F.U.N. For All

Local Business Converts to a Worker Cooperative In an effort to reduce the unemployment rate in Anza

By Joy Edwards

The F.U.N Group’s meals take a lot of effort to prepare and serve. A dedicated group of individuals comes together to make that happen. From left to right: Terry Seddon, Samantha Satterfield, Joenie Miranda, Nikki Carr, Cheryl McKee, Janet Stewart and Steve Testasecca.

Todd Kelsey Local Contributor Hi, neighbors! Hey, I have a secret to share with you. At least it was unknown to me (some of you may have been aware of this over the last year or so).

What I’m talking about is the free F.U.N. food get together at Anza Community Hall on Sunday, June 29. What a time, what a time!

On the last Sunday of every month, from 1-3 p.m., a wonderful

local group called Friends Uniting Neighbors (F.U.N.), dishes out free food for anybody and everybody lucky enough to be there. Some Sundays they feed more than 400 people. They also have clothing and toys to give away as well.

On that last Sunday they offered up barbeque chicken, hot dogs, deli salads, homegrown garden salads and more. They also offered up a mouth-watering variety of desserts.

In fact, most of the time they offer famous Julian pies, courtesy of

Garner Valley neighbor Ron Donnelly. I heard Ron throws in a ham or turkey sometimes, too!

Now I know serving out free food isn’t that unique. However, the feeling I got being there at the Hall and seeing well over a hundred of our neighbors of all ages getting to know one another was beautiful.

There were a lot of hand-shakings, back-pattings, and hugs for good measure, too.

If you’re not familiar with F.U.N., they were founded just over

a year ago by our neighbors Donald and Terry Seddon, and Adam and Katie Lynn.

They don’t do it alone though.

They have a core of 15 or so members who help in all sorts of ways.

I counted at least 20 volunteers helping on that Sunday.

Friends Uniting Neighbors also delivers free meals every Monday and Thursday to at least 60 families in Anza Valley as well.

High Country 4-H Elects new officers for 2014-15 4-H Year

by Allison Renck Local Contributor The local 4-H club, High Country 4-H, met on June 18 at the Anza Community Hall for their general membership meeting.

As usual the meeting starts off with their ongoing community service project of picking up trash around the Community Hall. In 4-H, youth are encouraged to give back to their communities by doing local service projects; the monthly trash pick-up is one of these projects that all the members take part in.

The new business items for the general meeting were campaign speeches and election of new officers. Every member that was running for office gave a campaign speech that highlighted their qualifications for the position they wanted to be elected to.

Austin Ryan, the candidate running for president, had made a campaign poster, which he displayed

Fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of a healthy diet.

But many people do not eat the recommended number of servings of produce. That’s especially true among growing children, who can benefit greatly from the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide. see page B-7

We are quickly approaching what could be one of the worst wildfire seasons in history, due in part to one of the most severe droughts on record. Minimizing the damage caused by wild fires requires everyone’s awareness.

Hard News Three people confirmed Murrieta fire chief released from hospital dead in plane crash Michelle Mears-Gerst alert, lucid and recovering at home. ert’s face. At first, Shobert thought near Ortega Highway “He’s made a quick turn-around,” he had been wounded by gunfire, LAKE ELSINORE - Three people aboard a small plane were killed Sunday when a wing clipped a tree and crashed in the Santa Ana mountains, off the Ortega Highway near Lake Elsinore, authorities said.

Firefighters were dispatched at 9:22 a.m. to an area near the Lookout Roadhouse restaurant, in the 32100 block of Ortega Highway, in response to a small fire.

The Riverside County Fire Department confirmed the fatalities.

Cal Fire reported that one of the plane’s wings had clipped a tree, causing the single-engine aircraft to crash.

The fire was sparked by a Piper PA28 Cherokee airplane, which crashed into a cliff. Its tail number would not be released until relatives of the three people were notified, the Federal Aviation Administration reported.

Witness Alan Scott told ABC7 the plane appeared to lose power when it barely cleared power lines and tried to “climb’’ upwards.

It’s not certain if wind played a role in the crash, according to ABC7. There were no other reports of injuries or fatalities. The fire was contained to less than an acre, authorities said.

Police arrest 18-yearold high school student in connection with restaurant burglary LAKE ELSINORE - A burglary suspect was arrested at Lake Elsinore High School in connection with last month’s break-in of a Canyon Lake restaurant, a sergeant said today.

Coleman Bennett, 18, of Wildomar, was arrested at the high school Thursday. Two teens were also arrested but it was unclear if they were taken into custody at the same location.

Bennett was booked for suspicion of conspiring to commit a felony and second degree burglary.

He remained in custody today in lieu of $5,000 bail, records showed.

Dispatchers received a 911 call at 2:40 a.m. June 26 from the Canyon Lake Lodge, and learned the suspects forced their way into the business, Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Ryan Hoxmeier said.

Murrieta Fire Chief Matt Shobert was released from the hospital July 4, after being hit in the face by a rock during a brush clearing operation.

Shobert was discharged Friday night from Loma Linda University Medical Center where he underwent a four to six-hour operation on Wednesday.

Fire officials called the incident a “freak accident” involving a large mowing machine at the Bear Creek gate community in Murrieta.

“He has a long road ahead,” Murrieta Fire Capt. Matt Corelli said of Shobert. Shobert was reported to be

Corelli said.

The veteran firefighter was appointed Murrieta fire chief in 2011.

He will be placed on indefinite administrative leave. A battalion chief is expected take the helm at the fire department during the interim, Corelli said. Shobert was not available for comment today.

Shobert was standing about 100 feet away from a machine clearing brush operated by a maintenance person on a slope. The fire chief and the other Murrieta firefighters were on hand to oversee the job in clearing out the dried brush, Corelli said.

The machine apparently struck a rock, which was flung into Shob-

which prompted him to get in his vehicle and drive about 50 feet away from the site. Shobert pulled over to make a distress call, Corelli said.

Paramedics took the injured fire chief to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar and he was later flown out to Loma Linda University Medical Center in Loma Linda, where he was initially listed in critical condition upon his arrival, a hospital representative said. Corelli could not recall another time when something like this ever happened during his time with the Murrieta Fire Department.

Police arrest five outside immigration protest in Murrieta Alex Groves Editor Officers from the Murrieta Police Department arrested five people this afternoon as pro-immigration and anti-immigration protests picked up steam outside the Murrieta Border Patrol station located in the 2500 block of Madison Avenue; those individuals engaged in a confrontation with the officers, according to a report from the department.

The report alleges that officers received information about an as-

sault that occurred shortly before 4 p.m. this afternoon and contacted 22-year-old Janet Mathieson, one of the protesters, to see if they could get information regarding the assault.

Mathieson was uncooperative and police attempted to arrest her for obstructing their investigation when 33-year-old Pouyan Bokaei interfered with the officers and attempted to free Mathieson.

Two additional officers became involved with the confrontation.

Three more protesters got involved and attempted to prevent Bokaei

and Mathieson from getting arrested shortly thereafter; they were 26-year-old Jacqueline Sanchez of Los Angeles, 25-year-old Jessica Rey of Menifee and 24-year old Salvador Chavez of Los Angeles.

Mathieson was arrested for obstructing an officer and battery of an officer while the remaining four were arrested for obstruction of an officer and lynching. It wasn’t clear at this time what side of the immigration protests the five individuals were on.

MURRIETA - A woman accused of allowing her 2-year-old granddaughter to drink a cup of tea laced with methamphetamine was charged today with child endangerment and possession of illegal drugs.

