Legal clash pits HOA against Temecula over parkand-ride lot Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

A clash between Temecula and one of its oldest homeowner groups has cast a pall over plans to unravel knotted freeway ramps at the city’s south side.

The legal dispute centers on a park and ride lot that the city is building along Temecula Parkway.

That legal conflict could factor into city plans to ease traffic congestion and boost freeway safety a short distance away.

The city interchange improvement project will cost nearly $50.7 million. Work has been repeatedly delayed on the ramp improvements, and the $2.8 million park-and-ride lot is a key piece of a larger infrastructure puzzle.

The city and its legal muscle overshadow the tadpole-shape Los Ranchitos Homeowners Association. But that doesn’t deter leaders of the 189-home tract that is known for its large lots, ranch-style homes and white-slat fences.

Tomaszewski, Ziff and other Los Ranchitos community members propose that the entrance and exit to the Park and Ride should be constructed at an empty lot (pictured left), where carpoolers will only use Temecula Parkway to ingress and egress the parking lot. Current construction is planned to use Vallejo Avenue for entering and exiting Park and Ride users and members of the Los Ranchitos community fear that will increase traffic and traffic congestion in the area.

Menifee experiences sales tax gain during fourth quarter for 2015 MENIFEE – Menifee’s fourth quarter sales tax revenues outpaced the prior year’s results, a key indicator of a continued strong and expanding economy.

The city’s sales tax revenues from October, November and December 2015 climbed 12.9 percent, excluding aberrations and 20.7 percent overall, when compared with the same quarter one year prior.

“This substantial growth is due to more businesses and restaurants opening and continued construction in the city,” said Interim Development Director Jeff Wyman.

A newer city like Menifee depends on sales tax revenues to provide basic city services such as public safety, traffic relief and road improvements. Fourth quarter sales tax revenues are on target

with expected sales tax revenue projections. The city has forecast a $20 million gap in general fund revenue over the next five years, largely due to annual rising public safety costs. The $4-4.5M annual loss of Vehicle License Fees since 2011, continues to burden the city’s ability to provide increased public safety personnel. While the sales tax revenue report is substantially good news for the city, it will not resolve the annual increase in public safety costs, which currently makes up 66 percent of the general fund budget, or replace the loss of VLF revenue.

Overall, consumer goods category contributed to 35 percent of the city’s sales tax revenues, and continues to outpace previous years’ results. A large increase in

building and construction- related spending, along with an uptick in restaurant revenues, contributed to the double-digit sales tax revenue increase for the 4th quarter, 2015. Although continued lower fuel prices caused a slight dip in revenues from the fuel and services stations category, the sales tax revenue increases from the other six categories compensated for the loss.

When compared with surrounding cities, the region and Southern California, Menifee’s sales tax revenue categorically outpaced the region. Menifee reported increases nearly four times greater than Riverside County’s 2.9 percent increase and five-and-a-half times Southern California’s 2.2 percent increase.

Blair wins Best of Division for lace Joe Naiman WRITER

The San Diego County Fair’s Home and Hobby exhibit has a Best of Division award for lace crafts, and this year’s Best of Division award was given to Murrieta resident Janice Blair.

Blair’s “Thomas Lester Bedfordshire Giraffe” qualified for the Best of Division competition by taking first place in the Continuous Bobbin Lace: Bucks Point, Bedfordshire, Binche class.

“I was surprised. It was the first time I entered,” she said. “It was very nice to be awarded it.”

Blair had not previously entered the San Diego County Fair competition, but her creations have won International Organization of Lace, Inc., competitions.

The giraffe image in the lace-

work was based on a lappet, or head dress flap, from 1880s England.

The lappet was the work of Thomas Lester, who was an English lace dealer. The original lace headdress had a giraffe design on both sides. A lace teacher in New York adapted a picture of the lappet into a pattern, and Blair used that teacher’s book to make her piece.

“It was a challenge to work it,” Blair said.

Blair explained that the craftsperson needs to determine the direction of the threads. “It’s like a puzzle,” she said. “With a piece like that giraffe you have to work out for yourself which way to take the threads.”

“Thomas Lester Bedfordshire Giraffe” took Blair four to five months, although she tended to work only about two hours at a time. “It’s really intense working

like that,” she said.

Blair’s decorative work is approximately 14 to 15 inches tall and four to 5 inches wide. “It’s not functional. It’s just a pretty picture,” she said.

Blair is originally from England but did not partake in lace crafting there. She was living in Crystal Lake, Illinois, when she started her lace activity 22 years ago.

“I taught myself using books originally,” she said.

Blair eventually found other lace crafters and joined guilds. She is currently a member of Silvergate Lacers in San Diego and the Freeway Lace Guild in Pasadena. “I’m willing to travel in both directions,” she said.

Blair moved from Crystal Lake to Murrieta two years ago.

Menifee Mayor Scott Mann accepted to Harvard University Executive Program MENIFEE – Mayor Scott Mann has been accepted to attend the Harvard Kennedy School of Government’s Executive Seminar in State and Local Government this summer. Mayor Mann will be in Cambridge, Massachusetts, attending the program from July 11-29, 2016.

The Senior Executives in State and Local Government program at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government provides a balance of traditional and hands-on learning experiences to help seasoned public officials meet the changing needs of their

constituents and communities.

“I’m looking forward to learning how I can serve Menifee residents in a more collaborative way, both locally and regionally,” Mann said.

“Just like our award winning local schools, I believe in life-long learning. I’m excited about capturing new skills to challenge assumptions and conventional wisdom, to develop new frameworks for addressing policy, and engage the public in more meaningful ways.”

The John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University is a public policy and public administration school, of Harvard

University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The school offers master’s degrees in public policy, public administration, and international development, grants several doctoral degrees, and many executive education programs. It conducts research in subjects relating to politics, government, international affairs, and economics.

“This program will make me a better public servant.” Mayor Mann said.

Mayor Mann’s attendance at this program is for personal and professional development and was not funded by the City of Menifee.

CELEBRATIONS from page A-1 announced each of the couples names and how long they have been together for.

The longest married couple at Atria Park is John and Willie Shultz, whom have been together for a whopping 71 years. One thing that has never changed between the two is how much they enjoy doing absolutely everything together.

One of Willie’s friends mentioned, “She won’t eat until he comes in and sits with her.” In addition to being a beautiful couple, the two enjoy making beautiful music together for the church service at Atria Park. Willie, who has played piano since the age of five, plays while John chimes in with his harmonica.

Willie admits the secret to their

unconditional love is, “We don’t fight or argue. We let it ride and then we get over it.”

Lovers of 68 years, Ken and Laurene Monson, met through a blind movie-date together. Ken recalls the happy memory saying, “I wouldn’t let her out of my sight.” When asked what he loves most about Laurene, he simply responded, “Everything.” The soulmates have traveled the world together and have made “millions of memories.” Laurene says that the key to their relationship has been maintaining patience.

Bob and Joan Duncanson, who have been married for 61 years, met at the 1950 Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City.

Since they first met, Joan says their relationship “has only grown.”

The couple are parents of five,

grandparents of 19 and great grandparents of seven. The secret to their immaculate relationship revolves around being appreciative and grateful for whatever life throws at them. She explains, “Every day is beautiful. All we need is food to eat, a place to stay and each other … We are blessed.”

Each of the 15 life-long couples at Atria Park found their true love in different ways and in different places. Most of these lifelong lovebirds met during postwar 1940s. The admiration each couple shares for one another was evident and only strengthens as time goes on.

The event was nothing short of magical, celebrating the passionate relationships of those of America’s Greatest Generation.

Local MWD approves replacement fish screens at Diamond Valley Lake Joe Naiman WRITER

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California approved the replacement of fish screens on the inlet/outlet tower at Diamond Valley Lake.

The June 14 MWD board vote awarded a $1,885,150 contract to Abhe and Svoboda, Inc., to replace the fish screens while appropriating $2.7 million to cover other costs for the project.

Diamond Valley Lake was completed in 2000 and has a maximum storage capacity of 810,000 acre-feet. The inlet/outlet tower is east of Owen Dam and is 266 feet high. The tower has nine tiers with twin ports 7 feet in diameter which are spaced 25 feet apart and allow water to enter or exit at

different lake elevations. The flow through each port is controlled by a hydraulically operated butterfly valve. The water which passes through the tower can be diverted to the Hiram W. Wadsworth Pumping Plant, to a pressure control structure adjacent to the pumping plant, or to the Eastside pipeline which conveys water north to the Lakeview Pipeline or to the Colorado River Aqueduct.

Fish screens prevent fish and debris from being drawn into the Wadsworth Pumping Plant valves and variable-speed pump turbines, which would damage the valves and turbines. The fish screens are moved in front of the ports during lake withdrawals to prevent fish and debris from entering the inlet/outlet tower. A pulley system which is operated by a gantry crane

mounted on top of the tower raises and lowers the four individual fish screen units to the desired port elevation.

The fish screens, as well as other components of the Diamond Valley Lake infrastructure, are periodically inspected. Extensive corrosion has been observed on the lifting blocks, screen supports, and other structural elements of the fish screens. The corrosion was likely caused by the galvanic action between the stainless steel and carbon steel components of the fish screens.

In February 2014 the MWD board authorized the final design to replace the fish screens with units which would not be susceptible to galvanic corrosion. On Feb. 17, MWD advertised the project for bid. The work will include removal

CHP reports cellphone usage still up despite dangers SACRAMENTO - Despite the well-known dangers of distracted driving, the number of California drivers who use mobile devices while they drive is on the rise, according to reports.

In a study conducted by the California Office of Traffic Safety in April 2016, at least 12.8 percent of California drivers were observed using a mobile device during the day, up from 9.2 percent in 2015 and eclipsing the previous high of 10.8 percent in 2013. Due to the difficulty of observing mobile device use in a vehicle, these figures are considered minimums, with actual usage likely several points higher.

“These latest numbers are discouraging, but not totally unexpected,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “The number of smartphones in the United States has gone from zero, 10 years ago, to over 200 million today. They have become so much a part of our lives that we can’t put them down, even when we know the danger.”

California and many other states observed National Distracted Driving Awareness Month in April. The California Highway Patrol and hundreds of other law enforcement agencies conducted educational and enforcement efforts. The CHP alone organized more than 300 edu-

cational presentations and issued 13,496 citations for distracted driving violations. The OTS conducted a social media campaign urging drivers to “Silence the Distraction.”

“Distraction occurs any time drivers take their eyes off the road, their hands off the wheel, and their minds off their primary task of driving safely,” CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow said. “Any non-driving activity is a potential distraction and increases the risk of a collision.”

Data from the CHP’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System shows that in 2013, 22,306 people were involved in collisions in which distracted driving was a factor. The number of distracted driving victims in California increased slightly in 2014, to 22,652.

From 2013 to 2015, the number of drivers killed or injured in collisions in which distracted driving was a factor increased every year, from 10,162 in 2013, to 10,548 in 2014, and to 11,090 in 2015.

Despite these numbers, drivers seem less concerned about the dangers of distracted driving. The OTS study found that the observed usage rates appear to confirm previous studies, which show more drivers acknowledge to using mobile devices “sometimes” or “regularly.”

Fewer drivers believe that talking

or texting on a cellphone is a major safety problem. Meanwhile, the percentage of those who say they have been hit or nearly hit by a driver using a cellphone remains steady at nearly 60 percent.

Other significant findings in the observational survey: Though nearly all types of usage were up, typing and posting increased by more than one-third.

The highest observed electronic device use and the fastest increase in usage is in urban areas, at 9.4 percent.

Electronic device use during rush hours increased by 71 percent in 2016.

The percentage of 16-24 yearolds talking on hand-held cell phones increased from less than 1 percent every year since 2012 to more than 2 percent in 2016.

Southern California drivers hold the phone to their ear at a rate double (3.8 percent) or more than that of Central California drivers (1.9 percent) and Northern California drivers (1.4 percent).

“The study results are disturbing,” Commissioner Farrow said.

