A seminal figure in Temecula’s push to become the city it is today was praised and remembered at his memorial service last week.

Twenty speakers – including all five Temecula council members, a past and a current city manager and a Riverside County supervisor – took turns saluting a humble man

who helped shape his community and was known to everybody simply as “Jimmy.”

Jimmy Moore, 81, was lauded by the string of speakers for his love, kindness, compassion, community pride, patriotism, poise and purpose.

Lake Elsinore Mayor Brian Tisdale announced last week that he was resuming his duties on the Dias following a nearly two-month long leave of absence.

“Effectively immediately, I have resumed my official duties as the Mayor of the City of Lake Elsinore,” Tisdale wrote in a press release. “I would like to thank my colleagues, the community and many others for their generous support and prayers during my leave of absence and during this extremely difficult time for me and my family.”

Tisdale announced he was taking the time off to deal with family issues earlier this summer, following his arrest June 20, on suspicion of battery on a former companion and vandalism, both misdemeanors.

The case is still open, with Tisdale’s next court appearance, a case status conference, scheduled for Feb. 20.

Tisdale wrote that he was arrested in his home on a social media post June 22, confirming that Riverside County Sheriff’s deputies took him into custody at his home in Lake Elsinore “due to a dispute” between his wife and himself.

Local Hero celebrates 90th birthday in true 40s fashion Jacob Preal JPREAL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

He is about to turn 90 years old but that does not mean that he is too old for a beer at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post every Wednesday after church. Local World War II veteran August “Augie” Liberino is the oldest member of Temecula’s VFW Post 4089. The organization has long thrived from his enduring wisdom and guidance. A living icon in the post, as well as in the City of Temecula, Augie is loved and admired by all that he has come to know, according to Post Commander John Hernandez. The Post would like to extend their appreciation for their hero in the form of a 90th birthday celebration that will be open to the community Oct. 7.

Augie began his service to his country at the age of 17 and was commissioned on the U.S.S Wheatland 85 at the 35th Pier in Brooklyn, New York. He was a Seaman First Class posted as a gunner.

During his years of service, Augie traveled 48,453 nautical miles, visiting several countries and islands in the South Pacific. He received an honorable discharge March 20, 1946.

Since then, Augie has lived in California, becoming active in Brea’s VFW Post 5384 in 1986 and then Temecula’s Post 4089 in 1989.

He has served in many positions for the Temecula post, including chaplain, Jr. Vice and Sr. Vice. Augie has also served two terms as Post Commander. Still active in the local post, he holds his membership very dear to him, as he attends monthly meetings and often visits two to three times a week to socialize with

his comrades.

His party will have a roarin’ 40s era theme, to match with what Augie would have returned to after his service abroad. While no official schedule of events has been released, the Post plans to incorporate various singers and dancers and hopefully will include city and county officials. Maggie Hernandez, wife of Post Commander Hernandez, also active with the Temecula V.F.W. Post, is using social media avenues to raise support for Augie’s birthday celebration.

“The response has been very overwhelming,” she said. “I already got people to donate a cake, I got local veteran families, they’re going to secure the entertainment. It just shows what our community is about: coming together.”

The organization has recently found itself pitted against a generation gap of veterans that fought in World War II and those that served in the war in Iraq. Veterans from older generations within the community are dying, which will cause members of V.F.W. to dwindle should newer veterans not join.

In response, V.F.W. Post 4089 has implemented several family oriented community activities that encourages younger membership.

This includes weekly Friday night barbecues that encourage veterans to bring their wife and children and some occasional movie nights. The program has rented game trailers during events in order to appeal to children of the next generation of veterans and hosted chess tournaments for members of local JROTC programs. The group would like have both Boy and Girl Scouts involved as well.

If recruitment is to be considered a challenge faced by VFW Post 4089, then its post commander believes that they are exceeding that challenge. The group will be recognized by the county of Riverside for being the top recruiter in the 3rd District and Division 10 for the State of California said Hernandez.

“What’s that mean?” he stated in an email. “We have been successful at bringing in the next generation of veterans.”

Augie’s birthday celebration will continue this community trend by appealing to younger generations by honoring the lives of veterans that city residents admire and hold dear in their hearts.

The Temecula Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4089 is located at 28075 Diaz Road. They are open from 3:30- 8 p.m. daily. For more information about Augie’s party and other post-related activity, they can be reached by calling (951) 676-1541, or through their website: www.temeculavalleyvfw.com.

Rancho Community Church throws a baby shower Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Rancho Community Church hosted their Fourth Annual Birth Choice Baby Shower Aug. 6. With the expected 100 guests attending, the event was packed with all supporting the cause. Opening their doors around 9:30 a.m., the event picked up traffic as mothers to be and their guests arrived. The church hosted the event on behalf of Birth Choice – a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping expecting mothers keep their baby. The organization gives financial assistance and support to mothers who need the help.

“Birth choice is our local resource center for pregnant women: unplanned or unexpected pregnancy,” said Event Coordinator Brittani Ibarra. “Birth choice helps them get through pregnancy and find stability. We throw a giant baby shower for clients at Birth Choice.

They don’t have much support outside, and it affects younger women of 16 to 17 who are not given the support, and every unexpected pregnancy as well.”

Ibarra’s bible study group in Rancho Community Church chose to throw the event as a part of their impact. “This is for moms of all ages. Any age can come. Every bible church chooses a study outside of the church, and as a group we chose to impact mothers.”

Volunteers and staff worked until noon to create a seamless shower.

The entrance fee, an unwrapped baby shower gift, would later be given to the mothers. Beginning with a breakfast donated through

bible study mothers, the guests all sat at their ornately decorated tables. Later on, singers from the church performed to entertain the guests during breakfast.

The social aspect of the event is great as mothers and their guests become acquainted with one another through baby shower games and raffles. Every expectant mother received a raffle present and one large gift. Presents consisted of many essentials including baby clothes, diapers, blankets and the grand prize of a car seat.

The community all participated by donating to the event. Ibarra was astonished by the great care of the city as local businesses all pitched in to help.

“I wanted to make it as big as possible this year. There is more moms and women attending this year. It’s amazing what this community has done. Small businesses have donated, items and gift cards, Richie’s Diner has donated all the fruit. They know how much these women need this support. It’s great to see the community respond when we ask for help. I have not spent a penny out of my pocket.”

Cakerella Creations, managed by Tracey Bishop, donated the deserts and specialized treats for the mothers to be, and local florists and photographers pitched in as well.

The event was the largest in its four years running. Executive Director at Birth Choice of Temecula

Janette Chun wrote, “This baby shower has given our young mothers beyond what they would have ever received. It shows them that there are people that would treat them with care and compassion – with joy for their motherhood and the new life they are bringing into this world.”

Jessi Bertrand performed songs with an accompanying acoustic guitar. The guest speaker, Christine Chappell, described her journey as a mother and the inspiration behind her book “Clean Home, Messy Heart” as it was the theme of the shower.

“We pray all of the mothers in attendance walk away with a renewed sense of purpose and hope; that despite our messiness, we are meant for this calling to motherhood,” she wrote as a synopsis of the publication. The shower gave the expecting mothers many new gifts and support from mothers, friends and the community as a whole.

Local MOORE from page A-1 around Moore’s wife, Peg. It was Peg who was cast in a more visible role as the couple were transformed from a pair of Orange County transplants into key leaders of an emerging, vibrant city.

“They worked so well as a leadership unit,” Councilwoman Maryann Edwards mused during the two-hour gathering Aug. 17 that attracted about 160 people.

The couple’s roles in the community were so pivotal that City Manager Aaron Adams nearly two years ago fondly dubbed the duo “Mr. and Mrs. Temecula.”

Adams and others gathered Aug. 17 to remember the political pioneer whom they called a friend, a mentor and an unwavering ambassador of the city.

“We are what we are as a city in large part because of what Jimmy and Peg did,” Councilman Jeff Comerchero said in his remarks.

The Moores last shared the public limelight in November 2014, which was when officials began to mark the 25th anniversary of Temecula becoming a city.

An overflow crowd – standing room only throughout much of the Civic Center complex – gathered for that celebration.

The nearly two-hour program featured speeches, presentations, photographs and videos that looked back a quarter of a century and then forward into the future.

Peg Moore, one of the keynote speakers, was the lone member of the original City Council to participate. She and Jimmy, who led a 30-member committee that worked for Temecula’s incorporation decades earlier, detailed much of the community’s transition and transformation over the years.

It was then that Adams tagged the couple as being the city’s consummate political tag team.

The Aug. 17 memorial service turned into a recital as to why Adams and other leaders over the years had bestowed such honors on the couple.

Some of the speakers told how Temecula rapidly morphed from a quiet, dusty enclave at a remote corner of Riverside County into a sprawling business, residential and tourism hub.

Several speakers said it was fitting to set a historical framework, especially since Jimmy was a past president of the Temecula Valley Historical Society.

But that leadership role was just one of many played by a man who would occasionally don 1880s garb to stroll down Old Town’s wooden sidewalks as a museum docent and regale listeners with tales of Temecula’s pioneer past.

Jimmy Moore was raised in Arkansas by a no-nonsense grandfather who had emigrated from Greece.

He developed a love of music as a young man and even played the drums professionally at one point.

He enrolled in college soon after he graduated from high school at age 16.

He enlisted in the Army, flew helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft during the Vietnam War, and retired as a lieutenant colonel after a nearly 21-year military career. He transitioned into the computer software industry and later plunged into other business and consulting jobs.

He and Peg fell in love with Temecula after they popped into its nascent wine country on an afternoon outing.

A fledgling incorporation drive had just faltered when Jimmy was asked to lead a coalescing group of community leaders. Peg agreed to be the incorporation committee’s secretary.

Temecula’s push to become a city took several tries and a pair of costly feasibility studies. Residents overwhelmingly approved an incorporation measure at the polls, and the

10 Things You Need to Know Before You Hire a Real Estate Agent Not all real estate agents are the same. If you decide to seek the help of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some crucial information before you make any moves. AN AGENT CAN COST OR SAVE YOU THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent.

In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal.

Temecula City Manager Aaron Adams gives Peg Moore his condolences during a memorial held for her husband Jimmy Moore at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, Aug. 17. Jimmy Moore, known as “Mr. Temecula” was instrumental in Temecula’s incorporation effort in 1989. His wife Peg, was also a member of the city’s first city council.

choice of the area’s aboriginal name gave their city a unique distinction Dec. 1, 1989.

Temecula’s population has surged from 27,099 at the city’s creation to more than 106,000 today. Its employment base has roughly quadrupled during that period.

Peg was elected to Temecula’s first council. She served one term and opted not to seek re-election.

The couple moved to Maryland for a brief period, and on one snowy day decided to pack up and head back to Temecula. They resumed their leadership roles shortly after their return.

In addition to the Historical Society, Jimmy was a key figure in the Temecula Town Association, the Kiwanis Club, Temecula Valley Wine Society, Temecula Valley Symphony, California Chamber Orchestra and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute.

Peg, who has coped with health challenges, currently serves as the chairwoman of the Old Town Temecula Review Board. The couple were married 61 years.

Besides Peg, Jimmy is survived by his siblings, daughter Marcia King, two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

City officials have expressed their appreciation for the couple’s contributions with more than mere accolades.

On Aug. 9, the council agreed to spend about $1,400 to staff and host Jimmy’s memorial service at the

Old Town theater. The city-owned facility seats about 320 people and offers a year-round palette of events and performances.

It was the second city-sponsored and -funded memorial service to be held at the theater since it opened in October 2005. The other was held in October 2011 for Bruce Beers, who served as Temecula’s first theater manager.

Beers’ service featured singing and dancing performances. No elected officials spoke as part of that program. Jimmy’s service included an honor guard rifle salute and performances by singer Sherry Williams and pianist John Rodby.

The council has agreed to engrave Jimmy’s name into a commemorative plaque near the council chambers. Peg’s name and those of several other community leaders have been etched into the “Wall of Recognition” plaque over the years.

The council also agreed in concept to create a founders’ square within the Civic Center complex that would recognize the contributions of the Moores and others.

The cost and location of the monument or plaque have not been determined.

“It will be beautiful and tasteful and I can guarantee it will reflect the joy that Jimmy exuded,” Edwards predicted as the Aug. 9 discussion wound down on the creation of a permanent memorial.

land being designated as Open Space: Recreation. The general plan amendment also removes the site from the Estate Density Residential and Rural Residential Area East of Interstate 215 Policy Area and modifies the general plan’s Circulation Element to downgrade La Ventana Road within the project boundary between Garbani Road and Wickerd Road from Secondary Highway to collector. The zoning was changed from Residential Agricultural 5-Acre Minimum to Planned Residential. The tentative tract map subdivides the property into 511 residential lots with a minimum lot size of 5,500 square feet and also has 25 drainage basins, park, paseo and open space lots.

The property is north of Wickerd Road, south of Garbani Road, east of Heinz Lane, and west of Brandon Lane. Approximately 8.1 acres of buffers along Garbani Road, Wickerd Road, and El Centro Drive will minimize the development’s impact on adjacent rural property owners.

The project will include a park on the eastern portion which will serve the development, the students at a planned Perris Union High School District school directly east of the park, and other nearby residents. The park will serve as a buffer between the neighborhood and the school and will also provide a safe connection to the school.

Invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito detected near Hemet HEMET – The invasive Aedes aegypti mosquito has been detected near the outskirts of Hemet, Riverside County vector control officials announced last week. A single mosquito was caught in a vector-control trap near Yale Street and Johnston Avenue in the unincorporated area near Hemet on Monday, Aug. 15. The mosquito has been found in several locations in Riverside County in the past year.

Non-native to California, Aedes aegypti is a black-and-white, daybiting mosquito that prefers to feed on humans. It has the potential to spread the Zika virus, Chikungunya, yellow fever and dengue.

While these viruses are not currently transmitted in California, there is a potential for them to be introduced into the state through

infected international travelers.

In the presence of a large population of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, a traveler who is a carrier and is bitten in California could become a source for transmitting a disease locally.

Locations where the mosquito has been detected statewide are listed on a California Department of Public Health map at www. cdph.ca.gov/HealthInfo/discond/ Documents/AedesDistributionMap.pdf.

Aedes aegypti is different from native California mosquitoes. It lays its eggs just above the water surface in small containers, such as flower pots, pet bowls, discarded tires and bird baths. Capable of breeding in as little as a bottle cap of water, the eggs can survive on surfaces even after water has been

drained. As a result, residents should drain all standing water on their property and then scrub items that contained water.