Cynthia Ann Watson, 51, was arrested Monday after Riverside County sheriff’s deputies learned her grandchild had gone into medical distress from consuming meth, according to Sgt. Craig McDonald.

Watson, who is jailed on $35,000 bail, was slated to make her initial court appearance Wednesday at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

“Through the course of the investigation, deputies discovered that the child’s grandmother (Watson), who is from Aloha, Oregon, was staying at the Pine Street address ... and had made a cup of tea the night before and placed methamphetamine in the tea to get herself high,” McDonald alleged.

He said the unfinished cup was left on a kitchen counter, where the child apparently picked it up and drank some of it.

Watson was arrested without incident at the residence.

The tot was treated and released from the hospital. She’s expected to be fine, McDonald said.

According to McDonald, deputies were called around 10 a.m. on Monday, June 30 to a residence in the 31000 block of Pine Street in Garner Valley, about 10 miles east of Hemet, to investigate reports of possible child abuse.

McDonald said the resident told the deputies she had taken her 2-year-old daughter to a hospital after the youngster refused to go to sleep the previous night and “was talking rapidly, scratching her skin ... and very agitated.”

The child’s blood was drawn at the hospital, and lab results showed she had meth in her system, according to the sergeant.

A woman was hit in the head with a folding shovel by a burglar when she awoke early on Saturday morning in her home in the 44800 Block of Tehachapi Pass in Temecula, a Sheriff’s official reported.

Eighteen-year-old Gabriel Jimenez Ramirez, who was allegedly under the influence of a substance, broke into the woman’s home and waited for her to wake up.

When she did wake up, she called out to Ramirez after spotting him; Ramirez then struck her with the shovel and ran from the home, according to a Riverside County Sheriff’s report.

Officers were already investigating another attempted burglary in

the area when they received a report on Ramirez’s break in and assault.

They set up a perimeter in the local area until they located Ramirez and arrested him without incident, Sgt. Kevin McDonald said.

He was booked into the Southwest Detention Center for two counts of attempted burglary, one count of assault with a deadly weapon and being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to McDonald.

The female victim of the assault was expected to be OK. She received only superficial injuries and declined medical attention, McDonald said.

Supervisors set to repeal sex offender ordinance Kim Harris Special to the Valley News The Riverside County Board of Supervisors are expected to repeal Ordinance 902, the ordinance that sets rules on where sex offenders can live or visit. The board decided to appeal the ordinance on the advice of legal counsel following Appeals Court rulings on similar ordinances in nearby areas as unconstitutional.

Third District Supervisor Jeff Stone registered a “No” vote, making a strong political statement on the subject during the July 1 meeting.

According to Verne Lauritzen, chief of staff for Stone, many of the supervisors are against the move, which would leave Riverside County without an ordinance addressing sex offenders.

“It’s not something that is popular with these supervisors,” Lauritzen said. “They think the ordinance is tough and good and they want it to stay but it is not in compliance with state law and we would be legally challenged and most likely lose. We are actually repealing it to be in compliance with state law.”

Lauritzen said Stone said no to make a statement that he didn’t see the prudence in repealing it without having something else in place.

“We are left with no sex offender ordinance in place and he is uncomfortable with that. He thinks the state law is inefficient, he thinks that the state law is not tough enough,” Lauritzen said. “The message would be a political message to state legislatures to strengthen state law because he doesn’t want to repeal what they are telling us

they have to. He is just simply saying he doesn’t agree with state law, and obviously we have to comply, but I am not going to vote for it.”

Lauritzen said at the suggestion of council the ordinance would be repealed but that he hopes another ordinance would be adopted to replace Ordinance 902 to reflect the state law regarding sex offenders.

“What happened is there has been a court case that has determined that certain aspects of many local ordinances that deal with where they can go in particular is not consistent with state law and as you know county ordinances cannot supersede or take precedence over state law,” he said. “So at the suggestion of county council – it was suggested we repeal the ordinance – otherwise we could face legal challenge.”

Ordinance 902, adopted by the board in 2010, established sex offender residency and loitering prohibitions, but the new ordinance, 902.2 would do away with those restrictions. The ordinance prohibited sex offenders from residing in a residence or transient occupancy facility – such as a hotel room – already occupied by another sex offender unless the two are legally related by blood, marriage or adoption. Other restrictions include loitering in a child safety zone, which is defined as the area located within 300 feet of a child day care, swimming or wading pool, a commercial establishment that has an on-site, or adjacent children’s playground or any place where classes or group activities for children are held, such as a school.

The ordinance was later amended to include time, place and manner

restrictions that prohibit sex offenders from answering the door to children who are trick-or-treating on Halloween.

In September of 2012 the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Division 1, issued a decision ruling that some of the blanket residency restrictions of Jessica’s Law were unconstitutional.

Jessica’s law, named after a 9-year-old Florida girl who was murdered by a convicted sex offender who failed to notify local police of his location, was approved

by California voters in 2006. Additional decisions issued from the same court, Division 3, invalidated ordinances in the city of Irvine and Orange County prohibiting sex offenders from entering public parks or recreational facilities without prior permission. The recommendation to repeal the ordinance comes due to the court’s rulings that local actions regarding the issues are preempted by state laws.

Under the California penal code section 290, or Jessica’s law, sex offenders who have been convicted of a felony sex offense are required to be monitored by GPS devices.

The law also prohibits sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of any school and it makes other provisions that increase legal penalties for habitual sex offenders and child molesters. Riverside residents would still be protected under the state’s law.

The repeal is expected to happen during the Riverside County Board of Supervisors meeting scheduled for July 15 beginning at 9 a.m.

It will be effective 30 days from adoption.

The Friends of the Ronald Reagan Sports Park are currently in the process of raising funds for the completion of a monument that will feature Ronald Reagan overlooking a family of four while they work together to facilitate the creation of a park.

The monument will cost approximately $65,000 to complete and will mark the culmination of a project that has been more than two years in the making.

In February of 2012 the first phase of the monument was completed in the park through a similar kind of fundraising effort. It featured a statue of Reagan with shovel in hand against a tile backdrop.

Behind Reagan was an inscription that describes the purpose for the monument; it contains a portion of a speech Reagan made in 1983 before the United States Olympic Committee. The 40 th president praised people of the city of Tem-

ecula for their effort to create a park without utilizing any sort of government funding.

That form of self-sufficiency, which Reagan praised in his speech, was what the friends of Ronald Reagan Sports Park wanted to encapsulate in a monument, according Perry Peters, the president of the organization.

Peters said they set about achieving that through their initial fundraiser, which aided in the completion of the statue of Reagan.

Now they’re attempting to finish the second part of the monument which will depict a family of four working in unison by pulling weeds and performing other types of tasks in the park.

However, there have been some roadblocks between the two separate phases of construction. The statue of Reagan was set on fire in late September of 2013. His painted on shirt and blue jeans were covered in thick, black soot, and the heat from the fire also caused some tiles from the backsplash behind the statue to fall off. It costed many

thousands of dollars to not only fix the monument, but also to install security cameras.

But now the monument is back on a normal track toward completion. Peters added he thought the completion of the monument was an important goal because the youth of today should be familiar with Ronald Reagan and his legacy as well as the ideals of hard work and self-reliance.

“I think it’s especially needed these days when people seem to be relying more and more on government for getting things done,” he said. “I think we need that message right now.”

The Sports Park organization has started their fundraiser on Indiegogo.

