Menifee sees new unbudgeted General Fund costs Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Riverside County District Attorney Michael Hestrin calls the county’s crime increase “troublesome,” putting the blame squarely on the 2012 prison realignment

plan and the 2014 Proposition 47 releasing “non-violent” prisoners early and making any thefts valued under $900 misdemeanors.

His views as District Attorney came in his Thursday, March 2, Public Safety Town Hall meeting in Temecula’s City Hall attended

by local law enforcement, city and state officials and residents of Murrieta and Temecula.

“Now, Proposition 57, that just is the most dangerous of the three,” Hestrin said.

It’s Smash Up time at the Wreck Room Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Ever get so angry or frustrated you just wanted to smash something up?

But, if you do, there will be consequences. Sometimes it’s cleaning up the mess or maybe even worse.

Zack Teperman and his business partner, U.S. Marine veteran Kyle Haman, have a solution to that anger problem. It’s all the fuss you want with no mess at the newly opened Wreck Room in the Outlets at Lake Elsinore located at 17600 Collier Ave., Suite A107 off Highway 15.

“There are a lot of angry people in our society today,” said Haman, who served in Iraq,“We have been busy here with people coming from all over.” The attraction is

the opportunity for people with anger problems, frustrated with work, spouse, disagreeable family members and maybe just for the fun of it by smashing up dishes, bottles, plates, television monitors and all sorts of breakables with your weapon choice, hammer, ax, crowbar or baseball bat.

Dangerous? No. You wear a protective suit, face mask, knee pads, boots, chest protector, groin protector, gloves and other gear so no flying glass or metal parts spoil your fun. Once outfitted angry patrons enter into the “Wreck Room” with their weapon of choice. Upon entering the “Wreck Room” there sitting before you are the objects you really, really want to smash to

Hemet City Council approves $142,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for local nonprofits Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, seven nonprofit agencies serving the Hemet community were granted a portion the city’s annual Community Development Block Grant funds Tuesday, March 31, at the regular city council meeting.

This year’s CDBG entitlement from HUD and previously unexpended CDBG entitlements totaled $811,475.87, according to a report submitted by Hemet City Manager Alex Meyerhoff and Carla Callahan, CDGB coordinator. From that entitlement, six city departments that provide housing, home repair, code enforcement, fire station repairs, Americans for Disability Act requirements and public park safety received $519,475.87, while the nonprofit agencies that also provide help in public housing and safety received $142,000 in grants.

CDBG administrative costs by the city totaled $150,000 that includes the CDBG coordinator. The amount of CGBG funds allocated to the city’s nonprofit agencies is capped at 15 percent. The remainder goes to the city departments and grant administration.

“The purpose of CDBG is to carry out a wide range of community development activities directed toward revitalizing neighborhoods, economic development and providing improved community facilities and services, with maximum feasible priority given to activities that benefit low and moderate income persons,” Meyerhoff said in his report.

This year, most of the applying organizations received less than requested. Care-A-Van Transit will receive what they asked, $25,000, as did the Center Against Sexual Assault who will receive $20,000 and the

Family Services Association or More than a Meal that will receive $10,000.

Those receiving less than requested include the Community Pantry, $10,000; The Fair Housing Council of Riverside County, $17,000; Habitat for Humanity Hemet/San Jacinto; Hemet Hospice Volunteers, $15,000 and the Valley Restart Shelter who will receive $15,000 of the $20,000 requested.

Susan Markham, grants administrator of Valley Restart that helps homeless families in the Hemet area, appeared at the meeting and thanked the council for their $15,000 grant, although it was less than last year’s grant.

“We looking are forward to helping the homeless on the street,” Markham said.

Jim Lineberger, CEO of the Valley Community Pantry, also thanked the council and HUD for the grant, pointing out the grant would help the nonprofit, faith-based organization provide food for the homeless and low-income senior community in the city, many of whom are in danger of becoming homeless. The pantry is serving more than 20,000 people each year at a cost of about $5,000 per month, Lineberger said.

A representative of the Center Against Sexual Assault, Rebecca, appeared and also thanked the council for their grant funding.

City departments with approved 2017-18 CDBG funding include the city’s senior or disabled home repair program, $160,000; Code Enforcement Division - Housing, $180,000; Community Development – crimefree housing program, $42,000; Engineering Department - sidewalk and Americans with Disabilities Act ramps in public facilities, $3,675.87 and Fire Department - rehabilitation of Station 1 and 2, $133,800.

In other business, the council,

realizing that Hemet Youth Baseball/ Softball, has been instrumental in maintaining 10 baseball fields in the city-owned Brubaker Park, adjacent to West Valley High School, for almost 20 years agreed, unanimously, to renew its license fee contract with the nonprofit agency for $1 per year.

Ian Hall, president of the nonprofit Hemet Youth Baseball/Softball, was present at the meeting and quickly handed Public Works Director Kristen Jensen, who presented the recommendation to the council, a $1 bill to cement the license agreement for the next year.

Hall suggested that the HYBS has helped more than 20,000 youngsters find their way to a better life and happiness through its baseball and softball programs. Three of the five council members raised their hands to say their own children had been a part of the HYBS sports program and praised Hall and his work.

The Hemet City Council also heard a presentation by Fire Chief Scott Brown to purchase a 2017 fully equipped Chevrolet Tahoe command vehicle from Reynolds Buick GMC of Covina at a price of $73,188.39 for the fire department. He asked the council to fund for the vehicle from the Measure U allocation.

Following an explanation and a visual aid showing that the vehicle would house just about everything a command vehicle needed including heat sensors, monitors, radio equipment, extra air tanks and other emergency communication gear, the council approved the request.

Brown said the department does not have a fire command vehicle currently and explained that the lowest bidder on the new vehicle never responded to their request for a contract. Reynolds Buick GMC was the next lowest bidder from the local area.

HESTRIN from page A-1 proponents that brought the public for vote for them.

When Hestrin was asked, “Who passed that law,” his reply was, “You all did.”

“These are very problematic laws that have taken the teeth out of prosecutors and police officers hands,” Hestrin said, recalling a recent report from a business owner after the passage of Prop. 47. He said a known thief who had been stealing from the merchant’s store was caught stealing again and working a calculator on his phone. The arresting officers found out the thief had been adding up what he was stealing to make sure he was not taking more than $900 in merchandise so, if caught, he would only be charged with a misdemeanor, no matter how times he was caught.

This was the result of Proposition 47 that only puts those committing non-violent crimes in jail not prison.

With the early release law, criminals can now be released from jail just a few days later and out stealing again, Hestrin mused.

Hestrin said since the laws were passed in an attempt to reduce the population in overcrowded prisons, 10,000 to 15,000 prisoners have been released. Car thefts and Driving While Under the Influence are also affected by the early release laws.

One woman in the audience asked why these laws are staying on the books, when her husband was killed by an alleged illegal immigrant suspected of driving his pickup truck under the influence of marijuana.

Hestrin noted that specific cases, like hers, could not be discussed in public since the case was still under investigation, but was a possible issue.

Another man stood up, saying loudly, “We need more prisons. We need more prisons, no matter what the cost.”

Hestrin told the audience some of the things his office and law enforcement are doing to reduce the increase in county crime, but noted that it is still difficult for his 240 lawyers and court judges to handle the 65,000 to 75,000 criminal cases they get a year.

He said county law enforcement’s special agencies with undercover officers are going after the growing number of crime syndicates and cartels in county because they believe it is those groups which are responsible for making Riverside County “a gateway” for the drug traffic. The Riverside County Crime Impact Team has 18 full time investigators working on these criminal groups with help from state and federal law enforcement teams including ICE. He called the “sanctuary city” idea being promoted by some in Riverside and other cities in the county “a really bad idea.

tional,” he said.

Hestrin said looking at the immigration and criminal problems in Riverside County, that his office has “the highest conviction rate in the state of California,” and promised “we will send them to prison.”

He urged those in attendance to be proactive in joining his office’s “District Attorney’s Crime Prevention Program” that is reaching out to the community’s children through the schools, juvenile hall and churches for help and seeking available public safety education grants. He said one of the programs is finding former criminals going into these places to tell children about the consequences of gang membership and criminal acts.

Hestin, who was joined by 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington, at the Town Hall meeting, said, “the county is out of money again and does not want these programs cut.” Hestrin said they are still running through grant programs.

Murrieta Police Chief Sean Hadden spoke of one of his city’s successful crime prevention programs spearheaded by a Youth Accountability Team, which by reaching out to youths in the community, has an 80 percent success rate in keeping juveniles away from criminal acts.

Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, attending the town hall meeting, told the audience that there are 57 members on the California Senate

side who are working to reverse some of the laws creating the increased crime rates in Temecula and its surrounding cities. She noted that Riverside County’s criminal recidivism rate is reaching 70 percent meaning that many criminals after serving time for their crimes commit more crimes after release. That 70 percent is from a small group of returning criminals.

“We must retool our law enforcement to combat street crime in the cities as well,” Hestrin said. He pointed to Hemet as a particularly impacted city by increasing street crimes committed by released prisoners and the homeless.

“Please, say a little prayer for us and our law enforcement officers,” said Melendez toward the end of the town hall meeting.

Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards, Lake Elsinore Councilman Steve Manos, Murrieta Councilman Kelly Seyarto, Menifee Councilwomen Lisa Sobeck, Temecula Councilman Jeff Comanchero, Temecula Mayor Pro Tem Matt Rahn, Riverside County Sheriff Lt. Lisa McConnell and John Hunneman representing California Senator Jeff Stone were all in attendance. Other area city officials and tribal members were also in attendance.

Hestrin said the next in a series of monthly Public Safety Town Hall meetings he is conducting will be held in Blythe in April to discover the area residents’ public safety concerns.

TVUSD faces $14.3 million in budget shortfalls Stephanie Park and Paisley Trent VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula Valley Unified School District released a budget update in January forewarning that the district is heading toward a budget deficit of $14.3 million in two years. First confirmed at the Dec. 13, Board Meeting and based on the first interim budget report, the district will need to cut approximately $7 million per year from the budget over the next two years to end deficit spending.

Currently, 88 percent of the district’s operating budget funds 3,016 employees which equates to $247.3 million. Materials, sup-

plies, services and other operating expenses cost about $32.5 million.

The district claims that changes made to the Local Control Funding Formula and Governor Brown’s general funding plan caused $13.8 million to be reallocated. Money previously slated as “Categoricals” – covering class size reduction, textbook, economic impact aid and deferred maintenance costs – were rolled into the District’s LCFF structured budget.

