live the way she always did, which was so full of life, so full of energy, always smiling, laughing, dancing and loving.”

Klein had words of praise for

Larson and how she used what she calls her “15 minutes of fame” to help others.

“The way she approached her time on ‘SURVIVOR’ is inspiring to me because it is how I would like to leverage whatever fleeting visibility I have from all of this to do something really meaningful and change people’s lives,” he said.

“That’s why I dedicated that time and still am to raising money for lung cancer research in particular but also for Reality Rally and Michelle’s Place.”

Klein has already raised over $400,000 for lung cancer research through his own foundation, Live Like Susie Memorial Fund for Lung Cancer Research and other various projects including Stand Up To Cancer.

“Gillian is an inspiration to all of us,” Klein said. “She leveraged her 15 minutes to start this, but now it has taken on a life of its own.”

Klein said that he hopes as many people come to Reality Rally as possible and that his participation helps to raise much-needed funds for Michelle’s place.

“It’s a wonderful cause and I hope my participation contributes to that as much as I can.”

CBS’s offer to play at a later time, but his mother encouraged him not to wait.

“My mother said, and we all agreed, ‘Now is the time,’” Klein recalled. “We needed something to look forward to. We needed something good to happen in our lives.”

Klein said the family had been through some dark times. They had to put his dog down, his grandfather had died and his father’s best friend had been diagnosed with ALS in addition to his mother’s diagnosis of Stage 4 lung cancer. His opportunity to play “SURVIVOR” was the first thing the family had in a long time that was exciting.

“It was something to look forward to, something to work toward,” he said. “We were all imaging watching the show together as a family and looking forward to each week of the show. Ultimately, while leaving for the show was the hardest thing I had ever done, I knew and I still know it was the right thing to do. I brought my mom so much joy by living out that shared dream for all of us than I possibly could have by sitting at home.”

Klein said the whole time he was out on the island, he knew that every milestone he reached would bring a moment of joy to his family who were going through so much.

“Every time I found an idol, every time I won an immunity, I knew it was one more thing my family would be able to celebrate,” he explained. “We needed as many celebrations as possible. I don’t know that many people have had quite the same kind of motivation that I had to do well throughout the whole time I was out there.

It wasn’t just about the money of getting the title for myself, it was about bringing as many moments of joy to my family as possible.”

After the game ended, Klein returned home to his family, where his mother had taken a turn for the worse.

“My mom did not want to pull me from the game and no one thought it was so seriously dire that she would pass away before I got home,” he said. “My mom, two days before she died, was still out walking around the block. She was living, she was thriving. I realize now that so much of that was due to the fact that she knew I was still out there playing the game.”

While Klein was away playing the game, his mother recorded videos for him – 11 in total – that he watched after the corresponding episode aired.

“I could see her getting stronger and stronger and more exuberant as the season went on,” he said.

“No one had any idea that she was as close to the end as she was until the game ended.”

Klein reminisced that the day the final tribal council was held and at the end of his time in Fuji, his mother’s health began to rapidly decline.

“I had no idea what I was coming home to. When I got home, I got to talk to my mom. She was so overwhelmed that I was there,” he said. “We told each other how much we loved each other.”

Klein said as his mother began

a violin and guitar duo. Fontecha worked hard to delight the promgoers with delicious entrees, from sweet and sour chicken to salmon with mango salsa.

After the prom, Oden reflected on how successful and meaningful the event was to residents.

“My residents have fond memories from their pasts, and hopefully their prom was one of those memories,” Oden said. “We all enjoyed

Hemet’s old Stetson Street bridge in to be replaced by 2018-19 Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Hemet City Council has approved a $243,800 amended contract to engineer the replacement of the old Stetson Street and Cawston Avenue bridge near the airport that in need of serious repair. While the bridge is safe for most traffic, loads over 10,000 pounds are not recommended.

The city successfully applied for a Federal Highway Bridge Replacement program grant in 2012 that is administrated through Caltrans

Local Assistance for $955,000 to replace the bridge. The grant funds were programmed for construction in 2018-19.

Michael Baker Corporation was awarded the amended contract that was increased by $45,000 bringing the total to $243,800.

Mayor Pro Tem Michael Percival urged the firm at the Feb. 14 meeting to make sure they finished the engineering portion as soon as possible and to start the construction phase by 2018 because the condition of the bridge shows loose wooden support columns

and deteriorating cement walls. He said the bridge is heavily traveled by traffic to and from the Wal-Mart center on Sanderson Avenue along with heavy semitractor-trailers.

He said that signs showing the 10,000-pound weight level should be placed in more visible locations before the bridge.

The city and county fire services stationed at the airport have some tanker trucks that weigh over that limit and need to be rerouted away from the bridge for safety. However, engineers are inspecting the bridge regularly and report it is safe

for traffic under the weight limit.

In other business at the Feb. 14 meeting, the council heard recruiting updates from Police Chief Dave Brown and Fire Chief Scott Brown.

Scott Brown said since the city approved a $2.2 million advance against expected Measure U sales tax funds, his department has already hired nine new firefighters and paramedics but lost two to outside agencies and a battalion chief. They have promoted five of their firefighters and have had 12 applicants for the three open battalion chief positions. He said they

were particularly pleased that Station No. 5 in east Hemet has been reopened and is fully staffed with a paramedic.

Dave Brown said his department has hired two trained police officers and four entry-level police officers.

He said he hoped to have 10 more officers by the end of June 2018.

He explained that hiring trained and experienced officers from other departments, known as hiring laterally, with the help of signing bonuses of $10,000 to $25,000 could save the city as much a $3 million in the long run.

ROBOTICS from page A-1 again this year.

Thompson Middle School’s Team 7907-C took home first place at Saturday’s competition. The team is made up of students Jeremy Aranda, Shahab Besharatlou, Sean De Castro, Jordan Fitzpatrick, Sam Genous, Logan Ghafouri and Priscilla Ngo. VEX Robotics competitions are not just about fun and games either if you ask Thompson Robotics Teacher Judith Howell who said that robotics are the way of the future in all kinds of professions.

“I recently read an article that said that robotics will be the next computer industry,” she said. “Robots will become the standard of use for everything from manufacturing to medicine. This will open up a plethora of new jobs. Robots and robotics competition offers an interesting cross over from toys and gaming to jobs and innovation.”

For more information on the teams and how to participate, contact Howell at jahowell@murrieta. k12.ca.us.

Menifee Police Department to host Crime Watch volunteer recruitment event MENIFEE – The Menifee Police Department is hosting a Crime Watch recruiting event to answer questions and register community members interested in volunteering to participate. The event is scheduled Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Countryside Market Place (next to the Menifee Breakfast Club), on the corner of Newport and Haun Roads.

“Crime Watch volunteers are the

eyes and ears of Menifee’s Police Department and can help deter crime by patrolling throughout Menifee,” said Lieutenant Greg Fellows.

Crime Watch is an “observe and report” position only and volunteers do not get involved in enforcement.

Crime Watch Volunteers are trained to assist with high-visibility patrols, house checks for residents

VILLARANDA from page A-1 request of Shelton who said, “Don’t hurt her yet, I need her to be healthy on my team,” as Villaranda’s family shared hugs with the teen singing sensation, who appeared teary-eyed at times.

“It’s a shame you don’t have such a supportive family,” Levine joked.

Shelton said that many times performers turn her kind of energy into “a colossal train wreck.”

“And you were like, no, I am going to keep beating you guys down until somebody hits their freaking button. That’s what it felt like. Too bad you don’t have any personality,” he joked.

Keys said Villaranda, who says she struggled with her appearance, mainly her short stature, was more than just a voice, she was an artist.

“I would like you to look and see how important it is for you to be on my team,” she said. “You’re amazing.”

Stefani said she is at the point in her life where she had the opportunity to offer her skills and knowledge to help someone like Villaranda.

“I just really feel passionate about you and your positivity …

I think we could work really well together,” she said.

Levine and Shelton both took a shot at obtaining the 4-foot, 9-inch songstress to their teams, too.

“The greatness that you have is something that you can’t teach and if you have that then you are just adding to this incredible raw ability that you have,” Levine said.

“I do believe you could win this entire thing.”

Shleton said he didn’t want Temecula to be known for Old Town, it’s wineries or the Balloon & Wine Festival.

“I want people to go there and be like ‘Woah, this is Anatalia’s hometown,’” he said.

While all of the judges made compelling cases, in the end, Villaranda picked Keys to be her coach.

“I picked Alicia Keys because we have similar styles and musicality,” Villaranda said during a viewing party held at Chaparral High School, where she is a student, Monday afternoon. Almost 400 teachers, students and supporters, along with Villaranda’s family were in attendance.

Cole Criske, another local who appeared on Season 9 of “the Voice” in 2015, also appeared at the viewing party. He said he was excited for Anatalia and wished her the best on her new journey.

“I’m here to show her my support,” he said. “We’ve done SoCal and Boys & Girls Club Idol together four times. She beat me in the finals, I hope she goes a long way.

Kiana Guico, 16, said that her friend loves Bruno Mars so it was no surprise to her when Villaranda sang one of his songs for the audition.

“It’s the only thing she plays in the car, she knows all the words,” she said. “I’ve known Anatalia for four years and I expected something like this for her. She deserves it.”

Chaparral High School Activities Directory Don Jones said he has known the singer since she was a freshman when he was looking for someone to sing the national anthem at athletic events.

“As I looked around the audience, (during the viewing party) and the reaction was unbelievable,” he said. “The icing on the cake is that you couldn’t find a nicer young lady. I wish her the best.”

Villaranda said that there are major differences between “American Idol” and “the Voice,” something she noticed early in the process.