Local Business Converts to a Worker Cooperative

In an effort to reduce the unemployment rate in Anza

FUN from page A-1 One key volunteer, Bill Donahue, uses his own new truck for donation pickups and deliveries, driving all over Riverside County to make those Mondays, Thursdays, and Sundays happen.

In fact, Ken Grody dealership thought enough of F.U.N.’s mission, that they gave Bill some assistance in obtaining the truck.

Jack Tsushima and Steve Tes-

with other compatible businesses.

History has shown that a worker cooperative works very well in a rural area where the unemployment rate is high. According to citydata.com, the unemployment rate in Anza is 16.7 percent, more than twice the national average.

In a worker cooperative, no one is the boss. Everyone shares the responsibility and decision making equally, because every member of the co-op is an owner. The model of management from the top down differs from a worker cooperative where all ownerworkers have an equal say in the running of the business.

During a former workshop held in Anza on how to start workerowner cooperatives, a brainstorming session revealed well over fifty services that a Co-op could provide to this community.

The advantages of a cooperative are that people can have their own business, be their own boss, never get laid off, and their business can be perpetual.

People can come and go as necessary, and even the focus can change, but the business remains.

It is a stable democratic model which empowers people to do what they really want to do. As Sandi Hughes, past president of

tasecca, of Living Hope and Anza Baptist Churches respectively, were on hand to help, and offer positive energy.

Some of the local businesses that help F.U.N. help others include Dairy Queen, ERA Realty, Living Hope Church, Anza Baptist Church and the Salvation Army of Perris. They also receive much appreciated assistance from private donors as well.

If you would like to help and be a

friend uniting your neighbors, they accept food, clothing, children’s items and money. Their vehicles don’t run on kitchen bio-fuels just yet!

Contact Donald Seddon at (760)390-5537 or email donaldfseddon@yahoo.com .

So come on out on Sunday, July 27 from 1-3 p.m., and feel free to bring, serve, or eat some tasty food and enjoy friendly conversation.

Take care neighbors!

Folioflare design business has recently converted a single owner business into a worker cooperative. The new name is Folioflare Marketing Cooperative, and the goal of this first ever business conversion in Anza is to show others how to create a sustainable, cooperative business, thereby lowering the overall number of jobless or underemployed in the Anza area.

Folioflare Marketing Cooperative now has eight professionals working together, instead of one.

With more specialized workers, the business is expanding and can take on more complex jobs.

On the staff are graphic artists, writers, photographers, web designers, book publishers, business consultants, programmers, computer technicians, sign painters, and a cartoonist. This is one way that more people can become employed by converting an existing business into a cooperative.

According to the latest local Post Office information, there are around 120 businesses in the Anza area, yet we only see a handful of storefronts.

Folioflare Marketing Cooperative has the unique ability to help these small businesses be more visible and therefore, more successful. Also, if desired, the cooperative will help them network

On July 19, Folioflare Marketing Cooperative will participate at the Anza Electric Cooperative’s annual member’s meeting which will be held in the gymnasium at Hamilton High School. All businesses that participate in the Coop Connection’s program provide discounts to Anza Electric Coop members.

Folioflare will consult with anyone wishing to set up a worker co-op; they can be reached at (951)-269-3441 for a free consultation.

The Chamber of Commerce said: “We do our best work when following our own dreams.”

Some recognizable worker cooperatives include Alvarado Street Bakery, Rainbow Grocery in the Bay area, and Evergreen steel in Ohio.

The employees at Evergreen were about to lose their jobs, so they bought the business. And although they have changed their production focus many times, they are still in business and flourishing.

said, “4-H has made me who I am today. It has taught me social and public speaking skills which I will use not only in my career, but in my everyday life; I will miss it and all the wonderful people involved.”

On a more personal note, this reporter, who is also a 4-H project leader in the High Country 4-H Club asked the new reporter for the 4-H club to introduce himself since this reporter wants him to cover his club news from now on.

This is why the 4-H motto is “Learn by doing” Hi my name is Damian Famania, I am the new reporter for 4-H and I want to tell you a little about myself. I am thirteen years old, I have three younger brothers, three dogs, two goats, seven chickens,

one rooster, one turkey and a horse. This will be my second year in 4-H and it is really fun. I like being in 4-H because you get to show your animals at the fairs and if you have a horse you take them to shows and can win additional prizes. I am really happy that I got picked to be reporter because I am really excited to write about the events we do in 4-H. We want the community to know about 4-H and how much fun we have. I also will be reporting who competed in what category and who placed, and who took home wins. So I am going to try my best at making these reports interesting so that you will look forward to reading my articles.

Clearing vegetation and trees, and regularly cutting grass can establish a buffer between you, your property, and fires.

WILDFIRE from page A-1 recommends that homeowners in wildfire prone areas create a 30100 foot “safety zone” around their homes. By cleaning flammable materials from roofs and gutters, clearing vegetation and trees, and regularly cutting the grass, you can establish a buffer between you, your property, and fires. More steps to protect your property can be found at www.NIFC.gov.

To prepare for a wildfire, individuals and businesses should build an emergency kit and make a disaster communications and escape plan. www.Ready.gov/ wildfires provides tips on what to include in a kit and how to plan ahead.

If you see smoke or a fire, call 911 – don’t assume that someone else has. In the event of a wildfire, evacuate if instructed to do so. During an evacuation, you can text the word SHELTER, followed by your zip code (eg SHELTER 99999) to 4FEMA (43362) to find the nearest wildfire shelter.

After a fire, do not return to your home until fire officials say it is safe to do so. In the immediate aftermath, groups like the Red Cross and Salvation Army often help with pressing needs, such as food, clothing and emergency housing.

To best ensure coverage for damages, be sure to file a claim with your insurance company.

The Governor of California may also declare a State of Emergency and request assistance from FEMA, at which point grants such as the joint FEMA Individuals and Households Program may be made available. You can get more information on FEMA grants by calling FEMA at 1-800-621-3362, visiting www.fema.gov/applyassistance, or calling my Palm Springs office.

You may also apply for an individual disaster loan from the Small

Business Association, at www.sba. gov/content/apply-disaster-loan.

Small businesses may receive up to $2 million in both physical and economic injury disaster loans from the Small Business Association after a wildfire or other disaster to cover repairs, as well as assistance in paying necessary operating expenses if your business suffered economic losses due to the fire.

This assistance includes Home and Personal Property Loans, so if you do not own a business but your home was damaged by a fire, you may still be able to apply for a loan to make repairs.

Last year after the Mountain Fire threatened residents, homes and businesses near Mountain Center and Idyllwild, I introduced the H.R. 3333, the Wildfire Prevention Act of 2013, which allows the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to proactively coordinate with states and localities on wildfire mitigation projects, so we can help prevent the next brush fire from becoming a wildfire emergency. I am working on this and other solutions to help our communities gain access to the resources they need that can save lives and property.

As your representative and advocate, please remember that my door is always open. Please contact my Palm Springs office by phone at (760) 424 – 8888 if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to help you. Stay safe!

Cottonwood Country Council recognizes Charlotte Grant

By Debbie Eberly Local Contributor The Cottonwood Country Council at a recent meeting presented Charlotte Grant with their community service award. Tammy Marana presented the award to Mrs. Grant for all her hard work and fundraising efforts. All of her hard work helped insure that the Cottonwood Country Council could sponsor three graduating eighth graders from Cottonwood School to go on the traditional eighth grade trip to Catalina and awarding the Whitey Powell Me-

morial Scholarships to former Cottonwood students who are graduating seniors from Hamilton High School and West Valley High School this year.