The state allocated budget is determined by unduplicated pupil percentage and according to the TVUSD website, “The UPP counts students for supplemental and concentration grants based on these

factors: low income status, foster youth status and English language learner status. Districts with higher counts of students who qualify based on these factors receive more money through the LCFF.” LCFF funding was cut drastically for TVUSD because they have a smaller number of students that have low income, foster youth or English language learner statuses in comparison to the rest of California school district, placing them as the lowest priority for funding.

Such changes in budget structure also affected mandated requirements for school districts on items such as new textbook adoptions.

The updated math textbook adoption itself is predicted to cost $5 million. In a newsletter sent out Jan. 9, the district explained that no new funding was provided for the textbooks but in order to keep pace with requirements, TVUSD utilized one-time funding received in the amount of $14 million to cover items such as textbook adoptions, common core implementation and technology.

However, funding cannot sustain future mandates. In a correspondence obtained by Valley News from the district to TVUSD employees, efforts to minimize impacts will entail suspending and reducing adoption of textbooks.

Some of the biggest increases in the coming years are due to pensions mandated by Governor Jerry Brown in the form of CalSTRS and CalPERS. Employee and employer contribution has skyrocketed in recent years, making up most the deficit, with the new costs outpacing new revenue being created in the district.

Within the next two school years, CalPERS employer contribution rates will increase over $2 million approximating a 4.8 percent increase in the budget from the current year. CalSTRS contribution rates will increase by $9.83 million with the 2018-2019 school year and is projected to increase to $41.6 million by 2020-2021.

Other factors such as Average Daily Attendance are also considered in the district budget. Coupled with TVUSD’s general education enrollment decline since the 2012-2013 school year, there are approximately 100 students less per year due to trends of fewer

families entering the elementary schools. An absent student costs the district $55 per day, and as district effort, advertisements are broadcast to parents and students encouraging attendance as a costsaving measure.

Another major contributor to the deficit is the Grade Span Adjustment, a state mandated program that works toward having a grade level average of 24:1 student teacher ratio in grades TK-3 by 2020-2021. This program costs the district about $1.2 million annually since 2012/13.

“We have very tight language that comes from the state from the LCFF in how we staff our TK to third grade classrooms, but you can bypass that requirement if you have language in your contract that states otherwise,” explained TVUSD Superintendent Timothy Ritter.

“Many districts have language in their contracts that says that their TK-third grade classrooms can have as many as 32 students.”

The district has proposed a to cap of 26:1 with flexibility to 28 with extra compensation for those teachers. However, no additional changes will be made to class size, employee pay, compensation or benefits after negotiations with the Temecula Valley Educators Association did not reach a consensus.

Ritter said, on behalf of the District and School Board that “any changes made are done with a positive culture.”

Though TVEA claims that teachers are not opposed to buyback or furlough days, they want negotiations to be separate from ones that impact only the elementary school teachers. The potential measure of adding two furlough days or “buy back” days, in which teachers will be paid if they choose to attend staff development meetings, could save the district up to $1.2 million per day. While negotiations did not reach a consensus on furlough days, both parties, represented though TVEA President Jeff Kingsberg and Ritter, are open to revisiting the measure in the future.

In order sustain solvency, the District is working on reductions that don’t require negotiations to move forward. Listed in an email correspondence to all TVUSD employees March 3, these will involve notices to individuals

with temporary certificated contracts, management, certificated and classified staff reduction, as necessary, 10 percent reductions in all department and school site budgets, certification and classifies staff attrition, leaves of absence, retirements, vacant positions remain unfilled, suspension of reduction of textbook adoptions and relations in professional development offerings and conference attendance.

Staff members impacted by any potential layoffs as a legal and precautionary measure, will be noticed March 15, with the District “hoping to rescind as many as possible, as quickly as possible” after March 30 through staff leaving by natural attrition, retirement and other vacancies.

At the Feb. 21 TVUSD Board meeting, various members from TVEA addressed their concerns during public comments. Kingsberg introduced the slated public speakers and questioned district actions.

“Most district fingers continue to point north at Sacramento for our crisis,” he said. “The facts are that increased STS costs apply to all California districts. Eightyfive percent or more of the budget comes from daily student attendance, clearly known to be flat or declining in this district, yet the number of TVUSD positions and employees have increased in the past few years.”

Lauren Davis argued for more transparency within the district.

“None of these reasons were unforeseen when determining the budget in past and future years, and thus should not be used to explain why we are in a budget shortfall moving forward,” she said. “It is simply unfair to ask teachers to work harder for more periods a day for less pay, furlough days due to poor decisions.”

Ritter said that no negotiations have been met as of the current time so no changes will currently be made to the structure of class sizes and number of classes as well as staff pay, benefit and compensation.

Lynn Breen, a 23-year educator with TVUSD, referenced the 5-0 school board vote for increasing management salaries by creating a six-step salary schedule.

Southern California quilters host Quilts of Valor National Sew Day SUN CITY – The annual Sew Day for Quilts of Valor drew 39 quilters and supportive people from around Southern California Saturday, Feb. 11, to Sun City Civic Association.

It began in 2003 as a grassroots effort on the East Coast to cover our troops “touched by war” after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with quilts. From simple beginnings, one mother making a quilt for her son, the outreach has grown to a national endeavor with over 152,000 quilts being awarded to veterans from all wars.

Two local quilting clubs, Sun City Quilting Club and Hilltoppers of Winchester, have been involved in making these quilts for years. It is a labor of love, with fabric purchased by the maker or donated by those who want to help but do not sew.

Each club handles the quilt making differently. In the Sun City Quilting Club, one member may cut the pieces out, while another sews the top together and someone else quilts the layers together. A final

member will attach the binding and a label. Members of the Hilltoppers of Winchester each take care of all the steps for their individual quilts.

Hundreds of quilts have been made by these two groups. Each quilt may cost up to $200 to make.

The finished quilts go to the state Quilt of Valor representative who awards the quilts to veterans at the

request of the national organization. To request a quilt, contact Quilts of Valor at www.qovf.org.

Donations can be made by cash or check. Checks should be made out to Quilts of Valor Foundation, which is a 501(c)(3) organization. Contact Peggy Miller at (951) 943-1211 or Rose Rhoads at (951) 301-6169 to arrange for the donation.

jackets to the vehicle for all the family members before working their way through the fast-moving water to the truck where they performed a dramatic swift water rescue during a dayslong storm which had dumped almost 7 inches of rain in the area.

Firefighters were able to remove all four people from the vehicle to safety thanks to the efforts of Bradstreet, DeGrave and Macalinao, all rescue swimmers, with assistance from other members of Murrieta Fire and Rescue and Murrieta Police. The three men systematically plucked the family, one at a time, from the nearly submerged vehicle.

“I can imagine the children in the car and the fear that they experienced and the fear of the parents with the strong current going

around them.,” Stone said. “Who would have known the flooding we saw this year, not only here but across the state of California, would have caught the eye of Californians and certainly the public through the United States as these officers put their lives on the line as they are sworn to do to save the life of another.

“There could not be nobler profession than to be a firefighter and to save a life under these circumstances,” he said.

Stone presented the three men with Senate Certificates of Recognition for their heroic efforts.

“It wasn’t about who got the credit, it was working collectively to save lives,” Stone said. “God bless you all.”

Murrieta,” Stone said as he recapped the events leading up to the rescue. “It was only a matter of time, if the family did not get intervention, that we would have had four fatalities.”

The family of four was on their way home from a birthday party when their vehicle became stuck in some fast-moving water in Yoder Wash, located along Monroe Avenue south of Los Alamos Road.

A mother and father, along with their two young children, were trapped in their pickup truck when it was swept of the road and carried several hundred feet downstream.

Firefighters from six Murrieta Fire Department units threw life-

New San Jacinto city manager ‘lasers’ in on economic development Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Rob Johnson, San Jacinto’s new city manager announced a “laserfocused” city council direction for the economic growth of the city speaking at the March 3, First Friday Morning meeting with members of the Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce.

The meeting, held at the San Jacinto Unified School District offices, brought city, school district and local businessmen and businesswomen together to network and discuss the economic plans set by the city council and its new management team.

Johnson, who recently replaced retired City Manager Tim Hults, gave the chamber members an explanation of the council’s plans for

the next few years and their effort to improve city and local business partnerships.

Johnson presented a “Clear Direction and Laser Focused City Council – Go San Jacinto” power point presentation to the almost 100 people in attendance.

He said the city council will “be open to change strategies and change management,” and to “develop/create the team and to lead them to prepare for economic advancement with a capital improvement project focus.”

Johnson showed how the city was “going to improve our streets with our limited resources” and “be innovative with technology and communication and “collaborate and form lasting relationships with our current and future partners.”

He listed the chamber of com-

merce, San Jacinto School District, Mt. San Jacinto College, Soboba Band Luiseno Indians, private property owners, Riverside County agencies, residential and commercial real estate owners and their agents and brokers and residential and commercial development companies.

San Jacinto Mayor Scott Miller told the chamber members that many don’t know it, but only 30 percent of the people in the city pay for public safety and not everyone in the city is paying their share.

“We must do things outside of the box to do something for the city,” Miller said.

One of the things he suggested would be the establishment of a city owned electric company, much like the city’s water district where costs could be reduced.

He added the council and staff should “make sure Spanish speaking residents in our community are not afraid to call the police when needed.”

He assured the membership “we won’t skip a beat with him (Johnson) in economic development.”

He noted that the vacant land seen in the northwest portion of the will soon see long awaited housing tracts going up this year.

“You are going to see a boom this year,” he promised.

Johnson in his “Go San Jacinto” message said the city now has 37 capital improvement projects on its books and they will pick six or seven to focus on before going the next group. He did not say which ones the city is choosing but hinted that the Highway 79 realignment with all its challenges may be one of them.

San Jacinto Mayor Scott Miller tells members of the Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce that the city is looking at some new revenue streams in the city and forming a city-owned electric company that could save residents on their utility bills in the future at the First Friday meet March 3.

Menifee sees new unbudgeted General Fund costs Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

While revenues from property taxes and building permit fee revenues are projected to be higher than expected in the city of Menifee an additional $365,500 will be needed from the General Fund to cover the

city’s bills.

The General Fund budgetarily unfunded expenditures to date this fiscal year, were explained by Menifee City Finance Director Bruce Foltz to the Menifee City Council during its March 1 regular meeting.

The financial status of the city, to March 1, was provided in the Fiscal

Year 2016-17 Mid-year Budget Review and Budget Adjustments with the approval of the new interim city manager Ron Bradley.

In that report the council heard, “Revenues for both sales tax and franchise fees appear to be in line with the original proposed budget while revenues for both building

permitting fees and property taxes are projected to end the year higher than expected.”

This news was accompanied by the fact that most departments within the general fund are in line with their original budget projections with exceptions of a few departments. With that in mind Foltz noted the “General Fund net deficit for the current fiscal year are anticipated to be ($696,690) higher than originally budgeted.

