“The first thing you should do if you have an active shooter in your business is call 911,” said Michael Julian, owner of MPS Security in Murrieta at during an “Active Shooter Survival Skills” workshop for businesses and residents July 14.

Julian, the creator of the ALIVE Program that is becoming known to business and industry throughout the nation. It is a program he has developed that is designed to teach people, whether at work or play, what to do in the first 10 minutes after an active shooter, or “killers” as he calls them, suddenly appears and begins killing people. Unfortunately, this scenario has been steadily increasing since the first mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999 when 12 students and a teacher were killed by two

Fallbrook, Temecula connect on specialized senior services through nonprofit Tim O’Leary VALLEY NEWS STAFF

A new link – perhaps the first of its kind for the two communities – has connected Fallbrook and Temecula.

This connection hinges on a key service that a Fallbrook nonprofit group provides area seniors. Temecula residents can now access this specialized adult day care service, and the Fallbrook group can mine a fast-growing market for new clients and public exposure.

“We have more capacity than we are able to fill in Fallbrook,” said Rachel A. Mason, executive director of the nonprofit Foundation for Foundation for Senior Care van driver Judy Rico (right), helps Dennis Senior Care. “So we thought, why DeWyn out of the passenger seat of the foundation’s care van.

The lot will now serve as a hub for the foundation to pick up and drop off its Temecula-area clients. The agreement also allows the foundation to distribute materials at the center as a way to recruit clients for its fee-based service.

In return, Temecula now has a place to refer people who are seeking day care services for a senior relative or friend who has dementia or other heath care needs.

A city worker hailed the pending arrangement in an April email as “Great news!”

The agreement was formally approved June 14 by Temecula City Council. It is the first such deal in

Fallbrook man 1 of 6 indicted in mortgage fraud scheme Andrea Estrada STAFF WRITER

Attorney General Kamala D. Harris recently announced six Southern California individuals were indicted on 135 felony counts for allegedly operating a mortgage fraud scheme throughout Southern California and the Inland Empire. The suspects have been preying on homeowners facing foreclosure, the Attorney General’s office reported.

A Fallbrook man identified by the attorney general’s office as Marcus Robinson, was indicted in the alleged fraud scheme.

The case is being prosecuted by attorneys in the Attorney General’s Mortgage Fraud Strike Force, created by Harris in 2011 to prosecute mortgage fraud at every step of the process.

Jacob Orona, Aide Orona, John Contreras, Prakashumar (“Kash”) Bhakta, Marcus Robinson, and David Boyd were indicted by a grand jury on 135 felony charges, including conspiracy, grand theft, filing false or forged documents, and identity theft, the AG’s report says.

All six defendants were arrested last week and one defendant, Robinson, was arraigned Monday, July 11, in San Diego Superior Court.

“I created the Mortgage Fraud Task Force in 2011 to ensure that we tirelessly protect Californians struggling to stay in their homes from those who would prey upon them for profit. This indictment is result of a joint effort to remain vigilant in the investigation and prosecution of those who attempt to defraud homeowners through the mortgage process,” said Harris.

“I thank our Mortgage Fraud Strike Force and California Department of Justice Special Agents, as well as our local, state and federal law enforcement partners, for their efforts on this case.”

The defendents convinced homeowners who were underwater on their mortgages that they could provide legal remedies to avoid foreclosure They told them to stop making mortgage payments and instead pay them $3,500 to start with an “administrative process,” plus $1,000 every month and separate amounts to allegedly file legal documents, the

AGs office noted. The defendants filed bogus petitions and court pleadings and recorded false deeds in county recorders’ offices, causing over $4 million in loses while failing to halt any foreclosures. The fraud stretched through San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties.

The indictment was delivered following a two-week special statewide grand jury convened in San Diego County. If convicted, Jacob and Aide Orona face over 90 years in prison; Contreras and Prakashkumar could face over 70 years in prison; Robinson faces over 28 years in prison, and Boyd could end up with 18 years in prison.

The arrests and arraignments are the culmination of a joint investigation by the Federal Housing Finance Agency Office of the Inspector General (FHFAOIG), the Attorney General’s Financial Fraud and Special Prosecutions Section (FFSPS), the California Department of Justice Bureau of Investigation, and the Stanislaus County District Attorney’s Office, Real Estate Fraud Unit.

Registrar’s office certifies results of June 7 election RIVERSIDE – The Riverside County Registrar of Voters office certified the results of the June 7 presidential primary election July 12 and forwarded the certified results to the Board of Supervisors. The final, official election results and statement of votes are available on the Registrar of Voters’ website at www.voteinfo.net.

WORKSHOP from page A-1 other students.

Julian, a recognized expert in security, executive protection and risk mitigation/management, invited businessmen and residents to MPS Security headquarters at 25020 Las Brisas Road in Murrieta to a two-hour workshop teaching them how to survive in an active shooter situation. “Of course some will die, but more can live if they know what to do,” he suggested.

Julian has been visiting more and more workplaces to explain his ALIVE or Active Shooter Survival Plan, as the incidents of mass shootings and killings in the United States continue to rise.

Those attending Julian’s first in-house workshop included representatives of a local warehouse, human resource and a safety officer from the Pala Indian tribe, an entertainment enterprise officer, a newspaper representative and a skip tracer. He said he believed the workshop was necessary for anyone interested even though businessmen and residents live in Murrieta and Temecula, considered two of the safest communities in the nation. He said mass shootings and killings can happen anywhere and at any time, and everyone, especially employers, teachers, managers, caregivers and students, should be aware of what to do in that event.

“When an active shooter/killer, such as a known or random gunman, opens fire on average, nearly a dozen injuries and at least three deaths occur.” Julian points out. “Being prepared is the best tool for survival for you and your employees.”

Julian showed several surveillance video tapes of mass shootings and recordings from the perpetrators, heretofore unseen by most people, to point out the mistakes and the correct actions made by the victims. One of those was the videos made of the Columbine High School mass shootings by students Dylen Klebold and Eric Harris and a selfie confession by

The certified election results include minor revisions in 15 contests that resulted from a discrepancy identified over the weekend during the certification count. The revisions did not affect the vote total for any candidate or measure by more than six votes, and did not change the outcome in any race.

James Holmes who opened fire on the patrons in an Aurora, Colorado, movie theater July 20, 2012.

Julian says, “Employers can no longer subscribe to the notion that ‘it will never happen here, given the frequency and severity of workplace attacks.’” He said for the average person, whether at work, at home or at play be always aware of your surroundings and if you feel something isn’t right “see something, say something!”

Julian’s ALIVE plan explains the five basic principles that could save yours and others lives in an active shooter or knife wielder suddenly appears. He said first and foremost one should call 911 then begin to Assess the situation. “Stop and think about what may be happening. How best should you react.”

Then if possible Leave. “escape to a safe area, if possible. Let everyone around you know they have to leave!”

(Non random acts of violence)

• Aggressive or threatening behavior or remarks • Bizarre or irrational behavior • Inappropriate behavior or emotional outbursts • Sudden or extreme behavior changes • Unresolved relationship or family issues • Serious financial problems • Depression or untreated mental illnesses & personality disorders • Alcohol or drug abuse • Comments or threats related to suicide

Next try to Impede or make yourself. Impede the killer’s opportunity and ability to get to you.

Become Invisible or HIDE!” If all else fails, use Violence. “Viciously and violently attack if you have now other option. SWARM.” He said working together or swarming a killer is the best thing to do. He added that do not just try to harm the shooter, try to kill him or he or she will kill you!

Even when you think it is over Evaluate or Expose the situation.

Julian said there could be more than one killer in the situation.

He explained a number of other methods to better save yourself and others in such a situation, but he said you need to think about saving yourself first and leave everything behind, purses, tools, computers etc. Your life is the most important.

Julian, CPI, PPS CSP as a nationally recognized security expert, is an instructor for numerous association conferences and security educational events on executive protection, workplace violence identification and reaction, and active shooter survival. He noted at the conference OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), in the wake of the recent mass killings, is considering including new employer work rules to have active shooter training for all employees, not unlike the sexual harassment rules now in place.

One of a kind Bonnie Martland SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The coming of the railroad in the 1880s brought Temecula prosperity and its share of interesting characters. One was a transplanted Angelino named Joe Winkels. Joe came to Temecula in the late 1890s to work at the local livery stable, which stood on the corner of Front and Main Streets where the Bank of Mexican Food stands today.

Ostensibly, Winkels got the job at the livery stable because he knew about horses. His job performance, however, indicated he was apparently more familiar with wagering on horses than taking care of them.

The livery stable, with its large pot belly stove, was a gathering spot for locals, and often more than hot coffee was imbibed. Wood to keep the stove heated was often pilfered from the wood pile behind the red brick mercantile store just down the block from the livery. Needless to say the store’s proprietor took a dim few of his dwindling source of income and soon discovered where his wood was going. Cleverly, he devised a plan to put an end to the livery stable guys’ shenanigans. He hollowed out a log, filled it with black gun powder and placed it

back in the wood pile and waited to see who might come and take it.

The wood thief was indeed one of the livery stable regulars. Rumor has it that it was none other than Joe Winkels. In due course the wood was chucked into the pot belly stove and not long thereafter a loud explosion rocked the corner as the livery stable tack room was damaged. Luckily, no one was killed.

The livery stable was never rebuilt.

In its stead, Temecula’s first bank, and first cement building, was built on the site.

The Welty Building sat across the street from the livery, and now the bank. The Welty’s had a store downstairs and rooms to rent upstairs. Joe Winkels had at times rented rooms. In 1902 he bought the building and named it the Ramona Inn. He transformed the upstairs into a boxing ring. He had rooms to rent, a pool hall and what locals called the Blind Pig Saloon.

With the demise of the railroad, by the early 1900s Temecula’s boom days were a thing of the past.

Temecula was a sleepy little cattle town of a few hundred souls. In times of strong temperance unions, Temecula was in a so-called dry county. Still things could grow quite lively when the cowboys from

the surrounding ranches came to town on weekends and holidays.

On Christmas Eve, 1907, two drunken cowboys got into a fight outside Winkels’ establishment.

The constable was called and one of the culprits, in his inebriated state, shot the other and also killed the peace officer. After that incident, Joe Winkels paid a $300 fine and thought it best to take an extended vacation. With the coming of prohibition in 1920, Winkels gambled that in a town as small as Temecula, federal agents would take little interest. If cited, he paid his fine and continued business as usual.

His friends from LA, some sports figures and Hollywood notables came to town to drink and have a good time. Jack Sharkey and Jack Dempsey would spar in his upstairs boxing ring with Fatty Arbuckle and other Hollywood notables in attendance.

For all his foibles Joe is credited with getting built the first permanent church building in Temecula by convincing ranchers to host a barbeque to raise money for its construction. According to his nephew, probably the only time Joe ever attended the church was for his own funeral.

Joe Winkels, for all his foibles, is credited with helping shape Temecula into the city it is today.

Kern wins best jewelry piece award at San Diego County Fair Joe Naiman WRITER

Murrieta’s Laurie Kern won the Cinderhill Award for the best single piece of jewelry at the San Diego County Fair’s gems, minerals and jewelry exhibit.

The Cinderhill Award is donated by the Cinderhill jewelry company and includes a $100 cash prize as well as a certificate. Kern won the Cinderhill Award, as well as first place in the Chasing and/or Reposse Jewelry class, for “Squash Blossom and Vine.” The cuff is made of sterling silver sheet and square wire. Its design was formed by chasing (sinking the metal to refine the design on the front of the work) and reposse (hammering the reverse side of the metal to form a raised design on the front), and 24-karat gold powder was applied and fused to the body of the squash blossoms.

The San Bernardino National Forest Use Restrictions are tied to the national fire danger levels; however, all of these other factors also help determine the Forest Use Restrictions.

Any violation of the restrictions is a citation that could result in a fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment of up to six months or both, according to the Forest Service.

tube set cubic zirconia measuring four millimeters were set in small flowers, and a liver of sulfur patina (thin layer) was applied.

Kern also won first place in the Amateur: Art Jewelry category for “The Tenacious Tentacle Cuff.” The sterling silver sheet was shaped into an octopus tentacle with suckers, and Kern also used chasing and reposse for that cuff. The cuff was formed after the design was completed and polished, and a liver of sulfur patina was applied.

Murrieta’s Sheryl Haupt took first place in the Amateur: Constructed Jewelry, All Metal class for “Silver Legacy Cuff Bracelet.” The layers of sterling silver were soldered together, and designs in the top layer were hand cut with stippling in the back layer.

Haupt was given second place in the Amateur: Constructed Jewelry, with Stones category for “Silver

Lace Necklace.” The jewelry is fused sterling silver with a sterling silver frame, coral set in fine silver, a hand fabricated chain of sterling silver, and sterling silver ball accents.

Haupt added third place in the Bead Weaving/Embroidery class for “Crystal Lace Necklace.” That creation has free form bead weaving, suede backing, a sterling silver clasp, natural quartz aqua crystals, druzy heart and agate.

