Temecula council race features narrow candidate field, certainty that a newcomer will join the exclusive panel

Kim Harris Special to the Valley News Mayor Alan Long was presented with a petition bearing over 40,000 signatures during the regular Murrieta City Council Meeting on August 19. The petition pledged support in Long’s handling of the immigration issues faced by the city in early July when three buses carrying nearly 150 undocumented immigrants were forced to turn around rather than drop the group for processing at the Murrieta Border Patrol Station.

Tim O’Leary Staff Writer A rare feat will occur in Temecula in November when at least one political newcomer will be elected to the City Council. Three residents are vying for that elusive distinction.

A narrow field of five candidates will compete for three council seats

that are up for grabs at the polls.

But the vast name recognition and political strength of two longtime incumbents – Jeff Comerchero and Maryann Edwards – may keep two of the three open seats out of reach of the challengers.

A recent retirement announcement by Councilman Ron Roberts has set the stage for the election of one newcomer. Roberts’ exodus will also leave big shoes to fill,

as he took office in 1992 and has served a record five terms as Temecula’s mayor.

The three challengers – Angel Garcia, Cecilie Nelson and Matt Rahn – candidly acknowledge that it would be tough to defeat Edwards or Comerchero. But each challenger is upbeat over their prospects of winning a seat at the dais.

Garcia was the lone candidate to identify the need for specific

changes or council actions in a ballot statement. In phone interviews, Edwards and Comerchero rejected many of Garcia’s contentions and said there are no hot button city issues this time around.

The need to raise the abundant funds required to circulate the candidates messages will also factor large in the race. Spending on

Tim O’Leary Valley News staff The little-known story of Nate Harrison – a larger-than-life pioneer figure in Riverside and San Diego counties – unfolded before

an attentive Temecula audience Monday night.

The invite was sent, photographers were on hand, and even Murrieta’s Mayor Allen Long was in route for the next Ice Bucket Challenge. A team of reporters from the Valley News was standing on the doorstep of Murrieta resident Anthony Carbajal’s home, ready to roll when the event came to a halt, frozen without notice.

Carbajal made an ice bucket challenge video that went viral.

In his video, not only did he talk about his family’s battle with the disease known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, he challenged talk show host and comedian Ellen DeGeneres and pop singer Miley Cyrus to take the challenge as well.

Carbajal’s video had caught the attention of DeGeneres’ producers. The ice bucket challenge to DeGeneres was accepted and as a result, Carbajal’s contract stated he could not do media interviews until

his segment on Ellen airs on television, bringing the event scheduled for last Friday to a screeching halt.

As a result, Carbajal’s sister Vanessa spoke for her brother, freezing the interview and Mayor Long’s ice bucket plunge.

Carbajal now has a national platform to raise awareness for ALS and the community is invited to rally behind a neighbor whose family has been suffering for years.

Although Carbajal cannot speak directly with the Valley News this week due to contractual constraints, the story of he and his family’s personal struggle with ALS is one of the reasons his ice bucket challenge has garnered attention in the national spotlight.

Carbajal’s version of an ice bucket challenge included washing a car in his sister’s pink shorts and a red bikini top showing off his sense of humor. Carbajal’s humorous approach seemed to hook viewers

Hard News Closing arguments set in penalty trial of man who killed couple RIVERSIDE - Closing statements are scheduled this week in the penalty trial of a man who joined three cohorts in killing a Marine sergeant and his wife at their French Valley home.

Kesaun Kedron Sykes, 27, was convicted Aug. 5 of the 2008 murders of 26- year-old Quiana Faye Jenkins-Pietrzak and her husband, 24-year-old Janek Pietrzak.

The same Riverside Superior Court jury has since been hearing evidence that it will use to decide whether to recommend that Sykes receive capital punishment or life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Testimony in the penalty trial concluded today. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Christian Thierbach scheduled closing arguments for 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Among the witnesses summoned by the defense was Sykes’ mother, Charlene Patterson of Modesto, who testified last week that her son was a good student and athlete. She acknowledged that he and his four

brothers and sisters experienced some turmoil growing up, and that she lost custody of them for about two years before the family was reunited.

Sykes had no criminal history prior to joining the Marine Corps in 2006. Last year, three members of Janek Pietrzak’s helicopter maintenance squadron at Camp Pendleton -- Kevin Darnell Cox and Tyrone Lloyd Miller, both 27, along with 25-year-old Emrys Justin John -- were convicted of the Oct. 15, 2008, killings. Cox and Miller were sentenced to death, while John received two consecutive life prison terms.

Deputy District Attorney Dan DeLimon said that Sykes conspired to carry out the deadly home invasion, having joined Cox, John and Miller in a similar break-in at an Oceanside residence less than a month earlier.

The prosecutor described Sykes as the “tip of the spear,’’ acting as the point man and leading the way into the Pietrzaks’ two-story

home at 3139 Bermuda Ave., where the defendants believed they would find guns, drawers full of cash and various high-value commodities.

They ransacked the residence for 90 minutes and took advantage of their helpless victims, both of whom were bound, gagged and blindfolded, the prosecutor said.

Quiana Pietrzak was separated from her husband and placed on a table by Sykes, who stripped her and joined Miller and Cox in sexually violating her, DeLimon said.

Sykes’ attorney, Doug Myers, insisted his client never wanted or intended the Pietrzaks to die.

The attorney said that Sykes was not present when the four fatal shots were fired into the victims, having gone outside to finish loading stolen goods into an SUV. The defendants confessed that they were mainly interested in the “stuff’’ they might be able steal from the victims, who had received numerous gifts at their wedding that August.

Child annoyance incident reported near Shivela Middle School in Murrieta Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News A child annoyance incident occurred in Murrieta on Mon., Aug. 18 as a female student from Shivela Middle School was walking home after school.

The eighth grade student was walking down California Oaks Road and turned north on Monroe when the incident happened. As she began walking down the hill near the nature preserve, a truck pulled up next to her. The truck was traveling northbound on Monroe and a male driver slowed the truck to ask the student if she needed a ride.

The student told the man that she didn’t need a ride and continued to walk. The suspect followed her

and asked her to get into his truck several times.

The student told the man she was going to call the police and reached for her cellphone. At that point, the man drove off. The student went home and the incident was reported to the Murrieta Police Department.

The student described the truck as being dark blue with four doors and slightly tinted windows. The suspect was a white male, 20 to 25 years of age, with a light mustache and dark brown hair. The police are actively looking for the suspect and have increased patrols near the school.

“We’re following leads right now and the case is still under investigation,” said Sgt. Daryl Underwood.

incident should contact the police’s 24-hour dispatch line at 696-3615.

The police and Murrieta Valley Unified School District urge parents to teach the following safety guidelines to their children when walking to and from school: Always walk to and from school with a friend, a group of friends or an adult.

Always leave school and go straight home when school is over.

If approached by a stranger, keep walking.

Never let a stranger get too close, whether he or she is in a car or walking.

Never accept a ride or anything else from a stranger.

Never tell a stranger your name or address.

Never go with a stranger for any reason, even if he/she says they know your parents.

Use refusal skills, but keep moving.

If a stranger tries to grab you, yell as loud as you can and run away.

Stick to the same safe route when you walk to and from school or a friend’s house.

Always walk in public places.

Don’t take shortcuts or go into deserted places where other people cannot see you.

Be observant and aware of your surroundings.

Don’t wear ear buds.

Do not text and walk, bicycle, skateboard or scooter.

If you have a cellphone, call for help (911) if you feel scared.

If you see someone bothering a friend, call for help (911).

Never keep secrets from your parents about strangers.

Report any incidents to a trusted adult immediately.

Man poses as alarm company employee to gain entry to homes The public is being warned by the Riverside police department about a crook posing as an alarm company technician to gain admittance to homes.

“The victims told investigators that a man clad in an ADT alarm company uniform showed up saying he was to ‘perform updates’ on their system,” Lt. Bryan Galbreath said.

The property owners allowed the suspect inside, but told police that he only looked around for a few minutes before leaving, never touching the alarm system.

The victims contacted ADT to find out whether a technician had been dispatched to the area and

were told that no one from the company was sent prompting calls to the police department.

Police officials advise the public to guard against future burglaries by keeping the following in mind: alarm companies generally call ahead before sending a technician; employees carry identification, and a property owner should demand to see it before allowing anyone in the home; and call the alarm company to confirm that a technician is supposed to be on the premises.

Anyone who believes they have been targeted in this or a similar scam should call the police, according to Galbreath.

16-year-old boy behind bars after deadly stabbing LAKE ELSINORE - A 16-yearold boy was behind bars today on suspicion of stabbing a man to death in Lake Elsinore, authorities said.

The boy was arrested at 8:30 p.m.

Wednesday, said Riverside County sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Buompensiero, adding that the address was carried out without incident. He did not say where the boy was arrested.

The 24-year-old victim, David

Allmon, was found lying in the driveway of a residence in the 15000 block of Joy Road around 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 2, Buompensiero said. The victim was stabbed at least once and died at Inland Valley Medical Center an hour later.

The suspect was booked into juvenile hall. There was no immediate information on when he will appear in court.

New law affords trafficking victims ‘more protections’ RIVERSIDE - A new law designed to make prosecuting human traffickers less complicated will also make life easier on their victims, Riverside County District Attorney Paul Zellerbach said today.

Zellerbach called Senate Bill 939, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law on Friday, a ``tremendous asset’’ for prosecutors throughout the state. ``Human trafficking is the fastest growing crime in California,’’ Zellerbach said. ``SB 939 will ... make it easier and more efficient to prosecute these types of cases. At the same time, this new law will also provide human trafficking victims more protections under the law.’’

The bill, which goes into effective Jan. 1, was conceived by Supervising Deputy District Attorney Gerald Fineman, a member of Riverside County’s Anti-Human Trafficking Task Force. Backers included the district attorneys of Alameda, Orange and San Diego counties, with Sen. Marty Block, D-San Diego, carrying the legislation. ``Human trafficking is among the most despicable and odious

of crimes because traffickers treat victims as property to be used and sold,’’ Block said. ``Winning the human trafficking war is a priority for me.’’

SB 939 streamlines the process of prosecuting human trafficking cases by treating the traffickers the same way the law treats other serial perpetrators, including child molesters and rapists.

Under the legislation, human traffickers who commit crimes in multiple jurisdictions can be charged and prosecuted in one county, rather than tried in every county they’ve committed a trafficking-related offense, including sex-for-money operations and forced labor.

Holding criminal proceedings at one time, in one place, will also net savings to taxpayers -- and lessen the burden on victims, who often have been moved from one location to another by their captors, according to supporters of the legislation.

SB 939 was unanimously approved by both the Assembly and Senate. No opponents were listed in a Senate Rules Committee analysis of the legislation.

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News California’s State Senate passed a bill last week to return the vehicle license fee (VLF) revenue to four of Riverside County’s newest cities including Menifee and Wildomar. Jurupa Valley and Eastvale were the other two communities that saw funds diverted.

In 2011, the state stripped $14 million in VLF fees that were earmarked specifically for the four fledgling communities.

“The money from these fees was supposed to be secure,” said Wildomar Mayor Marcia Swanson.

Wildomar, which incorporated in 2008, lost 25 percent of its general fund revenue or close to $1.8 million, while Menifee lost

$3.9 million.

“We are hopeful the governor will sign this bill. It passed both houses, the state is healthier,” said Wildomar City Manager Gary Nordquist.

“All the stars seem to be aligned.” said Swanson.

The legislation, now awaiting the Governor’s signature, was sponsored by Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside.

“There isn’t anyone who is against this bill,” said Menifee Mayor Scott Mann. “Two years ago when the governor vetoed the bill I don’t think he realized how important the VLFs were to the new cities.”

Swanson said the money could have been used for public safety services.

“We have the VLF fees for

three years,” said Swanson. “We spent 45 percent of our $8 million budget on emergency services.”

Nordquist said since the city lost the $1.8 million, police response time to secondary calls had been slowed.

The city of Menifee lost almost 15 percent of its operating budget when close to $4 million in VLF fees were stripped from it.

Mann said city council will have to decide on what and where to spend the money if VLF revenue is returned to the city.

“I would like to spend the money on growing our emergency services and hire more city staff,” said Mann.

The governor has until September 30 to sign the bill, which passed unanimously.

Kaveh Engineering & Construction receives Skinner solids handling area rehabilitation contract Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent Kaveh Engineering and Construction, Inc., was the successful bidder for a contract to rehabilitate portions of the solids handling area at the Robert A. Skinner Water Treatment Plant.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California board meeting August 19 saw the approval of a $428,280 contract for the Anaheim company along with the appropriation of $680,000 to cover other associated costs.