“Every time someone drives distracted, they are putting themselves, their passengers and everyone on or near the roadway at risk.”

of the existing fish screen assemblies, fabrication of new steel fish screens and installation of the new assemblies on the tower.

Nine firms submitted bids by the April 28 deadline. Abhe and Svoboda, whose California office is in Alpine, submitted the low bid of $1,885,150. The next-lowest bid of $1,920,983 was submitted

by Kana Engineering Group of Rancho Cucamonga. The highest bid was $4,193,747, but the second-highest bid was $2,310,900.

Since eight of the nine bids were below the engineer’s estimate of $2.62 million, MWD staff investigated the difference between the bid amounts and the engineer’s estimate. MWD had issued an addendum during the bid period which modified the formulation of the stainless steel alloy, and that specification change allowed for a

lower-cost alloy which would still satisfy the project requirements.

Abhe and Svoboda does not plan to use subcontractors for the project.

The $2.7 million appropriation amount also covers $145,000 for support tasks which will be performed by MWD staff including the rehabilitation of the existing gantry crane, relocating equipment to allow Abhe and Svoboda to access the necessary locations and shutdown support. The funding also includes $292,000 for construction inspection, $102,000 for submittals review, responding to requests for information and preparation of record drawings, $95,000 for biological monitoring and project management and $180,850 for contingencies.

The replacement of the fish screens is expected to be complete

by December 2017.

The EDA programs have been instrumental in training and placing veterans in Advanced Manufacturing, Logistics, Healthcare, Construction and Renewable Energy jobs.

“This grant comes through a variety of funding mechanisms, and does not impact the county budget,” said Washington.

The grant funding is made available by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, Governor’s Discretionary Funds and the Dislocated Worker Additional Assistance funds.

“The military demands dedication, discipline and adaptability – attributes that veterans bring back with them that make them valuable and highly desirable employees,” said EDD Director Patrick W. Henning, Jr. “They’ve served our country and now it’s our chance to serve these men and women by helping them to successfully transition into civilian jobs through these local veteran programs.”

This year’s Veterans Employment-Related Assistance Program (VEAP) grants are made available to organizations that meet required performance goals while assisting unemployed and underemployed veterans transition into rewarding civilian careers. The grants will help the organizations continue their successful programs and assist veterans with significant barriers to employment, including disabled, homeless and low-income veterans, as well as those who need additional education.

The Hemet City Council, on the recommendation of the city’s fire and police chiefs denied a request from the San Jacinto City Council to form a joint powers agreement for a public safety dispatch program.

The request for a quote and contract proposal for fire and EMS (Emergency Medical Services) was denied following a discussion with Fire Chief Scott Brown and Police Chief David Brown. The proposal was sent to Hemet on June 10.

However, the fire chief reported, the San Jacinto City Council met June 15 and voted to extend their current Cal Fire contract to provide Fire-EMS Services that was set to expire June 30. The extension was made for one year.

The city of Hemet, Chief Scott Brown said, “has asserted that it would not be appropriate to enter into any discussions/negotiations regarding emergency services due to contractual obligations currently in place with Cal Fire and the County of Riverside, unless formally requested by the city of San Jacinto.”

He said San Jacinto only gave Hemet 20 days to make the decision before the Cal Fire contract ran out. “That is just not enough time,” Brown said.

Chief David Brown agreed with

Scott Brown’s assessment.

Following the presentation, the chiefs and city staff recommended the council, who would make the final decision in the matter, to “deny” the formal request for a quote and contract proposal made by the neighboring city. However, the chiefs noted the city should, “Consider police level discussion and potential for future discussions with the City of San Jacinto on the feasibility of a joint public safety service delivery.” They said it would be feasible to form a JPA with other cities surrounding Hemet and San Jacinto for dispatch services in the future, but it would take time to develop to equally benefit all the cities involved.

The council 4-0 agreed with the recommendation for denial.

Council member Shellie Milne was absent and on vacation and unable to vote.

The chiefs did point out in response to the San Jacinto proposal that the “City of Hemet is a good neighbor and committed locally and as a regional partner as part of the Mutual Aid System. The city of Hemet is committed to Local Control for its Public Safety Services.”

They said the city’s “Public Safety Communication Center is one of six in the county strategically, our PSDC is a valuable asset to both fire and police.”

On improving public safety, Mayor Pro tem Paul Raven said,

“We need to work as an entire valley to find a solution to this problem. It behooves us to work with the other cities… what we need takes time… the whole system is collapsing, but we don’t give up!”

He referred to the recent defeat of Measure E in the city that would have provided additional police and fire protection to city residents.

“Sixty-two percent of the residents backed Measure E…We can be proud of this. We cannot afford to stop this inertia.”

He praised neighboring San Jacinto to be the first to bring the idea of forming a joint powers agreement on fire and EMS services.

“I applaud San Jacinto for addressing this issue. It is a difficult task,” he said.

Councilman Robert Youseff said San Jacinto did not give Hemet enough time to study the proposal.

“It takes time…a long time. It was too quick. If we do something like this, it has to be mutually beneficial to both cities,” he said, adding that he was also concerned about the legal issues and liabilities.

Mayor Wright said it is the city council’s first responsibility to provide the needed public safety services to Hemet residents first.

However, the council opened the door for further discussion on public safety issues with the San Jacinto City Council during the discussions.

Homeless veterans can receive housing assistance FRENCH VALLEY – Riverside County Economic Development Agency recently received funding to support HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) needs in the county. Riverside County has made tremendous strides toward ending veteran homelessness since the launch of the VALOR Initiative in June 2013 and most recently identified 93 veterans who are still in need of permanent housing in order to achieve this goal. The program

will help provide homeless veterans and their families who have already been identified through the Riverside County’s Coordinated Entry System with immediate access to permanent housing for the fiscal year 2016.

The program will be administered in partnership through the Loma Linda Health Care System and the Housing Authority of the County of Riverside serving veterans throughout Riverside County.

Through a voucher program, 50

Veterans will receive assistance in defraying the cost for qualified housing.

The rental assistance is coupled with Veterans Affairs supportive services to assist veterans and their families through the recovery process and with their ability to maintain permanent housing.

For more information regarding this program contact Supervisor Chuck Washington’s 3rd District office, Sundae Sayles at (951) 9551030.

Offer valid through July 31, 2016 Dear San Diego Homeowner, Hi, I'm Kent Harle, CEO of Stellar Solar and I am so excited to finally offer solar priced at a level within reach of most homeowners! This is the first time residential solar has been outwardly offered at under $3 per watt in San Diego. In 2015, most residential solar was priced between $4-$5 dollars per watt and now for a limited time we are cutting the standard cost of solar by more than 30%!

If you have ever shopped for solar you know that is an unbelievable price. So low in fact, that if you talked to our competition, they are going to say there is a catch or that it is subpar product. There IS no catch and the product is LG panels paired with SolarEdge inverters and it includes monitoring.

There are a few restrictions, but I believe that most of you that call will be able to take full advantage of this offer and that is what I want. I have already received calls saying, why did you have to drop the price so much?

We didn't have to, I wanted to. It's Stellar's commitment to continue to improve processes and drive down costs for our customers so that solar is a viable option for decades to come.

Call us today for a quick, easy, no-hassle quote.

Local HOA from page A-1 “We’ve got the right position and they’re trying to steamroller us a little bit,” said Neal Ziff, a longtime board member of the association.

“It feels very much like David and Goliath to us.”

Ziff and his Los Ranchitos colleagues claim the city reneged on a deal that the two sides struck in March 1999. They say Los Ranchitos residents do not oppose the lot itself.

They just want drivers to access it from Temecula Parkway instead of from their residential area.

City officials acknowledge the importance of the park and ride lot and its ties to the freeway work that is slated to begin later this year at Interstate 15 and Temecula Parkway.

But City Manager Aaron Adams declined to field specific questions on the differences that prompted Los Ranchitos to sue the city.

“Our vision and efforts have been to appropriately time these two projects as best we can, so replacing park and ride opportunities conveniently close to this location is a logical and prudent planning decision,” Adams said in a written statement.

A Riverside County judge has allowed the city to construct the park and ride lot at Temecula Parkway and La Paz Street. But a court order essentially stops the city from opening the lot until a resolution is at hand.

The legal showdown is taking place in one of Temecula’s most storied quadrants. It pits Temecula against a homeowner association that existed decades before the fastgrowing area coalesced into a city.

The showdown has played out in court hearings and during numerous closed session reviews by the City Council. It is not the first time the city and Los Ranchitos have squared off over growth-related issues.

The disagreement is playing out in a vital transportation crossroad that was once crisscrossed by stagecoach routes. It is set against a confluence of creeks that once was the hub of a sprawling Luiseno Indian village that gave Temecula its name.

Yet some of the most visible changes are still to come. They will include razing an existing car wash and convenience store, replacing a flawed freeway interchange and connecting the area with a bypass route that will someday skirt the city’s west side.

Growth has transformed the area around the freeway interchange, Temecula Parkway and the privatelyowned lots that are governed by the association.

Temecula was little more than a dusty outpost following World War II. Until it was sold for development in 1964 for $23 million, the 87,500acre Vail Ranch, which stretched from Vail Lake to the Santa Rosa Plateau, dominated the region.

At the time of the sale, Temecula consisted of a few Old Town streets surrounded by ranch land and, at a distance, the Pechanga Indian reservation. Los Ranchitos traces its roots to 1966 when the area’s initial developer created a smattering of associations to oversee sprouting tracts.

Over the next two decades, a succession of developers crafted a growth plan for the new community. As that unfolded, a ribbon of concrete and steel was taking shape as I-15. Highway 79 looped its way through the community.

Temecula became a city in December 1989, in part due to a backlash over the sprawling, hastilyapproved housing tracts that had been approved under the county’s jurisdiction.

The fledgling city had about

28,000 residents upon incorporation, and its southernmost freeway interchange was seen as the edge of town.

Traffic congestion soon choked all of the city’s freeway ramps and bridges. Improvements were made in succession to the ramps and bridges at Winchester and Rancho California roads.

Work to upgrade the Temecula Parkway interchange proved to be a nettlesome challenge as the city’s population now approaches 110,000.

The city purchased a 35-acre tract flanking the existing interchange in the fall of 2004 for $7.1 million.

Another 1.2 acres – land that is now blanketed by an ARCO AM PM gas station, convenience store and car wash – was added in June 2013 at a cost to the city of $5.6 million.

As the ramp improvement work was being planned and scrutinized, commuters turned the dirt-crusted city land into an unauthorized park and ride lot. Scores of vehicles can be spotted there most weekdays.

The ARCO complex and the unauthorized parking lot are now in the path of the ramp project that city officials vow will begin later this year.

The ARCO will be razed. The commuters will be shunted elsewhere.

Adams noted in his written statement that the “defacto” parking lot “will no longer be available” to commuters who participate in car pools.

For years, city officials have planned to shift the scofflaw carpoolers to the park and ride lot now taking shape at Temecula Parkway and La Paz Street. That location is within the association’s boundary, which imposes a layer of oversight not found in other locations in the city.

A timeline prepared by Los Ranchitos shows that the association and the city reached an agreement

for the park and ride lot and traffic circulation in the area in 1999. A drawing of those project plans identifies Temecula Parkway as the lot’s entrance and exit point.

The access point in that construction scenario was at Wabash Lane, a location association records say has been approved by Caltrans for a traffic signal. But those plans for the parking lot languished over the years along with the freeway ramp improvements.

By 2012, according to association records, the city had prepared new plans that showed vehicles entering and exiting the lot from Vallejo Avenue, a bucolic road that loops past many homes in the equestrian community.

Letters and meetings followed with no resolution, and Ziff appeared before the council in September 2015 to complain about the impasse.

“The design will have a very negative impact on our community, and is a material breach of the agreement

entered into by the association and the city in 1999,” according to a transcript of Ziff’s remarks.

But his appearance did not sway the council and the association filed suit the following month, according to court records. The lawsuit, however, failed to stop the city from moving forward.

