Lake Elsinore approves Summerly bonds, hears from residents encouraging ‘no’ vote on Measure A Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Even though the Alberhill Villages Initiative was not on the agenda for the March 28, Lake Elsinore City Council meeting, several people spoke on the issue urging voters to cast a “no” vote on Measure A which will be decided in a special election May 2.

Karie Ruether with Castle & Cooke was just one a few speakers who took to the podium during the public comments portion of the meeting, urging voters to fail the initiative.

“I’m here tonight again to urge citizens to vote “no” on Measure A as the city voted unanimously to support the project, and Measure A is no longer needed,” Reuther said.

The Lake Elsinore Chamber of Commerce and Castle & Cooke are all encouraging a “no” vote on Measure A. Council also heard a plan

Hemet Police Chief Dave Brown, hoping to get more leads in the city’s open violent crime cases, gained the approval of the Hemet City Council to provide a reward of up to $10,000 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators.

The rewards would be given to the anonymous provider of the information through the longestablished Crime Stoppers Plus program. The rewards would only be issued with the consent of the council. The informants would remain anonymous even to the police through the program, Brown explained, during the March 28 regular Hemet council meeting.

Hemet Police Chief Dave Brown, speaks at a July 26, city council meeting. Brown recently asked the Hemet City Council to offer a reward for informants; the council agreed.

Supervisors approve general plan amendment initiation proceedings for Sun City parcel Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the initiation of proceedings for a general plan amendment to change the designation of a 39.09-acre Sun City parcel.

The supervisors’ 3-0 vote, with Marion Ashley absent and one vacant seat, allows KGK Riverside Properties to initiate proceedings to change the general plan foundation component from Rural to Community Development and to amend the land use designation from Rural

Residential to Medium Density Residential.

The approval of the initiation of general plan amendment proceedings does not approve the general plan amendment itself, and a rezone would also be necessary for the parcel north of Scott Road, south of Wickerd Road, and west of Leon Road. The current A-1-5 Light Agriculture zoning stipulates five-acre minimum lot sizes and the Rural Residential land use designation calls for one dwelling unit every 5 acres. Two to five dwelling units per acre are allowed on parcels with a Medium Density Residential land

use designation.

Several nearby properties have requested general plan amendments for densities similar to what KGK Riverside Properties desires, so that conditional compatibility resulted in an Aug. 25 recommendation by the county’s General Plan Advisory Committee to begin general plan amendment initiation proceedings.

The county’s Planning Commission also recommended the initiation of proceedings Nov. 2 while cautioning that any future development be sensitive to the surrounding community.

Kiwanis clubs serve their communities all year long; however, one day each year Kiwanis clubs around the world participate in a group day of service. The global effort consists of individual clubs and divisions performing local projects on the same day.

This year the Kiwanis Club of Temecula Valley, as part of Division 37 that include 19 clubs from Escondido to Oceanside to Temecula, participated in “Meals of Hope,” providing 28,000 prepackaged meals in support of local organizations that serve the community’s needy.

The organizations chosen to receive the donations were Jacob’s House; Oak Grove Center for Education, Treatment & the Arts; Southwest Boys and Girls Club; Veterans Supplemental Support Network and Rancho Damacitas.

“When families come to us, it’s usually an emergency situation,” Linda Mehia, executive director for Jacob’s House, said. “These meals will allow us to provide visiting families with a quick meal.”

Jacob’s House is a home of refuge for families with loved ones in hospitalized medical need.

“We chose these five organiza-

tions for their outstanding work in the Valley,” Gregory Kind, president of Kiwanis of Temecula Valley said. “Their work with children, homeless, needy families and veterans make Murrieta and Temecula a better place to live.”

The Southwest Boys & Girls Club in Murrieta serves 85 kids each day.

“For some kids, this is their only meal,” Unit Director Brandi Baezcolon said. “This will allow us to feed families that we otherwise couldn’t. Through our culinary arts program, we will teach the kids how to make the meals and then give them some to take home to prepare for their families.”

Kiwanis International has 650,000 members worldwide who donate 18.5 million volunteer hours. Division 37’s nineteen clubs had over 300 members participating in food distribution for this one day of service.

“These meals will allow us to help the families of at-risk children,” Mike Howland of Oak Grove Center said. Oak Grove is a nonprofit residential, educational and treatment center for children with psychological, emotional and behavioral problems and special needs.

“This is a great help in our efforts to fight hunger and hardship

and prevent suicides for homeless veterans,” Marc Person, a community social worker with VSSN, said. “It’s always nice to know that people care, and this is a great way to show that.”

The Kiwanis Club of Temecula Valley sponsors nine high school Key Clubs, the most of any club in the nation.

“Our Key Club kids are the ones who packed all these meals,” Kind said. The club provides high school scholarships and participates in and supports numerous events in the area. Recently, they painted over 8,800 linear feet of fencing at the Veterans Park in Temecula.

Michael McCracken, former city councilman for Temecula, was on hand to help with the distribution, “It’s amazing to see how Kiwanis is supporting the organizations that support the community,” McCracken said.

Metropolitan Water District authorizes Lake Mathews infrastructure rehabilitation projects distribution system, the final design to repair the forebay and outlet tower and the construction phase to repair the hydroelectric plant.

The Colorado River Aqueduct which was built in the late 1930s runs from Parker to Lake Mathews, so MWD’s supply from the Colorado River is distributed from Lake Mathews. Water stored in the Lake Mathews reservoir is withdrawn through the lake’s forebay and hydroelectric plant and is conveyed through MWD’s Upper Feeder to the F.E. Weymouth Water Treatment Plant in Laverne and through the Lower Feeder to the Robert B. Diemer Water Treatment Plant in Yorba Linda. Lake Mathews was also constructed in the 1930s as part

Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Metropolitan Water District of Southern California included the approval of three infrastructure rehabilitation projects at Lake Mathews during a March 14 board meeting.

One project will rehabilitate the electrical distribution system at Lake Mathews, a second project will repair the Lake Mathews forebay and the third project will repair portions of the hydroelectric plant’s concrete structure. The projects are intended to address the aging infrastructure of Lake Mathews and to maintain reliable deliveries into MWD’s Central Pool.

of the Colorado River Aqueduct project, and the original facilities included the main dam embankment, the initial outlet tower and the forebay with a separate outlet tower.

The California Division of Safety of Dams requires that the forebay and outlet tower remain operational at all times.

The lake volume was increased to its current capacity of 182,000 acre-feet in 1961 when the main dam embankment was raised and two dikes were constructed. The Lake Mathews Hydroelectric Plant adjacent to the forebay was constructed in 1980 and can generate up to 4.9 megawatts of power, which can provide annual revenues of up to $1.3 million. A second outlet tower for the lake was completed in 2004.

The electrical distribution system was constructed concurrently with the lake in the 1930s and includes a 2.4 kilovolt incoming electrical service, six power unit centers and underground and overhead distribution lines which supply power to the lake’s outlet towers and junction shaft, the hydroelectric plant, fire water pumps, the chlorination system, on-site administrative offices, the forebay outlet tower and fixed-cone discharge valves, utility buildings and maintenance and repair shops.

The system has been expanded or modified to accommodate increased electrical loads over the decades, but the architecture of the electrical system and its principal components were never updated. The system has deteriorated during its more than

75 years of service. The distribution panels’ circuit breakers, which protect circuits from damage caused by overloads or short-circuits, are obsolete, and the system has experienced multiple overloads. Most of the distribution panels are at full capacity, which does not allow for the addition of lighting, monitoring devices or other modern equipment.

Spare parts are no longer available for many of the system’s electrical components.

The planned upgrades include replacing the underground and overhead distribution lines, replacing the existing unit power centers, adding additional unit power centers where needed and integrating the new electrical system with MWD’s system-wide supervisory control and data acquisition system. The preliminary design phase activities will include confirming the present electrical loads and estimating future loads, conducting a condition assessment of the entire electrical system, evaluating the potential to convert the distribution voltage from 2.4 kilovolts to 4.16 kilovolts to match the standard voltage of modern equipment, testing for the potential presence of hazardous materials, preparing conceptual layout drawings, conducting a value engineering review of potential improvements, preparing environmental documentation and developing a construction cost estimate.

MWD staff will perform all preliminary design work. The MWD board appropriated $860,000 for the preliminary design phase which will cover $625,000 for preliminary design, $110,000 for field investigations, $75,000 for project management and $50,000 for contingency. The preliminary design phase has a May 2018 completion estimate.

The Lake Mathews forebay is a reinforced concrete reservoir with a capacity of 31 acre-feet. The outlet tower is a rectangular concrete structure 60 feet in height with steel walkways and a steel control building at the top of the tower. Fixed-cone valves control the release of water into the lake, although that valve action produces moist conditions above the forebay’s water surface which creates a corrosive environment and has gradually damaged the concrete, reinforcing steel, steel walkways, control room and forebay lining.

Although the structural integrity of those facilities is currently sound, the extent of deterioration has increased over the past decade, and repairs will be required to ensure reliable deliveries into the Central Pool.

The planned repairs to the forebay include removing the spalled and damaged concrete down to sound concrete, replacing severely corroded reinforcing steel, repairing less corroded reinforcing steel by

sandblasting and applying a corrosion inhibitor, installing a cathodic protection system on the forebay tower, replacing damaged concrete on the tower and in the forebay and replacing the steel walkways and control building of the forebay’s outlet tower. The final design phase will include preparing drawings and specifications, developing a construction cost estimate and soliciting and receiving competitive bids.

MWD staff will perform the final design for the repairs of the forebay lining and the replacement of the steel walkways and control building.

HDR Engineering along with six subconsultants will perform the final design of the forebay tower repairs and cathodic protection system.

The scope of the HDR work includes preparing drawings and specifications for that portion of the project and developing a cost estimate. The anticipated cost for the HDR services is $125,000. The overall final design cost is estimated to be $313,300, and the $430,000 MWD appropriation also covers $67,000 for bidding and project management and $50,000 for contingencies. The final design tasks have an August 2017 estimated completion. The preliminary estimated cost of the actual construction is between $2.5 million and $3 million.

Chlorine was added to the hydroelectric plant turbine’s cooling water to prevent algae growth, but exposure to that chlorine caused spalled and cracked concrete and corroded reinforcing steel. The chlorine injection system was replaced with a cooling water system which used potable water in 2008.

The planned repairs include removing the damaged concrete down to sound concrete, replacing severely corroded reinforcing steel, repairing less corroded reinforcing steel by sandblasting and applying a corrosion inhibitor and installing a cathodic protection system.

Bids to repair the structure were advertised Nov. 8 and opened Jan. 25. The six bids ranged from $207,800 to $297,000 and were all below the engineer’s estimate of $340,000. O’Connell Engineering, which is based in Winchester, had the low bid at $207,800, and a review of the bid deemed the company to be in compliance with the requirements of the specifications. The $360,000 appropriated also includes $32,000 for construction inspection which will be performed by MWD staff, $54,000 for project management and preparation of record drawings, $20,000 for review of submittals and responding to contractor or subcontractor requests for information and $46,200 for contingency. The construction is expected to be complete

by February 2018.

TVUSD Teachers notified of layoff risk Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As of March 15, all TVUSD employees at risk of being relocated or laid off were notified. The district sent out 21 layoff notices down from a projected 54.6, according to Public Information Officer Laura Boss.

“We were able to achieve the 54.6 reductions in particular kinds of services by revisions to assignments and moving staff around,” Boss said.

Such reductions were due to bumping and criteria. The reduction in particular kinds of services are back filled by people with seniority and meeting other criteria moving around, so the end result was 21 layoffs. Some certificated employees were bumped back into other positions to make the reductions. Various changes in assignments occurred and may still occur depending on attrition and retirements, as the district is taking efforts to reduce the total number of layoffs. The District remains hopeful in reducing the 21 layoff notices further through retirements and other means of attrition.