The city adopted the current year General Fund with a planned deficit of $2,414,960 which was mostly contributed to the rising cost of public safety coupled with the slow growth in General Fund revenues and “the City’s inability to receive Vehicle License Fees.”

The report indicated that as of the end of January 2017, an additional $386,500 in appropriations are needed to support the current year General Fund operating budget. In the previous six months of the 2016/17 Fiscal year the city had unbudgeted costs of $360,190, according to the report.

There was an increase in appropriations from July 2016 to January 2017 that totaled $360,190. The mid-year increase in appropriations needed totaled the $386,500 yet $50,000 was lopped off that because of a slight increase in projected revenues of $50,000 leaving the estimated total General Fund Budgetary Deficit for Fiscal Year 2016/17 at

$3,111,650. Foltz did say the deficit might be more like $2,800,000 at the end of June.

Where did the mid-year deficit come from? Foltz gave the following explanation of why the need for the additional appropriation. While the city gained $100,000 in revenues in Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Fees and a General Fund Revenue Adjustments the resignation of former City Manager Rob Johnson and the council’s approval of his early departure cost the city $216,000 in unpaid salary, vacations and other benefits.

The cost of administrative services increased $34,000; non-department expenditures was $16,000; code enforcement, $50,000; Economic Development, $20,000; BPDES (water fees), $20,000; and community services, $20,000. The expenditures amounted to the $386,500.

The details of the additional expenditures and anticipated revenues were extensive and as a result the City Council agreed to continue reviewing the report and bring it back for further discussion at a later meeting.

The city of Menifee, according to Foltz for the past several years has been forced to use about $3 million of its approximately $8 million in reserves to continue all city operations, much of it due to the loss of Motor Vehicle License Fees and the recently ended Great Recession.

International Auto Crafters is excited to announce the Grand Opening of IAC’s newest collision repair facility in Menifee.

To celebrate we are hosting an open house on Wednesday, March 29th, 2017. The event will showcase the 17,000 sq.ft. State-of-the-Art Facility.

Menifee City Council extends application period for Measure DD Oversight Committee MENIFEE – The city of Menifee has extended the application period for accepting applications from community members interested in serving on the city’s Measure DD Oversight Committee until 5 p.m. March 17.

In November 2016, the Menifee community overwhelmingly adopted Measure DD, a 1 percent sales tax increase that will take effect April 1, 2017. In striving for transparency and accountability, Menifee’s City Council recently approved the creation of a fivemember Oversight Committee to

make budget recommendations to the City Council about Measure DD sales tax revenue the city anticipates receiving.

“The City Council has requested that an oversight committee be formed to ensure Measure DD generated revenue from sales tax, in fact remains local in the whole sense of the word,” said Interim City Manager Ron Bradley. “Revenues will be used to prevent cuts to city services like local police, fire and paramedic services, and to maintain critical city services like 911 emergency response times,

park and road maintenance and general city services.”

The City Council will appoint five community members at future City Council meeting to the Measure DD Oversight Committee from a pool of qualified applicants.

Committee members will serve as community representatives in an advisory capacity to the City Council and will make funding recommendations to ensure Measure DD expenditures meet the stated requirements. Members of the Measure DD Oversight Committee will serve a two-year term,

with a maximum of a four-year term limit (if re-appointed), and committee members will meet at least twice annually and other special meetings as called.

To qualify to serve on a city committee or commission, interested applicants must be a Menifee resident, a registered voter in Menifee, and may not be an officer or employee of the city, or serve on another committee or commission in another city. The application form is available on the city’s website, www.cityofmenifee.us/ committeessandcommissions. Ap-

plications are due at 5 p.m. March 17, and new appointments are anticipated to be made on the April 5, City Council meeting.

The general public is invited to attend Oversight Committee meetings and review Measure DD Committee meeting agendas on the city’s website at www.cityofmenifee.us/Agenda-Minutes, or for more information please contact the City Clerk’s office at (951) 672-6777 or please email Sarah Manwaring at smanwaring@ cityofmenifee.us.

from ages 10 to 70,” said Teperman.

“They can bring in their own objects if they wish, like a man with his exwife’s broken plate.”

He noted that they welcome “Girl’s night out,” bachelor parties, birthday parties and maybe father and son bonding days. He said they noticed more women were coming in than men.

“We are all about safety here,” Teperman said.

Before they client enters the Wreck Room they need to sign a “Wreck Room Waiver” as a release of liability and then carefully suit up with all the safety clothes and protective equipment.

“We don’t want anybody to get hurt,” Teperman said.

The items, like television sets and monitors, available for destruction are obtained from area recyclers, Haman explained.

“We go through all off them and remove any hazardous materials they might contain,” Haman said.

“We take out anything hazardous.”

No liquids are allowed. The

Wreck Room while accepting some donated recycled items will not accept older televisions because they contain many hazardous materials.

“We get a lot of stuff from recyclers,” said Teperman. “We break it up for them and give it back to them,” he mused.

He said one of the beauties of it all is that “we get rid of the mess.”

The co-founders of the Wreck Room see their unique business as another “extreme sport” like many others found in Lake Elsinore. They

said they did not know of any other “Wreck Room” businesses in California and only one in China and the other in Australia.

“This is an experience you will never forget,” said Teperman.

Cost? The Wreck Room offers five packages ranging from $19.99 for five small items to wreck and five minutes in the room to $149.99 per person for 20 small items, eight large items and 25 minutes in the Wreck Room. All the necessary safety clothing and gear is included.

Bring in your own Wreck Room approved items to wreck up (up to 8) and 10 minutes of wreck time for $24.99.

Haman a veteran of the United States Marine Corps said active or retired veterans will get extra items to smash up. The Wreck Room is a veteran owned business.

For more information see the Wreck Room website www. wreckitnow.com. Wreck Room is open at varied hours every day except Wednesday.

The door closes. You are there and now you go at it. Glass shards fly, metal parts whiz by with every blow.

“Sometimes, people when they are finished will cry or yell with relief,” said Teperman. Next door to the Wreck Room is the crying room where the relieved cry, yell and vent without embarrassment. No one will think the less of you.

Is the fun or experience all yours?

Not, necessarily in the Wreck Room front office there is a television set, recorder and chairs where friendly friends or family members can watch you take out your emotions or maybe fulfill a bucket list item.

A video of the clients wrecking experience will be made available for a fee.

Temecula’s Hailey Langland wins gold at 2017 Winter X games JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula’s Hailey Langland has come a long way since she

first started surfing at age five.

Born in Aliso Viejo, Langland spent her early years in Irvine and grew up playing typical sports such as soccer and spent time going to the beach. Her father, Geoff, an avid snowboarder, took Langland to Big Bear when she was five to give the sport a try.

Hailey progressed at a fast level and by age seven she entered her first contest and despite low results, she was hooked. The young standout then started winning events, got picked up by Burton Snowboards, which was her first sponsorship and from there the rest of the ride has been history in the making.

“I was amazed at how fun it was and how easy it was,” she said in a recent ESPN television interview.

Langland’s parents taught her early that it wasn’t about the competition, or about who was beating whom, it was about having fun and fueling her love for the sport. Geoff Langland saw a drive in his daughter and moved the family to Big Bear when Langland was 10 so she could get more time on the slopes. She earned several first-place finishes during the United States of America Snowboard and Freeski Association National Championships, mostly in the slope style and half-pipe divisions, but two years ago she started focusing strictly on big air, a fairly new sport for females.

Langland earned a bronze medal last year in the slope style division, her first time competing in the X Games, and earned silver at the recent Dew Tour games at Breckenridge Ski Resort, Colorado These days, the new Temecula resident spends most of her time

Hailey Langland, 16, shown here at home in Temecula, came in first in the women’s big air final Thursday, Jan. 26.

at the family’s second house in Big Bear and is fresh off being the youngest athlete at X Games 2017, where she took home the first gold of the Games. Langland stomped a flawless cab double cork 1080 which bumped her from sixth place into first place with the trick score of 49, out of 50.

After the X Games, she has her eyes on another goal – getting into the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. She was invited to go to the mountain where the competition will be held to test run the course a few months ago.

After her X Games win, Langland told ESPN, “If I could be a part of something like that, I’d be stoked.”

Former Bronco, current Cerritos College football player charged with alleged rape LOS ANGELES – A former Vista Murrieta High School football player and current Cerritos College football player is facing rape charges stemming from an alleged attack on a 19-year-old woman last year. Sheriff’s investigators said there may be additional victims.

Kishawn Holmes, 21, pleaded not guilty Feb. 24 to two counts of forcible rape stemming from the alleged attack at a home in Norwalk last Sept. 8.

According to the criminal complaint, Holmes has a 2014 conviction in a sexual assault case that occurred off campus.

Holmes was arrested Feb. 22 and has remained jailed in lieu of $2 million bail while awaiting a March 16 court appearance in Norwalk. On that day, a judge is expected to set a date for a preliminary hearing that will determine if there is enough evidence to require

him to stand trial.

The arrest stemmed from allegations of an attack by Holmes on a fellow Cerritos College student who “was apparently working as a student physical therapist for the school,” sheriff’s Sgt. Marvin Jaramilla told reporters.

“All we know is she was in a session setting with him to provide him some sort of physical therapy,” the sheriff’s sergeant said. “Shortly after the session, that’s when the incident occurred.”

The session and the alleged attack occurred at a home in Norwalk, Jaramilla said.

“I’m not sure of the exact date she reported it, but it wasn’t immediately,” he said of the alleged victim. “Based on our investigation, we believe there are other potential victims out there,” the sheriff’s sergeant said.

Holmes, along with another juvenile, was arrested in Sept. 2013 fol-

TEMECULA – Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley’s 14th annual St. Patrick’s Day Golf Classic, scheduled for March 17 at Temecula Creek Inn, is fast approaching and player spots, foursomes and sponsorship opportunities are disappearing quickly, say Habitat officials.

The fun starts at 8 a.m. with breakfast served to all golfers.

Contests will begin and an expected 220 golfers will head out to all three courses at Temecula Creek Inn. Along the way, vendors will provide information about their business and bonus games will take place. After play concludes, golfers will gather for the dinner, the winning teams and scores will be announced and awarded, and a raffle drawing featuring an

impressive array of raffle items, including the always popular Top-Shelf Libations Basket, will be given away.

Individual golfers can join in the fun for $185 and foursomes can team up for $700. This year, the Elite Mulligan Package is free-forall golfers who register and everyone has the chance to win trips for two to The Masters, Super Bowl LII, and a chance to participate in the $100,000 Shootout, Krank It Drivers, Fairway Woods and more exciting prizes.

they’re willing to do,” Kingsberg said.

