The smell of fry bread wafted through the air as traditional Native American chants and music pulsated outward from a central arena at the grounds outside Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula.

Thousands of people showed up to partake in this experience; they ate Native foods, listened to Native music and purchased Native artwork over a three day period from July 11 – July 13 during the 19th Annual Pechanga Pow Wow. Pow wows are events where various American Indian tribes gather together to celebrate their cultural traditions. Singing and dancing are the primary form of celebration, but Pechanga adds their own flare with a firework display on one of the night’s of the event.

Many Southwest Riverside residents attend the event on a yearly basis; they pack the stands located at the center of the grounds to watch Gourd Dancing and other traditional forms of dance before staying for the display.

This year’s fireworks took place on the evening of July 12, the second day of the event, and cars from all over Southwest Riverside descended onto the three southbound lanes of Pechanga Parkway en route to the grounds to find a spot to watch.

They started shortly after 9 p.m. that evening and the sky erupted in brilliant and iridescent displays of green, blue, pink, orange and gold.

The colors of the fireworks were almost as bright as the colors of the regalia worn by the dancers, many of whom participated in traditional Gourd dancing.

Gourd dancing is a form of dance believed to have originated with the Kiowa people. Dancers move their feet in tandem with the beat of a drum as they travel around the inside of a circular area; often there is singing involved.

There were many different classes of dancers, and classifications were usually made based on age.

A development company has formally launched its fourth bid to build a water park in Temecula.

Temecula council members warily joined the process on July 8. They agreed to give the Redondo Beach firm exclusive rights to negotiate the possible purchase of a city site that the water park developers have been eyeing since 2009.

A brief report by city staff was followed by a flurry of questions and statements from council members who may have been gripped by a sense of déjà vu over the project.

Councilman Mike Naggar, one of the earliest proponents of a water park in the city, quickly interjected a string of questions.

“The Council wants a water park,” said Naggar, who then segued into a point-blank question regarding the status of the developer’s potential financing.

Other council members pressed for answers on that topic as well as the project’s anticipated development timeline.

Councilman Jeff Comerchero took pains to note that the panel was “not pointing any fingers” as to why the past water park development bids had evaporated before

Hard News Trial proceedings begin for man accused in ‘prolific’ crime spree MURRIETA - Jury selection is set to get underway tomorrow for the trial of a convicted murderer accused in a five-month robbery spree targeting Riverside County businesses, in what investigators described as the “most prolific’’ crime series committed by one man in the county’s history.

Sergio Nicolas Lopez, 34, of Hemet could face life in prison if convicted of 69 felony counts, including burglary, robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Superior Court Judge Angel Bermudez heard pretrial motions on evidence and witnesses today and is expected to summon more than 150 prospective jurors to the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta Tuesday for screening as to their availability and qualifications.

Opening statements could begin before week’s end.

The District Attorney’s Office alleges Lopez is responsible for at least 20 robberies between November 2010 and April 2011. The defendant allegedly told sheriff’s

investigators after his arrest that he committed the hold-ups for cash to support his heroin addiction.

Prosecutors allege Lopez’s first known robbery occurred on Nov. 20, 2010, at a Supercuts in Hemet.

Three women working in the shop told detectives that a Hispanic man carrying what appeared to be a black semiautomatic handgun and covering his face with a white shirt walked into the shop near closing time and demanded money.

The defendant allegedly handed one of the women a bank bag and had her stuff it with cash from the register, then herded all of the victims into a broom closet, directing them to stay there for 15 minutes, according to a trial brief filed by Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Garcia.

She said the bandit’s modus operandi never changed.

“The suspect targeted small businesses with a few young female victims, at closing time -- never late at night or during the day,’’ Garcia wrote. “He would initially tell the

victims to ‘get to the back,’ next asking ‘who’s in charge?’ Then he would ask for the money from the register, then the safe, watching from an area that would be unseen

“By all accounts... these crimes represent the most prolific robbery series in the history of Riverside County,” – Sgt. Don Williamson by any potential customers. He would ultimately lock the victims in a room, telling them to wait a specified period of time (before coming out).’’

A number of victims reported that the robber indicated others were assisting him, and he was periodically heard talking on either a Bluetooth wireless device or mobile phone, according to the brief.

He threatened to shoot at least one person, court papers allege.

Businesses were robbed countywide -- Hemet, Indio, Moreno

Valley, Murrieta, Riverside, San Jacinto and Temecula are all places where robberies took place.

The defendant apparently had a predilection for holding up hair salons and juice bars, such as Juice It Up, according to the brief.

On the evening of April 29, 2011, Lopez allegedly burst into Anna’s Linens in the 42-200 block of Jackson Court in Indio, brandished a pistol and told a female clerk to “Give me the money!’’

After snatching funds from the cash drawer, the masked bandit fled the area in a gray Honda Accord.

Moments later, an Indio police officer spotted the same vehicle speeding along Monroe Avenue, leading to a pursuit. The patrolman chased the car for 15 minutes, until the Honda veered off the roadway and onto a curb, where the driver bailed out and fled into the Arabian Gardens Mobile Home Park on Fred Waring Drive.

Lopez was allegedly able to leave the area by catching a ride with a resident. Officers stopped

the pickup truck the defendant was riding in and briefly detained him, but ultimately let him go, according to the trial brief.

However, evidence collected at the scene, including gloves, a sweatshirt, a toy pistol and -- most importantly -- the Honda, which turned out to belong to the defendant’s girlfriend, culminated in his arrest a few days later.

Lopez allegedly confessed to half of the robberies.

“By all accounts ... these crimes represent the most prolific robbery series in the history of Riverside County,’’ sheriff’s Sgt. Don Williamson said after charges were filed in the case.

Lopez has a 1993 conviction for a gang-related murder in Los Angeles County. He was convicted as a juvenile and released within a few years, according to court papers.

He’s being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center.

Agencies combine power I-15 freeway crash in Temecula to curb street racing in injures three TEMECULA - Three people Winchester roads.

Firefighters freed the trapped Interstate 15 corridor were injured Monday, July 14 in a According to the Riverside person and took all three to a FALLBROOK - Authorities announced today, Mon., July 14 that multiple agencies are combining their power to incidences of street racing that have been taking place in the Interstate 15 corridor from Fallbrook to Escondido.

The California Highway Patrol (Oceanside office), San Diego County Sheriff ’s Department, and Escondido Police Department will work together to conduct ongoing street racing enforcement operations.

The three participating agencies will add extra patrols in the area to focus on illegal street racing.

This ongoing joint operation is intended to send a message to drivers that illegal street racing will not be tolerated in North San Diego County.

According to officials, street

racing is extremely dangerous, both to participants and onlookers, with death or serious injury a frequent consequence.

Motorists traveling at an unsafe speed are consistently found to be the number one primary collision factor (PCF) in injury collisions in California; it is among the top three PCFs when it comes to fatal collisions.

Authorities want to remind the public that street racing is always illegal. The CHP actively investigates street racing and takes enforcement action whenever possible.

Officials said public concern “makes a big difference.” Anyone who hears about a street race, planned or already conducted, is asked to call the CHP promptly.

Case of felon who blasted neighbor with shotgun goes to jury RIVERSIDE - Jury deliberations got underway today in the attempted murder trial of an ex-con who shot his Lake Elsinore neighbor following days of hostility between the two men. Kevin Ronald Fulkerson, 52, could face more than 25 years in prison if convicted of the attempted murder count, along with assault with a deadly weapon and being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

According to trial testimony, the confrontation between Fulkerson and 59- year-old Steven Cook was preceded by more than a week of conflict between the two men, who lived adjacent to one another in the 18100 block of Grand Avenue.

Last week, Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Strona played an audio recording of Fulkerson speaking with sheriff’s Investigator Robert Cornett several hours after the defendant was arrested the afternoon of April 9.

Fulkerson insisted during the interview that he was ‘’the victim’’ and Cook was ‘’trespassing’’ on his property. According to the defendant, Cook had been needling him and challenging him to fight nearly every time they had made eye contact.

Three days before the shooting, Cook summoned deputies to complain because the defendant had crossed his driveway without permission.

Tensions boiled over, Fulkerson said, when a drunken Cook came to his front door claiming the defendant had his property.

Fulkerson, who has a leg injury and uses a cane for support, said he told Cook to leave him alone, at which point the defendant’s girlfriend, Stacy Campeau, got involved, ‘’screaming and yelling’’ at Cook to get away from the residence.

Cook postured as if about to get physical with Campeau, Fulkerson

told Cornett, prompting the defendant to pick up a sawed-off shotgun from his living room table and open fire on the victim from roughly three feet away. ‘’I just lost it. I just flipped, man,’’ Fulkerson says on the tape. ‘’I just grabbed the gun and shot the guy.’’

After shooting Cook, the defendant struck him in the head with the butt- end of the compact rifle and told him to ‘’Just die, mother (expletive)!’’, according to the prosecution.

Cook underwent surgery for a stomach wound and eventually made a full recovery.

According to court records, Fulkerson was convicted in 1991 in Ohio of voluntary manslaughter and served a 17-year prison sentence. He’s being held in lieu of $1.1 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

Border Patrol agents found more than two dozen pounds of narcotics stashed inside a vehicle they stopped near Fallbrook this week, an agency spokesman said Friday.

The man was identified only as a 37-year-old Mexican national and was pulled over along Interstate 15 in the Fallbrook area on Tuesday, according to U.S. Border Patrol Spokesman Paul Carr.

That’s when a K-9 agent sniffed

the vehicle and alerted his handler that drugs may be present, according to Carr.

“Agents searched the car and discovered 10 bundles of narcotics stashed inside the lining of the [2003 Dodge] Neon’s backseat,” Carr said. “Five of the bundles were filled with cocaine and five were filled with methamphetamine.”

In total, the drugs had a com-

bined weight of 24.58 pounds and are estimated to be worth $285,340.

“The man was arrested and the narcotics were turned over to agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration,” Carr said. “The suspect faces federal charges for drug trafficking and possession of a controlled substance.”

Border Patrol officials took the vehicle.

assaulting ex-lover

RIVERSIDE - A man accused of sexually assaulting his former girlfriend at her Menifee home was charged today with rape of an intimate partner resulting in great bodily injury.

David Dawty Shui, 42, of Cerritos was arrested on Thursday following a Riverside County sheriff’s investigation into allegations that he had attacked the victim, whose identity was not released.

Shui appeared today before Riv-

erside County Superior Court Judge Michele Levine, who appointed him a public defender and scheduled his arraignment for Thursday at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Shui is being held in lieu of $55,000 bail at the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.

According to Sheriff’s Sgt. Glenn Williams, the defendant allegedly attacked the victim on July 2 at her house in the 31000 block of

Eastridge Avenue. Details were not disclosed.

Shui was arrested without incident after detectives located him in Cerritos.

According to court records, a woman identified by the initials A.Y. had a temporary restraining order against Shui and was in the process of applying for a permanent one at the time of his arrest. It wasn’t immediately clear whether A.Y. was the victim.

Tractor-trailer crash closes northbound I-215 in Perris

City clerk offices around the Valley are buzzing in excitement now that election season has officially arrived. Candidate filing for elected position throughout Riverside County began on Monday, July 14 for the November 4 general election.

“This is my favorite part of the job. The election cycle,” said Wildomar City Clerk Debbie Lee. “I love seeing democracy in action; so many places in the world don’t have the ability to elect their local leaders,” Lee said. “The election cycle is the coolest process to watch.”

Anyone interested in running for offices on the Nov. 4 general election ballot have until 5 p.m. on Aug. 8 to file their papers.