At the School Board Meeting on March 7, the board motioned items on a PKS resolution. All items were approved including reducing the 3 Library Media Technicians to 1 districtwide librarian. Public commenter Donna Chamberlain expressed her concerns, “there is a direct correlation between reading scores and the presence of LMTs.” She raises the possibility of job sharing between high schools as an alternative to reducing the position. The issue remains that there

will not be a site librarian at each high school.

Other affected employees include high school Special Day Class employees, K-5 Literacy Specialists and T-K Resource Specialists.

According to Temecula Valley Educators Association President Jeff Kingsberg, “It appears the layoffs are split fairly evenly between elementary assignments and secondary assignments. Areas hit in particular are middle school math teachers at the secondary level, and LCAP personnel at the elementary level.”

Middle school language arts and math teachers are affected as well as 9-12th grade English, math and social science teachers. However, the primary employees affected on the Particular Kinds of Service reductions are the district’s specialists.

Operating under different legal notification timelines, there are no set number of classified employee layoffs at this time. Other personnel reductions in both classified and management that may be made are still in review. However, according to Boss, the District eliminated one director level management position and are reorganizing the associated department.

At this time no new negotiation items have been received, but both parties remain hopeful that discussions will resume regarding possible furlough/buy back days, limiting weekly elementary mandated Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings and staff meetings. TVEA asks for two rather than four weeks each month of PLC and one rather than two staff meetings per month. There would have been no monetary cost to the district.

SUMMERLY from page A-1 regarding the formation of improvement areas in the Summerly area of Lake Elsinore and the authorization of special bonds and indebtedness for $12.7 million in the improvement areas.

The move was brought about as the needs from the developer of Summerly had changed according to Brian Milich, a vice president and senior project manager of Pacific Ventures Management, which is handling the Summerly development.

Documentation supporting the measure shows that the $12.7 million would be used for the purchase, construction, expansion, improvement or rehabilitation of public improvements and the incidental expenses to be incurred in financing the facilities and forming and administering the district.

According to Milich the new improvement areas were to replace ones that the development has changed causing a reduction in the home prices in Summerly.

Milich asked for the council to adopt resolutions forming the new improvement areas and terminate the existing improvement areas which he said were no longer in the developer’s plans.

Milich also asked for an election since there were no registered voters for the area. Due to this fact, he said, the election would be a landowner election and that all landowners had provided ballots and waivers which were all filed with the city clerk. He also asked for the council to certify the election should they choose to move forward with it.

No residents spoke out during the public hearing so the council, which had no questions or discussion on the plan, quickly closed the public hearing and quickly passed the resolutions and held an election on the matter. Each ballot proposition was approved by more than two-thirds of the vote so the city certified the election.

In other news, Kaden Quintana, the Lakeside High School girls’ basketball team and the Temescal Canyon High School boys’ basketball team were all recognized by the council for their recent achievements. Mayor Bob Magee awarded a certificate of appreciation to Quintana, a sophomore at Temescal Canyon High School, for achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. Quintana also received certificates of appreciation from Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez.

Councilman Daryl Hickman presented both the Lakeside High School girls’ basketball team and the Temescal Canyon High School boys’ basketball team with the Mayor’s Trophy for their role as city basketball champions.

“If you haven’t been to a high school football or basketball game, make time. You would really enjoy it,” Hickman said.

Dignitaries cut a ribbon signifying the official completion of the Newport Road interchange project in Menifee.

School pinwheel project signals April Child Abuse Prevention Month Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and Hemet and Winchester women’s club members have been working with Diamond Valley Middle School and Winchester Elementary School students on a project to educate children and their parents about child abuse.

The project, called “Pinwheels for Prevention,” began March 21 with members of the Hemet Women’s Club. Diamond Valley Principal Robert Dominquez and Women’s Club members gave the students a presentation, and helped them construct colorful pinwheels as a symbol and a reminder of the happy childhood that we all want for children. It is the third year for the project.

A DVMS school spokesperson said the pinwheels have been carefully boxed up and will be placed in a Pinwheel Garden in May during the school’s Spring Fling event.

The Winchester Women’s Club met with the Winchester Elementary School Principal Mark Delano Tuesday, March 28, and worked with the transitional kindergarten students on the pinwheels that will be similarly put on display.

The women’s clubs, in forwarding this project, sincerely believe in doing what they can to educate people and make them aware of child abuse and what it does to children. The Prevent Child Abuse website is an excellent resource and is now offering a “Parenting Tip of the Week” that the clubs believe can be a valuable tool for all parents.

See www.preventchildabuse.org/ reso.../pinwheels-for-prevention/.

Prevent Child Abuse is a sponsor of the “Pinwheels for Prevention” program. In 2008, they introduced the pinwheel as the new national symbol for child abuse prevention.

The pinwheel connotes whimsy and childlike notions to remind everyone of the great childhoods we want for all children.

The Prevent Child Abuse program notes the responsibility of all parents to help children have an equal opportunity for healthy growth and development and to make sure they are raised in a supportive and stable environment and to become academically and financially successful. The Hemet and Winchester women’s clubs have sponsored the Pinwheels for Prevention program in the Hemet Unified School District for the past three years.

Office Manager Gayle Mondt at Winchester Elementary School holds some of the pinwheels the transitional kindergarten students made at their school March 28 with the help of the Winchester Women’s Club. The pinwheels signify a happy childhood that all children should enjoy and in honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

They would only know the informant by a code number.

Brown said he hoped the reward will provide some new leads for the homicides now under investigation

by Hemet police detectives.

“We believe offering the financial incentive and guaranteeing anonymity we will get better tips,” Brown said.

Families of two homicide victims, Daniel Ramirez and Marine veteran Nick Males, attended the city council meeting, encouraging the council to approve the reward plan and speed up the process of adding more police detectives to the Hemet Police Department with the Measure U public safety sales tax funds. The Measure U one-cent sales tax measure passed by voters in November 2016 to bolster the city’s public safety departments as of April 1, is being collected from local merchandise purchases.

The tax money will not be returned immediately to the city by the State Board of Equalization who collects the money for the city until June when yearly city budgets are being established.

“That’s just not fast enough,” one Ramirez family member said in public comment.

Meanwhile, the city council has provided the police and fire departments with almost $2 million from the General Fund, resulting in the early hiring of new police officers and firefighter paramedics. The forwarded money will be repaid to the General Fund by the collected Measure U sales tax monies.

Brown told the council that the department has been successful in securing several law enforcement grants that will provide money for the purchase of a new crime scene investigation vehicle and a fully equipped Joint Crisis Response Team vehicle that will be used in conjunction with the Riverside University Health System’s Department of Behavioral Health.

Brown told the council the purchase of the crime scene investigation vehicle which costs of $102,595 will be covered by the Supplemental Law Enforcement Services Grant fund and utilized through a federal government general services administration contract. The new vehicle replaces the department’s 17-yearold Ford vehicle and crime scene unit that is completely out of date.

He said another good thing came

with the purchase, in addition to the most up-to-day crime scene investigation tools and equipment, there is a “40-hour course for two crime scene investigators to learn the equipment and evidence collection methods.”

In his report, Brown said, “This project supports the city council’s stated goals to improve public safety and quality of life in the city of Hemet. This vehicle will enhance the department’s investigative capabilities and improve solvability, especially in the investigation of violent crime. Additionally, the purchase and implementation of this mobile unit addresses the Police Department’s strategic initiatives to reduce crime and the fear of crime, to inspire staff and engage in smart policing.”

The council in a 4-0 vote in the absence of Councilman Russ Brown, also accepted Chief Brown’s recommendation to purchase a patrol vehicle, uniforms and safety equipment for use by a Crisis Response Team that would respond to victims, suspects and others affected or threatened by crime or mental health issues.

The Crisis Response Team will be in partnership with the Riverside University Health System’s Department of Behavioral Health.

“This will not be a police vehicle,” Chief Brown explained.

He noted the department has been in discussions with the university’s Department of Health for the past 18 months before the request for the Crisis Team was made. His report explained, “Key components of the discussions have been the high volume of mental health-related calls and subsequent mental health detentions and commitments in the city of Hemet over the past several years.

“Research and practical experience clearly indicate that early intervention by a behavioral health professional can result in a more positive outcome. Early field intervention results in better, more appropriate care and disposition for the person in crisis, as-well-as family, friends and the community at large.

There are two important populations in the city being underserved currently: homeless and youth. This team will have the ability to focus on those high-risk populations.”

The $69,197.58 cost of the vehicle will be recovered by the city from a law enforcement grant earlier accepted by the city council from the California board of state and community corrections.

Partnership brings new mentoring program, ‘Force of Four’ RIVERSIDE – The Riverside County district attorney’s office is partnering with California Family Life Center’s Empower Youth program to provide a new and unique mentoring opportunity for young people called “Force of Four.”

Four young adults from CFLC’s job training and education program will explore career avenues with four different career mentors for four Saturdays over four months, going on four different adventures. Force of Four is the creation of deputy district attorneys Vanessa Romero and Sharon Shuster, under the supervision of Supervising Deputy District Attorney Gerry Lopez. All three are part of District Attorney Mike Hestrin’s innovative Crime Prevention Unit.

“Our partnership with the Riverside County district attorney’s office and their creation of Force of Four

represents the importance of community involvement in the success of our youth,” Angela Sessler, CFLC development and life coach coordinator, said. “Force of Four has been a wonderful blessing to the youth in our program who have been struggling to find ways to explore career options and have a connection with successful mentors who are invested and supportive on their journey of exploration. The mentorship program provides hope and guidance for a future these youth may have not considered otherwise. We are beyond thankful for this program and look forward to its continued development.”

Force of Four has started at the Hemet Youth Opportunity Center and will later expand to serve four more young adults at each of CFLC’s other locations in Lake Elsinore

and Rubidoux. The program, which kicked off earlier this month, will give these young people the opportunity to connect with successful people who will share with them the importance of hard work and encouraging their self-esteem, while exposing them to opportunities and adventures they may not otherwise have.

The first outing consisted of a trip to Hollywood where the four young women first explored the movie industry by getting a tour of Blumhouse Productions, producers of the movies “Get Out,” “Insidious” and “The Purge.” Christopher Landon, writer and director of the “Paranormal Activity” movie franchise, gave the tour. Also, he gave them a private screening of his new movie, “Half to Death,” which is in post-production.

General plan amendment initiation proceedings approved for Rainbow Canyon parcel Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Riverside County board of supervisors approved the initiation of general plan amendment proceedings for a 36.70-acre Rainbow Canyon parcel.

The supervisors’ 3-0 vote March 21, with Marion Ashley absent and one vacant seat, allows the initiation of proceedings to change the general plan foundation component from rural to community development and

the land use designation from rural mountainous to light industrial.

The parcel is west of Sparta Lane, east of Rainbow Canyon Road and south of the Temecula city limits. It currently has both rural residential and manufacturing – service commercial zoning. The site is currently being used as a storage yard for an on-site contractor.

The proposed general plan amendment would bring the zoning, the existing use and the land use designation into conformance

with each other, and the initiation of the general plan amendment thus received a positive recommendation both from the county’s General Plan Advisory Committee at an Aug. 25 hearing and from the county’s planning commission Nov. 2. During the general plan amendment proceedings, an environmental analysis, as well as a land use review, will be conducted, and a public hearing will also precede any decision on the actual general plan amendment.

Hemet City Council approves resident committee assignments

APRIL 2017 EVENTS

HEMET – The Hemet City Council appointed nine residents to important commissions and committees during their March 28 regular city council meeting.

City council members are allowed to nominate local citizens for commissions and committees that help give community input into citywide programs and planning.