The heated immigration rallies continued today in Murrieta, as protesters stood either in support or opposition to the arrival of immigrants from Central America who crossed the border into Texas.

Thousands of immigrants have been arriving to border patrol stations like the one in Murrieta as the Federal Government has attempted to address what many are now calling a humanitarian crisis.

Anza Local Letters to the Editor

Anza Days 2014 With Anza Days just behind us it’s time to thank those who really put out a great effort to provide us all with great memories. The arrangements for the Anza Days Friday dinner and Saturday morning breakfast were brought to us by the Anza Valley Lions Club and the Anza Valley Thimble Club.

Both of these community-minded organizations have worked together for years to bring us all many great events. The deep pit barbeque and delicious breakfasts for Anza Days are just a small part of that.

The park festivities this year were completely arranged by the ACIL and the Chamber of Commerce, who really did a fantastic job.

Many additional thanks are due to the following organizations and people who put this year’s event together: The Christian Men’s Association and the Anza Radio Club for keeping us all safe with proper road blockades and radio communications throughout the parade; they

have done so for many years.

The Valley Gospel Church for providing much needed water along the parade route and taking the time to clean up after us all which was a thoughtful service to the community as well as a terrific gift to the already tired event workers.

Our Anza Days Committee Coordinator this year was Lion Don Watson who once again delivered a truly memorable event and made a very difficult job look easy.

A special thank you is in order to Lion Roy Addison, who took on the frustration of many hurdles to get the proper permits for the parade.

Roy often works quietly but very effectively in the background to support our town every year.

All of the Anza Lions stepped up to the challenge of Anza Days and the parade and many took on multiple and difficult jobs to make Anza Days happen so if you see a yellow Lions vest, shake their hand and thank them personally if you had a good time.

Many thanks are due to Cathy Blair and Bob Love for providing the terrific and professional level announcing services and for always being a friend to the Lions Additional thanks are in order to our hardworking judges who had to make some very difficult decisions very quickly; Terry Wright, Bruce DeMenge, and his daughter Kari Sanchez.

The list of participating organizations that make this event possible each year are as follows: Anza Lions Club, The Thimble Club, Anza Civic Improvement League, Chamber of Commerce, Anza Radio Club, Christian Men’s Association and Valley Gospel Church.

Watch the AVO for upcoming parade pictures and winner information.

it for a failed venture is not right.

California’s answer to everything seems to be, just add a tax.

It is time for the state to release the actual results of this tax, exactly how much money has been collected and exactly where has it been spent. It would also be interesting to find out if the state even has that information. Last year I paid both of my Fire Tax bills only to be billed again for one of them with penalty fees added. Since I had not received my cancelled checks I did not know if both checks had been cashed so I paid the second billing.

Then when I did get my checks back I found that both the original checks had been cashed. I was put-

ting together a package to request a refund when a refund check was received from the state. So I know they have problems accounting for the money collected and I assume that they also have problems with accounting for the money spent.

The Fire Tax money has obviously not been spent where needed so if nothing improves I think the State Board of Equalization should be charged with collecting money under false pretenses.

Respectfully submitted,

southern California since Christmas, the 30 day weather forecasts have been quite accurate, and the weekly forecasts have been very accurate. They have predicted red flag conditions with alarming accuracy. Thus, there is no excuse for any delays in air tankers, especially the super tankers.

When the first super tanker dropped a load of fire retardant on a fire the days of the puddle pups should have started to wane.

Fighting wildfires with the puddle pups is like fighting a structure fire with garden hoses rather than fire

hoses, just not a good idea. The super tankers should be the first in line rather than being used as a last defense the way they are now.

California needs a fleet of 8 to 10 super tankers (DC-10/747) if they are to do anything about this year’s fire season. If the State Fire Tax is being spent on anything other than assembling a fleet of super tankers, it is being very poorly spent.

California State Fire Tax Dear Editor, We have received our third billing for the California State Fire Tax. The state apparently thinks it has been working, but it seems to me that we have had more and larger wildfires since the tax became a California legislature’s dream. How naive I was to think the tax money would be used to reduce wildfires in urban regions of California. I think the sad results after two years pretty well shows that the tax is a failure and that it is being spent unwisely. Should they keep collecting money for a failed program? I think it is bad enough to have to pay discriminatory taxes for a successful venture, but to pay

Wildfires Dear Editor, During the first days of the wildfires in San Diego County a couple of weeks ago one of the reporters said that there were not enough air tankers available for the number of fires. Later that evening on another station a reporter said that there were no super tankers available when the fires broke out.

If these reporters were correct this should be considered a crime and some officials should be looking for new jobs.

The news has been talking about the potential high fire danger in

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Home buying tips Buying a home can be an overwhelming process. Here are a few home buying tips to ease the process and reduce the emotional strain.

Buy if you will be staying a few years.

Job transfers, deployments and schooling can affect how long you stay in an area. The transaction costs of buying and selling a home can be more of a factor in profitability over a shorter term; you could lose money on the deal.

This is less of a factor in a rapidly appreciating market. Selling for a profit in less than two years could subject you to capital gains taxes.

If you will not be staying in the home for a few years, you may be better off renting. Generally, if you pay 35 percent less in rent than owning – including mortgage, property taxes and homeowner fees – you are better off renting.

Clean up your credit.

Most of us need a mortgage loan to buy a house, so a clean credit history is important. Pull a

free credit report, check the facts, and fix any problems. Errors do happen.

Determine what you can afford.

Income, debts and expenses determine what you can afford. There are online calculators that can help.

Generally, you should be looking at housing that is approximately two to three times your gross annual salary. Monthly home payments should not exceed 35 percent of your gross monthly income.

Get pre-approved.

A pre-approval letter strengthens your offer or bargaining position when you do find the right house.

Find a good mortgage lender; you will be paying on this loan for fifteen, thirty or even forty years.

Use professionals.

An exclusive buyer’s agent will have your specific interests at heart, will have up-to-date knowledge of your neighborhood and market, and can assist with offer strategies.

The internet is fine for informa-

tion on listings and available properties, but can be overwhelming.

The experience of an agent could save you time and gas, and possibly thousands of dollars: sending you only the listings that meet your parameters, listings that may not have hit the market yet, and they can spot overpriced listings and active short contingent listings that are under contract.

Find the neighborhood that you want.

Look for a home in a good school district. This is a top priority for many home-buyers, especially those with school-age children.

Good schools help to maintain and even boost property values.

Even if you don’t have school-age children, your future buyers may.

Access to shopping, recreation and other lifestyle amenities may also be considerations. Once you find the right neighborhood (or neighborhoods), then search for homes.

Tailor your offer to local market conditions.

You (or your agent) need to do homework on the sales trends

in the neighborhood in the last 3-6 months and make your offer accordingly. If homes are selling five per cent below asking price with 60-day escrow periods, you may want offer 8-10 percent less with a comparable or better escrow period.

Make sure the purchase agreement has appropriate contingencies.

Obtaining a mortgage, home inspection repairs, walk-through inspection and a walk through inspection before closing are all repairs A 20 percent down payment is normal, but less is still possible.

The more you can put down, the less you will have to finance.

However, there are still a number of low-interest mortgages – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA – available for those with less of a down payment. If you qualify, you may pay as little as 3% upfront. Shopping around will pay off.