Four of Haupt’s displays did not place. “Paradise Pendant” and “Larimar Earrings” were both entered in the Enamel, Plique-a-Jour or Cloisonne Jewelry category.

The connection will now put a new service within easy reach of Temecula-area seniors. The only such senior day care programs in the region operate in Fallbrook and Hemet, according to the city staff report.

The jump in the city’s senior population has fueled a corresponding increase in demand for more caregiver options, the report said.

Mason said the interactions with Temecula have spiked since Fallbrook’s hospital closed in November 2014 after more than 50 years of serving the community. The hospital’s closure prompted some doctors and specialists to move or consolidate offices in Temecula or Murrieta. That shift has fueled a rise in ride requests to those cities.

The trips to and from the Mary Phillips Senior Center are expected to begin soon, Mason said. Both sides signed a memorandum of understanding before the arrangement could be finalized. No money will change hands as a result of the deal, but the foundation must insure its transit operations and meet other conditions required by the city.

Temecula has entered service and funding agreements with many nonprofit groups since it became a city.

But most of those agreements have been with groups that are based in southwest Riverside County. Formal connections with Fallbrook, an un-

incorporated community in northern San Diego County, have been rare.

Fallbrook’s senior services are fragmented, as a pair of separate nonprofit groups provides a range of offerings. Both rely on county and private grants, membership dues, fundraisers and other means of paying for their operations.

The Foundation provides a range of programs. Its day care center serves seniors with dementia or other medical needs. Rides are offered to medical appointments, shopping and other locations by volunteers who are reimbursed for their mileage. Computer training is offered to seniors in classroom settings.

In an email prior to city approval of the joint agreement, Mason told Temecula staff that the Foundation’s Expanded Rides program provides 15 to 20 trips per month to Temecula or other points north of the county boundary.

At the time of that May 16 email, one Temecula resident had enrolled in the adult day care program, which costs $70 a day. The Fallbrook facility is licensed to care for up to 30 clients a day, but it typically has fewer than 10 participants daily, Mason said in a recent telephone interview Five Temecula residents were enrolled in the Foundation’s computer learning program, Mason said.

The Foundation’s Care Advocates program, which advises or assists seniors in need, had 19 Temeculaarea residents on its roster.

Hemet public safety tax could make ballot Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Hemet City Council has asked its city attorney to prepare a measure to be considered for the November ballot after a group of Measure E supporters spoke at the Tuesday, July 12, meeting at city hall. Measure E, a one cent sales tax per dollar spent in Hemet was to be used for police and fire only but failed to pass voter scrutiny in June.

Despite its popularity among voters, 10,719 of 16,986 or 63 percent who cast votes in the primary voted to approve it, Measure E failed to garner the necessary twothirds vote required to pass during the June primaries.

Howard Rosenthal, a Measure E supporter and co-chairman of the Yes on E committee, addressed Council Tuesday night saying he was proud of the campaign and thanked them for putting the measure to voters.

“We lost by 606 votes thanks to the handiwork of John Petty and Mr. Buskirk of the Valley Chronicle. America has a right to oppose,” he said, adding that one of the members in support of the measure met with Petty to discuss the measure. “Mr. Petty has informed us that any new ballot in November… will face funded opposition.”

Rosenthal then asked council to consider placing a general tax, needing only a simple majority, along with a companion measure on the November ballot.

“The companion measure would allow for an advisory council to state what the general tax is,” he said. “It is our intent in the business community and general community to make sure to have the councils in the future, should it pass, for the dollars to be used for public safety.”

Rosenthal said the business community is in “dire straights,” due to crime, vagrants and lack of public safety.

“We are inundated and over run and I would implore the council to put it back on the ballot,” he said.

Many others spoke out in favor of adding a general tax on the ballot to be used for public safety, speaking on fear for their children and their family’s safety and the safety of the community of as a whole.

“If we want to help ourselves, it is up to us. The only way we can do it, – as much as I prefer a two-thirds (voter approval) – is to put a simple majority vote on (the ballot) and I urge Council to do that,” Robert Davis, a local businessman said.

Throughout the extended public comments portion of the meeting others pointed out that those who would be paying the tax, were in support of it and that the recent rise in crime and everything else making the community “undesirable” needed to be addressed.

Ultimately, Council directed the city attorney to prepare the measure, in the form of a general

Supervisors approve Soboba Hot Springs resurfacing project Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the plans and specifications for a North San Jacinto resurfacing project, and the supervisors’ 3-0 vote June 7 with Marion Ashley and John Tavaglione absent also authorized the advertisement for bids for a contract to perform the work in the Soboba Hot Springs area.

The resurfacing will cover 1,922 feet of San Jose Drive from Chabela Drive to the eastern portion of San Jose Drive, 1,082 feet of Granite View Drive from the western portion of San Jose Drive to the eastern portion of San Jose Drive, 370 feet of Chabela Drive from Soboba Road to San Jose Drive, and 270 feet of Las Palmas Court from San Jose Drive to the southern end of Las Palmas Court. Those roads have moderate damage generally associated with age and thermal effects.

In addition to resurfacing the

roads to provide a smooth roadway, the asphalt concrete dike will be replaced, pavement markings will be replaced and raised pavement markings will be provided, and localized concrete curb and gutter work will also take place.

The work is expected to begin during summer 2016 and be complete during fiscal year 2016-17.

tax, which will be presented for discussion at its July 26 meeting.

Final approval is scheduled for the Aug. 9 meeting.

Measure E was initially introduced to voters following meetings by an ad hoc committee that included Mayor Linda Krupa and Councilman Paul Raver. The committee was tasked with investigating possible revenue enhancement options for the city.

“They solicited enormous amounts of input from voters, the business and medical community, senior citizen groups, homeowners associated and the chamber of commerce. Measure E was drafted with all of this input and presented to the city council on Feb. 23,” said

Hemet Police Chief David Brown in an earlier interview with Valley News.

Measure E included specific tax payer protections including independent financial audits, an independent citizens’ oversight committee to review expenditure plans and monitor spending and legal protections to guarantee “existing city funding for public safety is protected and cannot be reduced or redirected by the City Council for other purposes,” according to verbiage on the measure’s documentation.

In the story, “Jockey finds kindness ‘underneath’ Homes for Our Troops,” published in the July 15 edition of Valley News it was erroneously reported that Chris Van Etten was injured in 2002. He was in fact injured in 2012. Valley News apologizes for the error.

Local VAIL from page A-1 The 4.5-acre site houses an adobe building and the other vestiges of a sprawling, nearly forgotten cattle ranch. It existed as a patch of weeds and tumbledown buildings as waves of growth roared throughout the region.

The site is comprised of a handful of buildings, some of which have been moved or altered, that were built from 1867 through 1920. It is flanked by big box and chain stores not far from Temecula Parkway, one of the busiest streets in the fast-growing city of about 105,000 residents.

A descendant of the Vail family, which was once synonymous with the Temecula Valley, said it was a moment he thought he would never see.

Nathan Vail said he figured all remnants of the ranch would be bulldozed at some point after it was sold to developers in the 1960s.

“To me, it’s an incredible recreation of something I thought

would be gone forever,” he mused to a reporter at the July 16 public unveiling.

Five members of the Vail family traveled from as far away as Santa Barbara to participate in the colorful ceremony and its afterglow.

Dozens of attendees showed up in western wear. Spurs and cowboy boots clicked a time-worn tune as they echoed off wooden sidewalks.

About 10 rough-looking cowboys saluted the moment with their six-shooters. Dynamite Dick, who goes by the name of Tim Kimble in real life, stood in the middle of the pack of Old Town Temecula Gunfighters.

Kimble was decked out in black boots with spurs, a black vest and a black 10-gallon hat. His belt sagged from the weight of a pair of revolvers and a long knife encased in a leather sheath.

A stagecoach ferried guests around the property. The scent of barbecue filled the air. Andrew Masiel, a leader of the Pechanga Indians, was flanked by his fam-

ily beneath a vast tent that shaded onlookers from the sun.

Rebecca Farnbach, a founder of the nonprofit Vail Ranch Restoration Association, was quick to praise and thank everyone who played a role in preserving the place and setting the stage for its future.

“This has always been about the community,” she told the audience.

Farnbach also saluted others who fought for the site’s survival but didn’t make it to the proverbial promised land. They included Jimmy Moore, a longtime community leader who died recently.

Moore was a key figure in Temecula’s successful push to become a city nearly 27 years ago. He repeatedly served as president of the Temecula Valley Historical Society, and was the board secretary at the time of his death. Moore’s wife, Peg, served on the first City Council after Temecula incorporated in December 1989.

“There are people who began this project who didn’t see it come to fruition,” said Farnbach, who has authored a series of community history books and now serves as the Historical Society’s president.

Farnbach’s husband, Darrell, also played a key role in the site’s preservation and restoration. He suffered a heart attack in the midst of the project, but bounced back and helped guide it to completion.

The site’s history dates back thousands of years, and it has been a silent witness to Temecula’s aboriginal, pioneer and boom town eras.

Luiseno Indians lived throughout the area – hunting, fishing and collecting acorns – until they were ejected and isolated as a result of lawsuits and a harsh treaty. The Wolf Adobe, which is believed to date back to 1867, primarily served settlers who were traveling west.

The store was named after Louis Wolf, an immigrant who alternately served as a store owner, postmaster, road commissioner, labor contractor and landowner. The property was at a crossroads of the Southern Emigrant Trail and several local stagecoach routes.

Wolf married Ramona Place in 1862. The area’s pioneer setting and many of its characters were believed to have been incorporated into Helen Hunt Jackson’s “Ramona,” an 1884 novel that exposed many of the abuses that had been inflicted upon California Indians.

The adobe and its cluster of nearby buildings became the heart of the 87,500-acre Vail Ranch by the early 1900s. By then, the town of Temecula had shifted west to the banks of Murrieta Creek, which at one time was flanked by a railroad line that linked San Diego to San Bernardino.

Until it was sold for development in the 1960s, the ranch covered a vast area that stretched from Vail Lake to the Santa Rosa Plateau. At the time of the ranch sale, Temecula consisted of a few Old Town streets surrounded by ranch land and, at a distance, the Pechanga Indian reservation.

Growth soon gobbled up most of Temecula.

The developer of a shopping center project that surrounded the cluster of surviving ranch buildings initially set aside just the adobe and the land it occupied for historic preservation.

That prompted the Farnbachs and a cadre of other historical preservationists to sue Riverside County, which at that time was overseeing the development of the unincorporated Temecula area.

The lawsuit was settled out of court in 1998 after the developer agreed to set aside 4.5-acres that included the adobe, a ranch bunkhouse, an office, a cook’s house, an implement barn and other buildings.

That legal action protected the

site from development, and a modest amount of work was initially done to prevent further deterioration.

In February 1999, county supervisors allocated about $170,000 to help shore up and spruce up the historic adobe building and other structures there.

The center that had engulfed the historic site changed hands, and it became part of the city in 2005 when Temecula annexed the Redhawk and Vail Ranch housing tracts.

A special account was created about that time to set aside sales tax revenues to help pay for the eventual renovation of the ranch headquarters complex.

The historic site was then spun off by the shopping center owner.

Its redevelopment shifted to Arteco Partners, a Pomona-based company

that specializes in revitalizing historic buildings and districts.

Temecula planning commissioners approved Arteco’s development plan in May 2008. Arteco was in the process of wrapping up its financing and moving ahead with its construction plans when the socalled ‘Great Recession’ hit. Bank loans evaporated, unemployment soared and land values plummeted.

After many fits and starts, work finally began on the restoration and renovation project. About that time, Jerry Tessier, president of the company, estimated that the work would cost about $5.5 million.

Tessier eventually moved to Temecula, and he and one or both of the Farnbachs worked at the site on an almost daily basis.

Plans call for portions of the rehabilitated buildings to show how people once lived and how the ranch operated. Special events, historic recreations and school group tours will be held there.

Other portions of the site havebeen rented to an array of business that will begin to open in a few weeks. A certified Farmers Market, which will be held every Tuesday, will be one of the first arrivals.

A June press release identified the following businesses as tenants at the site: Augie’s Coffee Roasters, Project Pie, Nectar Clothing, Winchester Western Saddlery, a la Minute ice cream shop and Cheflavor curated provisions.

In his remarks at the July 16 ribbon cutting, Tessier noted the historic connection created by a tack shop locating at the site. He also urged area shoppers to patronize the cluster of business that will now anchor and maintain such a storied location.

“Thank you, everybody, who believed in our vision,” he said. “This is really your Vail Ranch. Temecula is an amazing community.”

Local San Jacinto Independence Day Hometown Parade winners announced Tony Ault WRITER

Honored Grand Marshal of the 2016 San Jacinto Valley Independence Day Parade Rose Salgado was given an even greater surprise by the parade judges who selected her entry as the “Best of Show.” Rose and her granddaughter Avellaka Arviso, 16, in their decorated car followed the Riverside County Sheriff’s posse bearing the United States and California flags to lead the parade July 4, in San Jacinto.