On Feb. 23, the council agreed to pay a Bakersfield company nearly $1.6 million to build the park and ride lot. That contract, which calls for work to be completed over a period of about seven months, relies on the construction drawings that utilize the Vallejo Avenue access.

That construction timetable would bring an end to the work on the lot in September or October, which would roughly coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Los Ranchitos association.

On April 29, a county judge ordered that work can continue on the lot, but the city cannot allow vehicles to enter or exit it via Vallejo Avenue.

Closed session reviews of the lawsuit have been scheduled at nearly every council meeting since that action. State law allows governing boards to meet behind closed doors to discuss litigation, personnel matters and certain other sensitive issues.

Los Ranchitos leaders say they are trying to find a mutually-agreeable path forward. They still want the city to agree to shift the lot’s access point.

That could be accomplished through various means, they say.

One option centers on shared access with a commercial project that could sprout on a privately-owned parcel next to the parking lot, HOA leaders say.

“We’re trying to give them solutions to make it happen,” said Jeff Tomaszewski, the association’s board president.

San Jacinto Valley Independence Day events thrill thousands

Volunteers ready the classic San Jacinto fire engine for the annual San Jacinto Valley Independence Day Hometown Parade at the parade staging area near the San Jacinto Wal-Mart.

Festival Grand Marshal Rose Salgado and her granddaughter Avellaka Arviso, 16, at the parade staging area on San Jacinto Avenue Monday, July 4, show the golf ball key chains from the Soboba Golf Course and candy they will hand out to spectators along the parade route.

Young Jesse Jimenez and his cousin Juan Poca Jimenez enjoy cool Otter Pops passed out by parade monitors along the San Jacinto Avenue San Jacinto Valley Independence Day Parade route. Other parade float riders threw out candy treats for the children along the way. Some ran out of candy before reaching the parade route turn at Seventh Street because there were so many spectators.

Thousands of flag waving spectators, dressed in America’s red, white and blue colors lined the streets of San Jacinto to celebrate in the San Jacinto Valley Independence Day hometown parade and festival July 4, on our nation’s 240th birthday.

The parade, according to officials brought the most people out for the event than ever before. The 58 entries thrilled the spectators that lined the east side of San Jacinto Avenue and both sides of Seventh Street as it made its way to the Francisco Estudillo Heritage Park on Seventh Street and Dillon Avenue.

Rose Salgado, this year’s parade Grand Marshal at the beginning of the event said, “I’m really excited. It’s a real treat to be in the parade. It is a great small town Fourth of July parade. One the whole town can enjoy. Hemet has the annual Christmas parade and San Jacinto does the Fourth of July parade.”

Both the Hemet and San Jacinto parades welcome each other’s entries and have a joint Chamber of Commerce.

“God has really blessed me, so I can be here, “said Rose, a three-time cancer survivor and strong longtime community supporter and representative of the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians.

Equally excited along the parade route was the Juan and Flor Jimenez family from San Jacinto. “We really love it,” said Flor. “It’s fun.”

Five-year-old Jesse Jimenez waving her Ameri-

can flag, “I really like the horses, and when they throw out the candy.” She was one of the quickest retrievers of the candy many of the float riders threw out.

Jesse, her brother, watched and waited for his favorite entry, the parade cars. “I like the old cars. The jumping cars.” There were cars in the parade, some old and tricked out and some newer models with dignitaries like Assemblyman Jeff Stone (R-28 th District) who is making a bid for U.S. Congress and other state government representatives and candidates. Hemet Mayor Bonnie Wright was in the parade giving waves to everyone. San Jacinto Council members choose to meet and greet their constituents on foot.

Reminding the spectators that the “United States needs You,” on this Independence Day celebration was red, white and blue bedecked and top-hatted Uncle Sam portrayed by Jack Warnake.

Driving around and watching the floats during the parade were the parade judges and coordinators Peggy Nightingale and Dave and Penney Radtke who would be making the decision who had the best float and entry in the parade. Members of both the Hemet and San Jacinto Lions clubs were busy keeping the power going to the speakers stands along the way and taking care of the power and gazebo needs of the vendors at Heritage Park.

Other service club members pitched in to help wherever they could.

There under warm sunny skies, dozens of vendors, many promoting local ser-

vice clubs, schools, churches and public safety organizations were on hand to provide information and goods to the parade entrants and visitors.

After the parade floats stopped at Heritage Park there were bounce houses, music and food available from the vendors on hand.

There was an ice cream truck and some Italian snow cones waiting the thirsty and hot participants.

A local color guard presented the colors with festival officials leading the Pledge of Allegiance in front of the historic Estudillo Mansion. Following the pledge, Steve Alvarez, a member of a northern Indian tribe and a Red Tail Dancer and Bird Singer, brought some of his Indian dance students to perform the Ramona Blessing that tells the story of their Indian forefathers.

Joining the Red Tail Dancers was Kayla Contreras, who played this years’ Ramona in the historic Ramona Play at the Ramona Bowl in Hemet. She learned the traditional dances on her own.

“We come here every year,” said Kayla, both Ramona and Miss Hemet. “It is a family tradition for us.

Later special guest “American Idol” alumna Anatalia Villaranda, took the stage to sing out some her songs that propelled her to a place on the reality talent show’s farewell season.

The festival ended at 5 p.m. and many of the participants, spectators and local families joined hundreds of others at the annual Four of July fireworks show at Valley Wide Recreation Park on Esplanade for the evening.

Steve Alvarez, wearing the traditional Northern Indian Nation regalia seen in the traditional Indian Bird Dancing celebrations, introduces his young Bird Dancers to the crowds at the festival.

The dancers showed a number of dances done by their Native American tribes asking for blessings in all phases of their lives.

Santa Rosa Plateau summer concerts begin MURRIETA - Back by very popular demand, the deck and stage area behind the at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve Visitor Center in rural Murrieta will be transformed into an outdoor concert and art show venue, to include six Saturday evenings of tribute concerts and art beginning July 9.

The summer concert series Live! @ the Plateau…is held in conjunction with the Santa Rosa Plateau’s Annual summer art show “Celebrating Nature through Art and Music.” The popular art show is now in its 19th year. The concerts will be held on the six Saturdays during the duration of the art show beginning July 9 through Aug.13. While the art show is free to the public during the day, starting July 10, the Saturday night concerts and art show will require a ticket. On each concert, gates open at 5:30 p.m. Bring your own chair.

Art Show Detail: For the past 18 years the Reserve has hosted a summer art show that has grown in popularity and stature. Focusing on local artists, the art show will feature the works of some 25 local artists conveying the celebration of nature in a wide range of media from pen and ink, oils, watercolor, sculptures, textures and glass. The art show is free to the public during the day beginning Sunday, July 10, until Aug. 14. The art show will be open during the Saturday night concerts, but will require an admission ticket, purchased in advance.

Live! @ the Plateau Lineup Saturday nights July 9 - OPENING NIGHT: Tribute to John Denver Music starring Jim Curry praised as one of the top performers of John Denver’s music. Curry is not your usual “Vegas style” impersonator. In fact, he is not an impersonator at all. Jim sings, in his own natural voice, a tribute to the music in a way that has to be seen and heard to understand the pure honesty of his amazing performance. His looks and his voice are simply a pleasant coincidence that captures the true essence of John Denver’s music. Curry’s heartfelt delivery rolls out into the crowd as multiplatinum hits like “Rocky Mountain High,” “Annie’s Song” and “Calypso” fill the room.

July 16: The Killer Dueling Pianos. This local, very popular and

talented duo will bring their brand of “laugh your socks off” impromptu musical performances fueled by audience requests to the concert line up. Bring your list of favorite tunes, from any musical genre, and be prepared to be thoroughly entertained and embraced into an evening of pure fun and laughter. Tune up your signing voice as you too may be at center stage to sing with the Killer Dueling Pianos.

July 23: Tribute to the Beatles by the The Silver Beatles. California’s premiere Beatles tribute band, provides an uncanny reproduction of the sound and the magic of the Beatles. This talented band, which is home based in Southern California, will take you on an audio “Magical Mystery Tour” visiting the entire Beatles repertoire along the way.

You are sure to enjoy if you love the Beatles, from the Ed Sullivan years through Sgt. Pepper’s and beyond.

July 30: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac by the Little Lies Band. A local band with a wide reputation for capturing through their beautiful reproduction of Fleetwood Mac’s classic hits fills the listening audience with the warmth and contentment only achieved by accomplished musicians who simply love what they do. “The Greatest Fleetwood Mac Tribute Show in Southern California.” --Tom Boecking, City of San Gabriel. This band is returning from the 2015 season and sold out before the season began!

Aug. 6: Salute to the Eagles

by Heartache Tonight. ‘Heartache Tonight’ is the most authentic sounding tribute to The Eagles available.

Made up of the members of the very popular Woodie and the Longboards Beach Boys Tribute, Heartache Tonight have been singing four and five part harmonies together for years.

With five different singers, they capture the vocal nuances of The Eagles. They also feature the three guitar approach that is necessary to truly recreate the Eagles’ unique blend of country and rock.

Aug. 13: CLOSING NIGHT. Willie Nelson Tribute by Roger Hegyi and The True Willie Band.

Because of overwhelming request from concert goers in 2015, True Willie comes back to the Plateau to close out the 2016 summer season.

A band chosen as the most authentic and convincing tribute act to Willie Nelson in America. The True

Willie Tribute Band is fast becoming the first choice with audiences across America. “Roger looks and sounds so much like The Man that fans and friends are convinced that he and Willie were twins separated at birth!” Not just a Willie Nelson “impersonator,” Roger has found a way to reach into the musical soul of Willie Nelson and share it with audiences wherever he performs.

Concerts will be held on the new outdoor stage behind the Visitor Center. The art show will be inside the Visitor Center. Deli dinners and concert tickets must be purchased in advance. Wine, craft beers, sodas and water will be available for purchase on-site. Attendees will enjoy a wide array of craft beers provided by the Temecula and Murrieta-based Garage Brewing Company.

A unique feature of the concerts will include all performances interpreted in American Sign Language for the deaf by Doug Beatty, a retired counselor from the California School of Deaf in Riverside.

“We are very excited about the introduction of music into the construct of our annual summer art show” says Rob Hicks, naturalist and interpreter with the Riverside County Regional Park & Open Space District. “We hope this unique event will inspire attendees to support and understand the important work the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature

Audiences like this one last year will once again be on hand at the planned summer concert series at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve outdoor stage beginning July 9. The reserve is located at 39400 Clinton Keith Road in Murrieta.

Education Foundation is doing to reconnect children to nature.”

The Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve Visitor Center’s outdoor stage and deck is located at 39400 Clinton Keith Road in Murrieta and is presented by the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation and hosted by the Riverside County Regional Park & Open Space District.

Directions Special equipment: 2 wire racks; 2 rimmed baking sheets Adjust 2 oven racks to the top and bottom thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Put the wire racks in the baking sheets and coat each generously with cooking spray.

Combine the flour and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine the eggs and 3/4 teaspoon salt in another large plastic bag; combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a third large plastic bag.

Add about a half of the zucchini sticks to the bag with the flour and use a combination of your hands and shaking the bag to coat the zucchini.

Remove the zucchini and shake off any excess flour. Transfer to the egg wash and repeat until coated.

Let any excess egg drip off before transferring to the breadcrumb mixture; repeat until fully coated.

Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and coat the breaded zucchini generously with cooking spray (there’s no need to turn them). Repeat with the remaining zucchini.

Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom about halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

W

hen I was growing up my dad always grew zucchini in his garden so we had it with many dinners.

He preferred his vegetables wellcooked which made zucchini mushy so I did not think I liked it.

Later on, a friend of mine made steamed zucchini at her house and I discovered I like zucchini after all.

We always seemed to end up with more zucchini than we knew what to do with; zucchini plants tend to do that. Our recipe collection back then was limited to cooked zucchini with butter on it, zucchini bread and fried zucchini (sliced long-ways) which Dad ate on sandwiches.

Cooks have gotten more creative in the last few decades and we

also have the internet to discover a variety of new ways to prepare zucchini.

