recent sample, the lake has seen a significant decrease of the toxins.

However, levels remain above the threshold for recommended recreational health standards. The city’s Lake Watch is continuing to monitor and sample the algae and toxins in order to properly inform the community of potential concerns.

The lake remains in a vulnerable condition due to water levels dropping below 1,232-feet and the severe lack of rainfall the past six years. High 90 to 100 degree weather only promotes algae growth and decay. Fortunately, the seasonal weather change this winter will kill off the algae as there will

be less sunlight to photosynthesize and produce growth.

Since the weeklong lake closure, the most recent samples have shown only one toxin, microcystins, left in the water at reduced levels. The cyanobacteria,

The $10 million fast-tract Burlington Coat Factory/Sprouts construction project by Savant Construction, Inc. at the old WalMart building on Florida Avenue between Gilmore and Kirby roads is nearing completion and should be open for business in October.

“I would say we are about 85 percent complete today,” said Paul Rosa Savant’s superintendent of the project that started up in April.

“I would say we will have completion in September or October.” The new 40,000 square foot Burlington Coat Factory that will occupy most of the original 125,000 square foot Wal-Mart building, is tentatively scheduled to open Oct. 26. “We should meet that opening date,” Rosa said.

The adjoining Sprouts Farmers Market adjacent to Burlington could be open possibly as early as

More than 50 people gathered inside Centerpoint Community Church Saturday, Aug. 16, to learn about Murrieta’s Downtown Plan and give their input to city and planning officials during the city’s second workshop on the planned improvements.

The plan reflects a variety of ideas to revitalize the downtown area between Kalmia and Ivy east and west and Jefferson and Hayes south and north making it a tourist and shopping designation for the city. The original vision for the downtown area in 2011 was

to “Create a vibrant, prosperous Historic Downtown that serves as a community center and provides a variety of quality shopping and dining experiences.”

Those in attendance were able to review and provide input on the potential concepts for the development of the city’s historic downtown area.

Representatives from Rick Engineering’s multidisciplinary Community Planning and Sustainable Development Division, which holds the contract to provide consulting and planning services to the city, were on hand to give a presentation

Vail Headquarters preserves O.T. Hackett bringing mail line to Temecula TEMECULA – After years of contemplating whether the old buildings at the Vail Headquarters site next to Kohl’s would ever amount to anything, many Temeculans expressed surprise at the sudden transformation. Many years in the making, it is now a commercial center highlighting the historical significance of early Temecula.

Many of the original ranch buildings remain today. Yet there is an earlier history of an Indian village and the Wolf Adobe built in the 1860s. The Southern Immigrant Trail that brought thousands of immigrants into California ran through the property and also served as the famous Butterfield Stage Route, discontinued during the Civil War. Other stage lines brought mail to Temecula following the demise of the Butterfield route. In 1878, Samuel Warren Hackett, one of Temecula’s most popular drivers, bought the mail route from San Diego to Temecula. The post office was at the Wolf Store Adobe where Louis Wolf served as postmaster.

It was said citizens could set their watches by Hackett’s punctuality, thus earning him the nickname O.T. “On Time” Hackett. Samuel Hackett delivered the mail 72 miles from San Diego to Temecula three days a week: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. He would spend the night and then head back to San Diego with the San Diego mail. Sundays were his day of rest. Hackett stayed in one of the ten rooms attached to the adobe for travelers. A room cost 50 cents a night, dinner was 50 cents and it was 50 cents to stable a horse.

Mr. Hackett left home in Massachusetts at the age of 16, arriving in San Diego in 1856. He signed on a whaling ship plying the Pacific coast and rose to captain and ship owner. After a lucrative otter hunting trip off the coast of Siberia, he went to San Francisco with over 440 pelts, worth a fortune. Selling his sailing interests, he moved to San Diego and raised cattle in lower California before again selling his interests and buying the contract for the San Diego to Temecula mail line. Lines the length of his often carried a second driver, but Hackett successfully petitioned to run the route on his own. A stop was made to water and change horses about every twenty miles.

Hackett would leave San Diego, ford the San Diego River, travel through Poway, Vista, what would become Escondido and Bear Valley (later Valley Center). He forded the San Luis River to Pala, took the

steep grade to Temecula and then crossed the Temecula River to the Wolf Store. During the summer months, most trips went well. But spring and winter were another matter as county officials saw little need for bridges. Often rain-flooded rivers were too deep to cross and stages sent out in the morning would return by evening.

There were a number of bad years where Hackett would be stuck in San Diego or Temecula for weeks or days before the route became passible. Then rain would give way to mud, causing additional problems. 1884 was particularly bad with relentless rains from February through May. Still the citizens of Temecula appreciated the persistence and hardships O.T. endured to bring the mail and provide a reliable mail service. To make up for lost revenue, Hackett ordered a brand new passenger wagon and began to provide both passenger

ALGAE from page A-1 blue-green algae, bloom in the warmer temperatures in the summer which causes greater levels of toxins.

According to Indiana University’s Center for Earth and Environmental Studies, the bloom grows because of the increased nutrients in the water. The eutrophication (nutrient enrichment) comes from runoff, soil erosion from fertilized agricultural areas and sewage and all contributes to an increase in phosphorus and nitrogen. Lake Elsinore’s geographic position leaves them in the perfect conditions for fostering these nutrients because of the nearby water reservoirs.

Lake Elsinore’s history with algae in the summer is not new. With water levels the lowest they have been in 23 years, the City of Lake Elsinore finds itself with problems similar to that Governor Edmund Gerald “Pat” Brown, Sr. had in 1960 with filling the lake.

Nicole Daily, the Senior Management Analyst for the City of Lake Elsinore, said that the lake’s depth being only 15 feet intensifies the natural nutrients and the sunlight on the lake. The natural body of water heats up quickly leaving the algae at its worst midday when it begins to photosynthesize. The cooler weather at the night effectively kills off the algae. However, the dying algae produce toxins, scum and foul odors.

As Daily describes, “The lake is complex. A lot of people want fast results, but don’t know the effects.”

The city has debated the use of algaecide such as copper sulfate, but the use of chemicals is a risk of its own. Lake Elsinore runs into various other water sources, and the algaecide “may temporarily choke out the oxygen, but it will come back” killing fish in the lake.

The problem with this fast solution is that it gives short-term results, leaving the city with few feasible choices for the future. Moreover, the lake with its 2,500 acres would require large and frequent injec-

tions of algaecide.

The natural approach the city has taken affects less wildlife in the long term. To reduce the effects of the algae, the city has been pumping 5 million gallons of recycled water into the lake every day.

Costing $750 thousand of their less than $30 million annual budget, the city “protects life at the lake level and has created 12-14 feet of water since the start of the injection,” says Daily.

While 5 million gallons seems large, the lake evaporates by four and a half feet per year while the injections replace only 2 feet.

Reportedly, the city would need to inject 9.8 billion of gallons of water to restore the lake, but Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District does what it can. The city can only use as much water as is discharged by the citizens because it is solely recycled water.

Paling in comparison, Governor Brown Sr. in 1960 paid $16 million to fill up the lake. Today with inflation that would be approximately $60 million. The $750 thousand annual expenditure is not nearly as much, but it approximates the problems in the lake. Even if the algae problem was solved, the lake would not be a finished product due to the extremely low water levels.

The lake water is now primarily recycled, transforming it into a different place since 1993.

As recreational activities increase, officials urge caution around the shoreline where the algae accumulate.

The algae in the warm, shallow waters by the shore affects beach visitors, but the water tends to dilute the algae where the water is deepest. As a result, boaters are not the primary concern, but they are urged to take caution around algae mats with large concentrations of toxin. Beach visitors are urged to use caution limiting bodily contact near algae and rinsing off with fresh water after contact with the lake water. It is not recommended that people or animals drink lake water or use it for cooking.

Regardless of the current condition, the city remains hopeful and prepared as they update their Lake Watch webpage to inform and engage the community about the state of the lake. Partnered with the San Jacinto Watersheds Authority (LESJWA), the city uses local and regional resource agencies along with private businesses to take part in protecting Lake Elsinore.

Hemet City Council reviews action plan to reduce city ‘at risk’ findings Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“The audit cries out for Measure U,” said Hemet Mayor Pro Tem Paul Raver following the detailed response to a state auditor’s report saying the city is “at risk” in public safety, given by City Manager Alex Meyerhoff at the Aug. 23 city council meeting.

The council realizing the city continues to face serious financial problems, growing threats to public safety and harsh citizen criticism after the failure of Measure E to bolster police and fire protections, called for a state audit to determine just what areas were at risk for the city’s future.

The final report from the auditor came out Aug. 4, outlining two

major “risk” issues in the city and a number of recommendations to address each risk. The “High Risk Local Government” state audit program for the City of Hemet government found no evidence of waste, fraud, abuse or malfeasance from the current or past councils.

Following the reading of the audit, the city staff issued an initial corrective action plan outlining the city response to the report recommendations. Meyerhoff reviewed the action plan with the council in a work study session that evening. Some state auditor recommendations will include further studies and follow up; while the city staff and Meyerhoff disagree with several other recommendations. The council

erhoff and the council objected.

The council agreed the city staff has been cut to the bare-bones. It was pointed out that only three employees are responsible for maintaining the city’s eightparks; most of their valuable time is spent picking up trash.

The council also agreed that new employee pension reduction plans are needed. Meyerhoff noted that the city is negotiating with California Public Employees Retirement System (CALPERS) to revise the city’s unfunded pension liabilities in light of the city’s financial situation.

The city manager noted the auditor’s report projected a $5 million budget deficit for the city in fiscal year 2016 and is continuing to experience dwindling reserves.

He said the auditor’s proposed five-year budget plan to address the city’s budget deficit was inaccurate and overly optimistic.

Meyerhoff responded, in June 2016, the City of Hemet adopted the fiscal year 2016-17 General Fund budget of $536 million. The budget includes a $350,000 deficit (less than 1 percent) which is consistent with the 2015 Five-Year Financial Management Plan that requires a minimum of 20 percent reserves. In the budget the city included a 25 percent reserve that is consistent with the policy.

The reserves serve as operating capital.

“The city has no indebtedness,” Meyerhoff said, bringing applause from the council and the audience.

responded with their opinions.

Mayor Pro Tem Raver passed out his own written findings and recommendations to those attending which mostly matched the city manager’s 5-year plan to overcome the auditor-identified risks.

Meyerhoff found most of his disagreements were with the auditors’ recommendations suggesting fees be charged for a number of services that until now the residents of the city and some nonresidents have enjoyed. They included library fees, emergency medical services and reaching out to private companies for services now being performed by city staff.

One recommendation by the auditor to outsource work done by city staff to save money would result in cutting city jobs. Mey-

He added the city will continue to monitor all financial activity, including presenting quarterly financial updates to the council.