Salgado, a three-time cancer survivor and active Hemet/San Jacinto Valley school and community leader, represented the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians in the parade passing out souvenirs from the Soboba Springs Country Club and Golf Course.

She was chosen by the panel of three judges for the parade after observing the almost 60 entries in the hometown parade and festival, according to Bruce Malone, member of the newly formed Hemet/San Jacinto Centennial Lions Club.

The Sheriff’s Posse also was the winner of the parade’s “Best Equestrian” entry.

Other award winners in the parade that marched down San Jacinto Avenue and Seventh Street to the Francisco Estudillo Heritage Park on Dillon Avenue that day include the: Most patriotic float: Veterans of Foreign Wars San Jacinto Post 2266 Best Music and Band: San Jacinto High School Tiger Marching Band Best Recycle Use float: The Historic Hemet Theater Best Use of Color: San Jacinto Future Farmers of America Best Costumes: The Ramona Bowl The judges from the Lions club included Lions Club District 4-L5

L.E. residents frustrated over proposed power line projects Ashley Haley VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Many Lake Elsinore residents expressed their frustrations at a Town Hall Meeting in the city’s Cultural Center Thursday, July 14.

Residents learned that Southern California Edison has proposed two projects that may seriously impact the cities of Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Perris and unincorporated areas of Riverside County.

Grant Taylor, director of community development in Lake Elsinore, presented information about the Valley-Ivyglen Subtransmission and Alberhill System Projects from the Draft Environmental Impact Report.

The Valley-Ivyglen Project has proposed the installation of 27 miles of transmission lines with pole heights up to 180 feet through the southwest Riverside cities and county areas. The project would begin in Menifee, wind through Lake Elsinore and end in Corona.

The proposed route of the project would cross Interstates 215,15 and State Route 74. The Valley-Ivyglen Project is expected to take approximately 27 months to complete and would be operational by summer or fall of 2018. The proposed project is expected to widen and create 14 miles of roads, serve projected electrical demand requirements, increase electrical reliability and improve operational flexibility.

The Alberhill System Project proposes the construction of a new megavolt 500/115kV substation, two new 500kV transmission lines, and new double-circuit submission lines. The project also proposed the installation of fiber optic lines overhead and the construction of a 120foot microwave antenna tower at the proposed Alberhill Substation site. The Aberhill Project would cross both freeways and end at a new substation in Lake Elsinore.

The Alberhill System Project will take approximately 28 months

to complete and would be operational by spring or summer 2019 according to SCE officials. The proposed project is expected to relieve projected electrical demand and maintain system ties to provide electricity during emergency events and other maintenance situations.

After presenting information from the Draft Environmental Impact Report, Taylor said Lake Elsinore found the report to be inadequate. He explained that SCE did not adequately analyze the impacts that the projects would have on Lake Elsinore and surrounding cities. These impacts include air quality, noise and vibration, safety hazards, sign conflicts, lower property values, reduced profitability and many more.

Taylor stated, “In the other seven cities combined only four roads are impacted, yet Lake Elsinore has 11 roads impacted. We are bearing the brunt of this project.”

During public comments, Chris Hyland, a resident of Lake Elsinore for 31 years, said, “We have worked hard to improve Lake Elsinore’s image, reputation and physical appearance over the past few years and I feel that this project would set this effort back significantly.”

Tim Fleming, a 22-year resident

of Lake Elsinore said, “Folks, we have been had. The decision has already been made to put these lines in as presented.” He added, “This meeting is no more than a preview of what is to come.”

Mary Appleman is a 40-year resident of Warm Springs Valley who owns a small farm. She expressed concerns about how the power lines would affect the health of animals, children and elderly citizens. “Edison is trying to pull a fast one,” Appleman said.

SCE officials and the reviewing agency were invited to the Town Hall Meeting but they declined to attend.

Lake Elsinore’s City Council and residents are pushing for an alternative that involves installing power and transmission lines underground rather than above ground to lessen the significance of the impacts.

Lake Elsinore has submitted a 13-page letter to the California Public Utilities Commission and has requested that the commission have a hearing near Lake Elsinore.

Although the deadline for public comments has passed, residents of Lake Elsinore and surrounding cities can stay up to date on these issues by regularly visiting http:// www.lake-elsinore.org/home.

Annual Cooking Showdown at Atria Park Natalie Witt VALLEY NEWS INTERN

As July brings the heat to the Temecula Valley, so does Atria Park of Vintage Hills.

Atria Park hosted its annual “Cooking Showdown” July 13, where Atria’s own Chef Imee Fontecha faced off against Applebee’s Jennifer Trabucco for gourmet glory. Atria Park retirement homes nationwide host a similar event, making this a national competition. For this year’s showdown, the chefs had one necessary ingredient that they needed to incorporate into their dishes, watermelon.

The competition was a blind taste test judged by participating residents from the community, including a Resident Ambassador from Atria Park. The first dish served was Trabucco’s grilled salmon complimented by a juicy watermelon salsa. “When I think summer, I think grill,” she said later in the event. Trabucco also served up some tasty watermelon margaritas for the judges to chase her delectable entrée with. After Trabucco’s contributions were

winner. The victorious chef found her passion for the culinary arts at age 18 after she left the house, rebelling against her parents’ restriction from cooking at home.

She set out and tasted a variety of foods and attempted to duplicate them to gain experience.

Trabucco had never participated in a showdown before and said getting to know Fontecha and joking with him was the best part of her experience.

Fontecha discovered his love for cooking at a young age, similar to Trabucco. He recalls receiving immense support from

his father and experimenting with preparing varieties of foods at a young age. “The first thing I ever made was lasagna,” he remembers. To pursue his culinary career, he attended Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts and is now loved at Atria Park as its Director of Culinary Services and Senior Chef. Fontecha has come a long way since embarking toward his aspirations to become an exceptional culinary artist.

Each year, July at Atria Park is a month of fun, cooking related festivities. Last July, Fontecha partook in a weekly “cooking

Fontecha says he loves “making the residents happy” at Atria Park because everyone there is like a close-knit family.

Pony All-Stars seek summer success during tournament play JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Baseball in the Temecula Valley has been getting very competitive for of all ages these days. With the recent success of high school programs like Temecula Valley (2014) and Murrieta Mesa (2016) winning CIF Championships, the upbringing of the players in the local youth leagues is where it all starts.

The post season fun is where most local leagues focus their energy when the summer starts and that’s when the gloves come off for the managers who spent their spring season chasing hardware at the recreation level. Competitive baseball can start as early as 5-yearsold, which is great for those hard-core parents that live vicariously through their players, but it is not for the faint of heart either. Summer plans have to get put on hold and of course travel expenses can get a little out of control the further into tournament play a team goes.

The last few years there has been an increase in local teams competing and much success has come for a quite a few of the All-Star teams from the local PONY Baseball organizations, which stands for “Protect our Nation’s Youth.”

PONY is one of the largest advocates for youth baseball and softball internationally and some would even say has more of a fan base than that of its Little League counterpart because of the implementation of real baseball rules at an earlier age. PONY also with bigger field dimensions, does not get the same attention Little League does due to their relationship with ESPN. In PONY All-Stars, many of the teams are separated by colors for the most part, especially when some leagues may have two or three teams representing the same division and instead of trophies, the teams go all-out to bring big championship banners back to their leagues, which get proudly hung on the outfield fences for the up and coming teams to see for years to come.

The start of tournament play was broken up into District and Sectional Brackets earlier this month where host cities all over Southern California, including Murrieta, French Valley, Hemet and San Jacinto welcomed the All-Star players and their families.

Teams that won at the district level were given an automatic advance to Region qualifiers and those that lost in District were given a sec-

ond chance in the Section arena where the winner and runner-up also get to advance to Regions as well.

As the 2016 post season PONY tournaments have gotten underway, teams from our area have already lived up to the expectations of being the more competitive teams. A World Series berth is what teams are seeking and of course the final win is the icing on the cake for these young athletes and their families.

As it looks, only one team in the history of the local leagues has won the coveted title of being the nation’s best and that was the Murrieta Bronco 11U Orange All-Star team in 2015, represented by the Cal Select Baseball Club.

The players from Temecula and Murrieta that were on the World Series Championship team won five of the six West Zone All-Star Tournaments they played in, including the International Bracket of the PONY World Series in Virginia.

Through the third week of July, Temecula has brought home the most championships banners for their league with eight. Murrieta has won seven banners thus far, Valley Wide in Hemet won four, French Valley won three, Elsinore Valley has two and Menifee brought home one

Local volleyball standout makes USA Olympic Team Tom Ferrall STAFF WRITER

Imagine dreaming of something spectacular as a young child, and then working nonstop to achieve that goal despite physical and emotional setbacks. Imagine the feeling when all the hard work results in the dream becoming a reality.

Carli Lloyd, a native of Bonsall and a 2007 Fallbrook High School graduate, doesn’t have to imagine.

She’s living her dream after being named to the U.S. Olympic women’s volleyball team that will compete in Rio next month.

“A lot of joy,” said Lloyd of her initial feelings after receiving official word from USA Volleyball July 11 that she had made the team. “It is a surreal experience just because it’s something you dream about.”

Lloyd said her feelings intensified as the news sunk in.

“You train hard and hopefully one day you get there,” said Lloyd.

“For it to happen, the chances are really, really low, so the last few days have been really emotional.

I cry a lot without really having any reason to. I get the chills a lot, which is something pretty incredible. It’s just really a joyous feeling.”

Carli began playing volleyball at age 11 and after starring at Fall-

Olympic play Aug. 6 against Puerto Rico and Lloyd’s rooting section will consist of her mother, Cindy Lloyd; her uncle, Galen Tomlinson; her sister, Coral Lloyd; her brother, Doug Lloyd and her cousin, Kourtney Lucy.

Tomlinson, who was Turbo in the 1980s TV series American Gladiator, was Lloyd’s mentor and coach in both volleyball and track and field in her youth. Tomlinson moved in with Lloyd shortly after her father died when she was age 4 and came to be a father figure for her.

Lloyd, who visits her mom and uncle in Bonsall “as often as I have off,” said she isn’t overly concerned about what has been one of the major storylines heading into the Rio Games, the Zika virus, which is prompting some athletes to stay away from the games.

“The USOC (United States Olympic Committee) and all the people working around us are doing their best to have us prepared and overly aware of how to be as careful as possible,” said Lloyd. “I’m not super concerned about it. Our team is going, we’re going to take our precautions and stay as healthy as we can and control what we can.”

Lloyd is looking forward to her Olympic experience.

“We’ve all heard stories about

how, obviously, this is the top of the top,” said Lloyd. “You’re representing your country walking out onto the court or the field and hearing your national anthem.

People say all these things are indescribable. I’m really humbled and honored to be able to actually participate and be one of those athletes. I’m looking forward to all those things.”

Dean Fioresi SPORTS WRITER

The San Diego Padres hosted the 2016 MLB All-Star Game last week, bringing some much needed excitement to San Diego sports life.

One of the many events held over the weekend was the MLB All-Star Fanfest, which provided fans with the opportunity to interact with the MLB and it’s many different facets.

At FanFest, fans were able to walk through pop-up Baseball Hall of Fame, Negro League Hall of Fame, and memorabilia booths.

Along with the booths, FanFestgoers were able to participate in different events like tracking their pitch speed, hitting in a home run derby, and showing off their range in fielding practice.

The event, held inside of the San Diego Convention Center, also provided a unique experience for dozens of young baseball players, who were given the opportunity to play an exhibition game like the Temecula Rough Riders. Made up of players from the Temecula Youth Baseball league, the Rough Riders were invited to play in a game in front of all FanFest participants.

Led by manager Jimmy Calas

brook High, she did the same at the University of California, Berkeley, where she majored in social welfare. In 2010, she became the first Cal Golden Bear to earn honors as the American Volleyball Coaches Association national player of the year and helped lead Cal to its first Pac-10 (now the Pac-12) championship as well as to the national championship match, which was won by Penn State.

The Bonsall native joined USA Volleyball in 2011 and has spent the majority of the last four years in Italy, where she plays professional volleyball in the prestigious Champions League. Following the Olympics in Rio, she’ll rejoin her team in Italy in September.

Lloyd and her teammates have one goal – to become the first U.S. women’s indoor volleyball squad to win an Olympic gold medal. The U.S. women’s team has been the runner-up, or silver medalist, three times – in 1984 (lost to China), 2008 (Brazil) and 2012 (Brazil).

“It would be an incredible, incredible thing to make history with this group of girls,” said Lloyd.

“Our motto is ‘All In.’ What that means to us is we are exactly what that saying says – all in. We’re doing everything we can to make this program the best it can be.”