Vincent Overmeyer was re-appointed to the Hemet Planning Commission with the council’s approval

to fill a two-year term expiration by Councilman Russ Brown, who was absent from the March 28 meeting due to a family emergency. He also re-appointed Rick Jackson to the park commission to fill a term expiration that expires April 1, 2019, and Steve Covington to the traffic and parking commission for a two-year term.

Councilwoman Bonnie Wright recommended Tiffany Smith to the planning commission, re-appointed Farrah Fowler to the traffic and parking

commission and appointed Michael Darrow to the park commission all for two-year terms. The appointments were confirmed by the council.

Mayor Pro Tem Michael Perciful re-appointed John Gifford to the planning commission, re-appointed Donald Funkhouser to the traffic and parking commission and re-appointed Ed Burden to the park commission.

His three nominees were approved for two-year terms by the council’s 4-0 vote.

invaluable program that provides young women the opportunity to see there is no limit to their potential,” Landon said. “I was so inspired to see such a caring and intelligent approach to community outreach.”

After meeting with Landon, the young women explored the makeup industry, having lunch with celebrity makeup artist Julianne Kaye, who has worked with Britney Spears, Kate Hudson and Selena Gomez, among others. They also received a makeup tutorial at MAC Pro on

Melrose Avenue and were given gift bags filled with makeup by MAC. CFLC has been serving youth in Southern California since 1983, providing safety, comfort and healing to children suffering abuse and abandonment; teaching love and trust; instilling self-esteem, values and hope for the future and in doing so, assisting children trapped in hopelessness and despair become compassionate, contributing members of the community.

Local competitor is one Tough Mudder among celebrities JP Raineri SPORTS@REDEERMEDIA.COM

Founded in 2010 with the launch of the Tough Mudder Full event series, which consists of 10-12 mile obstacle courses, Tough Mudder Inc. has since grown to become a leading active lifestyle company and Glenn Racz, 37, of Temecula, recently took on their most recent challenge with great success. Along with a multitude of celebrities and approximately 450 athletes from more than 30 states and four counties, Racz braved steeped terrain, extreme temperatures and nearly 25 obstacles in a five mileloop circuit from midnight to 8 a.m. Sunday, March 26.

Glenn completed 45 miles (9 laps around the circuit) in the 8 hour race, which was the first “Toughest Mudder” endurance event for the Temecula resident. With his win, Glenn not only pocketed $1,000, he also qualified for the Contender Category at “World’s Toughest Mudder,” a 24-hour endurance event and culmination of the Tough Mudder event season in November in Las Vegas. Racz will also be featured on CBS Sports, which will give an inw w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

depth look at the newest event series.

Giacomo Gianniotti of the TV series “Grey’s Anatomy” and History Channel’s drama series “SIX,” raised more than $30,000 for charity and the weekend also saw husband and wife professional endurance athletes Ryan Atkins and Lindsay Webster win the Men’s and Women’s categories at Glen Helen Raceway.

Other notable participants featured in the fourth annual Tough Mudder Los Angeles included YouTube star and The Amazing Race 28 winner Matt Steffanina and Olympians Jade Jones (2016 Gold Medalist) Ashley McKenzie, Perri Shakes-Drayton, Anthony Fowler and Jessica Varnich.

The Temecula Valley Unified School District changed what they have done in the previous years in regard to what was formerly known as their Powderbuff Volleyball games for male high school students and went with Dodgeball this year. The idea was collectively made up by school leadership students from Temecula High Schools.

Participating school’s included Great Oak, Temecula Valley and Chaparral.

The event was held at Temecula Valley High School in the gym as eight total groups from the three schools took part. The ASB stu-

dents took on the task of setting up the gym and providing proper equipment/referees to allow the boys to play and according to members of the school staff, did a phenomenal job. The event was very competitive with Great Oak’s “Disco Daddies bringing home the championship win. From the look of it, this will be a very successful event in the future.

“Disco Daddies” consisted of seniors Jayson Palmer, Nathan Lowrey, Jake Gambino, Drew Morri, Zeryck Russon, Bryce Tenney, Josh Brennan, Skylar Geddie, Trevor McCutchen and Wesley Bowe, all from various Great Oak athletic teams.

Catfish bite continues to be good. Reports are coming in from all around the lake of catfish being caught from shore and from boaters. Fish are averaging 4-8 pounds, with mackerel still being the hot bait. No sign of the infamous crappie as of yet, but it’s still quite early in the season for slabs to go on the chew. Bass action is fair for those anglers that are willing to put in the time to beat the shoreline chucking a spinner bait, however;

bass fishermen in boats have had the most success. Carp bite is also good for those using dough baits.

Whiskers beach has been the hot spot for the carp bite. Tight lines until next week.

Next stocking will be at the end of April, just in time for the 2017 Dream Extreme Fishing Derby. Get on out and join the fun. For more information contact Williams Bait, Tackle and Boat Rentals by calling (951) 642-0640.

Local car enthusiast shows well at Goodguys Del Mar Nationals Tim Deegan SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A Murrieta resident for 30 years, Bud Reid who recently moved to Fallbrook, proudly showed his 1964 Chevrolet El Camino at the Goodguys Del Mar Nationals last weekend.

“That event is probably the largest in Southern California if not the whole state” he says.

Bud said his entry is the result of a 25-year dream and with the help of friend Shawn Parker of Wildomar it came out perfect after a four year “build.” Reid said that although it’s stock from an outside appearance it has a modern drive train and a small block Chevy engine putting out over 500 horsepower. The engine and drive train work was done by Parker at his shop.

Commenting on the “build,” Reid tells his story, “If I was to do a car I’d want to do an El Camino and I’d

do a ‘64 since it was the first year they came out. I think the Chevelle body style was wonderful and with an El Camino bed it was really classic. But finding one is difficult because there aren’t many left, this was an original Wildomar car with only one previous owner and it came from the factory with power steering, power brakes and power windows along with air conditioning which very few had as original equipment. It was a ‘good bones’ car to start with and it came out laser straight after the restoration.”

With only 40 miles on it after finishing just two weeks before the show Reid says they trailered it to the event to avoid driving it in traffic.

Asked about the biggest thrill of it all his response was: “It will be passed down to my son and grandson. It’s in the Will and Family Trust that way.”

Babbitt wins heat race in Demo Cross season opener Joe Naiman SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

This year’s first Demo Cross racing at Perris Auto Speedway was March 18, with Murrieta driver Randy Babbitt winning his heat.

Babbitt, who drove a 2002 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor, began the night’s first Demo Cross heat race on the pole and took the initial lead. He remained ahead of the competition for the entire sixlap race. Kyle Cox finished second in that race.

“It was awesome. It was nice to be able to start in front and stay ahead,” Babbitt said. “The car ran really well.”

Babbitt began the 20-lap main event on the inside of the fourth row. He was in sixth place after one lap and had moved into second

place by the end of the second lap, but Demo Cross includes obstacles placed on the track and during the third lap Babbitt hit a boat between turns one and two. The contact tore off the car’s radiator hose, and Babbitt took his car into the infield during the 13th lap to avoid further damage.

Babbitt’s crew consisted of Mike Costello, Mike Taylor, Christine Walters and Danny Walters. The race was the third for the Crown Victoria; Danny Walters drove the car once and Babbitt drove in the April 30, 2016, Demo Cross race.

Babbitt, who has lived in Murrieta for the past 23 years, had previously participated in off-road racing.

“I thought it would be fun to get back into some type of racecar,” Babbitt said.

Red Cross calls for type O negative and AB blood donors TEMECULA – The American Red Cross is issuing a call for type O negative and AB blood donors to make an appointment to give blood after severe winter weather in some parts of the country caused about 250 Red Cross blood drives to be canceled in March, resulting in more than 8,500 uncollected blood donations.

Type O negative blood and type AB plasma are two of the most in-demand blood products by hospitals. Those who give can help patients locally or across the country as the Red Cross has the ability to move blood products where and when they are needed most.

“All blood types are needed to meet the constant need of patients, and there is a significant need now for type O negative and AB donations to help some of the most vulnerable patients,” Christine Welch, external communications manager for California Red Cross

Blood Services, said. “We ask that you schedule an appointment to roll up a sleeve to help save a life in the coming days.”

Donations help patients like Brady Prosser. He was severely burned in October while mowing near burning leaves. He received regular – sometimes daily – blood and plasma transfusions during his hospitalization.

Type O negative blood can be transfused to patients with any blood type and is often needed in emergency situations when there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type. While less than 7 percent of the U.S. population has type O negative blood, hospitals depend on frequent O negative donations to ensure it’s always available for patients in need. Type O negative blood donors are an important part of the Red Cross trauma team.

Type AB is the universal plasma type and can be transfused to

patients of any blood type in an emergency. Plasma helps maintain blood pressure and supplies critical proteins for clotting and immunity.

Plasma can be donated through a blood donation.

Eligible donors can learn more, find a donation opportunity and schedule an appointment by using the free Blood Donor app, visiting www.redcrossblood.org or calling (800) 733-2767. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states or age16 with parental consent where allowed by state law, weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

date of the event that led to the complaint.

You must be notified of the decision generally no later than 30 days after the plan gets the complaint.

If your complaint relates to a plan’s refusal to make a fast coverage determination or redetermination and you haven’t purchased or gotten the drug, the plan must give you a decision no later than 24 hours after it gets the complaint.

In addition, you can make a complaint if you have a concern about the quality of care or other services you get from a Medicare provider.

This includes doctors, hospitals or other medical providers; your dialysis or kidney transplant care; or a Medicare-certified supplier of durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers and oxygen equipment.

How you file a complaint depends on what your complaint is about. For more information, go to www.medicare.gov/claimsand-appeals/file-a-complaint/complaint.html.

As a Medicare beneficiary, you also have certain appeal rights.

What’s the difference between a complaint and an appeal?

A complaint is generally about the quality of care you got or are getting. For example, you may file a complaint if you have a problem contacting your plan or if you’re unhappy with how a staff person at the plan treated you. However, if you have an issue with a plan’s refusal to pay for a service, supply or prescription, you file an appeal.

For more information on appeals, take a look at your “Medicare & You” handbook, mailed each fall to every Medicare household in the country.

To learn more, visit www.medicare.gov/claims-and-appeals/filean-appeal/appeals.html.

Greg Dill is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Pacific Territories. You can always get answers to your Medicare questions by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

Having practiced pharmacy for many years, I often find myself talking to people about their Medicare prescription drug, or Part D, plans.

People with Part D usually share their thoughts about a favorite pharmacy or pharmacist or how their plan offers medicines at affordable prices. Sometimes they report problems with a Part D plan, ranging from the cost of drugs to difficulty in getting a specific medication their doctor prescribed.

A first step to correcting problems is always to contact your drug plan (contact information is on the back of your drug card). A call to the plan usually will resolve your issue. If that doesn’t work, you can file a complaint.

You can do that by calling (800) MEDICARE or going online at www.medicare.gov. Complaints can be made against Part D drug plans as well as Part C health plans, also known as Medicare Advantage plans.

The online Medicare Complaint Form is easy to use. Medicare takes the information you send and directs it to your plan. Then we follow up and monitor how well the plan resolves your complaint.

To find the complaint form, go to www.medicare.gov and locate the blue box near the top of the page that reads “Claims & Appeals.”

Place your cursor over that box until a dropdown menu appears and click on “file a complaint.” When the next page comes up, click on “Your health or drug plan.”

You can also lodge a complaint by calling or writing to your plan.

Your complaint could involve a problem with customer service, difficulty in getting access to a specialist, being given the wrong drug, or being given drugs that interact in a negative way.