With a down payment less than 20 percent, you will probably have

to pay PMI – private mortgage insurance that protects the bank if you don’t make payments – which adds 0.5% of the total loan amount to your mortgage payment.

In addition to the down payment, you’ll need enough funds to cover fees and closing costs: appraisal, attorney, inspector, title search, etc.

These can easily add up to $10,000 or more.

Pay points to buy down your interest rate.

You can pay additional points at closing in exchange for a lower interest rate over the life of the loan.

The longer you keep the loan, the better your savings.

Hire a good home inspector.

Be sure to be present during the inspection; this is a good time to learn about the house’s overall condition, internal systems, construction materials and potential problem areas.

Secure a homeowner’s insurance policy.

Most lenders will require this.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens

Soil amendments

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello, fellow gardeners. For those of you who read my articles regularly you know I have written previously about garden soil. However, I didn’t have the space to get really in depth with amendments so I’d like to do that in this weeks article as it’s so important.

Obviously, I’m very big on compost – the best is made at home and the second best is bought at a store or in bulk at nurseries and landscape suppliers.

Compost aerates and feeds the soil and all the beneficial microbes that help your plants flourish and stay healthy. However, in addition to compost there are many amendments that you may have heard about or seen in a garden center and you’re not quite sure what they are or what they do. Lets talk about a few of these today.

Although I don’t find it necessary very often, you might like to purchase a PH soil test kit; these are available at nursery centers and many stores. After purchasing such a kit, you simply follow its directions to check the PH of your soil.

If the PH is unusually high or low, you’ve got a problem. Even though you can add sulfur to raise your PH and lime to lower it, you’ll probably be doing this forever, as it will eventually break down.

Also check for nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium levels, as these are all “fixable” by adding more of the specific nutrient the soil is lacking.

Soil that is clay (and you can tell if it’s clay if it sticks together when wet) can benefit by addition

see SOIL, page B-4

Why Homes Don’t Sell Paul Bandong Staff Writer You’re relocating, upgrading, downsizing or just need to sell your home, but the flyer box is being refilled for the tenth time and grass is growing around the base of your “For Sale” sign. The longer the property stays on the market, the more doubt agents and prospective buyers will have about it. Here are some possible reasons your home may not be selling and what you can do about it.

Your home may be over-priced for the current market.

Unrealistic overpricing is the most common reason homes don’t sell.

Overpricing is the reason that there are so many price reductions each week.

Sellers are usually optimistic, basing their value of the home on its positive aspects (usually versus the negative aspects of what they know about the other homes in the neighborhood), fond memories associated with their time there, and local comparable sales and listings (comps).

Homebuyers shop comparatively, comparing features to features against pricing.

An overpriced property will price

Find Out What Your Home is Worth On-Line

out some buyers who might have qualified or been interested at a lower price. The property may not appraise and financing could fall apart. The higher price may put you in competition with other houses that provide more value at the same price.

Your home doesn’t show well.

This is a competition – against new homes with amenities and incentives and against other existing homes with various levels of upgrades and improvements and care. The condition of the home and its aesthetics make a huge difference.

Neutralize anything that might turn off a buyer: unusual paint jobs or loud colors, awful window coverings, worn carpets, tattered or tacky furniture, bad smells. Open space, tidiness and organization win points with buyers. Paint is a good return on investment; things look good and smell fresh. Smell is a very important factor; buyers don’t want to smell your pets, laundry or last night’s dinner.

Repairs also score points. Buyers want homes in good condition with properly functioning systems: plumbing, electrical, heating/air conditioning. Replace broken roof tiles, fix/

stain/paint decks. Fix leaky windows.

Your home is in a bad location or not easily accessible.

With real estate it’s location, location, location. This can have the greatest impact on your home’s value.

Imagine the same property in Orange County or San Francisco or East LA. Sounds (noise), smells, visual distractions (neighbors with front yard debris or cars in disrepair, etc.) can also detract from your home’s desirability.

Foliage can screen off adjoining properties, a fountain can create white noise, color can draw the eye to more positive aspects of the property.

Find something to promote about the home: proximity to shopping or transportation, schools, or home features like upgrades and renovations.

Your home may be poorly designed, outdated or upgraded too much.

Odd floor plans and lot configurations require buyers to stretch their visualization of daily life.

Upgrades add value, but don’t necessarily justify pricing far above the neighborhood comps.

You may have bad pictures.

More and more buyers are looking at homes online as a first step. Many are looking for reasons to see your house in person; others are looking for reasons to rule your house out.

A professional photographer is well worth the money. Make sure you clean up the house before the pictures are taken. Stage each room and make sure there is adequate lighting.

You picked the wrong listing agent.

This does happen. Your agent can overprice your home, market it ineffectively, be unresponsive to other agents and buyers or fail to communicate with you throughout the process.

If your agent is hard to work with, other agents may not want the hassle.

You are battling competition or market conditions.

Economy, interest rates and public perception can all affect market conditions. Selling in a “seller’s market” usually means inventories are low and prices are strong and may be rising (due to higher demand and smaller supply). Selling in this market will increase your chances of selling sooner and near or above your asking price.

In a “buyer’s market,” sales slow down, inventories increase, and buyers get bargains from motivated sellers. Selling into this market, you will be competing against vacant new construction and rentals. The most effective strategy is lowering your price; another option is waiting it out.

You have ineffective marketing.

There have been times when listing with the multiple listing service (MLS) was all an agent had to do; other agents would bring buyers.

Nowadays, multi-level marketing plans are necessary: listing on the MLS, attractive signage, putting the home on listing tours, advertising in local media and holding open houses are all good ways to get the word out about your home. Consider using flyers and mailer campaigns as well as social media.

Houses are selling in this market.

Look at your property objectively, select a good agent, spend a little money (creatively) to accentuate the positive and downplay the negative.

Also be sure to price the property appropriately, take good pictures and have a good marketing plan.

John Occhi, Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Today’s Temecula Home Owner wants to make certain that they know the true value of their home before they put it on the market and sell it. The last thing any home seller ever wants to do is leave money on the table. The uncertainty and ambiguity of the process can be daunting as well as frustrating often leaving the home seller with anxiety over their ultimate decision.

It’s amazing how confident some homeowners are when quoting a value they got on line from Zillow or some other mega-website that does everything at the touch of a button. If only life were that easy.

Everyone has been preached to for years to interview at least three realtors before making a decision.

Sure, today many top agents have the latest portable electronic gadgetry that can wow the heck out of you and impress you with a wonderful marketing plan that is sure to bring prospective buyers to your home…but is that enough? What good are 100 buyers touring your home in a weekend if it’s priced below fair market value?

When interviewing an agent, pay more attention to what the agent says and not what he shows. Those gadgets of real estate wizardry can all be purchased for a price. Local market knowledge and common sense – these are the attributes that truly make the difference. Let me emphasize how critical it is during the interview process to pay attention to what is said.

COMPARATIVE MARKET ANALYSIS (CMA) Regardless of how it’s delivered, the most common method of determining the value of a home, is by preparing a Comparative Market

Courtesy graphic

Analysis, aka CMA. This is nothing more than a detailed report that looks at the recent past and present market conditions of similar properties to determine a value. Again, be aware that some agents purchase some pretty extraordinary software packages that polish all the bells and fine tune the whistles – the question remains… “What does the agent really know?”

Many agents will use comparisons of homes that are not at all similar. Imagine living in a single story ranch home and having an agent justify a price by comparing your home to a two-story colonial.