City Clerk Kathy Bennett of Menifee said, “If an incumbent fails to file, the deadline for that office will be extended to 5 p.m. on Aug. 13, for everyone except the incumbent.

In Menifee, the city council seats open for election – which will be each for a four-year term – are, one from District 2 and one from Dis-

trict 4. The incumbent for District 2 is Tom Fuhrman and the incumbent in District 4 is John Denver. The mayor’s seat, currently held by Scott Mann, is also up for election.

“This is really the most exciting time of the year for us who work in the city clerk’s office,” said Bennett.

In Wildomar, the seats up for election are Councilmembers, Ben Benoit and Timothy Walker along with Mayor Marsha Swanson.

The mayor’s seat however is appointed and not voted on by the constituents.

“The first day anyone could file was Monday and we were busy; Ben came in at 8 a.m., Marsha at 9 a.m. and Tim at 10 a.m.,” Lees said. “We had a fourth person pull papers Monday afternoon named Israel Leija.”

Temecula also has three council members seats open for election.

The current incumbents are Maryann Edwards, Jeff Comerchero and Ron Roberts.

“Local elections are the level of democracy that effects people the most,” Temecula’s City Clerk Randi Johl-Olson said. “It is local government at its best.”

Incumbent Jeff Comerchero was the first person to pull papers on Tuesday, July 15, according to Johl-Olson.

Lake Elsinore will be voting for two seats up for election, currently held by incumbents Brian Tisdale and Daryl Hickman.

“We are rolling already and its only day two,” City Clerk of Lake Elsinore, Virginia Bloom.

Murrieta’s residents will be able to vote or pull papers for three council seats. The incumbents whose seats are open are, Rick Gibbs, Alan Long and Gene Wunderlich.

“We have been very busy and it is only day two. We had four people pull papers thus far,” said Murrieta’s City Clerk Sarah Manwaring.

Lee would like to remind people to make sure they registered properly or their votes will be invalid.

“Many people don’t realize that even if you moved and are in the same city you have to reregister,” she said. “The address has to match the signature or the vote does not count.”

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has declined to repeal Ordinance 902 that regulates where sex offenders can live or visit. They instead directed county counsel to bring an alternative retaining parts of the ordinance that are still legal under state law to next Tuesday’s meeting. The move comes following the July 2 meeting where, on the recommendation of legal counsel, the board was poised to repeal the entire ordinance following Appeals Court rulings on similar ordinances in nearby areas as unconstitutional.

Supervisor Jeff Stone said that last week he did not support repealing the ordinance because he felt there were many parts of the ordinance that could be upheld.

“That’s why we are here today, to only repeal those portions that the law says are completely illegal,” he said. “The other provisions are being challenged now at the California Supreme Court. But it is my position and I hope your position that we want to keep the laws as strict as we can until we are told otherwise by the California Supreme Court to protect ourselves from the predators.”

Stone registered a “No” vote during the previous meeting, making a political statement regarding the issue. Upon further review, under the direction of Stone, the board decided to leave the residency restrictions in place while removing the loitering components that are now considered to be unconstitutional.

“I voted against that because I felt there were provisions in our existing ordinance that needed to remain,” Stone said. “Those were basically the residency restrictions which I believe are the most important component of the ordinance. The loitering restrictions are deleted in response to the two lawsuits that have been successful

in the cities of Irvine and Orange and so we have been threatened by the same proponents that if we do not comply with state law…then we will be sued and by all accounts we will lose.”

Stone proposed an alternate motion asking county counsel to bring a reintroduction of Ordinance 902.2 repealing only the loitering provisions that have been successfully challenged in other court venues and retaining the residency restrictions to the July 22 meeting.

The motion, seconded by Supervisor Kevin Jefferies passed and will be reconsidered reflecting proposed changes at the next meeting.

Supervisors also approved the use of Community Improvement funds to benefit several area organizations, including a $1,000 award to Murrieta Mesa Music Boosters to allow students an opportunity to compete at the Marching Band Open Series at Silverado high

Back to the Drawing Board: Supervisors decline to repeal ordinance Kim Harris Special to the Valley News

Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent. In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal.

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

Election season has officially begun for local cities Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News

Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some crucial information before you make any moves. AN AGENT CAN COST OR SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!

The crash occurred about 10:05 a.m. south of Nuevo Road. No injuries were reported in the accident, which caused the big rig to overturn, Riverside County Fire Department spokeswoman Jennifer Fuhrman said.

Part of the bridge, which is in a construction zone, fell into northbound lanes, according to the California Highway Patrol.

As of 11:35 am, a Caltrans representative says that the northbound side of Interstate 215 will remain closed for several hours as the crash site is cleared.

The southbound side of I-215 is open as officials on scene have deemed the bridge overpass on that side of the freeway as safe. As for the northbound side, Caltrans estimates the closure, which begins

Temecula staff retains control over Rod Run, but council splits over related donation offer Tim O’Leary Staff Writer Not a whisper of dissent surfaced – from merchants, vintage car buffs or Temecula’s elected leaders – over whether the city should continue to organize Old Town’s signature Rod Run event.

But a rare 3-2 council split came during that same agenda item over whether a prospective donor may deviate from a fledgling policy that allows the city to solicit and accept event-related sponsorship fees.

And that split decision might be voided if the city attorney deems that such a deviation should prompt the council to revisit its Nov. 26 policy decision.

The July 8 council discussion began breezily when Kevin Hawkins, director of community services, used the word “outstanding” to report on the outcome of the first Rod Run operated by the city.

The council’s calm discussion turned into a roiled debate after a side issue – a prospective donation from an undisclosed source – was interjected into the motion to keep the Rod Run under staff jurisdiction.

The March 7-8 event marked the first time that city officials have been in the driver’s seat at the vintage car show. But even as the planning for the March event was wrapping up, it remained

uncertain as to whether the city’s sponsorship would continue into the future.

Since its loose-knit beginning more than 25 years ago, the annual car show was initially sponsored by a coalition of business and community leaders and later by a nonprofit group that was formed mostly of vintage car and truck owners and enthusiasts.

Throughout those years and in March, the city has subsidized the approximately $63,000 that it costs to provide police, fire protection and public works services to the event.

The nonprofit group of car enthusiasts fragmented after one of its leaders moved out of state.

The city initially fielded proposals from four organizations, including a founder of the group that had operated the Rod Run beginning in 1999.

But a city committee shifted gears and recommended that Temecula, rather than any of the four applicants, run the event for at least one year.

In July 2013, council members voted to place the signature event into Temecula’s hands for a oneyear trial period. But they also left the door open for possibly keeping the event under the city’s control indefinitely.

The trial run was a success, city staff reported during the recent council meeting. The March event registered 750 vintage

the $58,331 cost of planning and staging the event, according to a city staff report. That figure included the $10,000 that was split between the Old Town Temecula Association and the Drifters Car Club, a pair of nonprofit groups that helped the city organize and run the event.

In addition to recovering the city’s staging costs, the event reaped a $16,678 surplus that will be disturbed to area nonprofit groups that are annually selected as recipients through the city’s community services grants program.

“I was very pleased the way it was handled,” Councilman Ron Roberts said of the Rod Run during the July 8 meeting. “I think it was one of our best.”

Yet despite the event’s apparent success, Temecula staff stopped short of asking the council to bring the Rod Run under the city’s long-term control. City staff instead recommended that just the 2015 event again fall under Temecula’s jurisdiction.

With that matter resolved, the discussion veered in a thorny direction.

Councilman Chuck Washington broached the new issue by saying that a potential donor, who was not identified, wanted to target funds toward the Rod Run in a way that deviated from city policy.

That policy, which was crafted Nov. 26 following a protracted council debate, was enacted for a one-year period.

It calls for Temecula to steer half of the money raised via such corporate sponsorships to nonprofit groups that currently receive funds under the city’s community services grants.

Such corporate sponsorships may be forged in connection with the 20 to 25 community events that the city sponsors each year.

About five of those functions are large-scale “signature” events such as the Rod Run, Christmas and July 4 parades, a fireworks show and a New Year ’s Eve celebration.

Washington and city staff explained that the potential donor is willing to help sponsor the Rod Run only if all of its contribution goes toward event costs. The dollar amount of the potential donation was also kept confidential.

Councilman Jeff Comerchero argued against such a policy deviation. He warned that such a concession to a prospective donor would set an “awful precedent.”

He said the city must treat all potential donors the same, and a deviation now would dilute the newly-minted sponsorship policy.

Washington and Councilman Mike Naggar disagreed. Naggar called Comerchero’s conclusion “a false premise.”

“There’s no proof of that,” Naggar said. “It’s pure conjecture.”

Naggar told his colleagues that the policy’s revenue sharing requirement had “killed” the corporate sponsorship concept.

He said the policy’s flaws are “coming to fruition” in the case that surfaced during the council meeting.

“I think my point is proved,” Naggar said.

But Comerchero would not be swayed. He and Mayor Maryann Edwards found themselves at the losing end of the split vote that directed city staff to solicit the donation despite the apparent conflict with the sponsorship policy.

But that wasn’t the end of the disagreement over the issue.

After a muted conversation on the dais, City Manager Aaron Adams noted that legal questions had cropped up regarding the motion and vote. Adams said the council’s vote might be suspect because the public had not received advance notice of a possible action along those lines.

Candice Lee, an assistant city attorney, said the “cleanest way” to deal with such an exemption would be to bring the entire corporate donation policy back to the council for discussion at a future public meeting.

Naggar rejected that assessment as he pressed for the vote to stand.

“I would disagree with that,” Naggar countered. “It’s well within our bounds to do that.”

The hearing ended with Adams saying he will ask City Attorney Peter Thorson, who was absent from the meeting, to determine whether the donation discussion and vote was proper or if it must return to the council for a separate review.

Teens transformed into creepy creatures at Temecula Library Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News Teens turned into monsters, zombies and other creatures at the Temecula Library on the evening of July 7, but don’t be alarmed. Their transformation was the result of special effects makeup and only temporary.

Makeup artists Brittany Kane and Amanda Travers visited the library as part of the Creature Feature 2014 Teen Summer Reading Program and gave a workshop on “Making the Monster.”

Kane discussed makeup artistry as a career and shared her educational background and job experiences. She also showed her portfolio and did demonstrations on some of the 22 teens who attended. She was assisted by her friend and work partner Travers.

Kane, 28, is a former Wildomar resident and lives in Los Angeles now. She’s employed at Universal Studios as a ride operator and freelances as a makeup artist in her spare time. She said it’s difficult to find full-time employment in makeup artistry.

“I love it,” Kane told the teens. “It’s the most fun you can have and people give you money for it.” She typically earns $175 a day for about 12 hours of work when she gets a job. She has worked on numerous YouTube parody music videos, two low budget feature films not yet released, a local commercial and Knott’s Scary Farm last year. She’s going to work again at Knott’s this coming Halloween season turning actors into scary sights.

“I like to make people look nasty,” Kane said smiling. Her specialty is scary creature special effects, which she demonstrated on teens randomly selected from the audience.

The first teen selected was James Fortney, 13. Kane and Travers gave him the illusion of a thirddegree burn on his arm using liquid latex, sheets of torn tissue and makeup. Fortney enjoyed getting “burned” and was all smiles during the process.

Michael Larry Rounds was born on June 25, 1943 and passed away on December 18, 2013. A graveside memorial service will be held for Mr. Rounds at Sunset View Cemetery in El Cerrito, California (94530) on Thursday, July 24, 2014 at 2:00 p.m.

The loved and cherished RICKY “RICK” LAMONT ROBINS, 45, of Temecula, California died tragically and unexpectedly on July 4, 2014.