Additionally, he said, the city will continue to update the Five-Year Financial Plan at least annually when significant changes to revenue and expenditures are identified. The plan will be a guide to future budget preparations.

To the fee issue, Meyerhoff reported the city will “continue to seek efficiencies for the reductions of expenditures and opportunities for enhancing ongoing revenue, with any recommendations for new fees subject to policy approval by the city council. The city will continue to update existing fees annually to ensure the costs of providing services are recovered.”

“The five-year plan will continue to serve as a roadmap for budget preparation for financial stability,” he wrote.

One of the fees the auditor suggested for use of the city’s library, particularly for non-residents, would bring in an estimated $2.5 million per year. This recommendation was completely refuted by Library Manager Kathye Caines.

If the city were to charge residents and non-residents an auditor-proposed $75 yearly fee, they would have far fewer people using the library, Caines said. Also the library would stand to lose more than $7.5 million in grants including thousands of e-books provided by the state and other organizations.

She noted that only three cities in California have yearly fees for library users. The Hemet library does charge non-residents $5 for a library card.

The auditor also recommended the city charge fees for emergency medical services provided by the fire department. The Hemet Fire Department does not charge for true emergency medical services in view of the fact that many in the city are elderly people with low incomes.

The auditor suggested that the fire department is seen as underfunded and at risk; it should “conduct a comprehensive fee analysis to determine the fully burdened hourly rates for providing for providing emergency medical services, specific to the duration of the emergency medical calls and ensure first responder fees do not exceed the cost to provide the service.”

“If Hemet does not adequately fund its fire department to address the concerns identified in its 2013 and 2015 consultant reviews, it should pursue alternatives for providing services, such as shared fire services. It should pursue alternatives for providing services such as fire services with other local governments,” stated the auditor.

The city responded by forming a corrective action plan. The plan calls for a work study with the city council’s vendor, Fire Cost Recovery, to identify the impact and possible revenue that would be generated by the fees. It will commence a comprehensive fee analysis to determine the hourly rates for providing emergency service, specifically to the time involved. A comprehensive staffing plan for the department will be written concerning the problems identified in the earlier consultant findings with immediate priority being given to filling a battalion chief rank.

After hearing the report, Mayor Pro Tem Raver reviewed his recommendations that almost mirrored the city manager’s report and plan. He emphasized the need for all residents in Hemet to get behind the new Measure U if they want to improve their city. “The audit cries out for Measure U,” he said with the agreement of most of the council.

The council, after hearing the report, turned its attention to Measure U that will appear on the ballot in November. The measure will provide up to $10 million a year from a general purpose tax to enhance public safety services in the city. Concerned that future council’s might shift some of the tax money to other budgetary needs, other than public safety, the city council passed a resolution better defining the use of the tax revenues. The resolution was passed with a 4 to 1 vote. Councilmember Shelli Milne voted “no.” (Text of the resolution may be found on the City of Hemet website under the Aug. 23 council meeting. www.cityofhemet.org)

October. Also set to open on the property owned and controlled by local physician Dr. Kali P. Chaudhuri and partners, is a new Dialysis Center and the Ulta Beauty Supply company. Three other stores are planned on the east end of the center. The planned 40,000 square-foot Ulta Beauty Center was built into the old Wal-Mart and will offer extensive cosmetic lines.

Rosa said in the next three to four weeks the paving, concrete curbs, some underground utilities, signage and landscaping will be completed. Friday, Aug. 26, many of the curbs and retaining walls were being poured while cranes were ready to place the store signs when they arrive.

Savant assistant superintendents Robert Bond, Michael Schultz and Duke Conlon were out on the site making sure the final work was being done on each of the new stores. Bond with his assistant Mike Washington, were personally connecting the main telephone cables at the back of the building where Verizon will be installing nearly 100 phone connections for the center.

The new project introduced by developers to city planners in January was welcome news to the city council who had waited since 2004 when Wal-Mart closed the Florida Avenue store to see new tenants move in. The store over the 12 years it was closed, began to deteriorate, the landscaping began to die off and it became a temporary haven for some homeless that had to be moved by police. Several projects were proposed for the property through the decade but they eventually fell through as the recession deepened in the years following its closure.

The mayor, the city council and the Hemet/San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce see this project as a part of the economic turnaround the city is experiencing since the end of the recession. The project, according to Rosa, has brought work to nearly 100 contractors, many local, since the remodeling began.

Once opened the three stores and the medical facility promise to provide additional full and part time jobs to local residents further improving the local economy and providing residents even more shopping opportunities and medical services.

Nearly 200 firefighters, three helicopters and six air tankers worked to extinguish a vegetation fire that broke out in Lakeland Village Sunday, Aug. 28.

According to a press release

Got A Leak?

issued by Cal Fire/Riveside County Fire spokeswoman Jennifer Fuhrman, 185 firefighters, from 21 engine companies, along with two helicopters, six air tankers, three water tenders and one bulldozer from Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire with the assistance of Cleveland National Forest and Corona City firefighters all responded to the scene of the 35-acre vegetation fire just after 1:20 p.m.

The fire burned at a moderate rate of spread with a potential to burn 200 acres, according to the release.

The Evergreen Fire quickly spread to 40 acres and Lake Elsinore Sky Drive was shut down due to the blaze.

Just over 24 hours later, at 1:55 p.m. Monday, Aug. 30, the fire was 100 percent contained, never growing past 40 acres, due to firefighters’ efforts.

The cause of the fire is under investigation and anyone with information on the blaze should call the Riverside County Fire Department’s Arson Hotline at (800) 633-2836.

Some of the agencies were “Assistance League,” “Riverside National Cemetery,” “Department of Veterans Affairs,” Help For Hospitalized Veterans,” etc. All agencies had brochures of their services which veterans could carry away in their tote bags.

Jean Babinski sold raffle tickets for a donated quilt made by Teri Bianco, a past Lodge chaplain. The raffle raised $152 for Elks National Service.

Local high school junior organizes 15th anniversary of 9/11 ceremony Natalie Witt VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

In memory of the happenings of 9/11, Satya Ath, a Junior at Linfield Christian High School, has organized a special event Friday, Sept. 9, that will take place in the school’s gym. The event will commence at 9:30 a.m. and will end at 10:30 a.m.

The ceremony will include speeches orated by Temecula

Mayor, Mike Naggar and Marc Thiessen, who happened to be in the Pentagon on the day of the attacks in 2001. Thiessen has made several appearances on Fox News and is known for being the former speechwriter for President George W. Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

“As the 15th anniversary of 9/11 is coming up, I wanted to establish this memorial and bring Marc Thiessen to speak to remind my

peers and my community that we cannot forget what radical Islamic terrorism has done and is doing to not only America but the world,” Ath said.

Two days before the ceremony, Linfield students and volunteers from the community will join Ath by placing 2,977 American flags on Linfield High’s campus to commemorate each life lost during the 9/11 attacks.

Ath explained why she wanted

to organize a memorial this year by stating, “Although I was only 1-year-old when 9/11 occurred, what really made me want to establish this memorial is because right now in America, we are slowly fading away from our values. Every other week, we see terrorist attacks around the world and even some here on our American soil like in San Bernardino and Orlando.”

Unity is important for the success of the nation, Ath said.

“We must come together as a nation, put our differences aside, and work together to make sure that we can preserve our freedom and our safety for my generation and the generations ahead.”

Ath will be starting a Young Americans for Freedom club at her school this year to continue to organize more events and promote American pride.

Public Hearing set on planned Wine Country Tourism District RIVERSIDE – The Riverside County Board of Supervisors are scheduled a Sept. 13 public hearing to take testimony for and against the proposed Temecula Valley Wine Country Marketing District, which would require hoteliers to pay fees to promote the area.

The marketing district, analogous to a business improvement district under state law, was conceived by the nonprofit Visit Temecula Valley and received tentative support from the Riverside Board of Supervisors July 26.

Under the proposal, all lodge

Governor Brown signs Melendez’s Student Privacy Reform Legislation SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez (RLake Elsinore) announced today Governor Jerry Brown signed into law her legislation to ensure California students’ personal information is protected.

“Parents around the state spoke, and I listened, by authoring legislation that protects the private information of our students,” said Melendez. “Parents shouldn’t have to worry about their child’s identity being stolen because information collected by their school fell into the wrong hands.”

Earlier this year, a ruling in the court case Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association, et al. v. California Department of Education mandated all schools to provide sensitive student information – such as social security numbers, mental health and medical information – to a private organization. Later that ruling was overruled.

With the signing of Assembly Bill 2097, school districts are now

proprietors within the boundaries of county-designated wine country, currently totaling 31, would be required to set aside 2 percent of gross receipts from overnight stays and dedicate that revenue to the marketing district for promotions that elevate the Temecula Valley Wine Country’s profile.

Funds would be procured on a quarterly basis by the county office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector.

“Tourism marketing districts utilize the efficiencies of private sector

prohibited from gathering social security numbers and other sensitive information from students except when required by federal and state law.

“The judge’s original order was a clear lapse in judgement and she was held accountable by the thousands of parents who called and sent in letters of opposition,” said Melendez. “It is obvious the order did not have our children’s best interests at heart. No judge should ever put a child’s identity at risk of being exposed.”

Assemblymembers Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) and Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) are also joint authors on Assembly Bill 2097.

Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez represents the 67th Assembly District, which includes the 21 communities of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar and a portion of Hemet. It also includes the Riverside County unincorporated areas of Lake Mathews, Good Hope, Nuevo and Winchester.

operation in the market-based promotion of tourism,” according to an Economic Development Agency statement. “These special assessment districts allow lodging and tourism-related business owners to organize their efforts to increase tourism.”

It’s estimated the district would generate roughly $188,000 annually. When the county established the Palm Springs Desert Resort Communities Tourism Business Improvement District in 2008, not

every lodge proprietor was in favor.

Several operators complained that they were being placed at a competitive disadvantage because people visiting the area could search the internet for locations where socalled “transient occupancy taxes” didn’t apply.

The proposed wine country marketing district will be the subject of at least one additional board hearing after the Sept. 13 meeting, depending on what happens then.

MWD renews Diamond Valley Lake east marina lease with Urban Park Concessionaires Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California renewed the concession lease at the Diamond Valley Lake east marina.

MWD’s board action Aug. 16, extended the lease of Urban Park Concessionaires for 24 months.

The board authorized the preparation of a request for proposals for longer-term concession operation at the east marina and provided Urban Park Concessionaires a one-time payment of $122,000 in compensation for their operating loss last year when boat launching was suspended due to low lake levels in accordance with their current lease agreement.