Believe it or not, it happens all the time.

Every good CMA will include similar homes that have recently sold – ideally in the last three months but never more than a year.

They will also show you pending and active listings. A thorough CMA will also include similar homes that have been on the market but have been taken off either as an expired listing or perhaps it was cancelled by the home owner. Each of these categories of homes tells a story about the current market conditions. Let your prospective agent explain the story to determine if they really know what they are talking about.

THE BASICS The basic data is relevant to all homes for sale – or sold. It’s the starting point of assessing property value in any market. Some of the basics that can sway the value of a home for sale include: Bedroom Count Bathroom Count

Property values to see largest percentage increase since 2007 Property values across Riverside County will increase by 7.74 percent overall this year, the largest percentage increase since 2007 and the highest total assessment-roll value since 2008, Assessor Larry Ward said Monday. Even better for Riverside County residents, the average property owner will not see a comparable property tax increase.

The assessment roll is based upon assessed property values in Riverside County.

This year, the driving factor in the roll’s increase is the year-over-year growth in the average sales price of single family homes in Riverside County.

Median home sales price increased 24 percent, from $210,000 to almost $260,000, between December 2012 and December 2013, according to statistics from Data Quick, a real estate information services firm that compiles monthly reports from public records. Values are established as of January 1 each year.

Though the median sale price has increased by 24 percent, most Riverside County homeowners will not see a comparable property-tax increase because much of the median increase is attributable to a broader mix of homes selling in the market. Other factors include price gains in multi-family apartments, large warehouse properties and vacant land.

Tract-map recordings and permits issuances also are rising, signs the housing market continues to improve. Although retail and general commercial property values continue to lag, future increases in these areas are likely as the economy in general continues to improve.

A substantial decline in foreclosure-related activity also has significantly affected Riverside County’s improved real estate market. Fewer foreclosures reduced the number of homes for sale and increased competition for available homes, pushing prices higher.

“After several years of economic difficulties, the Inland Empire and specifically Riverside County appear poised to once again be one of the fastest growing counties in the state,” Ward said.

Under the law, as economic recovery increases market value,

valuations that were lowered during the recession must be increased to match the subsequent upswing.

In those cases, property taxincreases on the properties are allowed to exceed the standard 2 percent annual cap set by Prop.

13. This year’s Prop. 13 annual inflation cap, as determined by the California Consumer Price Index, is 0.454 percent.

Property owners whose assessments have not been reduced per Prop. 8 will notice their assessed values increased by this inflation factor. (A Prop 8 reduced assessment occurs when the current market value of a property is less than the assessed value as of January 1.)

Despite the overall increase in the assessment roll, many properties still remain well below peak values.

Under state law, assessed values can be lowered temporarily based on a property’s value on Jan. 1 of each year. Changes in the realestate market can affect subsequent assessed values and Ward said his

office continues to review individual properties for potential changes in value, which can affect property taxes. The review is a critical process in completing the assessment roll.

Beginning mid-July Riverside County property owners will be able to view their 2014-2015 roll value online at www.riversideacr.com.

Properties can be searched by address or parcel number.

Property owners whose assessed value has changed this year will receive a notice from Ward in their regular 2014-2015 tax bills, which will be sent in October by Treasurer-Tax Collector Don Kent.

(The attached file includes a full report on assessed values in cities and unincorporated areas, as well as historic data on assessed values in Riverside County.)

Property owners who disagree with their property’s assessed value may file a free decline-in-value application online. Applications are due by Nov. 3 and are available at www.riversideacr.com.

Property owners disputing the value set by the Assessor’s office may file an appeal with the Riverside County Clerk of the Board until December 1. An application to appeal a changed assessment is available on the Clerk of the Board’s website at www.rivcocob. org.

US vs. THEM Skills the best realtors bring to the table will be interpreting the data and being able to determine the value of each adjustment in order to determine what your home is actually worth on the date the CMA is prepared.

Skilled realtorswill know what value a fourth bedroom has over a third bedroom home. Is a threecar tandem garage worth the same as a three-car side-by-side garage?

If not, what adjustments should be made, in your neighborhood? If the kitchen has had a major remodel with new cabinets, granite counter tops and high end stainless steel appliances will that add value to the home or just attract more buyers?

Is a model match home worth the same as yours if it’s at the end of a cul-de-sac and yours backs to a major thoroughfare?

I can’t begin to emphasize how important it is to insist on having your prospective real estate agent explain every nuance of the CMA he’s prepared and evaluate how much he really knows and how much he relies on software.

IS YOUR LISTING ‘FOR SALE’?

Unfortunately, in today’s competitive market many agents believe they can buy your listing by suggesting a top dollar list price to get the listing, thinking they will later come back for a price reduc-

tion. They’ll do this because either they just don’t know any better or because they want to appease the home seller who believes their home is better than the neighbors who just sold.

Other agents will take a listing at any price, even if it is way overpriced. They believe that their marketing machine will generate phone calls and internet leads that will become new business for them, all at your expense – either way you lose.

FIGURES NEVER LIE…LIARS ALWAYS FIGURE One of my earliest lessons in business was that figures never lie but liars always figure. Take the time to carefully look over all of the CMA’s you’ve been presented, side-by-side; never feel rushed or pressured in a listing presentation.

Take your time and understand the differences of what each agent is representing. Call them, question them and get to the bottom. Compare apples to apples and bring everything together before making a mistake that could potentially cost you thousands of dollars and upset your timeline by choosing the wrong agent.

Real Estate / Home & Garden SOIL from page B-1 of compost as well as gypsum.

Gypsum is a natural mineral that helps break apart the clay soil cells so that water and nutrients move through it more easily.

Sandy soil just needs compost added, regularly. It will workmiracles for you and help with all your plant problems.

Let me just mention a “favorite” organic fertilizer here that many people use. It’s cheap and plentiful, and it’s manure. You can buy both cow/steer or chicken manure almost anywhere, but you need to make sure it’s completely broken down. Otherwise the manure can burn your plant roots (and this is especially the case with chicken manure).

I know because I did this once myself and learned the hard way, as most of us do. I prefer adding manure to my compost pile; then it really does its job, helping to heat up the pile and break down the material in it, rather than adding it directly to soil.

Greensand and Kelp are two of my favorite soil amendments – they are both “natural.” One is plant based, the other mineral, but the combination added to soil just produces unbelievable results with your plants – bigger and healthier flowers and veggies. Whatever you grow will benefit greatly. I recommend getting at least one box of each every year and adding a little to pots and your favorite plants.

Epsom salts – you may think salts are bad for your soil, and

Courtesy graphic

regular salt (sodium chloride) is, but Epsom salts are basically Magnesium salts, which are very good for your plants and soil.

Rosarians have been using this for a long time with great results.

You can either just sprinkle a cup around a rosebush or most plants, or dissolve the salt in water and pour into pots or the ground.

There are several varieties of “sea” products that are all great for the soil. Kelp, as I mentioned

above, comes in a granular form as well as a liquid. It’s highly concentrated and the liquid is incredible, although a little smelly. It’s not as bad as “fish fertilizer,” which is also very good for the garden by the way, albeit stinky.

The liquid kelp lasts a long time.

I’ve had a bottle last two years, so its definitely worth the money. You can also dilute it and spray it on plants as well.

These amendments feed the soil,

but also make nutrients available to the plant so I don’t just refer to them as “fertilizers”. The typical “chemical” quick to act fertilizers that you get at the big box stores only feed the plant, temporarily, and do nothing to build up the soil health, which is what you really want to do.