Besides making soup with it and adding it to an endless number of dishes, zucchini can be fried or baked as chips or fries, baked as boats full of meat or veggie mixtures, or fixed as a substitute for pasta (in the form of ribbons or spaghetti).

Zucchini can be baked in many ways – cut in half lengthwise, in slices or strips, any of which can be brushed with olive oil and seasoned with herbs and/or the grated cheese of your choice. It can be chopped up and combined with other veggies for a salsa, or

grated and added to pancake batter or made into veggie patties.

Sliced as rounds, zucchini can be layered into a lasagna, used for a mini pizza base or served as a cracker replacement under your favorite toppings for appetizers. Cut in long slices, zucchini can be part of a cool salad or used in making sushi (for the outside wrap). Even the blossoms on a zucchini plant can be stuffed, dipped in batter and fried (removing the stamen first).

So, if you are growing zucchini in your garden, you now know what to do with all that zucchini.

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium.

2. Discard the outermost slices of zucchini; brush the rest with oil on both sides. Sprinkle the zucchini slices with salt and pepper. Grill until tender, about 4 minutes per side. (The zucchini can be prepared a day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.)

3. In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese or cream cheese and lemon juice, mashing together with a fork.

4. Spread a tablespoon of the cheese mixture down the length of each zucchini slice. Top with a parsley and a piece of red pepper.

5. Roll up each slice and tie it tight with a green onion stem.

6. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Alyssa Ayala proves daily that “If you dream it you can achieve it”

As a member of Hemet-Ryan’s Civil Air Patrol, Alyssa Ayala has learned many skills that have helped her Courtesy photos prepare for her planned career as a helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army.

As a Commanding Officer in the Inland Empire Military Explorer program, Alyssa Ayala has received invaluable training for her planned future military career.

Among the many other skills she learned in the military explorers program, Alyssa Ayala was taught the proper and safe handling and use of a variety of firearms.

Alyssa Ayala maintained a 4.2 GPA and was valedictorian when she graduated from San Jacinto Valley Academy.

Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Alyssa Ayala is a young adult who has set goals for herself and knows exactly what she wants to accomplish in life. Through her high school studies and her volunteer work in her community, she has proven she knows how to work hard to achieve the goals she sets for herself, while maintaining an extremely high personal standard. A life-long Disney fan, one of her favorite quotes has always been Walt Disney’s, “If you dream it you can achieve it.”

While in high school, Ayala had to learn to balance her community activities and school work because she knew community service was an essential key to her future success.

“I really had to learn how to balance my time during the school year and I had to learn how to overcome procrastination,” Ayalla said. “I had very little social time with friends and I spent many nights studying for tests and working on essays and projects.”

In addition to her school studies and being part of the National Honor Society, Ayala has also always been very involved in community service organizations. She was in the Girl Scouts for 10 years and is active in the Inland Empire Military Explor-

ers as a Commanding Officer for the program.

While she was a Girl Scout, Ayala participated in many community activities including feeding the homeless and volunteering her time to help in community cleanup projects.

As a member of the Inland Empire Military Explorers, Ayala participated in countless various activities such as working at various airshows.

Ayala explained, “Being a member of the military explorers program was a great opportunity to further my military leadership skills.”

In addition to her other extra-curricular activities, Ayala has also been a member of Hemet-Ryan’s Civil Air Patrol Squadron 59 since 2010.

“Being in the Civil Air Patrol has been a great experience and has enhanced my leadership skills,” Ayalla said. “Being a First Sergeant in the program I help in running each weekly meeting; assisting with inspection and drill, guiding my flight sergeants and flight commanders, and being an overall leader for the cadets in my squadron.

“I started as a young, inexperienced cadet and this program transformed me into a leader and teacher,” Ayala explained. “The best part of my involvement is all the community activities we do.

Having the opportunity to be able

Now that she has graduated, Alyssa Ayala plans on attending Rocky Mountain College in Montana, where she will be joining the Montana National Guard while studying aeronautical sciences and aviation.

to participate in these organizations really helped with my involvement in the community.”

In addition to being actively involved in her community, Ayala recently graduated as valedictorian from San Jacinto Valley Academy with a 4.2 GPA. Now that she has graduated from high school, Ayala plans on attending Rocky Mountain College in Montana in the fall to pursue a major in aeronautical sciences and aviation. She will also be joining the college’s Army ROTC and plans on joining the Montana National Guard.

While in college Ayala plans on attending the school’s aviation program so she can get her commercial pilot’s license and eventually become a helicopter pilot for the U.S. Army.

Ayala will be getting a scholarship from the Army National Guard that will help with her tuition. Additionally, she was recently awarded a $1,000 scholarship by the Hemet & San Jacinto Republican Women’s Federated Club, where she read an essay she wrote about the United States Constitution and what the it means to her.

“I am very grateful for the United States Constitution,” Ayala said after her speech. “Since I would like to serve in the near future, I felt

extremely connected to the opportunities the Constitution gives us all and I am looking forward to serving our country.”

Ayala said she believes the United States military is a great advantage for every individual.

“Fighting for the rights of our people and the Constitution is a privileged opportunity for a small sacrifice,” she said. “I would give my life for the safeguard of the United States and I would die for my country. I would more than willingly go to the front lines of combat and fight for what I believe in. Dying in combat – even if that meant

sacrificing myself – would be one of the most honorable ways to die. I believe that every individual in the United States should have this mindset, and not be afraid of combat.”

Ayala said she is a proud American female, who would fight for her country, and would die while doing it.

Considering everything she has already accomplished and the goals she has set for herself, Ayala continues to prove that with the right motivation and a willingness to work hard there is nothing she cannot achieve.

Vista Murrieta’s Michael Norman once again named Gatorade National Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

For the second time in two years, Michael Norman stood shocked in front of a packed gym at Vista Murrieta High School. It just so happened that it was also the second time in two years that Norman was named the Gatorade National Boys Track & Field Athlete of the Year.

The Gatorade Player of the Year program, in collaboration with “USA TODAY” High School Sports, annually recognizes one winner in the District of Columbia and each of the 50 states that sanction high school football, girls volleyball, boys and girls cross-country, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, baseball, softball, and boys and girls track & field, and awards one National Player of the Year in each sport.

The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the track, distinguishes Norman as the nation’s best high school boys track and field athlete. A national advisory panel comprised of sport-specific experts and sports journalists helped select Norman from nearly 580,000 high school boys track and field athletes nationwide. He is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade Male High School Athlete of the Year award, to be presented at a special ceremony prior to The ESPY Awards in July.

Norman, who is set to attend the University of Southern California in August, had another recordbreaking season loaded with accomplishments including winning the 200-meter dash in 20.42 seconds and the 400-meter dash in 45.77, while also leading the 4x100 and 4x400 relays to victory.

The popular track star also won two individual state titles and an-

chored two first-place relays at the state meet this past season, leading the Broncos to the state championship as a team, ran a personal-best time of 20:23 in the 200 and his season-best 45.51 in the 400 both ranked as the nation’s No. 1 performances among prep competitors in 2016 at the time of his selection and earned a personal-mark in the 200 that places him fifth in U.S. prep history in the event.

Other accomplishments for the stellar athlete included producing a personal best in the 100-meter dash this season as well, clocking a 10.27, which was this spring’s No. 2 time nationwide while maintaining a 3.61 GPA in the classroom.

Norman was also a member of his school’s Do Good Things community service club; volunteered on behalf of the Special Olympics, St. Martha’s Food and Pantry for the needy and the Temecula Time Machine track club’s youth program. He has also donated his time as part of the Buchanan Elementary School Fall Festival, the Vista Murrieta Shoe Drive and the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure to benefit cancer research.

Add all of those accolades to the

running list that Norman has accumulated over the last four years, some of which include, winning the 400-meter dash at the 2015 Brooks PR Invitational with a time of 46.38 and capturing the championships in the 100-meter dash at 2015 Adidas Grand Prix Championships.

Not to mention, Norman participated in the USATF Junior Outdoor Championships Sunday, June 26, where he not only ran the 200 in 20.15 seconds, but set the California state record. His time qualifies him for No. 3 in the event all-time in the U.S. “Norman has PR’d this year in both the 100 and the 200, with his cumulative 100/200/400 times adding up to the greatest range for any dasher in prep history,” said Rich Gonzalez of Track & Field News.

“His 200 time against a good headwind a month ago at the time was the second-fastest time in the world against a headwind in 2016 and his legal 10.27 performance in only his second true 100 race of the season is stunning.”

The VMHS graduate has been competing in the Olympic Trials since July 1 to see if he qualifies for Team USA, who are getting set to

This year celebrates the 31st anniversary of the Gatorade Player of the Year program. In that time, Gatorade has honored more than 13,000 State Players of the Year and 270 National Players of the Year, including many of today’s top professional athletes. For more information, visit www.gatorade. com/poy.

“Michael is an exceptional student-athlete who has earned recognition as the nation’s best high school boys track and field athlete while also excelling in the classroom and making a difference in his community,” said Gatorade Chief Marketing Officer Morgan Flatley.

“Michael’s statistics on the track speak for themselves, but even more impressive is the impact he has had on his teammates and the example he sets for younger student-athletes.

Michael represents everything we look to celebrate in a Gatorade Player of the Year recipient.”

Jordan Reyes SPORTSWRITER/VALLEY NEWS INTERN

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Chaparral High School, along with the Temecula Youth Baseball league, recently awarded Jake Hitch the Schools First Credit Union $300 scholarship. Hitch, who graduated last month, was recognized as a student that exemplified the Citizen-Scholar at Chaparral in 2016. Who receives the award is at the discretion of the Principal. Schools First Bank provides the award to each individual.

Jake will continue to play baseball as a student athlete at Cal Lutheran University.

The Temecula Valley Inline Hockey Association (TVIHA) recently wrapped up their spring recreation season which yielded a record 181 players. The end of the season tournament for the spring competitors took place last week and winners were crowned in the 8U, 10U, 12U and 15U divisions.

In the 8U division the top seeded Red Wings pulled away from the third seeded Stars to win the championship 11-4. The Red Wings were led all season by the scoring of Frankie Gallegos and compiled a 9-1 record in the regular season before winning their 2 playoff games.

In the 10U division the top seeded Blackhawks defeated the 3rd seeded Avalanche 5-2. Leading scorer Giovanni Gueli tallied a hat trick and goaltender Mallory Martinez stymied the Avalanche with her best game of the season including the glove save of the season in the third period.

In the 12U division the third seeded Sabres won their semifinal in overtime over the second seeded Ducks, then upset the undefeated and top seeded Capitals 8-5 in the championship game. Kenny Silhan

and Kaiden Mertzel led the Sabres in a great team effort.

In the 15U division the third seeded Flames upset the top seeded Senators 9-5. The Flames who struggled with scoring most of the season put it all together on the right night as goaltender Daniel Alkhatib held off the potent Senators offense.

The Temecula Warriors, which are predominantly the top recreation league players in TVIHA just wrapped up their season of tournament hockey. All four teams (8U, 10U, 12U & 14U) had successful seasons and in total the teams won 7 weekend tournaments and competed well in many others.

“It was another great season for us at TVIHA, says President Tom Bilek. “The upcoming fall season promises to be even bigger.”

Signups for the fall 2016 recreation season are now open at www. tviha.com with player assessments scheduled for Aug. 6 & 13.Tryouts for the 2016/2017 tournament season will take place Aug. 16, 18, & 27.

Local female baseball player makes history, signs pro contract

Temecula’s Kelsie Whitmore is surrounded by media after making her debut with the Sonoma Stompers Baseball Club Friday, July 1.

Kelsie Whitmore, 17, of Temecula, who just signed to play professional baseball with the now co-ed Sonoma Stompers, will be playing softball for Cal State Fullerton in the spring.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

SONOMA, Calif. -- It’s been said by many a fan of the game that the world is close to seeing the likes a female professional baseball player take the field with men in the near future. With the most recent of transactions taking place just days ago, involving one of Temecula’s very own female baseball players, the reality is much closer than people think.