How to take back your downtime Schedule activities during before or after office hours. Men and women who want to take back their downtime may benefit if they start to schedule activities during those hours that aren’t meant to be spent at the office. Rather than planning on going to the gym, plans that can easily fall apart if a particularly difficult project lands on your desk, schedule sessions with a physical trainer or sign up for classes with a friend or family member. You will be less likely to work during your downtime if you have already paid for a training session or class or have scheduled a dinner date or another activity with a loved one. Especially busy professionals can plan activities for one or two weeknights per week so they know they are leaving the office on time no less than 20 percent of the time.

Encourage team-building activities with coworkers. One way to ensure you get out of the office

TEMECULA – Many working professionals have hectic schedules.

Perhaps due to technology that now allows men and women to stay connected to the office no matter where they might be, a great number of men and women now exceed the traditional full-time employment standard of 40 hours per week. In fact, data from the 2013 and 2014 Gallup Work and Education polls indicates that adults employed full time in the United States work an average of 47 hours per week, almost an entire extra workday.

Some working professionals have little recourse with regard to reducing the number of hours they work each week. But those who find themselves unknowingly working extra hours, whether it’s by checking work emails at home or answering business calls even after leaving the office, can take steps to regain their downtime for themselves.

on time is to promote team-building activities with your coworkers.

Propose a company softball team or encourage your bosses to sponsor a company bowling team. Such activities can create stronger bonds between you and your coworkers, and they also ensure all of you get out of the office on time at least once per week. While you won’t necessarily avoid talking about work, you will be out of the office and having fun while you relax rather than sitting at your desk and burning the midnight oil.

Turn off your devices. Professionals who own smartphones or tablets can now check work emails or monitor work projects whether they’re sitting in their offices or lounging on the couch at home with their families. Working men and women looking to work less during their downtime should consider turning off those devices that keep them connected to their offices.

Working professionals looking to spend less of their downtime working can avoid checking work emails after leaving their offices for the day.

This may be more difficult than you think, as a 2013 survey conducted

by Opinion Matters on behalf of GFI Software found that 39 percent of participants acknowledged checking work emails outside of standard work hours, while a whopping 81 percent of the more than

500 respondents said they check their work email on weekends. Men and women who want to regain their downtime for themselves can try turning off their devices upon leaving the office, resisting the temptation to check work emails on nights and weekends.

Dietary disorientation, most Americans still confused about good versus bad fats us that more education is needed to help differentiate these types of fats, and identify the role they play in our diets and the impact they have on our health.”

MISSION VIEJO – Despite the influx of information about dietary fats becoming available to consumers nationwide, a new survey by the Hass Avocado Board (HAB) revealed that many Americans are still unclear about the definition and impact of “good” and “bad” fats.

In a survey of more than 2,000 adults, more than a third (36 percent) incorrectly thought that all fats play a role in increased cholesterol levels, compared to 42 percent of respondents in 2014. Respondents categorized as Millennials (aged 18-35) may feel more educated about which foods to eat and which to avoid (66 percent), but they also incorrectly indicated that saturated fats are considered good fats (21 percent), up 7 percent from 2014. While some progress has been made over the past two years, there’s still work to be done to educate consumers.

“Today’s consumer knows that there’s a difference between good fats and bad fats, but they can’t yet make the distinction,” said Emiliano Escobedo, executive director of the Hass Avocado Board. “This tells

The Millennial divide making an effort • The survey indicated that there’s a hunger for healthy choices. Millennials try hardest (71 percent) among the overall population (67 percent) to make some or a strong effort to eat more foods high in good fats.

Being informed • Millennials also said they feel more educated about which foods to eat and which to avoid, (66 percent) versusthe entire population (62 percent).

• Encouragingly, more than threequarters of overall respondents (82 percent) said they’re paying attention to this type of information. But this doesn’t equate to understanding.

Recognizing health benefits • Millennials (63 percent) trail behind the overall population (72 percent) in believing a positive impact of including good fats in their diets is the lowering of bad cholesterol. Even fewer Millennials (61 percent) feel including good fats lessen the risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

tion at large.

According to the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, small shifts in food choices can make a big difference; including a shift from solid fats like those found in trans fats and saturated fats, to oils, like the oil in fresh avocados.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, saturated and trans fats raise LDL (or ‘bad’) cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease.

That’s why it’s advisable to choose foods that have good – monounsaturated and polyunsaturated – fats as part of a healthful diet.

Identifying sources of good fats • While most respondents were fairly adept at indicating that nuts (76 percent), salmon (74 percent), olive oil (69 percent) and avocados (68 percent) contain good fats, Millennials haven’t quite caught on (71 percent, 65 percent, 59 percent and 65 percent, respectively).

• Specifically, more Hispanics (73 percent) know that avocados are a good source of fat than the popula-

Sources of naturally good fats Avocados are virtually the only fruit with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, or “good fats.”

In fact, over 75 percent of the fat in avocados is good fat that acts as a nutrient booster by helping to increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. They are also cholesterol free and do not raise LDL, or bad, cholesterol.

About the survey The results are based on a survey conducted among a sample of 2,035 adults comprising 1,010 men and 1,025 women 18 years of age and older, living in the continental United States, between March 7-13, 2016. A sample size of 2,035 carries a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points.

The survey was conducted by CARAVAN®, an omnibus service of ORC International.

Family caregivers urged to explore insurance options and resources SACRAMENTO – The world’s population is living longer and by 2030, the over 65 age group is expected to double. As a result, family caregivers are becoming more common, which is why Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones is recommending family caregivers understand their insurance needs and consider available options.

“Making informed insurance decisions can help alleviate the financial pressures felt by family

caregivers,” said Commissioner Jones. “It is important to know your options and take steps to safeguard your assets to ensure your financial well-being. The Department of Insurance is here to help.”

According to a recent study, 85 percent of caregivers provide care for a relative, with 49 percent of those caring for a parent or parentin-law. Providing full-time care for a family member is a full-time job, even if it doesn’t earn a traditional

salary. Problems often arise when a caregiver is suddenly incapacitated and unable to provide care for a dependent senior, often creating significant expenses.

Caregivers may want to consider obtaining a life insurance policy to help provide support to others in case something happens to them.

Another consideration is disability income insurance, which offers protection by replacing a percentage of one’s previous income if

they are unable to work due to a disability. If a caregiver plans to leave a job to be a full-time caregiver, they need to ensure they will have access to health care.

When searching for a caregiver outside of the family, one may choose to work with an agency, but must do their homework to ensure the service is reputable. If one hires a private-duty caregiver (someone not affiliated with a caregiving agency) for in-home care, they

will be responsible for tax obligations, legal issues and insurance coverage.

The California Department of Insurance’s Senior Gateway, found at www.seniors.ca.gov/, is a onestop website intended to assist those caring for seniors and help them find solutions to common and reoccurring problems of an aging population.

The Skin Cancer Foundation shares sun protection tips for young children Skin Cancer Foundation. “All of the sun damage we receive as children adds up and greatly increases skin cancer risk later in life. That’s why it’s so important that parents make sun protection a priority early in life.”

The Skin Cancer Foundation wants parents and caregivers to know that skin cancer is highly preventable, and offers the following tips to help keep babies and toddlers sunsafe this summer and all year long: Seek shade. Avoid direct sun exposure during peak sun hours, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. On walks, keep to the shady side of the street and use the sun shield on your stroller.

Cover up. Keep your baby covered up with a brimmed hat and lightweight clothing that fully covers the

NEW YORK, NY – Some babies are being exposed to the sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays in the first six months of life, when their skin is most vulnerable. In fact, a research team at the University of Miami found that as many as one-third of local parents actively increased their infant’s sun exposure each day, believing mistakenly that it would build their babies’ tolerance to the sun’s rays. As a result, 12 percent of the parents reported that their babies’ skin had tanned before they were six months old, and 3 percent said their infants had been sunburned.

“Sun exposure can be extremely dangerous for babies due to their thin skin and relative lack of melanin - the skin pigment that provides some sun protection,” says Deborah S. Sarnoff, M.D., senior vice president of The

arms and legs. For added protection, look for special clothing marked with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 30 or more, which means the clothing will only allow 1/30th of the sun’s UV rays to reach the skin.

Be careful in the car. While glass screens out most UVB rays, the chief cause of sunburn, UVA rays can penetrate windows. Like UVB rays, UVA rays damage DNA and can lead to skin cancer. By law, front windshields are treated to filter out most UVA, but side and rear windows generally aren’t. Consider buying a UV shield, which you can hang over any window that allows sunlight to reach the child’s car seat. Another option is to install professional protective window film.

Start sunscreen at six months.

Since infants’ skin is so sensitive, it’s best to keep newborns out of the sun rather than use sunscreen. Beginning at six months of age, it’s time to introduce daily sunscreen use. Choose a broad-spectrum, water-resistant

sunscreen, SPF 15 or higher. Look at active ingredients; zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are good choices, because these physical filters don’t rely on absorption of chemicals and are less apt to cause a skin reaction.

You may want to test sunscreen on the inside of your baby’s wrist. If the child has a little irritation, try another sunscreen.

Toddlers move around a lot, so you may need to get creative with your sunscreen application routine.

Sunscreen sticks work well for the face and hands, since toddlers are less likely to rub the product into their eyes. Sprays are another good option. Make sure to apply the sunscreen evenly and liberally all over your baby’s exposed skin. For the face, apply into your hands, then apply to your baby’s face.

Use sunscreen properly. Use sunscreen on all exposed areas not covered by clothing, such as the back of the hands, face, ears and neck.

Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before

going out and reapply it every two hours or more frequently if you take your baby into the pool or if he or she is sweating.

About The Skin Cancer Foundation The Skin Cancer Foundation is the only global organization solely devoted to the prevention, early detection and treatment of skin cancer.

The mission of the Foundation is to decrease the incidence of skin cancer through public and professional education and research. Since its inception in 1979, the Foundation has recommended following a complete sun protection regimen that includes seeking shade and covering up with clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses, in addition to daily sunscreen use.

$160 million on prescriptions with discount program SACRAMENTO – California residents have saved more than $160 million on their prescriptions over the past five years by using the Coast2Coast Rx Card. This costsavings program allows all California residents – regardless of income, age or health status – to save on the costs of their medications.

San Diego County residents have saved more than $40 million since the program was adopted.

Overall, 32 California counties have implemented the Coast2Coast RX program. Nationwide, the program

is saving cardholders an average of 60 percent on the cost of prescription drugs.

The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) has endorsed the program.

“The Coast2Coast RX Program has proven to be a valuable asset to California residents,” said CSAC executive director Matt Cate. “We encourage all counties to participate in this program that significantly reduces prescription costs while enhancing the health and well-being of our residents.”

The prescription card, which includes more than 60,000 drugs in its formulary, is distributed free of charge and may be used at all pharmacy chains and most independent pharmacies in California.

Residents who would like to participate in the free Coast2CoastRx prescription savings program can print a card at www.coast2coastrx. com/index.php/print-free-card/ county/.

In addition, residents can call (800) 931-8872 to obtain a card via regular mail.

Students named to the deans’ list at Maryville University ST. LOUIS, MO – Maryville University has named Kellie McCarthy of Menifee and Amber Rivadeneira of Temecula to the deans’ list for the

spring, 2016 semester. Maryville undergraduate students are eligible for the deans’ list when they complete at least 12 Maryville Univer-

sity credit hours in a semester with a minimum of a 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 (perfect) scale.

Maryville University was found-

Governor signs Leyva Career Tech education bill SACRAMENTO – Last week, Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation authored by Sen. Connie M. Leyva (D-Chino) that continues to allow students to take Career Technical Education courses in high school in to meet one of the necessary high school graduation requirements.

SB 1123 will extend until July 1, 2022, the option for students to take CTE courses to fulfill the existing graduation requirement to take a course in visual or performing arts (VPA) or foreign language. This choice was first made available in 2011 with the passage of AB 1330.

Motivated in part by studies that found high school students were

dropping out of school because they were uninterested and disengaged by coursework, this new option gave students another choice in their education in order to help them stay engaged in their classes.

This option for students is currently slated to sunset on July 1, 2017.

“SB 1123 allows students to have another choice in their education, one that research has shown improves their chances of success after high school and reaching their future goals,” Sen. Leyva said. “I thank Governor Brown for signing SB 1123 and for continuing to allow students the opportunity to meet one of their graduation requirements by taking CTE

courses so that they may receive practical skills and real life work experience. I also appreciate the tremendous support by my legislative colleagues in both the Senate and Assembly, as SB 1123 did not receive a single ‘No’ vote during its legislative journey.”

Research shows that students who complete both an academic and a CTE sequence of courses in high school have a higher likelihood of being enrolled in postsecondary education and being employed in professional, managerial or skilled jobs. Notably, the Public Policy Institute of California found that the state will likely face a labor shortage of 1.5 million work-

ers with “some college” education, mostly workers who have either completed an associate degree or some type of certificate,by 2025.

CTE will be a key component for students to obtain these types of jobs and alleviate this shortage.