If you file a complaint about your Part D drug plan, certain requirements apply: Yo u m u s t fi l e y o u r c o m plaint within 60 days from the

How to stop the spread of tuberculosis Jose A. Alvarez SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A third of the world’s population is infected with tuberculosis. That number includes people in San Diego and Riverside counties.

M a r c h 2 4 w a s Wo r l d T B Day, and the County Health and Human Services Agency is reminding residents of two things: if you’ve been exposed to someone with TB, get tested now, and if you’ve been diagnosed with latent

or inactive TB, get treatment now.

“Tuberculosis is preventable and curable, but many people across the United States suffer from the disease,” Dr. Wilma Wooten, a San Diego county public health officer, said. “If you’ve been exposed to someone with TB, talk to your doctor or health clinic and request a TB blood test. That is the best way to know if you have been exposed to TB.” TB is a bacterial infection that can spread through the lymph

Pregnant women, women who could become pregnant and couples considering pregnancy are advised to avoid traveling to areas with known Zika transmission, after a baby with the severe birth defect microcephaly was born in San Diego County.

The county of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency reports the mother was infected with the Zika virus while traveling in a foreign country where the virus is common.

“Pregnant women who must travel to one of these areas should strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites and speak with a health care provider upon return,” Dr. Wilma Wooten, a county public health officer, said.

This infant is the first reported case born in San Diego County with microcephaly associated with Zika virus. Microcephaly is a condition with multiple causes where a baby’s head and brain are smaller than normal. Children born with this condition frequently have other developmental and neurological health problems as well. Details about the case are not being released due to privacy concerns.

As of March 24, HHSA has confirmed 87 travel-associated cases of Zika infection among San Diego County residents. This information is updated every Friday on the HHSA Zika website. No local mosquito-transmitted cases of Zika have occurred in California, though limited local transmission has occurred in Florida and Texas.

Four out of five people with Zika infection have no symptoms.

People with symptoms report having fever, rash, joint pain and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild with symptoms lasting for several days to a week after being bitten by an infected mosquito.

There is currently no vaccine or treatment for Zika other than rest and supportive care such as fluids and fever relief.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a list of countries and territories with known Zika transmission at wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/zikatravel-information. People visiting these areas should take steps to avoid mosquito bites: Use insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535, oil of lemon eucalyptus or para-menthane-diol for long-lasting protection while traveling and for one week after returning home. If using sunscreen and insect repellent, apply sunscreen first and then apply the repellent. Pregnant women and women who are breast-feeding should use an Environmental Protection Agency-registered insect repellent according to the product label. Do not use insect repellent on infants less than two months of age.

Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.

Use air conditioning and keep windows closed if possible. If windows and doors are open, make sure screens are in good condition with no holes or tears. If mosquitoes can come indoors, people should sleep under a bed net.

Reduce the number of mosquitoes outside by emptying standing

water from containers, such as flowerpots and buckets.

Zika virus can be transmitted through sexual activity as well as by mosquito bites. Couples planning pregnancy should speak with a health care provider about a safe length of time to wait before trying to get pregnant.

HHSA advises anyone who develops symptoms of Zika infection after travel to seek medical care.

To learn more about Zika virus, CDC websites has useful information: www.cdc.gov/zika/index. html. The county of San Diego Vector Control Program also has useful information about protection against mosquitoes at www. sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/ deh/pests/wnv.html.

We all face problems that crop up again and again. Most of us have probably yelled, “How many times have I told you?” and yet the behavior that drives us crazy continues to occur.

The reason for our frustration may be that we talk when we really ought to be acting. You’ve heard the expression, “Actions speak louder than words,” and in our personal relationships that often can be true.

For example, perhaps there’s a toddler in your house who thinks dinner time is a perfect time to play with his food rather than eat it, no matter how many times you reprimand him. Instead of constantly repeating that command to eat, try smiling at him, removing his plate and saying calmly, “I see you’re done with your dinner.”

Will he protest? Most likely. And

their lifetimes.

“People who are diagnosed with latent TB could develop the disease and infect others,” Wooten said.

“You can take antibiotics for three or four months that can reduce your chances of becoming contagious.”

probably loudly. But the act of having his dinner disappear, along with your explanation of why, is likely to be more effective than simply ordering him to eat.

A similar situation might be if you have a spouse who tends to drink too much at social events. You find it embarrassing and have expressed your displeasure numerous times, all to no avail. Next time, instead of more complaining, simply take action by picking up the car keys, handing them 10 dollars for that cab ride home, walking out to your car and driving home.

There are numerous situations, from dealing with a parent who calls daily in order to criticize you, to a teen who refuses to heed family curfew hours, when arguing with the person doesn’t result in a change in behavior but probably does give you a headache.

Instead of more arguing, take action. Inform your mother that if she

criticizes you again you’re going to hang up. Then follow through and do it, if she can’t stop herself.

See how your teen reacts if instead of arguing with them, you simply inform them of your planned action – such as withholding an allowance or cutting off their cellphone – carry it out, and make it clear they brought the action on themselves.

It’s important to take action with a positive, calm attitude. Yes, there will be protests. Yes, you will want to explain calmly what is happening and why, but the bottom line is that actions are much harder to ignore than simple words.

There are an estimated 170,000 San Diegans with latent or inactive TB. When someone is diagnosed with latent TB, it means the person may already have the germ in their body but the bacteria are dormant.

In other words, the person is not contagious yet. Latent TB does not have symptoms and is not yet infectious, but without treatment, five to 10 percent of people infected with latent TB will develop active TB in

The Tax Lady has suggestions to help mitigate 2016 tax liability Karyn Vaughn, E.A. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

roactively. The limits on individual retirement accounts are $5,500 or $6,500 for people over age 50. A SEP is for businesses and has a much higher limit than individual retirement account, up to 25 percent of compensation to a maximum of $54,000. This contribution can take a very large chunk out of that tax liability for self-employed workers.

Next, consider if there were any additional deductions found after completing the return. These deductions can still be claimed. One thing I always suggest to clients who find themselves with a balance due is to go back and see what they may have missed. Take another look at business, medical and charity mileage to be sure everything has been captured. Recalculate non-cash chari-

The tax deadline for 2016 returns is fast approaching. Maybe the year’s returns are prepared already and there’s an unexpected balance due, or maybe the returns are incomplete and hiding in a drawer in the office just waiting until the last minute because there might be an unwanted balance due. In either case, there might be options to wrestle with those taxes.

One option would be to contribute to an Individual Retirement Account or Simplified Employee Pension and take the deduction on the 2016 return. Deposits made before the filing date April 18 and designated as 2016 contributions, can be deducted ret-

table donations to be sure the value was not under-estimated. Check out www.salvationarmysouth.org/ valueguide-htm; the website lists how much can be deducted for various donations.

If tax-reduction options are exhausted and there is still a balance due, there are options for payment.

IRS accepts credit cards. There is about a 2 percent fee for this service, but it can still be a welcome option for some taxpayers. Also, apply for an installment agreement with IRS. Most taxpayers qualify for an automatic approval to make payments over 72 months. There is an application fee and interest, and IRS will keep any future refunds to apply to the balance. For either of these options, go to www.IRS.gov

and search for the desired option or use the IRS2Go mobile app.

Contrary to popular belief, filing an extension does not extend the time to pay required taxes. When applying for an extension of time to file returns, the tax payer must estimate and pay the tax due with the extension.

If a tax payer has already filed and wants to take advantage of the above options, it is not too late. They can file an amended return to make the appropriate changes and pay the corrected balance due. If they have already e-filed and chosen payment by direct debit, the original balance will still come out, but they will get a refund with the amended return. If they need to use a payment option, it should be done as soon as they

can, and they must pay as much of the balance before the deadline to reduce penalties and interest. A balance-due tax return is never fun, but hopefully these suggestions can make it a bit easier. Stay calm and carry on.

Local attorney recommends people review living trusts FALLBROOK – Local attorney James C. Alvord, who has written hundreds of wills and trusts for residents in Fallbrook, Temecula and throughout the North County, advises people to review their liv-

ing trust.

“Times change, laws change and your estate is changing all the time,” Alvord said. “Fortunately, your will and trust documents can be changed as well.”

Most people have a living trust, whether drafted by Alvord’s office or somewhere else. Some have even tried to write the documents themselves or used an online program. All trusts, regardless of their origin, need to be reviewed from time to time because “times change,” Alvord said.

Lives change from one day to the next. Sometimes they change for happy reasons like a new grandchild or a move into a new home, and sometimes they change for upsetting reasons like the loss of a loved one or a radical change in the makeup of a family.

Sometimes, people just want to change how their estate will be divided up after they’re gone. Fortu-

nately, most living trusts are specifically written to accommodate these changes, making it easy to update documents to reflect changes in a person’s life and the lives of their family members.

With all of this in mind, Alvord said it just makes sense for a person to review their living trust every five years or so, and it makes even more sense to have a licensed California lawyer who practices exclusively in the field of estate planning to do the review.

Alvord is now offering people a free consultation to discuss the changes in both their life and the law to determine if a review would be in order. People who don’t have

a living trust are invited to schedule a free consultation to decide if they need one.

It is important for people who own property in California to have a trust, Alvord said. The documents included in the trust package are designed to keep a person’s loved ones out of court and far away from the dreaded probate process. It will also ensure that a person will have someone to make health care decisions for them if they are unable to do so. Lastly, a living trust helps a person organize their assets and arrange for an orderly distribution of the estate upon their death.

For more information, call Alvord at (760) 728-1960.

HEMET – Leadercast is the largest one-day conference on leadership in the world. The conference is broadcast to over 700 locations around the world and viewed by over 100,000 participants.

Last year, Hemet became one of those locations – the only location in the Inland Empire. The historic Hemet Theatre hosted the event, with 100 participants from Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange counties. This year, the attendance is expected to double.

Leadercast focuses on the issues most relevant to today’s timestarved leader. It is a place of inspiring messages coupled with rich interaction between fellow leaders that want to raise their standard of leadership, and it is all delivered with a creative, energetic and memorable approach. This year’s theme, “Driven by Purpose,” will explore what can happen when teams and individuals are connected with

purpose, creating an organizational culture with intentional leadership that inspires extraordinary results.

The 2017 conference will take place Friday, May 5, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There are nine keynote speakers scheduled to speak including leadership author Andy Stanley; author and television commentator Suzy Welsh; Molly Fletcher, a former top sports agent and author; psychologist and author Dr. Henry Cloud; Daniel Pink, a behavior science expert and the host of “Crowd Control;” Tyler Perry, a director, playwright, actor and producer; Jess Ekstrom, CEO of Headbands of Hope; Jim McKelvey, the co-founder of Square and the founder of LaunchCode and Donald Miller, CEO of StoryBrand.

The Hemet site offers the lowest price of any host site in California.

Local sponsors are helping to defer the cost of the conference, hoping to maximize the conference’s

impact in the local community.

Sponsors for this year’s event include the San Jacinto Wal-Mart Superstore, Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors and Sage Investing. Additional sponsors are needed.

The Millennium Toastmasters Club has joined the team to organize the local event which will include a continental breakfast and lunch. Returning this year will be motivational speaker Randy Powell as the live keynote speaker at the lunch break. Powell is a resident of Temecula and a life coach, helping leaders in the Inland Empire to become “extraordinary performers.”

Mt. San Jacinto College program helps connect businesses with qualified student workers SAN JACINTO – What if a business could have one or more employees, for up to 20 hours per week and up to six months with 75 percent of their wages subsidized?

Mt. San Jacinto College CalWORKs Work Study program offers this opportunity to community businesses by matching qualified students to local businesses. Participating businesses must hold current business tax identification, pay 100 percent of the mandated payroll taxes and other associated costs and hold a permanent position available should the student be a fit for the company at the end of the student worker’s six months.