The Skinner treatment plant was placed in service in 1976 and can treat up to 630 million gallons per day. The plant delivers water from both the Colorado River Aqueduct and the State Water Project to the Eastern Municipal Water District, the Western Municipal Water District, and the San Diego County Water Authority.

Settled solids which are removed from the Skinner plant’s sedimentation basins and reclamation plants are thickened on-site and are then mechanically dewatered in the Solids Handling Building. The Solids Handling Building was built in 1989 and is an uninsulated structure of corrugated painted sheet metal attached to metal framing. The building houses three belt press units and a polymer delivery system used to aid the dewatering process. The dewatered solids are conveyed to

MAYOR from page A-1 Long, who is a supporter of immigration reform, made the national news for his comments and tough stance on the immigration issue when it landed on the city’s doorstep early last month.

As previously reported, Long had been criticized for his handling of the situation by many who believed his comments incited the protests which caused the buses to turn around. An online petition started by Murrieta resident Nancy Brenner called on the city council to censure Long for violating its Code of Conduct Policies.

Since the petition was launched on July 9, more than 1,700 people had signed their name to it. According to Long, he has since met with Brenner who he said has changed her stance on the issue.

Brenner was unable to be reached prior to press time.

Presented by Lisa Vinton, the new petition pledged support to what was referred to as Long’s “leadership and patriotism” to stand up against the federal government regarding the immigration issue.

“I have been a Murrieta resident for over ten years,” Vinson said.

“As a representative of Operation Stand United I am here to deliver more than 40,000 signed petitions in support of the leadership of Mayor Alan Long.”

Vinson pointed out that many people weren’t aware there was a border patrol station in town until the federal government announced its plan to bring hundreds of undocumented immigrants to Murrieta for processing.

“We also learned this facility was designed to process drug traffickers and was definitely ill equipped to humanely handle the influx of several hundred women and children,” she said. “Many of the city’s residents had con-

an exterior storage and truck loading area adjacent to the building.

The Solids Handling Building also includes a one-ton overhead bridge crane which is used to lift and remove belt press parts for cleaning, servicing, or replacement. The bridge crane’s drive mechanism has deteriorated due to use, and the drive wheels no longer engage the bridge rails evenly which causes the bridge to be misaligned. The crane is also frequently unable to move along the rails.

The storage and truck loading area is uncovered and consists of a concrete pad with curbing on three sides where the dewatered solids are temporarily stored. An adjacent 1,600 square foot asphalt parking area accommodates the haul trucks. Front end loaders scoop the dewatered solids off the concrete pad and dump them onto the haul trucks. The solids being lifted into the truck beds often spill onto the asphalt pavement, which creates the risk of runoff flow into a nearby storm drain during heavy rains.

An operable crane system is a prerequisite for MWD to maintain and repair the belt press units, and drainage and containment improvements to the truck loading area will be required for MWD to remain in compliance with Skinner’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.

In February 2012, the MWD cerns and unanswered questions about the illegal immigrants being brought to and processed in Murrieta.”

Vinton said many Murrieta residents, along with others throughout the nation, are “fed up” with the federal government’s handling of the issue. She went on to say that the current immigration policy is unfair for everyone involved, causing a humanitarian crisis for both citizens of the United States and immigrants, by not providing the necessary resources to handle the influx of immigrants.

“They refuse to come up with a solution, issuing only temporary band aids that will cost billions of dollars and only make the problem worse,” Vinton said. “Our nation can do better but it will take courageous leaders that are willing to take a stand.”

Vinton said the protests in July were never about race, but rather securing the nation’s borders by enforcing current laws.

“It is about anti-illegal immigration and following the rule of law,” said the 2008 Murrieta Citizen of the Year. “These laws make sure our community and our country are safe and secure for those who live here as well as those who want to come here.”

During her nearly six minute speech, Vinton said that those

board authorized the final design of improvements to the solids handling area, and that design work has been completed. The bridge crane will be replaced with a new unit which will have a more robust drive mechanism, drainage will be improved to manage and control storm water runoff, and the asphalt pavement will be replaced with a concrete containment pad, sump, and curbing.

The engineer’s estimate for the contract was $552,000, and on May 12 the project was advertised for bid. Bids were opened June 24. Kaveh had the lowest of the three bids.

MWD staff will handle inspection services and other oversight of the contract. The $600,000 appropriation also covers $88,920 for MWD construction support which will include removal and reinstallation of the existing piping and pumps and the isolation and dewatering of the solids handling equipment, $76,800 for construction inspection, $36,500 for submittals review and record drawing preparation, $34,650 for project management and contract administration, $5,000 for materials and supplies associated with the MWD work, and $10,000 for contingencies.

The improvements are scheduled to be complete by June 2015.

To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com. who came to town in protest of the federal government’s plan attempted to turn the issue into something that fit into their own personal agendas.

“It is also unfortunate that many from outside of Murrieta came and displayed behavior that is contrary to what we in Murrieta stand for,” she said. “Like you, Mayor Long, we do not support the disgraceful behavior that outsiders displayed on the protest line. We only want to be heard and be able to speak freely and be able to exercise our Constitutional rights peacefully.”

Vinton said that while many politicians run from the immigration issue, Long showed courage and leadership by calling out the deficiencies of the federal government and supporting the right to be heard as citizens of the United States.

“We’re proud to have leadership in our community that is not afraid and is instead willing to stand up for our community and our nation,” she said. “Mayor Long, you supported us in the shot heard around the world. Today we support you as a courageous and exemplary leader.”

Long said while the board couldn’t act on anything he was “deeply touched” and appreciated the accolades given him by the group.

Transportation plays a big role at home and regionally Mayor Scott Mann City of Menifee While serving as Mayor, I often find the opportunity to serve our community on issues of regional and national significance. Menifee is part of a much larger region which includes all of Riverside County and we are faced with large scale challenges that cross city boundaries.

Transportation stands out as a prime example of a critical regional need that can make our community stronger by providing infrastructure to serve residents and attract new employers and jobs.

In Riverside County, transportation policy and funding decisions are made by the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC). In a county with a population of more than two million people covering more than 7,000 square miles, it requires a great deal of collaboration with numerous stakeholders.

RCTC provides an opportunity for success by ensuring that every city has a seat on the commission along with the County Supervisors to ensure that we are building a transportation system to take us well into the 21st Century. I have the honor of representing Menifee

DROUGHT from page A-1 fees and fines for wasting water.

The move comes about due to historic drought conditions currently being experienced throughout the state of California.

“This decision is not easy, but it is necessary,” EMWD President Phil Paule said in the press release issued late last week. “Our customers must view this as a call to action and take the necessary steps to reduce water consumption.”

Under the new rules, variances to fill swimming pools and establish new landscaping are eliminated as are variances for leaks that are not repaired within 48 hours.

EMWD has previously granted variances for establishing landscaping or filling swimming pools by offering a temporary increase

on RCTC, a unique agency of only 45 employees who are delivering billions of dollars in projects.

If you’ve traveled anywhere along our freeways recently, you’ve noticed the unprecedented level of construction almost everywhere.

We have already seen the I-215 widened to the South of us and the same improvements are being built all the way to Nuevo Road. Similar work is taking place on the I-215 north of Riverside, on Highway 91 and millions of dollars are being made available to local jurisdictions to build regional projects such as the upcoming work on the I-215/ Newport Road Interchange.

In the area of providing transportation choices, Metrolink trains will soon be traveling along the train tracks that run by the I-215 and will include a station on our northern border with Perris. By the end of I-215, those of you who commute to jobs in Riverside, Corona, Orange County or Los Angeles will be able to hop on the train at our local station and leave the driving to someone else.

In Riverside County, we are able to do all of this with the help of Measure A, our voter-approved, half-cent, county sales tax which can’t be raided by Sacramento or Washington. It’s local revenue that

pays for local projects and creates local jobs.

Moreover, by working closely with my colleagues on the commission, we can shape and improve public policy. For example, transportation projects take too long to build because of duplicative environmental reporting requirements.

By working with my colleague from San Jacinto on RCTC, we co-authored a resolution with the mayors of Los Angeles and Sacramento to make changes in federal law to streamline the environmental process. Congress must still act, but our experience with RCTC provided us the opportunity to make a positive change on a national level.

Certainly we need to do more.

I will be tireless in advocating for more transportation funding and projects that make sense for our community and the entire county.

The City of Temecula announced the re-launch of the fall session of the Global Citizens Viticulture/ Hospitality Vocational Training Program on Tuesday. The program’s objective is to increase employment opportunities for individuals with special needs.

Attendees will be equipped to achieve independence through meaningful work, recreation and community involvement. Students will exit the program with a certificate in customer service, a food handler’s license card, knowledge in viticulture, and new and/or enhanced skills that will have prepared them for a job.

As the self-proclaimed heart of Southern California wine country, the city collaborated with Spero Vineyards to design the Global Citizens Viticulture/Hospitality Vocational Program. This specialized vocational program will teach basic computer skills, local vineyard history, hospitality, and customer service skills in addition

to the agriculture that is a part of the wine making business.

“Among many of our programs, this is another great program we can be proud of. Our ultimate goal is to reach the business community, raise awareness and sensitivity towards the employment of people with disabilities; and identify jobs so that our youth can contribute and be productive members of society,” said Mike Naggar, a Temecula City Councilmember.

It is estimated that 80 percent of people with disabilities are unemployed; and of those with jobs, only 20 percent have full time employment. This is due, in part, to gaps in services and the lack of opportunities for inclusion and accommodations on the job.

Students will be performing their first field experience for the Fall Session at Spero Vineyards which will include harvesting, cutting, pruning, sorting, and cleaning grapes. For more information about the program, call (951) 693-3902.

in the customer’s Tier 2 allocation in EMWD’s allocation-based rate stricture. Under the new regulations, customers can still use the necessary water but will likely go over their water budget, resulting in a higher price point.

Under Stage 3a of the Water Shortage Contingency Plan, customers who are identified as having wasted water will receive a warning letter from EMWD. Following one warning letter, fines will be instituted, starting at $25 for residential customers and $100 for commercial customers.

EMWD staff must witness the second violation for a fine to be issued. The District is adding temporary staff to help customers curtail water waste.

EMWD uses a tiered rate for billing that consists of two ele-

ments, indoor usage and outdoor usage. Under the tiered rate system, usage allows for 60 gallons per person per day. As water is used, billing units are charged the Indoor Use Rate or until a customer reaches the maximum number of billing units in their indoor water budget.

Once all indoor water budget units are used, billing units are charged the Outdoor Use rates, usually billed at higher than indoor rates.

Outdoor water budgets are based on the amount of water required to maintain a property’s irrigated, or grassy area. The number of billing units will vary monthly depending on weather information that has been gathered throughout the service area. For example, customers will receive more water in the summer for outdoor water budgets than in the winter.

Rates, in Murrieta for example, range from $1.727 per billing unit in tier 1, considered normal usage, to $10.361 per billing usage in

tier four, or wasteful water usage category.

“We are asking our customers to be responsible for their usage,” Paule said. “Basic steps such as ensuring sprinkler systems are not watering sidewalks are vital to preventing water waste. In the middle of one of the worst droughts in our state’s history, allowing irrigation systems to send water flowing down the street is no longer something we can turn a blind eye to.”

The action is a historic one, EMWD –Riverside County’s largest water agency – has never before moved to Stage 3 of its Water Shortage Contingency Plan.

In January, California Governor Jerry Brown pled with residents to reduce water consumption by 20 percent though recent reports show that most water districts failed to meet that decrease. Actual numbers show that consumption was only lessened by about five percent forcing the state’s hand to pass emergency regulations earlier this summer.

To comply with the State Water Resources Control Board’s recent call to action, EMWD is asking its customers to reduce their outdoor irrigation. EMWD’s Water Use Regulations also require customers to water during nighttime hours and eliminate runoff.

For those looking to make a change to the way they use water, EMWD has a plethora of programs designed to assist customers. Information on the new regulations as well as rebates on everything from commodes to grass removal can be found on the company’s website at www.emwd.org.

For more information on the drought, water conservation and the new regulations visit www. emwd.org or www.saveourh2o. org.

To report suspected water waste, customers are asked to contact EMWD’s Conservation Department’s Water Waste Hotline at 951-928-3777, ext. 3306.

Foundation meets needs of orphaned, foster children Kim Harris Special to the Valley News Natalie Shadle says she’s always had a soft spot in her heart for children, so it’s no surprise this college student puts children in need at the forefront of her nonprofit organization, Rose Again Foundation.

“I’ve always had a heart for kids, and it’s always been an easy response when others ask whether I plan to work with them in the future,” Shadle said.