The District has until June to finalize their operating budget for the following school year.

“In April 2016, management was placed on a step of their new salary schedule and then before waiting a year for a raise, management moved to the next step in July 2016, giving them another bump in salary,” Breen said. “For some an additional 4 percent, for Mr. Ritter this equated an additional $8,000 in just three months. At the Superintendent budget meeting Feb. 2, I asked was TVUSD aware of the budget shortfall of $14 million when they asked the district to go out and look at surrounding district salaries.”

Laura Boss, a spokeswoman for the district said the Board has a commitment to attracting and retaining the best employees at all levels of the organization.

“Last year, consistent with that commitment, a study was performed among like surrounding districts. The goal was to bring all employees to within 3 percent of the average among like districts.

Our teachers are currently within 1 percent. The study realigned about 50 administrative positions including principals, high school AP’s, coordinators, directors and executive cabinet members. The total annual cost to realign these positions is approximately $250,000,” she said.

According to Ritter, the salary increases which are for all TVUSD employees and will automatically occur regardless of the situation, account for a $1.7 million annual expenditure for both classified and certificated staff members. The district’s current plan is trying to minimize the impact on staff and students alike.

“The District needs to be more clear, specific and transparent and able to lead by example with what

This and that with a few thank you’s in between Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

I pride myself on having an open door and providing a forum for our community to voice their opinions on things happening within our community. Last week, I wrote an opinion piece on the shooting death of a Whittier police officer and how many of the laws designed to open the doors for non-violent criminals were to blame for the tragic death of Officer Keith Boyer.

That opinion piece struck a nerve for one Valley News reader who shall remain anonymous.

After reading “Death of police officer stark reminder that ‘enough is enough,’” in which I expressed my opinion of being quite fed up with the problems being caused by legislation such as AB-109 and Prop 47, this reader had enough

and fired off an email to me. That email was full of phrases like “Republican extremist,” and “illegitimate president.” I was told my opinion was “laughable and typical of a neo-con” and not to bother responding as the author was not “interested” in my “dribble.”

Was I bothered by this? Not really. We are all entitled to our opinion and have the right to express it in a responsible mature manner. The sad thing to me is, had I not been blocked by the author, I would have reached out to him and requested to run his email to me as a letter to the editor, offering him the same platform that I have to share my thoughts and opinions on things.

Such a shame.

By the way, bottom line is that crime is up and our local law enforcement and residents are the ones who have to deal with those

consequences, so no, this email did not change my stance on the issue, just in case you were wondering…

On to other things!

I thought it might be nice to recognize a few businesses, people and cities within our readership area this week. There are lots of wonderful things going on in the area and it’s nice for people to know that we appreciate them.

First up, the annual Rod Run roared into Temecula this past weekend, bringing with it money for local businesses, money for the residents in the form of sales tax and some good old fashioned family fun. An estimated 30,000 people raced to Old Town Temecula to see these impressive works of art on wheels, and that equates to a lot of money flowing into the pockets for those who choose to call Temecula home. I want to

throw a huge shoutout to Rod Run organizers from my editor desk.

Job Well Done!

Secondly, three first responders were honored this week by State Senator Jeff Stone for the role they played in rescuing a family when their vehicle was swept into a flooded riverbed in January.

Firefighters Capt. Todd Bradstreet, Capt. Sean DeGrave and Engineer Mike Macalinao were all acknowledged by Stone in a ceremony held at Murrieta Fire Station No. 1. Thanks to Senator Stone who took the time to make sure these tireless workers were recognized for all that they do and an even bigger thank you goes out to all of our first responders for all that they do to keep us safe. See the story on Page 1 of this week’s Valley News or online at www.myvalleynews. com if you haven’t already.

Last week, the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians broke ground on a new hotel and casino complex which is expected to bring hundreds of jobs to the area upon completion in 2018. This is definitely good news for the area as it will bring revenue, jobs and help increase visibility of the area as a tourist destination. I can’t wait to see how it all plays out. Thanks to the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians for taking on this project that will only better our local communities.

Finally, I want to remind readers, if you would like to submit a story idea or a letter to the editor, you can do so by visiting www. myvalleynews.com or by sending me an email at valleyeditor@ reedermedia.com. Good or bad, I look forward to hearing from you!

help. Many, sadly, resort to suicide or other dependence. During 20142015, San Diego County’s Adult Protective Services confirmed a total of 1,148 cases of elder/dependent adult financial abuse. With its large retiree population and high number of reported elder financial abuse cases, San Diego County is well-situated to implement this pilot program. Under provisions of AB 502, compensation

will be limited to $3,000 per person and essential data will be gathered to determine the overall effectiveness of this type of program in helping victims regain their dignity and restore their independence and self-respect.

Passage of these two bills will provide badly needed protections and assistance that will enhance and safeguard the lives of some of our most vulnerable citizens.

Protecting Seniors from Abuse Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

My Assembly Bill 728 will not allow convictions of elder/dependent adult abuse to be eligible for “expungement.” An expungement proceeding is designed to have the records of a prior conviction destroyed, eliminated or sealed. While current law allows expungement of criminal

records under certain circumstances, elder abuse should not be included.

San Diego County alone handles approximately 9,000 cases of this type of abuse each year alone.

By preventing persons who have committed these types of crimes from re-entering the workforce in the same field, AB 728 will protect a defenseless population from suffering further offenses by those

hired to care for them.

Secondly, my bill, AB 502, will establish a two-year pilot program in San Diego County permitting the Victim Compensation Board to reimburse victims of elder or dependent adult financial abuse for the costs of financial or mental health counseling. When seniors are robbed of their life savings they don’t always know where to turn for

Blotter Biker who killed wife in drunken crash sentenced MURRIETA - A Calimesa man who killed his wife when he drove his motorcycle into the back of a car while drunk and speeding on a San Jacinto road was sentenced Monday, March 6, to six years in state prison.

John Francis Fults, 61, pleaded guilty Jan. 25, to gross vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence for the 2014 death of 52-year-old Pamela Fults.

Fults was originally charged with second-degree murder, but under a plea deal with the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, prosecutors dropped that count in exchange for his admitting the manslaughter allegation.

Superior Court Judge Kelly Hansen certified the terms of the plea agreement and imposed the sen-

tence stipulated by the prosecution and defense. Pam Fults’ younger sister, Karen Aceves, complained that the sentence was too light.

In her statement to the court, Aceves alleged that her sister was mentally and physically abused by the defendant, insisting that he didn’t care after his wife of 10 years died, leaving the funeral arrangements to her siblings.

“Fults is not a productive member of society and should be sentenced to 15 years in prison for seconddegree murder,” Aceves wrote.

“The plea bargain with six years in prison, probably out in three years, is an insufficient measure of justice for Pam.” District Attorney’s Office Public Information Officer John Hall said the plea agreement stemmed

from a defense offer that underwent a “close review” by the prosecution.

“It was determined, given the state of the evidence and our having to prove the case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt at trial that accepting the defense offer would be the appropriate disposition in this case,” Hall said. Fults’ attorney did not respond to a request for comment. According to sheriff’s officials, the defendant and his wife were drinking at a San Jacinto pub on the night of Dec. 20, 2014, and left about 12:45 a.m. to head home to Calimesa.

Fults was driving his Harley-Da-

vidson northbound on State Street at a speed one witness stated was well over the 45 mph limit, Deputy Joseph Cristinziani wrote in a June 2015 arrest warrant affidavit.

As Fults approached Seventh Street, he failed to see a Honda sedan stopped in front of him for pedestrians and slammed into the back of it, catapulting himself and Pam Fults into the intersection. She suffered severe head trauma and died a short time later. He suffered major injuries but eventually recovered, according to court papers.

The woman driving the Honda was not hurt. Cristinziani said Fults’

blood alcohol level was 0.18 – more than twice the legal limit to operate a vehicle – and he admitted drinking “whiskey” before the wreck.

Prosecutors filed a DUI murder charge against the defendant because, only seven months earlier, he had been involved in a separate alcohol-fueled crash on the same motorcycle, according to the affidavit and criminal complaint.

That misdemeanor case was pending at the time of the fatal collision, and Fults pleaded guilty to the offense at the same that he admitted the manslaughter charge.

Semi overturns on Interstate 215, injuring three RIVERSIDE – A semi tractortrailer overturned on Interstate 215 in Riverside Monday, March 6, plowing through the center divider and landing on its roof, trapping the driver, who was among three people injured in the wreck.

The crash occurred about 12:10 p.m. near the Van Buren Boulevard exit, directly west of March Air Reserve Base, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The agency said the big rig,

carrying hundreds of pounds of produce, went out of control on the freeway’s northbound side, crashed through the center divider guardrail and flipped over, coming to rest across all three southbound lanes, which remained closed until the truck and associated debris were cleared away about 4:40 p.m.

A SigAlert was issued at 12:15 p.m. as a miles-long traffic jam developed on southbound Interstate 215, with significant slowing on the northbound side, too.

The truck driver suffered major injuries and could not free himself, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

An agency spokeswoman said three other vehicles were also involved in the wreck and occupants of each vehicle were treated at the scene by paramedics.

Along with the trucker, two other motorists were taken to Riverside University Medical Center in Moreno Valley for treatment – one with moderate injuries, and the other with minor injuries, the fire department said.

Officials said three engine crews and two truck companies, numbering about two dozen fire personnel, took part in the rescue operation.

A hazardous materials unit was summoned to the location and mopped up spilled diesel fuel, according to reports from the scene.

For more than four hours, all southbound traffic was diverted into Riverside via Van Buren, snarling traffic at the south end of the city, as well as neighboring Moreno Valley.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Murrieta man sentenced to 14 years in prison for possession of child pornography LOS ANGELES – A Riverside County man who was previously convicted of distributing lewd material to a minor was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison Monday, March 6, for a federal count of possession of child pornography.

Anthony Michael Scotti, 22, of Murrieta was sentenced to 14 years for the felony which he pleaded guilty to in April, admitting that he possessed the illegal images on an iPod and that he used the Kik mes-

saging app to distribute images of children engaged in sex acts with adults, court documents show.

In a plea agreement filed in Los Angeles federal court, Scotti also admitted that he used text messages to convince a 15-year-old girl in another state to take sexually explicit pictures and send them to him.

Scotti, who was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez, was given a sentence of 14 years in federal prison.

Injured hiker rescued near Lake Elsinore LAKE ELSINORE – An injured hiker was rescued from a hiking trail east of Lake Elsinore Saturday, March 4.

With assistance from the U.S.

Forest Service and the Orange County Fire Authority, firefighters were able to airlift the injured hiker and transport her to an awaiting ambulance, according to Jody Hagemann with the Riverside County Fire Department.