By teaming with community employers, the MSJC Job Connect and CalWORKs program provides employers with student candidates who can learn the initial necessary job skills needed to maintain longterm employment that focuses on career development. The program is designed to benefit both the employers and the students. Through the work study program, MSJC has proudly helped fill positions for more than 100 employers in the Inland Empire for the last 18 years.

Interested businesses can set an appointment with MJSC’s job developer Timmy Diaz either by phone or email. Diaz takes detailed

notes on a business’s specific needs, screens and finds the best qualified potential students for employers.

Once a candidate is chosen and accepted, the free contract can be completed. Additional assistance will be provided by the Job Developer and CalWORKs program to help the employers and the students succeed and grow with their new jobs. Assistance includes job coaching, supportive services and specialized counseling to help the individual balance the rigors of education and work.

The unique opportunity helps build businesses, while also supporting MSJC students and the local community.

Reality Rally offers up fun for the entire family Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERRMEDIA.COM

By the time you get around to reading this, Reality Rally 2017 will be in full swing, but it’s not too late to join in the fun and raise funds for Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center while meeting some of reality television’s biggest names.

Now in its seventh year, Reality Rally takes place April 6-8 with great activities such as The Reality Race through Old Town Temecula, a Celebrity Chef Cook-off and even a Reality Rally Festival full of fun and games for the entire family.

In last week’s Valley News, we highlighted the event, which is run by former “Survivor Gabon” contestant Gillian Larson, who decided to use her “15 minutes of fame” to assist Michelle’s Place in fundraising so they can continue to provide services to those who suffer from breast cancer. The story can be read online at www. myvalleynews.com and features the full schedule of events for this weekend’s activities.

“I love Temecula; it’s an amazing town, and I wanted to be able to do something for a charity in Temecula,” Larson said. “I also love Michelle’s Place; I read about their story and what they do for people in this area and beyond, and it suddenly came to me that I could use my mini celebrity … I could do something in Temecula raising money for Michelle’s Place.”

For Larson, it’s all about creating opportunities for both Michelle’s Place and those with a passion for reality television.

“This is an opportunity for all those people who love reality television,” Larson said. “People can ask ‘what was it like to be on “Naked and Afraid,” “Survivor” or “The Amazing Race.”’ People can come to talk to them. That’s why they are here, to talk to the public while raising money for Michelle’s Place. It’s amazing.”

So, what do I like best about Reality Rally? Well it’s simple, really.

Like Larson said, it gives fans like me the opportunity to come out and meet some of the stars, while doing something worthwhile for others,

who also like me, are suffering or who have suffered from the lifechanging disease, breast cancer.

This year I had the pleasure of interviewing two reality stars from “Survivor Millennials vs. Gen. X,” Sunday Burquest and season winner Adam Klein. Both reality stars were open with me regarding their own personal experience with cancer. Burquest is a breast cancer survivor, and Klein lost his mother to lung cancer shortly after returning home from his “Survivor” experience.

Reality Rally is important to Burquest, given her own recent experience with breast cancer.

She said she’s thrilled to have the opportunity to support Michelle’s Place and give back to women facing this terrible disease.

“I want to be encouraging to women of all kinds, those fighting breast cancer and even those who aren’t,” Burquest told me back in February. “My experience has given me a passion to help other women and families dealing with this disease. Breast cancer is awful to fight; the only thing worse

is trying to fight it alone. Having the emotional and financial support of others is critical to the recovery process. This is why I am so excited to participate in this years’ Reality Rally supporting Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center.”

Klein’s reaction to participating was much the same as Burquest’s.

In a March interview, he shared with me how it affected him to lose his mother to lung cancer and how participating in Reality Rally is helping him to channel his grief and his 15 minutes of fame into something positive.

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

Klein had words of praise for Larson and how she used what she calls her “15 minutes of fame” to help others.

“The way she approached her

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

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

After participating in the Reality Rally “Amazing Race” style event in Old Town, both Klein and Burquest, along with 79 other reality stars, will be at Saturday afternoon’s Reality Rally Festival to sign autographs, talk about their experiences and meet their fans.

I encourage everyone to come out and join Valley News, Gillian Larson and all the reality stars for a day of fundraising fun!

Helping San Diegans cope with Alzheimer’s disease Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As with so many issues involving medical research and health care, San Diego County is ground zero in the battle against Alzheimer’s disease. That’s why I was so pleased to help moderate “A Community Discussion on Alzheimer’s,” sponsored by Biocom and Biogen that recently took place in San Diego.

The event covered all aspects of the disease, including its impact on family, friends and caregivers, as well as scientific research that may eventually find a cure.

Currently, it is estimated that 65,000 persons are living with the disease locally, a number that is expected to increase to 94,000 people by 2030. Another 150,000 San Diegans are caring for loved ones suffering from Alzheimer’s,

the county’s third leading cause of death.

Unfortunately, finding a cure has been elusive. Despite billions spent on research and a number of clinical trials, many of which are now underway here in San Diego, only four drugs for treatment have been approved since 2000.

I moderated a panel that included Mary Ball, president and CEO of Alzheimer’s San Diego, and Dr.

Lisa Heikoff, former physician in charge at Kaiser Permanente. Discussions ranged from early warning signs to support and resources available to patients, family and friends alike. A question and answer session with all panelists followed.

The fight to find a cure goes on and so must support for caregivers and family members. For its part, Alzheimer’s San Diego helped 36,000 San Diegans by providing

free programs and services last year. Programs include education, support groups, respite care, social activities for those with dementia and much more.

As a member of the Assembly Health Committee for the past three years, I look forward to continuing to do my small part to improve health care in California and hopefully, to win the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.

Hang glider airlifted after crashing near Ortega Highway Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

LAKE ELSINORE – A hang glider suffered moderate injuries and had to be rescued by helicopter after he crashed in a steep, rugged area west of Lake Elsinore Saturday, April 1.

The hang glider went down near Main Divide Road south of Ortega Highway in the unincorporated area of Lake Elsinore.

Fourteen firefighters from three engine companies and one truck company responded to the rescue at 1:44 p.m. They were assisted by a Cal Fire helicopter, Riverside County sheriff’s deputies and members of the U.S .Forest Service.

After they arrived in the area, firefighter/paramedics began searching for the victim. With witnesses and onlookers pointing the way, officials

located the victim and began treating his injuries.

Due to the victim’s remote location and the rugged terrain, fire personnel determined the man would need to be airlifted from the location. Fire personnel requested Cal Fire helicopter 301, which has hoist capability.

“Copter 301 extracted and transferred the victim to a waiting ground ambulance,” Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Public Information Officer Tawny Cabral explained in an incident report after the man’s rescue. “The victim was transported by ground ambulance to an area hospital with moderate injuries.”

Officials did not specify the nature or extent of the victim’s injuries.

There were no updates regarding the victim’s status and condition.

Newborn who stopped breathing brings swift response, infant OK Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Reports of a 3-week-old that had stopped breathing brought an immediate response from Hemet Police and Fire officials Sunday, March 2. The infant, who was quickly resuscitated and transported to an area hospital in stable condition, had reportedly stopped breathing after choking on vomit.

The emergency brought a flood of police, firefighters, paramedics, a battalion chief, medics and others rushing to the aid of the infant.

City of Hemet Police and Fire personnel were dispatched to the Desert Palms mobile home park in the 1000 block of N. State Street in Hemet about 3:41 p.m., after a family member called 911 to report

the incident.

The caller told emergency dispatchers the infant was not breathing and not responding.

With firefighter and paramedics headed to the residence, officers from throughout the area began to respond to the location. The first officer arrived at the scene just one minute after the call was dispatched.

Within moments, the officer updated that the infant was breathing and responding. It was not immediately known if the child was resuscitated with assistance or recovered and began breathing again on its own.

Medics eventually transported the child by ground ambulance to Hemet Valley Hospital for further evaluation.

LAKE ELSINORE – Students were temporarily evacuated from their classes after a fire broke out at Elsinore Middle School Monday, April 3. Although roughly two dozen firefighters managed to quickly extinguish the fire, the blaze left an equipment room damaged.

“There were no injuries reported to firefighters, students or administrative staff,” Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Public Information Officer April Newman wrote in an incident report after the fire.

Twenty-three firefighters from five engine companies and one truck company responded to the fire in the 1200 block of West Graham Avenue in Lake Elsinore. They were overseen by four battalion commanders and assisted by an arson investigator.

Firefighters were first notified about the fire just before 9 a.m. They had the fire contained and students were allowed to return to their classes within 30 minutes.

When firefighters arrived at the

school, they reported “a large commercial educational facility, with heavy black smoke visible from the east side of the building,” Newman explained.

“Firefighters quickly contained the fire to the equipment room inside of the gym.”

“The equipment room...sustained heavy fire damage, along with smoke and water damage to the main gym,” said Newman.

Although the equipment room and gym were damaged by the blaze, Newman said the fire had “minimal impact to the school.”

Elsinore School District representatives quickly arrived and school officials took over efforts to limit damage to the facility.

Southern California Edison was summoned to the scene of the fire to assist with rendering damaged electrical lines safe.

In a recorded telephone message sent to inform parents about the fire, Elsinore Middle School Principal James Judziewicz said the cause of the fire, which began near the boy’s locker room, is under investigation and that the investigation was ongoing.

Jeffries presented with President’s Volunteer Service Award HEMET – Nicole Jeffries, a senior at Western Center Academy, received the President’s Volunteer Service Award for the number of hours she volunteered in the community. The award is presented to Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of time to serve their communities.

The award is granted by Prudential Spirit of Community awards program on behalf of the president’s council on service and civic participation.

Jeffries has dedicated 204.5 volunteer hours as of the beginning of the school year. She volunteers at

Therapeutic Horsemanship Equestrian Center which works with children and adults with disabilities. She also participates in beach cleanups and various other events to help the community. When Jeffries was in 10th grade, she approached the new counselor, Tamara Su’eSu’e at school and asked her if she could start a community service club on campus. Su’eSu’e said the club is now thriving with 25-30 members.

Jeffries has not only been a dedicated community member, but she is a dedicated student at Western Center Academy. She has a 4.65

GPA and will graduate high school with almost 40 college credits.

She plans on attending University of California Davis to attend their veterinary school and get her master’s at California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo to gain a more hands-on approach.

Jeffries is currently working on training the younger students to take over the Community Service Club after she graduates. She said volunteering has changed her life and she is happy to have given this opportunity to other students on campus.

Guinn inducted into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi BATON ROUGE, LA. – Davin Guinn of Murrieta was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective, all-discipline collegiate honor society. Guinn was initiated at Brigham Young University.

Guinn is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year.

Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candi-

dates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines.

Today, the society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines.

Its mission is “to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

HEMET – The Hemet Unified School District and the Hemet Teachers Association reached an impasse in negotiations Wednesday, March 29, concerning Article 9 salaries. This impasse means that despite their best efforts, the parties were not able to reach an agreement on these articles.

Impasse is essentially an extension of the negotiations process, with the

assistance of third parties. For example, the first stage of the impasse process is mediation. The parties have agreed on a mediator to assist the parties in the coming months. The district is hopeful to be able to complete negotiations during mediation, but plan to keep the community informed if they go beyond this stage.

Mediation does not necessarily mean that personal relation-

ships among the teams have broken down. In fact, the overall tenor of negotiations has been professional and collaborative. It is not expected to change merely because the parties have entered a different stage of negotiations.

The district plans to keep the community informed as the process unfolds, and it looks forward to reaching agreement with HTA.

Hemet Ramona Spring Fling kicks off the historic upcoming Ramona play

Actor Robert Leibovich playing the Padre in the March 31 Diamond Valley Art Council’s stage play “Helen Hunt Jackson and The Trial of Sam Temple” talks to actress Linda Greilich playing the author of “Ramona” Helen Hunt Jackson.