“Here there are four judges with their backs toward you and you find out pretty quickly if they like you. On Idol, you have to wait until you’re done with the entire song,” she said. “Also, the audience energy is different, there is more love thrown at you.”

Villaranda said during her blind audition and every performance she gives, she doesn’t feel nerves

as much as excitement.

“I love to perform,” she said.

on vacation, DUI checkpoint support, community event support and crime scene and traffic collision response.

There are many benefits of volunteering including learning valuable skills, forming new friendships and engaging with your community.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old and typically work threehour shifts Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

“Lots of times I blackout about the actual performance,” she said.

“I really don’t remember my audition; I just put my energy into the performance.”

There were lots of decisions to be made so Villaranda could participate in “The Voice.” She is taking online classes to finish out her senior year “The most major decision I’ve had to make was what to do my senior year, missing prom and other activities,” she said. “Fun or career, I’m doing what I love. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!”

Lea Villaranda is her daughter’s biggest fan.

“She is doing what she loves and handles all of the attention and pressure,” Lea Villaranda said.

“We are so excited for her.”

Human Relations Council selected winners for the Black History Month essay contest Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The thoughts and feelings about themselves and the heroes of black America through history were told by area middle, high school and college students Feb. 24 during the 13th annual Black History Month essay contest awards ceremony.

The awards ceremony, held at the Mt. San Jacinto College library in San Jacinto, brought seven of the 11 essay finalists to the awards ceremony; each wrote a creative story in essay form about an AfricanAmerican in history or one made up in their own minds in regard to the difficulty they faced as a black person growing up in America.

Penelope Engard, a Human Relations Council of the Greater Hemet, San Jacinto and Menifee Region board member, said the students could “talk about a black person they met or read about or just make up a story about a black person,” in their essays. She was hoping they would be more original in their essays, and several would do so.

Each student from a middle school, high school or college wrote their essay and sent it to the

HRC judges. Once their essay was selected by the judges, the finalists were invited to the awards ceremony to read it before the judges, board members and guests. HRC presented the winners certificates and cash prizes from the HRC, the MSJC Diversity Committee and other local sponsors.

The students read their essays about their imaginary experiences with famous black Americans from civil rights leader Rosa Parks to popular singer Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter.

Monte Vista Middle School student Ysabel Abarca wrote about being a “friend” of black activist Rosa Parks who led the way to the American civil rights movement in the 1960s. Her presentation brought applause and a $150 presentation award and a $50 honorable mention. The $150 first place essay award went to another Monte Vista Middle School student Kassidy Duncan who was not in attendance. The second place $75 middle school essay winner went to Elijah Smith also from Monte Vista Middle School who also was absent from the event.

Andrea Mares from Western Center Academy’s STEM program in Hemet won a first-place award for her presentation about being a neighbor friend of NASA mathematician and physicist Katherine Coleman Johnson. Johnson was a black woman who with her mathematical genius plotted the space trajectory for Alan Shepard’s May 1961 Mission Freedom 7 and pioneered digital electronic calculations needed for placing satellites and today’s space missions.

Two other high school entrants, Cheyenne Quamina and Valeria Valdovinos, both from San Jacinto High School were not in attendance but received honorable mentions.

Amy Leslie, from University of California Santa Cruz and a former Mt. San Jacinto College student, took the first place $150 award for her essay depicting the life of singer Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter and what she may have seen growing up. Leslie was the only college student to enter the essay contest.

“I never miss this event,” Mayor Krupa said. “It is very special to this community.”

Charles E. Knox, Sr., longtime local rancher, businessman, artist and a founder of the HRC, welcomed the students to the special event encouraging them to continue their work and thanking them for their positive views of the growing racial and religious diversity coming to the Valley.

“We want to help students have respect for the diversity in our community,” Knox said; he has helped usher in the 13 year success of the Black History Month essay contest.

“Diversity is central to the salvation of this community.”

Speaking of the greater issue in todays’ political world, he said, “We need to embrace all people.

You know not all people want to bring harm to our nation.” He encouraged all attending to help the

HRC and to respect the diversity in race and religion that has help make this nation the greatest in the world.

Catherine Megan Owens, pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Hemet, appeared and presented each of the student essay winners $50 checks and an offer to read their essays during the church services.

The judges for the special event included Nancy Austin, Rick Cosmano, Engard, Dorothy Mason, Fred Nunex, Linda Nunez and Kumaran Ramanathan.

Sponsors included Charles Knox, the Community Action Partnership of Riverside County, Gurpreet Singh from Mobil Shop N’ Go San Jacinto, Stater Brothers of West Hemet, HRC President Mary Morse and Stephanie Borders of Party Planners.

MURRIETA – Robert G. Kowell, 97, and E. Virginia Kowell, 93, are celebrating their 74th anniversary March 7. They were married March 7, 1943, in Pasadena, before Robert was deployed as a U.S. Army Air Corp soldier.

The couple have two children, Susan M. Kowell Morris of Loma Linda and Robert (Bob) S. Kowell of Murrieta. They have one grandchild, Janine A. (Kowell) Farnham of Fallbrook and one great-grandchild Joshua D. Farnham also of Fallbrook.

VMHS student suspected of having tuberculosis; testing urged

MURRIETA – A student at Vista Murrieta High School is suspected of having tuberculosis and Riverside County health officials are working with school representatives to identify students and staff who might have been exposed to the illness.

The student is receiving treatment and has been cleared to return to school. The student is not being identified due to confidentiality requirements.

Riverside County health officials are sending out about 250 letters to students and the parents of students under 18 who may have been exposed to this illness. Staff members who may have been exposed will receive notification from the school.

As a precautionary measure, the health department is recommending that anyone who receives the notice from the department be screened with a TB skin test at a clinic being planned at the high school. Anyone who receives the notification letter can also opt to be tested by their own health care provider. If the skin test reads positive, the individual will get a chest X-ray and follow up with an appropriate provider. The X-ray will help determine whether an individual might simply have

been exposed to the illness rather than having active TB. Those who do not receive notification from public health are considered not to be at risk for exposure and TB testing is not recommended. Riverside County Public Health Officer Dr. Cameron Kaiser emphasized the risk of transmission is low.

“While the risk of infection is slight, it is important that those who are notified take the time to get tested,” Kaiser said. “The testing is simple, does not take much time and can provide peace of mind.”

Tuberculosis is a disease spread through the air during prolonged, repeated and close contact with an individual who is infected with active tuberculosis. People may contract TB when breathing air exhaled by someone who is sick with TB. When left untreated, TB can result in complications that can be serious.

TB is not spread by shaking hands, sharing food or drink or via bed linens or toilet seats. Not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. A person with inactive (latent) TB cannot spread it to others.

Murrieta council moves forward on plan to jump-start downtown Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Murrieta officials have embraced a new vision for the city’s core, a 20-year game plan that could dramatically boost the area’s residential and commercial densities.

Council members enthusiastically approved the Downtown Murrieta Specific Plan Feb. 21, an act that sets the stage for key changes to a 320-acre area that overlaps the city’s government center, its historic district and a slice of flood-prone Murrieta Creek.

“I think it’s an amazing plan,” Councilman Jonathan Ingram extolled during the nearly 50-minuted hearing that capped a year of planning and review work. He said the plan has already attracted developer interest.

“I’m really excited beyond belief,” Ingram added.

Other council members and speakers were equally enamored with the process and the outcome.

Patrick Ellis, president of the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce, labeled the effort a “phenomenal job.”

Not all the work is done, however, as city staff and a consultant must return in about two months to recommend the financial incentives that will be offered to developers, property owners and investors.

Those incentives would be aimed at spurring growth in the rectangular corridor roughly bounded

by Kalmia Street to the north, Ivy Street to the south, Jefferson Avenue to the east and Hayes Avenue to the west.

No opposition surfaced during the planning process, which was kicked off with the first public workshop in February 2016. More than 100 people have attended meetings or presentations, and a similar number have written letters or responded to survey questions.

A specific plan is a detailed blueprint of the anticipated development of a designated area.

Specific plans can be initiated by a developer or a government agency. Murrieta’s plan emerged out of a previous course of action that was adopted in April 1997 and last updated seven years later. That city-initiated effort was dubbed the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan.

But that plan contained flaws, and Murrieta officials opted to start over. Its shortcomings were identified in the new plan which, according to city officials, cost about $250,000 to prepare and present for approval.

“The levels of economic development and private investment have not been achieved,” stated the 70-page downtown specific plan that was recently approved by the council.

Temecula officials have shepherded two city-sponsored specific plans through the review and adoption process. Temecula had a few thousand residents when it was a sleepy enclave in the 1960s. That climbed to 27,000 residents by the time it became a city in December 1989. Now, Temecula boasts about 110,000 residents.

Temecula’s Old Town Specific Plan, which was years in the making, encouraged growth by offering such incentives as increased building densities, reduced parking restrictions and ample redevelopment funding for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements.

Old Town, which was deteriorating, became the target of city attention and funds. The city initially pumped about $6 million in redevelopment funds into that historic business district.

Temecula officials have repeatedly praised Old Town’s turnaround, saying public spending on buildings and other amenities helped spur more than $1.6 billion in private investment over the past 25 years.

The major anchor in that specific plan is the city’s $93 million Civic Center complex, which opened in December 2010 along Interstate 15 at Main and Mercedes streets. That complex includes City Hall, a parking structure, conference center and an outdoor amphitheater.

The Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan, which was adopted by the Temecula council in November 2015, could bring 10,000 or more residents to an area that is dominated by retail, commercial and industrial buildings.