The injured hiker was hospitalized with moderate injuries.

Lake Elsinore exploding with growth, part two: commercial and industrial Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Editor’s note: Lake Elsinore is one of the fastest-growing cities in California and the nation. This article is the second in a three-part series detailing the explosive growth – economic development, investment and population – planned for Lake Elsinore. Part One was an overview and covered infrastructure projects to support the growth.

Part Two focuses on commercial and industrial growth and some of the businesses coming to the area.

“The window of opportunity is wide-open,” Director of Community Development Grant Taylor said, as he outlined more than 1.5 million square feet of commercial projects that have been entitled and in construction or are in the planning process.

Some businesses new to Lake Elsinore include Tractor Supply Company, Sleep Train, Dickey’s Barbecue Pit, Subs N’ Cup, SportClips, Stadium Pizza, Kitchen and Tap and Aldi.

Next, Grant described some of the projects for commercial growth and sports tourism.

Outlets at Lake Elsinore received exterior improvements, and signs; also, the Collier Avenue medians are complete. Four outpads totaling 20,000 square feet on the north side of Collier Avenue between Nichols Road and Riverside Road are under construction.

The 14-acre, $6.5 million Rosetta Canyon Sports Park is open. The project was designed for tournament play with five softball diamonds, a two-story concessions

stand with a covered observation deck; it also features a children’s playground, clock and cell tower, gazebos and an artificial turf football and soccer field. The first phase of the project, the Rosetta Community Park, consists of two lighted tennis courts, two lighted basketball courts, a baseball field, a tot lot, a 1.25-acre enclosed dog park and barbecue and picnic areas all on 8 acres.

The 154,000-square-foot WalMart Superstore, located on 18 acres on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Cambern Avenue is awaiting a regional drainage fix. The project also includes four outpads.

The seven-acre Airstream RV Dealership located at Camino del Norte and Ohanna Circle near Main Street will feature a unique sales office: a 6.20-square-foot airplane hangar.

“Restaurant Row” on Dexter Avenue has a buffet and grill option under construction, the 7,800-square-foot Golden Corral.

The eleven-acre Artisan Alley at the Diamond on Diamond Drive between Malaga Road and Campbell Street is a 95,000-square-foot, mixed-use commercial and retail center that will feature a hotel, breweries, a market and restaurants, in addition to national and regional retailers.

In keeping with its theme as “The Action Sports Capital of the World,” the city of Lake Elsinore is building the 525,000-square-foot Diamond Sports Center that will have 58 indoor, multi-use courts, restaurants, food court, sports bar and ancillary services. The build-

ing will be 50 feet tall and sits on 24 acres on Diamond Drive between Lakeshore Drive and Pete Lehr Drive adjacent to the Storm Stadium.

The Lakeshore Town Center is a 416,000-square-foot, mixed-use development with three multistory buildings, retail, 110 condos, convention center with pier and 100room hotel on 25 acres on the lake at the intersection of Main Street and Lakeshore Drive.

The Central Plaza Shopping Center occupies 7 acres at the northeast corner of Central Avenue and Collier Avenue. The 71,800-squarefoot commercial, multi-tenant shopping center is pending a March approval.

The Wakerider Resort and Beach Park will consist of an 11,350-square-foot commercial development with a restaurant, bar, coffee shop and bakery, retail and an additional eighty-room hotel. It also includes RV parking, camping, two floating docks and 30 boat slips.

Taylor also briefly described a number of other projects underway.

The construction of the eight-building, 152,000-square-foot Pasadena Industrial Park at Pasadena Street and Hunco Way is nearly complete.

The Fairway Business Park, a threebuilding, 75,000-square-foot industrial park on 17 acres at the corner of Chaney Street and Temescal Wash channel has been approved.

The Circle K demo and expansion project at Central and Dexter is underway; the new 4,500-squarefoot Circle K food store, gas station and car wash at Riverside Drive and Joy Street are in plan check.

tural Center, is expanding to 10,000 square feet for restaurant, brewpub and arcade.

The 13,000-square-foot, multitenant Ness Industrial building on Collier and Birch Street partially built a decade ago is nearing completion. The Quikcrete Plant is pending a Planning Commission hearing. Taylor also mentioned Central Pointe, Kassab Travel Center and an upscale boat sales service and manufacturing company, Tige Water Sports, with an interest in building a 26,000-square-foot center.

The La Quinta Inn & Suites, at the northwest corner of Dexter Avenue and 3rd Street, has been approved and is awaiting building permits. The 63-room, four-story 36,446 square foot building will sit on 1.05 acres.

The recently-approved Alberhill Villages Specific Plan includes 2.3 million square feet of commercial, 974,500 square feet of mixed use and a 63-acere, 6000-student university.

“There is a lot of activity and great growth in the city of Lake Elsinore right now and in the near future,” Taylor said. “The window of opportunity is wide-open.”

Author’s note: In last week’s article, Mayor Magee’s city highlights should have begun with “A development of over 8000 homes has just been approved with another 1100 residential dwelling units in process and over 29,000 yet to be built in the next five to 10 years.” Valley News apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

and successful event.”

Yet another wonderful and generous sponsor is the city of Temecula, which enthusiastically supports Reality Rally by allowing the event to take over Old Town on a Saturday for the famous race.

“The city of Temecula loves the Reality Rally, because the Rally loves Temecula,” Mayor Maryann Edwards said. “Gillian Larson, Reality Rally founder, and her devoted crew work tirelessly for an entire year to put together an international event that promotes Temecula worldwide as the beautiful, vibrant and welcoming city we all know and love. Reality Rally helps Michelle’s Place make better health a reality for Temecula Valley women. It’s a WIN-WIN-WIN!” There are many, many more

sponsors beyond those whose comments are included here. All of them made the event complete, and Reality Rally expressed their deep gratitude: “Dear Sponsors, words will never be enough to summarize the work, time and money you pour into our event each and every year. Because of you, Reality Rally is known all over the world as a stellar, entertaining, unforgettable, life-changing event impacting the women and families at Michelle’s Place who most need our support and love.

Gillian and all of us here at Reality Rally want to express to you how much we appreciate – really, really, really appreciate – what our sponsors give us, do with us and do for us. So, to all who contribute to this wonderful cause: Thank you!”

Sponsors bring Reality Rally to life Taryn Murphy VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Imagine a peanut butter sandwich without jelly, Fred Astaire without Ginger Rogers or tennis shoes without laces. Sounds pretty gloomy, pretty hopeless and pretty darn near impossible.

And that’s exactly how Reality Rally would be without their sponsors.

Reality Rally is approaching its seventh year, which is a milestone to celebrate and a reminder of the proper credit due. Though it seems like Reality Rally 2016 was just a few short months ago, here they are again, thanking the hundreds of individuals, businesses and organizations that so generously support the unique fundraiser every year.

Reality Rally runs almost entirely on sponsors, from the venues to products and showcased talents; just about everything visitors saw, ate, or touched at the event was provided for free by a sponsor. The sponsors have been coming on board for six years to make Reality Rally ... well, Reality Rally. Without them, the event and the amazing benefits it provides to women undergoing breast cancer would cease to exist. It’s that simple.

Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula is one such sponsor, providing the gorgeous venue for the Friday evening reception. Jeff Litrell, event manager at Wilson Creek, shared a few thoughts about Reality Rally.

“Wilson Creek is a very philanthropic family owned business,” Litrell said. “This fits rights in with

kind of our core values. Our overall mission for Wilson Creek is to enhance lives. Michelle’s Place is a very worthy cause. And it’s a lot of fun too, for the owners as well as the staff.”

Fazeli Cellars Winery in Temecula, one of the newest sponsors, will be providing the venue for the Celebrity Chef Showcase planned for April 8.

“We are so excited to be a part of Temecula’s premier charity events,” Romy Fazeli Alahmari, whose family owns the winery, said.

“When we were first approached, we jumped at the opportunity to get involved since our family has been devastated more than once by this dreadful disease. We are looking forward to April 8, and will do everything to make sure it is a fun

The Tax Lady discusses tax identity theft Karyn Vaughn, E.A. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In the electronic age, people are all accustomed to being on alert for signs of identity theft which impacts their credit, but do they know what to do if they are the victim of identity theft relating to their taxes?

Bad guys are increasingly using stolen Social Security numbers to file fraudulent tax returns and claim bogus refunds.

In 2015 the Internal Revenue Service stopped 1.4 million confirmed identity theft returns totaling $8 billion and rejected or suspended processing of an additional 4.8 million suspicious returns. The U.S. General Accounting Office has called on IRS to do more to protect taxpayers from tax identity theft.

How does tax identity theft impact individuals? Often they are unaware that their information has been hijacked until they attempt to

file their tax return. If they are filing electronically, the return will be rejected with a message stating that a return has already been filed under that Social Security number. This action will halt any refund that may be due until the issue is resolved.

They might also receive a letter from IRS requesting additional taxes for income that is attributed to the Social Security number, but which was not theirs.

If an individual discovers one of these circumstances, they should contact IRS immediately. They will need to complete Form 14039 Identity Theft Affidavit. IRS will then assign an agent from the Identity Theft Victim Assistance Unit to the case. The agent will work with the individual to get the situation resolved to free up the refund. Once verified as the rightful taxpayer, the individual will be assigned a unique Identity Protection PIN to use in filing returns in the future.

This number will change annually.

After determining that an individual is the victim of tax identity theft, it is likely that their identity has been compromised in other ways. They should take the same steps as for credit identity theft.

Notify credit agencies to put a fraud alert on their credit report and alert their bank. They can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www.identitytheft. gov. Conversely, if a person becomes the victim of credit identity theft, remember to notify IRS as well, to prevent also being victimized through the tax system.

IRS recommends several precautions to protect private information.

Always use security software on computers and establish strong passwords. Beware of phishing schemes; do not click on links in unknown emails and protect all data. Keep Social Security cards and tax records in a secure place.

Identity theft is a serious crime.

Victims’ lives can be disrupted, and the financial impact can be severe.

If a person’s tax return is impacted, they refund can be tied up for an extended period. Remaining vigilant; watching for signs of identity theft and taking immediate action when something arises will keep the bad guys at bay.

Denise Broome, a woman in her early 40s, was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. She underwent five months of chemotherapy, two and a half months of radiation therapy and Michelle’s Place is continuing to offer support for her and her family.

Broome described her reaction as similar to most women’s initial reaction to a breast cancer diagnosis as “fear of immediate death.”

Struggling with the aftermath of having a double mastectomy, Broome was referred to Michelle’s Place by the American Cancer Society for support, which she now considers “one of the greatest blessings in my life.”