Kelsie Whitmore, a recent graduate of Temecula Valley High School, has been playing baseball her whole life, at the most competitive levels there are for both boys and girls that play the sport. The 5-foot-6, 17-year-old outfielder and pitcher, earned a Gold Glove in baseball with the Golden Bears varsity baseball team this past season and was given the Victory with Honor award in both baseball and soccer. Also an avid golfer, who tried her hand at volleyball during her high school years as well, Whitmore’s resume extends beyond the high school level. She is also a two-time USA Women’s National Baseball Team gold medalist at the 2015 COPABE Pan American Game qualifier in La Vega, Dominican Republic and at the 2015 Pan America Games in Toronto, Canada and brought home a silver medal at the 2014 WBSC Women’s World Cup in Miyazaki, Japan.

Whitmore, who was signed last November by the Cal State Fullerton Titans softball program, just inked a second contract, but this time one that absolutely makes her a trailblazer for the advancement of women in baseball.

Along with Team USA teammate, 25-year-old pitcher/infielder Stacy Piagno from St. Augustine, Florida, both have been recruited and will play with the Sonoma

Stompers throughout the remainder of the season.

The Stompers, part of the independent Pacific Association of Professional Baseball Clubs, will be the first coed professional baseball team since the 1950’s when Toni Stone, Mamie “Peanut” Johnson and Constance Morgan achieved the distinction of becoming the first women to play alongside men in the Negro Leagues. The independent baseball club has had two players in its history signed by Major League Baseball organizations, as Sonoma’s own Jayce Ray was signed by the Boston Red Sox in 2015 and Santos Saldivar was signed by the Milwaukee Brewers shortly before the 2016 season.

“I am honored and blessed for this opportunity that the Stompers have given me,” Whitmore said.

“Signing [a professional contract] was amazing and I am very excited to start my professional career.

This is just the beginning. I am focusing on taking each day at a time so that I can become a better baseball player and get to the next level.”

The opportunity to promote the recruitment, development and advancement of women in baseball came about as Francis Ford Coppola’s Virginia Dare Winery (Geyersville, CA) began working with the Sonoma Stompers to actively start searching for the best women baseball players in the United States earlier this year.

“My family would play coed baseball games and inevitably the star player would always be an aunt who could run and hit and that made the games so much more fun,” said Francis Ford Coppola in a recent press conference. “When watching major league baseball, I always wondered why there couldn’t be a coed team. It’s the one major sport in which weight and strength come less into play.

So when my Sonoma winery became involved with the Stompers, I had the opportunity to turn this

thought into a reality and recruit these amazing women capable of playing alongside men.”

The Piagno/Whitmore duo began playing with the Stompers Friday, July 1, when Sonoma took on the San Rafael Pacifics.

When the starting lineups were announced, in front of a sold out crowd of 900 people, there they were, two female baseball players, proving they can compete with men -- a milestone moment that will last beyond just one night.

Piagno started the game on the mound and lasted into the third inning before being lifted with no outs by Sonoma manager Takashi Miyoshi. Piagno worked two innings, gave up five hits, four runs, one earned. She hit one batter and walked two others, with no strikeouts. Whitmore made a few plays in left field, took a walk her first time to the plate and struck out swinging in her final at-bat.

Beyond the simple fact that this was a historic moment for women in professional baseball, Miyoshi viewed the event pragmatically, the way a manager should.

“I was surprised at first,” he said.

“The only thing I wondered about is how they could put up with the speed.”

Miyoshi was not only referring to the speed of the pitches but also the overall pace of the game, the throws to bases, the base running, chasing down fly balls. Piagno thought it was necessary for fans as well as the players to look at women playing baseball in an honest light.

“We are not going to overpower batters,” said Piagno, a righthander who along with Whitmore is on the roster for Team USA that will play this September in the Women’s Baseball World Cup in South Korea. “That’s just not realistic. I’m not going to throw 97 (mph). My job is to keep the ball down, keep it low. When we hit, we don’t have to hit home runs.

Just get base hits. We’re not really trying to come out and set records,

we are doing this because this is the game we love.”

What the dual debut this past Friday night meant to the many young girls in attendance and the women who share their love for baseball was this: They now have two living, breathing examples that women can play the game, on the same field as the men. Fox is actually currently developing a pilot right now on this subject, “The Pitch,” and discussions are on the rise more and more by top analysts of the game. Last week a roundtable of reporters who cover Major League Baseball, said they believe it’s likely we’ll see a woman in the MLB in the coming decades, and he put the time horizon at less than 50 years if it indeed happens.

Whitmore and Piagno both hope it comes sooner than that.

“Thanks to the vision of Francis Ford Coppola, the Stompers are dedicated to the advancement of women in baseball,” said Theo Fightmaster, Vice President and General Manager of the Sonoma Stompers Baseball Club. “While many believe it’s only a matter of time before we see a woman playing in the MLB, we’ve learned over the past several months that there are many steps in between where we are and where we should be in terms of woman in this sport.

We hope this sends a message to the rest of the baseball world that there is room for women and girls in this game – from Little League to the Major Leagues.”

Whitmore’s signing with the Stompers will not affect her plans of playing collegiate softball with the Titans as baseball and softball are two different sports and she will still fall under the required amateur status in the sport of softball. Whitmore, who has aspirations of playing on the 2020 USA Women’s Baseball Team, will continue to keep her skills sharp on the diamond while at Cal State Fullerton as she will do some training with the Titan baseball team under the tutelage of Rick Vanderhook.

Cal State Fullerton softball head coach Kelly Ford gives Whitmore her full support as she said, “I

A summer of learning is just out the front door Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The weather is warm and school is out, but learning experiences shouldn’t end there. The summer months can provide plenty of opportunities to continue a child’s advancement through different activities and programs.

According to a University of Missouri-Columbia study, students can lose up to three months of what they learned during the school year over summer break. To help avoid that loss of knowledge, here are

some helpful brain-boosting activities to keep your child’s mind sharp this summer.

electronic devices to ensure your child gets the most out of his or her outdoor experience.

Super summer camps One way to tie together fun and learning is to enroll your child in a summer camp. Whether the camp is down the road or across the country, children can gain valuable life lessons – such as independence, social skills, resiliency and teamwork – all while staying physically active. A little technology-free time wouldn’t hurt, either. Try seeking out a camp that doesn’t allow cellphones or

Family fun time While a summer camp might send your youngster far away, a family vacation keeps children right by your side. A trip together as a family, even as short as a one-night camping getaway, can provide a variety of life lessons and unexpected learning experiences. Visit a national park or even a zoo for some science-related exploration and a chance to spend time with nature.

Head to the library To try and bring out the bookworm in your child, a trip to the library is an easy place to start. Of course, reading programs provide the simplest way to put literature in children’s hands, but many libraries offer programs to get children involved. Look for art and craft programs at your local library, such as an origami class or doodling session, for additional ways to jog your child’s brain.

MANY STRENGTHS. ONE MISSION.

Books for bonding A family book club is a great way to increase bonding time while also encouraging a love of reading.

Your children will love digging into stories about dinosaurs, exploring outer space and reading about the biology of deep-sea creatures. After finishing a book together, discuss the plot, characters, themes and more in an interactive fashion that allows each family member to take part in the literary discussion.

From reading to writing All of that reading just might give children motivation to put thoughts into words of their own. A journal is a great place for any child to write about summer trips, memories with friends or draw quick sketches.

On top of recordkeeping, children can learn to create stories of their own, such as the ones they read in fictional books about their favorite characters, superheroes or animals.

Celebrating science Because science is everywhere, it’s easy to make every day a learning experience that inspires curiosity for your little one. Something as simple as bird-watching or taking a walk around the neighborhood can give your child a chance to view nature in action. Schedule some time outside when the view is at its best, such as early in the morning when birds are singing or just before dusk as the sun sets over the horizon.

Equine therapy proves helpful to those with developmental disabilities

Patients feed the therapy horses carrots at the Villa Chardonnay Courtesy photos equine and animal sanctuary.

#1PHYSICAL THERAPY

in the Inland Empire Fastest Growing Physical Therapy Operation in California!

H H H A LegAcy of exceLLence H H H

Dr. Deborah Varos, Villa Chardonnay CFO Louise Gardner, Alexa Paylado-Kisner owner at APK Serene and Monika Kerber, president of Villa Chardonnay pose for a photo during a recent event where adults with developmental disabilities received equine therapy.

SAN MARCOS – Villa Chardonnay, the largest equine and animal sanctuary in southern California has formed a partnership with the Pacific Coast Learning Center of San Marcos and APK Serene of Oceanside.

The partnership is dramatically benefiting the patients at both learning centers. Each learning program provides services to a wide variety of adults with developmental disabilities. Many of these people have severe cognitive impairments and are transitioning from institutional life to enjoy the benefits of community living.

Equine therapy with the gentle horses at the Villa Chardonnay sanctuary are just what the doctor ordered. “I see such a strong connection between all of the animals at the sanctuary and the individuals we serve,” Dr. Deborah Varos, owner of PCLC said. “The lives of the animals parallel that of our patients.

They are all living in a place that has given them another chance and, as a result, they are starting to flourish.

I saw Mikey, a patient that I have worked with for years who does not communicate verbally, actually start to laugh out loud and giggle as he was feeding carrots to the horses.

I have seen him smile but never laugh. He was absolutely giddy! It was an incredible moment. All of us who witnessed it shed tears of joy.”

Over 40 patients accompanied by staff visit with more than 200 horses, goats, donkeys, dogs and cats at the “special needs” animal sanctuary. Feeding carrots to the horses is an especially fun event for the patients and the horses. They all relax and enjoy the interaction.

Some patients had never seen a horse in real life before visiting the sanctuary, as many have spent years of their lives institutionalized. With the amazing support of the PCLC and APK Serene they are finally enjoying more freedom and something incredible like visiting, touching and feeding the animals, Varos explains Alexa Paylado-Kisner, owner at APK Serene and Monika Kerber, president of Villa Chardonnay both say they are impressed with the quick results of the program. They are working together to expand the program to include a special equine therapist who will bring a new dimension to the program with specific methodologies developed to promote emotional growth.

Equestrian therapy is particularly applied to patients with ADD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, dementia, delay in mental development, Down syndrome and other genetic syndromes, depression, trauma and brain injuries, behavior and abuse issues, and other mental health issues.

Currently they are all seeking to expand the program, several of the patients are in wheel chairs making it difficult to get around the ranch.

“We are raising funds or donations of golf carts to help the patients get around better, we have one, but we need a few more. We also need a van or small bus to help transport the patients from the facilities to the sanctuary. And of course funding for an equine therapist who specializes in this type of therapy.” said Louise Gardner, CFO at Villa Chardonnay.

Villa Chardonnay was founded by Monika Kerber and Louise Gardner.

The organization has rescued hundreds of abandoned or neglected

animals, mainly horses, providing food, shelter, medical care, dental care and nurturing during the past 13 years.

MVUSD sends $220 million proposed budget to Sacramento Tony Ault WRITER

The Murrieta Unified School District Board of Education adopted the district’s 2016-17 budget June 23 showing expected revenues of $221,617,377 and expenditures of $220,253,989 with school attendance expected to be about the same.

The 187-page budget presented the board at their last meeting was inclusive of all the expected revenues coming in from state, federal, county and local sources and the needed expenditures expected for the coming school year.

The approved budget is being sent to Sacramento for final approval.

The district is expecting to serve an estimated 22,285 students this

school year, as compared to the approximately 22,250 students attending last school year, representing a very small enrollment change. The district revenues depend largely on the students Average Daily Attendance based on the previous year.

The latest budget is based on a simplified state school finance method with what is called a Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) adopted in 2013-14. Under the LCFF funding formula, K-12 schools receive base amount of funding for every student they serve. In addition to the base funding, LCFF provides supplemental funding for each student who is an English learner, foster youth and for students who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Last year the budget report said that, “in Murrieta Valley Unified School District approximately 35 percent of our students fall into one of these categories. This additional funding is intended to help eliminate the achievement gaps that exist for students who live in poverty, English learners and various ethnic groups.”