Rick was born October 25, 1968, in San Diego, California to James Norman Robins and Rosetta Mae (Robins) Phelps. Rick lived

in San Diego until he moved to Huntsville, Alabama to attend sixth grade at Oakwood Academy.

After returning to San Diego, he attended the San Diego Academy until his 12th-grade graduation, after which he immediately enrolled in college at Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama.

Rick left Oakwood and attended Loma Linda University in Loma Linda, California for a short period before returning to Oakwood University where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 1994.

Following graduation, Rick remained in Huntsville to work until he moved back to San Diego to embark upon his career in the pharmaceutical research industry.

Rick loved the Lord and accepted Jesus Christ at an early age. He loved to sing, dance and play basketball. During Rick’s church ministry work in San Diego, he headed a youth ministry called Y.E.S. (Youth Empowerment Society), feeding and ministering to the homeless and supporting the local community.

During a business trip in July 2000, Rick met Tameekia “Tami” Clayborne. It was love at first sight. They were married soon after into holy matrimony on June 3, 2001, in San Diego’s Garden of Roses. Rick and Tami resided in San Diego until they moved to Southern California’s beautiful Temecula Valley 10 years ago.

Their love was admired, the couple having been recognized nationally in USA Today.

Rick was an innovative and progressive entrepreneur. He founded Trialogic Research, Inc. – innovative research coaching. The company continues as a successful company focused on creating successful outcomes of clinical trials for the pharmaceutical industry.

Rick’s smile and laughter was contagious and infectious and touched everyone he met in a special way. He loved life and saw the good in everyone. He was a giver and a believer. He gave himself unconditionally to everyone he met, seeing the good and potential in all persons. As a result, he encouraged and uplifted everyone that crossed his path.

His love of life translated into a passion for helping others. A true leader of self and others, Rick helped to create an incredible legacy with his results. Rick’s commitment to bettering himself and inspiring others to do the same led him to start the first PSI Basic Seminar, in Murrieta, California —a course dedicated to helping others increase their personal and professional effectiveness.

Rick lived life to the fullest, always believing that there was more to be achieved. He lived by his personal contract: He was a devoted husband, a loving father and the glue that brought so many people together and encouraged them all to be “All In.” Rick died achieving his goals, dreams and desires. Rick had a love for life and was always so full of life and energy that we are all honored to have been blessed to have loved him and been loved by him. While knowing this man, we have been touched by his faith, impressed by his passion and inspired by his vision.

Rick was a loving son, grandson, brother, husband, father, nephew, cousin, uncle, and a true friend.

Rick would want all of us to live life to the fullest, as if it were our last day, giving Glory to God who in His infinite wisdom took him from us. Rick would say do not mourn, rejoice as time will heal the pain, and tears will leave no stain.

Let us gather our strength from his passion and faith and push forward as he would have wanted us to do. May God continue to bless his family, his friends, relations and everyone he touched. May his spirit of positivity continue to fester amongst us all, and may the almighty God give us the ability to see the good in others as Rick did.

Until we meet again, may his soul rest in peace.

“And Jesus answered them, saying, ‘The hour has come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honor.’” John 12:23-26 (KJV) While on a 30-day dream vacation with his wife and two sons in Costa Rica, Rick was caught up in a Pacific Ocean riptide and passed away from an accidental drowning.

Rick was preceded in death by his grandfathers Grandison M. Phelps, Jr., Roosevelt Brown, and Herbert Robins; grandmother Melissa M. Brown (date of death June 24, 2014); sister Angela Robins; uncle Don Brown; aunts Peggy Brown and Christine Hicklen.

He leaves to celebrate his life: his loving wife of 13 years Tameekia “Tami” (Clayborne) Robins, daughter Arielle Brittney Pergerson (age 20), sons Malakai Nolen (age 7) and Gavin Mateo Robins (age 5); mother Rosetta M.

Refugee camp needed

Protesters are doing the American thing

The Obama administration should give consideration to making the City of Detroit a site camp for refugees from South America given the availability of housing, land use, and need for infusion of federal monies to support the cities operation given its bankruptcy status. The holistic social services and administrative judicial actions required to process refugees should not be delegated to independent locations through out the U.S. U.S. Peace Corps volunteers can be

reassigned to Detroit to assist in the compensation required to process a large number of children. This task should not be delegated by the federal government to military sites, for our veterans have the same needs as refugees for social services, health care and employment.

Since closing the border is not an option that the Obama administration or Congress is prepared to support, a universal plan is required to cope with the so called “death trains” of

refugees seeking asylum in this country. Given the totality of the problem it is incumbent on Congress to pass legislation changing the current law on refugee status. Now is the time for churches, charitable organizations and lawyer guilds to step forward and volunteer resources rather than complain “We are better than this.”

Selby Parker Sr. Clinton, Mississippi

I would like to get my message to those who are actually doing the protesting, if you will. Thank you each and every one of you for doing what so many of us aren’t in the position to do.

I am very proud of you Americans.

America is a country built originally on immigration, but there is much work to be done to bring justice to each side, immigrants and Americans by birth. You are taking the first, and I feel the most important, step by

showing that a constant influx of illegals is one thing we cannot tolerate and one road that will not bring about the desired result of citizenship.

Thank you; you are as American as the soldiers who have died for our freedoms and much more American than the man who calls himself our President. My heart and prayers are with you. And may God be your Guide.

Water district reduces strain on local water supply Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News

Starting in July, several businesses within the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District (EVMWD) service area began using recycled water to irrigate their lawns, landscapes and fields in an effort to reduce a strain on the local water supply.

EVMWD built a network of recycled water pipes within the last few years, and these have been colored purple for easy identification throughout Wildomar and Southern Lake Elsinore.

As the demand for water grows and the water supplies dwindle, EVMWD had the foresight to install the pipelines with the un-

derstanding that once a sufficient supply of recycled water was available, the needs of these areas would be fulfilled. Prior to now, the pipelines have supplied potable water as a substitute in place of the recycled water.

Greg Morrison with EVMWD said some of the recipients of this beneficial water source include the Lake Elsinore Unified School District, the Wildomar Cemetery District, and the City of Wildomar.

“This is a new first for businesses in Wildomar,” Morrison said.

Recycled water is sewer water sent from homes and businesses through pipelines to a treatment facility where it is cleaned and ensured safe to return to the environment.

Recycled water offers great value and benefits, while maintaining high health and safety standards for our community. It helps offset future dry spells while shoring up the reliability of our overall water supply, keeping water rates reasonable.

“Expanding our use of recycled water to more of our local businesses allows them to have a health and safety conscious choice to irrigate their landscapes without tapping into our precious drinking water supply,” said Andy Morris, EVMWD Board President.

EVMWD’s highly treated recycled water has been approved by the federal government to be used for non-drinking purposes and has been used throughout the

EVMWD service area for irrigation and as a supplemental supply for Lake Elsinore for more than two decades. Recycled water irrigation

within the EVMWD service area is permissible at select approved irrigation sites at times when the public is not expected to be present.

Local PECHANGA from page A-1 There was a “Boys and Girls” class, “Juniors” class, “Teen” class, “Adult” class, “Golden Age” class and “Golden Golden Age” class; the “Golden Golden Age” class consisted of dancers who were 63-years-old and older.

Each of these groups participated in various competitions throughout the course of the three day event.

On each of these three days there were grand entries, when dance participants of all ages gathered together in the circular arena to dance.

But dancing was not the only way that American Indians at the event celebrated their heritage.

Song was another way for these individuals to not only connect with their culture and their history, but to share those things with members of the audience.

On June 12, Tiinesha Begaye of the Navajo-Cree performed a song that she composed herself in her native language. So did Blackfeet singer Aurora Bearchild Mamea.

The event was emceed by Thomas Phillips of the Kiowa-Muscogee Creek. Phillips remarked to his audience that he’s been to the Pechanga Pow Wow for many of the 19 years that it’s taken place, but that it always seems to grow with each passing year.

“Every year it gets better and better,” Phillips said, pointing to the green lush grass in the circular area where the dancing was taking place. He said he thought the various classes of dancers would appreciate such a nice area to celebrate their culture and dance.

Food was another part of the event and there were dozens of options to choose from. There were barbeque booths as well as booths offering up traditional Indian staples like fry bread, a kind of flat bread that is made with lard and flower.

Fry bread has a history dating back to the time that Natives were fist being sent to reservations. They were given portions of certain staples like lard and flower and these were used to make the dough, which is often served up as a base for tacos.

Lucy Hale’s Indian Tacos was a favorite for fry bread at the event for many who attended. Dozens lined up on July 13 to get a taste of the bread.

Sandra Hale, owner of the booth, said she learned to cook the fry bread from her 77-year-old mother Lucy and added that her booth was different than others because the dough for the fry bred wasn’t pre-prepared.

“We make our own dough,” Hale said. “Some of those other dudes, they use a machine.”

Hale said that she mixes the ingredients and makes the dough right before it gets fried. She said freshly-made dough results in fluffier fry bread than the kind that’s already prepared. She said that as of that day she had gone through 20 bags of flower.

“You can tell people like it,” she said. “Just look at the line.”

The three day event ended at 5 p.m. that day and dancers were presented with awards.

The sun may have set on the Pechanga Pow Pow but it will be back this same time next year and guests will be able to eat, shop and watch dances once again.

He pegged the anticipated development costs at more than $30 million.The council decision was set against a backdrop of failed development attempts on the 32-acre tract that is owned by the city at the north end of Diaz Road.

It also unfolded amid a change in the potential project’s competitive edge in the region. Since the last time the Temecula water park came up for review, Riverside County has opened a $24 million water park on 12 acres that flank the cities of Menifee and Perris.

The Temecula water park plan, as well as the publicly-owned site, is at the hub of one of the most colorful and problem-laced development sagas in the 25-year history of the fast-growing city.

For decades, the site was the home of tractor races and other community events and fundraisers.

The city purchased the 32-acre site in 1992 for $3.8 million with the aim to build affordable housing and possibly other related uses there.

In January 2000, then-Councilman Karel Lindemans urged the council to proceed with a so-called Field of Dreams baseball complex there. But the council rejected a developer’s $8.5 million proposal, saying that cost was more than twice the amount the city had available then to build its second sports park.

At that time, Temecula’s budget surpluses and its ability to leverage redevelopment revenues combined to make the city a regional leader

after he saw the havoc show that he realized that he badly miscalculated. I’m very disappointed,” he wrote.

Nancy Ashley thanked Brenner for pushing to have Long censured. «As residents we now can›t say where we›re from and feel a sense of pride. I am embarrassed by the actions of those protesting,» she wrote.

Petition supporting Long Murrieta resident Patricia Padilla started the second petition that supports Long and disagrees that the council should censure him. The petition praises Long for stepping up and confronting the nation’s broken immigration policy. It states that he showed great leadership during a difficult time and should be commended not censured.

Padilla launched her petition on July 13 at change.org and over 450 people have signed it. She couldn’t

be reached for comment.

Padilla’s petition signers from Murrieta also posted comments stating why they support Long.

Donna Fuller thinks that Long is a man of integrity who’s doing his best to serve the community. “As our mayor, he kept the community informed and advised all concerned citizens to voice their opinions with federal representatives,” she wrote.

Sheila Dee also admires Long and how he’s handled the immigration situation. “Long has been thrust in the spotlight in one of the most controversial topics around: Illegal Immigration. He has done an outstanding job representing us and standing firm on this matter. I›m honored to be a resident of Murrieta and proud to have the city council that we do,” she wrote.

Diane Figgs objects to censuring Long. “I support our mayor and reject censure by many who don›t even live here,” she wrote.