Riverside County’s vector control staff will continue looking for the mosquito in areas surrounding the point of discovery. That effort will include door-to-door inspection of residential and commercial properties for mosquitos and standing water where larvae can develop. Postcards also will be mailed to notify residents and to educate them about preventing all mosquitos from breeding around their homes.

Residents can reduce the chances of being bitten by Aedes aegypti or other mosquitoes by taking the following precautions: • Protect against mosquito bites by using insect repellent. Use a re-

pellent with DEET (N, N-diethylm-toluamide), picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535 according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months, and only in concentrations of 30 percent or less on older children. Lemon eucalyptus oil should not be used on children under age three.

• Be aware of peak mosquito hours. Dawn and dusk are peak biting times for many mosquitoes.

Consider rescheduling outdoor activities planned for those hours.

• Choose clothes that can help reduce mosquito bites. Wear long sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors to help keep mosquitos away from skin.

• Mosquito-proof your home by

draining standing water and scrubbing items that held water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty and scrub unused flowerpots and wading pools. Change water in birdbaths and pet bowls at least weekly.

• Keep mosquitos outside with tight-fitting screens on all windows and doors.

Contact the Riverside County Vector Control program at (951) 766-9454 or your local vectorcontrol district to report mosquito problems, request fish that eat mosquito larvae or report neglected pools or standing water as potential mosquito sources.

Taxpayer protections in the bond proposition include a citizens’ oversight committee for overall transparency, prohibiting the use of funds for school salaries and annual audits of bond revenues and expenditures.

The school bond measure would require a 55 percent voter majority to pass. If enacted, the average annual cost to property owners would be approximately $19 per $100,000 of assessed valuation.

In response to this historic step, President Juan I. Saucedo said, “The greatest impact we can have on LEUSD students now and in the future is securing a dependable, long-term source of revenue to meet our goals for a 21st Century education.”

The intended use of bond proceeds, if approved, is to enhance, expand and provide: 1.

Menifee Outstanding Citizen Award Correction

Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce supports Measure ‘S’ to maintain high quality of life and services

Valley News erroneously reported in the article “Menifee acknowledges local heroism with first ever Outstanding Citizen Award,” which ran Aug. 19, that Darius Hughes was doing mission work for a Lutheran Brethren Seminary.

This is not the case. Hughes actually did missionary work as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The article also mentioned that he had leapt down a slide that had three flights of stairs, when in fact there were only two. Valley News apologizes for the errors.

TEMECULA – The Board of Directors of the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce voted unanimously July 28, to support Measure S to ensure Temecula’s high quality of life and prevent cuts to safety and services. As the city is now maturing and developer’s fees are decreasing, the Board said citizens must work together to protect and continue to maintain the quality of life for citizens.

“People live and do business in Temecula because it offers a high quality of life and a high level of services for its residents and businesses. It is important to maintain those levels and prevent cuts to services and programs,” the Temecula chamber’s Board of Directors wrote in a statement.

Measure S – the City of Temecula’s Emergency Response, Public Safety, and Vital City Services Measure – proposes to increase Temecula’s sales tax by 1 percent.

ber, city staff estimates the move will add $23 million annually to Temecula’s coffers for safety and services. During a city council meeting last month, City Manager Aaron Adams noted that 51 percent of this increase in revenue will be paid by non-residents, and not by residents of Temecula.

If approved, Measure S will provide funds to maintain public safety and 911 emergency response services, keep roads, parks and infrastructure in good condition and provide other vital services and programs that make Temecula a desirable place to live, work and do business.

Measure S would generate locally-controlled funds that cannot be taken by the State, to maintain 9-1-1 emergency response times, prevent cuts to local paramedic, police, fire protection, school safety patrols, youth/after-school, senior and disabled services; improve freeway interchanges; reduce traffic; and

provide for other general services.

Funds generated by Measure S will remain local and be spent on local essential services that benefit the residents and businesses in Temecula. The State of California continues to inconvenience businesses and cities with overregulation, increased costs and responsibilities while taking away funding. In the last five years alone, Sacramento has taken $31 million from the City.

Measure S includes sound business practices including strict accountability provisions with annual independent financial audits, public review of expenditures and ensures that all funds remain in Temecula.

These fiscal safeguards ensure local funds continue to be used efficiently, effectively and as promised.

gastroenterologist said, “We need a seamless program like this one for the community… It will improve our existing services.” He said patient and physicians need to use the new healthcare facility with its easy access to the hospital. “Spread the good news.”

Attending the ceremonies were Hemet City Mayor Bonnie Wright and City Manager Alex Meyerhoff. Riverside County 3rd District Supervisor’s staff and state government representatives were also present and gave awards to the homecare center and hospital administrators.

The services provided by the Hemet Valley Healthcare Center Tisdale also apologized “to all of those who have, or will be impacted, particularly my children,” for his actions in the Facebook post.

In his Aug. 19 press release, Tisdale asked for continued privacy while he and his family continue to work through their issues.

“As we continue to work to resolve these private matters, I ask for the community’s ongoing respect for our family’s privacy,” he wrote. “It is an honor to serve as the

Also; private and patient family dining, therapeutic diets, diabetic care and pain, wound care, diabetic care and education and social services discharge planning.

The skilled nursing center also houses the Sage Room, a chemical dependency unit for addiction rehabilitation center used by patients and outpatients.

The healthcare center accepts insurances from Medicare, most HMO plans and hospice.

Mayor for the City of Lake Elsinore and I am eager to get back to work alongside my colleagues, city staff and the community to continue to build a better, healthier and more vibrant Lake Elsinore.”

Tisdale also took a leave of absence from his position with 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington. As of press time it remains unclear if Tisdale had resumed those duties as well as his mayoral ones.

Hemet city officials, chamber of commerce members, prominent Hemet physicians and nurses attended the ribbon cutting for the newly reopened 90-bed Hemet Valley Healthcare Center Friday, Aug. 29, at 371 N. Weston Place.

The newly remodeled and staffed skilled nursing facility now has 56 beds occupied by patients recovering from surgery by physicians at the adjacent Hemet Valley Hospital. Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri, chairman and CEO of Physicians for Healthy Hospitals, Inc. which manages the Hemet hospital, told chamber members and guests to the facility say that it was a part of PHH’s vision to make Hemet Hospital its accompanying facilities and physicians, leaders in health, cardiac and orthopedic care in the Inland Empire.

The orthopedic surgeon said the facility unfortunately was closed in 2009 but as things improved at the hospital the skilled nursing facility was remodeled and reopened to meet the increasing patient postsurgery needs.

“We need to grow,” Chaudhuri said. “We need to bring people back to Hemet (for medical and health care).”

He said his vision was to expand the hospital facilities and to one day establish a nationally-known medical college with the best medical digital systems available.

Dan McLaughlin, FACHE, the Chief Hospital Executive Officer, said the skilled nursing center will, as its welcoming brochure says be “committed to our position as the premiere skilled nursing facility providing excellent in care, community leadership and becoming the employer of choice.” The Hemet Hospital system is one of the largest employers in the city of Hemet.

Dr. Anil Rastogi, cardiologist and CFO and Treasurer of PHH, said the hospital and center opening, “is very close to fulfilling my dream of providing all local (medical) services in Hemet.” He indicated that in October the community will offer all cardiac services with the opening of Hemet Cardiology tied to the hospital center.

“We will even have a hybrid cardiac surgery room with new beds that can do everything needed to help cardiac patients recover,” Rastogi said.

Gov. Brown says yes to school finance reforms inspired by CPC study SACRAMENTO — It’s rare that a think-tank study produces real reform, but it happened today when Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill designed to stop school officials before they recklessly spend again.

Assembly Bill 2116 began one year ago with a July 2015 California Policy Center study.

“For the Kids: California voters must become wary of borrowing billions from wealthy investors for educational construction,” by CPC researcher Kevin Dayton, tracked passage over 14 years of more than 900 California school bonds worth $146.1 billion.

Inspired by that CPC study, Rep.

CANDIDATES from page A-1 two available seats during the Tuesday, Nov. 8, election was Brian Barton, Randon Lane (incumbent), Keelan McCullough, Kelly Seyarto, Robert Tyler and Harry Ramos (incumbent).

Temecula is another city retaining the at-large system. Ronald Bradley, James Cooley, Jeffrey Frichner, Angel Garcia, Michael McCracken (incumbent), Michael Naggar (incumbent), Adam Ruiz, James Stewart and Skylar Tempel all qualified for the two open seats on that council.

City council members are elected

James Gallagher (R-Sacramento Valley) drafted a bill to limit the ability of school districts to take on debt through new bonds – even authorizing county auditors to stop spending if bond “funds are not being spent appropriately.”

“I am pleased that the governor saw the need to increase oversight of school bonds,” Gallagher said in a press release. “Borrowing for bonds has exploded in the last decade, and it is more important than ever that school construction bond funds be fiscally sound and their financing mechanisms transparent.”

In addition to waste and abuse in the management of those school

bonds, Dayton found another problem: the surge in school bond debt has produced a massive “wealth shift” upward – from taxpayers of relatively modest means to “wealthy investors who buy state and local government bonds as a relatively safe investment that generates tax-exempt income through interest payments.”

Gallagher’s bill implements California Policy Center recommendations to kill one of the most pernicious municipal finance practices. The new law limits the ability of bond advisers to exaggerate property values when calculating the taxpayer burden.

“We dedicated tremendous

resources to producing this study, and we were naturally pleased to see Rep. Gallagher act on it with such energy,” said Ed Ring, CPC’s president. “We’re especially delighted that the state’s school kids have been placed ahead of the interests of consultants, government unions, politicians and Wall Street banking interests.”

“It’s great to see intellectual research and analysis turn into practical improvements in law,” said Dayton.

Kevin Dayton is a policy analyst for the California Policy Center, an influential writer and the author of frequent postings about generally unreported California

state and local policy issues on the California Policy Center’s Prosperity Forum and Union Watch, as well as on his own website LaborIssuesSolutions.com.

Dayton is a 1992 graduate of Yale University. Follow him on Twitter at @DaytonPubPolicy.

at-large in Lake Elsinore which has three seats up for re-election this cycle. Incumbents Natasha Johnson, Steve Manos and Robert McGee will all attempt to retain their seats. Two other candidates, Edwin Castro and Steve Martin, also qualified for the Nov. 8 election.

Wildomar is poised to hold its first by-district election after city council voted to abandon the atlarge system due to the threat of a lawsuit earlier this year, but current Mayor Bridgette Moore was the only person who filed candidacy paperwork for that city’s newlyformed 4th District. Pursuant to California Elections Code, the city

must now either appoint Moore to the seat or hold the election even if she is the only one who has declared her intent to run for the seat. The city is expected to make a decision at an upcoming council meeting.

In Wildomar’s 2nd District, Bob Cashman has decided he would not run for re-election, leaving that seat up for grabs. Two candidates have qualified for the 2nd District: Justin Nigg and Linda Gonzales.

City Council Districts 1 and 3 are both up for grabs, as is the mayoral seat in Menifee this election cycle. Qualified candidates for mayor are Scott Mann (incumbent) and Neil Winter. Both incumbents Greg August and Lesa Sobek are running unopposed for their seats in Districts 1 and 3 respectively.

As in Wildomar’s case, council can choose to either appoint both August and Sobek to their seats or hold a general election, which will be decided at a later date.

Hemet City Council has three open seats and, like the city of Wildomar, recently made the move to by-district elections verses the at-large system it had been using.

Hemet currently has three open seats. Mayor Bonnie Wright has declared her candidacy, as has Paul Valenzuela, and the winner will represent the city’s 4th District.

In the city’s 1st District, Karlee Meyer will face off against Chuck Moore. Hemet’s District 3 is a crowded field with four qualified candidates: Patty Axelrod, Cameron Scott Broderick, Bryan Hash and Michael Perciful.

Two current councilmembers did not file declare candidacy. Both Robert Yousef and Shellie Milne will not be running to retain their seats on council. Milne, the current first district councilmember was ineligible to run as she is currently in a hotly contested race with Chuck Washington for the 3rd District

Supervisor seat. It is unknown why Yousef declined to run.

San Jacinto – another city that votes at-large – has five candidates for three seats. Incumbents Crystal Ruiz and the city’s current Mayor,

Andrew Kotyuk have both qualified, as have James Pangrazzi, Russ Utz and Karen Kibby. Councilman John Gagnepain did not file to run for another term.

Caltrans encourages motorists to save state funds with Adopt-A-Highway program MENIFEE – Caltrans is encouraging motorists to keep the state clean with its “Don’t Trash California” campaign and join its Adopt-A-Highway program in order to save state funds used for litter removal.

In 2014, Caltrans District 8 (which includes the City of Menifee and the Southwest region), reported spending over $6 million to clean up regional state highways, and statewide the state transportation agency has spent

$62 million on litter removal in the past year; however, on the flip side the blight of trash and debris can be even more detrimental to a community affecting growth, crime and over reputation which at a local level can contribute to revenue loss or increased spending on the issue.

Caltrans uses a variety of litter removal programs that include Adopt-A-Highway, work release programs, one day permitted cleanups by groups and local agen-

cies, and through the work of its own crews to address litter issues.

Like Caltrans, the city is committed to helping to save money by keeping the highways trash free, so that funds instead would be used to repair and improve roads and highways.

Through the partnership with Caltrans, the State Department of Transportation has cleaned up the corridor along Newport Road to Scott Road, and has scheduled a cleanup from Newport Road to

McCall Boulevard this week, and from McCall Boulevard to Ethanac Boulevard in the next couple of weeks.

“We appreciate the Caltrans partnership with the city to help keep our city clean and inviting for our residents, and visitors, as highways are the gateways to cities,” said City Manager Rob Johnson.

“We also appreciate the local partnerships and programs Caltrans has fortified to keep the cleanup costs low, as the City of Menifee

understands well that tax dollars spent each year to cleanup roads could be better used for ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs, to assist with improved circulation and the movement of goods.”

For more information or to learn about the Caltrans AdoptA-Highway program, please visit http://adopt-a- highway.dot.ca.gov or call (916) 654-2926.

Melendez’s bill strengthening the supervision of sexually violent predators heads to the governor SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, has announced her legislation to strengthen the supervision of sexually violent predators cleared the California State Senate and now heads to the Governor’s desk.

“Sexually Violent Predators are a class of criminals whose release must be considered with extreme caution,” said Melendez. “These are dangerous criminals who prey

on society’s most vulnerable individuals; they commit the most disgusting and heinous violent crimes.”