The reports show that the anticipated 2016-17 school year revenues of $221,617,377 will be up from the 2015-16 revenues of $220,253,989 mainly because of increased LCFF funding for the district. The revenue breakdown shows that the LCFF funding this year will be $177,470,925; Federal revenues, $7,368,341; other state revenues, $20,144,568; and local revenues at $16,633,543, for a total

of $221,617,377.

The $220,253,989 in anticipated expenditures will provide for the student population’s education, facilities, maintenance and teachers and other things for the year will include the largest expenditure for the teacher’s salaries (certificated) set at $106,534,544. Other expenditures anticipated are for classified workers (bus drivers, food service, aides, maintenance personnel, etc.) $37,165,006; employee benefits, $48,839,161; books and supplies, $7,440,244; services and other operating expenditures, $18,408,922; and capital outlay, $1,866,112. The expenditures total $220,253,989.

While the anticipated revenues are on the rise, the costs of operating the district from teachers to maintenance needs have risen across the

board from last year.

MVUSD has 1,038 teachers, 763 classified and 147 support employees on its payroll, according to reports.

The difference in revenues and expenditures of a mere $136,339 to the positive is a major change from last year’s budget estimates.

Last year the difference was much higher to the good, that was used to reduce the prior year’s deficit.

This year the proposed budget seems to be more balanced and does give teachers and staff needed pay increases.

The complete proposed budget can be found on the MVUSD website www.murrieta.k12.ca.us under the board’s agenda reports.

Pet owners’ lifestyles will factor heavily into how much their pets will Courtesy photo enjoy their new homes.

TEMECULA – Buying or adopting a pet is a big decision that requires careful consideration of a host of factors. The right pet for one person might not be the best match for another, and it’s imperative that prospective pet owners consider a host of factors before welcoming a new pet into their homes.

Lifestyle: Pet owners’ lifestyles will factor heavily into how much their pets will enjoy their new homes. Men and women who are rarely home should avoid adopting pets that need lots of attention.

For example, dogs often adapt best to households where their owners are home a lot and can spend ample time with them. But men and women who aren’t home all that often can still welcome pets into their families. Fish don’t need to be walked or let out to relieve themselves, and they also don’t command their owners’ constant attention.

Restrictions: Renters and people living in co-ops or condominium complexes may need get permission before they can bring pets into their homes. If you don’t own your

own single-family home, determine if you need permission and if your building has any guidelines governing pets before you begin your search. You don’t want to bring a pet home only to be forced to give the animal up for adoption because you did not adhere to the rules listed in your lease or owner’s contract.

Skills: Pet ownership can be incredibly rewarding, but it has its frustrating moments as well. For instance, men and women who have never before owned a puppy may be biting off more than can chew by bringing a young dog into their homes. If you have no experience training puppies or no desire to put up with a puppy’s growing pains, then consider adopting an older dog that is already housetrained.

Cost: Pet ownership can be expensive, and prospective owners should examine their finances to determine if they’re ready and capable of taking on the financial commitments of owning a pet. Research costs associated with food and veterinary care to get an idea of how much owning a given pet is likely to cost.

Bank of America awards 5 Inland Empire teens paid internships RIVERSIDE — Bank of America recently announced that five high school juniors and seniors from the Inland Empire region have been selected as BofA Student Leaders.

The program offers young people who are engaged community citizens an opportunity to build their workforce and leadership skills through a paid summer internship at a local nonprofit organization, like Michelle’s Place, and participation in a Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. Early employment opportunities are a critical steppingstone for young people entering the working world.

When young people can’t access early employment opportunities that build their skills, they are at risk of being left behind and not finding a meaningful job in today’s competitive workforce, according to employment reports.

With local youth unemployment

rates at 18.6 percent in San Bernardino County and 17.7 percent in Riverside County, Student Leaders connects high school juniors and seniors to summer employment that helps develop their workforce skills and supports their long-term financial success, in turn helping the economic progress of the Inland Empire.

“It’s important for us to connect young people to the education and training they need to enter the 21st century workforce,” said Al Arguello, Inland Empire market president, Bank of America. “The Student Leaders program provides them access to real-world experience that helps them develop valuable skills and build a solid foundation for future financial success.”

“Michelle’s Place is thrilled to once again host a Student Leader this summer as it allows us to share our mission with a talented and motivated youth that cares about making a dif-

ference in our community,” said Kim Goodnough, Executive Director, Michelle’s Place. “This Student Leaders program not only makes a positive impact on the youth but truly provides real value to our organization.”

The five Inland Empire Student Leaders are Brooke Porter, a Riverside resident and recent graduate of Thatcher School, who is interning at The Community Foundation; Melissa Gomes, an Ontario resident and recent graduate of Colony High School, who is interning at Inland Empire United Way; M’Kya Williams, a Temecula resident and recent graduate of Temecula Prep School, who is interning at Boys & Girls Clubs of Southwest County; Nandeeni Patel, a Murrieta resident and rising senior at Vista Murrieta High School, who is interning at Michelle’s Place; and Pamela Abeka, a Highland resident and recent graduate of San Gorgonio High School, who is interning at Ar-

rowhead United Way. These five students will join the more than 200 other Student Leaders from around the country in Washington D.C. on July 10-15 for a Student Leadership Summit. As part of this weeklong convening, students will discuss how to build a more diverse and inclusive society, gain a better understanding of how cross-sector collaboration creates community impact and become part of a network of community leaders that will support their citizenship and engagement.

The students are joining a network of more than 55 student alumni from the Inland Empire and an alumni cohort of more than 2,200 Student Leaders across the country.

Bank of America is focused on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors as critical to fulfilling its core purpose of making people’s financial lives better. A commitment to growing business responsibly is

embedded in every aspect of the company, from its policies and practices to BofA’s services, products, governance and employee benefits.

An important part of that commitment is forming strong partnerships across sectors, including nonprofit organizations serving community needs, bringing the bank’s collective networks and expertise to achieve greater impact.

“We’re proud of our employees’ volunteer efforts, support of diversity and inclusion, and environmental and social responsibility. Across our company, we’re focused on simplifying banking and investing, advancing better money habits and making an impact in communities around the world,” say BofA officials.

MENIFEE – A woman was hospitalized after she was reportedly stabbed during a fight Sunday, July 3, at a residence in Menifee. The stabbing occurred in the 27600 block of Avenue Interno.

of the reported fight.

Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Menifee Police Station, Cal Fire/Riverside County firefighters and AMR paramedics rushed to the location and quickly located the victim.

While deputies converged on the area to search for the alleged

suspect in the stabbing, paramedics treated the victim at the scene before they transported her to an area hospital. Her wounds were described as non-life-threatening.

It was not immediately known what the motive for the stabbing was or what part the reported fight played in the woman’s stabbing.

The victim has not been publicly identified.

Deputies are conducting an active and ongoing investigation of this incident. Anyone with information regarding this stabbing is encouraged to contact officials at the Perris Police Station at (951) 210-1000.

Roaring fire displaces 8 but contained from brush TEMESCAL VALLEY– A housefire raged Sunday, July 3, in Temescal Valley and about 60 firefighters struggled to prevent it from spreading

to nearby vegetation before puitting it out.

The blaze was reported around 6:10 a.m. at a 1500-square-foot home

in the 11300 block of Dawson Canyon Road, east of Interstate 15 in Corona.

The Corona Fire Department was called in to assist the Riverside Coun-

ty Fire Department, fire officials said.

Firefighters prevented its spread into brush at around 7:45 a.m. The American Red Cross was called to

assist the eight displaced people whose home had been destroyed, fire officials said.

Nobody was injured in the fire.

Felon found guilty of killing car wash manager Paul J. Young SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Robbins was a trained kickboxer.

Wesley didn’t have a chance.”

Deputy Public Defender Scott Kirkendall viewed the circumstances differently, saying “the jury got it right.”

“I’m grateful they followed the evidence and took the time to thoughtfully go over the details of this case,” Kirkendall told CNS Robbins repeatedly looked toward the ceiling, appearing to pray as the verdicts were read. He embraced Kirkendall after the jury left the courtroom.

Uyekawa’s family and friends sat in stunned silence.

Along with the manslaughter count, the jury found the defendant guilty of assault resulting in great bodily injury, which carries a higher maximum sentence than the manslaughter charge.

This was Robbins’ second trial.

The first one ended in January with the jury deadlocked 9-3 in favor of convicting the defendant of second-

RIVERSIDE – A felon who fatally stomped a 60-year-old Menifee car wash manager during a dispute over missing clothes was convicted Friday, July 1, of involuntary manslaughter and other charges.

A six-man, six-woman jury deliberated one day before finding 39-year-old Jeremy Joseph Robbins guilty in the death of Wesley “Wes” Uyekawa during a 2014 confrontation at the McCall Storage & Car Wash.

Robbins could receive 16 years in state prison when he’s sentenced

by Riverside County Superior Court Judge Elisabeth Sichel Aug. 12 at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

“I’m very disappointed in the jury’s verdict,” Deputy District Attorney Michael Lough told City News Service outside the courtroom. “This defendant stomped a frail, vulnerable man to death. Mr.

degree murder.

Lough based his case on a security surveillance videotape that captured most of the March 23, 2014, confrontation.

The prosecutor reconstructed events leading up to the encounter, beginning with Robbins’ visit to the car wash on the afternoon of March 22, when the Lancaster man left the business without retrieving dry-cleaning that he’d placed on a fence. Another car wash customer later snatched the articles.

Robbins returned the next morning and became visibly upset when he couldn’t find his clothes, eventually knocking repeatedly on the glass door to the business, at which point Uyekawa answered.

The video recorded no sound as the victim and defendant spoke for the first time uneventfully. Robbins departed the business, but surveillance video showed him coming back 20 minutes later. By that time, Uyekawa had gone into the apart-

ment adjacent to the main office, where he lived on-site.

Cameras captured Robbins making his way to the residence, from which Uyekawa emerged moments later carrying a birdcage pan, appearing ready to empty it. The video showed Robbins gesturing aggressively and apparently pushing the victim into a thorn bush.

The ensuing 30 seconds were obscured by a wall. However, Uyekawa later told sheriff’s investigators that Robbins turned violent, punching him in the face and causing him to fall, at which point he grabbed onto the defendant’s leg.

Lough alleged that Robbins stomped the older man’s stomach before fleeing the scene.

“It was a misunderstanding between the two,”’ Kirkendall said.

“Jeremy is kind of a buffed guy, with long hair and tattoos. I think Mr. Uyekawa was a bit intimidated and didn’t want anything to do with

him. Jeremy felt like Mr. Uyekawa didn’t want to help find his clothes.

Jeremy couldn’t understand why Mr. Uyekawa was being unhelpful and seemingly evasive.”

According to the attorney, Robbins punched the older man in the face when it appeared the victim was going for a weapon – which was actually a mobile phone in his pocket.

“When Mr. Uyekawa fell, he grabbed onto Jeremy’s leg, and when Jeremy couldn’t shake him loose, that’s when he stomped him in the stomach,” Kirkendall said.

Robbins fled, and sheriff’s deputies arrived a short time later and had Uyekawa transported to a hospital to be examined, but he was released a few hours later. He was found dead in his apartment the next day from a ruptured small intestine.

Robbins has a prior conviction out of Ventura County for making criminal threats.

Felony charges filed against man accused of brandishing gun at children in pool BANNING – A probationer accused of waving an unloaded handgun at children playing in a Hemet apartment complex pool was charged Friday, July 1, withmultiple counts of brandishing a firearm and child endangerment.

Martrell Laloane Coleman, 23, was arrested Tuesday night after he allegedly threatened children

at the Devonshire Apartments in the 2700 block of Devonshire Avenue.

Coleman is charged with a dozen counts of brandishing a gun and eight counts of child endangerment, all misdemeanors.

The defendant was slated to make his initial court appearance this afternoon at the Banning

Justice Center.