SB 1123 received strong bipartisan support in the California Legislature and takes effect on Jan. 1,

MSJC and local hospitals produce 40 new RNs

SAN JACINTO – Forty new nurses will enter the region’s workforce soon thanks to the partnership between Mt. San Jacinto College’s Nursing and Allied Health Department and local hospitals.

MSJC’s Summer 2016 Occupational Internship teamed with Physicians for Healthy Hospitals in Hemet and Menifee, San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital in Banning and Riverside University Health Systems Medical Center in Riverside to give the nursing students the hands-on training that prepares them for the transition into the role of licensed registered nurse.

This program paired the newly graduated nurses with experienced RNs for four weeks. The nursing student worked the same schedule as the experienced RN to gain indepth knowledge in the field.

Dr. Joseph Morris, associate dean of MSJC’s Nursing Department, said the occupational internship program benefits the community and supports the career advancement of new health care professionals.

“These internship opportunities instill confidence, allow students to fine-tune their clinical skills, and get evaluated by potential employers,” Morris said.

Dr. Peter Zografos, MSJC School of Nursing director, said that MSJC’s internship is different from other internships offered. Students in MSJC’s occupational internship do not have to wait for state licensing before they can begin working and establishing relationships with potential health care employers.

Dr. Kathryn McLaughlin, chief nursing officer with PHH said, the partnership is one way of fulfilling PHH’s mission.

“This is a very important relationship for the PHH facilities,” McLaughlin said. “Our facility mission statement is ‘healing our community’ and what better way to accomplish this than by supporting our local educational institutions with growing the next generation of health care professionals.”

MSJC student Mary Schoop of Sun City spent four weeks interning at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital. Schoop believes she is more prepared for work as a nurse. “A great benefit was having the opportunity to apply my skills and grow,” Schoop said. “Working alongside seasoned professionals in the field made this opportunity real.”

MSJC student Dylan Hedge, of Murrieta, participated in the internship program with PHH at its Menifee location. “This program gave me the chance to apply everything I’ve learned and marketed me to potential employers,” he said.

MSJC students who completed the internship can place this experience on their resumes in order to give them an advantage in a competitive workforce. The MSJC Nursing program actively pursues partnerships with local clinics, hospitals and other health organizations in effort to provide RN students with real-world experience. The next Occupational Internship will be offered in summer 2017.

What Obama should say, but won’t Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO ANZA VALLEY OUTLOOK

There so much hope that we would finally heal what was left of the racial divide that exists in this country when Barack Obama was elected president of the United States. That’s why many threw caution to the wind and voted for a poorly qualified man with Marxist tendencies to lead us. That’s why so many were willing to stick with him for another four years. Surely, he would finally come through … but he hasn’t.

His speech Tuesday in Dallas was, without a doubt, one of his best. However, after extolling the virtues of the Dallas police and the fallen, he simply couldn’t resist the temptation to legitimize those who feel the police are out to get them, as he has done many times before.

Over the last year, we watched as Obama gave Black Lives Matter, the group that is largely responsible for stirring the racial caldron and ginning up hatred against police,

credibility. He even invited one of its leaders to the White House.

What Obama should have said early on in the case of these highly publicized deaths of black men at the hands of police is: “Let’s wait until all the facts are in before we pronounce judgment on these police officers. If we are willing to pronounce guilt prematurely, simply because these officers are white, that is racism of the worst sort. All decent individuals should reject such a thing.” Taking a verse from the Bible, as the president is prone to do when he is between a rock and a hard place, “Do not judge, lest you be judged.”

When it came to light in Ferguson, Missouri, that would-be cop killer Michael Brown did not raise his hands in an attempt to surrender, Obama himself should have denounced the phrase that has motivated so much hate against the police. “Hands up, don’t shoot” was and is a lie!

Obama should have been the first one to stand up for police officer

Darren Wilson, who was simply doing his job – but he didn’t. Wilson’s life was upended when he shot Brown, who had just robbed a convenience store, in self-defense – a fact Obama conveniently overlooked.

Obama should acknowledge that police, quite naturally, are more afraid in an encounter with a black male than a white male – even black police officers – because black men disproportionally commit more crimes. In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder.

Blacks account for 42 percent of cop killers where the race is known, even though they make up only 13 percent of the population.

Why is that? Obama, as the first black president, has the moral authority to talk about it, but he hasn’t and he won’t.

Blacks are much more likely than whites to have children out of wedlock, and black males are much more likely to skip out on the mother of their children than males

of other races. Over 70 percent of black children are born out of wedlock, which is an express ticket to a life of poverty and a fast track to crime and incarceration.

Obama should say, “It is time for the black community to take charge and declare a war on illegitimacy. It’s also time for the black community to declare war on those individuals, organization and movements that want to capitalize on this violence and blame others for our problems that we create for ourselves.”

While Obama has experienced some of the negative aspects of the “black experience,” he never talks about the benefits of being black.

He should say, “If you are black and do well in school, you are much more likely to get a college scholarship than someone who is white. You are much more likely to get admitted to a college than a white guy with the same grades.

You are much more likely to get a government grant to do a study or a

loan to start a business than a white guy, and if you start a business, you are much more likely to get a government contract. All things being equal, as a racial minority, you are much more likely to be hired by a business over the guy who is lily white. Companies get credit for hiring a minority, any minority.

They get no credit for hiring a white guy. So go out there and work hard in school. Achieve. Stop whining.

The sky is the limit! You can even be president of the United States.”

Now that would be leadership, but a leader, sadly, Obama is not.

blocks from where my parents had lived long ago. Isn’t that funny? I loved that area, so why would my parents have moved from there in the early ‘50s? (Oh my God. White flight. I think they moved from downtown Grand Rapids to the suburbs in the early ‘50s to get away from the black people who lived downtown.) Yup. I grew up in a racist-free family in a racist-free suburb of Grand Rapids, Michigan.

(Or so I thought.)

Whatever my past, I now live in Southern California and I do my best to let the words of Dr. King be my guide. “I have a dream...when

all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

If you examine your life for any racist tendencies, whatever your past, I hope you, too, end up letting Dr. King’s words be your guide.

None of us is racist. Right?

Bill Freeman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Given the recent killings of black men by white police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota, and the recent killings of white police officers by a black man in Dallas, I believe we should each examine our lives for any racist tendencies.

But it’s not always easy.

I grew up in a racist-free family in the racist-free suburb of Grand Rapids, Michigan. (Or so I thought.) My grandma lived next door to us when I was a kid. I loved her. But she had a black cat. I didn’t

like that black cat from the time, when I was about 8, I opened her front door and there was the black cat, standing proudly, with a bird in its mouth. Gross. We moved shortly after that and I didn’t think about that black cat again until I was in college. I was talking with some friends and said, “My grandma had a black cat when I was a kid and its name was...” (Oh my God. My grandma named that black cat the first three letters of the N-word. I was mortified.) “...hmmm, I guess I don’t remember that cat’s name.”

(I wanted to take a shower.)

I was in high school and my

family was sitting around the dinner table when I leaned back in my chair. My father said, “Sit up like a white man.” (What the heck does that mean? That sounds pretty racist. But I didn’t say anything, because back then I hadn’t found my voice yet. Since then I have found my voice. And I still lean back in my chair.)

As an adult, I came across the house in downtown Grand Rapids where my parents lived before they moved to the suburbs in the early ‘50s. When I moved back to Grand Rapids in the late ‘70s, I ended up living downtown, just a couple

Saluting law enforcement Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Now seems an appropriate time to salute the brave men and women of law enforcement. Without them, our lives of safety, security and freedom wouldn’t be possible.

This region is fortunate to have the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, covering the unin-

In response to the recent tragedy in Dallas, Escondido Police Chief Craig Carter issued the following

statement to the men and women of his department: “We all took an oath to protect and serve and it is exactly in these times we are needed most. You all represent what is the best in our honorable profession and I am confident that you will all continue to be professional as the nation watches our reaction.”

Well-known Anza resident motorcyclist killed in Temecula head-on collision Trevor Montgomery WRITER

A 77-year-old motorcycle rider, identified as Anza resident Paul Elmore, was killed in a head-on traffic collision Saturday, July 16.

The accident occurred at 6:44 p.m. near the intersection of Rainbow Canyon Road, about one-half mile south of Bay Hill Drive, in Temecula, according to sheriff officials.

Elmore had just been re-elected to his position on the Anza Electric Co-Op Board of Directors earlier

the same day.

Emergency first responders rushed to the location after Riverside County emergency dispatchers received numerous calls from motorists reporting the fatal accident.

Callers reported a motorcyclist had collided head-on with a sedan.

Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Temecula Police Station were the first to arrive at the accident scene and provided emergency medical care to Elmore, who suffered major traumatic injuries.

Firefighters and paramedics

quickly arrived and took over providing medical treatment to the motorcycle rider, who has only been identified as a male from Anza.

Paramedics transported Elmore to Temecula Valley Hospital for further treatment. Sadly, Elmore succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead by hospital staff.

Nobody else was injured as a result of the collision, according to Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant William Pratt.

“The preliminary investigation at the scene revealed the motorcy-

clist was traveling northbound on Rainbow Canyon Road and crossed the center divider for unknown reasons,” Pratt explained. “The motorcycle struck a sedan in the opposing traffic lane.”

“At this time, it is not believed drugs and/or alcohol are a factor in this collision,” Pratt wrote in a press release about the incident.

Rainbow Canyon Road between Bay Hill Road and Rainbow Canyon Road remained closed until 10:30 p.m. while deputies conducted their investigation.

Anyone with information regarding this collision is encouraged to contact Officer Opice at the Temecula Police Department at (951) 696-3000 or after hours and on weekends at 951-776-1099.

Callers can refer to incident file number TE161690115 and can remain anonymous. Citizens may also submit a tip using the Sheriff’s CrimeTips online form available at www.riversidesheriff.org/crimetips/.

Firefighters make quick work of afternoon blaze Firefighters work at dampening a July 18, brush fire that broke out before 2 p.m. just south of Temecula Parkway, between Temecula Creek Inn and southbound Interstate 15.

PRSRT STD US POSTAGE PAID , CA FALLBROOK #499 PERMIT

Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Menifee Police Station are investigating after a church in Menifee was first vandalized and then burglarized in two consecutive overnight incidents.

The Menifee United Church of Christ, located at 26701 McCall Boulevard, in Menifee, was broken into sometime during the evening Monday, July 11. Knives were wedged between two doors, trash and garbage were strewn about throughout the inside and outside the church, a picnic table was overturned, and concrete patio benches were smashed.

The following night, just hours after the church’s Senior Minister Bill Freeman and his wife Kathleen finished cleaning up the mess left by the vandals, the church was burglarized.

During the burglary, the church’s safe was stolen. According to Freeman, the safe contained hundreds of dollars in cash and checks from the previous Sunday’s offerings as well as important legal documents.

The back-to-back incidents have left Freeman bewildered and wondering why their church would be targeted, although Freeman said, “I have my suspicions.”

Freeman explained the church prides itself on its’ liberal approach and welcomes all people regardless of age, sex, race, class, nationality, sexual orientation or gender identity.

“I don’t know if we were vandalized and burglarized because we’re a liberal church in a conservative community,” Freeman said, explaining the church recently placed a rainbow flag and a coexist sign on the side of its building. Two previous rainbow flags were stolen from the front of the church in the last few months, according to Freeman.

Freeman’s wife, Kathleen, was in tears following the two incidents and said she felt violated.

The church filed police reports about both incidents and was contacted Wednesday by sheriff’s officials who had located the church’s safe in the Canyon Lake area. “I was told the door to the safe had been blown off and all the contents from inside were gone,” Freeman said.

In an effort to better secure the facility, the church just had all the locks on their entire property re-keyed at a cost of over $4,000, money that Freeman said was difficult to come up with after the theft of their safe that contained all their week’s tithes and offerings.

“We have no idea who would rob us like this,” Freeman said.

“People have problems all the time and churches aren’t immune, but it’s just so sad to see something like this happen.”

“We just hope the police catch whoever did it,” Freeman said.

One firefighter was transported to the hospital with moderate injuries, she said.

At one point all four lanes of the northbound 15 were closed down as firefighters attempted to get a handle on the flames.

The fire damaged several golf

A time capsule buried at Murrieta Fire Station #1 on July 1, 1991, to celebrate the city’s incorporation 25 years ago was revealed during a Shane Gibson photos ceremony held on, July 12.

Murrieta unearths time capsule to mark city’s 25th anniversary

Murrieta city firefighters help raise the 25 year time capsule from the hole at Fire Station #1 during a reveal ceremony. The time capsule was buried July 1, 1991, to celebrate the city’s incorporation.

Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

Murrieta residents and officials celebrated their city’s 25th anniversary by pulling a rust-crusted metal box out of the ground that contained documents and memorabilia dating back to its municipal roots.

The ceremonial unearthing of a city time capsule featured a bit of fanfare and moments of reflection on the city’s transition from a sleepy outpost to the “Gem of the Valley” and now as the selfproclaimed “Future of Southern California.”