Assembly Bill 1906 will require the Department of State Hospitals to notify the local District Attorney’s office 20 days prior to the release of a sexually violent predator. This provides a District Attorney’s office time to evaluate the offender to determine if they have been rehabilitated and pose

no threat to society or if further rehabilitation is needed.

Current law requires the Department of State Hospitals to notify the local District Attorney’s office before the release of a person with a sexually violent predator conviction, but gives no timeframe to do so. AB 1906 ensures proper notice is given to ensure these individuals are screened before release.

AB 1906 is sponsored by the California District Attorneys As-

Domestic workers provide critical in-home services in California SACRAMENTO – The California State Assembly passed important legislation that would permanently preserve overtime protections for California’s privately hired domestic workers last week. SB 1015 now advances to Governor Brown for his consideration.

Authored by Senator Connie M. Leyva (D-Chino), SB 1015 would continue the success from AB 241 (2013) – which granted overtime protections to California’s privately hired domestic workers – by removing the initial 2017 sunset provision and extending the law’s provisions permanently.

Over 300,000 domestic workers serve as housekeepers, nannies and caregivers in private homes in California. These individuals – which include primarily immigrant

women – oftentimes provide for their own families as the primary income earner and continue to contribute greatly to the economic and social well-being of families and communities across the Golden State. Without the hard work of domestic workers, many Californians would be forced to forgo their own jobs to address their household needs. Despite the importance of their work, domestic workers have historically received wages well below the poverty level and were excluded from some of the most fundamental labor protections that other California workers enjoy.

“SB 1015 would permanently extend these important overtime protections that domestic workers in California already receive as a result of Governor Brown signing AB 241,” Senator Leyva said.

Ground Mounts

“These hardworking women and men sometimes travel many hours to and from work and are away from their own families because they work as privately hired domestic workers in another family’s home. Domestic workers in California assist countless individuals, families and communities across the state and deserve to continue receiving a fair wage with overtime for their day-to-day hard work. I thank my Assembly colleagues for standing with domestic workers as they fight to keep this important labor protection that they first received in 2013.”

SB 1015 is sponsored by the California Domestic Workers Coalition and supported by over 100 community, labor, education and legal rights organizations.

sociation.

“As the law stands, it is putting every single community at risk.

We cannot release another John Gardner into our communities,” Melendez said. “The Governor and I haven’t always seen eye to eye when it comes to public safety, but I am confident he will agree that these dangerous predators must be thoroughly vetted prior to release.”

John Gardner confessed to raping and murdering 14-year-old Amber Dubois from Escondido, California in 2009 and raping and murdering 17-year-old Chelsea King from Poway, California in 2010. Prior to his confession, Gardner was convicted of molesting a 13-year-old girl in 2000 and served 5 years in prison.

AB 1906 will now be heading to the Governor’s desk for his signature.

New Fallbrook program to keep seniors safe on the road while keeping independence Andrea Verdin STAFF WRITER

For most individuals, driving is an essential part of life that allows for independence and mobility.

However, for some seniors, driving is no longer a safe activity. Still, they are not interested in giving up driving because they feel that not being able to drive would keep them from truly being independent.

However, not all of these seniors are simply driving out of stubbornness. As a matter of fact, nearly one-third (31 percent) of surveyed seniors 70 and older who were still driving said that a recommendation from family or friends may make them reconsider driving. Because this conversation has not happened, most of these older adults (95 percent) have not considered the effects of their driving.

Adult children of seniors have a hard time having a conversation with their aging parents about this concern, and as a way to help with this concern, DeDe Fadell, the owner of Home Instead Senior Care, has a free program to help assess seniors’ current capabilities as drivers and offer instruction for how to have a family discussion about when it is time for that senior to stop driving.

“A lot of our clients want to stay at home and keep their independence, and the possibility of losing the ability to drive gives them the sense of independence and respect,” said Fadell. “We need to make sure everyone is safe on the road.”

Nearly 90 percent of aging adults rely on their cars and driving to stay independent, according to a recent

CDC study. Though many seniors 70 and older are able to drive safely into their later years, it is critical for families to have a plan in place before a medical or cognitive condition makes it no longer safe for their senior loved one to get behind the wheel.

“As adults, we don’t hesitate to talk to our teenage children about driving, but when we need to address concerns with our own parents, we drop the ball,” said Elin Schold Davis, occupational therapist and project coordinator for the Older Drive Initiative of the American Occupational Therapy Association. “We know that discussing driving with aging loved ones reduces their discomfort around limiting or stopping their driving.

Often, families just need to know how to start the dialogue.”

Let’s Talk about Driving features a wealth of resources for older adults and their families, whether they are still on the road or have given up the keys. One element of the program is the Safe Driving Planner, which helps seniors assess their own driving habits, and helps families create a roadmap for reducing or stopping driving when the time is right.

For those who are not ready to give up driving, Let’s Talk about Driving offers tools to help older adults drive safely, consider options for driving reduction or cessation, and identify alternative transportation options.

Some seniors may be able to be on the road longer, and others may have health-related issues that keep them from being able to drive the

way they used to. Senior drivers may keep these health concerns to themselves so that their children will not take their vehicles from them.

Age-related macular degeneration and blurred fields of vision are some of the biggest hindrances to seniors driving, said Fadell. However, that does not mean that a senior has to lose his or her independence.

“Driving does not equal mobility,” says Elin Schold Davis, Project Coordinator, AOTA Older Driver Initiative, American Occupational Therapy Association. “It’s one way to get from point A to point B. It’s important to know that giving up driving is not giving up engagement in the community, recognizing that exploring and becoming comfortable with alternatives will take some work.”

Family caregivers can look for several potential warning signs that their senior may be losing the confidence or ability to drive, such as unexplained dents, trouble turning to see when backing up, increased agitation while driving and riding the brake.

“Physical and cognitive changes, such as those caused by Alzheimer’s disease, changes in vision or medication usage, can put older adults in jeopardy on the road,” added Schold Davis. “Many drivers can continue to drive safely as they get older, but it’s important for families to work with their loved ones to create a roadmap that explores new technologies and solutions, while planning ahead. The solution may not be to stop driving completely, but could include adding senior-

friendly safety features to the car or taking a safety class.”

“There is a lot of technology in cars to help seniors drive longer,” said Fadell. “Emergency response and parking assist are examples.

However, if a senior doesn’t feel comfortable behind the wheel, he or she may feel relieved to have the discussion, especially if they know they aren’t going to be housebound.

The family should rally around their senior, and let them see there are transportation options that are still safe, and allow the senior to be independent.”

10 Warning Signs that Seniors May Be Unsafe Drivers On the Road 1. Mysterious dents. If an older adult can’t explain what happened to his or her car, or you notice multiple instances of damage, further investigation is needed to understand if there’s been a change in the senior’s driving abilities.

2. Trouble turning to see when backing up. Aging may compromise mobility and impact important movements needed to drive safely. Fortunately, newer vehicles offer back-up cameras and assistive technologies that can help older adults continue to drive safely.

3. Confusing the gas and brake pedals. Dementia can lead to a senior being confused about how his or her car operates.

4. Increased irritation and agitation when driving. Poor health or chronic pain can trigger increased agitation that may, in turn, lead to poor judgment on the road.

5. Bad calls on left-hand turns. Turning left can be tricky and dangerous for older drivers, and many accidents occur where there is an unprotected left turn (no turning arrow).

6. Parking gone awry. Difficulty parking, including parallel parking, could cause damage to an older adult’s vehicle as well as to those around it.

7. Difficulty staying within the lanes. If you’ve spotted a driver zigzagging along the road, it could be a sign that fatigue or vision problems are making it difficult to stay on course.

8. Delayed reaction and response time. Aging slows response times which may create a situation where an older adult may cause an accident or be unable to respond quickly enough to prevent a crash.

9. Driving the wrong speed. Driving too fast or too slow may be indicators that a driver’s judgment may be impaired.

10. Riding the brake. Riding the brake could be a sign that a driver no longer has confidence in his or her skills.

A new lifestyle center coming to the heart of Menifee MENIFEE – Construction is underway at the corner of Antelope and Newport roads, in the hub of Menifee’s economic development corridor. The 150,000 square foot, high-traffic, power center is called Menifee Lakes Plaza and features a 10,000 square foot, two-level LA Fitness center with state-of-the-art workout and cardio equipment and an indoor pool.

In addition to health conscious restaurants, retail outlets and service amenities that cannot yet be named due to confidentiality agreements, the 16-acre center will include a 12-pump Chevron gas station with a 3,400 square foot convenience store, car wash and lube center. The new lifestyle center is expected to open early next year.

“Menifee is proud to attract so many new projects with quality tenants in our downtown core,” said Mayor Scott Mann. “Restaurants and high profile retail and service businesses are choosing to invest in Menifee because they recognize the potential here and see the community’s demand and regional pull.”

Situated along Newport Road, facing Interstate 215, this high-pro-

file site is also zoned for a boutique hotel. With traffic counts along the I-215 around 85,000 average daily traffic (ADT), and more than 50,000 ADT along Newport Road, Menifee Lakes Plaza is considered a prime location in Southwest Riverside County.

Even with great news like this, it is a very small bump in the larger $20 million budget deficit projec-

tion – coupled with additional needs Menifee has for improved infrastructure, street maintenance and public safety.

For more information about Menifee Lakes Plaza or other development projects in Menifee, please contact Economic Development Manager Gina Gonzalez at ggonzalez@cityofmenifee.us or (951) 672-6777.

HS Football: Prep pigskin preseason ready to kick off

Elsinore and Great Oak took to the field in a scrimmage last week as both teams prepare for their upcoming seasons in the Southwestern and Sunbelt Leagues.

Rob Davis Photography

Along with new head coach, Darrel Turner, there will be a lot of new faces with just two returners in the Rams’ offense.

Elsinore is hoping to pick up where they left off last season after winning their final three Sunbelt games of the season.

Finally, the preseason chatter and anticipation is over. High school football is back.

The first Friday night of the prep football season features no shortage of interesting storylines throughout Southwest Riverside County. A big story that has coaches very excited this season is the recent announcement by the CIF-Southern Section in regards to the new high school football playoff divisions that will take effect this season.

Teams will now be grouped in

post season divisions by a points system so no longer will the league that a team plays in be a factor as they get to the post season. The system will be based on a team’s performance for their previous two years and schools will be placed in divisions based upon power-point profiles developed by the CIF, which they have already successfully implemented in basketball.

Of course the questions remain in the very tough Southwestern League. Will Vista Murrieta pick up where they left off as Southwestern League champions? Can they continue to dominate extending their

six year undefeated league winning streak under new head coach, David Olsen?

Will former Vista Murrieta assistant coach Darrel Turner be able to guide the Murrieta Mesa Rams to their first ever winning season as the Rams new head coach?

How about the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks? Can Head Coach George Wilson and his entourage of core coaches repeat their success from last season? Will sophomore Nighthawk prodigy Hank Bachmeier shatter his freshman passing record of 2,854 yards and 36 total touchdowns? Can Great Oak make

it to the post season after losing over 30 seniors?

We will begin to learn the answers to those questions and more Friday night as the 2016 season gets underway.

The week ahead is called Zero week and has become a great strategy for coaches as a midseason two week break is the reward for those that begin their games during the last week in August. Others like to plow right through their schedule as to not lose focus when their traditional schedules begin the first week in September.

It will be interesting to see, however, which teams emerge as serious contenders early on from all over the area. Among the several teams across the valley to watch with legitimate preseason hopes include Heritage and Paloma Valley out of the Sunbelt League, Rancho Christian and Calvary Murrieta of the South Valley League, Linfield Christian of the Ambassador League and Citrus Hill and Hemet of the Mountain Pass League.

Which ones end up as real contenders? It all starts Friday night.

Probationer allegedly caught with loaded pistol HEMET – A convicted felon was arrested Monday, Aug. 22, in Hemet for allegedly carrying a loaded pistol that was later confirmed stolen.

Boh Brandon Underwood, 31, of Hemet was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta

on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm, being a felon in possession of ammunition, receiving stolen property and probation violations. He’s being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

According to Hemet police Lt. Jeff Davis, Underwood was spotted

by a patrol officer about 3:40 a.m., walking in the area of San Jacinto Street and Whittier Avenue.

The patrolman immediately recognized Underwood from prior contacts and stopped him to conduct a probation compliance check, Davis said.

He alleged that a loaded 9mm handgun was found tucked inside the probationer’s pants. The gun had been reported stolen out of San Bernardino County nine days earlier, according to Davis.

According to court records, Underwood pleaded guilty in

June to auto theft with a sentenceenhancing allegation of committing a crime while on bail.

He was sentenced to 32 months of mandatory supervision – a form of probation imposed in lieu of time behind bars.

$25K reward posted for motorist who killed cyclist in Perris PERRIS – A $25,000 reward was announced Monday, Aug. 22, for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of a motorist who mowed down a 62-year-old bicyclist in Perris.

Duane Darling, 62, of Moreno Valley was killed the night of July 31 while riding along Cajalco

Road, just west of Wood Road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The Irvine-based Torkzadeh Law Firm, with whom Darling was associated, is putting up the cash reward.

CHP Officer Dan Olivas said few clues have surfaced in connection

with Darling’s death, and investigators are seeking witnesses who might have seen anything unusual around the time the victim was hit.

Darling was riding westbound on Cajalco about 8:30 p.m. when he was struck from behind, possibly by a Ford F-150 or F-250 pickup truck manufactured between 2008

and 2014, Olivas said.

The truck sustained passengerside front-end damage, including a busted headlight, he said.

Darling, who was a competitive rider, died at the scene.

In addition to the law firm’s reward, the group Hit-And-Run Justice is offering a separate $1,000

reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.

Tipsters can contact the CHP Riverside office at (951) 637-8000, or call Hit-And-Run Justice at (844) 448-6786.

bringing about more awareness and encouraging everyone to use sober designated drivers,” Lt. Tony Conrad said.

Seven other drivers were cited for driving with a suspended li-

cense, four drivers were cited for driving without a license, and two drivers were cited for active misdemeanor warrants, according to the MPD.

At least three vehicles, including a semi-truck hauling a 53-foot box trailer, were involved in two separate but related early morning rollover collisions at the corner of Leon and Keller roads Aug. 23.

In spite of the severe damage to the two vehicles, the occupants of the small car and SUV sustained only minor injuries and general complaints of pain after the wrecks.

A CHP incident log showed California Highway Patrol officers and other emergency first responders were first dispatched to the accidents at 4:26 a.m.