Michelle’s Place creates a community of love and empowerment within their support groups; the

women are able to understand and to relate to each other. She arrived at the first meeting feeling insecure and “just wanting to feel like a woman again,” Broome said, but she left her first visit with gently used prosthetics, a wig, resources and “the biggest smile.”

Now she especially advocates for their Free Expressive Art Class, which meets Monday nights and allows even those who aren’t “artsy” to meet women with different stories and share experiences, while using art as therapy. The Look Great, Feel Great program is also important to Broome and other cancer patients, allowing woman to improve their self-esteem and self-image while they undergo chemotherapy or radiation. She recounts how the Pink Ribbon program helped her and her family during the holidays, giving them

“Legacy Endowment Community Foundation and The Elisabeth Wilson Endowment are honored and grateful to support The Elizabeth Hospice,” said Jan Pichel, Program Officer for Legacy Endowment Community Foundation.

“We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the compassionate comfort you provide to patients and for the sanctuary and strength you offer to their loved ones.”

quest. The film sheds light on how a medical system focused on a cure often leaves out the sensitive conversations that need to happen so a patient’s true wishes can be known and honored at the end.

“Being Mortal” underscores the importance of planning ahead and talking with family members about end-of-life decisions.

Seventy percent of Americans say they would prefer to die at home, but nearly 70 percent die in hospitals and institutions. Ninety percent of Americans know they should have conversations about end-of-life care, yet only 30 percent have done so.

Hemet and San Jacinto school districts announce February Students of the Month Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

HEMET – The February 2017 Students of the Month for Hemet and San Jacinto school districts were recognized Feb. 16 at Sizzler Restaurant in Hemet.

Lindsey Tarvin of San Jacinto High School moved from Escondido and was forced to adjust quickly. Using what she learned from her own experience, she has been involved in helping students, especially freshmen, transition to the high school. She plans on attending Mt. San Jacinto College and wants to be a professional chef.

Jason Godinez of Mountain View High School was recognized for modeling a strong work ethic and diplomacy. He plans on surprising his dad and becoming a commercial jet pilot.

Adam Huxell of Hemet High School is involved in mock trial, track, tennis, community service and church while maintaining a 4.4 GPA. He attributes his work ethic and drive to his father, who died May 2016. He will be studying English at the honors college at Azusa Pacific University.

Ryan DeJager of West Valley High School was involved in drama, Chambers, band and earned a 4.25 GPA. The band won the Class 2A State Championship this fall. He will be studying social work and child development at California State University Chico.

Eric Urena of Tahquitz High School will be the first in his family among 48 grandchildren to attend college. Urena is fourth in his class with a 4.33 GPA, was the Boys’ State representative, president of California Scholarship Federation, vice president of the Key Club, drama club and is a volunteer at the Hemet Public Library. Despite learning English for the first time as a fourth-grade student, he plans to major in English at an Ivy League university.

Trent Beggin of Hamilton High School was recognized by his presenter, Jennifer Halstead who has been his math teacher for two years, as being “unfailingly kind and having the purest heart of any kid.” Beggin is being raised by his grandparents. He plans on studying finance at California State University San Marcos.

the past two years. Delano’s father struggled with drug addiction and has been missing for two years.

“Noah faces adversity with grace and focus,” Mora Trujillo, his math

teacher, said. Delano plans to major in theatre and minor in math at California State University San Marcos.

Azusa Pacific University Hosts Educator Hiring Fair AZUSA – Azusa Pacific University’s School of Education invites current students, alumni and the public to attend its annual Educator Hiring Fair, connecting schools, districts and other education-related employers with those seeking jobs in the field. Last year, more than 75 employers from across Southern California were represented at the event, and a similar turnout is expected this year.

The Educator Hiring Fair takes

place Saturday, March 11, in the Felix Event Center, located on Azusa Pacific’s West Campus, 701 E. Foothill Blvd., in Azusa. The fair is open to APU students and alumni starting at 9 a.m. and to the public starting at 10:30 a.m.; the job fair closes at noon. There is no cost to attend. Register by March 9 by visiting www.apu.edu/education/.

“Hosting the Educator Hiring Fair enables APU to showcase our students and programs to districts

and private schools seeking to fill key educator roles, including classroom teachers, school counselors and psychologists, and school/district leaders,” Anita Henck, School of Education dean and professor, said. “We have a solid track record of student and alumni placements through these events, including on-the-spot hiring, as well as callbacks for final interviews.”

According to the California Teachers Association, about a third

of teachers are nearing retirement, and California will need an additional 100,000 teachers over the next decade. California’s demand for new math and science teachers in the next 10 years is expected to be over 33,000, and the current rate of teacher production in the state cannot come close to meeting that need.

The School of Education at Azusa Pacific University equips teachers and administrators for excellence

and leadership in educational settings. Offering comprehensive graduate education degrees, the school provides a doctorate of education program and accredited teaching credential and master’s programs, including degrees in special education, school psychology, physical education, educational leadership and educational technology.

New Oakhill Academy offers open house tours of campus TEMECULA – There’s been some activity at 29275 Santiago Road, Temecula, and people are wondering if something is going on. It is. New private school Oakhill Academy is now open for enrollment and announced that it will be opening its doors August 2017.

To give parents a look into a “day in the life” in the new classrooms, Oakhill Academy will be offering a series of open houses; all are welcome to attend. The hourlong presentations will cover the mission and vision of the school as well as the layout of the campus and a tour of the sample classrooms. The open house events will be offered every

Wednesday through March 29 at 10 a.m. or 7 p.m. and Saturdays March 11 and March 25 at 2 p.m.

The new school welcomes students from the ages of 3-13. The dual focus of science, technology, engineering, arts and maths and world language instruction is both unique and innovative in the Temecula Valley. STEAM is an acronym that represents how all topics in subject areas relate to each other and to the real world. Students will engage in hands-on, inquirybased learning, and they will be given opportunities to contextualize their learning with real-world experiences and applications. In

Estimated 30,000 ‘Revved up’ spectators enjoy the 2017 Temecula Rod Run

The weather was warm. The cars were polished and shined. The bands and orchestras were playing. It was a perfect day for the 30,000 families, children in hand, classic car drivers and even for the pet dogs that strolled the streets of Old Town Temecula March 4, for the 29th Temecula Rod Run. Every year one of Temecula’s signature events in Old Town, the Rod Run, seems to attract more and more people from throughout Southern California. This year, the drivers of the 600 classic, souped-up, tricked out and custom cars came from almost every corner of nation.

Every kind of four-wheeled vehicle from the 1920s to the supercharged muscle cars of the 1960s attracted attention from the curious and amazed spectators. The surprise entry of a 1962 GMC 6500 totally restored high-profile dump truck stood out along Main Street leading to Temecula City Hall.

“Who would put that much money into an old dump truck?” one amazed visitor said, looking over and under the big shiny red truck that looked better than new.

In the Temecula Stampede parking

lot, where the Rod Run contestants registered Friday, March 3, before the Friday night Cruise, were dozens of custom and restored cars of every kind and make. Tim and Shelley from San Clemente, during the Show and Shine event Saturday, March 4, stood by their completely rebuilt 1961 Corvette with its twin four AFB carburetors showing, telling an interested spectator it was for sale for $75,000. They were very pleased with the Rod Run, saying it was their second time at the Temecula event.

“We think it is the most organized and best run in California,” they said.

The love, care and the millions and millions of dollars put into the hundreds of vehicles being shown in the six blocks up and down the streets of historic Old Town was apparent in the car owners and drivers, like those from the “Over the Hill Gang.”

The Over the Hill members sat in a large circle of chairs in the parking lot of Mad Madeline’s Grill talking and laughing about their favorite cars surrounding them.

In contrast to the cars shined to perfection lining the streets, there stood a rusty, beat up 1949 Studebaker pickup truck near of The Bank at Main and Front streets. The old wooden barrel in the truck bed was curious, but the little things inside

the cab with its old seats told a tale of “George,” the rare three-quarter ton Studebaker owned by a 13-yearold Murrieta girl. Her pride and joy was the attraction it brought at the recent Temecula Christmas Parade.

Father and daughter are finding joy in restoring this treasured old truck, a letter on the side window explained.

Across from the old Studebaker and in front of Rosa’s Cantina was a blue 1969 Mustang with an incredible Tunnel Boy High Ram engine so large it obscured the driver’s front window view.

“I’ll bet that guy couldn’t drive that on the streets; a cop would get him for obscured vision,” a passerby said.

Rolling up the street toward the northern arch of Old Town in the Temecula Wine Garden and Stage Stop parking lot were 40 almost 18-foot long and sleek 1961 to 1963 Lincoln Continentals. Some of the 320-horsepower, 430-cubic-inch V-8 classics, owned by members of the Southern California Suicide Kings, had their convertible tops partially down. Alex Melendez of Moreno Valley, president of the Suicide Kings, proudly pointed out his club bought all their 40 Temecula Rod Run spaces at once.

“We could even have more next

year,” he said. “We could fill this whole parking lot up.”

Down Front Street, Jimmy Aria from Chino Hills was putting on a bit of polish and rubbing it into the roof of his original 1972 Mercedes 280SE. “The judges have already been by,” Aria said. “But I hope I win a trophy.” He proudly pointed out that his car runs perfectly.

The judges, experts in automotives and auto restoration, were chosen by the city of Temecula, who is a sponsor of the annual spring Rod Run. They had a difficult time choosing the show cars to win the wheelshaped trophies. The trophies were handed out toward the end of event based on the different categories of cars and their show ability. The categories included the best of show, classics, special interest vehicles, hot rods and custom cars. See the Valley News March 24 for a complete list of winners.

During the two days of the Rod Run, the local restaurants and vendors all did a booming business; it was one of the best commercial weekends for the store owners.

Helping bring customers to the shops and restaurants were many local music groups that played in front of their businesses. Going all-out

to promote their students and a trip to Disneyland for a “Music in the Parks” competition were members of the Temecula Strings Conservancy of Music. The conservancy’s young musicians played classical and popular music on their violins, cellos, bass and other stringed instruments on the street corners to the delight of the Rod Run crowds.

Other music, mostly heavy rock bands, could be heard throughout Old Town during the day.

The Temecula Rod Run of 2017 will long be rememberd by the thousands of visitors, drivers, auto enthusiasts and families who attended.

Official Temecula Rod Run announcer Jeff Waddleton urged car owners to sign up early for the spring 2018 Temecula Rod Run, planned for the first weekend of March 2018.

Often sold out months before the signature event, 600 spaces will be made available for the event.

“Be sure to get a spot,” Waddleton said.

According to the Temecula Police Department who provide security for the special event, the event has been outstanding this year and in years past.