In 2003 MWD authorized the construction of Phase I of the Diamond Valley Lake east marina and also issued requests for

proposals for contracts to supply services at a public marina. Urban Park Concessionaires provided the most favorable response for daily marina and rental fleet operations, a fee collection and reservation system, fish planting, lake security, sanitation and waste removal, and other support services. The contract provided for a fixed management fee for Urban Park Concessionaires and for reimbursement by MWD of expenses which exceeded gross receipts.

The initial contract period was for 30 months, although MWD intended to seek a longer-term agreement before the completion of Phase II of the marina facilities.

The initial contract was amended several times over the initial eight years, which included a lake elevation level low enough to suspend boat launching activities from October 2008 through December 2009.

Financial and water supply issues reduced MWD’s planned capital improvements for the marina facilities and also led to decreased lake elevations, which did not make the concession operations profitable.

By October 2011 a higher lake elevation encouraged visitor attendance and made higher revenues for the concessionaire more likely, and a five-year agreement with Urban Park Concessionaires was approved. The new contract eliminated the management fee and the reimbursement of expenses; Urban Park Concessionaires took responsibility for the entire operation and paid MWD a rent equal to 7 percent of gross revenues. The rental amount was reduced by $1,250 per month to compensate for inspections and tracking of watercraft which can transport detrimental invasive species.

The lake elevation declined from 2011 to 2016, and boat launching was suspended from April 2015 to May 2016. Urban Park Concessionaires incurred net operating losses of $122,000 during the 2015 calendar year.

The low water levels allowed construction to begin on the anticipated east marina improvements, and May 12, the MWD board approved the extension of the boat ramp. That work is expected to be complete in November and may enhance the viability of a self-sustaining marina operation.

The uncertainties led to a new concessionaire contract period of 24 months with a four-tier rent and expense reimbursement structure based on lake elevation and the associated historical financial performance.

In all four tiers Urban Park Concessionaires will deposit 5 percent of gross revenues into a maintenance fund for major repairs, replacements, and improvements to the facility and equipment. Urban Park Concessionaires will manage the maintenance fund, although any withdrawals will require approval from MWD’s agreement administrator.

If the lake elevation is 1,736

feet or higher, which historically has been the case 31 percent of the time, Urban Park Concessionaires will pay rent equal to 10 percent of gross revenues.

If the elevation is between 1,690 and 1,735 feet, which historically has been the situation 37 percent of the time, Urban Park Concessionaires will pay rent equal to 5 percent of gross revenues.

A lake elevation between 1,655 and 1,689 feet, which has accounted for 21 percent of the marina’s history, still allows for boat launching although the lower lake level reduces visitor participation and thus

concessionaire revenue. Urban Park Concessionaires would not pay rent under that situation, and MWD would not reimburse the management company for fixed expenses.

Boat launching would be suspended at a lake elevation below 1,655 feet, which has been the case during 11 percent of the marina’s operation. Under such lake levels Urban Park Concessionaires would not pay rent and would be reimbursed up to $16,000 per month for actual expenses incurred which are necessary to ensure the continued and safe operation of the marina.

Murrieta Field of Honor to partner with Gary Sinise Foundation, expects new opening day events Jacob Preal JPREAL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Few scenes come closer to reaching the magnitude of honoring our troops than a vast sea of red, white and blue. The emotional field of American flags is returning to Murrieta, Nov. 5-12 in celebration of America’s heroes. For this year’s Field of Honor, the Murrieta Rotary Club will be partnering with the Gary Sinise Foundation to bring the popular 5K “Run Forrest” Run to the event. Women’s Council of Realtors of Southwest Riverside County will be hosting the Military Resource and Services Expo at the

event as well, where vendors will be available to those in attendance.

Both attractions will be part of the opening day ceremonies held on the first day of the weeklong event.

A display of over 2,000 flags will be lined up in perfect rows and columns to honor personal heroes throughout the community.

The event is now expanding into other generous contributors that want to add more activities to the celebration.

“The Run Forrest Run will be a 5K starting and ending at Town Square Park,” said race chairman, Jim Yanoschik, in a press release. “The run/walk will be flat,

fast and friendly. There will be aid stations, a great goodie bag and lots of entertainment before and after the event. There will be online registration as well as day of race registration. We are partnering with Gemini Next Timing for race registration and timing.”

The Gary Sinise Foundation’s mission is to honor defenders, veterans, first responders and their families by creating and supporting programs that help build communities.

In addition to the 5K “Run Forrest” Run event, the Murrieta Field of Honor will also feature vendors of the Military Resource and ser-

vices expo hosted by the Women’s Council of Realtors of Southwest Riverside County. The council put on this event at Temecula City Hall two years ago. They have long awaited the chance to feature it in a public venue.

“We want to have at least 40 vendors and hopefully more,” said President of the Women’s Council of Realtors of Southwest Riverside County, Dee Fether. “Each vendor will have to somehow offer a service or resource – either free or heavily discounted – for current military and veterans and their families.”

The expo encourages vendors to promote activities children can enjoy. This can include balloons, cookie decorating, writing Christmas cards, making artwork and other items they can send abroad.

If interested in becoming a vendor, contact Dee Fether by calling (714) 907-7207, or by emailing hularealtordee@gmail.com.

Field of Honor will also be partnered with Wholesale Capital Corporation Charities, which will donate proceeds earned through participation in the event to the Gary Sinise Foundation.

“The proceeds go straight to the Gary Sinise Foundation, which

does incredible work for wounded veterans; one of them is our friend Andrew Bottrell, who is a triple-amputee,” said Ed Hoffman, President of Wholesale Capital Corporation.

“The foundation is working with us to retrofit Andrew’s home in San Diego so that it will be a smart home, automated for the needs of a triple amputee.”

Also taking an interest in the event, Paul Mitchell Salons will be doing a “cut-a-thon” to help raise money for the Gary Sinise Foundation. Courtney Davie, the Culture Specialist at the Temecula Paul Mitchell School said that the school plans to bring about 50 students who can take one client every 20 minutes.

DOWNTOWN from page A-1 outlining the plans and feedback from the city’s workshop held June 4.

Brian Mooney, Rick’s Community Planning and Sustainable Design Principal for the project, gave a presentation outlining the plan which includes green building practices, such as the use of solar on new construction, drought tolerant landscaping and best practices for stormwater management. The plan will also limit impacts to sensitive habitats that surround Murrieta Creek. Setbacks from the creek will ensure minimal disturbance to the area while also providing a public open space amenity.

Also included will be a transportation network that provides multiple choices for residents, employees and visitors to safely get around. Complete streets will create a balanced network of opportunities for walking, biking and automobile use. Parking management strategies will address issues related to mobility and parking as the downtown grows.

Murrieta’s downtown will include “attractive residential neighborhoods that will contribute to the increased activity and economic vibrancy of the area,” according to the study. Housing options, ranging from single family to multifamily to mixed use units, will be encouraged as well.

The area will have an abundance of amenities, such as parks, gathering spaces, community events and schools that contribute to a highquality of life for all who live there, according to the presentation.

“Downtown has unique, historic significance to Murrieta,” Mooney said. “It is important that the area maintains an element of its historic character and encourages architecture that is compatible.”

Murrieta City Council is expected to hold a workshop on the plan in late September or early October with public hearings and adoption of the plan expected before the end of the year.

HS Football: Zero Week ignites the lights for Friday nights

Heritage defeated Great Oak in Week Zero action, 21-0.

JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The first official week of high school football in California has come and gone and it all started with Zero Week.

Zero Week in the Southwest Riverside County region began Aug. 26, just 11 days after the first official practice date making it interesting to see where the cards land. Players are required to have nine days of practice before scrimmaging or playing in a game, so with that said, the preparation is anything but “zero.”

A Week Zero game can be stressful to the coaching staff for any number of reasons, whether it’s preparedness, paperwork, transfers, physicals or any other number of things, which can make it a huge scramble to get ready for the season. The added benefit of playing Zero Week results in a bye week in the middle of the season, leading up to a breath of fresh air in the grand scheme of things. It gives the banged up guys a chance to heal and it gives an extra week of preparation for the next week’s football game. Despite the rush to make

sure everyone is ready, the players definitely prefer getting the season started early since they’re kind of tired of hitting each other and more ready to go against somebody else by this time.

Nearly 20 local teams took to the field this past Friday night and here is the tale of the tape:

carries.

The Patriots will next host the Los Osos Grizzlies, who fell to Carter 21-17 in their season opener.

Great Oak will be home to face King who had a BYE in Zero Week.

Southwestern League Great Oak (0-1) – 0 Heritage (1-0) – 21 (Sunbelt League)

Recap: Vista Murrieta - The Broncos gave new head coach, David Olson, his first win in dramatic fashion. With a tied up score at the half, 6-6, emotions were high for the school that was selected as last year’s most spirited school in the nation. Just 5:54 was remaining in the game when QB Karson Greeley hit junior receiver Khalil Shakir on a 4-yard pass in the endzone to put the Broncos in the lead for the first time in the game. After a turnover on downs, junior RB Javelin Guidry, scurried 39 yards down field to put the game away on the Broncos next possession.

Notes: Guidry led the Broncos on the ground with 42 yards on 6 carries. Junior De’vion Sneed had 47 yards and before he left the game with a shoulder injury, Cole Dubots ran for 37 yards. Karson Greeley

Recap: Heritage - WR James Phillips scored on a 26-yard touchdown pass. Sherod White scored the second TD of the game on a 1-yard run and the final score for Heritage came on a 3-yard run by Javier Luna to make it 21-0. Patriot quarterback Devon Freedland completed 4 of his 8 passes for 73 yards and a touchdown. White ended the game with 85 yards on 14 carries and Luna touched the ball 17 times for 76 yards.

Notes: Great Oak QB, McGwire Bustamante, threw for 162 yards and 3 interceptions. Running back Ronald Robinson led the Wolfpack on the ground with 49 yards on 11

Madison (0-1) – 9 Vista Murrieta (1-0) – 20

threw for 175 yards and ran for 40 while brother Kade Greeley caught 3 passes for 81yards. Kalil Shakir hauled in 4 catches for a total of 39 yards.

Vista Murrieta will be home to face Redondo Union this week who made it past Rancho Verde 28-22 in Zero Week action.

San Jacinto (0-1) – 20 Temecula Valley (1-0) – 24 Recap: Temecula Valley held on to grab their first win of the season despite a late push by the visiting San Jacinto Tigers. Heading into the half San Jacinto was up 7-6, but a 15-point third quarter gave the Golden Bears a bit of confidence heading into the fourth, until troubled waters seemed to be getting the best of TV. Senior kicker, Spencer Stone, gave the Golden Bears a 24 – 7 lead after he drilled a 37-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter, but Tigers QB, Isaiah Bolding rallied the Tiger’s offense and drove them downfield to score on two touchdown drives, connecting with senior receiver Garrett Geboy on both plays before time ran out. Geboy had 6 catches

with 59 receiving yards and two TD’s.