One of the first calls to 911 was made by the driver of the semitruck, who told dispatchers he had pulled off Leon Road onto Keller Road just moments before the accident to get his GPS bearing to where he was traveling to.

The driver told CHP dispatchers his truck and trailer were parked on Keller Road when a black Jeep Grand Cherokee that was being

driven southbound on Leon Road struck the back-end of his trailer.

Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicated that when the driver of the truck pulled onto Keller Road he had inadvertently left the back-end of his trailer sticking out into the southbound lane of traffic on Leon Road.

When the Jeep smashed into the trailer, it was ripped to pieces, leaving debris strewn across the entire

roadway. The SUV came to rest on its wheels on the northbound shoulder of Leon Road.

Frank Canez, of Murrieta, said he was traveling southbound on Leon Road approaching Keller Road in his Jeep just before the incident.

He realized at the last moment that the back-end of the big rig’s trailer was sticking into the southbound lane of traffic. He swerved to avoid the trailer but struck it with the pas-

senger side of his SUV. About 30-45 seconds after the initial collision, a gray Mitsubishi Eclipse – that was also being driven southbound on Leon Road – came upon the accident scene and crashed into debris that had been left in the roadway after the first collision.

The impact caused the second vehicle to roll over, sustaining major damage. The eclipse came to rest on it’s roof on the northbound shoulder of the roadway, mere feet from where the Jeep ended up.

The victim was able to exit her car after the collision and had general complaints of pain. Paramedics treated the unidentified woman at the scene before they transported her to a hospital with unknown injuries.

CHP is conducting an investigation into the two accidents.

Anyone with information about this accident or who may have witnessed the collisions should call CHP officials at (951) 506-2000.

Winchester Dental, a member of the Academy of Sports Dentistry, is heavily involved with treating sports patients, specifically Olympic athletes. The official Olympic Committee offers athletes medical insurance,

but does not cover dental benefits.

This is where Dr. Andrew Arriola steps in.

Listed on the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC) website as an official Olympic Dentist, Dr. Arriola treats the hopefuls from the Chula Vista Olympic Training Center free of charge. The dental practice follows a

philosophy to assist athletes “put on their best game-face without a toothache or any type of oral problems.”

Many hopefuls have a full-time training schedule and travel frequently. They have less time for taking care of their teeth and some even lack the resources to pay for the available assistance. By offering free services, the dental practice can support the athletes going to Rio with a brighter smile.

Not always a part of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Dr. Arriola was offered the opportunity to be a qualified dentist of the USOC at an Academy of Sports Dentistry meeting. The initial Olympic patient, Edward King, came to the office with a toothache right before the Olympic Trials, according to Renee Arriola,

Arriola. By giving back, the dentist practice can support injuries along with simpler treatments.

Dr. Arriola is certified in sports medicine and treats trauma patients as well. When the USOC came to the Academy meeting, they asked for a practice to help cover the dental insurance of the athletes, and Dr. Arriola took up the challenge pro bono.

Inspired by his passion for sports and his qualifications, he volunteered to help. Athletes in unofficial Olympic training centers were covered as well, as he decided to support the athletes.

As the official dentist of Lake Elsinore Storm, Dr. Arriola uses his specialization in sports dentistry and his passion to support multiple groups within the community. He also fundraises for Temecula Valley High School and Murrieta Mesa High School by making custom mouth guards.

Since then, Winchester Dental has treated many Olympic hopefuls train without the burden of dental issues.

However, dental group covers more than just Olympic athletes. According to the website, the Temecula location helps patients from Murrieta, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Fallbrook and Winchester and beyond, offering comprehensive, restorative, cosmetic and sedation dentistry.

a patient coordinator at Winchester Dental.

Competing in the four-man lightweight rowing competition, King, received a two phase treatment. He received the first phase before the trials, and Dr. Arriola helped relieve the pain of the toothache in order to maximize King’s sports performance. The second phase came after the trials, after King had made it to the Summer games, and fixed the toothache.

Jokingly, he stated, “I owe it to Dr. Arriola and staff for taking such good care of my toothache.”

Winchester Dental has seen about 15 to 20 athletes, some of which are competing in the Summer games and some in the Paraolympics. The Chula Vista location has over 200 athletes training, but the practice oversees any Olympic athletic training in other gyms. The practice covers the San Diego area, because while there are other volunteer dentist practices around, Winchester Dental is more involved and advertised about their dental benefits for athletes.

“Our athletes have a level of care through an experienced sports dentist. Dr. Arriola is glad to be a part of the Olympic Committee because it is a way to support the nation through serving the athletes,” says Renee

Temecula to form a “Cancer Treatment Task Force” to attract specialized treatment options TEMECULA – City of Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar and Mayor Pro-Tem Maryann Edwards, both Members of the City of Temecula Human Services Committee, hosted a “Regional Cancer Treatment Resources” roundtable meeting Aug. 12. In attendance with Mayor Naggar and Mayor Pro-Tem Edwards was the City Manager of Temecula, and City Managers for surrounding municipalities including the Cities of Lake Elsinore, Menifee and Murrieta. Also present was Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington and his chief of staff, as well as Riverside County Public Health, Temecula Valley Hospital, UCR Medical School, local doctors, medical students, EDC of Southwest California and nonprofit organizations that provide cancer resources including The American Cancer Society and Michelle’s Place.

Epidemiologist Wagaw, of Riverside University Health System – Public Health, presented various statistics to the group which indicated that southwest Riverside County has been driving the county’s recent population growth, which is now over 2.3 million strong. Salomeh Wagaw also illustrated that cancer is the second highest leading cause of death in the state and, more specifically, 18 percent of deaths in Temecula are cancer-related. Sentiment by the group unanimously confirmed that there is a severe deficiency in specialized cancerrelated medical services including screening, treatment and resources for cancer patients in the region.

Naggar stated, “Today’s meeting opened the discussion with our medical community and experts, as well as the County of Riverside and neighboring cities, to determine how we can bring more specialized cancer-related medical services to our region and, as a result of our discussions, we will be establishing a Regional Cancer Treatment Task Force to address this important topic.”

Edwards concurred, “Our Valley has grown tremendously, yet residents who are faced with such a challenging disease are often faced with driving several hours roundtrip to Orange County or San Diego to receive ongoing specialized cancer treatment.” Mayor Pro-Tem Edwards added, “We need to ease

the burden of those suffering from cancer and bring more cancer treatments and resource options closer to home.”

The Regional Cancer Treatment Task Force will comprise of a core group of individuals and organizations including those present today, county and city elected officials, medical and health organizations and related professionals with expertise on the topic of cancer screening, services and resources. The Task Force will carefully identify the various types of high-quality cancer services that are lacking in the area, and ultimately develop a plan to attract specialized oncologists, physicians and, ideally, a state-ofthe-art cancer facility to the region.

The group discussed a multi-faceted approach with that would address topics over the course of 7 to 10 meetings ranging from legislative

and healthcare/insurance concerns, facilities/services and pharmaceutical needs and economic incentives that may attract medical groups, cancer professionals, physicians and philanthropy to invest in the region.

Supervisor Washington concluded, “I’m pleased with what we accomplished today and look forward to formalizing a Regional Cancer Treatment Task Force to address these concerns together with my colleagues at the county, city officials, regional partners and medical experts.”

Former Storm GM pleased with Kluber’s All-Star game win Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

This year the Class A minor league all-star game between the California League and Carolina League all-star teams was played June 21 at The Diamond at Lake Elsinore and the major league AllStar Game was played July 12 at Petco Park in San Diego. The winning pitcher for the major league All-Star Game, Corey Kluber, once pitched for the Storm.

“I think it’s cool,” said Chris Jones, who was the Storm’s general manager in 2008 and 2009 when Kluber pitched for Lake Elsinore. “You always hope to see those guys do big things.”

Kluber took the mound 38 times for the Storm during those two seasons and struck out 199 batters in 194 1/3 innings. “He was a great guy with the Storm,” Jones said.

During the 2010 season the San Diego Padres traded Kluber, who at the time was with the organiza-

tion’s Class AA affiliate in San Antonio, to the Cleveland Indians as part of a three-way trade in which the Indians sent Jake West-

brook to the St. Louis Cardinals and the Padres acquired Ryan Ludwick from the Cardinals.

Kluber made his major league

debut with the Indians in 2011.

“You love seeing those guys make it,” Jones said.

The Indians’ Carolina League affiliate is the Lynchburg Hillcats.

Jones, who was the Storm’s general manager from 2007 to 2013, became the Hillcats’ president in March. “It’s cool to have him in Cleveland,” Jones said. “It’s fun to watch.”

Jones, a Texas native, had the general manager of the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League before taking the Lynchburg position. His current Carolina League affiliation placed the former California League general manager on the other side of the Class A all-star game. “It’s different,” Jones said.

Julian Merryweather of the Hillcats was the winning pitcher in the Class A all-star game. The Carolina League’s 6-4 win included three runs scored by Hillcats outfielder Greg Allen (who played at San Diego State University) and a home run by Lynchburg first

baseman Bobby Bradley.

“Lake Elsinore put on a great all-star game,” Jones said.

Jones was Lake Elsinore’s general manager in 2009 when the Storm hosted the Class A all-star game; Kluber had been promoted to San Antonio before that mid-season contest. Lake Elsinore also hosted the Class A all-star game in 1999. The Storm also hosted the 1995 California League all-star game; the first Class A all-star game was played in Rancho Cucamonga in 1996.

Kluber won the American League’s Cy Young Award in 2014. Former Storm pitcher Jake Peavy was the National League’s Cy Young Award winner when he was with the Padres in 2007, and former Storm third baseman David Freese was the World Series most valuable player in 2011 as a member of the Cardinals. “Those are all kind of really cool things,” Jones said.

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

At just 16 years of age, Maximilian Wild of Murrieta is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the area. Last week Wild and his partner, Andrew Ton of Milpitas, played in the Finals of the National Boys 16 Tennis Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where the two captured the gold balls, defeating the No. 11 seeds 7-6(5), 6-3.

Labeled as one of the most prestigious junior tournaments in the USA, with many renowned players having won it in the past (John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors), Wild and Ton had their work cut out for them.

Thanks to the ability to stay

composed throughout the first two sets, the boys put the final set of the match away for good with strong serves and great net play.

Having only played together once before, just two weeks earlier, the two became great friends after playing in an 18’s tournament and have built great chemistry together on and off the courts.

Max, who trains with coaches Bill Behrens (Murrieta) and Justin Montgomery (Temecula), is a strong right-handed competitor and Ton is a left-hander, which gives the pair a strong advantage.

Of course with the energy they bring and the positive approach to the game, both athletes look to continue to stay in the spotlight for many years to come.

Cox Charities awards James C. Kennedy Scholarship to Lake Elsinore High School student FOOTHILL RANCH – Alberto Elizalde, a recent graduate of Lakeside High School in Lake Elsinore has been awarded the James C. Kennedy Scholarship Fund. Established and funded by Jim Kennedy, chairman and CEO of Cox Enterprises, the fund provides college or university scholarships to children of the employees of Cox Enterprises Inc. and its affiliates. Alberto is the son of Pedro Elizalde, a facilities tech for Cox Communications. Alberto is enrolled at UC Riverside and is planning on a career in education.

The Cox award was presented to Alberto at a Cox Charities luncheon last week at Aliso Viejo Country Club in Aliso Viejo, where the achievements of 16 high school students were celebrated. More than $33,500 in funds were distributed to the students, with scholarships ranging from $1,500 – $5,000.

They were also recognized for their successes in the classroom and in the community.

Matthew P. Hobby, an Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps cadet at St. John’s University in Collegeville, Minn., has graduated from the U.S. Army Air Assault School and earned the honor of wearing the Air Assault Badge.

The 10-day course of instruction focuses on combat assault operations involving hands-on, performance-oriented Army warfare operations associated with helicopters. The physically and mentally demanding training in-

“Serving Southern California’s needs and fostering access to education isn’t a charitable contribution, it’s an investment in our youth and our community,” said Lacey Gaitan, community relations manager for Cox Communications.

“Cox employees are proud to support the 2016 Cox Scholars, who represent some of the area’s finest students.”

Funded by employee payroll donations that are matched by the company, Cox Charities awards scholarships to high school seniors and grants to nonprofit organizations. A volunteer advisory board of Cox employees oversees the foundation and its giving programs.

The Cox Scholarship is open to graduating high school seniors who are residents of a Southern California Cox service area and are able to meet various academic and community criteria. For more information on Cox Scholars, visit http://www.cox-cares.org/ cox-scholars.html.

Students are familiarized with the capabilities, knowledge and recognition of Army helicopters, aircraft, airborne and airmobile operations, setup of parachute and landing zones, safety procedures and aeromedical evacuation operations.

Students must complete a 12mile foot march in three hours or less wearing the prescribed uniform with weapon, equipment and a 30-pound backpack. The foot march is a graded task and a graduation requirement of the air assault course, designed to test strength, stamina and endurance.

helping the students identify and correctly pin their insects. Perry said he is impressed by the student’s pinning, “It’s almost museum quality, even for us,” (referring to the graduate students at UCR).

Rebecca Dana, one of the WCA students involved in the project, said she is enjoying the research aspect of the project. While she isn’t as fond of the collection process, she set up the Malaise trap at her house to collect insects for the other students participating in the class.

Michael Horton, Assistant Principal of WCA, said he is proud of these students for their dedication.

“Some do it out of pure love of science, others with the hope of getting accepted to a more prestigious university. Whatever the reason, these students are sacrificing their personal time for the cause of answering scientific questions that nobody knows the answers to.”

Hobby earns Air Assault Badge

Offered locally at APU’s Murrieta location, the revamped Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Business Management (MBM) programs prepare ethical leaders capable of adapting to the changing business landscape. Both programs feature flexible scheduling—evening classes, 7-week terms, and 6 start times a year—and a broad range of concentrations, including Organizational Science, designed for students who need to create an individualized concentration.

were chosen based on exemplary writing or science fair projects.

However, this class does not end during the summer; it is a multi-year project that may allow these students to become published authors.

In the beginning of the class, students will focus on catching, identifying and using the correct techniques to pin their insects.

Once students have mastered these techniques they will set up a Malaise trap to catch hundreds of insects. Students will identify, divide into categories and pin the

insects they will need for their project. Students will then extract the insect’s DNA and send it to a lab in San Diego. If they provide the DNA of a specimen that is not already in the Barcode of Life Database, they will be considered published scientists. Each year the database is published with all of the contributors as co-authors.