That plan, which cost $250,000 to prepare and process, is aimed at reviving an aging, 560-acre business district that hugs the west side of I-15. That plan, which has yet to gain significant traction, could bring an influx of six- and eightstory buildings to a city that has few structures that size.

That specific plan also envisions

The specific plan area is divided into four districts that will have distinct focal points including the Civic Center, the creek zone, the Washington Avenue corridor and an area flanked by Juniper and Ivy Courtesy photo streets and Jefferson and Plum avenues.

a regional transit center near Temecula’s boundary with Murrieta.

Murrieta’s growth has mirrored its neighbor to the south. It was home to fewer than 2,000 residents

in 1990, but growth was surging when the community became a city the following year. It boasted more than 107,200 residents in 2015.

Murrieta’s 33-acre Civic Center

complex has also emerged as the heart of its bid to revive an aging residential and commercial swath west of I-15. City Hall opened in March 2008, and it is flanked by a police station, library and senior center.

Those buildings – which are connected by open space, landscaping and public monuments – required more than $20 million of city funding. A revamped fire administrative office and a community center are on the periphery.

The city owns other parcels within the specific plan area, but their eventual uses have not been determined and it is uncertain whether any will be sold to help finance infrastructure improvements, Cynthia Kinser, city planner, said in a recent interview.

“We want to make sure the city’s future needs are adequately taken care of,” she said. “We want to look years out at our future needs.”

Financing future infrastructure needs will be a challenge in the specific plan area, she acknowledged, especially since Gov. Jerry Brown years ago eviscerated local redevelopment programs.

Murrieta is weighing a range of financing possibilities, including the formation of a business improvement district and fee reductions within the targeted area.

City officials hope to offer a range of incentives aimed at attracting developers and investors. City officials hope the incentives will make it less costly for developers to build commercial and multi-family projects within the specific plan area than outside its boundary.

The key objectives of Murrieta’s

plan call for robust economic development, increased pedestrian use, better mass transit services and a cohesive, attractive commercial core. It would also spur an influx of three- and four-story buildings and significant increases in residential and commercial densities.

The specific plan area is divided into four districts that will have distinct focal points. They are the Civic Center, the creek zone, the Washington Avenue corridor and an area flanked by Juniper and Ivy streets and Jefferson and Plum avenues.

Several speakers and council members have cited the need for the city to provide additional parking in the plan area, possibly via a structure similar to the one that Temecula built in Old Town. Such parking garages have also sprouted at the Promenade mall and the Pechanga casino as business has boomed at those places.

Mayor Rick Gibbs noted that a high level of interest in the plan area by developers and investors would quickly fuel the need for more parking. If that level of interest is noted, he said the city should move “sooner rather than later” to craft a financing strategy that could blend public and private funds for that purpose.

Once the development incentives are in place, city officials say Murrieta’s downtown will be primed for a surge that could begin to unfold in a few years.

“This (plan) has every element we talked about and then some,” Councilman Alan Long said at the recent meeting.

Just as with the uncertainty of the recent weather, there is never a for sure thing when it comes to the playoffs. The rain continued to show its face earlier this week, but luckily for the local teams left in the playoffs, the weather is the furthest thing from their minds. Many of the top local teams in girls’ water polo and boys’ and girls’ basketball are out, which leaves boys’ and girls’ soccer and wrestling, where at least a handful of the areas program’s are still in the hunt.

BOYS’ SOCCER This past weekend the Citrus Hill boys soccer team (Mountain Pass League) pulled off an overtime victory over the El Monte Lions, 4-3, on penalty kicks in the CIF-SS Division 5 playoffs. With the win the Hawks (19-4-2) will be making their deepest run into the playoffs since winning the CIF-SS Division 6 Championship in 2011. They will take on Rialto in a semifinal match this week.

Nuview Bridge (21-3) of the South Valley league scored three goals in the final 10 minutes of the Division 7 quarterfinals to defeat Foothill Tech Saturday and will play the winner of the Riverside Prep at Victor Valley match this week.

GIRLS’ SOCCER Three local teams are still battling it out on the soccer fields, two representing the Southwestern

League (Temecula Valley and Vista Murrieta) and Hemet’s West Valley (Mountain Pass League).

The Temecula Valley girls’ soccer team will be making their first appearance in the semifinal round since 2007 after ousting University 4-0 Saturday, Feb. 25. The Lady Golden Bears (23-3-2), who were the second-place team from the Southwestern League, had scores from Krislyn Highsmith, Christine Maurer, Michaela Rentner and Sophie Ghaderi. Next up for Temecula Valley is La Mirada (19-4-2) of the Suburban League. The Lady Matadors won their quarterfinal game 2-0 over Corona del Mar. Vista Murrieta rallied to defeat Newbury Park, 4-3, in their CIF-SS Division 2 quarterfinal round game.

Already having a standout season, junior Kiana Dualan continued to shine for the Lady Broncos after she chipped in a free kick from Lydia Buggs to score the gamewinner. Vista Murrieta (19-4-2) now advances to play the winner of the Moorpark-Sunny Hills matchup winner in a semifinal game this week.

The West Valley Mustangs girls’ soccer team won Friday’s neutral playoff game against The Webb Schools by a score of 1-0.

WRESTLING There were five Inland area Masters Champions from this past weekend’s tournament including Temescal Canyon’s Cleveland Belton (120) and Temecula Valley’s Ryan Cosio (182).

Kiana Dualan is congratulated by Josie Guinn (14) after scoring the first of her two goals for the Lady Broncos in their quarterfinal match against Newbury Park.

Murrieta’s Rickie Fowler wins Honda PGA Classic JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Rickie Fowler, a Murrieta native and one of the PGA’s top golfers, made two huge putts to pull away from Gary Woodland and win the Honda Classic this past weekend.

Woodland had second place all to himself until a 3-putt on the 17th hole got the best of him. He then tried to lay up on the par-5 18th hole, but fell in the water. He wound up having to share second place with Morgan Hoffmann, who missed a 4-foot birdie putt on the 18th.

The water was a huge issue for many of the golfers including PGA champion Jimmy Walker hit

it in the drink on the 15th and 17th holes, which cost him five shots.

Fowler even jumped in to cool off when he hit his tee shot into the water on the 17th hole and made bogey, then hit a wedge into the bunker on the 18th and closed with another bogey to finish at 12-under 268. The win was Fowler’s first PGA Tour victory since the Deutsche Bank Championship in September 2015, giving him the fourth of his PGA Tour career.

Fowler won internationally last year in Abu Dhabi and in 2011 when he won the Korea Open, but it was the first time in his last five tries that the young golfer from the area turned a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour into a trophy.

Death of police officer stark reminder that ‘enough is enough’ Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Last week’s cold-blooded murder of a Whittier police officer who had strong ties to the local community has me up in arms.

Officer Keith Boyer, a 27-year veteran of the Whittier Police Department and drummer for the popular band Mrs. Jones’ Revenge, was killed shortly after arriving to the scene of a car accident in the area of Colima Road and Mar Vista Street in Whittier Feb. 20.

The man who allegedly shot and killed Boyer also injured Boyer’s partner, Officer Patrick Hazell.

That suspect, Michael Christopher Mejia, 26, of Los Angeles, who just happens to be a known gang member, is also suspected of shooting his cousin to death in East Los Angeles early Monday. Court records show Mejia’s criminal history includes charges of vandalism and resisting arrest and convictions for robbery, grand theft auto and vehicle theft. So, what was he doing out on the street? Well we have AB-109 to thank for that.

According to published reports

Mejia was released on parole under Post Release Community Supervision as required by Assembly Bill 109, a bill signed

by Gov. Jerry Brown that moves certain felony offenders from state prisons to county jails. Authorities have confirmed he was released about two weeks ago, only 10 days before the fatal shooting that killed Boyer and injured Hazell.

I was livid when I heard this story so I decided to reach out to a few local lawmakers and see how they felt about the situation. As it turns out, they feel pretty much the same way I do.

Senator Jeff Stone (R-Palm Springs) was quick to issue a statement to Valley News regarding Boyle and these lenient laws.

“The tragic and senseless killing of veteran Whittier Police Officer Keith Boyer by a criminal felon recently released from incarceration appears to be another example of the danger created by the passage of misleading Propositions and bad legislation that have allowed dangerous criminals back onto the streets of California,” stone wrote in his statement. “On Monday I

watched as Whittier Police Chief Jeff Piper said, ‘We need to wake up. Enough is enough. You’re passing these propositions; you’re creating these laws that are raising crime.’

“Chief Piper is exactly right and reflects the frustration I’ve heard from many in law enforcement from across California,” he continued.

According to Stone, since the passage of Proposition 47 by voters in 2014 and the signing of AB 109 in 2011, violent crime has been on the rise in California, up 12 percent in 2015 statewide according to the FBI. “The passage of Proposition 57 last November will only make these problems worse,” he wrote.

“I will continue to stand up here in Sacramento against laws that allow dangerous criminal to be released onto our streets.”

Stone ended his statement by sending his condolences to Boyer’s family.

“I also send my condolences to the family of Officer Boyer and my hopes for a swift recovery to Officer Patrick Hazel who was

wounded in this brazen attack by a paroled felon who should have never been allowed to go free,” he wrote.

State Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore) echoed Stone’s sentiments.

“Once again, an innocent man’s life was taken because of the revolving-jail-door policies of this state,” Melendez said. “The ‘social justice’ warriors in the legislature will lament over Officer Boyer’s death. They’ll talk about how tragic it is, how they ‘stand with our men in women in law enforcement,’ all the while coming up with more laws that further endanger innocent people. Whittier Police Chief Piper was right when he said enough is enough. The question is how long will it take for lawmakers to finally listen.”

Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff was also quick to speak out against the recently voter-approved Prop 47 which reclassified a large group of nonviolent felonies as misdemeanors under state law, purportedly to ease punishment for minor drug offenses while relieving state prison crowding. His

response and thoughts about yet another ridiculous law that does nothing but puts the public at risk is being published in Valley News this week, as a matter of fact, it’s right here on this page so you can see for yourself how he feels about it. Ironically, he feels the exact same way I do.

With an increase in property crimes compared to the same time last year, the price is steep for the John Q. Public.

Ironically lawmakers in Sacramento, aren’t the only to blame.

Of course, Mejia is responsible due to his criminal actions but voters checking the “yes” box on these terrible legislations, need to bear some of the responsibility for these crimes when they occur.

Their votes are part of what put the wheels to this tragedy in motion. I implore those who are tempted to vote yes on any future legislations that makes life easier on criminals to hear us when we say, “enough is enough!”

But, hey it’s only my opinion!

Sheriff Sniff: Criminals finding new safe harbor Sheriff Stan Sniff SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Prop. 47, the “Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act,” has indeed produced a safe harbor – but not for schools and neighborhoods. Instead, a swath of repeat criminals have found refuge in the measure’s broad, inflexible provisions.

The statewide proposition was approved by California voters Nov. 4, and took effect Nov. 5.

The measure reclassified a large group of nonviolent felonies as misdemeanors under state law, purportedly to ease punishment for minor drug offenses while relieving state prison crowding. In reality, Prop. 47 decreased penalties not just for “minor” drug offenses, but also for possession of major drugs

such as heroin and the date-rape drug rohypnol. The proposition also declared all thefts of less than $950 to be misdemeanors – regardless of what is stolen. Previously, the state’s threshold for felony theft was $400 and stealing a gun was an automatic felony.

It is too soon for a comprehensive look at how these changes have affected public safety, though the FBI uniform crime statistics did show that property crimes – likely traced to leniency in Prop. 47 – have seen an uptick in Riverside County in the first quarter of 2015 compared with the same period last year.

But at least one result of Prop. 47 is already clear. According to deputies on patrol throughout Riverside County, offenders have adjusted their behavior to push the limits of

the new law.

The anecdotal evidence is extensive, and includes the following examples: Deputies say in many cases, those arrested for theft take care not to exceed the $950 cutoff under Prop.

47. As one suspect put it, “I am not going to jail, right? I only stole under $900 worth of stuff.”

A suspect who victimized more than 100 residents of Riverside and San Bernardino counties said the new, lenient treatment for mail theft made stealing people’s identities attractive to him. It is worth risking a misdemeanor to cash in on the lucre of identity theft, he said.

And while not all Riverside County criminals are fully versed on Prop. 47, repeat offenders are learning fast:

When one suspect stole from a local store for the third time, she expressed surprise that she wasn’t going to jail, but said she was happy her actions weren’t serious anymore.

During a sweep, deputies arrested and booked two active gang members in possession of two stolen handguns. Because the guns were valued at less than $950, the suspects were cited and released.

One of them expressed shock that the crime was only a misdemeanor and he could go home.

The takeaway here – and the message offenders are absorbing – is there are no real consequences for criminal activity that falls below the threshold set in Prop. 47. The rigid proposition provides officers no leeway, no option for confining

these “minor” offenders, unless the suspect has a previous conviction record of qualifying felonies.

Area criminals are quickly adapting to exploit this new leniency.

Riverside County residents should be aware of this trend and understand the repercussions of automatic citations, rather than jail time, for gang members slinging stolen guns, identity thieves intercepting mail, predators toting date rape drugs, and thieves who habitually victimize homeowners and businesses throughout our communities. For these crimes and others – thanks to Prop. 47 – the price is steep for the public, while slight for the perpetrators.

Rebuilding our transportation infrastructure Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Last week I joined my Assembly Republican colleagues to announce introduction of the Traffic Relief and

Road Improvement Act (TRRIP).

Unlike other proposals you may have heard about, our plan will restore and enhance California’s transportation infrastructure, without raising taxes!

Since the 1970s our popula-

tion has almost doubled, but our highway system has not kept pace.

Californians pay the second highest gas prices and the highest gas taxes (including cap-and-trade) in the nation. While General Fund spending has increased by more than $36 billion over the past six years, the increased expenditures have not gone toward highways, while existing transportation funding has often been diverted to other uses. If we’re going to keep people moving and our economy growing, our increasingly inadequate highways must be rebuilt and upgraded.

Briefly, our plan generates $5.6 billion by dedicating all vehicle sales and insurance taxes to transportation projects, which are currently diverted

to the General Fund. Another $2.2 billion will be generated by repaying funds raided from transportation during the recession. These funds will support repairs to local roads, capacity improvements and traffic relief, highway maintenance and public transit projects.

TRRIP also includes reforms to ensure taxpayer money is being spent effectively. It removes regulatory red tape that slows street repairs, improves accountability by establishing a Transportation Inspector General,

and provides audits of major projects to ensure our transportation dollars are being spent efficiently and appropriately.

Providing reliable highways, streets and roads is one of the primary responsibilities of state government. Our economy and our way of life depend upon a transportation network designed for a growing population of almost 40 million people, not a woefully inadequate, crumbling system built for a population half its current size.

Faith

‘Increase Your Faith in Jehovah’ event presented by Jehovah’s Witnesses of Mira Loma TEMECULA – The upcoming circuit assembly hosted by Jehovah’s Witnesses of Mira Loma Assembly Hall in Mira Loma, California, invites the community to attend the “Increase Your Faith in Jehovah!” discussion. The program theme at the second bi-annual, one-day event is based on Hebrews 11:6. The assembly will provide encouragement and helpful guidance on building and maintaining strong faith. Full utilization of the Bible will help people navigate successfully in their lives and help them to effectively assist others.

Principal questions to be answered at the program include: What is true faith? How is it shown?

Why is it necessary in all circumstances to have faith? What benefits come from meditating on word pictures about God? What is, “the sin that easily entangles us,” and how can we avoid it? And what gives us confidence those with genuine faith will be rewarded?

The one-day, free educational program hopes to be of specific help to individuals and families alike in the community. All are warmly invited. The assemblies and conventions are free of charge and attended by people from a variety of cultures, religions and backgrounds. They put high importance on making everyone feel comfortable and welcome. All attendees are encouraged to bring their Bible. A free Bible is available to download at www. jw.org. Additional highlights not to be missed are the beautiful orchestral arrangements played before the morning and afternoon sessions and the baptism of young and elderly witnesses. It is recommended that attendees bring a lunch for the mid-day break. The program will be held Saturday, March 4, at 9:30 a.m. at the Mira Loma Assembly Hall, 3300 Cornerstone Drive, in Mira Loma, California.

Lake Elsinore is exploding with growth, Part 1; overview and infrastructure Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Editor’s note; Lake Elsinore is one of the fastest-growing cities in California and the nation. The first in a three-part series detailing the explosive growth planned for Lake Elsinore, Part One is an overview and covers growth infrastructure project.

“Welcome to the Action Sports Capital of the World,” Lake Elsinore Mayor Bob Magee said at a recent broker and developer meeting with the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Magee began to list city highlights, including 8,000 homes with a projected growth of another 1,100 in five years, 3 million square feet of industrial and commercial development in process or planning, including a 520,000 square-foot indoor sports complex, stocking the lake with 100,000 pounds of fish, Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing March 24-25, hosting the San Diego Padres at Storm Stadium March 31, Fox Sport West’s “Angler Chronicles” filming episodes on Lake Elsinore and the 49th running of the Lake Elsinore Grand Prix “Return to the Streets” Nov. 10-12.

“A partnership with the Lake District and 30 years of planning and work has positioned us for an amazing growth spurt and lots of opportunity,” he said.

The city is updating its East Lake Specific Plan and its Downtown Master Plan. It has recently also completed a new Drainage Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan, Nexus studies and an Alignment study.

According to Michael Bracken, managing partner and chief econo-

mist of Development Management Group, Lake Elsinore has a compelling story to tell.

The city – which had 3,530 residents in 1970 – currently has a population of 62,000 and grows by 2,000 residents per year. The population has grown 126 percent since 1990; California’s population grew 27 percent in that same period.

Median household income is approaching $75,000 per year.

Median age is 31. Housing is affordable with a median home price below $300,000. Property values rose 12.5 percent between 2014 and 2015. Lake Elsinore is averaging 600 new homes annually and is one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States.

Retail sales within a five-mile radius average $1.09 billion annually.

Sales tax revenue rose 9.2 percent last year. Revenues from property taxes rose 4.5 percent; revenues from Transit Occupancy tax grew 40 percent.

The city touts many advantages for businesses, including free technology-based analyses and reports and a fast-track program. Lake Elsinore’s industrial parks are located within designated HUBZones that provide federal contracting preferences to small businesses. The city is also finalizing its Foreign Trade Zone designation to allow duty-free treatment of U.S. plants engaged in international trade.

Infrastructure advantages include state–of-the-art Verizon FIOS fiber optic network, a non-reclaimable wastewater line and no utility use tax for electric, telephone, cellular, gas and water.

Lake Elsinore is centrally located on the Interstate 15 corridor with an

extensive transportation network that includes five international airports, three local commuter airports, two deep water ports, rail transport and major trucking companies. Lake Elsinore is 68 miles to San Diego, 74 miles to Los Angeles, 60 miles to Orange County and 30 miles to Riverside.

Lake Elsinore has more than 15,000 acres of undeveloped land; 1,250 acres are freeway frontage and currently over 23,000 planned units are yet to be built.

“The desire for a balanced economy of residential, commercial, industrial, office/flex and tourism make this area attractive for development and growth,” Bracken said.