Notes: TV quarterback Shane Oberhuber was 13 for 18 with 89 passing yards and scored one TD on the ground. Zachary Simon had 13 carries for 60 rushing yards and Dewayne Holmes carried the ball 10 times and had 112 yards rushing with one TD. Next week the Golden Bears will travel to Lake Elsinore and face another strong Tiger’s team. The Elsinore Tigers are also coming off a season opening win after beating Hesperia 37-7.

The San Jacinto Tigers will also be in Lake Elsinore next week facing off against the Temescal Canyon Titans at Temescal Canyon High School. Both games are set to kick off at 7 p.m.

Murrieta Valley (1-0) – 55 Santiago (0-1) – 31 The question was asked and sophomore quarterback, Hank Bachmeier, answered it by igniting an impressive Nighthawk attack in Zero Week. Murrieta Valley proved

ZEROWEEK from page B-1 that their explosive offense can score, and score quickly. Bachmeier’s first pass of the game went to TJ Griffin for a 35-yard TD. The battle ensued between the Sharks of Santiago and the Nighthawks for the first half, but the Murrieta Valley defense stood their ground in the second half and let Bachmeier and his receiver core do their thing while Austin Bacher did his thing on the ground, scoring three TD’s on the night with his 96 rushing yards.

Notes: Murrieta Valley - Senior Lika Palmer ran back a kickoff 95 yards for a TD, Bachmeier (17-23; 249 yards passing; 4 TD’s; 1 interception) connected with junior Marquis Spiker five times in the game for three TD’s in his 117 yard night. TJ Griffin had 6 catches for 106 yards with one TD and Trevor Whitehead led the Nighthawk defense with 14 tackles.

The Nighthawks will be home this week to face Redlands. The Terriers defeated Palm Springs 42-7 in their season opener.

Rancho Cucamonga (1-0) – 36 Chaparral (0-1) – 7 Rancho Cucamonga outplayed the Pumas on both sides of the ball in Zero Week action, shutting down Chaparral’s offense all night despite an early TD by junior running back Jacob De Lara scoring on 1-yard run to make the score 16-7 in the first half.

The second half was dominated by the Cougars, testing the Pumas in their season opener as Rancho Cucamonga quarterback, Nick Acosta completed 18 out of his 34 passes for 277-yards. Cougar running back Jaylon Redd ended up gaining 147-yards on 16 carries and seniors Thomas Graham and Jaivian Lofton each caught 5 passes for a combined 189-yards.

Notes: Chaparral - Senior Quentin Barry threw for 182-yards, completing 9 of 16 passes. Junior Dawson Fitzgerald and senior Michael Onyemaobi had three catches apiece while De Lara carried the ball 26 times gaining 83-yards.

The Pumas will travel to Riverside to play Poly this week. The Bears lost to Miller21-7 in their opener.

Sunbelt League In what could be a first for the Sunbelt League football teams, all six teams won their season opener.

“It is what it is,” Robison said of not finishing his first main event.

“I got hit from behind and it totally took the car out.”

The next Night of Destruction races, including the Demo Cross competition, will occur Sept. 3, if weather permits although Robison does not expect his car to be repaired for that race.

The 26-year-old Robison was born in Bellflower but spent the majority of his childhood in Lake Elsinore and graduated from Elsinore High School in 2008. Last year he pitted for Wildomar driver

Weston Hughes, who made his auto racing debut at Perris during 2015.

Hughes had teamed with Oceanside driver Nathan Chavarria, but this year Chavarria offered Robison the opportunity to drive the mid-1990s BMW 5 Series car.

“He said if I can get the car up I can run it,” Robison said. “I got the opportunity to run this car, so I figured I’d go out there.”

Robison and Hughes work on each others’ cars. Hughes was 13th in the July 25 Demo Cross main event, and Hughes also finished fifth in that night’s Trailer Figure 8 race.

Ready.gov provides necessary resources for wildfire preparedness Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Here in Southern California, wildfire is always a risk. But, this year that risk has increased exponentially as the worst drought in the state’s history continues to drag on. Just two weeks ago, a massive fire broke out in San Bernardino County, shutting down the I-15 through the Cajon Pass and scorching just over 36,000 acres. The “Blue Cut Fire” Unified Command has announced that an estimate of 105 single family residences and 216 outbuildings were destroyed by the Blue Cut Fire, and three single family residences and five other structures were damaged.

If you think you know where I am going with this, you are probably right. I realized this is a good reminder to us all to be fire ready.

Last summer, I wrote briefly about emergency preparedness and the resources available to those in the local area and about Ready.gov,

the website that I have used forever in preparing for emergencies no matter where I have lived. There is some great information there, and this week, I would encourage everyone to take a look at their wildfire preparedness section.

Be Smart, Take Part and Prepare are the three areas this website focuses on, and they all make sense to me.

In the “Be Smart” section, there is a neat little download you can save to your desktop, phone or tablet and refer back to as necessary, but the gist of this little gem is simple. In it you can learn how to protect yourself and your property in the event of a wildfire. Covering everything from what wildfire is to what the risk is in the area where we live – I’ll give you a hint, we’d have to live on the sun to have a higher risk – this handout is a must have for everyone who lives in Southern California. You can download it by visiting www.Ready.gov and clicking on the “How to Prepare for a

Wildfire” link.

In the “Prepare” section, there is a Wildfire Playbook, great for homeowners and business owners alike. This download offers up resources for households and organizations to discuss and practice plans and safety measures to improve resilience for specific disasters, including wildfires. I know what I need to grab from my office if the area is threatened by a wildfire, do you?

The “Prepare” section of the website encourages you to “start the conversation.” When people talk about preparedness, they are more likely to take action, according to the site. So in an effort to get people talking and planning, this portion of the site offer customizable promotional materials like posters, banners, logos, e-vites and more.

The day my then fiancé and the kids moved into our house, I was still in Georgia. But they saw the smoke rising from what they

quickly discovered was the Temprano Fire. Burning near our newly purchased home, they watched and waited instead of unloading the UHaul, ready to “bug out” as Andy so delicately put it to me via a text message, as helicopters dropped water and firefighters fought back the blaze.

That one was a wake-up call for us. Our emergency kits, complete with important papers, medications, a video (and photos) of everything in our home are right where we can grab them and evacuate quickly if we have to. We have 10-feet of defensible space between our home and anything flammable, the Red Cross Shelter Finder App is downloaded on all of our phones and we have a plan in place on where to meet should we be separated.

One final note on evacuation. If you are told to go, then go. Trying to save your property or sheltering in place is a foolish risk that no one should take. I think that a San

Bernardino firefighter who posted on Social Media during the height of the “Blue Cut Fire” said it best.

“The last two days, I have heard 10 to 20 calls to the firefighters running the Blue Cut Fire, that someone didn’t evacuate, and now they need someone to rescue them,” the firefighter wrote. “I don’t understand why people think they can save their home with nothing but a garden hose, no gear, and no training. Then when they realize Mother Nature’s inferno is coming straight at them, call 911 for firefighters to come rescue them. Please, be prepared, do your clearance, and evacuate when told to evacuate so we can do our job.”

So call me a nag for harping on emergency preparedness, or call me crazy for my preparation processes, but should my family and I be faced with the unthinkable, we are ready to do what we need to do to stay alive and well in the event of an emergency. I sincerely hope you are too.

Improving patient access to medical care Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Many people have allergies in one form or another. When we need medical help for our allergies we need it immediately, not after months of unnecessary delay because of antiquated regulations.

That’s why I introduced Assembly Bill 1739, which passed the As-

sembly with a unanimous vote this week.

AB 1739 speeds access to allergy care for Medi-Cal patients by allowing primary care doctors to use a blood test to diagnose allergies without referral to a specialist, as currently required under the program’s outdated reimbursement policies. Those policies will be brought up-to-date to make them

consistent with current medical standards so that blood tests are treated as equivalent to skin-prick tests for confirming an allergy diagnosis.

Because of the recent expansion in the number of Medi-Cal recipients, many patients are having difficulty finding physicians who will accept their insurance. This problem is compounded for those

seeking the dwindling number of specialists accepting Medi-Cal due to the state not re-instating the reimbursement rates for physicians to accept this form of insurance.

The lack of specialists has forced many patients to go undiagnosed and untreated for months while waiting for an appointment with an allergist. Under AB 1739, patient health will improve and taxpayer

dollars will be saved by reducing the number of unnecessary referrals to more expensive specialists and by requiring fewer office visits.

AB 1739 has been forwarded to Governor Brown, who will have until Sept. 30, to sign the bill. If you would like to weigh-in on this legislation, the Governor’s office may be contacted online at www. gov.ca.gov/home.php.

many are just working the system?

Are they collecting welfare and begging too? One man in Nashville a couple of weeks ago said he could not get a job because he would lose his $700 a month check.

Many in America are in dire situations due to drugs. Dependency on heroin and other devastating drugs are destroying people’s health, families and finances, putting them on the streets. Millions are dying early deaths due to drug addictions.

Interestingly, everybody I am seeing holding up “homeless” signs are either white people or black people.

I have not yet seen a Hispanic on the street begging for food or claiming homelessness, nor have I seen any

Asians or Middle Easterners. After this article is published I may hear differently. I haven’t been everywhere.

We have to get Americans off the street. Bumming is not a good use of life. Every city in America must come up with a solid plan for temporary housing and utilizing people into a local constructive workforce.

If they are not sick and physically able to do something, then helping the community and contributing something is better than begging on the street.

What color is homelessness?

Glenn Mollette SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

A young man stood on a street corner in St. Paul, Minnesota last Sunday. He was holding up a sign describing his plight, “Homeless, hungry, need help.” He was across the street from a church where I was speaking. I stopped to talk to him and did give him a small donation.

I asked him about his situation and he said, “I’ll be honest with you.

I became addicted to drugs and I have burned all my bridges. I have family in the area but I can’t go back to any of them.” Some people have no place to go while others have places to which they feel they can

never return.

Two weekends ago my wife and I were walking Michigan Avenue in Chicago. On every block there were at least two people holding up signs saying they were homeless and needed help.

Nashville Tennessee for the last several years has had thousands of homeless people on any given night. It seems today that every city has homeless people begging for financial help. Have we become a nation of beggars? I pause here and say but for the grace of God it could be me. My hope and prayer is that I can avoid homelessness and so can all the people I hold near and dear to me. However, I don’t like seeing

anybody homeless.