In 2012 she and her father, Craig, went on a mission trip to an orphanage in Guatemala City called Dorie’s Promise.

“There we learned of the utter devastation surrounding many of the kids’ lives, but were taken aback as we realized the true joy in their hearts,” she said. “These kids had been abandoned, sold, beaten, found as infants lying in the dump … you name it, it was reality. Yet, before each meal they would all hold hands and sing praises, smiles stretching from ear to ear.”

Shadle said some nights before bed, the children would blast music and everyone would watch, awestruck, as the children bounced, laughed, and danced the day’s troubles away, “as though none of it had ever existed.”

Shadle said she and her father returned home with a new perspective on life. It was this insight into the plight of less fortunate children that led her to come up with the idea to form Rose Again Foundation.

“I’d done some traveling in Europe, Canada, and Mexico before but had never witnessed something as beautiful as this,” she said.

“We realized that these kids had risen out of extreme hardship and turmoil, only because of the way that this specific orphanage provided hands on, nurturing, wholesome family care.”

Shadle said she first approached her father with the idea to begin the foundation after returning from Guatemala. Her goal was to create a foundation which would aid in providing a safe, nurturing, and home-life experience to orphaned and foster children in the area.

She began to put together a team

that she knew could help facilitate her dream of a foundation to help children and families facing hardships here in Southern California.

The team included Wendy Gorham, head of Humanities at Rancho Christian Schools; Rhonda Reinke, former honorary mayor of Fallbrook, retired small business owner, president of S.A.F.E. and Shadle’s grandmother; Craig Shadle the CFO of RQ Construction and president of the Rancho Christian School board; Jeffrey Dixon, a nursing student at California Baptist University and community volunteer; and Kristen Hufford the Marketing Manager for Camp Pendleton and retired marine.

Together the group works to help meet the needs of children in the local community.

“Similar to the children in Guatemala, we wanted to help children here, in a sense, rise again from the hardship that has swallowed up their histories,” Shadle said.

“Hence, our name became Rose Again.”

To help support the less fortunate children within the local community Shadle has enlisted the help of her friend, Temecula resident, Xenia Martinez.

Now 19, Martinez, who competed on Blake Shelton’s team during season one of the hit NBC television show “The Voice,” will headline a concert in October to raise funds for the nonprofit.

Martinez, who was only 16 when she competed on the show, finished second on Blake’s team but was eliminated in the semi final rounds.

Her second EP, “Artemisa,” titled after her grandmother, is set to be released later this fall.

Rose Again foundation is currently looking for sponsors for the Oct. 11 concert event also featuring local favorite Dulaney & Co. Sponsorships range in price from $1,000 - $3,000 and can be purchased online by contacting board secretary Rhonda Reinke at roseagainfoundation@gmail.com or by calling (951) 970-2518.

Tickets are $18 and on sale now.

They can be purchased online at www.RoseAgainFoundation.org.

Reserved table seating is available.

Concert goers are invited to purchase additional tickets for use by foster children and to bring along a book to donate to the cause.

Local Local leaders protest Mexican President’s visit to state capital Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Political figures throughout California including Riverside County are up in arms over Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto’s visit with Governor Jerry Brown on Tuesday. Nieto was in the United States on a two-day trip to California, traveling to Sacramento to meet with lawmakers and deliver a speech to the Legislature.

The visit by Nieto is upsetting many government officials who are demanding Nieto free a member of the United States military who has been sitting in a Mexican prison for close to 150 days.

PIONEER from page A-1 an unblemished, panoramic view of southwest Riverside County and northern San Diego County.

It is a story that owes its telling to a wildfire, and one the protagonist himself would certainly have relished telling.

The presentation, which attracted about 70 history buffs and other audience members, focused on a Renaissance man who escaped slavery and headed west. Harrison eventually settled near the top of Mount Palomar, where he built a life as a homesteader, hunter, horse trainer, shepherd and shearer, storyteller, farmer, friendly hermit and tourist attraction.

“He became somewhat of a mythical figure in northern San Diego County and Riverside County,” said archaeologist Shelby Castellis, who gave the hour-long presen-

The City of Menifee unanimously passed Resolution No. 14399 calling upon President Barack Obama to intervene with Nieto for the immediate release of USMC Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican jail.

“Mr. President, bring our troop home,” wrote Menifee Mayor Scott Mann on a public social media page.

“It is a travesty Obama is not getting this Marine home,” said Mann who is also a retired Naval Officer. “Obama released five terrorists for a traitor and we cannot get our Marine home is absolutely wrong.”

Tahmooressi was in San Diego

receiving treatment for post-traumatic stress when he made a wrong turn and ended up at the Mexican border. He informed the border patrol agents he did not want to enter Mexico and he admitted to having three personal firearms that were legally registered in the United States.

He placed a 9-1-1 call to seek help but was informed since he was already in Mexican territory the San Diego authorities could not help him. Since then Tahmooressi has been jailed under what is reported as harsh conditions.

Assemblyman Tim Donnelly refused to have lunch with Nieto and other political figures in

tation. “He was the first multicultural resident of northern San Diego County.”

The photos and information presented by Castellis held many audience members spellbound.

“It’s very interesting,” Jimmy Moore, a past president of the Temecula Valley Historical Society, said afterward.

Moore, a key figure in Temecula’s incorporation nearly 25 years ago, said he had not heard of Harrison before steps began about a year ago to arrange the presentation.

Several other historical society leaders said that the talk fleshed out the figure of a black man who rode a white horse, worshipped at the Pala Mission, frequented Temecula and Murrieta, spoke English, Spanish and Luiseno and became one of the region’s most photographed pioneers.

“I’d heard bits and pieces about Nate Harrison for years, but I’d never been able to pull it all together,” said Rebecca Farnsworth, an author of regional historical books who serves as the society’s program chairperson.

Farnsworth said she began working with San Diego State University about a year ago to schedule the presentation and question-andanswer session.

Harrison had faded into historical lore prior to a 2003 wildfire that raked the slopes of Mount Palomar.

That blaze exposed the foundation of what the property owners believed was Harrison’s square cabin.

The cabin, which featured a design reminiscent of southern slave quarters, was said to have been razed in the 1930s because it had begun to attract squatters and vandals.

A subsequent quest to obtain information on Harrison led the property owner to SDSU, which in turn received permission to excavate Harrison’s cabin, patio, workshop and orchard.

SDSU students spent four summers there excavating large chunks of the site down to depths of three to five feet. The site is about threequarters of a mile from the nearest road in a heavily-wooded, difficultto-find- part of the mountain, Castellis said.

They also gathered, from public records and other sources, 49 historical photographs of Harrison and 87 documents that told of him or revealed personal information.

The excavations netted more than 6,100 artifacts – many of them just pieces of larger objects – from Harrison’s life on the mountain from the early 1890s until 1919, when he became gravely ill and friends led him down the mountain.

He died a year later and was buried in a pauper’s cemetery.

Harrison claimed to reach the age of 107 before he died, but some sources say that might have been exaggerated by two decades or more.

The site’s artifacts include a tobacco tin, nails, alcohol and medicine bottles, four coins, a Christian cross, Luiseno cultural items, ceramic dishes, silverware, suspender clasps and shards of an intricately-carved pipe that was costly to obtain in its day.

Castellis said Harrison’s origin is unknown. He frequently said he was born in Kentucky, but stories of his path west may have been laced with embellishment. He apparently told varying accounts of floating down the Mississippi River and traveling west on a wagon train.

He appeared in San Diego County census counts in 1875, married a Luiseno woman and settled in her tribal lands in the Rincon area. He moved to Palomar’s slopes after his wife died, and he homesteaded near a spring that was one of the few water sources in a vast area.

Tourists en route to a resort at the top of the mountain would frequently stop by Harrison’s cabin and listen to his stories as they and their horses drank their fill at the spring. He boasted of serving mountain lion jerky and adding lizards to his coffee grinds to add to the flavor.

“He was definitely well known and well liked in the Luiseno and Pala communities,” Castellis said.

“He was a good cook, and he knew a lot about Temecula.”

Sacramento, “I won’t be dining with Tahmooressi’s captors,” Donnelly told Fox News in a televised interview with Fox News Anchorwoman, Greta Van Susteren. “I will be outside in the streets protesting you (Nieto) along with 500 to 1,000 Americans who want to see our Marine return home.”

Donnelly said he has been getting thousands of calls and emails to his office once people heard he and other politicians are protesting Nieto’s visit.

“Tahmooressi is not a criminal he made a mistake,” Donnelly said.

Archaeologist Shelby Castellis points to the slideshow screen telling of their finds during the Nate Harrison cabin excavation on Palomar Mountain.

Travelers and tourists passing through Palomar Mountain would stop at Nate Harrison’s cabin where he would entertain, tell stories and take photographs with them during the time he lived on the mountain.

Nearly a hundred history enthusiasts attended the Nate Harrison presentation at the Temecula City hall conference center on Aug. 25, 2014. The presentation was hosted by the Temecula Historical Society and the Temecula Valley Museum which coincided with their regular scheduled club meetings.

She said racial and pioneer prejudices as well as changing scientific and cultural views cast Harrison in varying hues during his lifetime and the nearly 100 years that have passed since his death.

He has been alternately described as impoverished or well-to-do, lazy or a hardworking homesteader, self-deprecating or proud, childlike or self-promoting.

“He encountered a huge amount of racism in his life,” Castellis said.

She said he was sometimes referred to as “the first white man on the mountain.”

lendez went on the Neil Cavuto Show and Carlos Amezcua on KEIB-AM 1150 Monday to discuss her own California State Resolution calling for the release of Tahmooressi.

Nieto’s trip to the Governor’s home came less than a month after Brown visited Mexico City on a four-day trade mission.

Menifee passed Resolution No. 14-399 calling on President Barack Obama to intervene with Nieto for the immediate release of Tahmooressi on August 20.

“We hear about going to bat for illegal aliens and we don’t go to bat for one of our Marines, it isn’t right,” said Mann.

traditional themes, incorporated colorful characters and animals, and included ample exaggeration – were typically adapted to his individual audiences.

A written account of Harrison’s era described the protocol for visiting the homesteader at his perch by saying: “Everyone brought donations to the old negro when they came up the mountain.”

Castellis said several of the SDSU graduate students wrote their final papers on the excavation project, and a display of materials has been created at SDSU. The archives from the excavation are housed at the university library, and interest in Harrison and his life and times has not ebbed, she said.

The students have not been back to the site in years, she said, because the Palomar Mountain property slipped into foreclosure and they do not know who currently owns the historic site.

“People were talking about Nate Harrison long before the (excavation) project,” Castellis said. “Now it’s been over 100 years and we’re still talking about Nate Harrison and the first non-Indian to live on Palomar Mountain.”

Vaping, the new crave?

Ashten Dreyer Valley News Intern Everyone has witnessed it recently. It’s been seen it many places matter-of-fact; out on the corner, on a lunch break, and even indoors.

People walk past it bracing for the incoming familiar scent of cigarette smoke – instead there is a whiff of something… fruity?

This alien practice goes by the name of vaping. Vaping is done by the use of an e-cigarette, or electronic cigarette.

These e-cigs are battery operated. The cartridge inside heats up so that the “juice” – a liquid concoction of vegetable glycerin, propylene glycol, assorted flavorings, and ultimately, nicotine – is vaporized, producing an aerosol almost identical to smoke.

Have long-time cigarette smokers finally received the answers to their prayers? Kelsey Rupe, staff member at Vape Krave in Murrieta, believes so.

Billy Warren, manager at Vape Krave in Murrieta, exhales a large cloud of vapor. Warren, who quit smoking tobacco a couple years ago says the best part about vaping compared to tobacco smoke is, ‘staying healthy.’

“It’s a healthier alternative, and you don’t smell like an ashtray,” she said.

And healthier alternative it seemingly is proved to be. A single lit cigarette produces over 7,000

chemicals, with 69 of them proving to be cancerous. While vape juice contains nicotine – which makes it addicting – it also doesn’t have arsenic, formaldehyde, or carbon monoxide in it. There is also have the option of choosing the amount of nicotine added to the juice, which generally come in low, medium, and high levels.

An added bonus for switching to vaping is the money one can save. An average smoker spends about $2,000 on packs of cigarettes a year; while a basic e-cigarette starter kit costs around $40, which only needs the cartridge – costing around $5 for an entire pack – changed after about 300 uses or “puffs.”

Avid vapor, Justin Shelton, claims he has never felt better after switching to e-cigarettes, and highly recommends it to anyone looking to make the change.