“We have seen incredible growth and changes in Murrieta,” Jeffrey Harmon, president of the fledgling Murrieta Valley Historical Society, said in his opening remarks. “It’s time for us to recognize our history and our achievements.”

The sun-splashed July 12 event attracted about 140 people, including several current and former council members, employees and residents who played key roles in the city’s July 1991 formation.

It was held in the city’s first fire station, a building that mirrors the transformation of a community that traces its pioneer roots to 1873.

Jerry Allen, the city’s first mayor and a longtime fire chief, traveled from Texas to speak at the event and mingle with longtime friends.

Photos were circulated of several attendees who were infants, toddlers or adolescents at the time of

As Murrieta’s operations became increasingly squeezed by its crammed facilities, the city purchased a 34-acre site that is now home to an array of public buildings.

In 2002, an $11 million police station was the first building to open in Murrieta’s civic center complex, a multi-phased project that was intended to help revive the city’s historic business district. The $13.5 million City Hall, which totals about 36,000 square feet, opened in March 2008. A city library and senior center were also built there.

That government complex pulsed with visitor traffic as the time capsule event wound down.

Hanson rubbed her hands in a bid to try to buff away the mold that had stained her fingers green when she removed the sealed materials from the safe. She noted that it was fortunate that city officials had previously decided to unearth the capsule after 25 years instead of 50.

“I was always concerned about it,” she mused. “It still got a lot of moisture in there.”

Entertainment

‘Step Right Up!’ circus exhibit now on display at Temecula Valley Museum Throughout the first half of the 20th century, through the Great Depression and the midwest dust bowl, one form of revelry thrived – the circus. Traveling from coast to coast, rail cars packed with canvas tents, exotic animals, strongmen, fat ladies and all sorts of roustabouts brought much needed relief to millions of Americans. In cities, towns and villages across the country, the day the circus came to town was a regional holiday. Businesses closed and schools let out early. Circus Day was second only to Christmas as the most important day of the year.

Enthusiastic onlookers would gather at the local railroad station to get a

glimpse of the exotic procession of man and beast that resembled the unloading of Noah’s Ark. The Temecula Valley Museum’s new exhibit, “Step Right Up! Behind the Scenes of the Circus Big Top, 1890-1965,” takes you into the world behind the canvas and explores the motivations that drove people to choose the circus life. The circus was a marvelous, self-contained city with as many as 1,500 residents. There were cooks and bakers, waiters and dishwashers, doctors and veterinarians. There were barbers, welders, mechanics, electricians and seamstresses. There was even a makeshift schoolhouse, where students of all

grade levels tended to their studies.

The circus performers bounced back and forth between the magnificent and the mundane.

As one of America’s oldest theatrical traditions, the circus started in Europe in the late 1700s and was perfected in the United States by the likes of John Bill Ricketts and P.T. Barnum, who first introduced us to sideshow oddities like the Feejee Mermaid and Tom Thumb.

By 1900, there were more than 100 circuses crisscrossing the country.

They were adept at using all of the advancements of America’s industrial revolution – the railroad, color lithography and mass marketing.

The imagery, backstage stories and photographs featured in “Step Right Up!” reveal both the fantasy and the reality of circus life. This fascinating exhibit will only be on display until Sunday, August 7.

In conjunction with this exhibit, the Temecula Valley Museum threw a circus-themed party. July 9, from noon to 3 p.m., visitors to the museum enjoyed circus concessions, face- painting, balloon animals and circus films.

For more information, please call the Temecula Valley Museum at (951) 694-6450, or email historymuseum@cityoftemecula.org.

The exhibition is toured by Exhib-

itsUSA, a national program of MidAmerica Arts Alliance. ExhibitsUSA sends more than 25 exhibitions on tour to more than 100 small- and mid-sized communities every year.

Mid-America is the oldest nonprofit regional arts organization in the United States. More information is available at www.maaa.org and www.eusa.org.

The Temecula Valley Museum in Sam Hicks Monument Park is located at 28314 Mercedes Street, one block east of Front Street in Old Town Temecula. Visit the museum Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Temecula Valley Museum and Temecula Valley Historical Society to co-host presentation TEMECULA – The Temecula Valley Museum and the Temecula Valley Historical Society will co-host a presentation by Captain Robert S. Wells (ret.) titled “Voices from the South China Sea,” July 25. The program will begin at 6 p.m. in the conference room at the Temecula Civic Center.

Captain Wells retired following a distinguished 30-year career with the U.S. Navy. Wells later served in the White House under both the Clinton and Bush administrations.

It was during this period that Wells uncovered the story of a maritime

disaster that occurred in 1874 in the South China Sea. The disaster took place during the 1870s when thousands of Chinese emigrants were coming to America to work in mines, on railroads and as farmworkers. At midnight December 17, 1874, fire broke out onboard the steamship S.S. Japan and quickly enveloped the all wooden ship just hours before its scheduled arrival in Hong Kong where more than 400 Chinese workers were to be reunited with their families. The S.S. Japan was one of four large side-wheel

steamers commissioned by President Abraham Lincoln as part of his plan to expand trade with China. The ship was on its 25th voyage from San Francisco to Hong Kong with a total of 537 souls on board, including 128 crew members and 423 Chinese passengers when disaster struck.

Once fire broke out, the ship quickly burned to the waterline, broke in two and sank to the bottom. The fire cut off access to lifeboats.

Many of the Chinese nationals drowned when they were forced to jump into the sea and were dragged

down by the weight of their money belts, which were filled with gold coin earned during years spent laboring in America. A salvage effort was launched in 1875 which resulted in the recovery of $360,000 in newly minted U.S. trade dollars.

The ship’s safe, the private savings of passengers and an untold number of cargo chests remain unrecovered to this day.

Copies of Wells’ book, “Voices from the Bottom of the South China Sea” will be available for sale at the end of his presentation. There will be no charge for admission to this event.

An evening social with refreshments will begin at 5:30 p.m.

For more information, please call the Temecula Valley Museum at (951) 694-6450.

Don’t miss the remaining Ramona Bowl Summer Concert HEMET – There is still one remaining concert in the Ramona Bowl Summer Concerts series July 28 when the songs of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons will be performed by the tribute band December ’63.

Cost of the concert is only $10 and it begins at 8 p.m., with gates opening at 7 p.m. At the recent ABBA FAB concert July 14, the crowd had an amazing time, dancing to all of ABBA’s hits and taking fun selfies with the performers. The night was cool with a light breeze and the crowd was singing and waving with the performers. The people on the dance floor ranged from senior citizens to children, from couples to groups doing line dances.

Tickets for the final concert will be available at the door and the concession stand has delicious options for dinner or a late snack. Sit back with a beer or a glass of wine and enjoy fabulous music under the stars.

The final concert is the Franki Valli tribute. The music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons comes to life in this one-of-a-kind concert experience. December ’63 showcases all your favorite songs from Frankie Valli, including the classics that have been thrilling audiences for decades, along with the most popular singles

from the Broadway blockbuster musical, The Jersey Boys. This recreation of a Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons concert will have you reaching for the high notes as our cast and band take you on musical journey with stops at every phase of the careers of Frankie and the boys.

In 1962, the group released their first album, featuring the single “Sherry,” which was not only their first charted hit but also their first number-one song. The Four Seasons followed up “Sherry” with several million selling hits, including “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” (their second #1 hit), “Walk Like A Man,” (their third #1), “Candy Girl” and several others. From 1962 to early 1964, only The Beach Boys matched the Four Seasons in record sales in the U.S. The Four Seasons were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and joined the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1999. They are one of the best selling groups of all time having sold 175 million records worldwide.

Come out and enjoy a night of timeless classics!

Tickets are available at the door or you can pre order. Check out Ramonabowl.com or call (951) 6583111 for more information.

Wine CountryTemecula A Murder Mystery event at Mount Palomar Winery makes for a great night out

Bartenders were on hand to serve visiting “billionaires” libations.

Butler Philip greets guests at their tables, reminding them the auction is to raise funds for the children of Beverly Hills, adjacent.

Andrea Verdin STAFF WRITER

Only at Mount Palomar can a murder be the cause for a fantastic night out. Guests of the Temecula winery were able to enjoy an intriguing night of mystery and oldfashioned campy fun with a murder mystery, performed and directed

by Dainty Dames Events July 15.

Murder Without a Clue is unlike most murder mystery comedy shows that guests might have gone to. For one, with a setting like Mount Palomar’s barrel room, the night’s setting was perfect for the supposed auction gala set by Colonel Grady Pupon, benefiting the children of Beverly Hills “adjacent” suffering from affluenza.

Guests must assume the identity of billionaire supporting their friend’s cause. Once seated, they

were given a three-course meal that was punctuated with the performance. The actual show requires a lot of guest interaction – in order to find out who committed the murder, guests must solve riddles, engage in games and give their predictions.

Think of it as a grander, funnier game of Clue, if need be. This is not an event for one who wants to sit passively and not share an opinion, song or riddle along the way. This is more for those looking for an evening to dress up, have a fabulous meal, and laugh along with others looking for a great time.

The maid greeted and seated guests, while Philip Lads, the butler served with his charms. The starlet Miss Rouge Le Dodo was over the top in all the best ways and of course, there were many more elements that made this night a fun one. What truly kept guests laugh-

ing was the actors’ ability to riff off the guests’ antics throughout the night. Puns, jokes and even a limerick or two kept guests chuckling in the midst of the murder mystery.

The meal was wonderfully prepared by Annata Bistro and Bar, and guests were handed a glass of Champagne as they entered the barrel room. In between courses, guests were required to literally hunt for their clues around the barrel room and interrogate the suspects to figure out exactly what happened. It might not be an easy task, but the evening quickly slipped by as folks pantomimed the events back to each other, and tried to piece together the events leading up to the murder.

Even though this event is past, the opportunity to participate in a Murder Mystery show is not.

Another show has been added for

Guests interrogate each suspect as table teams in order to figure out who the murderer is.

July wine and food pairings, hot nights and cool wines

Gershon Bachus winemaker Dakota Denton.

Laurie Adams WINE COLUMNIST

To paraphrase George Gershwin, “Summertime and the wine pairings are easy,” in the Temecula Valley.

With warmer weather leading to lighter dining preferences, one need look no further than Temecula’s wineries for the perfect libation.

Gershon Bachus Vintners (named for owner Ken Falik’s Russian born grandfather), located at 37750 De Portola Road in Temecula, is one of the few wineries in the valley to offer a unique seated tasting experience. I met with Christina Falik (who owns the winery with her husband, Ken) and Dakota Denton, head winemaker, to discuss summer wine pairings. Their award winning 2010 Estate Grown Grenache has a nice nose of cherry and chocolate and pairs nicely with pork or poultry.

The Grenache is a “go to summer wine,” served slightly chilled. The Villa Vino Blanco, a white blend of chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Viognier, will complement a mouthwatering bowl of steamed mussels with garlic toast. It is also wonderful with rock fish, salmon, chicken or linguine with clams. And Christina likes it with one of her summertime favorites, crab stuffed portabello mushrooms on the grill.

To accompany barbecued chicken, both in your sauce and in your glass, Gershon Bachus’ Villa Vino Tutto Rosso, a medium bodied red table wine, is a fine choice. For that iconic sweet summer treat, ice cream, Gershon Bachus’ 2009 Fides Zinfandel Dessert Wine is the perfect accompaniment. It is bold and fruity with a smooth finish. For more information, visit www.gershonbachus.com or visit the winery.

One of the valley’s newest additions, Avensole Winery, offers both a wine tasting experience as well as a full service restaurant. I spoke with owner Shel Lytton who told me about his approach to wine.

“I start with what I like. New world, California style, rounder and softer,” Lytton said.

One of Lytton’s favorite summer wines is Avensole’s “Melody Twins,” a cool, crisp white blend of gewurztraminer, pinot grigio and muscat canelli. The wine is named for his two granddaughters who are both musicians. This wine will pair well with beet salad, while the Tessa (pinot grigio) marries beautifully with the oysters au natural on Avensole’s menu.

The charcuterie board for two provides a cool dinner alternative on a warm evening paired with either the South Slope Cab or Syrah. To end your meal, Lytton recommends the hummingbird cake (a staple in the south, pineapple and banana cake with cream cheese frosting and toasted pecans) paired with a white wine. Avensole is located at 34567 Rancho California Road in Temecula.

Lorimar Vineyards and Winery is located at 39990 Anza Road in Temecula and offers wine tastings, live music Friday, Saturday and Sunday, an art gallery and a food truck aptly named “Pairings.” I met with Mark Manfield, who owns the winery with his brother-in-law Lawrie Lipton, and winemaker Stuart Marshall to learn more about their offerings. Some of their favorite summer wines are the Field Blend, a combination of chardonnay, viognier, roussanne, muscat canelli and grenache blanc; the 2015 Viognier; and the sauvignon blanc. For a light summer meal such as ceviche (citrus marinated raw seafood or fish), Marshall recommends their new Grenache Sparkling with wonderfully acidic grapefruit notes.