Lake Elsinore’s Capital Improvement Projects budget is $76.4 million to support the projected growth and 60 active projects currently. The Cal Trans project to redesign the five Lake Elsinore I-15 on-ramps and off-ramps to accommodate projected traffic flow is still being studied; one option being discussed is European-style “roundabouts.”

City engineer Brad Fagrell described $26 million in infrastructure projects slated for the next 18 months.

The relinquishment of state Route 74 from the county to the city should be done by April 2017.

The affected section is from I-15 to the east city limit.

Installing 96-inch concrete drains on 3rd Street will be completed July 2017 at a cost of $3.9 million.

Major roadwork projects include the Camino del Norte extension and realignment with Canyon Estates Drive to be completed September 2017 at a combined cost of $4 mil-

lion; the widening of Railroad Canyon Road at a cost of $2,750,000 is also slated for September 2017 completion and intersection safety work at Gunnerson Street and state Route 74 will cost $2.5 million and be completed January 2018.

The city will be coordinating with the water district on pavement projects at Country Club Heights, Illinois Street and Strickland Avenue and Pottery Street. All are scheduled for completion by the end of March 2017; also to be completed by the end of March 2017 is the pavement rehab at Gunnerson Street and the Community Development Block Grant curb, gutter and sidewalk rehab. The Elm Grove Beach parking lot will be done fall of 2017. These projects total $1,791,000.

Signal lights will be installed at

Diamond Drive and Malaga Road January 2017, Diamond Drive and Village Parkway March 2017, Mission Trail and Campbell Street April 2017 and Lakeshore and Terra Cotta December 2017. Total cost is $875,000.

Phase 2A of Serenity Park, which includes a BMX course, dog park and parking lot, is slated for spring 2017 completion at a cost of $800,000. Phase One of Summerly Community Park will cost $10 million and be completed in winter 2017.

These infrastructure projects pave the way for the exploding growth of the city of Lake Elsinore.

Part two of this series will describe planned commercial development for the city of Lake Elsinore.

Beating cancer shouldn’t force patients into bankruptcy Kenneth E. Thorpe and Patricia J. Goldsmith SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Liza Bernstein survived breast cancer three times, but it took all she had. She lost her home and savings to the cost of tests and treatments. She’s not technically bankrupt, but that’s only because she “couldn’t afford the fees” to file the claim.

Bernstein recently explained why her medical bills proved ruinous.

Insurers “kept increasing my out-ofpocket costs and my deductible, and

they kept reducing how much they would reimburse and the network so there was more chance I’d be out of network,” she said.

Sadly, Bernstein’s experience is common. Nearly eight in 10 Americans have had trouble or knew someone who had trouble using their health insurance in the past year. Major reforms are needed to ensure that bankruptcy doesn’t become a routine side effect of cancer treatment.

Patients’ out-of-pocket costs have risen to unsustainable levels. Cancer patients can end up spending tens of

thousands of dollars, even if they have health insurance.

Hit with these costs, many patients significantly alter their spending habits to save money. Over 30 percent of patients cut back on groceries or borrowed money, according to a recent survey by CancerCare. About 20 percent skipped payments on rent, utilities or their mortgage to afford their medical bills.

Other patients turn to more dangerous techniques. Among cancer patients 25-54 years old, 30 to 40 percent missed doctor appointments

Study shows improved balance with Geri-Fit TEMECULA – A new study on balance improvement was recently published in Clinical Interventions in Aging published by Dove Press Feb. 10 entitled “Using the Balance Tracking System (BTrackS) and Geri-Fit as a Targeted Approach for Assessing and Reducing the Postural Sway of Older Adults with High Fall Risk.”

Study participants were enrolled in the Geri-Fit evidence-based strength training program and saw an 80 percent improvement in balance over a 90-day period. The study was conducted at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center in Menifee, during 2016.

between their health and putting food on the table.

Finally, insurance companies need to be held accountable for denying or limiting patients’ care. Many insurance companies require cancer patients to try less expensive, older drugs for several months before they’ll approve the use of newer, more effective treatments.

It’s a tactic called “fail-first,” and nearly 40 percent of cancer patients in the 25-44 age group has been subjected to it. By interfering with recommended treatment plans, insurers jeopardize their customers’ lives to save a few dollars.

When patients receive word from their doctors that they have cancer, they know they’re in for the fight of their lives, but they rarely expect that fight to be against their own insurance companies.

Improving transparency, lowering out-of-pocket costs and holding insurance companies accountable for limiting care could help to make cancer patients’ experience a bit more humane.

or treatments, postponed filling prescriptions or cut back on oral medications to reduce their expenses.

Skipping appointments and medication may compromise patients’ health and often leads to even greater costs. One study found that prescription non-adherence alone adds an unnecessary $100 billion in medical expenses each year.

Fortunately, there are solutions, but they will require a change of mindset on the part of policymakers, health care providers and insurance companies.

First, providers and health insurance companies need to stop surprising patients with unexpected costs.

Only half of cancer patients felt they understood what their insurance plans would cover. Requiring insurers to be transparent regarding the out-of-pocket costs would empower patients and their doctors to build a treatment plan that meets their needs and budgets.

Next, out-of-pocket costs need to be reduced. Each month, cancer patients between the ages of 25 to 64 spend more than $1,100 outof-pocket for treatment. Insurance companies, health care providers and drug developers should work together, so patients aren’t forced to choose

Finding a good nursing home nurse plus licensed practical nurse plus nurse aide hours) per resident day.

The staffing measures are adjusted for different levels of resident care needs.

Quality measures: These ratings are based on how a nursing home performs on 16 of the 24 quality-of-care measures currently posted on Nursing Home Compare. The measures reflect whether residents got flu shots, are in pain or are losing weight. We also look at how well the facility controls pressure ulcers (bed sores), whether it overuses antipsychotic medications, and other indicators of how residents are treated.

A facility’s overall star rating is a composite of the ratings on the measures above. The core of the overall rating is the health inspection rating, which is adjusted up if the facility receives high staffing or quality-ofcare ratings, or down if those ratings are low.

You can compare multiple facilities on Nursing Home Compare, as my colleague did when looking for the best spot for her mother. But keep in mind that star ratings are intended to be combined with other sources of information (such as a doctor’s recommendation) and shouldn’t substitute for visiting the nursing home in person. Indeed, after my co-worker identified two possible facilities, she visited the one that had an available room and was pleased to learn it had high ratings for food service, something very important to her mother.

At www.Medicare.gov, you’ll also find “compare” websites for hospitals, home health services, dialysis facilities, medical equipment suppliers, and Medicare-approved health and prescription drug plans.

Choosing a nursing home for yourself or a loved one is a complex, personal and often emotionally-draining decision. With that in mind, we developed a detailed brochure, “Your Guide to Choosing a Nursing Home or Other Long-Term Care,” which you can find online at https://www.medicare.gov/ Pubs/pdf/02174.pdf.

Among other things, the brochure provides a checklist of questions to ask nursing home managers, alternatives to nursing home care, and the legal rights and protections of nursing home residents.

I’m glad to report my colleague’s mother is on the mend.

Greg Dill SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

One recent Sunday morning, I woke up to a text message from a co-worker saying she had been up all night with her mother in the emergency room.

Her mom had fallen, broken her hip, and was getting admitted to the hospital for surgery. As you can imagine, my colleague was exhausted, worried and facing some important decisions. Even as her mom was being prepped for surgery, the hospital’s care coordinator was asking which rehabilitation facility she should be sent to afterward.

As a fellow official of the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), my associate has a better-than-average understanding of the health care system. But she had never had to find a rehabilitation facility for a loved one. So, she turned to an online tool CMS developed to help people find a suitable nursing home when they need one.

The tool is called Nursing Home Compare and you can find it on the www.Medicare.gov website. Just click on the button that says “Find nursing homes.” Enter your ZIP code or city and you can begin your search.

Nursing Home Compare assigns from one to five stars to every nursing facility that participates in Medicare or Medicaid, with five stars being the highest rating. These star ratings give you and your family an easy-to-understand summary of three important dimensions of nursing home quality: health inspection results, staffing information and quality of care.

The goal of our Five-Star Quality Rating System is to help people distinguish between higher- and lowerperforming nursing homes. CMS also wants to help nursing homes identify problem areas and to improve their quality.

Nursing facilities receive an overall star rating based on three types of performance indicators, each of which has its own star rating: Health inspections: Nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid undergo unannounced, comprehensive inspections about once a year. CMS bases health inspection ratings on the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies found during the three most recent inspections, as well as on results of complaint investigations during the most recent 36 months.

Staffing levels: CMS bases staffing ratings on two components: 1) registered nurse hours per resident day; and 2) total staffing hours (registered

Recently dedicated, long-time HUSD employee Patty Le Mon, a campus supervisor at Cawston Elementary School and Rancho Viejo Middle School, experienced a difficult life-changing event. During the holiday, Le Mon noticed a significant decline in her health.

She was driven to the district’s professional development service center Tuesday, Jan. 3, and Murray was contacted.

After determining that Le Mon had lost her private medical insurance effective Dec 31 and that she was too ill to enter the building, Murray quickly assessed the need for immediate medical attention and set the process in motion to get Le Mon processed and enrolled immediately.

Thanks to the compassion and dedication Murray showed, immediate coverage and emergency care was initiated. Her personal attention to the process provided reassurance and relief to the family during a very stressful time, noted school board officials.

Proper branding is more than a logo; it is managing expectations, thoughts and feelings of your customers.