These Western Center Academy students will be working with Mt. San Jacinto College (MSJC) students. Western Center students will set up their Malaise trap in a preserve while MSJC students will set up their trap on their campus.

They will compare the insect’s DNA to see if human presence is a factor.

Obama Administration’s fracking rule gets what it deserves Michael James Barton SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Obama Administration’s war on affordable energy and jobs is unlawful. U.S. District Judge Scott Skavdahl recently made this official, ruling the Interior Department overstepped its authority when trying to limit oil and natural gas development on federal land.

The decision shouldn’t be controversial. After all, Congress banned Interior from issuing this kind of regulation back in 2005.

The law is so clear – not even Obama-appointed Skavdahl could side with the administration.

This decision is good for the rule of law. The court rightly noted that under our Constitution, Congress must first allow the Obama Administration to regulate hydraulic fracturing. Since Congress did no

such thing, the Obama Administration was found acting with no authority. These cases are too numerous to list, but in the most recent one, the Supreme Court delayed implementation of the EPA’s signature greenhouse gas initiative – the Clean Power Plan – until its legality can be determined.

The regulation wouldn’t have made our energy sector safer – it would’ve simply made it more expensive to develop the nation’s energy resources. By upholding the law, the federal court delivered a victory to working Americans who depend on low-cost energy every day.

At issue is an energy development technique called hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.” The process involves pumping pressurized fluids into rock formations to recover otherwise inaccessible

stores of oil and gas.

Advances in fracking technology have led to an unprecedented surge in domestic fossil fuel development over the last few years.

After attempting for decades to free ourselves from dependence on foreign energy, the United States now stands as the world’s leading producer of oil and gas. In fact, the country will soon export natural gas to the Middle East.

The Obama Administration has refused to consider innovative ideas to achieve energy independence.

Instead, federal officials have even implemented blockades against American energy workers through needless regulations designed to obstruct legitimate energy exploration.

This is exactly what happened last year, when the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Manage-

ment issued a rule governing oil and gas development on public lands. Even if the rule wasn’t “contrary to law,” as Judge Skavdahl put it, it was plainly unnecessary.

The agency claimed its new standards were intended to “improve safety and help protect groundwater.” Yet, over the six decades in which fracking has been used, there haven’t been any instances of groundwater contamination.

Various aspects of fracking are already regulated by federal agencies, including the Department of Transportation, the EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and even BLM itself. Not to mention extensive state regulations govern everything from well design to air emissions and worker health.

The existing regulatory scheme keeps Americans and our envi-

ronment safe. The only thing the administration accomplished by adding another layer of federal requirements was raising compliance costs for energy companies.

Unfortunately, ordinary citizens end up paying.

The federal court has given the administration a much-needed power check. The president should take this as an opportunity to rethink excessive, unnecessary aspects of his environmental agenda – America’s economy will be much better off.

Property ownership under assault, local politicians warn

Health

Health officials confirm first 2016 West Nile case in Riverside County A 73-year-old woman who lives in western Riverside County is the first confirmed human case of West Nile virus in the county this year, said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, the county’s public health officer.

The illness was confirmed this week based on test results and other clinical information. The patient was hospitalized, but has been released and is expected to recover.

The virus is transmitted to humans and animals through a mosquito bite. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Health officials emphasized that the risk of serious illness to humans is low. Most individuals who are infected with the virus will not experience any illness.

Elderly individuals and those with compromised immune systems are at greatest risk for serious illness.

“While West Nile is rarely lifethreatening, it can be occasionally serious,” Kaiser said. “Unlike the common cold which is easily transmitted, the West Nile virus can only be spread by mosquito bites, and there are easy steps to take to reduce your risk of getting bitten.”

Here are some ways to protect yourself: wear long pants, longsleeved shirts and other protective

clothing outside; apply EPA-registered insect repellent that contains DEET; make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens; repair or replace screens that have tears or holes; and eliminate all sources of standing water on your property, such as old tires, buckets, flower pots and toys that can support mosquito breeding.

There were 138 confirmed and probable cases in Riverside County last year and six deaths, although that figure includes instances in which the patient had the illness but it could not be determined whether West Nile was the cause of death.

A comprehensive surveillance program to monitor the virus in Riverside County has been established by the Department of Environmental Health’s Vector Control Program, local mosquito and vector-control districts and other state and local agencies.

Anyone who becomes ill after exposure to mosquitoes should contact their health care provider.

The Disease Control office can be reached at (951) 358-5107 for more information on West Nile virus. If you have concerns about mosquitoes in your area, contact the local vector-control district.

Part of Munzing’s speech will delve into Agenda 21, a United Nations policy developed nearly 25 years ago currently being implemented globally.

“Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both governments and individuals and an unprecedented redeployment of human and financial resources,” the U.N. document states. “This shift will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences of every human action be integrated into individual and collective decision-making at every level.”

According to the US Census Bureau, by 2030, one in five Americans is projected to be 65 and over. Since seniors make up such a large segment of District 75, my office is continuously involved in reaching out to the senior community to provide valuable information and hands-on assistance.

We share valuable resources on Senior Safety tips and how to avoid criminal scams, financial abuse and disaster preparedness.

We’ve helped numerous seniors who don’t have computers get access to the documents and tools

they need where state agencies are involved: i.e. the DMV, Medi Cal, Franchise Tax Board, etc. Our office can also be a helpful liaison on Federal issues, including Medicare, Social Security and Veterans Affairs as well.

This assistance can also take the form of legislation. This session I introduced a bill to create a San Diego pilot program for counseling services for elder or dependent victims of financial abuse funded through the Victim’s Crime Fund.

That bill is currently in the Senate Appropriations committee.

Specifically, throughout our district, we have participated in an ongoing series of meetings

involving the Senior Disaster Resource Alliance, the 2016 Fallbrook Health and Wellness Fair, attended and provided resources and phone support to the 2016 Aging Summit, the Caregiver Coalition of San Diego in conjunction w/the Foundation for Senior Care, the grand opening of the Foundation for Senior Wellbeing, held district meetings with SCAN Healthcare and the Alzheimer’s Association and much more.

We are here to help, and take great pleasure in doing so. Please don’t hesitate to call my District Office at (760) 480-7570 or log onto my website at www.asmrc. org/waldron.

In our socially-oriented society, it doesn’t seem like a problem. A cold beer on a hot summer afternoon... a glass of wine with dinner... what could be wrong with that? In most cases, moderate consumption of alcohol really isn’t a problem, but for growing numbers of people, their drinking doesn’t stop with just a couple of beers.

Current statistics from the National Institutes of Health report that almost 90,000 Americans die from alcohol-related diseases each year, with alcohol-impaired driving responsible for over 30 percent of automobile fatalities. These same studies find that almost 25 percent of adults have been binge drinking in the previous month and that more than 16 million Americans suffer from an alcohol use disorder.

Perhaps because alcohol consumption is so common (more than 70 percent of Americans report having drunk alcohol sometime in the past year), it’s difficult for most drinkers to recognize when alcohol consumption has become a problem. That’s understandable.

The short-term effect of drinking is a positive one: making us feel good.

It’s hard to link those good feelings to the negative consequences which tend to occur later, may be subtle at first and may seem unrelated to our drinking.

Yet there actually are clear warning signs that alcohol has become a problem. One of the earliest is that people close to the person begin complaining about the amount of drinking taking place. That often happens after drinking-related arguments with family, friends or other loved ones, or may occur after drinking has led to work problems, an auto accident or other harmful incidents.

If alcohol use is affecting family, school or other obligations and relationships, or if drinking has been heavy enough to blank out memories of the night before, it’s a clear sign that it’s time to take action.

This isn’t easy to do. People tend to feel that admitting to an alcohol problem makes them look weak or sick. In reality, it’s an indication of strength, of wanting to control a situation before it gets out of hand.

A local mental health center or hospital can provide a list of professional counselors who specialize in substance abuse. While it may be difficult at first to admit there is a problem, taking action early can help avoid serious, life-threatening problems for the person, his or her family and anyone else who may be impacted by the consequences of their drinking.

Get creative juices flowing with Maurice Car’rie’s weekly Craft Fair

Guests discuss their purchase with a ceramic artisan who sells her products at the Maurice Car’rie craft fair.

Finding the perfect family event on the weekend is always difficult, but the Maurice Car’rie Winery in Temecula’s wine country has an option for the entire family.

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, guests can head to the arts and crafts fair that is held on the Maurice Car’rie lawn. Each vendor offers one of a kind wares for guests to peruse. There’s something for everyone, from intricate woodworking, ceramics and pottery meant to decorate the home and garden, to delicate jewelry and baubles that have been painstakingly created to be worn every day.

There are even fun pieces that make

ideal gifts, such as soaps made from French lavender grown in Le Chatelard, or funky purses that are made to match a person’s sense of style.

A large difference between vendors at small shops and a craft fair such as this is that craft fair vendors tend to be the creators and artists selling directly to their buyers.

Questions can be directly asked of the artist, who is happy to discuss the process used to create the wares for sale. This is a great chance to learn about something new. The passion that’s evident with the artists may inspire guests to find what they are passionate about as well.

If planned out properly, a full day can be enjoyed at the Maurice Car’rie Winery with the family. The craft fair is held from 10 a.m. to 5

p.m., and on Saturdays, live music begins at 7 p.m. This would allow a family to head over to the winery after brunch, and unwind for the day on the grassy lawn. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic basket, or even enjoy the decadent sourdough bread filled with Brie.

Adults can sip the variety of wines available while browsing the craft fair, and when it’s time to cool off, can enjoy wine slushies and stroll in the Maurice Car’rie gift shop as well, or even enjoy new art that is regularly displayed in the wine tasting room. Children love running on the lush lawn, and the familyfriendly atmosphere of the winery makes it easy for folks of all ages to enjoy the beauty of this winery.

For those who do not have chil-

Picnic tables are available for guests who plan to pack a picnic lunch and make a day of the craft fair.

dren, winery tours and tastings can play a larger role in the day. The family-run winery’s tasting room is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

In addition, those curious about the winemaking process can talk to the winemaker, who is typically on-site most weekdays. Guests can learn about the winemaking process, taste some of Temecula’s finest award-winning wines and purchase some unique gifts and home decor.

As the sun goes down, families can play games in the grass, or can lounge and listen to Saturday’s

featured musicians play the day away. Either way, it’s impossible to go wrong with a relaxing day at the winery. It’s the perfect opportunity to spend a day in one of the most beautiful areas in Southern California.

Maurice Car’rie Winery is located at 34225 Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley Wine Country. For information about the winery or the craft fair, call (951) 676-1711 or go to www.mauricecarriewinery.com.

Bel Vino winery sweetens wine tasting options with dessert wines Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

For those who are looking for a sweeter experience while wine tasting, dessert wines are the go-to option. These wines, while infused with complex flavors, are meant to be sweeter, and have a pleasant taste that can be paired with desserts and light snacks of all sizes.

Bel Vino winery, which is located in the heart of Temecula’s wine country, offers a wide array of wines for all preferences. As part of the sweeter wine variety, there are several white wines, three dessert wines and one dolce semisweet wine that can be enjoyed at Bel Vino.

These dessert wines are perfect for fine cheeses, nuts and fruit plates, chocolates and desserts. The Dolce semi-sweet is made from 100 percent merlot grapes, and has a pleasant sugar level, with the flavor

Wine tasting at Bel Vino isn’t just limited to dessert wines; all of Bel Vino’s wines are available to all throughout the week.

Dessert wines are prominently displayed for guests to purchase after finding their favorite.

and aroma of black cherries and plums. The dessert wine options at Bel Vino include a vintner’s select prima, which is a port styled and fortified dessert wine. In addition, Bel Vino has a 2004 prima dessert wine – handcrafted at the boutique winery. This wine, aged for 10 years, has caramel and chocolate aromas and flavors. The 2005 prima dessert wine also has caramel and chocolate aromas, and pairs well with dark chocolate, ice cream and many desserts. As part of the port dessert wine tasting, guests can choose between signature dessert wines and library dessert wines.

Patrons who want to take these dessert wines home can talk to any of the servers and they can suggest various dessert options to purchase and enjoy at home.

There are several ways that Bel Vino wines can be enjoyed. Firstly, guests can enjoy a few glasses (or bottles) of wine on the winery’s

property. The beautiful lawn overlooks the Temecula wine country, and has plenty of shade for everyone. Dogs and children are invited to come along while adults relax and enjoy the live entertainment.

For those who are hankering for a meal to pair with the wine, Bel Vino’s bistro has plenty of meals that have suggested wine pairings available. Pizza, soups, salads, burgers, wraps, fries and more are available.

Guests interested in an elevated wine tasting experience can book a premium library wine tasting.

These tastings are from the Bel Vino reserve that does not get served to all guests. Guests are given a private tasting, making this event ideal for family outings, bridal parties, business events or just for friends who enjoy fine wine together.

Those who want to host a special event and incorporate a library wine tasting can plan for foods to be paired with the tasting.

As an added benefit, guests who want to stay in the valley can rent the Bel Vino House, which is a residence on the Bel Vino winery.

With an enormous living room and kitchen, it’s the perfect spot to house a large party preparing for a wedding, or just a weekend out of the house.

Bel Vino winery is located at 33515 Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley Wine Country. For information about the winery, tastings, tours, the bistro or the wine club, call (951) 676-6414, email info@BelVinoWinery.com, or go to www.BelVinoWinery.com.

Smith wins People’s Choice Award at SD County Fair, gives three workshops Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Although Bodhi Smith lives in Temecula rather than in San Diego County, he has become well known to the staff of the San Diego County Fair’s Exhibition of Photography.

This year Smith had 16 photographs accepted for the exhibition, including one that won the People’s Choice Award and another that took first place in its category, and he was also a presenter at three of the fair’s workshops.

Smith gave the June 11 presentation Basics & Equipment of Long Exposures, the June 12 workshop Planned Chance and the June 18 session Editing: Blending Two or More Images Together.

“I try to do stuff for others that I wish I would have had,” he said.

Smith had submitted 18 photographs in 13 different categories.

The judges accepted 16 of his photos, nine of which won awards, from 12 different categories. “I think I had the most individual entries,” he said.

The exhibit included a total of 17 photos taken by Smith. Viewers are allowed to vote for the People’s Choice Award, and the

photo that receives the most votes during the fair wins that award and is also displayed the following year.

Last year, Smith won the People’s Choice Award for “Ascension,” which was entered in the Large Prints category and features the Owachomo bridge in Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah with the Milky Way galaxy in the background. The award placed “Ascension” in this year’s exhibit.