Another favorite seafood entree in warmer weather is rare ahi tuna (one of my all time favorites) and Lorimar’s chardonnay, which sells out regularly, fits the bill to stand up to this meaty and delicious fish.

When the outdoor grill is calling your name to cook up some red meat, such as a ribeye steak, their Cabernet Franc or Malbec will fill the bill to complement those big beefy flavors.

And if something on the lighter side is your preference, the pear & apple

salad from the Pairings food truck pairs beautifully with the chardonnay, especially when grilled salmon is added to the mix. To complement any summer dessert, Lorimar offers two sparkling wines and a robust port.

Cougar Vineyards Winery in the valley offers a unique white, Falaghina (a varietal from Italy), for an awesome warm weather go-to wine. The Falanghina is a wellbalanced, dry, white wine with crisp acidity and hints of melon, perfect for the classic appetizer melon wrapped proscitto. Cougar also offers a Vermentino wine to go with grilled items such as a veggie pizza or chicken tacos. For grilling red meat, owner Rick Buffington recommends their Montepulciano or Aglianico.

Cougar’s restaurant, Sangio’s Deli, offers many delectable sandwiches including the Spicy Cougar Cuban sandwich which includes chicken, ham, swiss cheese & pepperoncini’s and mustard, paired with the 2015 Arneis is sublime. And, pair the peach sangria with your ice cream, forget about it! Cougar is located at 39870 De Portola Road in the

Temecula Valley. You can get more information at www.cougarvineyards.com.

And finally we come to Bella Vista, one of the oldest wineries in the valley. Sheri Renalde, wine club manager for this winery, was kind enough to impart her expertise on food and wine pairings. For a light warm weather drinking wine, Renalde recommends their 2007 White Cabernet, a refreshing white bursting with cherry undertones and “in all honesty the reason I started working here” according to Renalde.

I asked Renalde, “What wine

would you pair with a main course salad featuring a light protein such as chicken or fish?”

“It used to be proper to pair white wines with light proteins and darker reds with pork or beef, but we have several wines on both ends of the spectrum that would pair nicely,” Renalde said. “It’s going to depend on your palate and taste. We have an award winning 2011 Tempranillo that has light tannins with a smooth finish. (That wine won the silver for that wine in 2014 San Francisco International Wine Competition.) I also think if you are a white wine fan,

the 2013 sauvignon blanc if you have a drier palate or the 2013 Dry Rozmaring if you want a fruit forward wine with low acidity.” I also asked Renalde if there was a wine that pairs well with one of summer’s favorite treats, ice cream. She replied, “YES! Another one of our award winning dessert wines, 2005 Late Harvest Petite Sirah. This poured over the ice cream is equally delicious!”

So as you may well conclude, the Temecula Valley offers a vast variety of wines to pair with fabulous summer meals and desserts. Cheers!

Dining in the Valley Hemet welcomes the ‘new generation’ Sizzler to the community

The new Sizzler in Hemet, located at 4762 W. Florida Avenue welcomes families with its extensive menu selection to please everyone. An outdoor barbecue, fired up every morning, tantalizes everyone passing by with the smell of cooked to perfection Tri Tip beef.

Diners Jose and Gloria Banegas delight in watching their son Jose Jr. down one of the children’s pizza plates offered at the Hemet Sizzler. The family just moved from West Covina to Hemet and were especially pleased to find the new Sizzler that has become their favorite eating place.

Greeting diners with a smile to the new generation Hemet Sizzler is General Manager Isaac Perez who delights in explaining the new menus and offerings at the 8,000 square foot class A family restaurant. A large variety of steak and seafood plates, a huge salad bar and other improvements can be seen and enjoyed at Tony Ault photos the new location.

When diners enter the new Hemet Sizzler they read the extensive menu and pass a display case showing cuts the quality of the Angus Certified steaks and fresh vegetables served at the family restaurant. Here, General Manager Isaac Perez inspects the meats in the case.

Tony Ault Writer

“Our goal is to be the best family restaurant in Hemet,” says the new Hemet Sizzler Manager Isaac Perez.

The newest Hemet restaurant located at 4762 W. Florida Ave. is well on its way to becoming just that.

Sizzler Restaurant is a longtime casual restaurant chain known for it steak, seafood and salad bar and at one time had two locations in Hemet, one at Lyon and Florida Avenue and the other at Santa Fe and Florida. The “new generation” family restaurant in West Hemet is owned and operated by BMW Management. BMW is headquartered in Temecula. Gary and Sally Myers and two partners own and operate 21 other Sizzlers from Sacramento to San Diego. Sally Myers echoed the goal, “we want the Hemet Sizzler to be peoples' kitchen away from home.”

Just this month the Hemet Sizzler was named the 2016 Hemet/ San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce Restaurant of the Year about a year after moving from the Florida, Santa Fe Street location. In that year, the restaurant has continued and continues to receive rave reviews

The servers and managers of the new Hemet Sizzler like General Manager Isaac Perez and server Mary Bell want to make sure that customers know they “Pledge allegiance to flavor,” everyday.

Now popular draft beer and fine wines are offered at the new Hemet Sizzler. Server Mealea Yin readies a cold draft beer for a diner at the restaurant.

in the California social media for everything from service to its food.

She noted the local store’s success is because of the people in the Hemet San Jacinto Valley who welcomed the Sizzler family “with open and enthusiastic arms. We have been blessed by this Hemet community.”

In addition to its familiar and delicious steaks, seafood and salad bar Hemet residents have grown to love, the new Sizzler added the first

ever salad Mixing Station that lets customers select their own salads then come over to the mixing station attendant who will take their salad, add some other special items to it as desired, mix it up in a fresh bowl and then return it.

There are extra items at the station a diner may wish to add to his or her salad including sun-dried tomatoes, Cerignola olives and Feta cheese to mention a few.

“The mixing bar was just in the testing stage when we first heard about it,” Sally Meyers said. “But, we decided to put in a whole bar in our Hemet restaurant. It’s a first for us,” said Perez.

Other special items at the salad bar, include chicken wings, taco shells, macaroni and cheese, refried beans, sour cream, cheddar cheese and many other items one might add to a tasty salad.

Another first for the new Hemet Sizzler is an outdoor barbecue that every morning fills the parking lots in the Winco shopping plaza with the taste tantalizing smell of sizzling

certified Angus Tri Tip beef cooked to perfection. For the hot and thirsty customers, the new Sizzler offers a selection of draft beers. Choice wines are also available to top off their tender Angus steaks, lobster and shrimp platters.

If you order a steak cooked to your particular taste, the server will bring it to you, slice it with your permission, to see if it meets your satisfaction.

“We check to see if your steak is done just the way you like it,” Perez relates. Hemet Sizzlers’ lead cook, Juan Quintana is very familiar with the tastes of the restaurants regular customers have been at the Santa Fe and new Hemet location for the past 22 years. His steak and seafood cooking skills are unsurpassed and demands the same from all

his cooks.

The most popular steak is the and new Santa Maria style TriTip served with corn, zucchini and roasted red potatoes for only $11.99. Diners have a large selection of steak and combined steak and seafood plates including steak and lobster for 21.99. Steaks can be ordered in 6, 8, 12 and 14 ounces, depending on the appetite. Every steak is Angus Certified. The menu is filled with many delicious combination plates including special plates for children and seniors. The salad bar with soup can be ordered by itself, enough to fill every appetite and still keep the calories down.

The servers ascribe to the Hemet Sizzlers motto, “We pledge allegiance to the flavor,” as seen on the back of their uniforms. Customers are always greeted with a smile and regular visits at their tables. It is not uncommon to see customers and servers engaged in almost “family like conversations.” That is not hard for most of the Hemet Sizzler’s servers who have been employed at the Hemet Sizzlers for many years. Helping Perez out with the restaurant’s added staff are his two assistant managers Michelle Marquez and Nelly Franco.

The Myers family and many of the area BMW owned Sizzler restaurants sponsor the Student of Month program that honors some of the top High School students in the cities, not only for their high academic standards but their special achievements in their schools and local communities. The outstanding Students of the Month from the five local high schools are selected by their teachers. Along with the honor comes some scholarships and other prizes provided by local businesses for the Students of the Year. The Sizzler also sponsors a similar program called the ROC, Recognition of Outstanding Character, for middle and elementary school students.

Myers said all new employees hired by BMW’s Sizzlers are placed in a training program. “We hire the best staff in the local community,” Myers said. “It is all about people who care.” There are 1,400 Sizzler employees spread across California all with ties to their local communities. “We are happy they stay with us a long time,” Meyers said.

For a wonderful family evening out with a delicious meal in Hemet and San Jacinto Valley the new Sizzler can’t be beat. The restaurant also offers a meeting room for 85 to 100 guests and hosts the Student of the Month program and civic organizations. For information and reservations call the Hemet Sizzler at (951) 658-2428.

The new Hemet Sizzler is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Family law update; Vocational expert services, vocational evaluations, their role in family law and imputation of income

Morton J. Grabel, Esq. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Family law is always premised on what is in the best interest of the child, without exception. The law requires both parents to share their individual income with their dependent children, during divorce proceedings and even upon divorce.

But what happens when the primary

income earner during the marriage all of the sudden begins earning less during divorce proceedings; or the other spouse says they can’t find more work although they really could work more if required? This article explains the concept of imputation of income in cases where a party voluntarily shifts careers to a lower paid position, or begins working less, or could work more and chooses not to, or otherwise whose income dramatically drops for the specific purpose of avoiding higher support payments.

Imputed income is attributed or credited to a parent even though the parent is not actually earning that amount. Pursuant to Ca. Fam. Code § 4058(b), “the Court may, in its discretion, consider the earning capacity of a parent in lieu of the parent’s income, consistent with what is in the best interests of the children.

The reason for this legislation is an understandable one: to prevent par-

ties from voluntarily reducing their earning capacity in order to avoid a higher paying child support.

In these cases, the Court will use three factors to determine the imputed income, the ability to work, opportunity to work and willingness to work.

The ability to work is generally determined by looking at a parent’s educational level, work skills and employment history. Opportunity to work is determined by looking at the local job market. Willingness to work is determined by looking at the parent’s behavior. If a parent wants to challenge the determination of the imputed income, the parent will need to supply proof. This is where vocational evaluations come in.

A vocational evaluation is conducted by a Certified Career Counselor. A party may seek out the help of one of these experts and present to the court the assessment as evidence of

the party’s voluntary “underemployment.” The process usually begins with an interview seeking out the party’s relevant information affecting employability. The counselor will then conduct a labor market analysis reflecting the job opportunities given the qualifications of the party within the appropriate geographical area.

The hard, professional evidence can help persuade an undecided or uncertain judge. For instance, in re Marriage of Barth (2012) 210 Cal. App. 4th, the court held that income was properly imputed to a parent who was not unemployed as claimed but rather was self-employed and was either substantially understating income or was purposefully underemployed. In that case, a counselor offered uncontroverted evidence that the parent had the ability and opportunity to work and to earn $120,000 to $150,000 per year based on age, education and work experience.

In conclusion, hiring a Certified Career counselor can be expensive but certainly worth retaining their services and expertise to highlight the evasiveness, lazy or indifferent spouse when looking at the entire picture.

More than 155 Kiddie Academy locations in 24 states serve over 19,000 children and their families nationwide. According to Peterson, obtaining quality, education-based child care, especially for children under age five, is a major priority

for parents, particularly with the rise in families with two working parents. At the conference, Kiddie Academy hosted roundtable discussions to give attendees a better understanding of the size, scope and demand within the $53 billion child care industry, as well as the impact Kiddie Academy owners have on local communities in helping young children grow, learn and prepare for school and for life.

Kiddie Academy, founded in 1981, began with an idea to combine

learning with child care and a commitment to be a leader in the industry. Kiddie Academy has developed a comprehensive education-based child care program for its academies. Each location utilizes the Kiddie Academy Life Essentials® curriculum, which promotes each child’s intellectual, social, physical and emotional growth.

Five ways to buy a home with imperfect credit Nancy Schrimpf Coldwell Banker Village Properties SPECIAL TO THE VILLAGE NEWS

FALLBROOK – Maybe the Great Recession left you with more than unpleasant memories. Maybe you have a short sale or a foreclosure in your recent past, have tarnished credit or are a first-time buyer struggling to come up with a 20 percent down payment. Although these conditions make buying a home more complicated, they do not necessarily make home ownership impossible.

Consider these five ways to buy a home even if you have some skeletons in your credit closet.

No. 1 – Check into government sponsored loan options such as USDA, Federal Housing Administration or Veterans Affairs loans. If you are a first time buyer and there is just no way you are going to be able to come up with 20 percent down, don’t despair. There are several options that will allow you to buy with a small down payment or no down payment at all.