“I like to go hiking, you know, be out and about. I had started to cough a lot, and I knew it was time to do something,” he said. “I tried the patch for a while, and it didn’t really work for me. One of the hardest obstacles about quitting smoking is breaking the whole hand-to-mouth habit, and vaping satisfies both that and the nicotine aspect.”

With the tremendous surge of growth in the vaping industry since it was first introduced in 2007, and over 10 local vape shops popping up in the valley recently, the question has to be asked, “Is this just a trend, and will the hype dwindle in years to come?”

Shelton, on the other hand, disagrees.

Local COUNCIL from page A-1 some past individual council campaigns has approached $30,000, and the cost of mailers, web sites, advertising and social media can quickly add up for candidates.

“I think my chances are just as good as anyone else’s,” said Garcia, a business and marketing consultant who was edged out by a trio of incumbents when he ran for a Temecula school board seat four years ago.

Along those lines, Nelson said she will take all the steps needed to ensure victory.

“I’m not entering this lightly,” said Nelson, a Temecula-area Realtor.

Rahn, a key figure in a decade-long development clash, said he is optimistic about November’s outlook.

“I have to say, it’s looking pretty good,” said Rahn, who splits his time as a university academic and research director and the owner of a company that consults on land use planning and policy issues.

At least one of those challengers will crack into an exclusive group.

The council – despite decades-long growth and traffic issues – has had few new faces since Temecula became a city in December 1989 and roughly quadrupled its population.

As nearly 45 candidates can attest, defeating Temecula council incumbents has proven to be an almost impossible task.

In all, just 13 people have served on Temecula’s five-member council over the city’s history. On the flip side, 44 other residents have lost one or more council races, according to city records.

At the time of the Nov. 4 election, the five current council members will together have served more than 65 years, according to city records.

Only two incumbents – Karel Lindemans and Sam Pratt – have lost a re-election bid since Temecula became a city.

Lindemans was elected to the first council when Temecula became a city. He failed to win re-election in November 1992, which is when Roberts and Jeff Stone were picked by voters. Peg Moore, another member of the original council, did not seek re-election then because she planned to move out of state.

Lindemans returned to the council in November 1994. He served for another five years before opting not to seek re-election and move to the Palm Springs area. He eventually died there. Lindemans’ exit was followed by the council arrival of Sam Pratt, an equally-colorful political presence.

Pratt served one quixotic term on the council before he lost his reelection bid in November 2003. He moved out of state two years later to live near relatives.

Stone was later elected to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, a post he still holds. Roberts continued to serve on the council, and in July announced that he would not seek re-election.

In recent years, Roberts, Comerchero, Edwards and other incumbents have deftly defeated a string of challengers that included several high-profile business and community leaders.

Comerchero served on the city’s Community Services Commission for about four years before he was elected to the council in 1997. He has served three terms as mayor, a largely ceremonial post that rotates within the council.

Comerchero is 67 years old and married with two sons. He works as a development executive for a branch of Rancon Real Estate. His city biography lists more than two dozen government or community leadership roles. It also cites about a dozen key objectives that he has helped achieve or are part of an ongoing process.

In his candidate statement, Comerchero cites the city’s high quality of life and low crime and unemployment rates. The statement also points out an array of Temecula traffic improvements, its new hospital, a pair of museums, a community theater and scores of parks and other public amenities.

“This takes a conscious effort and our success is something to be proud of,” Comerchero declares in his candidate statement.

In a telephone interview, Comerchero said he wants to remain involved as a pair of freeway improvement projects unfold and a sprawling development plan west of Old Town winds its way through the approval process.

“Every time I think about not running, interesting things start to happen,” Comerchero said. “I want to see them through. I want to leave when the job is finished or at least close to it. I’m not quite ready yet.”

Edwards is the only current council member to shift from another elected panel.

Edwards was an appointed member of Temecula’s Traffic / Public Safety Commission from 1998 until 2001, which is when she was elected to the Temecula Valley Unified School District governing board. She was appointed to the council in 2005, and has repeatedly won re-election.

Edwards, 59, is winding down her second term as mayor. She has lived in Temecula since 1988, is married and has children and one grandchild.

She works as the chief executive of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southwest County. Her city biography lists about 20 public and community service posts she has held. It also cites

several awards and key objectives and accomplishments over the years.

In her candidate statement, Edwards notes her pride in “the safe, beautiful and vibrant city that Temecula is today.”

Edwards, too, identifies some development plans and other goals that she wants to bring to fruition over the next four years.

“There are so many exciting things going on,” Edwards said in a recent telephone interview.

Garcia graduated from Great Oak High School and he describes himself as a 20-year Temecula resident who graduated from the University of California, Riverside, with a bachelor’s degree. He ran for the school board in November 2010, but lost when voters returned three incumbents to their seats.

His candidate statement lists four priorities. He has targeted “City Council perks” and calls for term limits and the elimination of a pair of council reimbursement practices.

He is calling for council members and key staff members to periodically hold neighborhood meetings to gather resident input. He calls for a “complete and thorough audit” of the city’s employee pension obligations.

Garcia said some of the city’s growth over the past two decades has been positive, but some has not been beneficial. His candidate statement stresses the need for “common sense leadership.”

In a telephone interview, Garcia said he is a part owner of a marketing and business outreach consulting firm. He is single and declined to

San Diego State University battled plans to open a granite quarry south of the city.

The university, which employs Rahn, frequently complained that the quarry would impact a vast ecological reserve that it maintains along the Santa Margarita River. The development plan evaporated after the Pechanga tribe abruptly purchased the mine site and land around it for $20.35 million in November 2012.

If elected, Rahn would likely have more advanced academic degrees than any other council member in the city’s history. His candidate statement lists his bachelor’s, master’s, law and doctorate degrees. It notes that Temecula “is at a crossroads,” and Rahn said he has the background and the range of training and skills needed to help guide the city over the next 25 years.

Rahn began working in the Temecula area in 2000 when he was assigned to the Santa Margarita reserve and field station. He moved to the city in 2010. He is 39, married, and has a stepdaughter. He said the use of neighborhood “listening sessions” will be a key part of his campaign, and such outings would be continued by the council if he is elected.

Rahn said in a telephone interview that the council has done “an admirable job” over the years. He said he has “tackled some of the most consequential challenges that have faced our region,” and said his unique background can bring new leadership and insights to the council.

“I firmly believe Temecula’s best days are ahead,” Rahn said.

Garcia said he is running to ensure that the city is “accountable, transparent and easily accessible” to its residents and businesses.

Nelson describes herself as a residential and commercial realtor who has lived in Temecula for six years. Before that, she lived in Murrieta and Chicago. Much of Nelson’s candidate statement tells how her business, communications and other skills would be an asset to the council. Nelson also details her educational achievements, which she said includes two master’s degrees and extensive appearances as a moderator, panelist and presenter.

Nelson, 43, said she is married and has no children. She said her work as secretary of the 1,800-home Wolf Creek homeowners association whetted her desire to roll up her sleeves and plunge into city issues and polices. She believes the council has done “a good job” over the years.

“I just like to raise my hand,” she said in a telephone interview. “If there’s something that needs to be done, I raise my hand.”

She said her work in the real estate industry has given her a well-rounded approach toward economics, the importance of good schools, the impact of taxes and fees and the need to carefully plan the future of Temecula’s dwindling open parcels.

“I’m looking for a way to be part of the larger picture,” she said.

Rahn burnished his grassroots credentials during a decade-long fight in which the city, environmental activists, the Pechanga Indian tribe and

ESPN’s Friday Night Fights draw huge crowds to Pechanga JP Raineri/Ardie Crenshaw Sports Writers TEMECULA - Pechanga Resort and Casino is not only a fine gaming establishment, it is also a renowned boxing venue, showcasing world class boxing. On August 22 the casino along with ESPN and Goosen promotions once again brought Friday Night Fights to Temecula. In the main event former world champion Austin ,”No Doubt” Trout, who had been winless in the nearly two years since his surprising upset over Miguel Cotto in 2012, defeated Australia’s Daniel Dawson, in a bout where the former WBA light middleweight champion survived two early knockdowns in order to grind out a hard fought tenround unanimous decision victory.

Friday Night Fights not only featured top boxers, it also showcased developing fighters and last Friday night’s event gave an opportunity to some Inland Empire boxers to gain national exposure and to fight close to home as well.

Fernando Fuentes from Hemet lost an exciting, hard fought bout versus Jaun Funez, in what some considered a street fight between the young featherweight fighters. Fuentes (4-3) scored more early on however Funez (6-0-1, 2 KOs) landed the harder and more accurate punches in the last two rounds. The last round was the busiest of the bout as they fought until the final bell. A draw would have been fair; however one judge scored the contest at 38-38 but was overruled as two judges tallied their scorecards at 39-37 each for Funez giving him an unpopular majority decision.

Temecula’s John Worthy (3-7, 1

Michael Hunter from Las Vegas lands a hard left hook to the chin of Detroit’s Harvey Jolly in a heavyweight bout that Hunter would win in the fourth round.

KO) was over matched and was easily defeated by east coast native Kyrone Davis’ in a middle weight fight. Davis (4-0, 2 KOs) scored almost at will, while Worthy’s best trait was that he could stay upright for all four rounds.

Scores were 40-36 in a lopsided unanimous decision over four rounds.

Joshua Conley (9-0-1, 6 Kos) from San Bernardino was impressive in his contest win by decision over Antonio Urista (5-1, 2 KOs) over six rounds in the junior middleweight division. The

bigger Conley, who is trained by Henry Ramirez (the coach of heavyweight contender Chris Arreola), scored the harder and more precise punches and took the decision with scores of 58-56 and 59-55 twice.

Friday Night Fight’s will return to Pechanga in 2015, while the next big fighting event that will take place in the grand ball room will be the Battle of the Bellator MMA 127 in October of this year. Check out www.

They have good quality food. We always order the same pizza and it’s always really fresh and loaded with ingredients.”

“Golden Boys” concert electrifying Frankie Avalon, Fabian, and Bobby Rydell sing with gusto!

Dick Fox’s Golden Boys – from left, Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, and Fabian.

Nathalie Taylor Special to the Valley News

Nathalie Taylor photo.

Their voices were as vibrant as ever and the concert was electrifying. The years have sharpened their wits and brought something extra to the show – something I don’t remember from thirty years ago – a deeply grateful attitude. This wasn’t just a show, it was a time of giving back to the audience some of what the audience had given them over the years by buying their records, watching their films, and writing fan letters.

The three entertainers are not only friends, but have a shared history. They are all Philadelphia boys.

Avalon and Rydell were actually in a band together before their teen idol days. All three appeared on Dick Clark’s television show, “American Bandstand.” Both Fabian and Ava-

How often does one get to hear three former teen idols in concert singing their hit songs? For me it has been twice. Thirty years ago I saw the Golden Boys – Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell – in concert at the Circle Star Theatre in San Francisco. That night I was completely in awe of their vocal prowess.

On August 3 at Pala Casino Spa & Resort it was déjà vu for me when I saw the Golden Boys in concert once more. The venue held 2,000 seats and was sold out. As I was waiting in line, several people without tickets were turned away. The Golden Boys were still golden!

lon have appeared in films starring John Wayne.

One difference between this concert and the concert thirty years ago was the use of video on two large screens flanking the stage.

Clips were shown of all three on “American Bandstand.” Clips from Fabian’s appearances generated gasps, particularly one showing Fabian attempting to exit a car.

Mad throngs of girls pressed into him – tearing at his clothes. Fabian told the audience that some of the girls would even tear out his hair; and he thought at times he might even be killed.

Avalon’s delightful song, “Beauty School Dropout,” from the film “Grease,” was shown as a clip, generating an energetic response.

Clips from Avalon’s “Beach Party” movies with Annette Funicello also brought claps and cheers from the audience.

Frankie Avalon, Fabian and Bobby Rydell opened with the song “American Bandstand,” which was played on each segment of the fifties television show.

Bobby Rydell was the first to take the solo spot with his million-seller, “Wild One,” followed by the lilting tune, “Forget Him,” that he sang in the same rich, caramel tone that thrilled the audience thirty years ago in San Francisco’s Circle Star Theatre.

generating the loudest response was his #1 hit – “Venus.”

A surprise came when Frankie Avalon introduced the talented drummer who happened to be his oldest son – Frank. The younger Avalon then took to the drums with a rousing solo.

The Golden Boys sang songs as tributes to some of their compadres who are no longer with us. As a prologue to singing an Elvis song, Fabian told the story about the first time he met Elvis. Fabian’s phone rang – it was Elvis – and he said to Fabian, “I’d like to meet you.” Fabian humbly replied, “Why?” Avalon sang a Ricky Nelson song and then shared a story of Nelson’s kindness to him when he first arrived in Hollywood. Avalon didn’t know anyone and Nelson took him home, introduced him to his family, and, from then on, Avalon was no longer alone in Hollywood.