When we first started out on Michigan Avenue we were in the heart of the shopping center when I saw what appeared to be a grandmother, her daughter and month old baby huddled up in a doorway. The baby had a pacifier and was held by who appeared to be her young mother. I walked by but had to turn around and give them something. “I don’t know how you got to this point but here is a little something. I hope it helps,” I said. They said thank you as they slightly nodded their heads.

As I have seen so much homelessness in our country in the last few years I always wonder how many are truly homelessness and how

Health Nation braces for soaring Obamacare rate hikes, says AMAC WASHINGTON, DC – The 2016 Presidential Elections have obscured recent news about the failing Affordable Care Act, including the “astounding rate increases in store for so-called beneficiaries,” Dan Weber, president of the Associa-

tion of Mature American Citizens, reports.

Enrollees across the country are facing double-digit hikes in premiums, he says. “For example, Robert Laszewski who is perhaps the leading authority on Obamacare

revealed recently that the biggest insurer in North Carolina is asking for an 18.8 percent rate increase for 2017 and the second biggest insurer, Aetna, is seeking to raise rates by 24.5 percent. Family plans there already cost as much as $10,000.”

Laszewski is president of Health Policy and Strategy Associates, LLC (HPSA), a policy and marketplace consulting firm specializing in health policy. His credentials include being named the Washington Post’s Wonkblog “Pundit of the Year” in 2013.

He says that California is a prime example of the realities of the marketplace. Covered California, that state’s insurance marketplace, is looking at an average rate increase of 13.2 percent for next year. However, Laszewski notes, “the two biggest carriers are raising rates by much more than the average increase. Blue Shield said its average increase was 19.9 percent and Anthem said it would increase rates an average of 17.2 percent.”

Laszewski points out that the California exchange blames the soaring rates on the rising costs of healthcare. But, he says, the Milliman Medical Index shows that the baseline medical cost trend was up by just 4.7 percent year-over-year, the lowest annual increase since Milliman first measured the cost trend in 2001.

Milliman is one of the world’s largest providers of actuarial and

“

related products and services.

“No one is laughing at the irony of Obamacare’s official name, the Affordable Care Act,” said Weber.

“The fact is the ACA is having a significant and dramatic negative impact on the pocket books of anyone who purchases health insurance. This comes at a time when the country is in the hole financially and middle class households are carrying the heaviest burden. How bad do things have to get before we realize that Obamacare has to go. It shouldn’t have been enacted in the first place and needs to be repealed and replaced. If the candidates don’t make an issue of it in November, the voters should.”

Older adult subjects wanted for balance study TEMECULA – The Geri-Fit Company and Balance Tracking Systems are looking for volunteers to get their balance tested, then partake in three months of Geri-Fit strength training exercise classes.

The study will track the effectiveness of the Geri-Fit® strength training exercise program and the

improvement it has on strength and balance. The study will be headed by Dr. Daniel Goble Ph.D., a professor in Kinesiology and an Associate Professor of Exercise and Nutritional Science at San Diego State University and several graduate students.

To qualify for the study, participants must not be doing any kind of

strength training exercises (walking is OK). Study subjects must complete three months of Geri-Fit classes and make a commitment to come to class twice-a-week for 12 weeks straight. Class sites are in Temecula, Menifee and Laguna Niguel. In exchange for being in the study, volunteers can participate

Know your Medicare rights – your right to appeal Cate Kortzeborn SPECIAL TO THE VILLAGE NEWS

As a person with Medicare, you have important rights. One of them is the right to appeal, an action you can take if you disagree with a coverage or payment decision by Medicare or your Medicare health plan. For example, you can appeal if Medicare or your plan denies: A request for a health care service, supply, item, or prescription drug that you think you should get.

A request for payment of a health care service, supply, item, or prescription drug you already got.

A request to reduce the amount you must pay for a health care service, supply, item or prescription drug.

You can also appeal if Medicare or your Medicare Advantage plan stops providing or paying for all or part of a health care service, supply, item, or prescription drug you think you still need.

If you decide to file an appeal, you can ask your doctor, supplier, or other health care provider for any information that may help your case.

Keep a copy of everything you send to Medicare or your health plan as part of your appeal.

How you file an appeal depends on the type of Medicare coverage you have. If you have Original Medicare, following these instructions: First, get the “Medicare Summary Notice” (MSN) that shows the item or service you’re appealing. Your MSN is the notice you get every three months that lists all the services billed to Medicare, and tells you if Medicare paid for the services.

Second, circle the item(s) you disagree with on the MSN, and write an explanation of why you disagree with the decision on the MSN or a separate piece of paper and attach it to the MSN. Third, include your name, phone number, and Medicare number on the MSN, and sign it. Keep a copy for your records.

Fourth, send the MSN or a copy, to the company that handles bills for Medicare (known as the Medicare Administrative Contractor) listed on the MSN. You can include any additional information about your appeal.

Or you can use CMS Form 20027 and file it with the company that handles bills for Medicare. To view or print this form, visit www.cms.gov/cmsforms/downloads/cms20027.pdf. Or call 1-800-633-4227 to have a copy mailed to you. TTY users should call (877) 486-2048.

Help for parents of children who stutter is as close as your library Thanks to some generous donations, the Stuttering Foundation has donated a new DVD, entitled “Kids Who Stutter: Parents Speak,” to 8,800 public libraries across the country.

In this 16 minute DVD, parents and speech-language experts talk about how to promote easier talking as they interact with their children.

The professionals offer simple tips that parents can follow easily.

The DVD features some of the world’s leading therapists with children who stutter: Lisa A Scott, Ph.D. of the Florida State University’s School of Communication Science and Disorders; Ellen Kelly, Ph.D., of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine; speech-language consultants Frances Cook, MBE, MSc, Willie Botterill, MSc and Elaine Kelman, MSc., from the Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children in London.

“This is an important tool for families and teachers of children who stutter,” added Jane Fraser, president of the nonprofit Stuttering Foundation.

“Our latest DVD is designed to give parents and teachers the tools they need to play a vital role in the process of helping children who stutter.”

For more information about stuttering, write the Stuttering Foundation, P.O. Box 11749; Memphis, TN 38111-0749, call (800) 992-9392 or visit www.stutteringhelp.org.

You must file the appeal within 120 days of the date you get the MSN in the mail. You’ll generally get a decision from the Medicare Administrative Contractor within 60 days after they receive your request.

If Medicare will cover the item(s) or service(s), they’ll be listed on your next MSN. If you have a Medicare Advantage or other health plan, read the materials your plan sends you, call your plan or visit www.Medicare.gov/ appeals. In some cases, you can file an expedited, or fast appeal.

If you have a Medicare prescription drug plan, even before you pay for a given drug, you have the right to: Get a written explanation (called a “coverage determination”) from your Medicare drug plan. A coverage determination is the initial decision made by your Medicare drug plan (not the pharmacy) about your benefits, including whether a certain drug is covered, whether you’ve met the requirements to get a requested drug, how much you pay for a drug, and whether to make an exception to a

plan rule when you request it.

Ask for an exception if you or your prescriber (your doctor or other health care provider who’s legally allowed to write prescriptions) believe you need a drug that isn’t on your plan’s formulary.

Ask for an exception if you or your prescriber believe that a coverage rule (like prior authorization) should be waived.

Ask for an exception if you think you should pay less for a higher tier (more expensive) drug because you or your prescriber believe you can’t take any of the lower tier (less expensive) drugs for the same condition.

For more information on exceptions and your other Medicare rights, read the “Medicare & You 2016” handbook, at www.medicare.gov/ Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf.

The balance-testing portion of the study is free and is the courtesy of BTrackS Balance Tracking Systems.

Francesca Fisher, founder of the Geri-Fit program, is “hopeful that the outcomes will show a measurable difference in balance and body stability which will translate into better fall prevention management and improved independent living.”

in the Geri-Fit program for FREE during the 12 weeks and get a free balance test. Participants will find out if they are at risk of falling so that proper interventions can be made to further reduce that risk.

The study is very simple: you will get your balance tested on day one. This consists of standing on a balance measuring device that tests your postural sway for three minutes (you just stand there and the machine records your sway). After the first four weeks of Geri-Fit classes, you’ll get your balance tested again to see if there has been any improvement.

Explosive materials found in car leads to arrest LAKE ELSINORE (CNS) – A Lake Elsinore man was arrested on suspicion of possessing multiple explosive devices after officers found black powder and fuses in a car, authorities said Aug. 25.

Anthony Cheek, 60, was booked

at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta 9 p.m. Wednesday, and his bail was set at $35,000, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Officers responded to a report of an assault about 6:05 p.m.

Wednesday at a home in the 200 block of East Graham Avenue, where they found an unconscious man, Deputy Mike Vasquez said.

The man was taken to a hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. Witnesses directed

officers to a white SUV parked nearby possibly linked with the alleged assault. Officers detained three individuals that were inside the vehicle for questioning, Vasquez said. One of the suspects was Cheek.

Man fatally shot in San Jacinto home SAN JACINTO (CNS) – A man was shot and killed in his San Jacinto home Tuesday, Aug. 9, according to Riverside County Sheriff’s reports.

The fatal shooting occurred

shortly before 2 a.m. in the 400 block of West 2nd Street, just off Ramona Boulevard, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Sgt. Ray Huskey said deputies

were called to the location to investigate reports of a man down. On arrival they discovered the victim suffering from several gunshot wounds to the upper body. The man, who was not immediately identi-

fied, was rushed to a trauma center, where he died a short time later.

Huskey did not indicate a possible motive for the shooting, nor confirm whether any potential suspect or suspects had been identified.

Officers determined that two the individuals were not involved in the reported assault. But, during the investigation they found black powder and fuses in the car, which could be used to make explosive devices, Vasquez said.

Cheek was arrested after officers concluded the materials were allegedly his. The other two suspects were released, Vasquez said. w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

Sheriff’s officials confirm 5 bodies found after fire TEMECULA – A homicide investigation was underway Tuesday, Aug. 30, at a home just east of Temecula where five bodies were discovered after a fire tore through the property.

The blaze at the single-story residence, located in the 41400 block of Cruz Way, off Calle Nopal, was re-

ported shortly before 6 a.m. Monday.

Riverside County Fire Department crews knocked the flames down within an hour and discovered the bodies while sifting through the burned-out property, according to sheriff’s officials.

None of the victims have been

identified, and autopsies are pending, sheriff’s Sgt. Wally Clear said.

“The origins of the fire have not been determined and are still under investigation,” Clear said.

Investigators have been unable to confirm initial reports that the property may have doubled as a se-

nior care facility, Deputy Armando Munoz said.

Arson and homicide investigators are working together to unravel what transpired at the home and asked anyone with information to contact the sheriff’s Central Homicide Unit at (951) 955-2777.

Probationers with alleged gang ties sentenced to state prison in stolen car case MURRIETA (CNS) – Two probationers who stole a car and flashed fake IDs to Murrieta police before being questioned were each sentenced to state prison Aug. 4.