Smith repeated his People’s Choice Award this year with “Drama,” which shows a lightning strike over the Grand Canyon. “Drama” also took first place in the Large Prints class; the photo was enlarged to 40 inches by 40 inches. Smith took that photo in August 2015.

The second-place Large Prints photograph was also taken by Smith. “Astral Inverness” was taken in December 2015 at Point Reyes National Park and features a shipwreck with the shore. That picture was enlarged to 40 inches wide by 36 inches tall.

“That was kind of flattering,” Smith said of his two Large Prints entries winning first and second place.

An honorable mention award in the Color – Waterscapes, Sea-

scapes, Waterfalls, Water Details, Etc. competition was given to Smith for “Soft Falling Glow,” which is the end point of an unnamed waterfall in Zion National Park and was taken in August 2015.

Smith’s honorable mention photo in the Color Scenic – Fall category was for “Concerto of Orange.”

Smith took that shot of poplar trees in Boardman, Oregon, during an October 2014 trip.

“Concerto of Orange is one of my all-time favorite pictures,” Smith said.

“Rocky Waters” was Smith’s only black and white entry and received honorable mention in the Black and White – Scenic class.

The photo of the Golden Gate Bridge was taken in early 2014.

Photos from three different continents provided honorable mention awards for Smith; his other two photos with that distinction were taken during a June 2015 trip to Iceland. “Deathly Pink” is of the Dettifoss waterfall (“dettifoss” translates into “death fall”) and was entered in the Color Scenic – Winter category.

Smith’s “In the Mirror” picture of Svartifoss Park was in the Color Scenic – Summer class.

Although Smith does not enter

his photos in other animal classes, his land travels are with his golden retriever, Dude, and Smith annually enters a photo of his dog in the Man’s Best Friend category. Two days before Smith took “Drama,” he photographed Dude in New Mexico’s Bisti Badlands and called the photograph “Beholding the Daybreak.”

The 2016 Exhibition of Photography was the fourth for Smith. He entered a photograph of Dude in the 2013 competition and won second place in Man’s Best Friend. Smith had seven photographs accepted in 2014, and four of those won awards. Ten of his 13 photographs displayed at the 2015 fair were given awards.

Smith teaches at Ivy High School, which is the Fallbrook Union High School District’s continuation school, so he is also involved in the photography portion of the fair’s Student Showcase.

Smith began teaching at Ivy High School in 1998 and started Ivy’s photography program in 2012.

His actual teaching credential is in social studies and he teaches social studies (including psychology), art and a Web Design class as well as serving as Ivy’s photography in-

structor. Smith’s Ivy students began exhibiting photographs at the fair in 2013, and this year Ivy participation consisted of 40 students with 65 photographs.

In 2011, Smith became a landscape photographer on days he wasn’t teaching. (The Saturday classes were not held on holiday weekends, when Smith can take longer trips for his landscape photography.)

The San Diego County Fair began June 3 and ended July 4, but the Natural History Museum, which is part of Balboa Park in San Diego, currently has four of Smith’s photos in its Best of Nature photography exhibit. The display will continue through Aug. 28 and Smith was given Best of Show for “Impressions in the Mist,” which was taken on Smith’s April 2015 trip to New Zealand and features a tree with part of the Devils Punchbowl Falls waterfall in the background.

Smith recently accepted an offer with an Australian-based photography tour company to mentor photographers on group tours, and his signature tripod is expected to be in stores later this year. “Things have been going pretty good,” he said.

Seashells and Acrylics, TVAL’s “Swim” a success

Rosemarie Meis poses with her painting “Rainbow Lorikeets.” Meis was awarded first place at the Temecula Valley Art League’s latest Kris Latimer photos show held at the Truax Building Aug. 5.

Marilyn Latimer, president of the Temecula Valley Art League, show’s off her entry into the Temecula Valley Art League’s August show “Eye on the Temecula Art Festival.”

Victor Miller SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Truax Building might as well have been beachfront property as the Temecula Valley Art League’s latest show there earlier this month seemed

to preoccupy itself with the ocean.

So much so, in fact, that attendees should have been encouraged to forego the formality of ties and evening dress in favor of Hawaiian shirts and flip flops.

Returning to the Truax Building

yet again after what has been an ambitious year for the TVAL thus far, the Aug. 5 show, which was graciously hosted by the Sr. Recreation Coordinator for the city of Temecula, Gail Zigler, emphasized two-dimensional art with the incentive of prized accolades. Three works caught the critical eye of Joseph Oakes, a Realistic landscape painter from the city of La Quinta, who judged the entries, ultimately awarding first place to Rosemarie Meis for “Rainbow Lorikeets.” Second place

winner was Soon Chung for “Marissa” and third place was awarded to Neil Simpson for “Unstill Life.”

While judge Oakes’ penchant seemed to be exotic birds, his ribbon choices did not reflect the evening’s persistent theme of coastal encounters.

A kraken by Krach: Barbara Krach’s “Octopus” is a Day-Glo ascension into psychedelia. Ines Miller’s surreal “From The Deep Ocean” is a plunge into the artist’s subconscious.

The Third Place winner, Neil Simpson, offered multiple images of Tiki bar and scuba imagery set in Jasper Johns sectionals which received much notice from other artists in attendance.

Moving more inland but still maintaining a theme from some summer place...

Marilyn Latimer’s acrylic stroll on Mercedes Street during the 2016 Temecula Art Festival, “Eye on the Temecula Art Festival,” cleverly

evolved out of a photo of the TVAL president and her sunglasses’ reflection.

Glenda Palmer debuted a series of Naive artwork entitled “Visiting Trailer Camping in Our National Parks” which is planned for publication in a 2017 calendar.

Palmer is involved in the next TVAL project as well.

The Temecula Valley Art League will be holding their first Annual Fiesta Fundraiser for the Arts this coming fall.

The goals of this fundraiser are to raise money for art student scholarships, make donations to the Assistance League for “Operation School Bell” and provide supplies for art students at the Rancho Damacitas foster home. The TVAL is also looking toward helping subsidize a co-op art gallery with the Bernie Truax Building Corporation in the company’s proposed downtown Temecula hotel.

The fundraiser will feature a silent auction and drawing/raffle, Mexican cuisine and drinks set to music.

It will also include a live painting by an award-winning artist, Richard Stergulz, who will demonstrate his masterful portrait technique.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 1, and begins at 4 p.m. The fundraiser will be held at Casa Lolita Estate, located at 30835 Lolita Road in Temecula.

Tickets are $40 per person.

Raffle tickets also will be sold at the fundraiser and winners need not be present to win.

Dinner and a concert performance in El Cajon lets Campbell be Buzz Campbell Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Buzz Campbell founded the band Hot Rod Lincoln in 1991. He was later with Sha Na Na and is now the guitarist for former Stray Cats bassist Lee Rocker while also performing as part of the Winter Dance Party tribute to Buddy Holly.

During the summers, an entity called Downtown El Cajon Business Partners has a Dinner and a Concert event each Friday which includes a free concert on the Prescott Promenade. Campbell was billed simply as Buzz Campbell when he performed Aug. 5.

“It was nice to get back and play some of my own music and entertain people and be the front guy,”

Campbell said.

Sometimes Campbell’s performances are under the name of Buzz Campbell and Hot Rod Lincoln.

“Technically I’m the only member left. I basically put my name in front of it just because I’m the only member left,” he said. “I merged the two for a while. I still like to use Buzz Campbell and Hot Rod Lincoln because I think San Diego still remembers Hot Rod Lincoln and identifies with it.”

Campbell moved from San Diego to Temecula in 2004.

“For me it’s always fun to come back to San Diego,” he said.

The Aug. 5 concert included 28 songs.

“I didn’t even have a set list,” Campbell said.

Campbell explains that he plays what he believes that evening’s audience will enjoy.

“I just look at the audience,” he said.

Most of Campbell’s songs were originally recorded by other artists.

“I didn’t play any of my own music until a couple of guys came up and were very specific about it,” he said. “I wanted to entertain them first.”

Two of the Aug. 5 songs were Stray Cats melodies, “Stray Cat Strut” and “Rock This Town.”

Campbell wrote the song “Crazy When She Drinks,” which originally appeared on Rocker’s 2007 album Black Cat Bone, and Campbell performed that song Aug. 5. His other songs ranged chronologically from

Time is running out to see Murrieta time capsule items at library There are only a few short days left to see the 25-year-old time capsule materials display at the Murrieta Public Library. Once the items go off display, they can only be viewed by appointment.

MURRIETA – The City of Murrieta time capsule materials that were buried 25 years ago and unearthed at a July 12 ceremony honoring the City of Murrieta’s anniversary are now display in the Library’s Heritage Room.

The time capsule items, which

include photographs of the City as it was 25 years ago, and essays by students predicting what life in Murrieta would be like in the year 2016, were encapsulated, buried and donated to the City by the Citizens for Cityhood, the organization that pushed for Murrieta cityhood. Other

civic groups that added items were the Murrieta Garden Club, Murrieta Valley High School and the Murrieta Valley Town Hall Association.

The Murrieta Valley Historical Society, formed in April 2016, sponsored the ceremonial retrieval event.

The Murrieta Time Capsule Collection will be on display until Sept. 1. Thereafter, the items will be stored in the Heritage Room and will be able to be viewed by appointment.

The Murrieta Public Library is located at 8 Town Square (Adams Avenue and Kalmia Street). For more information, call (951) 304-BOOK (2665) or visit the library’s webpage at www.murrietalibrary.info.

MURRIETA – The Murrieta Public Library is honoring the 25th birthday of the City of Murrieta with a quarterly speaker showcase on the history of the Temecula Valley. The next in the series is a presentation by Audrey Cilurzo, on Tuesday, Aug. 30, at 6 p.m., in the Library’s Community Room.

Cilurzo is the owner of the first commercial vineyard in Temecula and co-author of “Temecula Wine

Country (Images of America).” She will talk about what it was like in Murrieta and Temecula when she and her husband, Vincenzo, first moved to the area in 1967, the changes since and life as a pioneer of the Temecula Wine Country.

This event is the third in a series of programs on local history presented throughout this year. Other presentations will be in the months of August and November. Refreshments will be

water Revival and by country artist Johnny Cash, and the tunes also included instrumental surf music.

Campbell noted that his desire is to play the music which influenced him.

“I try to put my own stamp on it,” he said.

Joey Guevara is Campbell’s keyboardist, Jonny Bowler played the bass, and Jerry Angel was the drummer.

“It’s great to have guys that are that seasoned,” Campbell said.

“They’re just so good at it. Makes it so easy.”

Band members of all three Stray Cats members are represented among Campbell’s musicians; Angel has performed with Stray Cats vocalist and lead guitarist Brian Setzer and Bowler has worked with Stray Cats drummer Slim Jim Phantom.

Campbell lives in San Diego, Bowler lives in Palm Springs and Angel lives in San Clemente.

“We all more or less travel an hour to get to wherever we’re doing,” Campbell said.

His original songs, his Hot Rod Lincoln activity, his work with Rocker and Winter Dance Party performances allow Campbell to have variety in his career.

“I feel I have an excellent balance of a lot of different things,” he said. “All of those different things definitely stimulate me musically.”

Library celebrates Murrieta’s birthday with history talk series

The Murrieta Public Library will host its quarterly speaker showcase highlighting the history of the Temecula Valley Aug. 30.

“Maybellene,” which was Chuck Berry’s first charts hit in 1955, to “Wicked Game,” which was recorded by Chris Isaak in 1989.

“I don’t really think of it in terms of when stuff comes out,” Campbell said. “I’m just playing all the stuff and trying to play the hits for everybody.”

Isaak’s style of music is more reminiscent of earlier genres than late 1980s music, and the same can be said about the 1990s band The Mavericks.

“I’m a huge fan of Chris Isaak and I’m a huge fan of The Mavericks,” Campbell said. “It had a huge influence on me because I was so happy to hear artists that were newer that I enjoy.”

The Stray Cats are often referred to as rockabilly, although Rocker’s concerts include other early rock and roll as well as songs by the Stray Cats and other rockabilly artists. Campbell notes that he and Rocker aren’t necessarily rockabilly musicians.

“We’re just a roots rock band,” Campbell said.

Campbell’s favorite band in high school was The Beatles. He also has an appreciation for Creedence Clearwater Revival.

“I’m just a huge fan of all those bands at that time,” he said.

The concert included songs originally recorded by Creedence Clear-

“Chess in Concert” playing in Old Town Temecula for one weekend only TEMECULA – It is a love triangle to last the ages as political rivalries and moral differences are pushed to the limit by a Cold Warera chess competition. The timeless game becomes a metaphor for international rivalry as two chess grandmasters aim for victory. The Barn Stage Company is proud to present “Chess in Concert” at the Old Town Temecula Theater for the first week of September only.

With the directional genius of J. Scott Lapp, musical direction provided by John Mario Di Costanzo and choreography special to April Henry, the theater company is sure to put on a great show for anyone that enjoy themes of love, espionage and international politics.

“Chess in Concert” centers

around the love triangle that emerges between an assertive American chess star, an earnest Russian champion and a Hungarian American female assistant who arrives for the chess match with the American but ultimately falls for the Russian.

Each of the pawns in this tale are manipulated and pushed to their limits, with the complimentary accompaniment of a rock score.

The show’s decorated cast is sure to wow audiences. Michael McCorry Rose is cast as the Russian chess grandmaster, Anatoly Sergievsky. He was most recently seen on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning musical “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder” and as Fiyero in “Wicked.” The American grandmaster, Freddy

Trumper, will be played by Louis Pardo. He has previously portrayed Jamie in “The Last 5 Years,” Jerry in “The Full Monty” and Judas in “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Murrieta’s Noah Turner has Social Star Talent Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Noah Turner is more than just an ordinary Murrieta Mesa High School student. Participating in Tilly’s Social Star Search talent contest, Turner is now in the top 50 applicants as a semi-finalist.

Influenced by his love towards the store brand, he entered the competition unaware of its magnitude and potential. With over 2,000 submissions through the Instagram hashtag #socialmediastar, Turner was originally surprised when he was picked by the Tilly’s board that runs the competition, and is ultimately honored to continue through.

As he progresses in the competition, the community is embracing his youthful talent. Murrieta Mesa even informed teachers and parents of his recent accomplishment and publicized his entry.

“With that has come lots of positivity and great support,” Turner says. Utilizing the connectivity of social media, he hopes to move onto the top ten through acquiring online votes. With a strong passion for singing, Turner is no ordinary honor student.