About 8 p.m. Tuesday, Coleman allegedly confronted nine children and several adults cavorting in the apartment complex pool, while appearing to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, according to Hemet police Lt. Jeff Davis.

Coleman, who resides at the location, “was armed with a .44

caliber revolver,” Davis alleged.

“The children fled to the poolside restroom prior to law enforcement’s arrival,” the lieutenant said. “The children were hiding inside the restroom in fear.”

Patrol officers arrived moments later and immediately detained Coleman without incident. Davis said the gun wasn’t loaded.

No one was injured.

According to court records, the defendant has a misdemeanor driving under the influence conviction from March, for which he was sentenced to 36 months probation. He also has a misdemeanor trespassing conviction from 2012.

Newly Opened Murrieta YESplace Gives Youth Entrepreneurial Guidance

YESPlace founder Denis Nurmela welcomes guests attending the YESPlace grand opening at the Murrieta Innovation Center, June 29. YESPlace is a program that provides youth and at-risk-youth opportunities to be assigned a business mentor that he or she will meet with for a full year to learn about business entrepreneurship, marketing/sales and other skills related to becoming an entrepreneur.

MURRIETA – Murrieta’s Young Entrepreneur Success Place, or “YESplace”, had its formal opening June 29 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony sponsored by TEDxTemecula and the Temecula Chamber of Commerce. The center is devoted to assisting young people ages 12 to 25 develop their entrepreneurial skills to a new level through an array of lectures, seminars and workshops.

Volunteer professionals are also available to guide passionate youth through their aspirations and provide life-coaching.

Founded in 2012 by Denis Nurmela, with the goal of building YESplace mentoring centers around the world, the YESplace shares professional office space with the Murrieta Innovation Center. In 2015, the City of Murrieta provided a 2,000 square foot home to the YESplace as part of Murrieta’s commitment to being the “Future of Southern California.”

The YESplace will have effects felt much farther than just in the local community. The YESplace is

equipped with radio and television stations that broadcast empowering messages to people globally. Speaking about business and success, show guests have featured local entrepreneurs, celebrities, Olympic gold medal winners, motivational speaker Zig Ziglar’s son, Tom Ziglar and people who have overcome huge life challenges.

Nurmela is all too familiar with the importance of giving young people resources in their communities.

“We feel we have a great privilege in bringing the first YESplace to the youth in Murrieta and our surrounding areas. This is a very special community with lots of resources who are willing to share their talents with our YESplace youth,” Nurmela said.

To participate in YESplace’s mentoring activities, either as a youth or volunteer mentor, visit YESplace. org or the YESplace located at 26442 Beckman Court, Suite Y in Murrieta.

Wildomar nonprofit honored with ‘Child and Family Advocate of the Year’ award WILDOMAR — The tireless work of a Wildomar-based nonprofit to brighten the futures of local at-risk youth, many whose parents are incarcerated, has not gone unnoticed.

Bob and Mona Davies, co-founders of Community Outreach Ministry, were honored June 3 with the Child and Family Advocate of the Year award from HOPE Collaborative, the child abuse council of Riverside County.

The award, which recognizes exemplary dedication and commitment to the youth of local communities, has been given annually since 2013 to a person or organization in each of Riverside County’s five supervisorial districts.

County Supervisor Kevin Jeffries nominated the Davies for this year’s District 1 award.

“I was honored to nominate Bob and Mona Davies for the 2016 HOPE Child and Advocate of the Year Award because they serve the needs of a very vulnerable and at-risk population of youth whose parents have been incarcerated,” Jeffries said.

Through Community Outreach Ministry, the Davies offer summer camps for vulnerable youth. They also provide year-round access to mentoring, and for the past several years have held Angel Tree Christmas parties, distributing gifts to more than 200 children.

“This population often goes undetected in the child welfare and education systems, putting them

further at risk,” Jeffries said. “The resources Bob and Mona provide help to prevent these youth from entering the juvenile/criminal justice system by breaking the cycle of crime, poverty, illiteracy, violence, delinquency, school dropout and destructive behaviors which leads to a lower incidence of generational incarceration.”

More than 60 percent of the youth served by Community Outreach Ministry come from Lake Elsinore, which along with Wildomar, is part of the District 1.

“We feel richly rewarded as the 1st District recipient of the 2016 Child and Family Advocate of the

Year Award presented by the HOPE Collaborative and Riverside County board of supervisors,” the Davies said.

The award came on the heels of Mona Davies’ completion of her doctoral dissertation titled, “Breaking the Cycle of Incarceration: Stories of My Work as a Missionary to Children of Incarcerated Parents,” published by the United States Library of Congress.

“The model provides innovative programming for children of incarcerated parents, caregivers and incarcerated parents to help break the cycle,” she said.

Local author honored in 2016 Indie Book Awards TEMECULA – “Wedding Scary Tales – Stories & Advice from a Pro in the Know” by Temecula resident Jennifer Molloy has been named by the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group as one of the best indie books of 2016.

Molloy’s book is a finalist in the Gift/Specialty/Novelty category in the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the world’s largest not-forprofit book awards program for independent publishers and self-published authors.

The awards are judged by leaders of the indie book publishing industry, including many coming from longstanding careers with major publishing houses, to identify books that deserve to reach a wide audience.

“Our awards program is known as the ‘Sundance’ of the book publishing

world,” says Catherine Goulet, Chair of the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards program.

In an article at CNN.com titled “If it’s cool, creative and different, it’s indie,” journalist Catherine Andrews wrote: “The term ‘indie’ traditionally refers to independent art, music, film, literature or anything that fits under the broad banner of culture, created outside of the mainstream and without corporate financing.”

Independent book publishing companies are independent of the major conglomerates that dominate the book publishing industry. The indies include small presses, larger independent publishers, university presses, e-book publisher and self-published authors.

According to Goulet, “Like other independent artists, many indie book publishers face challenges that the

industry giants don’t experience. The indies have to work much harder to get their best books into readers’ hands.”

Molloy says of her win, “This was a wonderful surprise after all the work it took to get my words on paper. After over a decade as a wedding planner, this book was something I’d been told by countless friends and colleagues to write over the years. To see it as a finalist is the best feeling! I hope that the book is both a means of information to couples planning their wedding as well as a source of entertainment for those obsessed with the wedding world.”

According to Bowker’s Books in Print database, more than 2.3 million books were published or distributed in the United States alone in 2012, the most recent year for which complete figures are available. A majority of these (more than two million books) were “nontraditionally” published, including print on demand and selfpublished titles.

The number of self-published titles produced annually in the U.S. has increased dramatically, growing 437 percent from 2008 to 2013.

Jennifer Molloy’s book is available on Amazon in both a print edition and as an e-book.

A complete list of 2016 winners and finalists is available at the Next Generation Indie Book Awards website at www.indiebookawards.com.

In May, “Breaking The Cycle of Incarceration” received the endorsement of Frank Lofaro, CEO of Washington, D.C.-based Prison Fellowship International, a global association with affiliates in over 120 countries whose mission is to focus on justice and reconciliation by promoting dignity and rehabilitation of offenders.

The Davies and Prison Fellowship’s Angel Tree have been partners for 15 years caring, sharing and saving the lives of children of incarcerated parents in Riverside County.

The Davies accepted their Child and Family Advocate of the Year award as part of the third annual

HOPE awards dinner held in Riverside.

“Something very powerful happens when someone goes above and beyond to help others, especially our youth,” HOPE Collaborative stated in a letter announcing their selection as the award recipients. “This compassion and dedication multiplies the strength of service and the end result is lives being changed and impacted.”

Five advantages of composite when building or replacing a deck?

Wood is increasingly being replaced by composite decking as the Courtesy photo material of choice for outdoor spaces.

composite decking offers all the beauty of wood without the hassles of continuous upkeep.

“Today’s homeowners want to spend their time enjoying their outdoor living spaces – rather than maintaining them,” said Adam Zambanini, vice president of marketing for Trex, the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking. “Highperformance composite decking stands up to weather and day-to-day wear far better than wood. It’s also made from recycled content, which makes it an ideal choice for today’s eco-conscious consumers.”

Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Here are five key advantages of using composite decking:

Nearly 40 million decks in North America are projected to be more than 20 years old – and likely showing their age, according to the North American Deck and Railing Association. If one of those decks is yours,

you may want to think twice before choosing the material for your next deck.

Long the go-to material, wood is increasingly being replaced by composite decking as the material of choice for outdoor spaces. Designed to deliver incredible durability, easy maintenance and lasting beauty,

homeowners also can find a wide selection of composite accessories, such as railings, stairs, gates, pergolas and furniture, to create a truly customized outdoor space.

ing it safer and more comfortable for families with kids and pets.

Low-maintenance With composite decking, you never need to worry about sanding, staining or painting. Just an occasional soap-and-water cleaning is all that’s needed to maintain stability and beauty for decades. Trex decking even comes with a 25-year Fade and Stain Warranty, ensuring that it will continue to look and perform as well as the first day it was installed.

Sustainability Composite decking provides the look and feel of wood without the environmental impact. The deck boards are made using recycled content, including reclaimed industrial wood scraps and recycled plastic from common items such as shopping bags and newspaper sleeves.

Aesthetics Featuring high-definition wood grain patterns and rich, saturated colors, composite decking looks and feels more natural than ever before. Color options range from deep earth tones to spicy reds and pristine greys, including tropically-inspired boards that feature the distinct streaked look of exotic hardwoods. In addition to the range of decking looks available,

Durability Composite decking is designed for maximum durability. It resists fading, staining, scratching and mold, and won’t rot, crack or warp. It’s also insect-proof and splinter-free, mak-

Value Although the initial cost of composite decking can be higher, when you factor in the cost of ongoing maintenance required with a wood deck, a composite deck can end up paying for itself in well under 10 years.

be all you need to transform a space.

For example, if kitchen cabinets are in good condition, see if they can be refaced or painted instead of replaced entirely. Install new door pulls/handles to add visual interest.

Look for some ready-made items, such as bookshelves, instead of installing custom carpentry.

Think about what the buyer wants and not what you want. Renovate with an eye toward prospective buyers’ needs. Keep things neutral and accommodating. Research the latest trends to understand what buyers might be seeking in a home. You want potential buyers to envision themselves moving right in.

Renovating a fixer-upper takes time, but it can be a worthwhile project, and one that can help anyone turn a profit in a booming real estate market.

of the areas that will need renovation. With this list, begin getting estimates on how much money the work will entail. Determine if this fits with your budget or not. You do not want to invest so much that it exceeds what you could feasibly recoup when it comes time to sell.

Overlook cosmetic things when visiting properties. Cosmetic issues include all of the easily replaceable items in a home, such as carpeting, appliances, interior paint colors and cabinetry. Focus on the bones of the house Ñ the architectural integrity and those little touches that you envision having a “wow” factor.

Seek the help of experts. Some flippers think they’ll save the most money by doing all of the work themselves. This isn’t always the case. Professional architects, designers and contractors may help you save money. Contractors have an intimate knowledge of where to buy materials and may be able to negotiate prices based on wholesale or trade costs. In addition, experts can help you avoid common pitfalls because they’ve already done this type of work time and again. It’s smart to rely on expert advice, even if it means investing a little bit more.

Save money by doing some work yourself. While the pros may tackle the more complex parts of a given project, such as rewiring electricity or changing the footprint of a home, you can still be involved. Ask to participate in demolition, such as taking down walls or removing old materials from the home. Such participation may be fun, and it can save you substantial amounts of money on labor.

How to transform a fixer-upper TEMECULA – The real estate market will always have its ups and downs, but real estate is an oftprofitable investment. Real estate investors do their investing for various reasons. Some see a house as a place to hang their hats for years and years, while others look at properties as nothing more than investments.

Buying a home with the intent to fix it up and resell it is called a “fix and flip.” In such situations, investors buy homes at belowmarket prices before refurbishing the homes with the goal of recouping their initial investment and then some when the homes are ultimately put back on the market. Flipping has become popular for both expert remodelers and novice investors.