Dennis Morales, 26, and Byron Leith Wauls, 19, were arrested in March after they were caught in the stolen vehicle. Each defendant pleaded guilty to auto theft with a sentence-enhancing street gang activity allegation under plea agreements negotiated with the Riverside County district attorney’s office.

In exchange for their admissions, prosecutors dropped misdemeanor charges of possessing burglary tools and presenting false identification to law enforcement.

Superior Court Judge Kelly Hansen certified the terms of the plea deals and imposed a 16-month sentence on Wauls and a five-year sentence on Morales.

According to Murrieta police Lt. Tony Conrad, in the predawn hours of March 6, a concerned resident called 911 to report possible criminal activity near the

intersection of Alamansa Court and Tarragona Drive.

Patrol officers went to the location and spotted the defendants cruising the block, prompting the officers to stop and question the pair, Conrad said.

Further investigation revealed that both men were on probation and the car they were using had been reported stolen in Lake Elsinore Feb. 10, Conrad said.

Conrad said “shaved keys, narcotics paraphernalia, black gloves” and other suspicious items were

seized from the vehicle.

The defendants were taken into custody without incident. According to court records, Morales had a prior vehicle theft conviction, while Wauls had a misdemeanor conviction for vandalism.

Eds: Riverside County district attorney’s Office PIO John Hall can be reached at (951) 955-8662; Morales’ attorney, Deputy Public Defender Mark Davis, at (951) 304-5600; Wauls’ attorney, Cheryl Thompson, at (951) 565-6386.

Travel trailer and house damaged in Elsinore blaze LAKE ELSINORE (CNS) – A travel trailer and house were damaged Aug. 24 in a fire that erupted on a property near Lake Elsinore.

The non-injury blaze was reported about 10:20 a.m. near the intersection of Broomall Avenue

and Lorimer Street, in an unincorporated community of Lakeland Village, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

An agency spokeswoman said a dozen engine crews and a truck company, with about 45 personnel,

were sent to the location and encountered flames in the singlewide travel coach, as well as in the attic of an adjacent 1,000-square-foot house.

Firefighters contained the blaze within 30 minutes. The property

was apparently unoccupied.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Hemet man leads police on pursuit into San Jacinto HEMET (CNS) – A probationer who allegedly fled from Hemet police and led officers on a high-speed chase to San Jacinto was arrested Aug. 24 following a struggle.

Brandon Michael Hoffman, 24, was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of felony evading, reckless driving and resisting arrest Aug. 24. He is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Lt. Eric Dickson reported officers spotted Hoffman at the wheel of a blue Lexus shortly before 3 a.m. on Florida Avenue and attempted to stop him for erratic driving. The officers said the suspect floored the Lexus, and headed north on Soboba Street.

“A pursuit was initiated and Hoffman led officers through portions of northeastern Hemet and into the city of San Jacinto,” the

lieutenant said. “Hoffman stopped the vehicle in the driveway of a home in the 1900 block of Whitman Drive, where he exited the vehicle and fled on foot.”

According to Dickson, officers went after the suspect, catching up to him moments later. But the suspect allegedly put up a fight, tangling with the patrolmen until he was finally subdued. No one was injured.

According to court records, Hoffman has an outstanding felony warrant for probation violations connected to a 2015 conviction for creating a malicious disturbance.

He was sentenced to 36-monthsprobation for that crime and was also ordered to stay away from his ex-wife. He allegedly violated the domestic violence restraining order.

Man who allegedly ran over Hemet teen arraigned on murder charge BANNING (CNS) – A young man accused of deliberately running over a 17-year-old Hemet boy after an argument last month has pleaded not guilty to murder.

Cesar Amilcar Escobar, 20, was arrested with his 17-year-old girlfriend, Alexis Trujillo, last month for the alleged slaying of Andrew Rodriguez. Escobar was arraigned before Riverside County Superior Court Judge Jorge Hernandez. The judge scheduled a felony settlement

conference for Sept. 30 at the Banning Hall of Justice.

Escobar remains in custody in lieu of $1 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

Trujillo, who is being prosecuted as an adult, is being held at Riverside Juvenile Hall and is slated to be arraigned next month.

According to Hemet police Lt. Eddie Pust, detectives identified the defendants after speaking with witnesses and collecting other

Man killed in SUV crash into Temecula utility pole TEMECULA (CNS) – Authorities released the name of a man who was fatally injured when his SUV plowed into a power pole in Temecula Tuesday, Aug. 23.

Brent Shook, 47, of Temecula died at Temecula Valley Hospital less than an hour after the afternoon crash on Temecula Parkway, just east of Margarita Road.

Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt.

Chad Loeffler said Shook was westbound on Temecula Parkway about 4:20 p.m. when his SUV suddenly veered onto the grass shoulder, clipped a street sign and ran head-on into a utility pole.

Witnesses came to the motorist’s aid, administering whatever help they could until paramedics arrived, Loeffler said. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

evidence. Detectives believe the victim was deliberately struck by Escobar the night of July 18 in the 800 block of Sunjoy Drive, near Wooley Street, Pust said.

“It was determined from witness statements that this incident occurred after a verbal altercation between the deceased and ... the two occupants in the vehicle,” Pust said. “The vehicle left the area in a high rate of speed after the victim was struck.”

According to Pust, Rodriguez was found unconscious and was transported to Hemet Valley Medical Center, where he died less than 45 minutes later.

A possible motive was not disclosed, though investigators initially booked Escobar on suspicion of robbery, as well as murder.

The defendant has no documented adult convictions in Riverside County.

A thriving downtown full of shopping, art galleries and restaurants are just a few of the reasons that Hemet was named one of the Top 10 Most Walkable Cities in Southern California.

The list naming Hemet as one of the state’s most walkable cities was compiled by Redfin.com, a residential real estate company that provides web-based real estate database and brokerage services.

“We wanted to make sure the results of our study didn’t just return the main retail hubs in SoCal’s largest cities since having great walkability is most important in places where people actually live,” said Jeffery Marino, a communications specialist for Redfin. “So, we limited our results to neighborhoods in SoCal cities with a population of no more than 300,000 and neighborhoods that have at least 1,000 residents.”

Hemet came in at No. 9 on the list, behind the cities of Santa Barbara, Glendale, Santa Monica, Whittier, Oxnard, Pasadena, El Monte and Ontario. Lancaster rounded out the Top 10.

“Downtown Hemet is in the midst of significant revitaliza-

tion,” said Redfin agent Jennifer Williams. “The city’s planning process began just about a year ago and is set to be finalized by the end of 2016. There is already a great deal of historic infrastructure in the downtown area and the city is working on updating the historical buildings to bring in more local businesses, shopping and transportation options for the residents.

Check out the Restoring Downtown Hemet Facebook page to stay updated on all of the amazing progress this little city in the Inland Empire is making.”

Hemet City Manager Alex Meyerhoff said the city making the list was “fantastic” news.

“Hemet is experiencing a significant downtown revitalization,” he said. “Our downtown is vibrant and an exciting place to be. Hemet’s pedestrian friendly downtown is the cultural and educational heart of the city. Where else can you experience live music at lunch on a Thursday?”

Meyerhoff said that with the real estate market conditions being what they are, the city’s affordability will attract millennials to the downtown as the city continues to transform the area.

“As young professionals move to the city, they will revitalize neighborhoods and establish new small

businesses, live-work spaces and artist’s lofts,” he said.

Currently the city is working on a Specific Plan for the area which will streamline the development review and building permit processes, Meyerhoff said.

“City staff is working very closely with the development community,” he said. “It features historic architecture, museums, unique shop, restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses, the Historic Hemet Theater, sporting goods and the incredible Hemet Library.

“The downtown serves as the city’s business incubator,” Meyerhoff continued. “New businesses

are opening daily which enhance the visitor experience and complement the existing diversified business community.

Hemet/San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Andy Anderson said the group is excited to have an active role in the development of the recently created Hemet Downtown Specific Plan.

“The primary objectives of the project are to preserve and enhance the historic core, recommend transit oriented land uses, create an attractive, pedestrian-friendly and vibrant community hub for civic, social, cultural and employment activities,” Anderson said.

According to Anderson, Historic Downtown Hemet has recently seen the expansion of Downtown Deli as well as the addition of the Harvard Street Bakery and Santiago’s Mexican Foods.

“Visitors can stroll Harvard street enjoying shopping and entertainment such as the Diamond Valley Arts Council, Hemet Valley Arts Association and take in a performance at the Historic Hemet Theatre,” he said. “Newly opened downtown business, Destination Coffee Bar & Bistro provides musical performances and food at the unique Hemet Depot station location.”

The appeal of live music, education, culture and entertainment being readily available, every day of the week make Hemet’s Historic Downtown hard to ignore.

“Parks and other green spaces which are inviting for pedestrians anchor the area. Future improvements include the restored Hemet Elementary School,” Meyerhoff said. “As you can see, Downtown Hemet is happening!”

area overlooking the valley. On Sunday, visitors can partake in Funday Sunday, which hosts a yard game tournament.

“We run the tournaments in brackets, and have two simultaneous games going,” said Falkner.

“Normally, the over 21 winner gets to pick one of four selected wines to purchase for a dollar. For our Labor Day event, the tournament winner gets all four wines for a dollar. It’s a great time for everyone. We will keep these going as long as we have good weather, and will pick it up again once the weather improves next year.”

These events are a perfect example of the fun that is had every weekend at Falkner Winery. Upon visiting the winery, guests are greeted by laughter of others who are having a fantastic time tasting fabulous wines while enjoying time with their closest friends.

An added benefit to the winery’s festivities is the feast offered for the Labor Day weekend. There will be freshly prepared barbecue, including specialty tacos and ribs on both days in the lawn area along with wine by the bottle or glass and sangria and Luscitos sold by the glass or carafe at 50 percent off.

Several wines will be available at under $15 per bottle if purchased by the case. In addition, guests who go to Falkner this weekend will enjoy the new releases of a 2015 Irresistible Rosato Rosé, 2015 chardonnay and 2013 Amante-Super Tuscan wine. For those who love Falkner Winery’s 2014 Rosato and 2014 chardonnay, those wines will be offered at 50 percent off per crate.

Additionally, several of Falkner’s library wines and all wines will be on a buy three wines for the cost of two sale.

For those who don’t want to cook this weekend, Falkner Winery’s Pinnacle Restaurant has lunch specials available, including a wonderful whole 1.5-pound Maine lobster and beef filet for $49 complete with two sides. Another option available for diners is a lunch for two for only $59 plus tax and gratuity, featuring three courses served for one low price.

As always, all food will be prepared by Executive Chef Gianni Ciciliot and his outstanding staff.