These young Spanish Dancers delighted spectators attending the April 1 Ramona Spring Fling festival on Harvard Street.

Sam Temple, accused of killing an Indian named Juan Diego in 1878, played by Dan Ferguson, tells Judge J.V. Tripp, played by Frank Siebke to have the court clerk, Greg Wilder to get the Indian woman murder witness, Rebekkah Summers, out of the courtroom during his trial. The scene was in the DVAC play “Helen Hunt Jackson and The Trial of Sam Temple,” March 31.

Fifth generation sheep shearer Graciano Hernandez shears this sheep in a demonstration during the April Ramona Days Spring Fling in downtown Hemet April 1.

The demonstration explained how Valley Indians and ranchers raised sheep in the 1870s when the novel Ramona was written by Helen Hunt Jackson.

These young Bird Singers from the Red Tail Spirit Dancers and Bird Singers troupe sang several children’s songs about the joy of living in a world of the Great Spirit both in the native Cahuilla Mission Indian language and English for the crowds at the Ramona Spring Festival.

spinning wheels to make useful yarns. It was like stepping into the past when Hemet and San Jacinto streets were still dirt and brick busy with buggies and horses.

Observing all the festivities were many of the actresses and actors in the upcoming “Ramona” play, including Kayla Contraras a Cal State student who plays Ramona, dressed in the bright red Indian costume she will wear in the play. The festivities continued well into the evening all to celebrate “Ramona” the outdoor play coming April 22-23, 29-30 and May 6-7 at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater. (www.

The DVAC’s “Helen Hunt & The Trial of Sam Temple” play gave the hundreds of theater goers Friday evening a glimpse of the little-known history of the now famous author who

The Diamond Valley Arts Council production of “Helen Hunt Jackson & The Trial of Sam Temple” Friday, March 31, helped kickoff Hemet’s revived Ramona Spring Festival held in downtown Hemet this past weekend.

The Ramona Days Spring Festival revival Saturday, April 1, in downtown Hemet was held in conjunction with the Food Truck Festival to benefit the Fingerprints Youth Museum at 123 S. Carmalita Street.

The combined special event was sponsored by the City of Hemet, the Ramona Bowl Association, The Diamond Valley Art Center, the Hemet/ San Jacinto Chambers of Commerce, the historic Hemet Theater, Central County United Way and the many downtown merchants.

The Ramona Spring Fling brought hundreds of Hemet and San Jacinto residents and out of town guests to the six blocks of downtown Hemet, many dressed in 1860s costumes to help revive and celebrate the Ramona Days Spring Fling and Food Truck Festival.

There were Spanish and Indian dancers singing and twirling in their colorful costumes on Harvard Street. The aroma of simmering barbecue beef, salsas and sizzling hamburgers filled the air above Carmalita Street and Florida Avenue to State Street coming from the food trucks and vendors. The Ramona Cowboys from the “Ramona” some real ranchers and cattlemen, strolled down the streets greeting visitors while fifth generation sheep shearer Graciano Hernandez worked to bring a pelt of freshly sheared sheep’s wool to weavers using the old-time

has become famous for describing injustices American Indian tribes were suffering at the hands of the government of that time.

Linda Greilich, a noted actress from Golden Era Studios, played the role of Jackson who came to San Jacinto to learn about the plight of the Indians, while cowboy actors from the Nuevo and Anza area, played the roles of Sam Temple (Dan Ferguson) the Indian killer, Judge S.Y. Trip (Frank Siebke), the Padre (Robert Leibovich) who provided Jackson with the court findings and others. Lori Van Arsdale was the executive producer of the play.

It was the trial of Sam Temple who was acquitted of killing a member of the Soboba Indian tribe accused of stealing his horse. A judge and jury of white men, ranchers and farmers from the Valley at that time,

Ladies enjoying the Ramona Spring Fling were invited to attend for a small fee.

found the killing of Indians excusable, like many others in the 1860s West.

This trial, to Jackson, was the epitome of the government’s injustice to Native American Indians, that gave her an epiphany to write the novel “Ramona” for the American people of the time to see the Indian injustices when everything else in nonfiction she had written failed and even forced her out of Washington D.C. Her first nonfiction book outlining Indian injustice entitled “Century of Dishonor” was passed out to every congressman of the time, but little came out of it. “It was 360 pages,” said Greilich in the performance, “Just like politicians, it was too long to read.”

Saturday brought more than a dozen of Indian dancers from the Red Tail Spirit Dancers and Bird Singers to the Harvard Street. Dressed in their colorful costumes, often worn in pow wows, the Red Tail performers danced and sang telling about traditional Indian stories and tales while the Bird Singers beat a traditional drum and shook their rattles.

As a special treat to the festival goers was the appearance of Terry Goodale, the world champion Native Hoop Dancer, who put on an unforgettable display of Indian hoop dancing. He skillfully gathered his hoops, dancing and linking them together showing his skill in a dance depicting the coming together of all the tribes and peoples of the world. His eight hoop patterns ranged from looking like a bird to the rounded earth.

Spanish dancers, young and old, many who perform “Ramona,” twirled and swayed to the traditional Spanish music swishing the most colorful dresses back and forth while children danced around traditional sombreros in a Mexican Hat Dance. The Mexican music set many those watching to

dancing themselves adding the joy of the day in the pleasant 70-degree sunny weather.

Antique cars lined the middle of Harvard Street for most of Saturday afternoon as a reminder of the autos common to town in the 1920s when “Ramona” was first performed in the acoustically amazing Ramona Bowl Amphitheater at the end of Girard Street south off Stetson Avenue. The first “Ramona” was performed in April 1923 when the seats were rock and logs.

Vendors selling everything from Indian goods to jewelry lined the lot north of Harvard Street back of the Hemet Library on Latham brought many customers to their wished upon items.

A “tea time” was held at the Destination Coffee Bar and Bistro in the old Hemet Train Depot and museum off State Street and Latham. The tea party portrayed the activities of some of finer ladies in the 1860s, not unlike those that author Jackson might have enjoyed during her college days at Amhurst College in Massachusetts or Washington, D.C. Greilich wearing a traditional black mantilla with a peineta comb and an embroidered red full-length dress like the finest Spanish ladies once wore in Old Mexico enjoyed a coffee inside the Bistro as well sharing stories of early Hemet with others, all in preparation for “Ramona.”

To cap the evening of the Ramona Spring Fling the doors of the historic Hemet Theater opened to a showing of the locally produced and directed independent movie “Cataract Gold” starring some of the “Ramona Cowboys” and produced by Pinyon rancher Paul Kiener.

Helpful Honda Guys roll in to help the San Jacinto Animal Shelter Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The “Helpful Honda Guys in Blue” rolled into the Riverside County Department of Animal Services San Jacinto facility March 18 to help the animal care technicians find new homes for the many lost or abandoned dogs and cats up for adoption.

The first thing Helpful Honda ‘Guy’ Wendy Montano said while putting a dog leash into a gift bag for new pet adoptees is “Everything you see on TV about Helpful Honda Guys in Blue is true. We are here today. Our job is to be helpful to needy people. It’s all real.”

The Helpful Honda Guys mission

at the animal shelter was to help and encourage potential pet adoptees to find the right “furry friend,” dog or cat needing a happy new home. The Honda Guys representing the area’s helpful SoCal Honda Dealers were helpful as more than the normal number of new pet seekers showed up for the special event at the shelter, held from 12-4 p.m. at 581 Grand Avenue in San Jacinto.

By 1 p.m. animal care technicians had written up 10 new pet adoptions for more than a dozen dogs. For each adoption, the adopted pets’ new family received a bag of animal “goodies” from the Helpful Honda Guys consisting of a leash, pet water bowl, doggie bags, a freeze-dried bag of dog food and a bottle of “Germs

shmerms.” But even more exciting for the new owners was a photo of the family and their new furry family member.

Animal services were available for only a $20 adoption fee for cats and $40 for dogs and also provided a microchip, shots and license for each adopted animal.

One of the first new adoptive pet families, the Moldanado family from San Jacinto, loved their two new Chihuahua family members, one they named “Cream” and the other yet to be named. The family adopted the two new pets after they recently lost two other dogs, one of their four children said. It was hard to tell who was happier the family or the two little dogs who licked their new owners, constantly wagging their little tails.

“This is pretty fantastic,” Devin Perdomo, animal care technician, said. “It’s pretty cool the Honda Guys moving to help the animals.

They are definitely helpful to us.

Without them we would not have as many adoptions as we have had today. There could be way more.”

The San Jacinto animal shelter houses about 200 cats and dogs at one time and adopts out 30 to 50 animals per month depending upon the season.

For the Helpful Honda Guys, this event is the 6th annual Helpful Honda Pet Adoption campaign with local shelters and rescue groups through the month of March. Over the past six years, the SoCal Honda dealers have helped over 500 pets find their forever homes. In an effort

The Helpful Honda Guys in Blue pose with the Moldanado family and their newly adopted furry friends “Cream” the Chihuahua and another yet to be named puppy at the San Jacinto Riverside County Department of Animal Services shelter on Grand Avenue. It was another Random Act of Helpfulness by the Helpful Honda Guys.

to find more dogs and cats find their forever homes this year, the Guys in Blue will be doing other “pawsome” things, providing free dog washes, a fun pet-photo booth and the doggy bags like those handed out at the San Jacinto shelter. They also made a supplies donation to the San Jacinto shelter.

The San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus is open Tuesday-Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed Sundays, Mondays and holidays. For information, call (951) 358-7387.

Helpful Honda Pet Adoption partners include Wags & Walks, Dachshund Rescue of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Animal Services East Valley, Barks of Love Pet Care, German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County, Ventura County Animal Services and Riverside County Department of Animal Services.

SoCal Honda dealers said sponsoring the Helpful Honda Pet Adoption Guys is raising awareness for adoption. They believe pet adoption is one of the most humane and beneficial ways to bring a new pet into the family and help decrease pet overpopulation and euthanasia.

It is just another way helpful Honda is continuing its commitment to being helpful.

On Valentine’s Day, the Guys in Blue surprised thousands of residents with complimentary roses.

Every day the blues shirts can be seen in the community doing other Random Acts of Helpfulness such as cleaning up local parks and shopping plazas, opening doors, carrying groceries, providing tissues during the cold season and handing out water to help people cool down when it’s warm outside just because “it’s their job to be helpful.”

Dining in the Valley

Archibald’s Drive-Thru’s Menifee location is a sports-lover’s dream

The new Menifee location of Archibald’s Drive-Thru offers a wide range of menu items including, burgers, hot dogs, burritos and their famous DUI Fries.

Archibald’s Drive-Thru is now open in Menifee and features a double drive-thru to keep hungry diners moving.

Archibald’s Drive-Thru Manager Edgar Arreola flips a burger in his store located at 28881 Newport Road in Menifee.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Menifee’s newest eatery, Archibald’s Drive-Thru, isn’t just the best place in town to grab a burger, beer and some DUI Fries, with walls plastered with sports memorabilia and14 big-screen televisions, it’s a sports lover’s dream.

Serving a bit of everything from pancakes and waffles, to mouthwatering angus beef burgers, hot dogs and fresh from the garden salads, Archibald’s menu is designed to please even the pickiest of eaters.

The Menifee location is serving as a franchise model for Archibald’s.

Franchise information can be found online at www.archibaldsburgers. com.

General Manager Omar Roman has been with Archibald’s for 12 years and says the new Menifee location is different from the other restaurants with a roomier layout and bar area.

“We implemented some changes to the menu, perfected it to make everything more operational which is what makes it different from what we have right now,” Roman explained, adding that they hope to be ready to franchise in about eight months.