In many cases, “perception is reality” and the more we can influence perception in a positive way, the greater value we create in the brand. Whether you do something well or poorly, you are influencing perception and branding yourself. The good news is that proper marketing, advertising, logo and website design can influence that perception positively. Product and market relationships are important. Employees – and how they treat customers, vendors, competitors, etc. – can have a huge effect on perception and branding.

Dining in the Valley Menifee Dog Haus Biergarten offers signature hot dogs, sausages, hamburgers and craft beer

What could be better for Edgar DeSantiago and Kyle McBribe just off work enjoying a signature hamburger, Tater Tots and a pint of craft beer.

Sooo Cali hot dog.

Dog Haus Biergarten brother and sister owners Tanya and Amir Yabrizizadeh, provide the best of food fare to everyone from children to adults.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“Auch due lieber!” The Dog Haus Biergarten in Menifee is a great place to have a craft beer and a signature hot dog after a hard days’ work. A cross between a fast food place and a sit-down restaurant at 30080 Haun Road in Menifee, the Dog Haus becomes a delightful break from the routine fast food take out fare.

The family restaurant, owned by millennial brother and sister team Tanya and Amir Yabrizizadeh, with its signature hot dogs, sausages and hamburgers and large variety of craft beers, provides fast and friendly service to young and old who find their way to the unique franchise restaurant.

Children, parents and grandpar-

ents will find every signature hot dog, sausage or hamburger grilled to perfection and placed on and a sweet Hawaiian bread roll. There are seven each of hot dog, sausage and hamburger builds to choose from, or if the customer chooses to do so, the opportunity build their own. The price is only $5.99 each for Haus Dog builds and $7.49 each for Haus Sausages and Haus Burgers.

Want some fries, Tater Tots and a fountain drink? Add $3.49 for any of the combo builds. For the children with the smaller appetites they can enjoy any two signature sliders and a fountain drink for $5.99. The Dog Haus also offers other upgrades, making almost every meal under $10. Where else can you find such a deal?

When I ordered the signature

[Above] Fresh off the grill.

Das Brat, I could hardly wait to taste the bratwurst, caramelized onions, whole-grain mustard aioli and sauerkraut I heard sizzling on the grill. My table neighbors, Laura Walker and Cassie Giddings from Murrieta were “oohing and ahhing” at their signature Love Boat Tater Tots, Haus chili, Haus slaw and a cardboard boat of what looked like “The Fonz,” a spicy Italian sausage, pastrami and melted mozzarella cheese.

“I just love coleslaw.” said Walker. “This is soooo good. Oh. My gosh. This is so unique, so exciting it has all kinds of flavors.”

area had just downed craft beers and were finishing up a signature Little Mule, a unique hamburger build with cotija cheese, white American cheese, pickled jalapenos, chipotle aioli – a spicy treat – with a fried egg to top it all off.

“That’s good stuff,” said Santiago who was there for the first time. “I love this place.”

Then the words “Order up!” came from the kitchen where cook Kim Sierra has just made up my anxiously awaited Das Brat. The German in me came out as I tasted the first bite, “Das schmeckt gut,” ohh it was so good. The mildly seasoned sausage, sweet onions and sauerkraut just melted in my mouth.

When I asked Amir what was put into the sausage that made it taste so good he said, “It’s a secret.” The premium meat and its ingredients are made up at Dog Haus Biergarten corporate headquarters in Pasadena along with the Hawaiian buns served with every dog, sausage and burger. “Can’t give you that,” said Amir, adding that people can

get a sausage build to take out. The restaurant does offer a takeout menu but does not cater.

Adults and children with a sweet tooth can also find ice cream treats with shakes, floats, soft serve cones or cups.

Yet the brother and sister, who also manage two Denney’s restaurants in Murrieta, have provided some food services to the local school districts on special occasions.

“We are getting more involved in the community,” said Tanya.

The Dog Haus Biergarten opened only six months ago, and after the Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting, has seen customer traffic continue to grow.

The evenings often see a full house, and in good weather their outdoor lighted patio quickly fills up. A special attraction to the adult crowd are the 14 on tap craft beers offered along with a number of canned craft beer. Some of the most popular craft beers are from the continued PAGE C-3

development and has probiotic bacteria, which promotes digestive health.

2. A Bowl of Oatmeal A 1/2-cup of oatmeal serves as an excellent breakfast. Oats are low in calories, rich in dietary fibers and proteins, and an excellent source of energy. They lower cholesterol, and blood sugar levels protect skin against irritation and reduce constipation.

To make it more nutritious and yummy, top it with 1/4 cup of blueberries. Blueberries are known to protect the brain from oxidative stress and boost immunity.

3. Broccoli-Cheese Chowder Seniors can take a 1-cup serving of cooked potatoes, smooth sour cream, and a healthy broccoli. The meal is rich in vitamins A, B6, C, and K, folic acid, fat, and carbs.

It’s an ideal source of energy, helps in muscle building and bone mass formation, and contains a significant amount of potassium, calcium, and sodium. Broccoli is known to enhance detoxification and is believed to reduce tissue inflammations that result from seniors’ weak immune system.

4. Chocolate Chip Cookies Seniors can enjoy an ounce (about 100 calories) of dark chocolate chip

cookies a day. Dark chocolate is a strong antioxidant that helps lower blood pressure, enhances blood flow, and ultimately supports heart health. In addition, it’s beneficial for diabetics.

Adding quinoa can make these cookies more nutritious because it has a delightful nutty flavor, slightly crunchy, and contains a balanced set of amino acids that are needed for tissue growth and repair. Besides, it contains a significant amount of phosphorous and magnesium, which are necessary for energy metabolism.

5. Healthy Meatloaf To reduce the amount of calories, seniors should swap the traditional mix of pork and beef with lean ground turkey. Use oatmeal instead of white bread to increase fiber and reduce the amount of fat in the dish.

A 4-ounce meatloaf serving has sufficient proteins, iron, phosphorous and Vitamin B-12 for an older adult. The meal is essential for energy, formation of red blood cells, and healthy bones.

Bottom Line A healthy and balanced diet is linked to a longer life. Senior healthy eaters are said to have a lower mortality rate compared to those who eat foods high in calories.

offered with 2 pints for 1 pint of beer Monday through Friday from 3-6 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 3-10 p.m. Cost for beer is $6 to $7.

sausage meals then the Dog Haus Biergarten in Menifee. Das Gut! For more information, including a complete menu, visit www.doghaus. com or call (951) 246 HAUS (4287).

Comfort foods are heartwarming meals that everyone would want to eat occasionally. However, a misconception that they’re typically high in calories makes them unfit for seniors who rather require foods high in micronutrients. The truth is that there are many yummy, yet healthy comfort foods for seniors.

Five yummy comfort yet healthy foods for seniors As an introduction, seniors can swap the high-calorie comfort foods with healthy alternatives. Here are five delicious heart-healthy foods a home-health aide for seniors can provide: 1. Baked Potato Seniors can transform this traditional comfort food into a healthy, filling, and hearty meal by substituting the white potato with sweet potato and topping it with Greek yogurt. Sweet potatoes are a good source of carbs, dietary fibers, betacarotene (an active antioxidant), and vitamins A & C. One medium-sized sweet potato offers the senior sufficient energy essential for healthy eye and skin.

Greek yogurt maximizes muscle

Espadin new restaurant and bar project in Old Town Temecula TEMECULA – Temecula Valley Winery Management announces plans for a new restaurant and bar concept set to open in Old Town Temecula summer 2017. Espadin is inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexico and the Yucatan along with the rich, festive history mezcal plays in the Mexican culture.

The new edition to Old Town will offer an elevated version of fresh, approachable Mexican food, another highlight: the extensive, fresh bar program that will be included in the new concept.

“We’re emphasizing the agavebased spirits, tequila and its smoky counterpart mezcal, stocking a combined 100 selections with spirit tasting flights available,” Director of Restaurant Operation Spencer Szczygiel said. “When mixed in cocktails, we’re balancing spirits with freshly juiced citrus, fruit and produce to create fun, approachable cocktails made to order – there will be no sweet and sour mix, just hand pressed lime and house- made mixers.”

Espadin will inspire feelings of festivity, gathering with friends and

family to enjoy, relax, celebrate and have a good time.

Located at 28544 Old Town Front Street next to their current restaurant and bar, Crush & Brew, Espadin is set to revitalize the corner of Front Street and Fifth Street. Espadin will be open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Sunday, along with brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

Follow Espadin’s progress towards opening as they post frequent updates on their social media platforms including pictures of menu items, influences on design and cocktail inspiration.

Fazeli Cellars & Winery has made a date that you definitely don’t want to be late for; March 11, the winery will throw a Mad Hatter Tea Party for its members and guests alike.

This event has been requested and brought back by popular demand. The normally beautiful winery will be transformed into the zany world of Alice in Wonderland for the special occasion.

Guests must run as fast as they can to make sure they get to the important date.

As guests enter the winery, they will be greeted with Champagne. As they fall deeper into the rabbit hole, guests can enjoy the five canapes and five wines paired alongside them. Dinner will continue with fun and unique food displayed on various food stations. There is sure to be something for everyone’s palate. And of course, it’s important to save room for decadent sweets from

the dessert table.

As part of the fun, guests are asked to truly immerse themselves in the revelry by dressing up in their best Wonderland garb.

For those who embrace the chaos and transform themselves into the curiouser and curiouser versions of themselves, there is the opportunity to win several prizes.

Fazeli Cellars will give prizes for the Best Wonderland Character, Best Hat, Best Couple, Best Embrace the Chaos Costume, and Best Have You Gone Completely Mad Costume. Prizes include wine and more. However, the most coveted prize is a one year membership to the winery’s new Embrace the Chaos wine club, valued at over $1,000.