“These are very well behaved crowds,” one officer patrolling the Old Town streets said.

After years spent in Brooklyn, New York, Flatbush to be exact, Sal Joya, along with his brother Mike know their pizza and invite you to come celebrate their third year serving up what many claim is “the best pizza” in the valley.

Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce members will gather in the Moraga Plaza on Rancho California Road at Lyndie Lane in Temecula for Sal and Mario’s ribbon cutting and lunch with friends Friday, March 10, at 11:45 a.m., where everyone is invited to enjoy their incredible pizza and bagels.

The Joyas know the secrets when it comes to making a truly authentic New York Style Pizza and it’s more than the best ovens which he had delivered to Temecula from a New York pizzeria. He uses only four ingredients in his delicious thin crust pizza making it light, airy, crispy yet perfection in the realm of chewy for even the most discerning dough connoisseur.

Every pizza is prepared from scratch with no additives or preservatives, only the freshest ingredients like 100 percent whole milk mozzarella cheese, fresh tomatoes, basil, seasonings and filtered water. This extends to their zesty sauce, calzones, oven baked wings, salads and New York style bagels too. Yes, one of Times Square’s fan favorites are their bagels.

“Not everyone knows how to make an authentic bagel,” Sal explained. “Our bagels are made the traditional New York way.

Firsthand rolled and formed into a circle, then kettle boiled and finally baked to give them their crisp, shiny outer crust, yet leaving the center soft and chewy, the way true bagel fans desire.”

By the slice or by the pie, you’ll find traditional and unique pizzas at Times Square. One favorite craved by many is their Buffalo Chicken Pizza which is always ready by the slice for lunch or dinner, along with eight other styles from an Artichoke and Chicken Pizza, to a Margarita, barbecue chicken, and the classic Pepperoni or Meat Lover’s pizza. You’ll find a delicious Hawaiian Pizza too, even garlic knots and pepperoni

bites are available in minutes.

The slices are huge, but how else would it be authentic if you couldn’t fold your gigantic slice in half to fit it in your mouth?

Sal knows it takes more than fabulous customer service and delicious food to keep customers happy and coming back for more.

Their love for the community shows not just in their commitment to going above and beyond when it comes to the quality of their ingredients, and diners’ takeout or dining experience, but they give back wherever they can.

“You’ll always find Little League teams here after games,” Sal said. “I love having the teams and their families in. We always give every kid a free slice of pizza when they come in with their jerseys on after a game.”

But they don’t stop there, Times Square Pizza & Bagels also works with local PTAs, clubs, organizations, anyone who needs to do a fundraiser.

“We give 30 percent of our sales back to the group,” Sal said.

For those looking to hold a fundraiser at a school, or pretty much any location, Times Square Pizza & Bagels will come to you. In fact, Times Square Pizza & Bagels is one of the only restaurants in the valley that will deliver lunch and dinner up to 7 miles from their location in Temecula – that means up into De Luz, to Murrieta, down to Pechanga and even out into Wine Country.

Open seven days a week, Times Square Pizza & Bagels serves up their crave-able New York Style Pizza by the slice or by the pie, offering dine-in and take out from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Diners will find 10 to 15 beers on tap with specials for every big game or sporting event shown on their big screen televisions. “Save yourself the airfare to New York and come to Times Square!”

Use beer to make tastier tacos TEMECULA – Tacos are a beloved dish, and few things complement a tasty taco better than a cold beer. Ambitious home cooks who want to combine these two tailor-made companions can thank the Stone Brewing Co. for the following recipe for “Arrogant Bastard Ale Avocado Tacos,” which can be found in John Holl’s “The American Craft Beer Cookbook,” published by Storey Books. This recipe is great for avocado lovers and vegetarians or anyone who simply enjoys a good taco.

Arrogant Bastard Ale Avocado Tacos Makes 6 to 8 servings Salsa Fresca 1 ½ cups seeded and diced plum tomatoes 1/4 cup diced yellow onion 1/4 cup seeded and finely diced jalapeno peppers 1/4 cup lime juice 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves Salt and black pepper Arrogant Bastard Ale Battered Avocados 2 cups Stone Arrogant Bastard Ale, chilled 3/4 teaspoon Cajun spice blend 1/2 teaspoon ground dried chipotle peppers 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 ½ ripe avocados, peeled, pitted

and quartered 2 cups panko breadcrumbs Salt Tacos 1 cup Stone Levitation Ale BBQ Sauce, or similar barbecue sauce 18 small corn tortillas 1 cup grated Asiago cheese Microgreens or chopped fresh parsley, for garnish To make the Salsa Fresca, combine the tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, lime juice and cilantro in a bowl and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to three days to allow the flavors to mingle.

To make the batter: Pour the ale into a narrow, high-sided container.

Stir in the Cajun spice blend, chipotle peppers, garlic, salt and paprika.

Sift the flour and baking powder together in a small bowl and add them to the beer mixture slowly; whisking well until the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated. Add more flour if necessary to create a tempura-style batter for coating the avocados. Set the batter aside.

Preheat the oven to 200 F. Prepare a deep fryer or pour 2 to 3 inches of oil into a deep cast iron or heavy pot that is at least 4 inches deep. Heat the oil to 360 F. Pour the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.

Use tongs to grab the avocado quarters and dunk them in the prepared batter. Shake off any excess and roll the avocados in

Voted BEST MExIcAn FooD in the Inland Empire! come see why!

the breadcrumbs to coat all sides.

Fry the avocados in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 1/2 minutes each. Do not overcrowd the pot, as this will lower the temperature of the oil significantly.

Transfer the cooked avocados to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Season with a sprinkling of salt and keep them in the oven until the entire batch is ready.

Assemble the tacos. Heat the barbecue sauce in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Warm the tortillas on a griddle or in the oven, if desired.

Place one avocado quarter on each of the tortillas. Top each avocado with the warm barbecue sauce, salsa, cheese and microgreens.

Serve immediately.

Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country’s women create their own heritage Visit Temecula Valley SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Wine Institute of California estimates that between 15-20 percent of California winemakers are women, which is an increase of 5-10 percent from the early 1990s.

According to the Gallup Poll’s Annual Consumption Habits Poll, 52 percent of women consumers say they drink wine more often than any other beverage compared to only 20 percent of men so it makes sense this historically male dominated field is becoming an appealing option for women. Temecula Valley Southern California Wine Country is no exception. Talented women like Olivia Bue, winemaker at Robert Renzoni Vineyards and Winery, Valerie Andrews owner of Temecula Hills Winery and Oak Mountain Winery and Cindy Palumbo owner of Palumbo Family Vineyards and Winery achieve success while raising families, giving back to the community, and inspiring other women in the industry.

Olivia Bue, winemaker for Robert Renzoni Vineyards and Winery, first got into wine through family. “I grew up in Encinitas, surrounded by a family who loved wine. Uncorking bottles was always in the equation at every family gathering; wine was our conduit to laughter and love.

Around the age of 16, a close family friend who had enrolled at the UC Davis School of Viticulture and Enology told me about the program and experience. The moment I received my acceptance letter I made an easy decision to pack my bags and head up to Davis,” says Bue. She is undaunted by the physical labor and long hours, motivated by those who doubted her or judged her because she is young and female.

Bue advises women interested in entering the winemaking field to taste wine as much a possible, discuss wines with others, take classes and be patient. “Winemaking is such an art,” says Bue. “Yes, there is a lot of heavy manual labor and endless hours during harvest, but taking the time to understand your region’s complexities is something that takes time and a love of the art.

Any gender can accomplish that!”

Bue is especially passionate about Temecula Valley wines. “The more wines I taste outside of Temecula Valley, the more confident and proud I become of our region’s path. We are going in such a strong direction forward and I continue to be impressed at the quality of wines being made in Temecula Valley.”

Valerie Andrews, co-owner and co-founder of Oak Mountain Winery and Temecula Hills Winery, got her start in Temecula back in 1999 when she and her husband, Steve, moved to a 10-acre ranch just on the edge of Temecula’s wine country. They built Temecula Hills Winery on the property, which opened in 2001, and then Oak Mountain Winery on a separate property which opened in 2005. The vines were hand-planted

by Valerie, Steve and their children in 2000. Now in her second decade of her wine career, Valerie is deeply loved by the community and consumers and admired and respected by her colleagues.

In addition to operating the wineries, Valerie’s community involvement runs deep. She balances her time running the day-to-day business operations at both wineries as well as serving on the board for the De Por-

tola Wine Trail and on the hospitality committee for the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association. Valerie also founded Cause Fur Paws, a nonprofit organization whose mission is assisting animals with diabetes and helping senior citizens with companion pets. Cause Fur Paws Inc., helps low income pet owners pay for 100 percent of their medical needs. Dog labeled wines and hand crafted cork tiaras can be found at Oak Mountain Winery with proceeds going to help local animals in need.

In addition, Oak Mountain is the site of numerous dog events and charity fundraisers throughout the year.

Co-owner of Palumbo Family Vineyards and Winery, Cindy Palumbo has been in the valley since 1994. She first started at Callaway and Hart wineries with Joe Hart and John Moramarco. Now co-owner of Palumbo Family Vineyards and Winery, a 13 acre, 2500-case-peryear winery, with her husband Nick Palumbo, Cindy is very active in all aspects of the business. They are committed to small-lot, handcrafted wines from varieties grown on the property. She has also been instrumental in implementing sustainable farming and has helped to create more than just a winery but a “whole farm approach” to their agricultural activities believing that a winery should first and foremost be considered an agricultural entity.

She is very active in the community and donates both time and money to local charities, including Big Hearts for Little Hearts of Temecula Valley, as well as the proceeds from her chil-

dren’s books, the Farm Boy Series.

The series is a collection of entertaining children’s books that teach about sustainable farming. In addition to working full time at the winery and authoring children’s books, Cindy has been deeply involved with teaching children to farm in a sustainable manner through a local 4-H program.

Whether by virtue of their family wine ties, passion or drive, Bue, Andrews, and Palumbo are producing some of the valley’s best wines all while serving as pillars of leadership in Temecula Valley’s wine and farming community. These women are paving the way for future women winemakers and winery owners in Temecula Valley.

Circus Vargas unveils original new production ‘Steam Cirque’ TEMECULA – Circus Vargas embarks on a new epic adventure under the big top. Debuting their innovative new production in the Inland Empire, Circus Vargas will begin their tour at the Promenade Temecula before making the move to Hesperia and finally on to Ontario. Performances between the three locations will run from March 16 through April 17.

Circus Vargas will be at Promenade Temecula from Thursday, March 16, through Monday, March 27. It will be in Hesperia on Bear Valley Road across from Victor Valley College from Thursday, March 30, through Monday, April 3. The

circus travels its final Inland Empire location at the Ontario Mills Mall to perform from Thursday, April 6, through Monday, April 17.