RealtyTrac, the nation’s leading source for comprehensive housing data, noted in its “Year-End and Q4 2015 U.S. Home Flipping” report that 5.5 percent of all single family home and condo sales during the year were flipped properties. This marked an increase from the same time the previous year.

Investing in a fixer-upper requires a leap of faith and a vision of what the home can look like in the future.

Turning a real estate lemon into lemonade requires certain skills and a good measure of patience.

The following are some guidelines to get anyone started.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Make an honest assessment of your abilities and which renovations, if any, you can handle. If you are unskilled or inexperienced working with your hands, then it can be easy for an investment property to quickly become a money pit.

Before purchasing a property, hire a trained home inspector to tour the home with you and point out all

side to dry. Pyramids now include tabs and slots on the bases so they can be screwed down to make permanent finishing platforms or joined together to create more stable temporary applications.

Redtree Finishing Brushes feature beaver tail-style hardwood handles and hand-trimmed chisel edge bristles.

Unlike Microfiber Tack Clothes, regular tack clothes do not work for finishing with water-based products. But a 12-pack of washable and reusable Microfiber Tack Cloths will work.

SAN DIEGO – Strawberries, watermelon and juicy tomatoes are among the summer picnic staples at risk if bee colonies continue to collapse at unprecedented rates.

Environment California gathered with local bee farmers and the public to discuss the importance of saving the bees June 23.

Bees pollinate most of the world’s most common crops, including seasonal favorites such as peaches, asparagus and cherries. But the U.S. is losing about a third of its bee colonies each year, alarming beekeepers, farmers and chefs along with environmental advocates.

On June 23, Environment California staged a picnic ‘with bees’ at Balboa Park to illustrate the impact bee die-offs could have on a popular summer pastime: a table replete with watermelon, lemons, chips and guacamole – some of the many foods we would lose if we lose the bees.

“One of the best things about summer is the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables,” said Jaqueline Salinas, citizen outreach director with Environment California.

“But what fun is summer without guacamole? That’s why we need action to save the bees.”

Scientists point to the increased use of and exposure to a class of

pesticides known as neonics as a major cause of the recent increase in bee deaths, which have brought the U.S. population of the pollinators to historic lows.

Major garden retailers such as Lowes and Home Depot are phasing out sales of the chemicals, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is currently evaluating the impact of four types neonics of pollinators.

Environmental advocates are urging Environmental Protection Agency to suspend use of the dangerous pesticides now and speed up the timing of the impact study,

currently not scheduled for completion until as late as 2018.

Joining with a broad range of groups in DC this week for a rally and celebration of “pollinator week,” representatives from Environment California delivered 16,000 petitions to EPA asking for a ban on neonics.

“Given the facts we have at hand about the links between neonics and bee die offs, EPA should move boldly and swiftly to stop any and all uses of these dangerous chemicals,” said Salinas. “For the sake of the bees and our favorite summer foods, there’s no time to waste.”

High value one and two story homes still available at Heritage Crossings

WILDOMAR, CA – The indisputable home value at Heritage Crossings has brought the neighborhood to near completion. But, for a fortunate few, a limited number of single-level and one 2-story

home remain available. Created by Griffin Residential at The Farm in Wildomar, Heritage Crossings has the kind of unbeatable value that comes along once in a lifetime.

Homebuyers are urged to hurry

to the community and discover how much more they can afford at Heritage Crossings. Starting from the high $300,000s, this is a collection that works for people of every age and life stage.

“The impressive open space design of our Residence 1 home makes it ideal for family gatherings and entertaining,” stated Emily Griffin, vice president of Sales and Marketing at Griffin Residential. “You can picture the family coming on holidays, with room for everyone to relax in comfort and keep their traditions alive and growing.”

The single-level plans feature four bedrooms, up to three baths, and 2,351 square feet. A spectacular kitchen qualifies as the heart of the home with a large breakfast bar island, sleek, Whirlpool® stainless steel appliances and beautiful granite countertops with backsplashes. The kitchen

How to recognize water damage in a home that damage can manifest itself in various ways. The following are some telltale signs of water damage that should give prospective homebuyers pause and compel current homeowners to seek professional assistance as soon as possible.

Plumbing problems may ultimately result in costly Courtesy photo water damage.

TEMECULA – Homes are potentially susceptible to a host of problems. While unforeseen problems can prove costly, homeowners who keep attentive eyes on their homes can oftentimes discover small problems before they escalate.

Water damage is a potentially costly problem that can afflict any home. Old homes tend to be most susceptible to water damage, and

Stains Many prospective homebuyers have been disappointed by the sight of water stains during an open house or home inspection. Water stains tend to be on ceilings and/or walls. Stains on ceilings tend to be round, while wall stains are straight lines down the wall that may or may not have forced paint to peel. Water stains are not necessarily indicative of a major problem, but homeowners should have the stains examined by a professional while potential buyers should direct their home inspector’s attention to the stains.

Deteriorating wood Wood around windows or doors that is deteriorating may indicate water problems. The wood might be deteriorating because water is infiltrating the wood during storms. Baseboards and molding that is dilapidated or beginning to deteriorate may also indicate water damage.

Buckled drywall or wood Drywall or wood that is buckled or beginning to buckle is another potential indicator of water damage. Drywall buckles when it gets wet, and that is often a sign that there is a leak behind the drywall.

Severely buckled drywall will feel as if it has ridges. Wood also buckles when it is exposed to excess moisture and this can usually be felt when walking on the wood barefoot or in socks.

Odor Sometimes water damage is best detected by the smell test.

Homeowners who notice the smell of mold or mildew in rooms that previously never emanated such odors might have homes that are in the early stages of water problems.

The water damage might be behind the walls, where mold is beginning to form. Older homes tend to be musty, but call in a professional if you notice that mustiness is more pungent than usual. Water damage is a potentially costly problem, especially if it goes unnoticed for months or even years. Homeowners and prospective homebuyers should be on the lookout for signs of water damage before problems escalate and require expensive repairs.

also functions like a dream with expansive cabinetry and a huge walk-in pantry. The large great room has an abundance of space for seating and dining with direct access to the large backyards.

Residence 1’s master suite features a spa-inspired bath with separate shower and soaking tub, twin sink vanities, a separate toilet room and a large walk-in closet.

The remaining Residence 2, two story home measures approximately 2,907 square feet with four bedrooms, three baths, a bonus room and a three car garage. A downstairs bedroom and adjacent bath make multi-generation living possible. The open design of the island kitchen, great room with dining area and access to the outdoors creates a spectacular setting for large entertaining. The master suite is large with plenty of natural light, and a bath that includes soaking tub, separate shower, twin sinks and separate vanity table.

The large walk-in closet is generously proportioned.

The Farm features a wide array of recreation amenities, including pools, tennis, volleyball, tot lots and a release fishing pond. Yet the homeowner’s association rate of $67.00 per month and a low tax rate of 1.3 percent make living here both affordable and rewarding.

and San Diego counties for all the Southern California has to offer.

To reach Heritage Crossings, exit the 15 freeway at Bundy Canyon Road and drive east. Turn right on Harvest Way and follow the signs to the sales center.

Supremes move back alley to Main Street Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

I remember it as though it were yesterday. I developed a fever and stomach cramps. Assuming it was the flu, I went to bed to sleep it off.

When my husband came home and found me with a temperature of over 103 degrees, he insisted on taking me to the doctor despite my objections.

Upon examination, my doctor determined I had a dangerous infection and left a waiting room full of patients to accompany us to the hospital while his staff called ahead.

Once there, I was immediately placed

in a room where my own doctor ran tests and administered emergency treatment himself without waiting for the hospital staff to determine my condition or be brought up to speed. I later learned that these measures likely saved my life.

It turns out this doctor had encountered another patient with similar symptoms a few months earlier. He immediately sent her to that same well-respected hospital. However, this woman died due to the delay in admittance and treatment. If you have recently visited the local ER, you know what I mean. Even patients brought in by ambulance often are not

As you know, my Assembly duties keep me in Sacramento at least four days a week for most of the year. Staying informed and up-todate about local issues or about how pending legislation may impact the district is essential, especially from 500 miles away. In-office meetings, phone calls, letters, emails and faxes are important tools that keep me in touch with you, the people I serve.

One example that demonstrates the importance of direct contact recently involved state policies impacting local hospitals that threatened the availability of healthcare in our region. District and Capitol office meetings were held with representatives from area hospitals to discuss a bill I was co-authoring to roll back state mandates that would cost the hospitals millions of dollars. Fortunately, with local stakeholder support, the bill eventually passed and was signed into

law by Governor Brown. In another recent case, concerned convenience store managers met in my District Office and in the Capitol in an ultimately successful effort to block legislation that would have led to industrywide revenue losses, layoffs and store closures throughout California.

Since January, my offices have received over 2,100 emails, faxes and letters from private citizens, business owners, and local agencies including water districts and city governments, asking for help or expressing concerns about pending legislation and other state-related issues. These types of communication are very effective and are an essential part of the legislative process. Without citizen involvement of this type, representative government is simply not possible.

I need to keep hearing about the important issues that concern you.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me at assemblymember.waldron@ assembly.ca.gov or through my website at https://ad75.asmrc.org/.

The portion of the Texas law struck down Monday by the Supreme Court required abortion facilities to meet the same standards as other outpatient surgery centers and the doctors doing those procedures have admitting privileges in a hospital within a 30-mile radius. It was reasonable. In fact, it was the very least a woman seeking an abortion should expect!

I suspect that most women undergoing an abortion at one of these facilities believe that to be the case. After all, abortion advocates are quite vocal about making these procedures safe, legal and rare. Those who follow this issue have long recognized that the “rare” part is a farce. However, it is unconscionable that radical feminists’ organizations and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who shill for the National Abortion Federation, are willing to turn Main Street into a back alley in order to protect the profits of this despicable, money-grubbing ally.

It also calls into question the ethics of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the trade organization that applauded this decision. It seems it is simply reluctant to kill, or even slightly wound, the Santa Clause of the abortion industry.

In contrast, the 17,000-member Christian Medical Association filed an amicus brief in support of the Texas law, along with other respected

Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt on whether requiring abortion facilities to meet the same standards as other outpatient surgery centers is reasonable or burdensome largely on the word of those who are making a killing from these procedures. Abortion is a billion dollar a year, largely unregulated industry. Those five justices who struck down the Texas law simply bought the arguments provided by the NAF and its partners in this dirty business that these minimal facilities pose “no threat to women’s health.”

Would these same justices buy a claim from tobacco growers that smoking poses no series health risk?

Of course not!

Central to the majority argument is that an undue burden occurs when these facilities aren’t as conveniently located as Starbucks. How ridiculous is that?!

If doctors can be sued for malpractice, the five justices who issued this decision should be impeached for judicial malpractice.

Correction Dear Editor, Thank you for printing the press release for the Boy Scout Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award.

When I read the release, I realized you had gotten an earlier draft.

The information about the award and event is correct, however, I was never an Eagle Scout. I was a Boy Scout, but never managed to become an Eagle Scout. I want

medical groups. This brief made the point that all comparable outpatient procedures are done in ambulatory surgery centers properly equipped to deal with emergencies that do occur and where doctors are required to have hospital admitting privileges for the very reason I illustrated from my own personal experience. It can mean the difference between life or death.

These comparable procedures include dilatation and curettage “D&C” (which for all practical purposes is no different than an abortion), liposuction and gastrointestinal endoscopy, such as colonoscopy and upper endoscopy.

In fact, the overall hospitalization rate following elective abortion (1 in 300 patients) is similar to rates for these other invasive outpatient procedures.

The only difference is that when emergencies occur in a fully equipped outpatient surgery center, these patients receive more immediate, often life-saving care.

The amicus brief filed by the American Center for Law and Justice documented 38 cases of women being rushed to hospitals just last year from complications that occurred inside those unregulated abortion chop shops that dot our landscape.

In addition, the ACLJ brief, in 24 single-spaced pages, detailed instance after instance of botched abortions, leaving women injured, permanently scared or dead.

It is unfathomable that the Supreme Court based its decision in Whole