I have attended many concerts in my life, but this had a different aura about it. It wasn’t just a concert with wonderful music, it was a step back in time with three of the most popular entertainers of the late fifties and sixties. It was also a glimpse into the character of each of these talented singers. They were genuinely happy to be there and genuinely grateful for the support of their fans, not just tonight but throughout their long and illustrious careers.

Rydell gestured with outstretched arms when he sang his second gold record, “Volare.” “No wonder my happy heart sings, your love has given me wings... PEOPLE... your love has given it wings.”

A poignant moment came when Rydell shared how his life was saved by an organ donor just two years ago. He challenged the audience to “Be an organ donor – it is the gift of life.”

Before Rydell left the stage he told the audience, “I thank all of you for the Gold records.”

Fabian took the stage with his #3 record, “Tiger,” and the audience went wild. After Fabian belted out his hit, “Turn Me Loose,” he said with a smile, “That was a big hit for me in the 1900s.”

The audience was delighted when Fabian mentioned his famous head of hair, “I miss my pompadour - I have a couch made out of it.”

As he left the stage Fabian waved and said, “God bless you - I love ya!”

In an impressive gesture, which delighted the crowd, Frankie Avalon walked the aisles, singing and shaking hands as he sang his melodic ballad, “Why.” This song was the last #1 hit of the 1950s. Another top-charted song, “Bobby Sox to Stockings,” had the audience singing along with Avalon just as if they were on stage with him. But the song that rang though the large hall

Entertainment

The Movie Review: ‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill for’ Ryan Downs Special to the Valley News A hulking thug out to avenge the death of a woman he spent one night with, a ladies’ man trying to prevent a gang war, and a cop fighting to defend the only innocent citizen of a hellish city. These were the antiheroic centers of Robert Rodriguez’s marvelous 2005 adaptation of Frank Miller’s grim, gritty, blood-spattered comic book miniseries “Sin City.”

Although somewhat forgotten in the superhero-obsessed fandom of the last nine years, the movie was a small hit during its initial run, due in no small part to it’s dark-yet-playful tone and it’s inclusion of one of the greatest ensemble casts in comic book movie history, including an unforgettable appearance by Elijah Wood. There’s no being coy, it’s an awesome movie.

The sequel/prequel/midquel/whateverquel, which snuck into theaters this past weekend amidst surprisingly little fanfare, is something of a disappointment, and not just in terms of it’s box office draw. In fact, it’s somewhat difficult to understand whom the film is directed at.

It would seem, from the lack of advertising and the inclusion of most of the major cast, that the idea is to attract fans of the original. This ignores (as any poor sequel does) that the first film gave each of it’s three stories a proper finale (often ending with the hero dying).

This does not mean a sequel is out of the question, of course. Given that “Sin City” is an anthology, it makes perfect sense to make a new film detailing new characters and new adventures in the setting and style of Frank Miller’s gloriously awful metropolis.

Instead, we are reintroduced to most of the same characters from the original, albeit at different points in time from the original stories and not necessarily played by the same actors. (One character muses at the beginning that without his meds, he “gets things mixed up.” One can relate.) Among them is Josh Brolin as Dwight, in a role that was once played (with considerably more charm) by Clive Owen.

Dwight is a lovesick man who is put in a compromising position by an ex-lover; the femme fatale, and titular (in more ways than one), Dame (Eva Green), making sure the film is not without every noire cliché in the book.

This is not a bad story. Occasionally it’s an engrossing one, but it drags a lot, and ultimately pushes credulity (even for it’s material). Unfortunately, it also seems to be the longest of the three subplots, so it leaves the biggest impression.

The second subplot is also the only one to revolve around a new

character and an original story, both written by Miller specifically for the film. Not coincidentally, it’s also by far the most interesting subplot of the three, involving an impossibly lucky gambler named Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who is trying to make a name for himself in the comic-book world’s most unlucky city.

Maybe it’s Levitt’s infectiously cocky grin, or maybe it’s the fact that he’s the only character that doesn’t solve his problems with guns or fighting or sex, but it should come as no surprise that his story is miles more entertaining than the rest of the movie.

The final story follows Nancy Callahan, the stripper infamously played

by Jessica Alba, on a quest for revenge against the most dangerous man in Sin City, Senator Roarke (Powers Boothe), who had but a cameo in the original, and fortunately gets more attention here. Unfortunately, Nancy’s is the worst subplot of all, and not just because it constantly drags Bruce Willis into unnecessary cameos as a grizzled, angry ghost who can only talk to one character (neither of which is entirely new ground for him, I might add). Aside from polluting the point of Willis’s story in the original, it amounts to little more than a depressing, pointless affair that ultimately ends the film on a sour note.

Don’t be mistaken, there are good things. There have to be with some-

thing this indulgently dour. Amidst all the masculinity and testosterone, the true star here is Eva Green who, despite spending nearly all of her screen time in the nude (which I hardly criticize), and even more screen time chewing the scenery, very nearly steals the show, much as she did with the “300” movie earlier this year (you know, the other pointless sequel to a Frank Miller adaptation).

Also returning are Rosario Dawson and Jamie King while Dennis Haysbert (better known as the Allstate guy) fills in for the late, great Michael Clarke Duncan. Finally, Mickey Rourke, the most welcome reappearance by far, shows up throughout the film as the psychotic, but gold-hearted thug Marv.

“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” boasts the same unique visual and writing style that made the original so great, bolstered here by what is truly some of the best 3D I’ve ever seen in a theater. It genuinely looks like a comic book coming to life onscreen.

However, it also squanders a perfectly good setting and atmosphere on characters we didn’t need to see again, stories that should have been left alone, and an outright baffling canon.

Worth watching on it’s inevitable run on F/X for the hardcore fan of the original. But otherwise this movie, like the city, should only be visited by those who know what they’re in for.

Joanna Pearl EP release and birthday party

Joanna performs a track of her new release.

Chauncy Miller Joanna Pearl, a singer/songwriter is an up and coming artist with an undeniable passion for music. The exciting sound that she has made her own is certain to gain interest from young and old alike. Joanna was born in Illinois, but raised in California and experienced the mu-

Chauncy Miller photos

sic industry early on by dabbling in recording in Nashville. According to her website Joanna has always had a special place in her heart for country music but Joanna describes her sound as a mix between R&B, Soul and Pop. Her intensity for singing stems from being able to live through music and also to tell others about herself through her music.

Joanna toasts to her new EP and all the support she has gotten on her journey.

On Sunday August 24th she held her EP release party at the Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula. The event was intimate because of the undeniable presence of friends and family but there was also an air of superstar status on the horizon. The event also benefited Michelle’s Place, a charity for breast cancer.

Joanna wooed the crowd with her

soulful, heartfelt lyrics and sultry stage presence. There were also performances by Julia Lucius, Gavyn Bailey and The Brewer Boys. The event included a silent auction and prize giveaways. Joanna also gave away copies of her debut EP “Sensitive Material,” gave many hugs and signed autographs until every fan had spoken with her.

It’s about to get a whole lot more harmonious in the Temecula Valley.

Inspired by emotions and their reasoning’s, independent singersongwriter Rob Gregori has opened up about his upcoming pop album “Layer 1”.

So far, Gregori has written twenty-four songs, and each of them will be featured in three different albums in the coming months.

“The first album is called “Layer 1” because it is referring to certain emotions; specifically, the emotions we go through in our day to day lives,” he explained. “It’s generally upbeat, but with some mellow tones as well.”

Gregori first began playing the organ, and then moved on to the piano, he admires Beethoven and Mozart, but what ultimately fires his creativity muse, is something much rawer.

“My muse isn’t any particular

person; it’s more of just love.

Whenever I feel emotion, it really inspires me to write a song about it,” Gregori said. “Love can take a million different forms, from the love that I have for my father, to the love I have for a crush.”

Gregori does, however, have artists today that he very much admires, such as Natalie Merchant, and Peter Gabriel.

“I love the honesty that comes through their music. When you’re writing, it’s easy to embellish what you’re feeling, but it’s surprisingly hard to be honest and not sugarcoat your emotions,” he said.

Gregori’s album “Layer 1” will be available for purchase on iTunes beginning September 19. His upcoming albums include “Layer 2” and “Layer 3” with themes about love and past childhood memories.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Government to seniors, “Use equity to relocate” Lawrence Hilliard and Paul Bandong Special to the Valley News A previous article (Valley News, August 11, 2014), explained the basics of the reverse mortgage to convert unused equity into additional income for seniors. This follow-up article focuses on another part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008, the “Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) for Purchase.”

Section 2122(a)(9) of HERA amends section 255 of the National Housing Act to authorize the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to insure HECMs used for the purchase of a 1-to-4-family dwelling unit.

This provision allows seniors the opportunity to purchase a new principal residence with HECM loan proceeds and make no further mortgage payments. Effectively, with the mortgagor putting as little as 45% down (depending upon their age) the federally-insured lender pays the remainder of the mortgage payments. This makes seniors’ dreams of downsizing without mortgage payments a reality.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Micro-climates, what they are and how to plant for them

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Hello fellow gardeners! Although I have written previously on climate zones and briefly touched on micro-climates in that article, I’m not going to assume everyone read it. I’d like to get a little more in depth with this topic here this week.

So, what is a micro-climate?

To understand this, one must first know that each area in a state is divided into various climate zones.

Temecula is considered Zone 18 – going by the Sunset chart. There is also a USDA chart that puts us at 9a. This is the lowest temperatures for the area. I don’t like to go by the average temps myself, but always pick the lowest – that way I’m prepared.

So anyway, a micro-climate is an area on a gardener’s property that sort of defines that climate zone. In

Warm micro-climate for Bougainvillea created by the stairway.

other words, the gardener is setting the scene and placing plants in areas that they normally would not be able to survive in the climate zone.

Good example – let’s say a gardener just bought a Meyer lemon tree – not just any old lemon but the improved Meyer lemon tree. This

tree might not survive in several climate zones. It could get major frost damage out east towards Anza and could certainly sustain some damage here in the valley if there is a cold winter, and there have plenty of those.

What to do? Well, you can al-

ways run outside in your pajamas and throw a blanket over the entire tree – they’re not that big. Or you can utilize the micro-climates you have available by possibly planting it in front of a south facing wall which will give off heat through the night, possibly just enough to

save your tree. You can still do the blanket thing if you want to be extra safe.

Most properties have several micro climates when one stops to think about it. Don’t have areas with shade? Those areas stay much cooler and allow those shadeloving plants to thrive that normally would keel over out in direct sun.

That’s a micro-climate.

If there is a slope in the back yard, as many locals in tract homes do, the very bottom of that slope is going to be the coldest part on the entire property, so plant accordingly. An apple or peach tree would do fine there, but not citrus or most succulents either. So knowing how micro-climates work helps not only those plants that are tender but can also help those that need more chilling hours if you get them planted in the right spot.

I grow many of my succulents, close to 50 now, in pots. The reason is, during the warm summer, they do great out in my backyard, but come winter, not only is that area shady, but its also very cold, so some of them come into the house – yes, that’s also a micro-climate – and the rest out in front to soak up the sun near stucco walls that absorb the suns heat all day, haven’t lost one yet.

Most tropical plants are tender,

EQUITY from page B-1 Background: The Pew Research Center estimates that 10,000 men and women cross the demarcation line of 65 years old each day in America. This trend is projected to continue for the next 19 years. With more of the population becoming a member of this special class of over 65, the need for options in housing and relocation becomes more critical with each passing year.

The available equity that the senior community has in their homes is over three trillion dollars. This amount represents more financial resources than many countries’ GDP (gross domestic product). Of the forty million seniors in America, 80% own their home and 72% own their home mortgage-free.

The three trillion dollars of equity is a reservoir of untapped resources that could contribute to an expansion of the economy. But the equity is locked away and unused – a homeowner’s bank account that does not allow withdrawals.

Sixty-three percent of seniors have their retirement savings in their home. Only thirty-seven percent have an IRA or 401K account.

Home equity has become the retirement account of most seniors in the United States. But the problem persists, how to tap into the home equity for personal needs or plans to relocate?

Up until the last few years, there were only two ways available. A home equity loan, which requires an employment history, credit score and income verification, leaves the senior with a mortgage on their own money. A second option is to sell the home to repurchase another and become property rich but cash poor.

HERA: In 2008, in the aftermath of the subprime meltdown and bank bailouts,

HECM: In section 2122 of HERA, “Home Equity Conversion Mortgages”, the provision was made to allow seniors to purchase a new home with only a portion of the proceeds of the sale of their current home used as a down-payment, with no monthly mortgage payments for the rest of their life.