Guests can sit either indoors or outdoors of the breathtakingly beautiful restaurant, which has a curved glass window that displays the beauty of the wine country.

While the Labor Day weekend events might be special for the long weekend, they are just an indicator of the type of fun that Ray Falkner and his team have implemented as a part of the winery’s persona.

“I had dreamed that this winery would be like, this, and it took a lot of work to make it happen,” said Falkner. “We wanted to do what we could to improve the quality of our wine, and also improve the quality of wine in the region.”

Falkner Winery is located at 40620 Calle Contento in Temecula. For more information on Falkner Winery, or to get information about Pinnacle Restaurant, go to www.falknerwinery.com.

Muna Elias named Murrieta Arts Council’s first-ever Artist of the Month Tory Wadlington SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When people think of quilts, they probably picture old women sitting around a table, sharing stories while weaving tradition and family emotion into the fabrics. The finished product is a beautiful and colorful piece that will speak for the family for years to come.

The quilts made by local artist Muna Elias show a whole new dimension of raw emotion and contagious energy. From stitching with real metal, hand-tying over 1,000 French knots and using paint skins, they are more than just art and more than just a statement – they are an invitation into her world. A world that is inhabited with her wildly creative family.

Some people in this area may know Muna from her remarkable shoe store, Elias Shoes on Madison Avenue in Murrieta. She is also a highly-regarded fiber artist. Her works are much more than crafts – they are art pieces that have been on magazine covers and in museums across the country.

Muna loves to challenge herself to create art out of materials that other people may deem unapproachable. Like using rust to dye her fabrics, or making skin out of paint and layering it on silk. She made quilts that started off as a blank white fabric and ended with sun shining out at you, with copper stitched into the flames, creating the perfect feeling of warmth.

Another challenge: she was asked to create a silk kimono for

Muna Elias with her husband George at their business Elias Shoes on Madison Avenue in Murrieta.

a production of “Madam Butterfly.” The extraordinary result, her first kimono ever, was perfect and featured on a magazine cover.

One quilt is of a beautiful valley with rolling hills and blooming flowers. These flowers were made with 1,000 French knots. Muna put a lot of herself into that one in particular; it was made while her daughter was in the hospital suffering from collapsed lungs due to a massive seizure. Muna and her family stayed at the children’s hospital for two weeks. She had her

fabric with her, so as she sat near the bed of her daughter she would tie a knot and then check on her daughter. She continued this until her daughter was better. In addition, Muna has used her art to help her son who struggles with autism, going as far as to make a quilt to help him learn angles in his math class.

Muna Elias is able to see art as a powerful entity. Nothing is too big or little for her. She will dream up a phenomenal project and then put it together piece-by-piece in her head.

When asked what made her de-

Muna Elias’ quilt, named Core of Venus shows an entire dimension of raw emotion and contagious energy.

Muna Elias, named the Murrieta Arts Council’s Artist of the Month, created this beautiful “Madame Butterfly” kimono.

cide to start creating such intricate works, she answered with a smile, “There was never a time I wasn’t creating something. I have this gift where I can mentally figure out how it [would be] made.”

That gift was passed down to her seven children. From oldest to youngest, they are: George, a fantastic photographer; Paul, who does origami of all styles and sizes; Daniel, who is into the culinary arts; Amal, the “crazy creative” jewelry designer; Rania, the “family’s banker;” Samara, an aspiring gymnast; and David, who is “just cute” and wants to work at Ashley’s Furniture Store when he gets older.

Muna’s very creative household likes to share ideas and work together to help spread the importance of art in the community.

Even though the Elias family is full of artists, Muna still dedicates 10 minutes of personal quiet time to relax her mind and reflect on her day, searching for inspiration for her next project. She believes every artist should have 10 minutes of “me-time” to work on their craft, and should never give up even if they aren’t where they want to be artistically.

She says, “Everyone started somewhere…when someone plays an instrument they don’t start off perfect. They’ve got to build their finger strength; they’ve got to build up their lungs or their arm strength.

But don’t give up just because it’s a little challenging.”

Temecula author Gayle Johnston wins national acclaim Stephanie Lai VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Temecula author Gayle Johnston has earned nationally acclaimed success with newest publication, “Jazzi G: Search for the Missing Peace.”

The new book, launched Aug. 18 at Wilson Creek Manor, amplifies a positive message for youth.

The open house book launch raised $3,000 for local foster homes.

“I wanted the proceeds to help the kids,” Johnson said. “That’s where my heart is.” Benefiting Rancho Damacitas Foster Care facility for at risk youth, the launch brought local businesses and sponsors together to create a successful silent auction.

Johnston said she found the book essential to write because of the modern fixations on frustration and strife. “It’s important to teach forgiveness because people are

angry and resentful. Forgiveness is not natural thing. You must learn to forgive,” she said.

The author’s motivation for writing she explained is wanting to help and make a difference. “A lot of what we see is not projective and helpful. I don’t see media helping change the underlying message of forgiveness.”

Motivated from her experience as a teacher, Johnson has seen new social issues students face. The publication works to shed light on the issues and connect children across the globe even though they may be from completely different cultures and face the same coming of age pressures. Johnston appropriates her teaching and morals as a teacher into her writing. Her trigger for writing the book was to show the issues young people face while growing up and to help them cope and recover.

Jazzi G, the books character,

learns of forgiveness and peace.

Johnston describes the protagonist as a young girl experiencing the turmoil of her parent’s divorce and facing a spring break assignment to define “peace.” By doing so Jazzi G undergoes a culturally awakening experience. Inspired by her mother, Gena, Jazzi G followed her mother’s nickname for she loved to dance. Her mother being a perfect lively character sets the stage for the young adult narrative.

Through an exciting adventure traveling through an alternate reality and around the world on the underground Cyber Coaster, Jazzi G meets many new friends. The story’s dramatic twists and turns expose readers to many global issues and teaches human diversity in religion, ethnicity and culture. In Jazzi’s search for peace, the readers are educated on open mindedness in a way that appeals to their age group.

Temecula group offers square dance lessons TEMECULA – Anyone searching for a great date night activity, or who likes to meet new friends, or is looking to get some exercise has a new option to try. The Temecula Grape Stompers is starting a new session of square dance lessons and all are invited to participate.

“We started our square dance lessons a year ago February,” said a former student named Pamela.

“Since graduating from the class, we’ve been to probably 75 plus dances. We are having so much fun square dancing. It gets us out of the house, we’ve met some awesome people, and it’s fun. Dancing keeps the mind sharp and the blood flowing. It’s a whole new world to explore as you ‘allemande left’ with new and fun people.”

The Temecula Grape Stompers’ classes are held at 41845 Sixth St, Temecula, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Chile Hedz of Old Town Temecula puts on 10th annual New Mexico Hatch Chile Festival TEMECULA – Over 10,000 lbs. of fresh chile peppers will arrive early Saturday morning, Sept. 17, to be roasted throughout the weekend at Chile Hedz of Old Town Temecula. The family-owned store will be hosting the 10th annual New Mexico Hatch Chile Festival over the weekend. Food vendors, hot sauce vendors, kid’s activities and local musicians will be performing throughout the day. A large portion of the hatch chile brought in is already pre-sold. So it is important that you preorder now to guarantee your chile. Fresh chile powder and fresh strung chile ristras will also be for sale.

Last day to pre-order was Aug. 31.

Now it is first come first serve on the day of the event.

John and Raquel Anthony of Temecula have sponsored this southwestern tradition every fall for the past ten years. John Anthony, of New Mexican Heritage, is proud to bring hatch chile to his home town. “My grandfather Marcello Trujillo would be thrilled to know that our chile has made such a lasting impression in California.”

The owners of Chile Hedz Hot Shop will be awaiting a truckload of fresh hatch chile that will be roasted and sold throughout the weekend.

The entrepreneurs, along with their four children have been in business for seven years running their

specialty chile store. They carry a variety of hot sauces, salsas, pepper jellies, spicy snacks like habanero fudge, BBQ Sauces, powdered and dried chilies and much more.

They are soon expanding to include gourmet sausages and dogs.

In just a couple weeks you can come in have an “American” themed dog (The Big Kahuna, New Mexican, Cali-Mex, Texan and the Mobster) all smothered with their house sauces and then you can bag some sauces up to take home. Their new menu will feature spicy sausages, pickles, coleslaws, root beer floats on tap and eventually a patio bar where you can enjoy an ice cold beer. What’s more American than a

chile dog and an ice cold beer?

The Hatch Chile event is one that customers look forward to year after year. Their customer base is primarily people who have previously lived in New Mexico or have been acquainted with it before. But each year they acquire a few new “Chile Heads” to the pot. Once a year they gather round and share stories about where they grew up and exchange recipes of their mothers cooking.

“It’s like a big family reunion” says owner Raquel Anthony. The one thing they all have in common is their love for New Mexico Green Chile and we are happy to provide it to them. It is truly second to none.

The 10th Annual New Mexico

Fresh strung chile ristras are among some of the chile products that will be available at the 10th Annual New Mexico Hatch Chile Festival, Sept. 17-18.

Hatch Chile Festival will occur from Sept. 17-18. Chile Hedz is located in Old Town Temecula, on the corner of 4th and Front streets.

Pot pie dinner includes first look at revived schoolhouse atop a tiered lot. The barn red hue harkens back to a color that covered the schoolhouse generations ago.

“This is a thrilling moment,” said Mary Belton, a descendent of the Reche family, who left their mark throughout California and several other states.

FALLBROOK – Sept. 24 will mark the first public showing of an array of improvements at Fallbrook’s historic one-room Reche schoolhouse, an iconic structure that dates back to 1886. The event is a chicken pot pie dinner that will raise funds needed to continue the ongoing maintenance of the schoolhouse.

The event will be the first time that the traditional annual dinner will be hosted by the Fallbrook Historical Society, the new caretakers of the building and its grounds.

A buzz has been building over the property as the finishing touches are made in a $25,000 facelift that was funded by a San Diego County grant.

“We can hardly wait to unveil our renovated schoolhouse to the community,” said Roy Moosa, FHS president. “We are looking forward to sharing this proud moment at our pot pie fundraiser.”

Meals will be served at the Sept.

24 fundraiser from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. at the historic schoolhouse at 1319 S. Live Oak Park Rd. Advance tickets cost $15 for adults and $10 children

under 12. If available, tickets will be sold the day of the event at the schoolhouse for $20 for adults and $10 for children.

The event has been an annual Fallbrook fundraising mainstay for generations. For tickets or more information, email fallbrookhistoricalsocietyinfo@ gmail.com.

Another major difference this year is the merger of FHS and the nonprofit Reche Club which has broadened the support that has coalesced around the schoolhouse.