With a double drive-thru that opens at 5:30 a.m. daily, look for everything on this menu from Archibald’s Incredible Breakfast Bur-

rito – two scrambled eggs, cheese, hash browns and your choice of bacon, sausage, ham or carne asada rolled into a soft, warm, flour tortilla – to homemade waffles topped with strawberries a whipped cream.

Can’t get out of bed in the morning?

Well, that’s OK too, Archibald’s serves breakfast all-day, every day.

For those in search of a delicious lunch or dinner, be sure to try the Monster Burger. This delectable treat features two one-third pound, certified angus beef patties, bacon, avocado, double cheese, Thousand Island dressing, lettuce, tomato, onions and pickles served piping hot and fresh from the grill on a sesame seed bun. If the Monster Burger doesn’t appeal to you, Archibald’s offers a variety of sandwiches including a club sandwich, pastrami sandwich served with mustard and pickles on a French roll, and a chili cheeseburger, complete with mustard, onion and pickles.

“Our burgers are really good, we only use certified angus beef on all of our burgers. Our pastrami is also certified angus beef,” Roman said.

Diners can make any sandwich or burger a combo with fries and a 22-ounce drink for just a few dollars more. For those who want more to choose from, why not try the incredible combo with a 32-ounce drink

The new Menifee Archibald’s Drive-Thru is the first of the popular restaurant chain to offer beer on tap served up at a chilly 29 degrees Fahrenheit using the trademarked Blizzard System in the dedicated bar area.

With tons of sports memorabilia and 14 big-screen televisions throughout the restaurant, the new Archibald’s Drive-Thru in Menifee is Kim Harris photos every sports-lovers dream.

and your choice of fried zucchini, onion rings chili fries or huge fries?

While it might seem that Archibald’s is all about the sandwiches, the restaurant offers salads for diners who want something on the lighter side. Check out the Poppy Seed & Fruit Salad with chicken and poppy seed dressing or the Greek Salad with a light balsamic vinaigrette dressing, both salads will leave you feeling full while cutting back on the calories.

“Our salads are all made with fresh grilled chicken breast, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables,” Roman said.

For those who just want to come out for one of the restaurant’s 10 beers on tap – served up at a chilly

29 degrees Fahrenheit using the trademarked Blizzard System – and to watch the big game, try an order of crispy fried zucchini, some onion rings or Archibald’s world famous DUI Fries, a mouthwatering combination of crisp fried French fries, topped with chili, cheese, carne asada, pastrami and yes, even bacon.

“We have the Blizzard System here which pours your beer out at 29 degrees,” Roman said, adding that the restaurant will carry IPAs and craft beers as well as the usual standbys. “We are looking into a selection of wines and will possibly add wine-based cocktails.”

Roman said visitors to Archibald’s Drive-Thru in Menifee can expect a different dining expe-

rience than what they are used to.

“We offer fresh food fast, and for those who want to stick around and watch the big game, well we offer that too,” he said. “At Archibald’s it’s all about providing diners with the food they crave and the service they deserve.”

Menifee Archibald’s, located at 28881 Newport Road, is open Sunday through Thursday from 5:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 5:30 a.m. until midnight and offers a separate meeting room that seats 50 for parties, meetings and events and is available at no charge to customers.

During a birthday celebration at Cougar Vineyard & Winery, Amber Reeder, ordered a meat and cheese platter to accompany her wine choices. “It was a great deal at less than $20,” she said.

This happy guitar player is just one of the many musicians who perform at Cougar Vineyard & Winery. Live music happens every Friday at the winery from 7-8 p.m. and Sundays from 2-5 p.m.

The History of Temecula’s wine country Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Southern California is a dream vacation spot for millions of individuals from around the world.

Temecula Valley welcomes approximately 3 million of those visitors yearly. Nestled in rolling hills, Temecula’s wine country epitomizes the easy, relaxing, carefree spirit that people long for.

The fusion of Southern California’s laid back style and the relaxing vibe in Temecula Valley have created an approachable wine region that people can feel comfortable spending time in, regardless of their wine experience.

115,200 acres of viticultural area.

To date, there are over 40 wineries in Temecula Valley, which offer every type of wine fan the type of wine and winery that they would like to experience.

There are large, highly regarded wineries, as well as small wineries that offer intimate experiences for everyone. There are wineries that allow for families to sprawl out with picnic lunches and wineries that provide top of the line, multiple course meals to be paired with glasses of fine wine. Both small and larger wineries have won recognition from around the world, and have gained fans from across all states.

SoCal charm + winery knowledge = a unique winery experience The microclimate in the Temecula Valley region, in addition to the rolling hills, make for perfect wine grape growth. The area has soil and climate that make for high quality grapes and the hillsides allow for ideal soil drainage, which allows for the varietal wine flavors have pure, vibrant flavors. The region is also breathtakingly beautiful yearlong, so guests can come at any point of the year, enjoy local wine, and talk with winemakers about the winemaking process.

The Temecula Valley American Viticultural Area has 1,500 acres dedicated to wine grape growing, and is part of Southern California’s

Decades of wine growth The first wine grapes were planted in Temecula Valley in the 1960s and 1970s. Callaway Winery was one of the first wineries that invested in the valley in 1974, and others soon began to purchase acreage to plant their grapes. In addition to Callaway, other individuals who founded wineries in the area were Joe Hart and John Poole, who founded Hart Winery and Mt. Palomar, respectively.

However, not many understood why Ely Callaway, the former president of Burlington Industries, would plant his vineyards in such an unestablished part of the state.

However, Callaway’s inclination proved sound; the temperature and

Wine Country map courtesy of Temecula Valley Winegrowers

sunlight in Temecula rivaled that of the most affluent wine country.

To insure the quality of his grapes, Callaway only produced two tons or less per acres, whereas other wineries might have pushed the vines to produce 10 tons per acre. In addition, the winemaking process Callaway used allowed him to remove any excess flavors from the wine during the aging process.

Callaway’s wine became renowned, and even reached the table of Queen Elizabeth in 1976. Once this occurred, Temecula became the new place to invest in for wineries.

By 1989, 11 wineries had established themselves in the valley, and Temecula Valley was the best kept secret for those looking for a relaxing vacation away from their busy lives.

John Tribelhorn named Menifee Arts Council April Artist of the Month MENIFEE – John Tribelhorn is the chair of the music department for the Mt. San Jacinto College District, a full- time professor at its San Jacinto Campus and director of the MSJC Concert Band. His desire and success at teaching a diverse group of students has gotten him noticed in the community and recognized as April’s Artist of the Month by Arts Council Menifee.

A graduate of the University of Redlands School of Music, where he earned Bachelor and Master of Music degrees in trumpet performance, Tribelhorn was a frequent soloist on trumpet and piano in many of the university’s ensembles.

“I’ve always been much stronger on trumpet. Basic proficiency on piano is a part of most music degrees, but I started taking piano more seriously when I was in college as a way to better understand jazz improvisation and music theory,” Tribelhorn, 30, said. “I’m not sure that I prefer one instrument over the other. I enjoy playing piano and keyboards in jazz and popular music, and playing trumpet for classical music.”

He received presidential and talent scholarships during his four years of undergraduate studies and played with every performance group there – both classical and jazz. In his senior year, he was selected to play in the prestigious Presidential Honor Recital.

After completing his degrees, he wasn’t sure what direction to take. He was playing as much as possible and delivering pizzas. Then a part-time teaching position became available at MSJC in 2011.

“As soon as I taught my first class there, I was hooked and immediately knew that I wanted to be a full-time community college instructor and started working toward that goal,” Tribelhorn said.

He worked as an associate faculty member through spring of 2013 and became full-time faculty in fall of 2014. He began directing the concert band the following year and currently leads about 25 members.

Tribelhorn is solely responsible for the selection of all the pieces the band plays. He said he considers the ability of his musicians and tries to

find pieces that push them out of their comfort zone without being too frustrating.

“One of the things that I like best about teaching at a community college is the diversity,” he said. “Many of the members of my band are retired music instructors, and it’s great that they are able to share their experience with the younger students.”

Tribelhorn has performed, recorded, composed and arranged music for a variety of Southern California classical, jazz and popular music groups, and he maintains an active performance schedule on trumpet and keyboards. Although his background is primarily in classical trumpet, Tribelhorn also specializes in teaching jazz improvisation and music theory, directing groups that have unique or experimental instrumentation and working with students that are new to music.

“It’s a bit of a cliche, but I really enjoy teaching and listening to all genres of music,” he said. “I think that something happens to your brain when you’re a music major in college. You get bombarded by such

a variety of music that it becomes necessary to stop thinking about music in terms of good or bad and instead learn to appreciate music for what it’s trying to accomplish and why it exists.”

Tribelhorn got an early start with his own musical instruction. He

joined the band at Callie Kirkpatrick Elementary School in Menifee in fourth grade, playing the clarinet.

The following year his teacher, David Bledsoe, suggested he switch to the trumpet.

John Tribelhorn Sr. said his son was the only sixth-grade student in the jazz band at Menifee Valley Middle School. He was also named “Sixth Grade Musician of the Year.”

During seventh and eighth grades, his band instructor was Richard Kettner, who is an associate faculty at MSJC’s Menifee Valley Campus.

Tribelhorn continued his music instruction at Paloma Valley High School and played with a youth jazz group in Temecula called Musicians Workshop.

“Musical talent is not something that some people have, and others are incapable of attaining; it’s just like any other skill. It takes hours of consistent dedication and practice, much of it extremely tedious, over the course of many years,” the younger Tribelhorn said. “We performers are driven to do it because we value the reward from our patience and hard work.”

Tribelhorn works as a freelance musician, hired for specific events along with other musicians, when he isn’t busy teaching. He also plays trumpet with the Desert Winds Freedom Band, a community concert band in Palm Springs.

“As a community college professor, it’s especially great to see my former students go on to do great things and to think that I had some small part in helping them along on their journey,” he said.

The Mt. San Jacinto College Concert Band, under Tribelhorn’s direction, performed its spring concert April 2 and will end with a season concert at 7 p.m. May 16. The concerts are held at MSJC’s San Jacinto Campus Theater, 1499 N. State St. in San Jacinto. Cost is $6 for general admission, $5 for seniors and $4 for students. Tickets are available at the box office, by calling (951) 4873790 or online at www.msjc.edu/ performingarts.

Nonprofit develops destination music festival in Fallbrook FALLBROOK – Music for the Revolution, a new nonprofit group in Fallbrook, will launch their second annual music festival at Pala Mesa Resort Oct. 8. The festival is a full day of music, art, food and local vendors.

Music for the Revolution Festival promotes environmental and social justice issues. Attendees of the festival are encouraged to connect and get involved with local charities represented at the event. Additionally, Music for the Revolution will continue to host events to draw attention to local concerns, just as it did March 4 with its Town Hall Meeting regarding nuclear waste burial at San Onofre State Beach.

Music for the Revolution had its grand opening March 1 in a well-attended event by the business community. Fans of the first music festival held last year were also in attendance, coming from Fallbrook, Bonsall, Temecula and Oceanside.

“We gather community around important causes through the power of music,” Executive Director Jim Jones said. “Our world needs us to come together in celebration, harmony and justice in this time of social and ecological uncertainty.”

Lambs Fellowship Annual Car and Motorcycle Show fundraiser set May 20 LAKE ELSINORE – Lambs Fellowship Annual Car and Motorcycle Show scheduled for May 20 promises to be larger than ever before with the partnership of the Boomers Car Club of Temecula Valley. The show that attracted more than 200 classic and custom cars and motorcycles is expected to bring even more vehicles to the church grounds.

Lambs Fellowship Church at 21901 Railroad Canyon Road, Lake Elsinore, hosts the show each year with all its proceeds going to benefit the Lambs Fellowship Church Children’s Charities to benefit needy children in Lake Elsinore.