“Notwithstanding any provision of this section, the Secretary may ensure, upon application by a mortgagee, a home equity conversion mortgage upon such terms and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe when the home equity mortgage is used to purchase a one to four family dwelling unit, one unit of which the mortgager will occupy as a primary residence, and to provide for any future payments to the mortgager, based on available equity, as authorized under subsection (D)9.” (Sections 2122) The requirements for such a purchase are minimal compared to a conventional home purchase. The individual(s) must be over 62 years of age, live in their new home permanently, pay property taxes, fire insurance, complete HUD counseling and pay any HOA fees. The loan does not require any employment

an important piece of legislation was passed to stimulate home purchasing and increase home refinancing. The Housing and Economic Recovery Act was designed to stabilize the economy by securing home ownership and incentivizing certain types of home purchases.

This legislation has made the reversemortgage option attractive to approximately 500,000 seniors. Many seniors have tapped into their home equity to access a monthly payment stream.

But the reverse-mortgage option alone does not provide the needed alternative that allows the senior to relocate to a new home.

history or FICO scores. It is federally insured (HUD) and AARP approved.

HECM loans are limited to the GSE (Government-Sponsored Enterprise) loan limits, currently $417,000 for a one-unit single-family property. Floor and ceiling loan limits vary by median home prices by area and year and cannot exceed 150% of Freddie Mac national conforming loan limits (maximum is currently $625,500).

At closing, HECM mortgagors must provide a monetary investment which will be applied to satisfy the difference between the HECM principal limit and the sales price for the property, plus any HECM loan-related fees that are not financed or offset by other allowable FHA funding sources.

The government has placed limits on HECM origination fees – capped at 2.0 percent of the maximum claim amount of the mortgage (see a professional for details on these limits). Further, the government prohibits HECM lenders from being associated with any “financial or insurance activity” to discourage “crossselling” or conditioning the HECM on purchase of other financial or insurance products (except as may be customary and normal in a real estate transaction).

In summation: The benefits of such a program are immense and untapped. The senior can relocate to downsize their present dwelling, for example, from a two-story to a single level home. They can relocate to a senior community with desired recreational facilities and activities or a locale that is closer to family and friends.

The “HECM for Purchase” is not a government giveaway or a grant, but a program that allows the senior to use their present equity toward a new home.

Unfortunately, most real estate professionals and senior specialists are unaware of this program that can help thousands of seniors see their dreams come true. Seek out a senior real estate specialist that can inform you of the benefits of the “Home Equity Conversion Mortgage for Purchase” program.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Making the move, what every first time home buyer needs to know peaceful at 11 a.m. when looking at homes with your real estate agent but do you really think it will be the same at 9 p.m. on a Friday night?

When considering a neighborhood, look at the commuter routes you’ll be expected to travel. How easy is it to get on and off the freeway? What about the local stores where you’ll buy your groceries every week…have you walked the aisles?

Little details may not be a deal breaker, but a lot of little negatives can add up to an unpleasant buying experience for years to come.

There is much to know so take the time to figure it out.

John Occhi & Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Buying a home can and should be both exciting and frightening at the same time – buying your first home should be downright exhilarating and simultaneously terrifying. Like so many things we prepare ourselves for in life, taking the plunge and doing it for the first time can leave the hairs on the back of your neck standing up straight while the butterflies are fluttering in your stomach. Like many things in life, once you’ve done it, you’ll feel incredibly proud and awesome.

The key to a successful real estate transaction is, of course, research. The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be. Real estate research takes many forms and all resources should be utilized to help you make the right decision.

Through the course of your research it’s common to change directions and seek something that was completely off the radar when you first started. When starting out you may be thinking that you want a certain style home and end up with something completely different, for one reason or another. You may end up living in a zip code you had never considered…it happens all the time, for any number of reasons.

Wants and needs The process should start very simply with the decision makers creating a wants and needs list. The concept is simple, but the task can be very daunting. This actually can become a living document, one that continues to evolve as additional research unfolds and reveals nuances not before considered.

Start with the basics. How many bedrooms are required? Bathrooms? Garages? Now is the time

to figure out absolute minimum standards for a home that you’ll end up buying. These are items that have zero room to compromise – the lack of any one is a deal breaker. There is no sense looking at a perfect two bedroom home if you have to have space for three children!

Next is your wants. Here is where you get to dream and create a list of every little thing that you would like to find in your new home. Chances of finding them all are slim to none, so here is where you realize that there will be compromise. Don’t depress yourself thinking you are settling if your new home doesn’t have stainless steel appliances and

granite countertops.

R e s e a rc h , re s e a rc h a n d research The three most important words in real estate – research, research and research! Today, homebuyers have the world at their fingertips, via the Internet. Use this valuable resource, research neighborhoods and school districts online. Investigate how cities are run. Understand your property taxes and special assessments for different areas and see how different they can be.

Research goes beyond our laptops and cell phones – get out into the real world and drive the neighborhoods at different times of the week and different times of the day. Sure a neighborhood looks

Are your finances in order?

Ideally, you’ll take the time, six months to a year, before you plan on buying and sit down with a trusted mortgage lender – be it a broker or a loan officer from a bank. Understand what the requirements are for different types of loans. Sure, loan programs change, but the basics are the same. You’ll need a down payment, closing costs, reserves, a good credit score and lots of documentation.

If you know what you’ll need, it’s so much easier to develop a package in preparation for the actual buying process than it is to scramble and try and pull everything together in the last 30 days.

The objective is to be pre-approved for a loan when you’re ready to shop for your new home.

You’ll know what your upper limits are and what your monthly payments will be, as well as understanding the tax implications of owning your own home will be.

Find a good Realtor® Good is a tricky word. Sure, you want them to be professionally competent and involved in the real estate industry. Professional competence is often displayed by the credentials your real estate agent has. A real estate agent who takes the time and spends the money to achieve these credentials is one who is continuing to up their game and stay on top of their industry and chosen niches. Don’t dismiss

the alphabet soup at the end of a real estate agent’s name – rather ask about it.

A good real estate agent should also be actively involved in the local real estate community. When an agent is active and visible, chances are better that they’ll be able to negotiate the best deal for you.

Chances are even better that they may know of properties that have not yet come on the open market – so find out how well your agent is respected by other agents.

Like a good mortgage lender, a good real estate agent will embrace the opportunity to work with you several months before you are ready to pull the trigger and purchase your first home. An extremely valuable service that doesn’t cost a real estate agent anything other than a few minutes to set up is a ‘drip’ notification of homes in the area you think you want to live in. If you want three bedroom two bath homes in a zip code for under $300K, the drip system can send you an email every time a new one comes on the market as well as when one actually sells.

This is so valuable for anyone trying to understand and track market trends. You’ll realistically learn what your money can be expected to buy and you’ll be able to recognize trends in the marketplace, if you study it long enough.

Finding water, a modern challenge Paul Bandong Staff Writer California is in the midst of a severe drought and river resources are dwindling. Many rural homeowners and farmers are concerned about having enough water. Modern technology is now being used to locate subsurface groundwater sources to meet those needs.

According to the California Department of Water Resources, last year closed as the driest year in recorded history for many areas of California. Governor Edmund G. Brown declared a drought state of emergency on January 17, 2014. Governor Brown also recently signed legislation to put a comprehensive $7.5 billion water bond before voters this November.

California’s groundwater provides 30 to 46 percent of the state’s total water supply; some communities in California are 100 percent reliant upon groundwater for urban and agricultural use. The UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences study, released July 15, 2014, stated that it “found that the drought – the third most severe on record – is responsible for the greatest water loss ever seen in California agriculture. Groundwater pumping is expected to replace most river water losses.”

Agriculture uses 80% of the California’s developed water supply. The study also found that direct costs to agriculture total $1.5 billion with net revenue loss about three percent of the state’s total agricultural value; five percent of irrigated cropland is going out of production in the Central Valley and Southern California due to the drought; an additional $6.3 million is expected in pumping costs.

California produces nearly half

of U.S.-grown fruits, nuts, and vegetables and nearly a quarter of the nations’ milk and cream.

Nationwide, consumers regularly buy several crops grown almost entirely in California, including tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, almonds, walnuts, grapes, olives and figs.

Locally, avocado farmers, grape growers, nurseries and rural homeowners are turning to technology to locate water sources.

“There is water out there,” said Tony Jaramillo of Mount Palomarbased WaterLocating.com. “You just have to use modern technology to locate it and map it for the best source.”

Old western movies depict “water-witchers” or “dousers” holding the ends of a forked twig that rotates downward to signify a source of water. Modern-day dousers use metal rods, but the techniques – scientifically unproven -- are the same as used for thousands of years.

According to the USGS, “in regions of adequate rainfall and favorable geology, it is difficult not to drill and find water!”

Today, geophysicists with stateof-the-art instrumentation can image the subsurface of the area; much like an MRI images the human body, to see the inner fractured matrix of the earth to determine the depth, quantity and quality of the groundwater. The induction-based electromagnetic survey method is similar to military-based imaging used to locate enemy submarines.

Computer profiles reveal gravel, sandy and fractured zones where water has the ability to flow.

Geologic maps and cross-sections showing the distribution and positions of the different kinds of rocks provide great clues to aquifers of uniform permeability.

“It is the fractured zones that well-drillers want to drill into for a successful water well,” said Jaramillo. “This takes the guesswork out of drilling sites.”

Hydrologists can provide information on the wells near the target area. Locations, depth to water, amount of water pumped, amount of water moving through the aquifer, volume of water that can enter a well, and the effects of pumping on water levels in the area can all be accessed. It is important to match the size, depth and yield of the well to the need.

Drilling a well is expensive, especially if water is not found.

Costs vary by project size and location. Drilling companies charge for equipment, material and expertise.

There is a mobilization and demobilization cost to move equipment to a site (minimally $300 to $600 depending on the type of the equipment and the distance to the site).

Drillers charge on a per-foot basis. Standard drilling with hollow stem auger rigs in unconsolidated sediment may range from $40-60 per foot for a two-inch well; a four-inch well may cost $50-70 per foot. Rotary rigs are more expensive to operate and may cost $20-30 more per foot. These costs are approximate and may vary by operating firm.

Well development costs – to remove fines and sands that entered the casting – range from $50 to $100 per hour. Installing flushmount covers and vaults also add to the cost. Crew per diem rates (for projects requiring overnight stays) can range from $150 to $250 per day; containerizing drill cuttings also add cost.

With many wells reaching 6001000 or more feet, it is important to do the water locating as efficiently

as possible to minimize multiple attempts and drilling costs. Using a technology-based company with a successful track record can help ensure that one’s expenditure is an investment and not a “dry hole.”

Real Estate / Home & Garden MICRO-CLIMATES, from page B-1 and many of them also don’t care for full sun. Solution, protected areas under large palms or trees with dappled shade and large rocks near them – small boulders, even gravel.

Gravel absorbs heat during the day and gives it off at night, even if not in full sun.

This also works great for many succulents, the majority of which are not hardy unfortunately. Tropical vines can grow well against a wall, rather than a wood fence, as they will get more heat in the winter months there, and look gorgeous. If they’re not evergreen it won’t matter, but something like Bougainvillea certainly could use the warmth.

You won’t see many people growing lilacs successfully in Temecula, Fallbrook, Murrieta, etc. as they don’t like the heat and they do need chilling in the winter.

I got around this issue by careful

placement on my property. It gets afternoon shade and sits on a slope so it gets good chilling in winter and it bloomed incredibly for me.

The variety is a Descanso hybrid called “Lavender Lady.”

The main thing for a gardener is to know the climate zone, know the plants climate zone, and then see if it can be pushed a bit. Plant junkies, like myself, who just have to have that plant, even though it is not for the zone, will learn like I did, how to get it to survive and thrive.

As always I’m available for consultations and design work, and don’t forget we’re in a drought and the water district is rebating $2 per square foot for lawn replacement with drought tolerant plants! Bye until next week!

Get the 411 on flooring Choosing the right flooring for a home is no small task. Flooring is expensive, so homeowners want to make the best decision possible so their choice of flooring is not one they regret and ultimately replace in the years to come.

When choosing flooring for their homes, many homeowners are overwhelmed by the options at their disposal. Each type of flooring can look great in its own way, which is why homeowners may struggle to find the right fit for their homes.

Educating yourself about flooring is a great way to make the process of choosing your next floor much less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

The following are some of the more popular flooring options you will no doubt encounter as your search for a flawless floor begins.