Long’s reaction to petitions “Everyone has a right to their opinion,” Long said. He urges citizens to view a video of the June 30 press conference on the City of Murrieta’s website so they can judge for themselves how he disseminated information about immigrant transfers.

Long said that Brenner’s petition is based on “assumptions and false information.” He rejects the claim that his press conference statements incited residents to protest.

“Over 70 percent of the protesters were from out of the area,” he said. He added that it’s unfortunate that national media showed a seven-second clip of the protest at its height, which wasn’t good for Murrieta’s reputation.

“People are at a boiling point,” Long commented. “We have a broken (immigration) system. What I’ve learned is that both sides want

the same thing. They want a fair, efficient and legal system.”

Long said he tried to reach Brenner through email on her petition page, but she didn’t respond to him. “I offered to talk to her and give her accurate information,” he said.

Council Member Randon Lane opposes Brenner’s petition and said he won’t agree to censure Long after Brenner gives the petition to the council. He believes that protesters would have been in front of the station even if Long hadn’t made any statements to the media.

“I don’t think Mayor Long handled this (situation) inappropriately,” Lane said.

in constructing public buildings, parks, museums and other recreational amenities.

An apartment developer subsequently proposed a project at the Diaz Road site that would be anchored by a joint-use college complex. That project called for the construction of classroom towers, conference and research centers, retail stores, a child care center and an apartment complex with affordable units.

Progress lagged when that education project became hampered by soil compaction and grading problems, the discovery of Indian cultural sites, earthquake fault requirements and leasing and financing questions.

Those difficulties prompted Temecula council members to terminate a development deal with that developer. Council members blamed the project’s collapse on the developer, saying he failed to obtain the financing needed to close escrow and take other steps to move the project forward.

The developer, however, blamed many of the delays on city-mandated changes and the stiff obstacles that the project had to overcome.

The developer countered that he had obtained financing for the project. The developer abandoned that site and instead focused on a Murrieta parcel as the proposed site of the college facility.

Clearwater Waterpark Development then entered the scene.

Clearwater initially wanted to build its water park on a site wedged between Ynez Road and Interstate 15, and it won city approvals to proceed there. But a lawsuit by a neighboring commercial property owner prompted Clearwater to look elsewhere.

Clearwater then targeted the Diaz Road parcel, and the city agreed in 2009 to sell a 20-acre chunk of that

site for $6.7 million.

Based in Orange County, Clearwater ran the Wild Rivers water park in Irvine before it closed in September 2011 to clear the way for the construction of apartments at that location.

Clearwater’s Splash Canyon won approval from Temecula’s Planning Commission for the Diaz Road site in 2009. But the deal fizzled a year later after Clearwater couldn’t secure construction financing.

Temecula had expected to net $5.7 million after the land sale because it earmarked about $1 million to mitigate existing soil conditions.

By then, Temecula’s prowess as a redevelopment pioneer had begun to fade, and in 2012 the county opened a Big League Dreams baseball and softball complex in the unincorporated community of Romoland. That site, which is on the cusp of Menifee and Perris, is adjacent to the Eastern Municipal Water District headquarters.

In May 2012, Temecula council agreed to sell the 20-acre site to Wild Rivers Temecula LLC, which included some Clearwater executives, for $2.34 million.

The sharp drop in the land’s value was questioned by a city resident at the time of the sale. City staff and council members defended the lower price by citing the recessionfueled drop in real estate values and a declining demand for industrial

and commercial land.

At that time, the water park was expected to cost more than $20 million to develop. It was expected to attract about 286,000 customers a year and employ 500 or more teens and adults on a seasonal basis.

But the escrow deadline passed and construction never began. The development plan’s approval was extended, and it will remain in effect until January 2015. If needed, another extension could be granted, according to city planning staff.

Riedel, who was involved in the previous Wild Rivers bid, said the partnership plans to update its feasibility study and determine the amount of soil preparation work that will be needed before construction can begin on the new project.

The agreement approved by the council on July 8 sets a one-month negotiation deadline. It also permits a one-month extension if needed to seal the deal or hold any necessary hearings. The negotiations will be held behind closed doors, but a sale agreement must return to the council for approval in an open session.

The years lost due to financing problems may have blunted some of the project’s competitive edge in the region.

In May, the county opened its $24 million Drop Zone Waterpark along Trumble Road adjacent to the Big Leagues baseball complex.

That water park opened as the

newest county parks facility, and its opening attracted an estimated 750 people.

The park features an aviation and skydiving theme. It has a capacity of about 1,800 visitors, and was built with redevelopment funds that were set aside by county supervisors in March 2011. That county action took place a few months before California lawmakers abolished all redevelopment programs throughout the state.

The county water park features an Olympic-size pool that is available to area swim clubs and high school teams. It also includes two large water slides, a “lazy river” ride, a hydroplane “flowrider,” sand volleyball courts, a snack bar, covered eating area and other amenities.

Daily admission prices range from $9 for tots to $18 for adults.

Season passes can be purchased and discounts are available for seniors and swim-only customers.

In a brief interview following the Temecula council meeting, Riedel said he does not believe the Drop Zone will draw many customers away from Temecula, Murrieta, Winchester and northern San Diego County.

“I doubt that (water park) will affect us,” Riedel said. “We’re talking about building ours on a grander scale than that.”

Pets

Pampered pet pig lives high on the hog

Baxter suns himself on the backyard patio.

Baxter has a custom-made chaise lounge in his bedroom.

Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News Baxter is a pet pig that has it made. He lives in a beautiful home and has his own downstairs bedroom with a specially constructed entrance to a backyard patio where he can lie on comfortable pillows and sunbathe at his leisure. His bedroom is furnished with a custommade chaise lounge and he even has a Tempur-Pedic mattress with luxurious bedding to sleep on after a hard day of being adored by his family.

“He’s very spoiled,” admitted his owner who asked that her name and location not be given to protect her privacy.

Baxter’s owner fell in love with pigs when she was five and saw one for the first time in a movie. From that moment on, she longed for one as a pet. However, it took her 51 years to finally get one.

“I like things that are unusual,” she said, explaining why she wanted a Vietnamese miniature potbellied pig.

Baxter is almost four and nearly grown at 165-pounds. His owner describes herself as a “big animal lover.” She attended veterinary school, but didn’t finish because she kept fainting from the sight of blood. So, instead she’s devoted herself to caring for animals. In addition to Baxter, she has three SharPei dogs, an aquarium of fish and may add a cat to her brood soon because they get along well with pigs.

She originally planned to adopt a pig from a rescue. However, two adoption opportunities fell through. She was so sad and disappointed that her husband went to a breeder and brought Baxter home as a surprise when he was five weeks old. She was delighted to get Baxter, but annoyed with her husband for going to a breeder and paying for a pig when there are so many that need homes and are up for adoption. Also, he was too young to have been taken from his mother at the age of five weeks. She’s since forgiven her husband.

down. “Way too many are being sold by breeders who want to make a buck,” she said. “Pigs are being sold for an exorbitant amount of money and are sent un-neutered.” She also wants pet shops to stop selling pigs because there are already too many in shelters that need to be adopted.

Baxter’s owner is extremely involved with the non-profit group Southern California Association for Miniature Potbellied Pigs (SCAMPP). It educates the public about pigs, helps them get adopted and provides useful information for pig owners. She said the public doesn’t realize what’s involved in responsibly owning a pig. They aren’t aware of the environment and training they need, the size they will become as adults or their life span. They typically live 15 to 20 years and can grow up to 250 pounds. She said “teacup” or 40 pound pigs don’t exist. ​​“If you really want one, do your homework,” she advises. She did a lot of research before getting Baxter so she knew what she was in for.

“Pigs are extremely intelligent.

They have a mental capacity of a two to three year old,” she said.

Some of the commands Baxter knows are sit, stay, down, bow, kiss, wave and, shake hands. He can do figure 8s through his owner’s legs. She said pigs are easier to train than dogs and can learn a trick in about 15 minutes. They’re also litter box trained.

Baxter’s diet is closely monitored so he won’t get bigger than he should. He eats one cup of pig chow in the morning and another cup in the evening. During the day, he’s allowed to snack on leafy greens, zucchini, cucumbers and other vegetables. He only gets fruit occasionally as a treat because it can pack on pounds. He’s given Cheerios and apple flavored horse treats to get him to comply with a command.

“They’re pig crack,” Baxter’s owner joked as she tossed some apple treats on the floor for him. He quickly gobbled them down. He was two pounds when she got him and will gain

about 20 more pounds before he’s fully grown. ​ “It’s too bad that pigs get a bad rap,” Baxter’s owner said.

She added that most people have misconceptions about pigs and think they’re loud and dirty. She made Baxter into a therapy pet and takes him out on a leash in public to change misconceptions. He’s been to a library, rest home, shopping mall, fair and other events. He’s always had positive interactions with the public. He likes to get in the car to go places and meet people.

“He gives joy to people,” she said.

Baxter only gets bathed before he goes out in public because his owner wants him to look his best. She said pigs don’t actually need baths because they aren’t dirty animals.

They don’t have sweat glands and only roll in mud as a form of sun protection.

trimmed. He hates it and squeals in protest because the groomers have to flip him on his back. His owner laughingly said that another pig owner she knows gives her pig a couple of beers before hoof trimming so it’s calmer during the procedure.

Baxter was neutered when he was 12 weeks old because pigs start breeding at the age of three months.

“The sooner, the better,” his owner

said concerning that subject.

She recommends pigs as pets if a person is able to handle their requirements. “They’re really quite fun,” she said, smiling.

Three great offers for Murrieta pet owners Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Finances remain tight for many in the Valley and in an effort to help families and their pets, the City of Murrieta and Animal Friends of the Valley have partnered to offer a “Dog License Late Fee Waiver Program.”

The program is a partnership between AFV and the participating cities and is called the Regional Coordinated Marketing Program & Reduced Licensing Fees. There will be 2000 microchips divided between four cities.

The program, which begins in Murrieta, allows residents in the city who have unlicensed dogs or expired dog licenses to comply

with state and local laws without paying a late fee. The program is only for a limited time from July 14-31. The goal is to reduce pet overpopulation in the shelter by 10 percent and adoptable pet euthanasia by 15 percent in the next year.

“We have on a daily basis an average of 407 animals in the shelter,”

Traditional yet modern dining at Corner Bakery Café

Swiss oatmeal served chilled is an European muesli made with low fat yogurt, rolled oats, green apples, bananas, currants, cranberries and skim milk is just 350 calories and costs under $5.

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News he newest restaurant in Temecula, Corner Bakery, is a hit. The fast casual restaurant opened its doors this month where the old Original Road House Grill once stood with lines of customers going out the door at peak times.

When you walk into the restaurant the brick walls and dark woods welcome you like an old neighborhood pub. The feel is open. But with a mix of booths, tables and a community hub spot you can be as social or private as you like while dining. On the walls the photographs have scenes of the local community, creating a look that’s traditional and familiar yet simultaneously modern.

The Corner Bakery Café has franchises nationwide but the restaurant in Temecula is owned locally by David Beshay of Feast California Cafe, LLC. Beshay lives in Murrieta with his family.

“I live here in the community and choose Temecula because it is the type of place I can take my own family,” Beshay said.

Feast California Café, LLC and the franchise group, also owns the Corner Bakery Café at UTC

T

in San Diego and Carlsbad. A second Temecula café will open this year in the Sprouts shopping center off of Temecula Parkway, making Temecula the only city in the nation allowed to have two Corner Bakery restaurants.

According to Beshay, what sets Corner Bakery Café apart from others is all the food is made fresh on a stove or in an oven after ordering.