“The Lambs Fellowship Church in anticipation of another sold our Car and Motorcycle show have teamed up with Boomers Car Club to expand their fundraising efforts by offering to members of the community a Car Cruise and Movie Night open to the public,” a church news release says.

“With the support of the City of Lake Elsinore, Steve Manos, City Councilman and others, we put on an annual charity car and motorcycle show now in its official third year. Last year we saw 291 registered vehicles and more than 100 motorcycles participated in our annual show.

“This show has become a local favorite but it has brought in cars from as far as Iowa and Utah. This is in due on part by our vendor partnerships and sponsors. In addition, we are an all-volunteer group that puts this show on for the community and 100 percent of the net proceed goes to the distribution of local charities that support and help homeless children and children in need. Last year we raised over $12,000 to benefit homeless children in our community. We recognize that our future lies with our children and good coaching and mentoring starts at home.

“We bring people together for the love of cars and motorcycle but we leave them with a timeless message that as a community we can make a difference in people and their lives, the responsibility for change is incumbent upon all of us to contribute,” he said.

He added, “The show is proud of the efforts by the Boomers and Steve Peace, Chairman of the Boomers Car Club of Temecula Valley for stepping up and taking on this challenge.”

Steve Peace, Chairman and founder of the Boomers, stated, “I started the club with community service in mind. The Boomers Car Club of Temecula Valley are a proud sponsor of the movie night and are happy to donate their time and all monies collected to these worthwhile charities.”

Drake Kelley, Lambs Fellowship board member added, “We are inspired by those whom step up and continue to help and support our church and community.”

Kakis says, “Please join us April 7, at 6:30 p.m. to see the academy award winning, animated movie ‘Zootopia.’ We have 250 tickets to sell, admission is $3 each and a family of four just $10. Movie tickets can be purchased online at www.lambscarshow.com.

HOME & GARDEN

Tickets now on sale for Santa Rosa Plateau’s annual garden tour MURRIETA – The “hills are alive” April 29 with the sights and sounds of nature’s music at the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s 14th annual Garden Tour and Garden Party, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Featuring five beautiful and unique private gardens nestled in the Tenaja Valley area on the Santa Rosa Plateau, the tour has become a favorite for local gardening and nature enthusiasts. This year’s theme “Gardening in Mother Nature’s Backyard” will feature gardens that have been designed by their owners to compliment and integrate Mother Nature’s unpredictable effects on gardening.

For example, the “Waterfall Garden” features how a giant natural boulder was fashioned into a cascade of water or the “Cottage Garden” demonstrates how a relatively small area can be transformed into an abundance of garden vignettes. The “Vista View Garden” is a tropical paradise that includes the valley view of the Santa Ana Mountain range, and the “Flora and Friesian Foals” garden displays a landscape filled with California friendly plants hosting magnificent Friesian horses and an incredible stone barn.

The Garden Party component of the event will be held at Liberty Oaks Ranch, a 40-acre horse ranch transformed into a Garden Party.

It will host the Marie Callender’s picnic lunch cafe, the beer and wine garden serving local wines, Stone Brewing and Garage Beer craft beers, live entertainment by Jimmy & Enrique, the Secret Garden silent auction and a garden marketplace.

University of California Riverside master gardeners will be on hand with gardening tips.

Tickets are on sale at www. srpf.org or may be purchased the Santa Rosa Plateau Visitor Center, 39400 Clinton Keith Road. Tickets are also available by phone at (800) 369-4620. General admission garden tour tickets, including the garden party site, are $20 for Foundation members and $30 for non-members. Day of the event tickets are $40.

Attendees can drive themselves and visit the gardens in the order of their choice, or they can decide to purchase in advance a $15 shuttle ticket and travel to the gardens in an air-conditioned, luxury limo bus. Garden Cafe lunch tickets are purchased in advance for $15.

Combo tickets that include the tour, garden party, lunch and the shuttle tickets are available for $45 for Foundation members and $55 for non-members. General admission and shuttle tickets can be purchased on the day of the event at the Trails Circle entry to La Cresta. Combo and lunch tickets are advance purchase only.

The Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation welcomes the community to its 14th annual Garden Tour and Garden Party April 29.

The event is a fundraiser to support youth environmental stewardship nature education programs at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve. The programs, serving approximately 9,000 youth in grades 3-12 from 10 local school districts, provide much needed nature education opportunities to students in southwest Riverside County. Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation provides all programs at no cost to participating schools and classrooms.

Each carefully crafted garden at the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation’s 14th annual Garden Tour and Garden Party April 29 is sure to please gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike as they see this year’s theme “Gardening in Mother Nature’s Backyard” brought to life.

The importance of inspections and repair negotiations to a home seller Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Typically, sellers tend to become less stressed as soon as all of the purchase contract signatures are in place. A good Realtor will be with them and ready to prepare them for the next negotiation phase.

Property inspections can frequently result in a buyer submitting a request for repairs requiring corrections by the seller. Whether you as the seller are prepared for these or they come as a surprise, this is when an informed Realtor can really help you to deal with them, as repair disputes are the most common reason transactions fail to close or are delayed greatly.

The job of a Realtor is to help you to avoid these “surprises” related to condition and repair negotiations after inspections. Expect them to provide you with the best information about what a buyer may want corrected. However, also keep in mind, there will be things that nobody can anticipate until the inspectors have submitted their reports. So, always try to leave some negotiation room for yourself.

Always be thinking ahead to inspections and repair demands from the first offer on. Think of what may be coming in the way of inspections and repair negotiations, especially when the initial purchase contract price negotiations are in play. No matter how urgent your need is to sell, if you go too far in price concessions at the beginning, you may have no room left when inspections are done and a request for repairs is submitted from a buyer.

A buyer is normally paying for and ordering inspections, typically it’s the seller’s Realtor responsibility to make sure that inspections happen on time and that they receive the inspection reports by deadline due dates. Then meet with the sellers and go over the reports and any buyer objections/requirements to develop a counter strategy. If there are no objections or they’re minor in nature

and cost, you may opt to agree to corrections. However, if they’re more extensive and were not anticipated, they are there to help you to reply in a way that saves you money and keeps the buyer in the transaction.

Depending on the desires of the buyer and their selection of inspectors, there could be as few as a single inspector hired to do a thorough inspection of the home and all equipment supporting the home. However, there may also be other inspectors hired with a more focused goal, possibly a heating and air conditioning contractor, a roof inspection, a well inspector, septic inspector, etc. Each of these inspections will have deadlines for completion and submission of reports and buyer requests for repairs.

Any good Realtor has their own list of inspectors and contractors,

and can call in experts to provide cost estimates and help sellers make decisions within the deadline times.

Unless you have multiple offers, a buyer in the hand is worth something.

An exceptional Realtor will keep that buyer in the transaction, exceeding the seller’s expectations, securing the highest net proceeds the market will allow.

As a person of faith, it is common for people to need to express what they believe clearly. These occasions have better results when people practice in order to better relate their thoughts and beliefs to their neighbors and acquaintances, when time allows.

In America, the Constitution provides certain freedoms, including the freedom of religion. It often seems that people of different faiths are interacting and feeling threatened by world and national events. The event “Religious Understanding Day” hopes to bridge the gap and allow peaceful dialogue between community members and neighbors of all faiths.

To register or for information, email krystynegray@yahoo.com, call (951) 259-3714 or call Mike Madrigal at (951) 970-1370.

Whether you subscribe to Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu or some other faith, the Mt. San Jacinto College Diversity Committee and the Hemet-San Jacinto Interfaith Council of the Greater Hemet, San Jacinto and Menifee Region invites the community to attend “Religious Understanding Day” Saturday, April 8, in the MSJC San Jacinto Campus library.

The event from 8:30 a.m. until noon is entitled “Who is My Neighbor? How people of faith relate to others.” It will be day of interfaith dialogue and cooperation. The free event is open to the public. Preregistration is encouraged. Breakfast will be served, and there is free campus parking on the north lot.

General plan amendment initiation proceedings approved for Londen Land Company parcels Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Londen Land Company owns three Rancho California parcels totaling 14.48 acres and seeks to reduce the minimum lot size from one dwelling unit per 5 acres to one dwelling unit per 2 acres. The Riverside County board of supervisors approved the initiation of general plan amendment proceedings for the property March 21.

The supervisors’ 3-0 vote, with Marion Ashley absent and one vacant seat, allows the commencement of proceedings to change the general plan foundation component from rural to community development and the land use designation from rural residential to estate density residential.

The property is north of Mazoe Street, south of Auld Road, east of Dickson Path and west of Maddalena Road. It currently has A-15 Light Agriculture zoning.

The proposal to initiate general plan amendment proceedings was heard by the county’s General Plan Advisory Committee Aug.

25. Some members of the committee felt that the current foundation should be retained and expressed concern that the increased density would not be compatible. Other members noted that an existing medium-density residential tract to the north and a future proposed roadway expansion and realignment through the area were grounds that the change would be appropriate, and a majority of the committee members recommended initiation of the general plan amendment proceedings. The Nov. 2 hearing of the county’s planning commission resulted in comments by commissioners that two-acre lots would be compatible with the other existing surrounding residential lots in the area and the planning commission recommended that the board of supervisors approve initiation of the amendment proceedings.

During the general plan amendment proceedings, an environmental analysis, as well as a land use review, will be conducted, and a public hearing will also precede any decision on the actual general plan amendment.

Roberson family finds dream home thanks to Pardee Homes LAKE ELSINORE – The Roberson family’s dream of home ownership was a long journey with some hurdles along the way, but they remained calm, positive and focused on their goal. As a veteran, there were specific benefits available to Dave Roberson that made it easy to work with Pardee Homes.

The Veterans Affairs program allowed the Robersons to reserve their home initially for just $500.

Pardee Homes Inland Empire also offers qualified military personnel

and veterans $3,000 toward options and or closing costs through their “Our Heroes Program” and prospective buyers eligible for a VA loan pay no closing costs.

“Pardee never gave up on us,” Roberson said. “It got tough several times and came down to the wire where they had to make a decision to put the house back on the market or not, but they didn’t.

We reached our milestones in the process and even had things that were not planned for happen that

made the already tough journey even rougher. We’re very grateful to Pardee Homes for standing by us every step of the way and making our dream a reality.”

The Robersons started their journey to purchase a home at Vantage at Westridge in the master-planned community of Canyon Hills in July 2016. They were looking for something affordable but of high quality and were among the first buyers to join the interest list.

“We wanted a place where our

family could be a family,” labor and delivery nurse Lorraine Roberson said, “Our priority was finding the right environment and a place where our kids can be safe.

We also love the views and are excited about Summit Park, which is opening soon. I will definitely tell my friends and co-workers about Pardee’s assistance program for members of the health care and public service communities.”

Vantage includes some of the largest home sites at the higher terraces in the gated Westridge community. Homes feature Spanish, French country, Northern Italian and classical architecture with up to five bedrooms, three bathrooms and two to three-bay garages. There are three floor plans, all with lofts and options for covered patios, decks and spa showers in the master bath. Square footage ranges

from approximately 2,539 to 2,883 square feet. Pricing is from the high $300,000s.

The Roberson family bought the Plan 3 floor plan with a spacious great room and separate dining room. The full bedroom and bathroom downstairs is ideal for use as Dave Roberson’s home office, and the upstairs loft allows plenty of zoned space for the entire family.

They’re thrilled to have an extra big backyard for their three active young boys to play.

Like all new homes built by Pardee Homes, Vantage at Westridge includes the company’s LivingSmart package of standard and optional features that increases energy-efficiency, saves water, saves money and contributes to the homeowners’ long-term peace of mind.