Nearly everyone is familiar with hardwood floors, which are durable, warm and a favorite of homeowners aiming for a traditional look. Homes with open floor plans often benefit from hardwood flooring, as it creates the feeling of continuity that homeowners hope to achieve with open floor plans.

Various species, including oak, maple and cherry, of hardwood flooring are available, and they typically vary in price, with more see FLOORING, page B-6

Hardwood flooring is a popular and traditional choice for homeowners replacing their existing floors.

exotic imported options carrying hefty price tags. More traditional hardwood flooring is less expensive, and solid wood flooring can be refinished several times to increase its lifespan.

Engineered wood is less susceptible to temperature changes and humidity than solid wood, and some new varieties of engineered wood include substrates made from recycled wood fiber and stone dust, which may appeal to eco-friendly homeowners.

Men and women who want to install their own floors may prefer engineered wood, which is now available in selflocking parquet or plank squares that can be installed without using glue or nails.

• Optional smart home technology • Living Green, Saving Green • A tankless water heater is more energy-efficient than a conventional water heater.

• Radiant barrier roof sheathing reflects the sun’s heat and reduces cooling costs.

• R-8 insulated steel garage door reduces heat buildup.

• Weatherstripping on all exterior doors helps keep interior temperatures more comfortable year-round.

• Digital set-back thermostat reduces heating and cooling costs by minimizing energy usage.

• Nutone® ultra-quiet bathroom fans on humidstat controllers help to reduce moisture and automatically turn off when the humidity level has dropped.

• Energy Star® dishwasher is 40% more efficient than federal standards.

• Efficient toilets, faucets and shower heads conserve water and reduce water bills.

• Low-E, dual-paned window glass is reflective and helps keep the sun’s heat outside, reducing annual cooling costs by up to 32% and protecting household items against sun damage.

Bamboo is another flooring alternative that’s popular among ecoconscious homeowners, as it comes from plants that regenerate quickly and is therefore considered a sustainable material. Bamboo flooring is made of strands of bamboo that are glued together, forming engineered planks or solid strips.

Bamboo flooring is strong and able to resist the negative effects of fluctuating humidity, which include swelling and contraction. Many people prefer the fresh, bright feel of bamboo flooring.

Laminate flooring is among the less expensive flooring materials to buy and install. Homeowners who purchase laminate flooring have an array of options to choose from, and

• Low-VOC, water-based wood finish and interior paint, caulking and adhesives ensure a healthy living environment for your family.

• Sealed combustion furnace helps keep indoor air quality at healthy levels and promotes the efficiency of the furnace system.

• TRI Pointe Homes Recycle/ Reuse program puts unused construction materials back to work, saving our natural resources.

• TRI Pointe Homes reserves the right to change elevations, specifications and materials without notice.

To visit the new models of Aldea and Alegre, take the I-15 to Highway 79 east. Continue to Meadows Parkway and turn left. Turn left again at De Portola Road.

The sales office is located at 44021 Arcadia Court in Temecula and is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Mondays from 1 to 6 p.m.

Find additional details at www.

TRIPointeHomes.com/SouthernCalifornia or call (866) 951-3900. floating laminate flooring systems can be installed over existing floors without glue or nails. Some feel laminate flooring is indistinguishable from real wood, but the plastic coating that makes up the top layer of laminate flooring is often a giveaway that the floors are laminate and not real wood.

Similar in construction to engineered wood, laminate flooring differs because its top layer is a photographic imprint on the face of each board, whereas engineered wood is made up of real hardwood veneer attached to several layers of plywood.

Cork is another sustainable flooring material that’s a favorite among homeowners looking to make their homes more eco-friendly. The appearance of cork floors is unlike many flooring materials, as it is speckled thanks to unusual grain patterns of the trees from which it is harvested.

Cork flooring is popular in kitchens and bathrooms because cork tiles have a naturally nonslip surface that makes areas of a home where floors get wet safer. Cork flooring may need to be resealed every few years to guard against stains and potential moisture issues.

Flooring choices vary greatly, and it’s easy for homeowners to become overwhelmed by all of the options at their disposal. But taking time to understand each of those options can make the process of choosing a floor that much more fun.

Hawks BU12 and GU10 bring home classic championships JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor The Hawks BU12 Academy team won the very prestigious West Coast Futbol Classic over the weekend of August 1617. The tournament is considered one of the top in the country, and for the Hawks who were playing in the top flight; they were nothing short of amazing in their quest for gold.

Led by Coach by Ryan Halliday, the BU12 team went undefeated in five games beating the San Diego Surf Academy, El Segundo Sand and Surf, the FC Golden State, Laguna United and in the finals they beat the Nomads 4-3 in a hard fought game.

The Hawks team has several players who started out in the Hawks Junior Hawk program when they were six-years-old and have helped the team progress to one of the top teams in the country. They will be competing in Flight 1 in the SCDSL League after they finish their preseason.

The goal for Coach Halliday, he says, “Will be to continue each individual players development while advancing the team

Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Hundreds of families came out Saturday afternoon to the 18th annual fundraising carnival for the Temecula Valley Pop Warner Football’s 25th anniversary season.

The carnival was held at Temecula Middle School on Saturday, August 24. This event is the league’s largest fundraiser of the season.

Each year, each team – parents and players – create and man a fundraising booth. This year the booths ranged from an Incredible Hulk jumper, a water gun maze, marshmallow shooters, hot-off-thegrill sandwiches, slushies and cotton candy. The goal of the booths

is to raise money for activities like the end-of-year party.

“This is a really great way for our football community to bond and build camaraderie,” said Carol Krock, team mom for the Flag Division of Fighting Cubs.

Krock said it would be easy for parents to donate money instead of the putting in the hard work and hours of setting up for the event and the time it takes for carnival but by working together to put on the event, the children learn about teamwork.

“Ideally the carnival pulls the organization together and adds value for the children and everyone involved,” Krock said.

The fields at the middle school were divided into thirds so some of the Pop Warner teams could play mini scrimmages on the same football fields at the same time. Play-

ers were able to play short games against visiting teams and have an opportunity to work out their preseason jitters. Coaches were also able to see first-hand where their team’s weakness and strengths lay.

“We had a great turn out today, said Temecula Valley Pop Warner Football President Tim Arnzen.

“Teams from Lake Elsinore, Ramona, National City and Murrieta were just some of the many visiting teams our boys got to scrimmage against today.”

Esmerelda Sandoval, whose son L.J. Sandoval-Visque plays on the Mighty Bruins football team, is a very active parent with multiple children playing sports often at the same time. Sandoval and her family, however, make a concerted effort to be part of the carnival because of the bonding experience her son has with his teammates.

“This is all about building memories for the kids. They only get one chance to be a kid and this is a positive part of their childhood,” said Sandoval.

“We have been holding the carnival for 18 years,” said Arnzen.

“Each year all our teams are successful in reaching their goals.”

Pop Warner is an international youth football program with a strict age and weight matrix to ensure kids compete with kids of similar age and size. The program also provides cheerleading and dance opportunities. The program’s philosophy is that academics and athletics go hand-in-hand. The organization strives to make the game fun for all boys and girls.

The players learn lessons such as self-discipline, teamwork, concentration, friendship, leadership and good sportsmanship.

13-year-old girl discovers fungus grown on trees is deadly to AIDS patients human infections.

“Just as people who travel to South America are told to be careful about drinking the water, people who visit other areas like California, the Pacific Northwest and Oregon need to be aware that they are at risk for developing a fungal infection, especially if their immune system is compromised,” said Deborah J. Springer, Ph.D., lead study author and postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Microbial Pathogenesis at Duke University School of Medicine.

A few years ago, Duke’s chairman of Molecular Genetics and Microbiology, Joseph Heitman M.D., was contacted by longtime collaborator and UCLA infectious disease specialist Scott Filler, M.D., whose daughter Elan was looking for a project to work on during her summer break. They decided it would be fun to send her out in search of fungi living in the

Researchers have pinpointed the environmental source of fungal infections that have been sickening HIV/AIDS patients in Southern California for decades. It literally grows on trees.

The discovery is based on the science project of a 13-year-old girl, who spent the summer gathering soil and tree samples from areas around Los Angeles hardest hit by infections of the fungus named Cryptococcus gattii.

Cryptococcus, which encompasses a number of species including C. gattii, causes life-threatening infections of the lungs and brain and is responsible for one third of all AIDS-related deaths.

The study, which appeared in PLOS Pathogens on August, 21, found strong genetic evidence that three tree species – Canary Island pine, pohutukawa and American sweetgum – can serve as environmental hosts and sources of these

greater Los Angeles area.

The student sampled 109 swabs of more than 30 tree species and 58 soil samples, grew and isolated the Cryptococcus fungus, and then sent those specimens to Springer at Duke.

Springer DNA-sequenced the samples from California and compared the sequences to those ob-

tained from HIV/AIDS patients with C. gattii infections.

She was surprised to find that specimens from three of the tree species were genetically almost indistinguishable from the patient specimens.

The researchers also found that the C. gattii isolated from the environment were fertile, repro-

ducing either by sexual or asexual reproduction.

“That finding is important for long-term prevalence in the environment, because this fungal pathogen will be able to grow, reproduce, disperse spores, and serve as a source of ongoing infections,” Springer said.

Mount San Jacinto College (MSJC) Art Gallery is hosting a new show, “Lost and Found,” beginning Thursday, September 4.

The A.R.T.E.R.Y. – art recognition transition education reciprocating youth – youth will showcase its artwork between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Mt. San Jacinto College Art Gallery through Thursday, October 9.

The exhibit will open with a public reception on Thursday, September 4 from 4 to 8 p.m. The exhibition is made possible by the cooperative efforts of the Mt. San Jacinto College Art Gallery, California Family Life Center (CFLC) and its affiliates in Hemet, Rubidoux, and Lake Elsinore.

The primary goal of A.R.T.E.R.Y. is to provide at-risk youth opportunities for safe and positive self-expression in the visual and language arts. The letter T, representing transition, is one of the key components of the program.

This component provides a smooth or less intimidating transition into higher education for CFLC students and is supported through the collaborative outreach between California Family Life Center, Mt. San Jacinto College’s Art Gallery and Art department.

Due to this important collaborative outreach, incoming atrisk youth have continued higher academic transitioning through art and their voices for more than eight years. Annual art themes are centralized on the importance of youth voices, issues and CFLC strategic planning outcomes.

The exhibition is a culmination of youth artwork and community service from CFLC’s Empower Youth Center Hemet, Planet Youth Elsinore, and the Youth Opportunity Center Rubidoux.

The sculpture exhibit reflects the lost and found stages of CFLC’s at risk youth and the mentors who have helped them navigate through

life. The art concept and introspective stories are based on Homer’s “Odyssey,” and “Book II of The Odyssey.”

An important component of the exhibit is the interactive portion where visitors are invited to remove and red the introspective stories written by the youth artists. The stories can be found within envelope sculptures throughout the exhibit.

The exhibition reflects the three phases of the A.R.T.E.R.Y. program, community service, individual interpretive artwork and the collaborative mentor project.

The exhibition is free to the public. The Gallery, open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. is located on the San Jacinto Campus of MSJC located at 1499 State Street in San Jacinto.

Health

Use food to help maintain a healthy weight Maintaining or adopting a healthy lifestyle involves a host of factors.

Getting off the couch to be more active is one such factor, as is taking control of your diet so it’s helping you and not hurting you.

While adopting a more active lifestyle is a relatively simple step for many people, modifying a diet is oftentimes a much steeper hill to climb. Dietary habits can be hard to break. But altering your selections so the food you consume is helping you instead of hurting you is possible, and you won’t have to abandon your favorite foods, either. The following are a few tips aimed at helping you make your diet work for you.

Choose the right foods. Many people feel the culprit behind their unhealthy weight is the portions they consume. While portion size might have something to do with it, the foods you’re eating are likely the primary suspect.

If your diet is devoid of fruits, vegetables and whole grains and the dairy products you choose are not fat-free or low-fat, then this could be why you have difficulty maintaining

a healthy weight. Choose low-fat or fat-free, formerly known as “skim,” milk and dairy products instead of whole milk for your morning cereal or when preparing recipes that call for cheese. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains each day.

Choose lean meat when buying red meat, but don’t overdo it even if you are buying lean meat. Red meat once per week might be enough to satisfy your craving, so enjoy poultry and fish for dinner on other nights of the week.

Alter your recipes. Many of the foods you enjoy may not be unhealthy. But how you prepare those foods could be compromising their nutritional value or unnecessarily adding calories and causing weight gain.

For example, fried foods are typically loaded with salt and contain more calories than foods that are baked or grilled. Foods that are fried are typically fried in oil, and that oil undergoes changes to its molecular

structure during the frying process.