“We do not assemble our food; we cook, grill and bake our food in the restaurant with a full service kitchen,” Beshay said. “We don’t reheat our meals. Our warm meals are cooked over an open flame and made to order.”

Coffee and desserts are always favorites.

The Movie Review: “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” Robert T. Nickerson Special to the Valley News It was Earth all along! This may have been one of the biggest twists in a movie when this revelation was set in stone for Charlton Heston in the 1968 classic, “Planet of the Apes.”

But truth to be told, I’ve never seen any of the original movies.

My first exposure to series was actually in 2001 when I was taken to the remake, directed by Tim Burton. As it was, I didn’t see much within that movie and I barely remember much of it at all (showing how forgettable it was). So if Fox wanted to continue the troubled franchise, then they knew not to remake what was fine already.

Jump to 2011 when “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was released.

Like plenty of people, I thought that this was going to bomb. But like all film critics, it’s better to be pleasantly surprised then bitterly disappointed. The movie proved to be smart, well written, and even showcased some great effects, giving a motion-captured ape the lead role.

It was by no means a masterpiece, but it was a fun new introduction to the Planet of the Apes universe without repeating much (except for a line reference or two that I snickered at). “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” continues the story, creating a rare sequel that’s better than its predecessor.

The previous film left off with the ALZ-113 virus that made the apes smarter while also being the weapon that kills most of humanity, collapsing the world’s governments and civilization as we know them.

It’s now 2016 where people that were genetically immune have taken home in a now desolate San Francisco, lead by Dreyfus (played

by Gary Oldman). In the Muir Woods, Caesar (played by Andy Serkis) has lead his fellow community of Apes into a new way of life, thinking that all the humans have gone.

Dreyfus wants to wage war with

the apes to gain control of a hydraulic dam that’s in their territory.

A young father named Malcolm (played by Jason Clarke) convinces Dreyfus to give him three days to try and gain peace with the apes.

He leads a small group of people into ape territory and seems to do well for a while to convince the apes to help them. The peace is short lived when another ape, Koba, who has held a grudge against humanity due to being abusively tested on, burns the ape community and blames it on the humans. Without saying what happens to Caesar, the apes retaliate by returning to San Francisco to start the war against humanity.

Not only has “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” surprised me with how much better it was from the first one, it also made me excited with the prospect of what another follow up could do. Both Jason Clarke and Gary Oldman seem settled into playing postapocalyptic survivors, both looking torn from struggle, but with a desire to survive. Let’s face it though, with this kind of movie, the apes are the real stars.

Its hard to believe that no real animals were used in this movie.

Weta studios (the same team behind the CGI in the Lord of the Rings movies) took what was successful from the first movie and built upon them. You can see every hair on their bodies, the wrinkles on their eyes, the scars on their faces, and even the right texture that makes their skin liable to touch. The special effects are unbelievably fantastic, simple as that.

Watching them move like real animals made me question if this film will make a mark on special effects just as “Star Wars,” Ghostbusters” and Titanic” did.

I’ll give this five Caesar apes out of five. This new dawn simply proves that these apes rule. This is a fun blockbuster that deserves to be successful.

PETS from page A-10 said Kris Anderson, President of the Board of Director for Animal Friends of the Valley In 2013, the shelter euthanized ten percent of placeable animals and 22 percent non-placeable animals. The shelter took in a total of 9,308 animals in 2013.

“Despite all the advertising and marketing we do, we need people to be responsible pet owners in case they get out,” Anderson said.

“You can keep the animal for life if you spay or neuter, license and microchip.”

“We as a city were on board right away,” said Nancy Driggers, who manages the contract with AFV for the city of Murrieta.

“The city was so excited to offer their residents benefits they are trying to earmark even more funds to reduce the animals at the shelter,” Anderson said.

Dog owners are strongly encouraged to license during this period to avoid future late penalties and citations. State law requires that any dog over the age of four months or within thirty days of moving into a city must have a current rabies vaccination and a dog license.

In addition to late fee waivers, residents in Murrieta can receive a free microchip for their pets. A microchip is a foolproof way of identifying your pet. It ensures a safe return should the pet become lost. This free program will be available while supplies last.

“Based on shelters stats 90% percent of animals who arrive at shelter do not have chips and the animals that do have tags or chips go home right away about 95 percent of the time.” Anderson said.

“Two thirds of animals coming into the shelter are not fixed, despite all the programs and statistics on the importance of spaying and neutering,” Anderson said. “It’s a mentality of a disposable society is the reason we have shelters.”

“This is an opportunity for our

July 26 – 8 p.m. Comedy at the Merc, 42051 Main Street, Temecula. Presented by PRN residents. With a downturn in the economy there are people who can’t pay their fees and then they get accessed penalties and we will waive fees for this two week period,” Driggers said.

“This is a wonderful program and we hope the residents will take advantage of it,” he added.

Residents who qualify as low income in Murrieta can also receive a spay or neuter voucher for their dogs or cats. To qualify residents must prove they are low income and show proof of residency. To qualify as low income an individual must have a maximum income of $1,500 per month, a couple must have a maximum income of $2,500 per month and a family must have a maximum income of $4,000.

According to reports, the average costs for a single pet spay or neuter is $80 for dog and $50 for a cat.

Animal Friends of the Valley encourages residents in Lake Elsinore, Temecula and Wildomar to check their city’s websites to see when this program will be available in their community.

“We plan to hold a similar event in October for Lake Elsinore. We budget over $835k for animal control field and shelter services in Lake Elsinore,” said Nicole Dailey, a management analyst with the city of Lake Elsinore.

Dailey said the cities have not come together as a regional effort until now to help promote animal control.

Lake Elsinore has reduced their fees for the rest of the year to encourage licensing. Cats and dogs both need to be licensed in Lake Elsinore.

Temecula is awaiting city council approval according to Dailey and Lake Elsinore is considering October to hold their city program.

Please call Animal Friends of the Valleys at 951 674-0618 for further information. The shelter is located at 33751 Mission Trail in Wildomar.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Romancing the Buyer

Staging a home for sale Paul Bandong Staff Writer Think of this as romancing the buyer – you want your home to look good, smell good, be attractive, welcoming and comfortable.

You want the buyers to fall in love with your home. This is more about aesthetics: design, organization and appearance.

The goal is to prepare the home to appeal to the most potential buyers, sell the home more quickly and for the highest selling price.

You’ve done all the functional and mechanical repairs needed in the home. Now it is time to stage your home, to think about what would be attractive to a buyer. Here are some general guidelines.

Curb Appeal.

Like a blind date, first impressions are important and that means staging your exterior for maximum curb appeal. This may include a fresh coat of paint on the body and the trim, a neatly mowed and edged lawn (sod and repair as necessary), fresh mulch in flower/plant beds (remove weeds), trim bushes or trees (especially around windows and doors), and clean windows

(screens and frames, too). A new front door or fresh paint on the door is worth the money and effort.

Power-washing cement entryways, patios, and driveways can also be a plus.

The entryway should be welcoming, free of clutter and well-lit. Use a high-quality welcome mat. Place fresh, bright flowers and plants near the entry.

Attract the Buyer In. Bright lighting, fresh smells (vs smoke, pets, last night’s dinner, etc.), clean flooring, fresh flowers and an open spacious entry create a welcoming entrance that makes the buyer want to see the rest of the house.

Reduce Clutter.

Strive for a simple clean look to maximize the space throughout the house. Reducing the items on shelves, in closets, hallways and cabinets will also give you a head start on packing for moving. Removing personal photos and items will help buyers picture their own items – and themselves -- in the house.

see STAGING, page B-4

When staging the kitchen, de-clutter and maximize usable counter space.

First impressions are important. A neatly mowed and edged lawn, and fresh mulch in flower beds go a long way.

Stock photos

Make bedrooms look comfortable with luxurious bedding and accent pillows. Remove excess furniture and personal photos.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Hardscape in the garden

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer

Think about what you like and enjoy when putting together a garden, as you want it to reflect your personality.

Lisa McDonald-Cash photo

Hello, fellow gardeners! This week I thought I’d talk about another very important part of your garden and that is not the plants; its everything else, and its called your “hardscape.”

Hardscape consists of items such as your walkways, paths, pool, patio, decks, ornamentation, boulders and more. I consider anything that doesn’t grow hardscape.

This should be the first step in

designing a new garden, or redesigning an existing one. Not everybody wants to change their hardscape, and that’s ok, if your existing hardscape fits your garden plan. Take pathways for example.

Typically the builder puts in a standard “L” shaped pathway leading to the front door. It’s pretty boring really, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be! You can remove sections of it and insert bricks or lay tiles in where those sections used to be. You can even get it stained and edged, or rip the whole thing out and put in stamped concrete; the choices are endless!

The only limit is your own imagination, and of course, resources and finances as well. When I meet a client for the first time, I try to learn something about them from how they decorate their house – what kind of tastes do they have?

Are they very neat, or do they have lots of “knick knacks” – do they have hobbies etc. You should do this with yourself, and determine

The addition of waterways such as ponds and fountains can make a striking addition to gardens.

HARDSCAPE from page B-1 what you like.

Possibly you might enjoy a spa tub? You could have a stepping stone, or gravel pathway leading to the spa in the backyard. Perhaps you might like to have shrubs surrounding the hot tub also.

Think about how you walk around your yard. Where do you naturally want to walk? This is where you need pathways. If you have lawn, you could easily insert large stepping stones recessed right into the lawn and mow right over them.

Would you like to have an area outdoors for entertaining? Perhaps a firepit surrounded by a comfortable seating area would work.

Firepits are great, both in winter and summer. They have those that can attach to a gas line from the house, or those that use real wood; its up to you to decide.

I think water in the garden is an extremely important element, in one form or another. There are many beautiful fountains available to suit literally any and every taste, color, or scheme. Ponds are a lovely addition to a backyard; they add an entire dimension with the water.

The water element allows you to get creative and add a number of different features such as a waterfall, beautiful plants, rocks, boulders and aquatic life like fish or turtles to complete the eco system.

There are companies that specialize in installing these, or you can get a good book on the subject and “do it yourself.”

There are many places where you can buy the products you need to complete a pond. However, water in general looks nice in what is basically a desert. It’s so nice to have that water element, whether it’s a pool, spa, fountain, or pond in your landscape.

Retaining walls are great for leveling out sloped property so that you can then utilize that space for gardening. Again, the material is up to you, but I recommend something that goes with the house, or a similar material or color that is in some other part of the hardscape, such as a walkway.

Wood structures such as gazebos, pergolas, patio covers, even archways, all look fantastic in the garden in the right place. Most add welcome shade to an area that might not otherwise have it and welcome people to come and sit awhile, especially if you have some attractive inviting seating provided there as well. Make sure if they are painted that the color goes well with the house.

Another part of “hardscaping” is lighting. Many people don’t think much about it, but in Southern California in the summer, outdoors is a really nice place to be, especially if you entertain, or maybe you’re just cooking on that amazing outdoor kitchen or barbeque grill for the family.

In addition to lighting the areas you “hang out” in you might also consider the beauty of “uplighting” some key focal points in your

Lisa McDonald-Cash photo

garden – typically large trees, but boulders, waterfalls, a group of cactus, anything that’s particularly “striking” would look great at night with the benefit of uplighting.

Gates, walls, fencing – these are all hardscape, and although in many areas, we get what the developer put in, we can still often change that. If you have a choice, do something that reflects your tastes.

I like the look of real wood myself, especially redwood or cedar.

And there are many variations on fences that you can choose from, depending on your finances and tastes.

With gates you can get a little more creative; you can add shapes and other features into them. Be sure to put some thought into how a gate or similar structure will blend with your garden, which should be a reflection on who and what you are.