An aspiring singer, he currently sings with the school a cappella and choir group. He works with a Murrieta local producer named Jason Brawner, uploads weekly videos to YouTube and works with Jen-

nifer Dustman as his vocal coach.

Dedicated to getting his name out, he spends hours of his day singing and practicing. Through this, he has managed to balance school and maintain his passion.

With all his practice and performances, he has overcome his fear of singing in front of an audience.

His early affinity to singing was not limited by fear as he continued to perform with his church, however.

Beginning at age 3, Turner started singing with the youth group at Centerpoint Church.

“It was a really big deal to me, but I kept performing to overcome it,” he said.

Since then, Turner has sung the national anthem at various

Brymora, Consulate General of the Republic of Poland, speaks on behalf of the consul generals present at a California Documentary Film Festival news conference held at Menifee’s Santa Rosa Academy charter school, Aug. 22. Brymora hopes that the festival will be able to share a good selection of films with local residents and those drawn into the city for the event. Menifee Mayor Scott Mann and the Festival’s Chairwoman Daphne Barak, also in attendance, expressed their excitement toward bringing some Hollywood to the area. Menifee’s Mt. San Jacinto College and Santa Rosa Academy will serve as the primary locations for the festival, which could draw in numerous attendees, including potential film interns at the college.

Komen, Chopper the Biker Dog blood drive and the American Cancer Society. Booked for many local events, he will perform at the Temecula Valley Music Awards ceremony in November.

Motivated by his early passion of singing and music, Turner has allowed himself to connect with the community and himself.

“My parents always asked me if I wanted to play guitar or piano, but singing has always been an outlet for me. Music is very emotional and a great way for me to express

myself,” he said.

Kirsten Turner from Stardust Publicity said it’s a different world making it into the music business.

“Turner is determined,” she said. “He writes, he plays, he just loves it.”

As he embarks further into the competition and towards a career, he is humbled by the experience and wants to continue giving back to the community. He plans to keep uploading weekly videos to YouTube regardless of whether he wins or not. The competition ends Aug. 28.

CTC approves $814 million in new transportation funding for state’s infrastructure system SACRAMENTO – Continuing the push to rebuild and maintain California’s infrastructure, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) has allocated $814 million to 135 transportation projects that will alleviate traffic delays, repair aging roads and bridges and encourage bicycling and walking. This includes 34 biking and pedestrian projects throughout the state that will receive $12.1 million in allocations from the Active Transportation Program.

“Each of these projects is an opportunity to improve safety, access and mobility for all travelers in California, whether you choose to travel via car, bike or transit,” said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.

The newly allocated funding also includes $732.7 million from the State Highway Operation and Protection Program for 72 “fix-it first” projects that will maintain and preserve the state highway system and its supporting infrastructure. These capital improvements consist of projects covering maintenance, pavement repair and rehabilitation, safety improvements and upgrades to bridges throughout the state.

The allocations also include: $2.1 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, more than $19 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide for transportation purposes.

$52.7 million for Traffic Congestion Relief Program projects that will relieve congestion, connect transportation systems and provide for better goods movement.

The remaining $14.4 million in allocations came from various state and federal transportation accounts.

Among the local projects that received funding allocations were the following; Riv 15 - $22,063,000 - In and near Corona, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar, Murrieta and Temecula, from San Diego County Line to 0.2 mile north of Route 91. Install 128 Transportation Management System (TMS) field elements to improve the distribution of real time traffic information and the safety of the traveling public.

Riv Various - $2,933,000 - In Riverside and San Bernardino counties, on various routes. Replace 24 field weather systems and highway adviser radio elements. Also upgrade the software to improve distribution of real time traffic information and help crews respond to changing road conditions.

Riverside County Dept. of Public Health - $500,000 - Implementation of a comprehensive Safe Routes to School Program in the Eastside and University neighborhoods of Riverside County, including a chaperone program comprised of community volunteers who encourage active transportation in a safe environment.

Working caregivers Employers should appreciate the needs of workers who are taking care of kids and/or aging parents, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens.

A recent survey conducted by the Web site, caring.com, shows that “the vast majority of working survey respondents (88 peercent) said caregiving has had a major impact on their day jobs, reporting at least

some work-related repercussions stemming from their caregiving responsibilities.”

Blogger Dayna Steele writes in the Huffington Post that “providing support and flexibility” for working caregivers can have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line.

It promotes improved productivity, Steele says.

Growing old gracefully A research vessel bumped into an extra-large shark off the coast of Greenland. It was turned over to scientists who conducted a detailed study using radiocarbon dating technology. Their amazing discovery: the shark was some four centuries old, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens.

Danish researcher Julius Nielsen, lead author of a research report published recently in Science

magazine said the shark was the world’s oldest living vertebrate.

Greenland sharks are a super-slow growing species and that may account for its longevity. They take a century and a half just to reach maturity, he noted.

When the research team was done with its study they released the aging, but still spry, creature back into its icy cold habitat.

T

he Maze Stone Restaurant and the Country Club of Soboba Springs is fast becoming a critically acclaimed dining and golf resort dreamed of by the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians.

The restaurant and 18-hour golf course purchased by the tribe in 2004 have been completely renovated and yearly has grown more and more popular with both diners and golfers. The renovated course on the Indian tribe’s acquired land in San Jacinto, plays host annually to the PGA Tour Nationwide Tour Soboba Classic. The event boasts a $750,000 purse, making it one of the largest and most important stops on the tour.

The Maze Stone Restaurant located in the 32,000 square foot clubhouse opened its doors in April 2008 to rave reviews. Natural rock and beautiful alderwood trim bring the outdoors inside. Beautiful water features literally connect the signature Maze Stone restaurant and clubhouse.

Under the direction of Ray Shalizi, a well-known Certified Hospitality and Hotel Management administrator from Palm Springs who came to the Maze Stone in 2012, the popular restaurant has fulfilled the tribe’s dream to make the Maze Stone and golf course San Jacinto’s first true resort destination for all of California.

Shalizi, when he first arrived at the restaurant, said the “tribe had a great restaurant, but it had no branding. It

was more a golf orientation.”

He said his first goal was to make the restaurant more than just a bar with just sandwiches. People had the impression the restaurant and bar were more like a private club and “a special occasion restaurant.”

He quickly moved to make the restaurant and bar more refined and to bring to the public its general offerings. The offerings were expanded to include breakfast, lunch and dinner. A top chef was hired who brought aboard a sous chef and assistant cooks to produce excellent and extensive menus. They help provide the special foods needed for private banquets held in the adjacent banquet and ballroom for up to 300 guests.

meals for weddings, anniversaries, church and civic meetings serving large numbers of guests, became the banquet manager.

“We are a small tight-knit group,” said Shalizi. “We are here to serve others, especially in our hospitality.

We are in business to create food and entertainment venues for everyone.”

Top notch banquet and wedding arrangers are welcome and available. Servers are well-trained by staff to service the needs of every dinner guest.

Each server and other employees are required to attend a weeklong training period by the administrative staff. The restaurant, bar and banquet room currently has 24 employees to serve customers. He said he wanted to emphasize that they are open to the public. The Maze Stone and the tribe delight in offering a huge brunch to the people of the community during major holidays. A New Years’ brunch brings up to 450 guests each year.

Veteran’s Day offers a special brunch to those who have served the nation in the armed forces.

Now the restaurant and bar provide the food and drink for scheduled entertainment throughout the week, designed to reach everyone from the golfers and intimate diners to whole families.

For the golfers and adults, a full bar has been created adjacent to the restaurant and upstairs from the golf shop. Happy hours are held daily from 2 to 6 p.m.

For the family there is live entertainment Thursday and Friday evenings. There is a Sunday karaoke and the country club opens its large swimming pool to families for weekly pool parties during the summer for a $2 entry fee. A DJ is on hand to provide music and the restaurant has food to order. Pool drinks are offered at reasonable prices.

“I worked to have pool parties to provide kind of a resort type offering for the area. There was nothing like that here,” said Shalizi. “We have been doing this, every summer for

the past three years. Last week we had 60 people come to the family oriented party. It is open to all ages.”

The well-crafted menus for breakfast, lunch and dinners highlight the talent of Chef William Ramsey, Sous Chef Josh Schroeder and line cooks Ryan Szmurlo and Scott Gutcher.

Some of their most popular dinner menu entries include: Braised Beef Short Ribs (18.95), Hand Battered Calamari (10.95), Wonton Tigers (8.95), Cedar Plank Salmon, doublestack meatloaf (13.95) and Saffron Scallops (19.95).

For a delicious lunch, the following popular dishes are offered: six salads, including the favourite steak and mushroom (12.95); Pub Style Fish and Chips (13.95); Barbacoa or Sirache Shrimp tacos (8.95) or others to order; Sandwiches like the always popular Club (10.95) to the tasty Firecracker Shrimp Wrap (9.95).

There is an extensive lounge menu for lunch or dinners and popular breakfasts.

Breakfasts include everything from the simple two egg, bacon or sausage with hash browns (5.95) to the big Town and Country Breakfast that includes poached eggs, English muffins, Canadian bacon and Hollandais accompanied by a country fried steak covered with sausage gravy over a biscuit. (13.95).

A Brush With Kindness Ambassador Award winners Jerry Peterson and Catherine Jacobsen with HFHIV Volunteer Coordinator Alesia Strachan.

LAKE ELSINORE – Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley celebrated its most diligent volunteers, sponsors and donors with a dinner, awards ceremony and heartfelt gratitude Aug. 10, at the Diamond Club at Storm Stadium.

“Volunteerism and philanthropy are the cornerstones of our work here at Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, so whether you volunteer, you donate, you sponsor or are a partner, or attend one of our events, or shop or donate to our ReStore, we couldn’t do what we do without you,” HFHIV Executive Director Tammy Marine told the crowd of more than 100 people. “And I speak for all of our staff and all of our board of directors when I say thank you for everything you’ve done.

She applauded County Supervisors Kevin Jeffries and Chuck Washington, Debbie Herrera and Darrel Connerton from the Office of California State Senator Jeff Stone, Deni Horne from the Office of CA State Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, Councilman Michael McKraken from the City of Temecula, Councilman Greg August and Councilwoman Lesa Sobek from the City of Menifee and Lake Elsinore’s City Manager Grant Yates and Public Information Officer Nicole Dailey.

The Tax Lady – Employees vs. Subcontractors Karyn Vaughn, E.A. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

My last column discussed the steps necessary when a business hires employees. I promised that I would expand on the subject of employee vs. subcontractor, and so I shall.

It is tempting to try to avoid

the payroll taxes associated with an employee, but be careful. It is more expensive to misclassify an employee as a subcontractor – to the tune of all back payroll taxes plus a 100 percent penalty!

First, we must define a subcontractor. The IRS uses three factors to determine if a worker qualifies as a subcontractor. These are behavioral control, financial control

and type of relationship.

Behavioral control looks at facts that show whether the business has a right to direct and control how the work is done, through instructions, training or other means. The more control the business exercises over the worker, the more likely he is an employee.

Financial control includes several tests such as whether the worker has expenses of his own, how the business pays the worker and the extent to which the worker can realize a profit or incur a loss. Hourly or salaried pay arrangements and employer-paid expenses point to an employee classification. By-the-job pay where the worker pays his own expenses indicates a subcontractor. Also important is whether the subcontractor has the potential for profit or loss and whether he makes his services available to other businesses.

Type of relationship will cover factors such as written contracts describing the relationship, the availability of the worker to other businesses, benefits paid

on behalf of the worker and permanency of the relationship. The State of California adds another factor: if the worker is employed in the construction industry, he must possess a valid contractor’s license.

If the worker does not clearly fall into the category of a subcontractor, he is automatically an employee and must be treated as such for tax purposes. Contrary to popular belief, there is no exception for part-time workers, those paid less than $600 per year or seasonal or occasional workers.

Once you determine that you have a subcontractor relationship, have your sub complete form W-9. This contains the information necessary for you to issue forms 1099 at year end.

Requesting this information up front assures you have what you need to file your 1099s as well as assuring all parties are on the same page about the nature of the relationship.

Mail 1099s to the recipients by January 31 of the following year and file the forms with IRS. There is an exception for subcontractors

who are corporations: no report is required. There is also an exception for those to whom you paid less than $600 over the course of the tax year.

The main caution is to be sure that your subcontractors are properly classified before work commences, then collect all information before payments are made. As always, careful observance of the rules is key to keeping your business on the right side of the IRS. Karyn Vaughn is an Enrolled Agent and business consultant.

How to find the right financial advisor for you Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

If having a dedicated professional to help you manage your money sounds appealing, consider looking into a financial advisor – regardless of your income. There’s no substitute for financial education but an expert advisor can help you with your financial goals.

There are many kinds of advisors who are trained to help you with many different aspects of your finances. Here are some of the most common ones: Financial counselors work with you collaboratively to help you identify goals and potential solutions to your personal financial problems. They can help you understand complex monetary issues and improve how you manage your money. Consider finding a certified financial or debt counselor to fit your needs through nonprofit organizations like the Association for Financial Counseling and Planning Education(AFCPE), or National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC).

Investment advisors can provide a wide range of services, whether it’s helping you plan for your retirement or advising you on how to manage your investments. You pay for their services with either a flat salary or a percentage (typically 1 percent) of the assets they manage for you. To learn about the basics of investing and investment products, visit the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Investor website.

Broker-dealers or stockbrokers do many of the same things that investment advisors do, but it’s important to note that their job is to persuade clients to buy or sell financial products such as bonds, stocks and ETFs. Unlike investment advisors, they are paid on commission – the more transactions you make, the higher their pay. For detailed resources and advice for investors, visit the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) website.

Tax advisors or tax preparers are specially trained in tax law and work to make sure everything goes smoothly when tax season rolls around. They ensure you pay your fair share, but also that you are not paying more than you need to. They are typically paid by the hour or for a flat fee depending on the specific service.

The Internal Revenue Service government website offers indepth advice for choosing a tax

advisor and provides forums to file complaints or reports if any issues arise.

Once you’ve determined the kind of financial advisor you would benefit most from, make sure you find the right one by considering these seven tips: Check their credentials. When your money is at stake, it’s crucial to make sure your advisor is accredited and legitimate. If you’re considering a potential stockbroker, FINRA has a search tool that allows you to see a broker’s employment history, licenses, complaints against them and more. You can also search for information on investment advisors on the SEC government website.

Understand the differences between advisors held to a fiduciary or a suitability standard. Investment advisors held to a fiduciary standard are legally obligated to act in your best interests. Advisors who are registered to provide services under a suitability standard are obligated to choose investments that are suitable for you. However, this doesn’t mean that advisors who work under a suitability standard are not good options – regardless of which standard they’re held to, advisors with integrity work for your best interests.