You create a “plant junkie” basically by feeding a plant with only chemical fertilizers. I like feeding the soil, which in turn feeds my

plants. If you have earthworms in there, you know you’ve got good soil – that’s an indicator of soil health.

Speaking of earthworms, get a bag of “worm castings,” as these make another great amendment for soil. You may end up adding some worm eggs into the soil as well, which is a great bonus.

Another great “amendment” to improve your soil is a “green cover crop” that will later be “turned under” – typically clover is a good one for this, as it adds lots of nitrogen to soil. It’s helpful in both clay or sandy soils prior to crop planting.

Grow the clover for one season, then turn it under with a spade or shovel. It will decompose right in the ground, and then you’ll be ready to plant your roses, veggies, shrubs, or anything else.

Well, I think I’m out of room here again, so will say goodbye until next week. And as always I am available for consultations and design work.

Remember to be water-wise since we’re in a drought now and our water district is paying $2.00 per square foot to remove lawn and replace with drought tolerant landscaping!

Until next time – have fun out there, and don’t forget to wear your sunscreen!

Plant right to save water and money Many communities endure harsh summers characterized by high temperatures and infrequent rainfall. In such locales, local governments typically institute water restrictions on local landowners.

These restrictions limit the amount of water homeowners can use to maintain their properties, and some homeowners choose to install new irrigation systems in an effort to help their lawns and garden survive the potentially harsh summer weather.

While new irrigation systems can

be effective, homeowners looking for alternatives to such systems can find ways to save both water and money. Planting right is a great way to conserve water and save money, and homeowners need not be veteran landscapers to ensure their lawns and gardens survive and even thrive during warm weather.

Choose the right season to plant. Some plants thrive when planted during certain times of the year, but many plants should not be planted during the summertime. When planted in the summer, plants typically need more water to establish themselves because the temperatures are hotter. Spring or fall tend to be the best seasons to plant, but homeowners can consult a local lawn and garden professional to determine the best time to plant in their specific region.

and plants for your lawn, consult with a local lawn care professional if you’re hesitant to choose your own grass and plants. If you don’t want to work with a consultant, do your homework on both your property and the region where you live before making any decisions. For example, if your home is located in a region where summer drought is commonplace, then grass and plants that do not need much water might be your best option.

Aerate the soil. Healthy soil can help to protect grass and plants forced to cope with harsh conditions. Aeration is a process by which soil is punctured with spikes or cores of soil are removed from the ground to improve drainage and water penetration. Operating an aerator in the yard can be challenging, so it’s often best to leave such a project to the professionals.

But when planting in a garden, homeowners can turn and cultivate the soil to improve its moisture re-

Lay mulch around bushes, plants, shrubs and trees. Mulch serves many purposes, from the practical to the aesthetic. Many homeowners find laying mulch around their property adds to the property’s visual appeal. But mulch also is practical, helping soil to retain its moisture and reduce evaporation. In addition, mulch helps curtail the growth of weeds, which compete with existing plants for water.

Make trees work for you. Planting trees around a lawn can not only improve the curb appeal of your home, but also trees serve more practical purposes. When planting trees, look at trees as natural providers of shade that can lower soil temperatures and reduce moisture loss. You may want to plant trees in such a way so they provide shade to areas that tend to be hit especially hard by summer sun.

Planting right with a goal of protecting their property from the elements and conserving water can save homeowners money and make their lawns and gardens more aesthetically appealing.

For the fourth year now, I have been practicing and advocating a conservative style of summer rose care. As we enter the summer season, we can expect periods of days or even weeks with temperatures that can hover between the high 90s to more than 100 degrees.

Rose care activities fall lower on your priority list when you get the sense that Mother Nature is trying to kill you. These temperatures are enough to make any gardener want to escape to the beach, pool, or air conditioned room—anything but laboring among the thorns, battling bugs and soaking in sweat!

Roses don’t like intense heat, either. Gardeners who live in the desert—that is us, you know—can verify that the number and size of blooms falls off dramatically in high temperatures.

In addition, as plants struggle to stay hydrated, their fragrances diminish. When roots can’t take up enough water, their leaf tissues dehydrate and burn to a crisp. Chlorophyll is depleted, causing yellowing and suppressing photosynthesis. The plant will conserve its resources for roots, canes, and leaves in that order.

If your roses suffer desiccated leaves, do not remove them as they provide shade for the canes. And remember: If a leaf dies, it is easily replaced; if a cane dies, it’s gone!

Without saying, water needs increase dramatically during these warm summer spells. Daily watering may even be necessary.

It is essential that you check soil dampness frequently during hot days.

Use a water probe or stick you finger to a depth of four to six inches (that is, if you have fluffy soil or unnaturally long fingers)!

If your soil is too compacted to do this, use a small garden trowel to scratch down to that depth and check the moisture content. A 3”- 4” layer of good composted mulch over the entire bed will help conserve moisture.

Potted roses are even more susceptible to heat and drying because soil in a container will heat up rapidly, virtually cooking the roots. In addition, the soil contracts, pulls away from the container’s sides, causing water to run through rapidly, washing away soil, and wasting water..

for “dirty” yellow stippled leaves and, in severe cases, webbing on the leaves. Leaves closest to the ground are usually the primary ones affected. Don’t spend a lot time looking for the tiny insects. A quick light brushing of the underside of the leaf with your finger will readily support your suspicions: the surface will feel like it’s covered with a fine grit. To help prevent an infestation, remove all leaves within 8” - 10” of the ground surface.

Roses enjoy a good shower (just as we gardeners do!) especially after a hot day. The difference?

Give roses an early morning shower before the sun gets too high and the temperatures are hot for long periods. Jets of water can blast off dirt, dust, and even tiny pests (such as mites, mildew spores, aphids, etc.), and hydrate your roses in preparation for a hot day. If you use a water wand aimed upward to spray the underside of the lower leaves you can dislodge spider mites. Because they reproduce so quickly you must do this every few days.

My conservative style of summer care is borrowed from experienced desert gardeners. After the June/ and July bloom cycle, let the plant go into a mini-summer dormancy by removing only the petals, not the hips. (In other words, don’t deadhead).

Removing the petals helps prevent pest infestations and keeps the garden looking clean. Allow the rose hips (seed pods) to develop.

This will send a message to the plant to slow down, producing a short dormant period. This will relieve some of the heat stress.

Continue to supply sufficient water and check your system daily: One broken sprinkler head, clogged emitter, or chewed drip tube can result in a dried out struggling plant.

Above all, do not fertilize during hot periods—even organic Nitrogen can burn the roots of a stressed plant. As I always say, “Roses are like people: When it’s hot, they want lots of water and heat relief rather than food.”

Positive thinking can reduce stress, positively impact health A balanced diet, exercise, genetics, and even certain medications can work in concert to make a person healthy. But a person’s demeanor also can factor into personal health.

The Mayo Clinic says that whether or not a person is an optimist or a pessimist can affect many areas of his or her health and well-being, and those who see the glass as half-full may ultimately

be healthier than those who see it as half-empty.

Positive thinking can make it easier to manage stress. The body responds differently based on an individual’s mood, and it may produce stress hormones if a person’s outlook is negative. Such stress hormones can compromise the immune system, increase blood pressure and even reduce the body’s ability to burn fat effectively.

Thinking negatively and being on edge also can increase a person’s risk for developing cardiovascular disease and aging prematurely.