The molecules become harmful free radicals that can damage the body’s cells while negatively affecting your cholesterol levels and your body weight.

Instead of frying foods like fish or chicken, grill or bake them instead.

It’s alright to occasionally indulge in some fried chicken or other popular fried foods, but keep such indulgences to a minimum.

Another way to alter your recipes is to replace potentially harmful ingredients with lower-calorie alternatives. When preparing a meal that calls for butter, choose a more heart-healthy alternative such as a low-calorie butter spread. You likely won’t be able to taste the difference, but your body will feel the difference.

Plan your snacks. Many people run into trouble when they find themselves hungry in the hours between lunch and dinner. Healthy snacks that are rich in nutrients do not seem as readily available as snacks like potato chips or cookies that provide little or no nutritional

value. But snack time does not have to be a daily sacrifice of discipline in favor of convenience.

Plan ahead for snack time just as you do for meal time, packing items like fresh fruit, diced-up vegetables or low-fat yogurt when you leave for work each morning. These foods can satisfy hunger just as successfully as

their less healthy alternatives, but they won’t do so at the cost of your waistline.

Food is too often seen as the enemy for men and women looking to maintain a healthy weight. But when you choose nutrient-rich, low-fat foods, then maintaining a healthy weight becomes a lot easier.

fats. Saturated fats can lead to obesity and clogged arteries. The American Heart Association recommends kids get no more than 25 to 35 percent of their calories from fat. Fish, nuts and olives are healthy fat sources.

• Let kids choose some of their food. Allow kids to pick some of the healthy foods they will be eating. Giving kids a say in their diets will make them more likely to enjoy their lunches and cut back on snack foods. Eating meals regularly will keep energy levels up during school and make kids less likely to reach for unhealthy snacks to fill hunger gaps.

• Make small changes that add up. Switching from white bread to whole grain breads, and opting for low-fat dairy products instead of full-fat dairy products can make a world of difference.

Kids may not notice a change in texture or flavor, and many of kids’ favorite foods, such as chicken nuggets, pizza and macaroni and cheese, can be made with healthier ingredients.

• Remember, beverages count, too. Giving children a healthy lunch and then packing a sugarfilled, high-calorie drink negates your efforts. Calories from beverages can quickly add up. Water is always the best option for a healthy drink. Low-fat milk and real fruit juice consumed in moderation also make healthy alternatives to sugary beverages.

Offering healthy school lunches is an important step to raising healthy kids. New guidelines and offerings make it easier for kids to get the nutrition they need for their growing bodies.

How to make school lunch healthier The benefits of a healthy diet are clear and well documented. In addition to providing the nutrients a growing body needs, consuming a balanced diet helps children maintain a healthy weight. Obesity continues to be a growing problem among school-aged children and can contribute to the onset of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, and many other adverse medical conditions.

Children attending school will eat at least one meal away from home each day. A healthy lunch provides sound nutrition to give students energy to do well in school and for the rest of the day.

Children who do not eat well at lunch may have difficulty concentrating, while others may feel sluggish or tired.

As part of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, the United States National School Lunch Program was revised to guarantee healthy, nutritionally sound choices, as established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for lunch. America’s school menus were altered to be healthier than ever, including more fruits and vegetables while limiting calories.

Despite some controversy through the years, including some students saying the smaller portions and food choices aren’t always satisfying, states suffering from high child obesity rates have seen

marked improvements.

Canada is one of the few leading industrialized countries that does not have a national nutrition strategy to implement healthy school lunches. It’s estimated that only 10 to 15 percent of Canadian children have access to school meals.

These meals are not provided by a well-funded national program, but by a patchwork of individual volunteer efforts, some provincial government funding and corporate donations.

Whether students purchase lunch from school or bring lunch from home, there are ways to

guarantee a more diverse offering and better nutrition. Here are some guidelines to follow.

• Offer nutrient-dense foods.

Foods should contribute to the daily recommended amounts of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C. Provide a selection of foods, such as lean protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, that will give children the nutrients they need. Nutrientdense foods also help kids feel fuller, longer.

• Limit fat intake. Avoid foods that do not get their fat from polyunsaturated and monounsaturated

State confirms mosquitoes in Riverside County test positive for West Nile virus The state has confirmed that mosquitoes collected from several locations in the Murrieta/Temecula area, and one location in the Hemet area, tested positive for West Nile virus.

The Riverside County Department of Environmental Health received confirmation from the Vector-borne Disease Section at UC Davis that tests on mosquitoes collected in Murrieta, Temecula and Hemet were positive. The samples were collected Aug. 11 and 12 from locations at Monroe Basin, the northwest corner of Temecula and western Hemet.

It is not unusual for mosquitoes in parts of Riverside County to test positive for the virus, especially during the summer. In 2013, 81 mosquito samples tested positive for the virus.

The virus can be transmitted to humans and some animals through the bite of an infected mosquito.

Most individuals who are infected will not experience any illness.

Others will have only mild symptoms, such as fever, headache and body aches. However, young children, the elderly or individuals with lowered immune systems are at greater risk of more severe symptoms. Anyone with symptoms should contact their health care provider.

The department’s vector-control

staff has intensified mosquito surveillance as well as efforts to control adult and larval mosquitoes in these areas to reduce the mosquito populations and interrupt the disease transmission cycle. Residents are encouraged to take an active role to reduce the threat of West Nile virus in their neighborhoods.

• Protect yourself against mosquito bites by using insect repellent.

Use a repellent with DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-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 of age and

should be used in concentrations of 30 percent or less on older children.

Lemon eucalyptus oil should not be used on children under three years of age.

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

Consider rescheduling outdoor activities planned for those hours.

• Clothing can help reduce mosquito bites. Wear long sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors to help keep mosquitoes away from skin.

• Mosquito-proof your home.

Drain standing water where mosquitos lay their eggs. Limit the number of places for mosquitoes to breed by draining/discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains and empty unused flowerpots and wading pools. Change water in birdbaths and pet bowls at least weekly.

• Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly 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 mosquito fish and report neglected pools or standing water as potential mosquito sources. Visit the department online at www.rivcoeh.org/Programs/ vector to obtain more information.

New Temecula synagogue to mark High Holy Days

Student Rabbi Sandy Rosenstein stands in front of Torah scrolls at Temple Beth Sholom in Temecula.

Tim O’Leary Staff Writer The “Days of Awe” will soon arrive for the Jewish community and be celebrated at Temple Beth Sholom in Temecula.

The Temple, which hosted its first Temecula open house on Aug. 17, will observe the Jewish High Holy Day cycle from Sept. 24 through Oct. 17. The period of special services and prayers may also serve as an introduction to the Jewish congregation that is, at the same time, one of the oldest and one of the newest synagogues in southwest Riverside County. `“These are beautiful holidays to participate in, and there are moving prayers in English and Hebrew,” said Sandy Rosenstein, the congregation’s female student rabbi.

The High Holy Days are one of the peak attendance periods at Jewish temples. They are a period of personal reflection blended with communal prayer seeking inscription in the Book of Life and for the collective well being of all.

As a result, it is possible that all of synagogue’s seats will be occupied in the weeks to come.

That period begins at sundown on Sept. 24, which marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It is a time of reflection and selfjudgment as one’s deeds over the past year are scrutinized and evaluated.

As part of this holy period, the shofar, a ram’s horn, is blown both mornings of Rosh Hashanah and at the close of Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur, which begins with the Kol Nidre service just prior to sundown on Oct. 3, is known as the Day of Atonement and includes fasting and extended prayer at the synagogue.

The holidays bracket the Ten Days of Repentance, a time in which Jews seek forgiveness from those they may have hurt during the year. The holiday grouping is more properly known as Yamim Noraim, which is translated from Hebrew as the “Days of Awe.” The packed holiday schedule will likely speed Rosenstein’s steps as she prepares her sermons and talks for the congregation. Rosenstein recently entered the homestretch of her rabbinical education and training.

When Rosenstein becomes ordained, she will join an elite group of female rabbis worldwide.

She serves at the temple with Jeff Schwimmer, a rabbi and cantor whose career in synagogue life spans more than four decades.

Her emerging role underscores the twin missions of the self-described “Conservative Congregation with a Modern Twist.” Those goals focus on blending the old and the new and building an infrastructure for Jewish and Jewish interfaith families.

Changes are evident in the congregation that traces its local roots back nearly five decades. For most of that period, the congregation was based in a synagogue that it owned in the senior enclave of Sun City.

Faced with an aging, decreasing membership, the congregation decided to move from Menifee to Temecula. Its leaders sold their synagogue to a congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses and began seeking a new home.

About two years ago, Temple Beth Sholom opted to lease space in the building owned by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber constructed the Ynez Court building in 2003, and it leased an unused portion to a string of tenants before it became Temple Beth Sholom.

Student Rabbi Sandy Rosenstein reads a prayer book at Temple Beth Sholom in Temecula.

The move to the 1,800-square-foot suite has been a blessing for both sides, according to Rosenstein and Alice Sullivan, chamber president and chief executive.

Many of the congregation’s services, songs and prayers are in English as well as Hebrew.

“There’s plenty of English (spoken) that’s moving and relevant and touches people’s hearts and souls,” Rosenstein said in a recent interview.

Flashes of humor also punctuate the services as a result of the easy

Hill Alcohol and Drug Treatment provides support, alternatives to drug use Alex Groves Staff Writer Searing hot sweats followed by periods of extreme cold, headaches, nausea and irritability – these are just a few of the unpleasant symptoms that a person may experience while undergoing drug withdrawal and these symptoms are just the start on a long journey toward getting clean and staying clean.

Rocky Hill of Hill Alcohol and Drug Treatment knows a lot about addiction. He’s seen numerous teens and adults grappling with dependencies to alcohol, prescription painkillers and dangerous illegal drugs like Heroin.

He’s worked hand in hand with those people, trying to keep them on a journey of recovery and stability.

Hill’s outpatient facility offers a variety of treatment options for individuals who have already gone through inpatient drug rehabilitation and who are trying to keep themselves from using again.

One of his programs is an intensive outpatient program which requires patients to attend three-hour groups three times a week for 24 sessions.

This system offers a basis of support and allows patients to work through their addictive behaviors while also functioning as a part of the “real world,” according to Hill, who added that programs where people are separated from the factors that might cause them to use don’t really teach those individuals avoidance skills.

Hill’s facility also offers one on one counseling as part of a 12 step program. These sessions offer patients the opportunity to identify the factors which might cause them to use and offer appropriate ways to deal with those factors.

Rocky, who has been a certified drug rehabilitation counselor close to two decades, knows all too well what it’s like to struggle through addiction.

For years he abused drugs and alcohol himself.

“Alcohol just made things easier,” he said. “It made me feel like I could fit in my skin.” After his initial experimentation with alcohol in college, Hill would begin using marijuana and LSD recreationally before moving onto harder drugs.

rapport between Rosenstein and Schwimmer.

“We’re small enough that we can do fun give-and-take and still stay within the dignity of the service,” Rosenstein said.

She said the temple’s banter, songs and holidays will help fuel the congregation’s efforts to form a cohesive community. Rosenstein hopes that community will someday include kosher markets and Jewish bakeries.

“It’s a long process, but we start one Jew at a time,” she said.

It wasn’t until he lost his job in 1980 while working at a group home in Palm Springs that he decided it was time to get clean. From then on he went through a rigorous process of trying to get clean. He went to the hospital and also went to treatment centers in an effort to try to keep himself from using again. He got clean, pursued a career in drug counseling and ran various successful programs before coming to Temecula to start helping people in 1987.

Since then Hill has seen trends change. He’s seen the popular drug of choice go from marijuana to cocaine, from cocaine to ecstacy, from ecstacy to painkillers. Now he sees many people addicted to oxycontin and heroin.

And those individuals aren’t always “bad kids,” he said. Sometimes they’re good kids with hopes and aspirations who end up with the wrong crowds.

“When we had people coming in who were addicted to methamphetamine they tended to be not as high functioning,” Hill said. “That’s not the case with most of the people we see who are addicted to opiates.”

He said many high-performing area students have come into his office after becoming dependent on heroin or a similar drug but that’s only after their parents have considered every other possible alternative.

He said parents in Temecula and surrounding communities are reluctant to see the warning signs of drug abuse and even more reluctant to believe their child has a problem.

“I think there’s an element of the community that is invested in the perception that this Valley doesn’t have those kinds of problems,” he said. “And obviously we do.”

Hill said parents need to be vigilant and willing to see when their child has a problem because that’s the first way to get that child help. But, as long as addiction continues to be a problem, he said he’ll be here to help those who need it.