I think rocks and boulders are very important in the garden, as they can have a tremendous presence if placed correctly. They also give you a connection with the earth and nature. I recommend utilizing all the same type of rock or boulders.

And if you have gravel, I would try to keep that similar as well.

That’s all for this week, folks!

If you have questions, feel free to contact me, and as always I am available for consultations and design work.

Is now the right time to trade-in my home? erty, not allowing owner-occupied financing. In today’s competitive market, most buyers will be willing to cooperate, allowing you to find your new home and close your own escrow if the home is priced right and in great condition.

BUYING TECHNIQUES As a move-up buyer with a house to sell, a smart move is to limit your search to homes that have been on the market or 30 days or more. While this is not a long time in a ‘normal’ market, the seller will no doubt be feeling anxious and probably more willing to negotiate a contingency allowing the buyer to sell their home.

The objective will be to convince the seller to believe they are better off accepting your contingent offer than waiting for another buyer to come along. It should go without saying that a full price offer should be made with few other contingencies and if you want a long escrow, perhaps sweeten the pot with a little extra purchase price.

By having your financing locked in, removing a loan contingency is another strong move that can work in your favor.

A seller may accept your contingent offer with a ‘kick-out clause’ that will enable them to keep their home on the market and if a better offer comes in, they can ‘kick’ your contract with an appropriate notice, giving you the opportunity to move forward with your contract.

As the buyer, having more flexibility in location may work for

John Occhi & Mike Mason Today’s Temecula and Murrieta buyers looking to buy up or buy down face many challenges in an ever-evolving real estate market. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a larger home for your family with more yards for the kids and dogs to play or are downsizing to a smaller home with less maintenance…the challenges are all the same. Juggling two real estate transactions at once is not an easy task for even the most diligent.

Since many of our Temecula and Murrieta neighbors once again have equity in their homes, many are planning on selling their homes to buy another, as the local real estate market continues to appreciate.

The local Temecula and Murrieta market conditions can be both a blessing and a curse to the move-up buyer. The thought of limited inventory to select a new home from is not something to look forward to, but when selling your current home you’ll welcome the bidding war that buyers will generate for the right home in the right neighborhood.

The trick, of course, is in managing and even juggling simultaneous transactions – a task that can be both frenzied and daunting to even the most experienced homeowner.

In the worst case scenario not only can the dream home be lost, but the earnest money deposit that comes with it can be lost as well.

While every seller-buyer is different and each has their own personal scenario, they still must answer the all-important universal question, “Can I afford to pay two mortgages at once if I buy before I sell? Or do I prepare to move twice, if I sell before I buy?”

SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO? The biggest issue about buying before you sell of course is financing. With the newest provision of the Dodd-Frank Act having taken effect the first of this year, it’s still unclear how the lenders will interpret the federal law aimed at protecting consumers while maintaining the integrity of federally insured mortgages. Now more than ever, it’s critical to speak with your lender and investigate how a ‘Qualified Mortgage’ effects your personal situation.

Some move-up buyers will decide to not pay two mortgage payments and just go ahead and move in with friends or family… or perhaps rent an apartment or

you as well. While certain local neighborhoods turn homes quicker than others, there really are no bad Temecula or Murrieta neighborhoods. Allowing for some flexibility in location and even features can prove advantageous – without settling of course.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS The most important thing a move-up buyer can do is be prepared…on every level. As we discussed above, having your financing in place is critical.

Make sure that the home you’re selling is in the best possible condition, staged to appeal to the widest audience and priced for a quick sale.

The final consideration every move-up buyer needs to focus on is a back-up plan. Always keep in mind the infamous Murphy’s Rule, “If anything can go wrong, it will”. Sometimes ‘Plan B’ turns out to be the best plan, especially if it works out!

other temporary housing giving them more time to find and buy their new home.

THERE IS MORE CONTROL ON THE SELLING SIDE As a seller, you have two tools that can be used to make the process run smoother. First, when you list your home, have your agent report to the MLS that the sale of your home is contingent on you being able to find your new dream home. This will allow escrow to coordinate a dual simultaneous closing.

The other option, when an offer comes in on the sale of your home, is that a good realtor can negotiate a seller rent-back agreement. This allows the buyer to close escrow on your home and take title while

allowing you to remain in the home until you can move into your new home.

It is fairly common to allow the seller to remain in possession of the property for up to three days after the close of escrow without any financial consideration. More than three days, a rent-back should be negotiated. While the amount of the rent is always negotiable it’s typical to consider the buyers payment and add in a pro-rated share of property taxes, home-owners insurance and HOA dues, if any.

A rent-back payment is intended to keep the buyer whole and not create a profit center. The buyer’s lender may allow up to 60 days of rent-back; anything more and the buyer’s lender may consider the loan to be for investment prop-

REASONABLE PRICES

Fences serve many purposes on a property and can even add visual appeal and value to a home. A fence can effectively delineate property borders, serve as a safety barrier and keep pets and children from wandering into the street.

According to Zillow, an online real estate database, erecting a fence on a property in an area where fences are common usually increases the value of the home, putting it in line with similar properties nearby. However, this may only be the case if the fence is installed professionally and matches other fences throughout the neighborhood.

Homeowners planning to install a fence should first secure a copy of their property surveys. A survey of the property is often conducted upon purchasing a home and/or when the land and home is being assessed. If you do not have a survey, you can hire a professional to conduct one.

The survey will be handy because it clearly marks property lines. Depending on the local regulations, fences may need to be installed a certain number of inches or feet within the property line. Your municipality and building code office will be able to guide you further as to what is legal.

Reputable fencing companies that work in the community should also have a good understanding of fencing regulations.

A permit is typically needed to install a fence. Either your contractor or you will need to apply for the permit before construction can begin. It is best to follow the law so that the fence can be installed in a manner that is consistent with local regulations and will not be subject to potentially costly removal.

As a courtesy, speak with your neighbors about your fencing plans.

The fence will separate your properties from one another, and your neighbors may have certain feel-

ings about what they want to look at. Even if a neighbor is not sharing the cost, it is a good idea to discuss fencing with your neighbors in an effort to reduce the likelihood of conflict down the road. Fences have been points of contention between neighbors, and you don’t want a previously amicable relationship to turn sour.

In some instances, neighbors will be excited about the prospect of a fence and may want to share the cost. Fencing contractors may offer discounts for multi-home installations, so it pays to inquire with the neighbors for that reason alone.

Homes with pools may need fences as a safety precaution. Be sure they fit the protocol. They may need self-latching/locking gates to prevent entry to the yard.

A fence can be a good investment, but homeowners must take the appropriate legal measures and consider their neighbors before erecting any fences.

comes from table lamps and wall sconces. Great lighting makes the home look warm and inviting.

STAGING from page B-1 Use Groupings in Common Living Areas.

Buyers envision using living rooms and family rooms for family activities and entertaining.

Make the space user-friendly and look larger. Position sofas and chairs into conversational groups; be sure that the placement makes the traffic flow obvious. Floating furniture away from walls into these cozy groupings can add to the feeling of spaciousness.

Minimize family portraits; remove knick-knacks.

Clean and Brighten Kitchen.

This is a key area. De-clutter and maximize usable counter space, but don’t make it spartan.

Clean all appliances and counter surfaces so they shine. Turn on lights; open curtains. If upgrades are needed, think counters, cabinets, and under-cabinet lighting. Staining, painting or changing knobs and handles are low-cost improvements.

Updating kitchen faucets and lighting can also add appeal.

Make Spaces Look Bigger.

Using the same color paint can help make adjacent rooms, like kitchen and dining rooms, appear seamless and larger. Matching drapery color and wall color can also give the illusion of space; the differing tones in the same color can also create a sophisticated look.

Bathrooms should be sparkling clean and look and smell like a model home. Hang plush towels and color coordinate with the space. Fresh flowers add to the appearance and also smell fresh.

Hang Art to Create Interest.

Hang art creatively by varying the patterning, height, and grouping. Try to tie in colors from furniture, upholstery, walls and flooring. Use artwork to create or accentuate the mood desired in the specific room.

Clean and Update Bathrooms.

These areas need to be sparkling clean and look and smell like a model home. Update fixtures and hang plush towels that colorcoordinate the space. Fresh flowers add to the appearance and also smell fresh.

Accessorize in Odd Numbers.

It is not just about de-cluttering, but tastefully accessorizing to create an ambience. The right accessories displayed attractively make a difference. Three is a favorite number of interior designers. Find a unifying element and group the items by scale, color, shape, texture with the largest item at the back and the smallest at the front (from the initial entry point to the room).

Placing items in a triangular shape also creates balance.

Make Bedrooms Look Comfortable.

Buyers want to see a neutral, spacious and comfortable space to relax in. Remove excess furniture and personal photos. Use luxurious bedding – comforter, accent pillows.

Reduce clothing, shoes, etc in closets to make them appear more spacious.

Transform Spaces.

Repurpose unused spaces into reading spots, study/work areas with a small desk and table lamps; drapes, mirrors, carpet remnants and pillows can create meditation and exercise spaces; a bookcase can make a nook into a small library or display area.

Home Lighting.

Most homes are improperly lit. Increase the wattage of

Use Neutral Colors in Large Spaces.

Large walls in bold colors will only appeal to a small subset of buyers. Use warm beiges and tans as well as soft blues and greens to cover large off-white spaces.

Deep dark tones can be used on single-plane accent walls to create a more intimate or dramatic space. Contrasting built-ins, niches or wainscoting will also add interest to a room.

Use neutral colors in large spaces and walls. Bold colors only appeal to a small subset of buyers.

bulbs and use all three types of lighting – ambient, task, and accent. Ambient lighting

is the main lighting source, generally overhead, windows and skylights. Task lighting can

be pendants over dining areas, under-cabinet for counters, and reading lamps. Accent lighting

You can do much of this yourself; however, many real estate agents work with interior designers or professional stagers to accomplish this efficiently and effectively. Using professionals to help set the stage to romance the buyer is often worth the expense, especially when it results in shorter selling times and higher selling prices.

How thermostats save money and energy Homeowners who have not yet upgraded to a programmable thermostat could be doing themselves a significant disservice. Not only are programmable thermostats key to saving energy, they also save money.

The Alliance for Environmental Sustainability note that for every degree they adjust their thermostats, homeowners save between 1 and 3 percent on their heating and cooling bills. Setting the thermostat slightly warmer in the summer and a notch or two cooler in the winter can save a considerable amount of energy and money. The United States Department of Energy says homeowners who make slight seasonal adjustments to their thermostats can save as much as 10 percent a year on heating and cooling costs.

But such adjustments are only truly effective when homeowners commit to them on a daily basis.

The best way to stay on top of temperature settings is to purchase

a programmable thermostat, which allow homeowners to predetermine when heat or air conditioning will turn on and off. Many programmable thermostats can store multiple daily settings, allowing homeowners to further customize their heating and cooling schedules based on the time of day as well as the day of the week.

According to Energy.gov, a common misconception associated with thermostats is that a furnace or an air conditioning system works harder than normal to get the space back to a comfortable temperature after the thermostat has been set back, and that this hard work means the overall savings are negligible.

However, when a home’s interior temperature is similar to the temperature outside, the home will lose energy to the surrounding environment more slowly. The lower the interior temperature, the slower the heat loss in cold weather, and a higher interior temperature will slow the flow of heat into your house in hot weather.

Programmable thermostats are available in a variety of models.

Some are easier to program than others. Certain thermostats can be linked to a home’s wireless system so that adjustments to the thermostat can even be made when you are not at home. Consult with an HVAC expert to see if a particular thermostat works best with your system.

Some homes may benefit from a dual- or multi-zoned system, which allows homeowners to adjust the temperature independently from other floors or wings of a home.