If you’ve served your country, you most likely qualify for a Veterans Affairs loan, which can mean home ownership with no money down. If

Courtesy photo

you are looking at buying in a rural area, such as Fallbrook or Bonsall, you may be entitled to a USDA loan which encourages homeowners to buy in rural areas by offering up to 100 percent financing.

If you are a first time homeowner, you may be able to tap into an FHA loan for as little as 3 percent down.

Be sure and discuss all these possibilities with your lender, which very conveniently brings us to the next point.

No. 2 – Talk to an honorable,

experienced lender who can best address your specific needs. No Realtor is good at everything. I will never, ever, ever be the right agent for you if you are selling a home in Alaska. No lender is good at everything, either, but odds are your Realtor can point you to the lender that is best for you.

Are you super busy and stressed and need someone to handle all the chaos and drama of a home loan while you focus on making the income that you will need to pay off that loan? I have a lender for that.

Do you need some truly creative problem-solving to help you through an unusual home-buying situation that is more square peg-round hole than many banks like? I have a lender for that as well. I’m sure your Realtor does also.

No. 3 – Seek out sellers who will carry. This isn’t about sellers hauling your stuff, although that would be nice, too. This is about sellers who can and will finance some or most of the purchase price on a home so you needn’t apply for a traditional mortgage.

Right now there are at least three homes for sale in my area that have a ‘Seller will carry’ option. One of those listings is mine and my seller’s exact words were this, “I don’t want money problems to keep someone who needs this home from buying this home.”

Are you self-employed or newlyemployed? Do you have 20-25 percent to put down but not enough income history to qualify for a loan?

Look for a seller who will carry.

No. 4 – Have explanations for the hard times that hit. If you had a documented job loss, divorce, medical emergency or a death in the family, you may be eligible to buy a

home again despite a relatively recent short-sale or foreclosure.

Lenders look much more favorably on someone who lost a home due to tragedy than they do on people who default for other reasons. Bring any and all documentation that proves your credit skeleton was caused by an unavoidable event, not a lifestyle of living beyond your mean, to your lender and see what he or she can do for you.

No. 5 – Manage your expectations.

If you are just getting into the real estate market, or getting into the real estate market again, remember the old baseball adage ‘a walk is as good as a hit.’ You probably won’t experience the real estate equivalent of shattering the field lights with a game winning grand slam on your first at bat, so make peace with that reality.

Instead, aim to find a home that is likely to appreciate and let your next home (or the home after that) be the one that makes your toes tingle.

Home plate may still be several swings away, but you’ll be closer than you were before you started.

Riverside County Assessor announces record-breaking assessment roll after four straight years of increase Increased values for commercial, industrial properties and vacant properties also increased roll values. Other contributing factors include restoring the value of properties temporarily reduced under Prop 8, and new construction.

“At the lowest point, values dropped for more than 337,000 single-family properties because the real estate market declined,” Aldana said. “As the market has steadily increased, 120,000 properties remain in this reduced status.”

Under California’s Prop 8, assessed values should be lowered temporarily if recession or other factors reduce a property’s value below its Prop 13 value on January 1 of each year. As economic recovery increases market value, valuations previously lowered because of Prop 8 must be increased to match the subsequent upswing.

In those cases, property-tax increases are allowed to exceed the standard 2 percent annual cap set

by Proposition 13.

RIVERSIDE – Riverside County’s property assessment roll has eclipsed the previous record set in 2008, reaching a value of $255 billion, which is 5 percent more than last year’s total, Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder Peter Aldana announced last week.

“This is the fourth consecutive year of growth and we have exceeded our previous peak of $242.9 billion in 2008,” Aldana said. Total valuation last year was $242.7 billion.

Since 2012, the assessment roll has increased nearly 25 percent, from $204 billion to $255 billion for 2016-17. Property taxes generated by the roll pay for critical services provided by the county, cities, K-12 schools, community college districts and special districts.

Between December 2014 and December 2015, median home-sale prices increased 8.3 percent, from $295,000 to $320,000 according to statistics from CoreLogic, a real estate information services firm.

This year’s Prop 13 annual inflation cap, as determined by the California Consumer Price Index, is 1.525 percent. For property owners whose assessments were not reduced because of Prop 8, assessed values will increase by this inflation factor.

Despite the roll’s increase, many properties remain well below peak values and changes in the realestate market can affect subsequent assessed values. Aldana said his office continues to review individual properties for potential changes in value, which can affect property taxes. The review is a critical process in completing the assessment roll. Property owners whose assessments increase under Prop 8 will receive a notice from Aldana in their regular 2016-17 tax bills, which will be sent in October by Treasurer-Tax Collector Don Kent.

Beginning in mid-July, Riverside County property owners will be able to view their 2016-17 roll value online at www.riversideacr.

may file an appeal with the Riverside County Clerk of the Board until Nov. 30. An application to appeal a changed assessment is available on the Clerk of the Board’s website at www.rivcocob.org.

Shades of summer gives inspiration

The popularity of the color white fresh bouquet of white flowers to add instant appeal. Living Room Use white as a base color for living room spaces so you can build on it with other hues on pillows and draperies, mixing and matching however you see fit.

Homeowners who have children and/or pets should look for furniture with removable slipcovers.

This way they’re easily removed and laundered. Bathroom White bathrooms look fresh and are easy to clean and maintain. White tiles provide a classic look. Include colored bath mats, towels and shower curtains to break up the white as you see fit. A neutral white base makes it easy to switch out color schemes whenever you feel like it. Bedroom Feminine and fresh, white bedrooms may not be the first choice for novice designers. If the prospect of white on white seems too sterile, offset deeper hues on bed linens and walls with white furniture. This provides some pop against the darker contrast.

Keep in mind that doing a bed up in all white means it will always be easy to find matching sheets and pillowcases, making it possible to ensure everything looks cohesive and crisp. Outdoors Use white paint on trims, shutters, mailboxes, and more to provide that pop of contrast against the rest of the home. White complements just about every color, making it a versatile choice on a home’s accents regardless of the main exterior color of that home.

White and other light shades will reflect the sun as well, contributing to cooler temperatures on walkways, decks and other structures, which can be advantageous to homeowners who live in warm climates.

Is it any wonder that white continues to be a classic and popular color to use around the home?

Whether you do so with monochromatic roomscapes or accent pieces, you can incorporate white into design plans throughout your home.

TEMECULA – White is a versatile color in home decorating and renovation. White helps any space look effortlessly chic, blends well with just about any color and can be incorporated into various design styles Ñ from modern to traditional.

While the color white is always trendy, the paint manufacturers Benjamin Moore chose white (Simply White OC-117) as their “it” color for 2016. White can be used nearly anywhere inside and outside the home. Improving interior and exterior spaces with white elements is easier than you might think, and it instantly can make anything look as good as new.

The essence of summertime provides inspiration for people to experiment with new colors, trends and ideas – especially when it comes to painting. When deciding which color scheme to go with, some may think that the warmer temperatures and constant sunshine would influence an influx of warmer colors being purchased, but this is far from true. Light, breezy colors such as blues, greens and grays have been in much higher demand this year.

Renowned Beverly Hills Architect and luxury design expert Richardson Robertson III offered, “I have found it interesting that the guestrooms at the Ritz Hotel in Paris have different color schemes depending on their sun exposure.

The guest rooms that face the south, and thus have the most sun exposure, are painted a cool pale bluish-gray, while the north-facing rooms, which arguably would be a bit dreary in the winter with no sun exposure, are painted a yellowish champagne color. That color scheme has endured to this day from the founding of the Ritz Hotel over a hundred years ago in 1898.”

Mike Shaffer, an expert painter from Five Star Painting Temecula,

when choosing exterior paint is the fact that most home exterior textures in the Temecula Valley area are stucco. Shaffer says it is important to “mimic what stucco is, which is really low sheen and flat. The problem with an eggshell or satin finish is that it starts making the house look plasticy.”

For exterior painting, hiring a professional in colder seasons may be optimal. Shaffer explained, “Product goes on much better when it is not as hot. In Fall and late Winter, you can get your project done much quicker.” Plus, painting professionals are not as busy in the later months as they are as of now.

Also, modern advancements with paint formulas have made it possible for paints to endure through colder temperatures as they cure.

Similar to how people sport their individual fashion sense, choosing a color that suits one’s personality is important when it comes to painting projects. One may not be wearing it per se, but they will be surrounded by this color as if their home is a work of art. When one makes these creative decisions this summer and in the future, they should realize that they are doing much more than painting; they are ultimately creating their very own masterpiece.

Winchester Rd.

also offered his expertise and little known facts when it comes to painting. Shaffer has noticed the popularity of cool contemporary colors this summer first-hand, saying, “5 out of 10 [interiors of] homes I’ve been painting are gray.” He recommends choosing lighter tones, like gray, over darker ones because of their longer lifespan, of by about 30 percent.

Other painting enthusiasts have taken the modern, contemporary color trend and used it to create bright pops of color. Vivid oranges, yellows and blues are sure to brighten up any room and transform it into a statement piece to be proud of. With such colors, the summer sun may even have trouble competing with their radiance.

As far as current trends go for the interiors of homes, Shaffer has received many requests for stripes and accented walls. He warns homeowners to be modest with their accents because he believes they can be easily overused since, “Accent is what draws your attention in the room; it is not supposed to be the focal point.”

When it comes to the exteriors of homes, homeowners have been going with more dramatic deeper, darker tones to contrast with all of the light hues that await inside. An important thing for one to consider

What is your home worth? How do you know? price. Local market knowledge and common sense, these are the attributes that truly make the difference. Let me emphasize how critical it is during the interview process to pay attention to what is said.

John Occhi & Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Today’s Temecula homeowner wants to make certain that they know the true value of their home before they put it on the market and sell it. The last thing any home seller ever wants to do is leave money on the table. The uncertainty and ambiguity of the process can be daunting as well as frustrating often leaving the home seller with anxiety about their ultimate decision.

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

Everyone has been preached to, for years, to interview at least three real estate agents before making a decision. Sure, today many top agents have the latest portable electronic gadgetry that can wow the heck out of you and impress you with a wonderful marketing plan that is sure to bring prospective buyers to your home, but is that enough? What good is 100 buyers touring your home during a weekend if it’s priced below fair market value?

When interviewing an agent, pay more attention to what the agent says and not what he shows.

Those gadgets of real estate wizardry can all be purchased for a

Comparative market analysis (CMA) Regardless of how it’s delivered, the most common method of determining the value of a home, is by preparing a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. This is nothing like a detailed report that looks at the recent past and present market conditions of similar properties to determine a value. Again, be aware that some agents purchase some pretty extraordinary software packages that polish all the bells and fine tune the whistles.

The question remains, “What does the agent really know?”

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

Believe it or not, it happens all the time.

Every good CMA will include similar homes that have recently sold, ideally in the last three months but never more than a year; homes that are pending, under contract but have not yet closed escrow; and active listing, similar homes that are currently competing with yours for today’s buyers. A thorough CMA will also include similar homes that have been on the market but have been taken off either as an expired listing or perhaps it was canceled by the homeowner. Each of these categories of homes tells a story

about the current market conditions. Let your prospective agent explain the story to determine if they really know what they are talking about.

The basics Basic data are relevant to all homes for sale or sold. It’s the starting point of assessing property value in any market. Some of the basics that can sway the value of a home for sale include: • Bedroom count • Bathroom count • Square footage • Garage – Number of stalls?

Attached or detached?

Direct access?

• Year home was built • Overall condition • Lot size and condition • Amenities • Location • Neighborhood Us verses them Skills the best real estate agents bring to the table will be interpreting the data and being able to determine the value of each adjustment in order to determine what your home is actually worth on the date the CMA is prepared.

Skilled real estate agents will know what value a fourth bedroom has over a third bedroom home.

Is a 3-car tandem garage worth the same as a 3-car side-by-side garage? If not, what adjustment should be made, in your neighborhood? If the kitchen has had a major remodel with new cabinets, granite counter tops and high end stainless steel appliances will that add value to the home or just attract more buyers? Is a model match home worth the same as yours if it’s at the end of a cul-de-

THINK LIKE A MARKETER, EXECUTE LIKE A PUBLISHER. Engagement is a process. Once you have published your content, you need to promote it.

This is where your network comes into play. If you don’t have a lot of Twitter followers, LinkedIn connections, or Facebook friends, it will be difficult to get a lot of visibility for your published content.

Socializing your posts involves reaching out to your available touchpoints. Expand your current connections by following others and connecting to relevant groups. Promote your post through email blasts and personal emails. Ask your friends and family to curate your posts to their networks of contacts. Ask them to comment and share the post. If your content is interesting enough, their contacts will then begin to share it, beginning a viral movement.

sac and yours backs to a major thoroughfare?

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

Is your listing ‘For Sale?’

Unfortunately, in today’s competitive market many agents believe they can buy your listing by suggesting a top dollar list price to get the listing, thinking they will later come back for a price reduction. They’ll do this because either they just don’t know any better or because they want to appease the home seller who believes their home is better than the neighbors who just sold.

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

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

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