Consider how they make their money. Depending on the type of advisor, the way they get paid can be critical to consider. For example, investment advisors that are paid at a flat rate are considered preferable to those paid on commission, since advisors paid on commission may have an incentive to advise you to invest in certain companies, even if it’s against your best financial interest. Fee-only advisors are often held to a fiduciary standard, while commission-based advisors usually work under a suitability standard.

Get to know your potential advisor. Beyond competence and integrity, make sure you get along with your financial advisor. Personal finance can be a sensitive and stressful topic, so you want to be able to discuss issues openly with your advisor as they arise.

Ensure advisors operate with transparency. Though ideally you will never need to file a complaint, it is important to ensure the advisors you work with make it easy to do so. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)’s website allows customers who have not been able to file a complaint with a company to do so directly in the CFPB complaint database. The database is open to

Altura Credit Union reports $2.64 Million net income for second quarter 2016 RIVERSIDE – Altura Credit Union recently reported a net income of $2.64 million on assets of $1.199 billion for the quarter that ended June 30. These results compare to the net income of $2.1 million on assets of $804.3 million for the same quarter in 2015.

Through June 30, year-to-date, Altura reported a net income of $5.87 million.

“Our second quarter financial results continue the very positive trend Altura has been experiencing for more than 18 months,” said Mark Hawkins, Altura president and CEO. “Loan production is good, growth in checking accounts is steady and revenue growth is solid. A year after our merger with Visterra Credit Union, merger-related costs are winding down, although we did experience some higher than expected expenses in the second quarter. Importantly, we have been delighted with Member response to the merger,” he added.

Consumer interest in Altura also is at an all-time high.

Hawkins reports that about 1,100 new members have been joining the credit union each month since the start of 2016. “Consumers are looking for an alternative and, so far, they are finding it in us. The lion’s share of these new members are reflective of our region’s Latino population and our region’s youth. A significant portion of these new members are millennials. These new members are drawn to our checking products, such as Nexus Checking. But we also are seeing boosts in ancillary

product sales and interchange income* as well,” Hawkins adds.

As the Inland Empire economy has improved, loan production has as well. “In June, we saw our loan production up on an annualized basis by about 15.5 percent. Yet we are still seeing some caution and members continue to focus on retiring debt as they can,” Hawkins said.

Hawkins also reports that non-interest income growth has been especially strong. “As more Members bring their transactional relationships to Altura, we are seeing growth in Interchange Income*. Members are moving more relationships to us as they realize they can save money compared to other product and service providers,” Hawkins pointed out.

Altura is currently running a loan promotion that, in addition to low interest rates, offers anyone who applies for a new auto loan by Aug. 31, a chance to win a Dodgers’ or Angels’ Loge Party at a home game. “Promotional activities, such as this have been very good at showcasing our products and services to our Members and potential Members, and have helped us achieve our growth targets this year,” Hawkins added.

Altura also reported a Net Worth Ratio of 10.75 percent.

(The National Credit Union Administration considers a net worth ratio above 7 percent to represent a credit union that is Well Capitalized.)

the public, so you can also search for companies you are interested in working with and check the credibility and reliability of their services.

See if you fit the profile of a “typical client.” If you choose to hire an investment advisor that typically works with wealth management clients and you’re asking them to manage a much smaller amount of money, he or she might not be the advisor for you. Ask your potential advisor about the kinds of clients he or she manages money for and whether he or she has experience managing money for someone with similar assets to you.

Decide what their qualifications should be based on your needs.

Depending on what you want your advisor to accomplish for you, decide what you think his or her qualifications should be and see if they match up to your expectations. It is important to

check certifications – for example, Certified Financial Planners (CFPs) must pass a test covering financial categories from retirement to taxes. For more information on financial certifications, check out FINRA’s complete list and explanations of professional designations. Also, search for advisors who have years of experience working with clients.

Bottom line: while there are

many qualified financial advisors out there, it’s important to find the right match for you. Regardless of your income, a good financial advisor can make your life easier and suggest ways to help you grow your money. Hiring one that is not a good fit could complicate your financial situation, so research your options before making a commitment.

Protect Your Retirement against Market Volatility Article 12 – Sept. 22, 2014

As an investor, you’re well aware that, over the short term, the financial markets always move up and down.

During your working years, you may feel that you have time to overcome this volatility. And you’d be basing these feelings on actual evidence: the longer the investment period, the greater the tendency of the markets to “smooth out” their performance. But what happens when you retire? Won’t you be more susceptible to market movements?

You may not be as vulnerable as you might think. In the first place, given our growing awareness of healthier lifestyles, you could easily spend two, or even three, decades in retirement — so your investment time frame isn’t necessarily going to be that compressed.

Nonetheless, it’s still true that time may well be a more important consideration to you during your retirement years, so you may want to be particularly vigilant about taking steps to help smooth out the effects of market volatility. Toward that end, here are a few suggestions: • Allocate your investments among a variety of asset classes. Of course, proper asset allocation is a good investment move at any age, but when you’re retired, you want to be especially careful that you don’t “over-concentrate” your investment dollars among just a few assets. Spreading your money among a range of vehicles — stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, government securities and so on —can help you avoid taking the full brunt of a downturn that may primarily hit just one type of investment. (Keep in mind, though, that while diversification can help reduce the effects of volatility, it can’t assure a profit or protect against loss.)

• Choose investments that have demonstrated solid performance across many market cycles. As

you’ve probably heard, “past performance is no guarantee of future results,” and this is true. Nonetheless, you can help improve your outlook by owning quality investments. So when investing n stocks, choose those that have actual earnings and a track record of earnings growth. If you invest in fixed-income vehicles, pick those that are considered “investment grade.”

• Don’t make emotional decisions. At various times during your retirement, you will, in all likelihood, witness some sharp drops in the market. Try to avoid overreacting to these downturns, which will probably just be normal market “corrections.” If you can keep your emotions out of investing, you will be less likely to make moves such as selling quality investments merely because their price is temporarily down.

• Don’t try to “time” the market. You may be tempted to “take advantage” of volatility by looking for opportunities to “buy low and sell high.” In theory, this is a fine idea — but, unfortunately, no one can really predict market highs or lows. You’ll probably be better off by consistently investing the same amount of money into the same investments. Over time, this method of investing may result in lower per-share costs. However, as is the case with diversification, this type of “systematic” investing won’t guarantee a profit or protect against loss, and you’ll need to be willing to keep investing when share prices are declining.

It’s probably natural to get somewhat more apprehensive about market volatility during your retirement years. But taking the steps described above can help you navigate the sometimes-choppy waters of the financial world.

Protect your tailgate party from pests Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Whether it’s before a football or baseball game, most sports fans share one thing in common:

tailgating. No matter the event or the teams playing in the big game, few things create as strong a sense of camaraderie and community as tailgating. While most fans prepare for the food, drinks, music and

games, many overlook or ignore an ever-present threat of the great outdoors: flies and other pests crashing the party.

When you prepare that mouthwatering tailgate menu of burgers, wings and dips, remember – your guests aren’t the only ones craving the snacks. Flies are attracted to food left out in the open, and they are more than just a nuisance.

Many people underestimate the health threat they pose. Research shows flies are twice as filthy as cockroaches. Each time a fly lands

on food or utensils, it can leave behind thousands of germs that can cause illnesses such as diarrhea or food poisoning.

Despite the contamination risk, most people simply wave flies away and continue eating what they’ve touched. In a recent Orkin survey, 61 percent of respondents said that they would still eat their meal after a fly touched it, but only 3 percent said they would continue eating after a cockroach came in contact with the food.

from flies, follow these tips from Dr. Ron Harrison, entomologist and technical services director for Orkin, a leader in the pest-control industry.

Cover food that isn’t being eaten in tightly-sealed containers, keep dishes as cool as possible and dispose of uneaten items immediately.

Flies are also attracted to odors other than food. Certain fly species can move easily from rotting, disease-laden garbage to exposed food and serving surfaces. To help avoid a fly frenzy, choose a parking space away from trash cans and portable restrooms, empty trash cans near the tailgate regularly and keep trash can lids tightly closed.

Creating an air flow around food at the tailgate may also help prevent invading flies. Like mosquitoes, most flies are not strong fliers and a fan blowing near food may help keep them away.

Enjoying outdoor events with friends and family requires planning. By taking a few simple steps to avoid conditions that help pests thrive, sports fans can enjoy themselves and be free of pest problems.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Avoid these seller mistakes Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As we reach the midpoint for 2015, you’ve decided to finally get your home ready for sale in hopes of still enjoying the spring/summer seller’s market. You’re contemplating what steps to take, what needs to be done and what it’s all going to cost to sell your family home for the top dollar in this hot spring/summer sellers’ market. You want to eliminate stress from the formula, yet just the thought of all that lies ahead is already creating this sinking feeling of despair deep inside of you as the anxiety is already starting to mount.

Don’t worry, read through this list of top 10 items to help you identify these common mistakes and what you can do to avoid them.

Don’t consider a real estate agent who is quick to agree on what price you want to sell your home for. That’s what you don’t want, a “yes man.” Remember, you are going to pay this agent a serious commission for their expertise.

Would you hire a mechanic and tell them how to do your breaks? Do you hire an accountant and stand over their shoulder telling them how to complete a tax form? I think not!

So why would you hire an agent who is quick to accept your price and not offer their expertise? In the business, we call this “buying the listing.” The agent knows that it won’t sell for this price and that they’ll be able to come to you at a later point for a price reduction and you’ll find yourself “chasing the market,” which typically results in an ultimate selling price. Find an agent you trust to honestly advise you and not keep any dirty little secrets.

Educate yourself on the selling process. No one likes surprises when it comes to real estate. Read articles like this one, both online and in print. Gather as much information as you can on the entire process.

Once you think you have an idea of how the process will unfold, discuss the entire process with your trusted agent. Understanding the process and what to expect from each party will go a long way at reducing your stress levels and allow the sale to proceed smoothly.

Preparation is king. There is a lot that goes into getting a home ready for sale. Start with the cleaning, then take care of any needed repairs, update as you can and before you put the home on the market, declutter and stage your home so that

Bill Flegenheimer another family can imagine living there with their personal belongings and not yours.

Cutting corners. OK, time to invest both time and money into making a few needed repairs. Now is not the time to cover things up and start cutting corners with cheap materials or quick temporary fixes.

Duct tape is not your friend. Do the job right and do it with the right products so that the repair will last for years to come.

Watch the calendar. Selling a home is a process that has some very important, even critical dates that must be adhered to. When you are tasked with these responsibilities, you need to get them done and done on time. Your failure to comply may result in the buyer not believing they have to comply with their deadlines and may drag things out as well… or worse, the entire deal could fall out of escrow.

Don’t blame your agent. Your contract is just that – yours. Sure, your agent should go over all of the terms and conditions with you and explain each step of the process along with all relevant dates on the timeline and let you know what to expect. Perhaps they did, and you were just overwhelmed or perhaps they didn’t. Either way, the contract

Lee & Associates negotiates $1.4 Million industrial property sale Angela Duncan. Richard Marsh with Colliers International represented the buyer, Gary & Rebecca Shute.

“This transaction was typical of a buyer coming out of a tax deferred exchange sale and purchasing the property to complete a 1031 exchange. The buyer chose this property due to its long history of low vacancy and an opportunity to raise rents to a market level to improve cash flow,” said Strode.

has your signature on it and you are responsible for its execution. So, pay attention to what it says and don’t ever tell anyone that you “didn’t know.” Dumb is not a pretty look on anyone.

It’s so inconvenient. Seriously, who keeps their home “show ready” day in and day out with the hope that today is the day that the right buyer will show up and make you that great offer? Well it may be, so you need to keep your house ready to show at all hours of the day, every day…on a very short notice.

Remember, the quicker the house sells, the more you’ll typically sell it for and the quicker you no longer have to endure this inconvenience.

Remember, it’s only temporary and there is a great reward once it’s done.

Do you judge a book by its cover? We all do and so will any potential buyers when considering (or not considering) your home.

The judging starts with the photos and videos your agent takes (or has taken) and blasts across the Internet.

If your home is seen poorly by buyers on the Internet, then the odds of a quick sale for top dollar are greatly diminished.

Do you have a phantom house?

If your house can’t be found, at all, on the Internet, then your agent has

really let you down. It’s a fact that today, over 90 percent of all home buyers start their search on the Internet. If a potential buyer cannot find your home then chances are very good that they may never get to see it, let alone write an offer and buy it.

Communication is everything.

Just like every other aspect of our life where we want to find success, selling your home requires a clear channel of communication with your agent. Sure, your agent may have been courting the heck out of you when trying to get the listing, but then once the sign is in the yard and the lockbox on the door it may be impossible to get any sort of response about anything at all.

Citizen and local agencies cooperate to save three newborns ing through the clothing and other donated items, they were able to find the kittens enclosed in a cardboard box. The kittens were so young their eyes had not yet opened; they were dehydrated and hungry. Risinger quickly transported the baby felines to the AFV shelter in Wildomar where Robin Harper, foster animal coordinator for the last two years, syringe fed them. Harper continued this regimen every 2 to 3 hours throughout the weekend.

Two local agencies – Cal Fire and Animal Friends of the Valleys – joined forces to save the lives of three newborn kittens left to die in a locked clothing donation bin in a Temecula parking lot near Margarita and Winchester Roads.

An unidentified woman was in the process of putting donated items into the bin when she heard the distressed wailing of baby kittens deep within the box. She immediately called AFV Animal Control who responded right away. AFV Officer S. Risinger determined the animals were trapped within the locked container. She at-

tempted to retrieve the kittens with a sheet through the narrow opening, but the newborns could not see the sheet and they were too weak to cling to it. The distressed wailing continued to grow louder.

AFV Animal Control Supervisor M. Middleton, who was nearby at the regular AFV Pet Adoption event at PETCO, arrived at the scene. Her attempts to contact the owner of the bin were unsuccessful and she decided to seek the help of Cal Fire units who also happened to be in the area. It was a hot morning and the temperatures inside the container were approaching 100 degrees.

The firefighters had no alternative but to cut through the lock. Search-

AFV employees and volunteers brought the foster mother and orphans together in home. The foster mother accepted the kittens right away, allowing them to nurse alongside her own.

“I am so happy that we were able to get to the kittens on time,” said Risinger, “Especially since I am a cat person, too!”

The kittens are doing well and