The location of the thermostat also is important. The thermostat should be placed where it can get the most accurate reading of the house. It should be on an interior wall away from direct sunlight, doorways, drafts, and windows.

It should not be directly facing an air vent. Avoid placing furniture above or below the thermostat, as such furnishings can impede proper air flow.

If you feel like your HVAC system is cycling on and off even after programming, you may need to call a technician, who can determine if there are any obstructions to the thermostat or if the unit is the appropriate size for your home.

Easy eco-friendly home projects

Low-flow water fixtures such as toilets, shower heads and faucets, save both water and money.

Home improvement projects have taken an environmentallyfriendly turn in recent years, as homeowners look to reduce their carbon footprints en route to improving their homes’ interior and exterior spaces. Such projects can range from large scale undertakings best left to professional contractors to smaller alterations that do-ityourselfers can handle in a typical weekend.

Larger projects might make the biggest impact, but even small efforts to make a home more ecofriendly can benefit the planet significantly over time. The following are a handful of simple DIY home improvement projects that can benefit the planet.

Install low-flow water fixtures According to the National Resources Defense Council, installing low-flow water fixtures in a home

saves both water and money. Lowflow water fixtures include toilets, shower heads and faucets, and the NRDC notes that such additions typically repay a homeowner’s initial investment in less than a year thanks to lower utility bills. A low-flow toilet is one that uses 1.6 gallons of water per flush or less, while low-flow faucets and showers are those that use 2.5 gallons of water per minute or less.

Install weather stripping Weather stripping is a great way to reduce energy consumption while getting the most bang for your energy buck. Weather stripping is installed around windows and doors to seal any cracks or holes that develop over time. Such holes and cracks are more common in older homes, which is one reason that heating and cooling costs in such homes tend to be so much

Opt for low-VOC paints.

more expensive than those in newer homes. To determine if you need weather stripping, simply feel for drafts near doors and windows. If there is no wind or cold air outside, then place a fan or ask someone to hold a hair dryer near suspect doors and windows while you stand on the other side, feeling areas where you think there may be drafts.

Paint with a purpose Fall is a great time of year to paint around the house, as the

weather outside is pleasant enough to open windows in the home so it can air out during and after the painting. When choosing paints for your home, opt for low-VOC, or volatile organic compound, paints.

VOCs are a principal ingredient of ground-level ozone, which contributes to urban smog. VOCs also pose a considerable health risk, as studies have linked them to cancer, eye and throat irritation, headaches, and damage to the liver and nervous system.

Replace old light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights Thought replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents lights, or CFLs, is an easy task, that does not mean it’s ineffective. According to the NRDC, CFLs use just one-quarter the energy of incandescent alternatives. In addition, CFLs last longer, saving homeowners the inconvenience of replacing bulbs.

JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor TEMECULA – Two of the Machine Pitch Pinto All Star teams from the Temecula Youth baseball league (TYB) won their Sectional Tournaments last weekend, advancing them to Regional tournament play this week.

The Red and Blue Machine Pitch teams from TYB have been playing for almost three weeks straight with hopes of making it to the World Series, which is being held in San Marcos again this year.

“TYB sends a good amount of teams through to the World Series

every year in this division and we know this year we have another great shot at being a contender due to the high level of play the coaches have been teaching,” TYB All Star Coordinator Kevin Rochford said.

Machine Pitch Pinto is a division of PONY baseball for 7 and 8 year olds where the batter gets their pitches from a pitching machine which is manned by a coach of the team. The players offensively must score or advance to the next base before the defense gets the ball and either makes a play or call’s time out in the field of play.

The colors of the All Star teams usually indicate the level in the

division, Red being the higher tier team, Blue being next, then White if there are enough players to fill the team,” explained TYB Vice President Sean Van Wyk, who added, “This year there is no telling which team is the better tier team in our division; I guess we will find that out real soon here though.”

Both teams could play each other this week in a semi final matchup that will send one team home and advance the other to the World Series Championships. Follow all the action at www.temeculapony. com or www.pony.org. Good Luck, Teams!

Wolfpack wins area’s largest 7 v 7 tourney Kuljian, Bogroff, Downs win new events

Amanda Schwarzer photos

Great Oak Wolfpack went 9-0, winning the 10th Annual Southwest County 7 v 7 Passing Tournament with a 35-27 win over Citrus hills.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer The Great Oak Wolfpack varsity football team won the tenth annual Southwest County 7-on-7 Passing Tournament held last Saturday, July 12, 2014 at Menifee’s Paloma Valley High School. Wolfpack junior kicker Tanner Kuljian won the kicking competition. Paloma Valley’s Nick Bogroff was the Top Punter; Justin Downs, also from Paloma Valley, was the Top Long Snapper.

“This year was another great event,” said Paloma Valley Head Coach Bert Esposito, founder and organizer of the event. “We added the Kicking Competition to the already successful Passing and Line competitions. Everything went

smoothly and was logistically different than previous years because we couldn’t use our stadium due to new turf being put in.”

The event may not be an indicator of how teams will do during the season since there are no pads, no blocking/rushing, and no tackling, but it is an opportunity for teams to work on offensive and defensive passing schemes and get repetitions against a variety of teams, and more importantly, to compete and bond together.

This year’s annual event featured 24 teams, making it the largest passing tournament in the area.

Past winners include La Sierra (CIF semifinalist in 2005); Canyon Springs (CIF semifinalist in 2006); JW North (CIF Champions in 2007); Corona Santiago (CIF

Playoffs in 2008); Moreno Valley High in 2009; Murrieta Valley (CIF playoffs in 2010); Santa Margarita (Division One CIF and State Champions in 2011), Paloma Valley (CIF Semifinalist in 2012); and Palm Springs (CIF Playoffs in 2013). “Ten years in a row, the Finals came down to the wire and the Tournament still doesn’t have a repeat Champion,” Espisito said.

Paloma Valley lost their bid for a repeat in overtime last year.

In pool play, the Wolfpack beat Norco, Cajon, Valley View, Perris, and Paloma Valley. In the single-elimination knockout round, Great Oak beat San Bernardino, Norco, and defending champion Palm Springs (who beat tournament newcomer and perennial CIF powerhouse Vista Murrieta twice

that day).

In the Championship Game, Great Oak faced Citrus Hills and San Diego State-commit receiver Jacoby Herring who caught 58 passes for 1216 yards last year. It was Great Oak’s closest game of the tourney, but the Wolfpack remained poised and prevailed 35-27, to bring home their first win after years of competing in this tourney.

Great Oak went 9-0 in the tourney, averaging 31 points on offense and giving up an average of only 14 points on defense, the fewest of any team. The defense also had ten interceptions, five by safety Brandon Presley.

The defense was led by Jonathan Hernandez, Demetric Felton, Nick Fisher, Elijah Thomas, Olisuye Shinoyi, Damion Marshall, Kevin Knoght, Josiah Gonzales, Jake Schwarzer, Presley, and Alex Gonzalez.

The offense was led by LaQuan Williams and Dylan Bell, “Both played really well at QB,” Wolfpack Head Coach Robbie Robinson said. Williams only threw two interceptions in the nine games. Logan

Morrison, Roman Brockbank, Nick Fisher, Nathan Sy, Demetric Felton, and the area’s leading receiver, Presley, “all had great days for us catching the football.” Presley led the team in TD catches.

In the Consolation Final Paloma Valley lost to 5-Star from Los Angeles Cathedral, a club team. Buchanan High School from Fresno won the Linemen Competition with a one-point win over Paloma Valley in the final event – tug-ofwar versus Paloma Valley. Buchanan travelled the furthest this year. Paloma Valley JV’s got an opportunity to gain some varsitylevel experience when Northern California powerhouse Grant of Sacramento didn’t show.

“Our Senior leadership has really stepped up for us in the last two weeks,” said Robinson of his Wolfpack team. “We had two weeks of great practices leading into this Tourney and it paid off.

I’m really proud of our kids. They handled both success and adversity well today as a group.”

Newest Arsenal GU11 team goes the distance in first tournament JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor Last weekend was a great weekend for the newest Arsenal GU11 team as they were finalists in the Arsenal Summer Classic.

The eleven girls that donned their uniforms for the first time gave it their all playing 200 minutes of soccer over four matches without any subs during this soccer tournament in Temecula Valley.

“Not only was this their first time they playing as a team, but also their first time playing 11 v 11 soccer,” said Coach Kevin Legg who added, “ They definitely had a lot of turf to cover on those monstrous fields.”

The first match on Saturday was a 10 a.m. game against the DMCV Sharks at Birdsall Sports Park in Temecula. Arsenal scored first with a tap in goal by Talia Stacy off of a free kick from Kendra Cervantes.

DMCV Sharks answered with two goals over the next two halves.

Arsenal delivered again when Talia was fouled in the box and drilled her penalty kick tying it up 2-2. This match ended in a hard fought tie.

The second game of the day kicked off at 4:45 at Birdsall Sports Park versus a fellow Arsenal team from Ontario. The game was off to a slow start, but Talia Stacy was able to find the net, giving Arsenal FC South a 1-0 lead going into the second half. Things really opened for the girls as they found the net

The girls from Arsenal FC South gave it their all as they played their first rounds of 11 v 11 soccer this weekend.

seven more times during the second half with a goal from Kaylee Nicotero and two hat tricks from Adrianna Cortez and Kalia Thunstrom giving them an 8-0 victory.

Match number 3 was a must tie for the girls if they were to advance to the finals. It was an early kickoff Sunday morning at 8 a.m. at Dorothy McElhinney Middle School in Murrieta against West Coast FC.

The signs of fatigue were setting in from the previous day’s battles, as Arsenal FC South went down 1-0 within the first 15 minutes.

Just when all hope was lost and it appeared the girls run was over, Arsenal FC South answered on a set piece. Talia Stacy delivered a beautiful corner kick in the 20th minute of the second half and Kalia Thunstrom was in the right position

for the tap in. They went on to hold West Coast FC to a tie and were advancing to the finals!

The finals got underway at 1:25 p.m. at Birdsall Sports Park where they were to face the DMCV Sharks again. The Sharks were just too much for the Arsenal girls to handle and when all was said and done the match ended with a 3-0 victory for the Sharks.

“All in all it was a great weekend of soccer for the girls, they left everything they had on the field and walked away with a finalist medal and we could not be more proud,” Assistant Coach Heidi Solis said.

HS Football: Temescal Canyon has new coach, new look offense for 2014 Coach Phil Cohen brings fresh approach to the Titan Football Program Charles McKee Sports Writer The Titans are optimistic and looking forward to the 2014 Football season. They have a new Head Coach, a new look offense and renewed enthusiasm as the Titans head into summer camp.

“We have 3 goals for the season” said Phil Cohen, the new head coach for the team. “Be in position to win the game in the 4th quarter.

Return the City trophy to Temescal Canyon. Make the playoffs.”

Cohen knows what the Titans can achieve. He has been a coach at the school since 1991 when the

program started. He was assistant coach under Houston Haynes, Bob Burt, Mike Sands and Russ Strange and is now taking control of the Titan Football Program.

The Titans will be introducing a new Offensive look this season. “We will be running the Power Pistol” Cohen said. “It will be a combination of Auburn and Oregon. Anyone who knows me knows I like to throw the ball around a little bit.” Gone is the Triple-option and moving the chains exclusively on the ground.

“We will have a number of newcomers this season” added Cohen.

“How they progress and produce will have a dramatic impact on the

ability to accomplish our season goals.” One of the newcomers is senior Garret Bumann who will play center and anchor the offensive line.