The show will feature goggles, gears and gadgets to set the stage for Circus Vargas’ retro-futuristic production for 2017 called “Steam Cirque.” The circus will make a journey of fantastic proportions and children of all ages will marvel at the wacky and wonderful cast of characters as they come alive in the exciting steam punk, science-fiction and fantasy-inspired circus odyssey.

Visitors are encouraged to arrive 45 minutes early for an entertaining, interactive pre-show celebration.

Children can create their own magic under the big top, learning circus skills such as juggling, balancing and more; they are also invited to meet and mingle with the entire cast after each performance.

The evening performance tells the story of an eccentric group of adventure seekers as they stumble upon a traveling circus in an imaginary Victorian city far, far away.

The peculiar protagonist of “Steam Cirque,” part magician and part inventor, attempts to industrialize the circus by incorporating his steampowered mechanical contraptions into the ordinary, typical circus rigging, filling the big top with new,

imaginative acrobatic apparatus for the artists to perform their acts.

Creative inspiration for the new performance came alive during a casual dinner between husband and wife team Nelson and Katya Quirog and their friends. While reminiscing about traveling, their many adventures and how quickly time had passed, Nelson remarked that he felt as if he’d been “Around the World in 80 Days!” referring to a novel from French author Jules Verne’s collection, “Voyages Extraordinaire.” That comment and the subsequent conversation that followed morphed into hours of storytelling.

“It’s been quite the journey,” Quirog said. “Sometimes we don’t even believe it ourselves.”

“Steam Cirque” is inspired by adventure, colored by imagination and brought to life by the amazing cast of Circus Vargas.

General admission tickets are $17-$27 for children and $27-$37 for adults. Reserved ringside seating is $47-$62 for children and $57-$72 for adults. For more information, visit www.circusvargas. com, call (877) 468-3861 or visit the box office at each location.

The theme for the gala is “A Night of Vintage Glamour” and will be a nod to the heyday of radio and television during the 1940s.

Vintage Hollywood-themed formal attire or cocktail attire is encouraged. The evening will highlight the college’s television

and radio programs that prepare students for work in today’s dynamic media.

The MSJC Foundation will honor the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians as Outstanding Community Member, John Cox as Outstanding Alumni, Jim Davis

as Outstanding Faculty Member, Martha Hall as Outstanding Staff Member and Bob Botts for Special Recognition during the event.

The gala is the Mt. San Jacinto College Foundation’s signature event to raise scholarship funds for

students and mini-grants to support college programs. Each year, the gala offers an evening of fun with an elegant meal, live music, dancing and a silent auction.

Mt. San Jacinto College announces Fine Arts Gallery exhibit: ‘Don’t Touch the Art; Let the Art Touch You’ SAN JACINTO – The Mt. San Jacinto College Fine Arts Gallery, 1499 N. State Street, is proud to announce its new exhibition “Don’t Touch the Art, Let the Art Touch You: Art on loan from the Knuth Collection and Art Book Study Library.” The exhibit will be on display Monday through Thursday, March 6, to April 13 at the San Jacinto Campus Art Gallery, Building 1400, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

John Knuth is the curator of the MSJC Fine Arts Gallery and has been collecting art and art books for the past 20 years. This show is a special opportunity to see diverse work by an international group of artists including Anders Brinch, Alexander Calder, Meg Courtney, Fritz Chesnut, Sarah Cromarty, Justin Hansch, Julian Hoeber, Cody

Hudson, Daniel Johnston, James Krone, Rachel Mason, Ryan McIntosh, Jeffry Mitchell, Ry Rocklen and Michael Smoler.

Visitors to the gallery are invited to page through the large collection of Knuth’s art books. These range from an Andy Warhol monograph, to a “catalogue raisonne” on John James Audubon, to one-of-a-kind Xeroxed punk zines. One of the paintings in the show depicts a comfortable arm chair placed within a verdant garden scene.

Lush plants and buds look ready to

flower and overgrow the sensible piece of furniture. This painting can be seen as a metaphor for the entire show, which encourages visitors to get comfortable, sitting at the art book study table and taking in the paintings and sculptures surrounding them. Like the plants in Courtney’s painting, the gallery hopes that the artwork in the space will bloom and grow around the viewer.

For more information, contact John Knuth at (951) 4873585 or jknuth@msjc.edu.

Temecula Sunrise Rotary sponsors 30th annual ‘Run Through the Vineyard’ TEMECULA – The Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club announces its 30th annual “Run through the Vineyard,” to be held Saturday, April 29, at the Maurice Car’rie Vineyard and Winery, which has hosted the run for many years.

Like the first vineyard run ever held in Southern California in 1987, the “Run through the Vineyard 2K, 5K and 10K” is run through the rolling hills and between the winery’s beautiful vineyards 6 miles east of Temecula, at 34225 Rancho California Road.

The event draws hundreds of runners for all classes from all over Southern California, from San Diego to Los Angeles and beyond. Because of the way the course is set up, it has gained a “must” reputation among many of the runners who love the wine country layout.

As Temecula Valley’s premier running event, the community is invited to run or walk this challenging course and enjoy Temecula’s scenic wine country.

Registration is open at www.temeculasunriserotary.com or www. active.com.

Proceeds from the race are used by the Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club to benefit eradication of polio in the world, for local vocational and academic scholarships, 3rd grade literacy programs at Vail and Temecula elementary schools, youth leadership camps, the Chaparral High School Interact service club and many other youth and community programs. The club also provides Safety Town for children ages 5 to 8 which will be held in June in Temecula.

“To date, more than $300,000 has been contributed back into our community from the proceeds of this event,” Temecula Sunrise Rotary President Johnny Roberts said.

Temecula Sunrise Rotary Club meets at 7:30 a.m. each Tuesday at Journey’s End at the Pechanga golf course. For more information about the race, Safety Town or Rotary membership, call (951) 698- 6116 or visit www.temeculasunriserotary.com.

Real Estate / Home & Garden Menifee awards ‘Broker of the Year’ MENIFEE – Menifee’s Office of Economic Development hosted their annual Broker’s Appreciation Luncheon Feb. 16 at the Menifee Lakes Country Club and honored

$470,000 in December and up 5.3 percent from $432,250 in January 2016.

“Southern California home sales were the highest for a January in four years, despite a spike in mortgage interest rates after the November election,” Andrew LePage, research analyst with CoreLogic, said. “Many of the homebuyers whose deals were recorded in January would have been out shopping in November and December during a rising-rate environment that might have spurred some to buy sooner than later. There was still a normal, sharp seasonal drop-off in sales between December 2016 and January 2017.

“That’s partly because some people prefer not to buy or sell during the holidays, which translates into a relatively low number of deals recorded in January and February.

Historically, those months are not good indicators of how the market will shape up during the rest of the year,” LePage said.

RIVERSIDE – The median price of a home in Riverside County jumped by 6.5 percent in January, compared with the same month a year earlier, while the number of homes sold rose by 4.1 percent, a real estate information service CoreLogic announced.

According to CoreLogic, the median price of a Riverside County home was $330,000 last month that is up from $310,000 in January 2016. A total of 2,596 homes were sold in the county, up from 2,494 during the same month the previous year.

A total of 15,422 new and resale houses and condos changed hands in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura, San Bernardino and Orange counties last month, according to CoreLogic. That total was down 24.6 percent from 20,458 in December but up 5.4 percent from 14,633 in January 2016.

The median price of a Southern California home was $455,000 in January, down 3.2 percent from

“Town Center Marketplace was 100 percent leased up before the project even hit the ground, and because of the city’s partnership, we were able to bring in a quality line-up for residents and visitors to enjoy,” Wheeler said. Quality tenants such as Buffalo Wild Wings, Aldi, Party City, Krispy Kreme, PetSmart, Pieology, Rubio’s, Nekter Juice and Crème de la Crème Café and Bakery are among the 25 tenants who are featured at the center.

Wheeler is a founding partner at Strategic Retail Advisors and has been in the industry over 37 years.

Wheeler has represented quality tenants such as Albertsons, Costco, Lowe’s, PetSmart, and many others, and he has also done ‘ground up leasing’ for 63 new shopping center projects.

Are business owners adequately insured for damage caused by California’s recent heavy rains?

Jeremiah Welch and William Bennett SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

For the first time in four years many areas of California are no longer in a drought. This result comes from a season of unusually heavy rainfall and strong winds not usually seen in the dry state. December

and January have been exceptionally wet months. This increased moisture has led to widespread water damage to many businesses largely resulting from building leaks. Business owners should be thinking about two things. One, is my business adequately insured?

And two, is my business getting

100 percent of what it is entitled to from the insurer?

Many people think that property insurance policies only cover damage caused by forces of nature.

However, that is only part of the coverage available. Most policies cover water damage resulting from faulty construction as well. If the

recent heavy rains have caused water damage to a business resulting from faulty construction, the policy will typically pay the insured and even pursue the contractor. This way the business owner doesn’t have to spend the time and money chasing the contractor personally.

Depending on the policy, there may be coverage not only for repair of physical damage, but also for such items as lost business income, carrying costs and debris removal.

Some policies cover increased costs associated with operating the business from an alternate location while the building is repaired.

When an insurance company receives a claim for water damage due to faulty construction, there are two scenarios that may occur. They reject the claim entirely, or they pay some, but not all of the damages submitted.

Often policies are extremely confusing and difficult to understand.

Many policyholders just accept the insurer’s decision to pay some but not all of the claim because they cannot figure out how their coverage works and do not know what else to do.

Insurance companies and their policies often use different terminology than what their customers are used to seeing. Frequently, the hurdle to having the company accept an insurance claim is that

the policyholder simply did not describe the loss the right way. For example, not all water is a “flood.”

A “flood” is a specific term used in insurance policies. Many policies exclude “flood” coverage, defined as surface waters, but they cover sewer or drain backup. Rain that enters a building before it gets to the ground is generally not considered “flood” damage. Being able to navigate this type of nuance can mean the difference between claim acceptance or not.

Many policies also have sublimits for different types of coverage. How the insurer classifies a particular loss according to these sub-limits can have a dramatic impact on how much of the loss gets paid. Understanding how to best present the claim in light of these sub-limits, rather than leaving it up to the insurer, can be critical.

It is also important to note that property insurance policies often have a short time frame in which to present a claim or challenge the insurer’s decision. Delay in seeking advice and assistance can result in losing rights.

Jeremiah Welch and William Bennett are attorneys who help insurance policyholders understand their policies and obtain the coverage they are entitled to receive.

They are located in the Temecula office of Saxe, Doernberger & Vita.