Conversely, maintaining a positive attitude can be good for your health. Studies have shown that thinking positively can lower rates of depression and anxiety, increase life expectancy and provide greater resistance to certain illnesses, such as the common cold.

A 2012 preliminary study from researchers at Stanford University found that daughters of mothers suffering from depression were able to witness their own stress levels go down on a real-time brain scan as they switched from negative thoughts to happy ones.

Researchers are unsure why positive thinking has such profound effects. But in addition to limiting stress-releasing hormones, positive thinking may inspire people to live healthier lifestyles that make them more likely to get routine

physical activity and eat a healthy diet. Happy people also may be less likely to use tobacco products or alcohol as a coping mechanism when dealing with elevated stress levels, and such people will not have to deal with the side effects that can come with these unhealthy behaviors.

Becoming a more positive thinker can take a little effort for those without a natural inclination for optimism. But because positive thinking boasts such significant health benefits, men and women might want to try the following methods to embrace their optimistic side.

Exercise. Start an exercise regimen, as physical activity naturally reduces stress and can improve mood.

Embrace humor. Surround yourself with others who bring a

smile to your face. Look for ways to laugh as much as possible.

Rather than go out to dinner or a bar with friends, head to a comedy club. Choose comedies at the movie theater and find humor in everyday happenings.

Identify areas that need change. Think about moments in life that may bring you down or inspire negative reactions. If work is problematic, figure out ways to make it better and work toward improving the situation.

Be supportive of yourself.

Consider what you would say to others and then treat yourself the same way. Would you be overly negative or derogatory toward a complete stranger? Probably not, and there is no reason to be harsh with yourself, either. Push negative thoughts away.

Volunteer. One way to see the world in a more positive light is to help others who may be less fortunate than you. Volunteering not only helps others, but it also can help you put your own problems in perspective. Volunteering also helps you feel good about your efforts, which can translate into positive thinking.

Think like a child. Take a cue from youngsters and find joy in the little things. Let children be the leaders in activities and mimic what they do. You just may find yourself laughing more and enjoying yourself. Being silly for a little while is one way to recapture the feelings of youth.

Positive thinking is more than the subject matter of self-help books. It’s a viable way to improve personal health and live longer.

How to sneak fruits and vegetables into any recipe Fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of a healthy diet.

But many people do not eat the recommended number of servings of produce. That’s especially true among growing children, who can benefit greatly from the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide.

According to the latest data from the NPD Group, a market research firm, Americans eat a little more than half a cup of fruit and a cup of vegetables per day. This is less than half of what the government recommends.

The data is similar in Canada, where researchers at Concordia University found that Canadian adults ages 30 to 60, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, aren’t consuming the daily recommended levels of fruits and vegetables.

Anyone who eats roughly 2,000 calories per day should strive to consume between two to three cups of vegetables and two cups of fruit per day. Produce helps to fight disease because it contains healthy antioxidants, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Eating four cups per day may seem difficult, but there are many ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into everyday recipes.

Substitute pureed fruit, like figs, pears and apples, for oil in recipes for cakes and cookies. This will ensure the baked goods are moist but with a lot less fat.

Add fresh berries or raisins to breakfast cereals and oatmeal.

Add cauliflower or squash to boiled potatoes before mashing them to increase the nutritional punch and flavor of mashed potatoes.

Blend fruits and vegetables to create smoothies for breakfast or lunch on the go.

Bake hearty muffins or breads with sweet potato or carrots in the batter.

Mix stewed tomatoes in with your broth soup base to make a vegetable or chicken soup even more nutritious.

Opt for vegetables piled high atop a slice of pizza in lieu of meats or extra cheese.

Survival tips for single working parents Becoming a parent may be the most important responsibility an adult ever faces, and that responsibility is even greater for single parents. Balancing work and home life as a single parent can seem like an endless juggling act. But with a strong support system and some guidance, single parents can handle the challenge.

The daily responsibilities of a single parent do not differ from those of a married couple, but single parents tasked with playing the roles of both mom and dad may understandably feel overwhelmed. Here are some challenges and coping mechanisms.

Establish boundaries.

Work and home life are both full-time responsibilities for single parents, and the line between work and family life often blurs for single parents wondering whether to put in more hours at the office or leave to tend to a family matter. Thanks to the financial strain of being a single parent, it’s easy to put work before family. While single parents do their best to provide financially for their families, such efforts should not come at the expense of being there for their kids and providing them with emotional support. Find a balance that works for you and do your best to stick to your boundaries.

Work time and family time should be clearly distinguished.

more important affairs that demand your attention.

Pick your battles.

You probably will not be able to micromanage every detail of your home and professional life, so recognize which things in life are worth fighting for and which things (kids’ hairstyles or clothing choices) may just be a phase. Let trivial matters slide, as there may be

Find your support system.

Many single parents juggle their responsibilities without much help from outside their households, but many also have a network of friends or family members on whom they can call if they need reinforcements. Figure out which person or people you can rely on to have

your back should you need a few hours of alone time or someone to pick up a sick child while you are in the middle of a businessmeeting.

Single parents often feel a kinship with other single parents, who may be willing to pool their resources to help one another when necessary.

Explore other assistance.

Single parents may be eligible to enroll in certain assistance programs

to make their lives a little more manageable. For example, single parents may qualify for grants to return to school or low-cost housing and supplemental food allowances to ease some of the financial burden of raising a family on their own. Explore programs that may be available to you.

Pay attention to your needs.

Single parents should not over-

look the importance of taking care of themselves. Though kids might be your top priority, that does not mean you should forgo routine health screenings or overlook the importance of getting your rest. When the juggling act gets especially difficult and stressful, create some time to relax and pamper yourself, which can have a profound impact on your mental and physical well-being.

Tips to land a good internship Many college students recognize the value of internships. Internships can help college students start building their resumes before they even earn their degrees, and those experiences can give them an edge in a competitive postgraduate job market.

Landing internships gives stu-

dents some firsthand experience within a given profession, and that exposure can help them decide if a projected career path is right for them or if it’s good to go back to the drawing board. The following are a few tips to help college students land an internship and make the most of the opportunity.

• Don’t hesitate. Though many internships are tailored to students with a year or two of college

under their belt, that doesn’t mean freshman can’t begin to explore potential opportunities.

Even if you don’t intend to get an internship in the coming school year or during summer break, you can begin to explore potential opportunities that might interest you when the time to start seeking internships does arrive. Looking early may yield valuable information, such as courses that would improve your chances of landing an internship, that your fellow students who hesitate or procrastinate won’t have.

• Speak with the career placement specialists at your school. Career placement departments at colleges and universities are an increasingly valuable resource for today’s college students, many of whom will graduate and face an uncertain and crowded job market. But career placement departments are not just a resource for grads. Such departments can be valuable tools for current students interested in landing internships. If you don’t know where to begin your internship search or simply want to see if

any opportunities have opened up, speak with representatives at the career placement department at your school. Look the part on such visits, dressing nicely and bringing a resume. Doing so might just separate you from your fellow students, and that can only help as you begin your search for an internship.

• Ask around among friends and family members. Sometimes you need a little help to land a good internship, so don’t be afraid to ask your friends and family members if they’re aware of any opportunities. Adult relatives might be aware of internship opportunities at their companies before the general public, and there’s no shame in seeking help as you try to take the first step toward a rewarding career. In addition to friends and family members, inquire about your college or university’s alumni network. Many alumni look to hire students from their universities for internships or even entry-level positions, so make the most of this potentially valuable resource.