Key offensive returning players are junior Quarterback Justin Gomez, who played in three varsity games last season He has a strong accurate arm and can run the ball when needed. The Titans also have 240 pound senior tailback Michael Erim who runs a 4.5 forty in their backfield. Senior Derek Hill and junior Artie Barrera are dangerous targets at wide receiver and both are playmakers.

On defense the Titans are led by senior Josh Bess who controls the

secondary as free safety. The defensive line is fueled by tow senior defensive ends. Stephon McDonald and Steven Busse are the key to the Titan pass rush and perimeter defense.

The Titans will have their hands full in the very tough and competitive Sunbelt League. Heritage, Paloma Valley and Elsinore will be tough again this season. To achieve two of Coach Cohen’s goals, the Titans will have to defeat Elsinore this season.

The City Trophy is awarded to the winner of the Elsinore-Temescal game every year. Elsinore has won the trophy the last six

meetings.

“Elsinore is obviously the first game circled on the schedule” said Cohen. “However, the first two games in league against Perris and Lakeside are critical for us to have an opportunity to return to the playoff picture.”

Temescal Canyon’s non-league opponents are Murrieta Valley, Temecula Valley, Palm Springs, La Quinta and JW North this season.

The Titans are working hard this hot summer as Coach Cohen prepares his team for the 2014 season and the goals that he has established and expects to realize this season.

Local Athletes Selected Among Nation’s Best Athletes will attend ‘Top Gun’ camp in Ohio Paul Bandong Staff Writer Matt Foley of Temecula Valley High School (Class of 2015) and Julian Ballesteros of Chaparral High School (Class of 2018) were invited and will be competing at the nation’s top prep football allstar camp, Football University’s

(FBU) “Top Gun,” at Dublin Jerome High School in Dublin, Ohio from Monday, July 21 to Wednesday, July 23.

“Top Gun” is the culmination of FBU’s 30-camp nationwide tour, gathering the most elite performers from across the United States and allowing them to compete and display their abilities together on

one stage.

The two were invited because of their outstanding performance at an FBU camp this year; they will join over 800 of the nation’s top athletes at their respective positions and will train with current and former NFL players and coaches.

Some will be invited to partici-

pate in the iconic U.S. Army AllAmerican Bowl played annually at the Alamodome in Houston, Texas. The game is broadcast live on NBC. More than 200 Army All-Americans currently play in the NFL; more than 1000 have played for NCAA universities and colleges.

Headlining the Top Gun Showcase are Jeff Rutledge, former quarterback coach of the Arizona Cardinals; wide receiver coach Billy “White Shoes” Johnson; legendary offensive line coach Jim McNally; defensive back coach Ray Buchanan; and wide receiver coach Charlie Collins, one of the finest receiver coaches at any level.

The camp boasts an elite staff of some of football’s greatest minds who have privately trained and mentored players such as Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Eli Manning, and Tony Romo.

Foley is the #3-ranked long snapper in California and #17 in the nation. He trains with Rubio Long Snapping. Ballesteros was selected as a wide receiver.

According to Rivals.com, “No event is bigger than Football University’s Top Gun. It is easily the most-anticipated camp for us because of the talent level.”

Congratulations and good luck to our local standouts!

• Outpatients create local “recovery connections” to displace their “drug connections.”

These relationships offer hope and a vision of what life can be lived “clean and sober.”

Health

How to prevent muscle soreness Daily exercise is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. When paired with a nutritious diet, daily exercise can help men and women maintain their personal health and put them in a better position to battle many of the physical quirks that come with aging.

But even the most ardent exercise enthusiast is periodically confronted with muscle soreness, which can interrupt an exercise routine and have a very negative impact on an individual’s quality of life. Muscle soreness often appears the morning after a workout and can make something as simple as getting out of bed feel as difficult as climbing Mount Everest. The frequency and severity of muscle soreness depends on a host of factors, including how old someone is, how often a person exercises and how well that person performs certain exercises. While muscle soreness may seem like another unfortunate side effect of the aging process, there are ways to prevent such soreness.

Stay hydrated. Many people forget to drink water when working out, and such forgetfulness can lead to muscle soreness. Roughly 50 to 60 percent of a person’s total body mass is water, but the body loses a lot of water during exercise, especially when that exercise is vigorous and causes lots of sweating. Losing a substantial amount of water can be debilitating and lead to muscle soreness, as muscle cells need water to recover fully from a workout. So it’s important that men and women stay hydrated both during a workout and throughout the rest of the day. Carry a bottle of water with you when working out. You will be more inclined to drink water and stay hydrated during a workout if you have water with you as opposed to relying on repeated trips to the water fountain. One way to determine if you’re drinking enough water dur-

fatigue.Work muscle groups that are not experiencing soreness or avoid weight training in favor of cardiovascular exercise and stretching.

For many men and women, muscle soreness is an unfortunate side effect of any active lifestyle. But such active men and women can take various preventive measures to reduce their likelihood of developing sore muscles after workouts.

In Fallbrook Since 1997

Colleen Van Horn Strength training can result in muscle soreness if men and women do not take certain preventive measures before, during and after their workouts.

ing a workout is to make note of the color of your urine in the hours following the workout. If your urine is light yellow or clear, then you’re probably drinking enough water to stay hydrated during and after the workout. If your urine is dark yellow or has an orange tint, then you need to make a stronger effort to stay hydrated during and after your workout.

Get some sleep. Sleep is another way to prevent or reduce the likelihood of developing muscle soreness.

The body needs time to recover from exercise, and sleep is an integral part of that recovery process. Adults typically need between seven and eight hours of sleep per night, so be sure to get enough rest so your muscles can recover before your next workout.

Muscle soreness may be your body telling you it was not given enough

time to fully recover from a previous workout.

nutrients to the parts of your body that may feel sore after a workout.

Cool down after a workout.

If weight training is part of your workout routine, then it helps to cool down with some easy cardiovascular activity and light stretching after the weight training portion of your regimen is over. This can improve blood flow throughout your body, and improved blood flow can speed your recovery time and reduce post-workout muscle soreness by bringing fresh oxygen and healing

Don’t fight fire with exercise.

Some people are tempted to fight muscle soreness by putting their muscles back to work. But such an approach can lead to injury. When muscles are sore, they also experience a loss of strength, which makes them more susceptible to damage and injury. Rather than fighting muscle soreness by challenging the muscles, give them a rest as they recover from soreness and

The Mortgage House keeps lending local

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Home ownership has always been an “American Dream.” Owning a home is a sign of success;

you become part of a community, placing down roots and offering stability to your family and future.

A home however is more than a financial asset. It is a place where memories will be made of raising your children, or retiring.

Turing the “dream” into reality involves planning and knowledge in navigating through today’s home buying process. In order to make sure your goals of owning a home are achieved, The Mortgage House in Temecula will work with you on

finding the right loan.

Karen Davis has run the Temecula branch of The Mortgage House since 1997 with her husband Scott.

Karen has been in the mortgage industry since 1977 working her way up from a receptionist to Vice President Regional Manager. Davis has been able to help people find the right home loan in all types of economic markets.

“The best part of what we do is we offer a personal touch. Whether it is face to face, by email, over the phone it does not matter,” Davis said. “We will work around the client’s hours and how they prefer to communicate.”

The benefit of working with a company like The Mortgage House is all the paperwork is done in-house, not sent out to another city or state for underwriting or reviews.

“We are a direct lender, giving us an aggressive advantage over our competitors,” Davis said.

The Mortgage House can work directly with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac including FHA loans.

“We also offer tremendous financing on jumbo loans,” Davis said.

Staying small and local has been

a strong asset for The Mortgage House, allowing them to maintain integrity and speed in closing loans. They are able to close loans in 30 days or less and have immediate answers on questions that arise.

“We maintain hands on control of each and every file every step of the way,” Davis said.

When it comes to closing, Davis and her team maintain a hands-on approach with the client.

Shortly before closing time, homeowners may have last minute questions on the paperwork they are signing which can become cumbersome.

“I like to be there with my clients at closing to reduce some of the last minute stress and answer questions they have on the final numbers,” Davis said. “A new homeowner should have all their questions answered before they sign the final paperwork and have peace of mind.”

If you are considering buying a home let The Mortgage House help you navigate through the loan process from determining your goals, being pre-approved, to handing you the keys.

How to avoid distractions when working from home Telecommuting has made great strides over the last decade. U.S. Census Bureau statistics have identified key telecommuting trends, noting that 45 percent of the American workforce holds a job that is compatible with at least part-time work from home. Based on current trends, with no growth acceleration, regular telecommuters will total 4.9 million by 2016, a 69 percent increase from the current level.

As more people work from home, more people need to find ways to be productive outside of the office environment. That productivity may hinge on avoiding distractions.

Many people telecommute in an attempt to make their lives easier and more affordable. Working from home carries with it a number of benefits, but also quite a few challenges. Some people who work from home find it more difficult

to separate work life from home life, and distractions in the latter can sabotage the former. Recognizing your biggest distractions and remedying them can lead to more productivity and better job performance.

Children One of the more popular reasons employees work from home is to be more available for child care. Telecommuting gives working parents a schedule that is flexible enough to meet work deadlines while also being able to pick the kids up from school or to attend school-related functions and extracurricular activities. Telecommuting also allows new mothers to nurse longer or stay home with infants for a longer period of time.

However, the same reasons people work from home also can

prove to be the biggest distractions.

Imagine being several paragraphs into a report when the baby wakes up from a nap and demands to be fed. Conference calls can be disrupted by a child who needs homework help or a toddler who needs the channel changed on the television. Some trial and error may be required to develop a system in which you can work effectively and be able to pull away to handle child-related issues.

Social media Social media connects people to the world around them. Smart-

phones and tablets enable people to check their email, update their status and tweet messages at a moment’s notice. Working from home affords unrestricted access to social media sites and other forms of communication that may not be so readily accessible in a traditional working environment.

It can be tempting for you to constantly click over to Instagram or LinkedIn during the day. However, telecommuters should set specific times of the day when they use social media and restrict usage to only these times. This way they can more fully immerse themselves in work. This may involve shutting off instant messaging services or logging off personal email until the workday is through.

Friendly interruptions Friends and family members may not understand that telecommuting is the same as working.

Phone calls or texts answered at all hours of the day can be distracting.

understand that they must respect your work hours, whether those hours are being spent at home or in an office.

Dedicated workspace It can be difficult to take telecommuting seriously if your work area is a folding table and a laptop stuck in the corner of the living room.

Others in the household may infringe on your workspace, and daily life can produce many distractions.

It is best to have an area specifically dedicated to work, and this area should be closed off to others who won’t need you during the day (children should be able to reach you in case of emergency). Your work desk shouldn’t be a place that the children do their homework.

Try to set up your desk in an area that doesn’t get much foot traffic or inspire you to daydream. If you are close to a television or facing an open window, you may spend too many hours gazing aimlessly instead of focused on the tasks at hand. Very often you can be your own worst enemy when it comes to distractions. Buckling down and paying attention requires effort.

Know your limits Taking breaks from time to time can quell boredom and refresh your level of concentration. Periodically step away from your desk to grab a snack or drink, just like you would at the office. Go outdoors for a few minutes and breathe some fresh air. These tactics can keep your head clear.

Resolve problems before logging on Attempt to handle any concerns or tasks related to your personal life before you start your work for the day. Otherwise, you may be focused on tackling one problem when your mind should be on something else. While home and work issues will inevitably cross paths, do not use work hours to pay bills, schedule medical appointments or run house errands.

Reducing distractions is a key to telecommuting successfully.

As more companies recognize the benefits of allowing employees to work from home, workers should step up to the challenge with dedication and focus.