The meal will not be the final fun to be had; dancing and laughter are always a part of the parties thrown at Fazeli Cellars. This is not a party for spoilsports; this event will be one of the silliest tea party’s guests could partake in. There may be a chance to play flamingo croquet, or better yet,

an opportunity to paint some of the Queen’s roses red while grinning away like the Cheshire cat.

Half the fun is dressing up with family and friends. If one truly is uninspired, they can always find a wacky hat to throw on top of their attire.

Embracing the Chaos is simply a state of mind, and it’s truly embraced at this wild party. Though guest and the folks at Fazeli Cellars and Winery might seem completely bonkers, as Lewis Carroll put it aptly, “The best people are.”

The Mad Hatter Tea Party will be held Saturday, March 11. Doors to the Tea Party will open at 6:30 p.m. The cost for members is $69.95, and the cost for non-members is $79.95.

Maurice Car’rie will hold a cover-free concert March 11 featuring Big Truth and School of Rock. The popular Temecula music school packed the dance floor at Maurice Car’rie Vineyards & Winery 30th anniversary Let’s Dance event Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016.

Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The first day of spring is quickly approaching, and the Temecula Valley wineries are finding ways to celebrate it. Maurice Car’rie Winery is doing it in the best way it knows how: with a concert.

On March 11, only nine days before the beginning of spring, Maurice Car’rie will hold a coverfree concert featuring Big Truth and the Temecula School of Rock.

The concert will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on the lawn in front of its winery. Guests can arrive early to stake out a spot to lay out blankets, but they should be prepared to spend most their time on the dance floor and under the lights.

For those unfamiliar with Big Truth, the band has been a Temecula Valley favorite that has firmly established itself with a wide variety of genres, such as 80s, classic rock, country, dance, disco and modern hits. There is certain to be at least one song for everyone to dance to with the assortment of music to listen to.

As an added layer of excitement, the Temecula School of Rock students will perform together on the Maurice Car’rie stage.

The music school’s performance program puts its students on a real stage for performance as part of its curriculum and this concert is the students’ opportunity to show parents and friends what they have been working hard on during their lesson time.

This is not a simple performance of one or two easily played songs; the performances of School of Rock students include songs from Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Frank Zappa, Queen and more.

For School of Rock students, real performances breed real skill, and real fun.

Of course, what sets the concert apart at the Maurice Car’rie Winery is its location, in addition to the fact that guests can enjoy the award-winning wines available by the glass or by the bottle to enjoy.

Guests can bring their favorite dinner to enjoy on picnic tables or on blankets as they wait for the music to start, or can purchase from the food trucks that arrive for the performance. If guests truly want to indulge in the experience, it’s best to order Maurice Car’rie’s famous sourdough bread filled with brie for their party to share.

This is not a bread for one; bring four or five friends to enjoy this

indulgent snack.

Maurice Car’rie’s winning combination of great food, amazing wine and superb music is surely the best way to bring in the spring season. Another concert with Keston Barker and Friends is set March 25, so be sure to catch that

performance as well.

Maurice Car’rie Winery is located at 34225 Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley Wine Country. For information about the winery, call (951) 676-1711 or go to www.mauricecarriewinery.com.

Hemet High to present ‘The King and I’ in March HEMET – This spring, Hemet High School will be staging Rodgers and Hammerstein’s classic musical, “The King and I.” With performances March 23, 24 and 25 at 7 p.m., this show is not only a visual spectacle. It is also an exploration of the love and learning that result when two different cultures interact.

The “King and I” is the story of a British schoolteacher, Anna, who is hired to educate the children of the King of Siam. As Anna and the King each fight for their beliefs and customs, they will learn what they did not know about others country and about each other. While the King attempts to bring his country into the modern world, Anna also becomes a confidant to the forbidden relationship between young

lovers, Tuptim and Lun Tha. Written and composed by the beloved team Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, the musical was an instant hit when it was first staged in 1951. It is a brilliant composition which blends drama, music and dance, including an incredible fifteen-minute performance ballet. The “King and I” features many classic songs, such as “Getting to Know You,” “Whistle a Happy Tune,” “Something Wonderful” and “Shall We Dance?”

Hemet High freshman Jessica Bruce plays Anna, opposite senior Jackson Mullen as the King of Siam. They are joined by an abundant cast including Kristiana McKelvey as Tuptim, Jazmine Ferrell as Lady Thiang, Justin Mclingberg as Lun Tha, Campbell Woolery as the

Kralahome and Justin Lakowski as Sir Edward Ramsey. Senior Taytumn Bush is featured as Eliza in the ballet “The Small House of Uncle Thomas.” A group of very young actors fill out the cast as the children of Siam, including John McKelvey as the Crown Prince Chulalongkorn and Julianne Cherland as Anna’s son Louis.

Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for ASB card holders and children under 13. Pre-sale tickets will be available at the Hemet High School ASB office beginning March 13.

Same-day tickets will be on sale at the box office one hour before each performance. Performances begin at 7 p.m. in the Ron Murray Performing Arts Complex at Hemet High School, 41701 E. Stetson Ave.

‘Love & Music ... to Help us Heal’ a multi-artist tribute concert celebrates the life of Whittier police officer Keith Boyer

TEMECULA – Plans for a benefit concert to honor slain Whittier police officer Keith Boyer are underway.

Boyer, a 27-year veteran of the Whittier Police Department, had strong ties to many in the Temecula Valley.

According to a press release issued by the artists organizing the event, the purpose of the concert is “to honor a great man who touched so many lives in the Temecula Valley.”

Friends of Boyer will come together at The Infinity Room at Pala Casino Spa & Resort, Sunday, March 5, to combat the senseless death of a beloved musician, father, grandfather and friend who was shot during a minor accident investigation while on duty.

“Boyer’s life struck many chords in those who knew him personally, professionally and enjoyed watching him perform in the many bands he played with in the Valley,” the press release said. “One of his last performances was Saturday, Feb. 18,

at The Merc in Old Town Temecula where he loved playing with ‘The Ranch Rockers’ a local band under the direction of vocal teacher Gwyn Sanborn.” Sanborn along with local award-winning vocalist Joanna Pearl have organized a night dedicated to “Helping heal the situation...combating it with Love & Music.”

“No matter how wrong the laws are; no matter how horrible this act of hate...All Lives Matter,” are the emotions drive Pearl to put this event together, along with Pala Casino, Resort & Spa CEO, Bill Bembenek, who also sang with Boyer accompanying on his beloved drum kit this past Saturday.

Pearl’s family is in law enforcement in Chicago, so she understands all too well the heightened sense of emotion surrounding this type of senseless act and how deep it rips the hearts of so many in a community like Temecula.

“We all have to be the change in

the world,” Pearl said. “I didn’t know Keith like so many others did, but I can’t sit back and not do anything.

I have to do something to keep his light and love of music, his family and the peace he fought so hard to keep every day of his life. Reaching out to our incredible musicians in the Valley was the only thing I knew to do, and it is going to be an awesome celebration of Keith by those who knew and loved him so much.”

Everyone aged 21 and older is invited to join dozens of musicians committed to performing during the evening of “Love & Music...to Help us Heal,” to be held Sunday, March 5, from 5-8 p.m. in The Infinity Room at Pala Casino Spa & Resort. The event proceeds will benefit Boyer’s family, as well as a Fallen Police Officer Fund to be determined.

Pala Casino Spa & Resort is located at 11154 State Route 76. For more information, including ticket information for “Love & Music...to Help us Heal,” visit www.facebook. com/groups/1122121274564036/.

HOME & GARDEN

Local war hero’s sacrifice being honored through solar power TEMECULA – Temecula’s war hero, Cpl. Juan Dominguez, is being honored for his sacrifices serving in the Marines by being given a free solar power system. Regionally headquartered company, Sullivan Solar Power, is donating the solar power system, which will save Dominguez and his family $132,226 on electricity costs over the next 20 years.

While serving on an assignment in Afghanistan in October 2010, Dominguez landed on a buried bomb after slipping down an embankment and lost both of his legs and his right arm in an explosion. As a triple amputee, Dominguez now has a higher body temperature than average. This increase created a need to keep his home extra cool at all times, which in turn costs up to $600 every month in Edison electricity charges.

Sullivan Solar Power saw their need and offered to donate a complete solar power system to ease the financial burden of an exorbitant electric bill.

“We are experiencing the warmest year on record and with the hottest summer months coming, we have been worried about needing to run our AC constantly,” Dominguez said. “Thanks to our new solar power system, we don’t have to worry anymore! My wife and I are very grateful for this generous donation from Sullivan Solar Power.”

In addition to the financing savings that Dominguez will see through solar power, he was excited to be reducing his carbon footprint through solar. Dominguez and his wife, Alexis, make an effort to live a sustainable lifestyle and solar fits well into their green lifestyle.

The solar power system will also lessen the need for imported fossil fuel needed locally, something Dominguez found important.

“When I heard the story of Cpl. Dominguez, I wanted to give back and be a part of

the solution,” Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power, said. “I feel honored to be able to provide Cpl. Dominguez financial relief through solar power while helping him declare energy independence.”

Other local veterans recently heard about the solar power gift and have offered their own services.

Army veteran Adam Fuller of Premiere Solar Cleaning has offered to provide the Dominguez’ a complementary lifetime solar cleaning, taking care of the only maintenance required with solar power systems.

Additionally, Jim Toth, owner of the local Chick-fil-A and a retired Marine lieutenant colonel, offered to cater an upcoming solar celebration without a charge.

To celebrate the Dominguez family going solar, there will be a small community gathering Tuesday, March 7, at 4:30 p.m. at the Dominguez’s home, 42581 Rivera Drive, in Temecula. The public is welcome and invited to attend.

REAL ESTATE

The 9-step system to get your home sold fast and for top dollar Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The real estate market has changed, remember when it was nothing to buy a home, wait a short while, and then sell it for a hefty profit. And then do it all over again. Well, as you probably know, those days are gone. As good as the market is right now, home prices are still below what they were at their peak. Today buyers are far more discriminating. It’s more critical than ever to learn what you need to know to avoid costly seller mistakes to sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

Selling your home is one of the most important steps in your life.

This 9-step system will give you the tools you need to maximize your profits, maintain control, and reduce the stress that comes with the home selling process: 1. Know why you’re selling and keep it to yourself.

The reasons behind your decision to sell affect everything from setting a price to deciding how much time and money to invest in getting your home ready for sale. What’s more important to you: the money you walk away with, or the length of time your property is on the market?

Different goals will dictate different strategies. However, don’t reveal your motivation to anyone else or they may use it against you at the negotiating table. When asked, simply say that your housing needs have changed.

2. Do your homework before setting a price.

Settling on an offering price

shouldn’t be done lightly. Once you’ve set your price, you’ve told buyers the absolute maximum they have to pay for your home, but pricing too high is as dangerous as pricing too low. Remember that the average buyer is looking at 15-20 homes at the same time they are considering yours. This means that they have a basis of comparison, and if your home doesn’t compare favorably with others in the price range you’ve set, you won’t be taken seriously by prospects or agents. As a result, your home will sit on the market for a long time and, knowing this, new buyers on the market will think there must be something wrong with your home.

3. Do your homework.

(In fact, a good real estate agent will do this for you). Find out what homes, like yours have sold in the past six to 12 months, and research what current homes are listed for.

This is excitedly how prospective buyers will determine and assess how much your home is worth.

4. Find a good real estate agent to represent your needs.

Nearly three-quarters of homeowners claim that they wouldn’t use the same agent who sold their last home. Dissatisfaction boils down to poor communication which results in not enough feedback, lower pricing and strained relations. Another free report entitled, “10 Questions to Ask Before You Hire an Agent” gives you the straight, to-the-point questions you should be asking when you interview agents who want to list your home. You can obtain a free copy of this report upon request.

5. Maximize your home’s sales potential.

Each year, corporate America spends billions on product and packaging design. Appearance is critical and it would be foolish to ignore this when selling your home.

You may not be able to change your home’s location or floor plan, but you can do a lot to improve its appearance. The look and feel of your home generates a greater emotional response than any other factor. Clean like you’ve never cleaned before.

Pick up, straighten, unclutter, scrub, scour and dust. Fix everything, no matter how insignificant it may appear. Present your home to get a “wow” response from prospective buyers. Allow the buyers to imagine themselves living in your home. The decision to buy a home is based on emotion, not logic. Prospective buyers want to try on your home just like they would a new suit of clothes. If you follow them around pointing out improvements or if your decor is so different that it’s difficult for a buyer to strip it away in his or her mind, you make it difficult for them to feel comfortable enough to imagine themselves an owner.

6. Make it easy for prospects to get information on your home.

You may be surprised to know that some marketing tools that most agents use to sell homes (e.g., traditional open houses) are not very effective. In fact, only 1 percent of homes are sold at an open house.

Furthermore, the prospects calling for information on your home probably value their time as much as you do. The last thing they want to be subjected to is either a game of telephone tag with an agent or an unwanted sales pitch. Make sure the ads your agent places for your

Courtesy image

home are attached to a 24-hour prerecorded hotline with a specific ID number for your home which gives buyers access to detailed information about your property day or night seven days a week without having to talk to anyone. It’s been proven that three times as many buyers call

for information on your home under this system. And remember, the more buyers you have competing for your home the better, because it sets up an auction-like atmosphere that puts you in the driver’s seat.

Addressing spring ant problems TEMECULA – The return of warm weather in the spring often marks the return of animals and insects as well. The spring season

is a popular time for insects to mate and build nests. This also may be a time when homeowners see ant swarms in or around their homes.

Ants and termites are social creatures and when their colonies become too large, flying ants will spread out in search of new territo-

Customer service is our #1 priority. No job is too big or too small… we’re here for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Contact us today for more info about our plumbing services.

Keep a clean house. Use vinegar and soap and water to clean areas where ants are seen. Many leave a scent trail of pheromones to tell others where to go for a food source.

Treat carpenter ants at the source. Carpenter ants will not bring back food to the nest. Instead, sprinkle diatomaceous earth or DE, around outdoor nests to eradicate colonies.

9. Don’t move out before you sell.

Studies have shown that it is more difficult to sell a home that is vacant because it looks exposed, empty, forgotten, simply not as appealing.

It could even cost you thousands. If you move, you’re also telling buyers that you have a new home and are probably highly motivated to sell fast. This, of course, will give them the advantage at the negotiating table.

7. Know your buyer.

In the negotiation process, your objective is to control the pace and set the duration. What is your buyer’s motivation? Do they need to move quickly? Do they have enough money to pay you your asking price?

Knowing this information gives you the upper hand in the negotiation because you know how far you can push to get what you want.

8. Make sure the contract is complete.

For your part as a seller, make sure you disclose everything. Smart sellers proactively go above and beyond the laws to disclose all known defects to their buyers in writing. If the buyer knows about a problem, they can’t come back with a lawsuit later. Make sure all terms, costs and responsibilities are spelled out in the contract of sale and resist the temptation to diverge from the contract.

For example, if the buyer requests a move-in before closing, just say no. Now is not the time to take any

ries and to establish new queens.

This mobility may also be coupled with an increasing number of ants marching on the ground and scaling walls.

Although many species of ants are harmless, homeowners do not want to see ants inside their homes – especially in large numbers.

The following strategies can help homeowners address ant infestations this spring.

Identify the type of ant around your property. Consult with online guides or books to identify the species of ant on your property.

Knowing which species of ant is in or around your home can help you address the problem more effectively.

Create a food trap. Ants are attracted to various food sources, such as fats, sweets and proteins.

Mixing a very small amount of a food with boric acid can help control ant populations. Ants will bring tainted food back to their colonies and perish.

Real Estate / Home & Garden Beware of rental listing scams Gene Wunderlich SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A decade ago in our super-heated real estate market, this area was ground zero for a number of housing scams designed to separate folks from their money. Perhaps the most notorious local scheme was the infamous “Stonewood Financial” debacle. That incident resulted in the ringleader eventually being convicted of over 300 felony counts in a $142 million scam that jump-started our local foreclosure crisis.

The Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors attempted to sound the alarm as early as 2007 but was met with yawns from various agencies as not being “sexy” enough or of having insufficient impact. But as the national economy plummeted and real estate prices softened precipitously, the scheme ground to its inevitable conclusion leaving entire neighborhoods in Murrieta and surrounding areas blighted with dead lawns and vacant homes. Legal actions started against the perpetrators in 2009 and finally concluded just months ago with convictions and jail time.

To improve their advocacy position, SRCAR joined forces with neighboring Realtor associations, local police and title and escrow officers in coalition with the Riverside District Attorney’s Office to form the Real Estate Fraud Advisory Team. Meeting bimonthly for the past several years, the partnership is credited with having a significant impact on real estate fraud in Riverside County. Aggressive action and reaction by the DA’s office has stemmed the tide of fraud that, at times, had permeated the market.

Of course as has been discovered, fraud never sleeps; it just morphs. At our most recent meeting, the team discussed current incidents of housing fraud and how to avoid them. First rule of avoidance? Be smart. There’s a reason for the old saying “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

First on the hit parade is rental listing scams. Often referred to as “Craigslist” scams, these scams continue to dominate the complaints. The local rental market is very strong right now with more people looking for accommodations that aren’t there. As a result, rental rates have been rising steadily for the past few years. So when a needy home seeker sees

an ad like “military relocation or divorce or job move. Don’t want to sell my house as I’ll be back in a few years. 2,500 square feet, 4 bed, 3 bath, large lot, pool. Willing to rent to the right party for $1,500.

Inquire.” Often, the scammers even include interior and exterior photos that they’ve scraped from an online website.

Or renters will peruse the want ads and see that a 1,600 square foot condo is going to rent for $1,800, they’ll want to “inquire” right away. Chances are the “owner” has already relocated and can’t meet them with the keys. But if the renters will wire them first and last month payments, they’ll overnight the keys. If the renters don’t want to do that, the scammers tell them to just wire $500 earnest money and they can wire the rest after they get the keys. They’ll “trust you.” Of course no matter how much is sent, the keys never show up and their email and phone number no longer work. If it’s any consolation, they weren’t the only ones that “rented” the place.

A variation of the rental listing scam is the person who actually breaks into a vacant home and puts it up for rent. They advertise an open house for the weekend, again usually below market rate. If renters decide it looks good, they sign a rental agreement and leave a deposit – first and last, earnest money or whatever – cash is king.

He’ll bring the keys Tuesday. Over the course of the weekend, he may take deposits from a dozen or more families. Checks are cashed Monday morning, but the keys don’t show up Tuesday although several prospective renters arrive with their moving trucks.

I know, it’s no more believable than the idea of being related to a Nigerian prince. But to the desperate, to the hopeful or to those who have never been fleeced, it can be a siren’s call. It is surprising how many people can’t avoid rushing headlong into the void.

Keep in mind the DA’s office can only be reactive to complaints; it’s up to renters not to become a victim in the first place. If it’s too late for that and real estate fraud has claimed another victim, file a complaint with the DA’s office.

The complaint form is available online by visiting the DA website at www.rivcoda.org. Or call the Fraud Hotline at (877) 723-7779 and ask that a form be mailed out.