Due to uncertainty over the longterm future of the facility, leaders of the Reche Club approached the FHS last year about a potential merger.

The coupling was subsequently approved by both sides. Ownership of the schoolhouse has already transferred from the club to the society.

A descendant of the Reche family has watched with pride and purpose as teams of workers have toiled at the schoolhouse in recent months.

Workers have replaced frayed electrical wiring, installed new building

Mt. San Jacinto College Fine Arts Gallery presents a.r.t.e.r.y Hinged 2016: Flight The MSJC Fine Arts Gallery, California Family Life Center and Worth Visual Arts are pleased to present a.r.t.e.r.y’s (Art, Recognition, Transition, education, Reciprocating, Youth) Hinged 2016: Flight. This exhibition marks the tenth collaboration with CFLC and MSJC. Mentoring and art are key elements to CFLC’s a.r.t.e.r.y. program. This year’s exhibit emphasizes mentoring skills, focusing on the transference of creative energy, vision and goals through art with children. a.r.t.e.r.y works with school age children (ages 6 – 13), teaching various art methods, and building a one to one relationship with older mentors (ages 18 – 22).

Youth mentors realize the importance of art benefiting their choices in career paths, while bridging children to positive endeavors within their community. By exhibiting their artwork at the MSJC Fine Arts Gallery, youth are exposed to college as a more attainable path for their future and assimilate comfortably in a college atmosphere.

In Hinged 2016: Flight, the gallery walls come alive with a flock of hundreds of ceramic birds made by the a.r.t.e.r.y students. Like their maker, each bird has their own personality and character. Starting at the far end of the gallery, the flock’s starting point is the nest. The birds fly from the nest and form a poetic and playful murmuration that gracefully dips and rises as they soar through the gallery. This sculptural formation draws an analogy to the migration and life cycle of the birds and the students’ own

lives; the birds representing the individual; nests the warmth and support of the past; and the flocks in flight symbolic of transition, new paths and their peers as they grow and develop together.

Also displayed in the gallery are the journals of the students. These journals are a crucial part of the a.r.t.e.r.y program. The journal entries help reveal the artists’ thoughts on the past and the present as their lives change and grow beyond their homes and their comfort zones. Flight encompasses a time and place to express oneself, while providing the freedom to let one’s thoughts soar through art.

The show has been made possible by the cooperative efforts of the MSJC Fine Arts Gallery, California Family Live Centers, Worth Visual Arts, Planet Youth, Rubidoux Youth Opportunity Center and Empower Youth, Hemet.

Dining in the Valley Seven ways to be kind to restaurant food servers TEMECULA – The restaurant industry is booming, with new restaurants entering the challenging foodservice market every day.

The National Restaurant Association says restaurants in the United States generate roughly $2 billion in sales on a typical day.

Food servers are among some of the hardest working employees in the foodservice industry, but sometimes their efforts go unrecognized. The following are a handful of ways diners can show their appreciation to the men and women who work hard to ensure their customers enjoy their dining experiences.

1. Recognize that waiting tables is no easy task. Waiting tables is both physically and mentally demanding. Servers spend hours on their feet carrying and balancing plates of food during their shifts.

Servers also must anticipate the needs of diners and do their best to accommodate them. Acknowledge that servers’ jobs are not easy when dining out, and express your gratitude for their hard work whenever possible.

2. Recognize that slow food often is not the server’s fault. Very often a food server has no control over how fast the food comes out of the kitchen. A very busy meal service can stall an inexperienced kitchen. Diners shouldn’t blame the server because the food took longer than expected to arrive on their table. If they’re in a hurry, they can let the server know in advance so he or she can work with them.

3. Diners should look up at their server. Eye contact shows respect and it will help get one’s order across clearly, reducing the likelihood of a mix up regarding the order.

Waiting tables is no easy task. Those in the foodservice industry often face a both physically and mentally demanding experience. These tips can help alleviate those stresses and help customers show their appreciation to the men and women who work hard to ensure their happiness.

4. Put down cell phones. Distracted diners are sometimes to blame for slow service. In 2014, a popular New York restaurant took matters into its own hands after constant complaints of slow service. After examining surveillance footage of the dining room from 2004 to 2014, the restaurant owner discovered the wait staff hadn’t changed its techniques, but the customers’ use of cell phones had slowed table turnover from one hour and five minutes to one hour and 55 minutes. Taking pictures

of food, texting before ordering or asking a server to take a group photo can contribute to slower service, which puts added stress on servers.

5. Holidays can put a monkey wrench in restaurant flow. Certain times of the year are popular for dining out. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day and winter holidays are busy times for the restaurant business. Diners should recognize this and exhibit extra patience when dining out during these busy times of year. If they aren’t up

for the crowds, abbreviated menus and other factors that come with holiday dining, they should choose another day to go out.

6. Tip with courtesy and respect.

Tips are important to servers because their income may not be steady. Some restaurants do not pay servers minimum wage, expecting their salaries to be offset by tipping. Tip according to how the service was, not the taste of the food or beverages. A 15 percent tip is customary, but you may want to tip 20 percent for exceptional

service. People shouldn’t dine out if they cannot afford or do not plan to tip.

7. Diners should ask ahead of time if they need a split bill.

Multiple checks can prove timeconsuming. Address this need early on and pay as punctually as possible.

The restaurant business is fastpaced and challenging. Customers can do their part by being patient and pleasant patrons and showing their servers the respect they deserve.

Speedy summer suppers Michele Howard & Kim Harris VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As summer comes to a close and the kids head back to school, many a mom (or dad) looks for a speedy summer supper that’s filling, nutritious and easy to make.

“This combination of mayonnaise and sour cream give this chicken salad a fresher taste than just mayonnaise alone. Serve on crossants with baby Swiss or Provolone cheese, red lettuce or sprouts or wrap in any flavor flour tortilla and ad strips of cheese and lettuce. This chicken salad is also great as a panini or a salad on top of a bed of greens,” Michelle says.

Michele’s Chicken Salad Ingredients: 3 Cups roasted chicken, chopped or shredded

1 Cup celery, chopped 1 Cup red onion, chopped 1 large red or green apple, peeled and chopped 1 1/4 Cup red seedless grapes cut in half 1/2 to 1 Cup walnuts, chopped 3/4 Cup mayonnaise 3/4 Cup sour cream salt and pepper to taste Directions: In large bowl mix with wooden spoon all the ingredients until well coated. Store in airtight container up to four days.

“My friend Jennifer gave me this recipe back in the early 2000s and my family has enjoyed it every summer since. The crisp fresh taste of cucumbers, along with the zing of the Tony Chachere’s seasoning salt make it our family’s go to for a speedy summer side dish,” Kim says.

Jennifer’s Cucumber Salad Ingredients: 1 Pint of Grape Tomatoes, cut in half (or a couple large ones diced) 2 Cucumbers or 1 Large (I prefer using pickling cucumbers or English cucumbers) 1/4-1/2 of a red onion, depending on how much onion you like Fresh basil or parsley 1/4 Cup of Red Wine Vinegar (it is also delicious with balsamic vinegar, especially if you were to use basil instead of dill) 1/4 Cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt and Pepper Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning to taste Directions: Peel then slice cucumbers into

thin slices, cut grape tomatoes in half and slice red onion into very thin rings.

In bowl, add red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper, and Tony Chachere’s and whisk until combined.

Sprinkle some fresh basil or

parsley over the salad and then add about half of the vinaigrette and mix together. Add more vinaigrette if needed.

Taste test and add more salt and pepper to suit your taste and serve immediately or chill for several hours before serving.

COMMUNITY

Michelle’s Place, others provide backpacks for children Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“We had a record number of children receiving backpacks this year,” said Ashlee Collins, Communications Director for Michelle’s Place, “The generosity of this community made this possible.”

The cancer resource center held a “Party in the Park” at Los Alamos Sports Park Aug. 7 for 35 families struggling financially due to the expenses of breast cancer treatment and 107 children received backpacks full of school supplies.

“We are so grateful,” said Colleen Castellano, a four-time cancer survivor. “God bless you all and thank you so much for what you do for others.” She recounted the story of Aydin, 7, who expressed his thanks to the organization for the backpack. When his friends complimented him on his new backpack, he told them “my friends at Michelle’s Place gave it to me because they love my grandma.”

Tw e n t y - t h r e e volunteers from the Temecula Valley Women’s Club, the National Charity League and Michelle’s Place coordinated the event. The Temecula Valley Women’s Club donated 75 backpacks for the event. Every Child’s Foundation donated over $17,000 worth of school supplies, including pencils, specialty gel pens, pencil sharpeners and eraser sets, as well as 2000 new tshirts. “Due to social media and email blasts, numerous community members also donated school supplies,” said Collins.

The National Charity League Temecula Chapter stuffed all the backpacks at Michelle’s Place. They also provided all the crafts and games at “Party in the Park” for the families to enjoy.

Stadium Pizza (Wildomar and Jefferson) donated pizza and chips for the families; Kona Ice was also provided for free.

“Party in the Park” is one of several events that are part of the Pink Ribbon Assistance Program,

which is designed to help families struggling with the expenses of breast cancer treatment. This is one of several events that gives to the children of those families.

“For Thanksgiving, through our partnership with the Temecula Noon Rotary Club, we provide Thanksgiving meals to the families,” said Collins. “For Christmas, we give stockings full of toys to these families. This is made possible through community donations and the Temecula New Generations Rotary Club. This is a caring and generous community.”

How to choose the right grill size for your backyard Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Understanding the true size of the cooking surface will help grill Courtesy photo buyers to choose the right grill for them.

If you’re shopping for a new gas grill, one of the most important aspects to consider is its size.

“There are more things to think about than simply how many hamburgers you want to cook at once,” said Russ Faulk, grillmaster and chief designer for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, maker of outdoor kitchen equipment. “To a great extent, more size offers more cooking flexibility. Few people need a giant grill, but most people can take advantage of having a bit more cooking space.”

Here are some helpful tips he recommends for choosing the right size grill.

Understand the true size of the cooking surface. Total cooking area for grills is measured in square inches. This figure often includes the warming rack and cooktop areas, so do a little digging to identify the square inches of the primary grill grates alone. A minimum of 450

square inches is a good starting point to meet the needs of most people.

For example, a 500-square-inch grill grate can accommodate about 24 hamburgers at one time.

Think about indirect cooking.

When you envision cooking on the grill, you probably think about grilling the food right above the fire. This is called “direct heat” grilling, which is good for small or thin foods than can be cooked quickly. Larger foods, such as whole chickens, potatoes or roasts, are best cooked with “indirect heat.” This means the burners below the food are actually turned off. You need a grill large enough for the active burners to generate the right amount of heat and have enough space left over to place the food in an indirect zone.

The magic really happens when you combine direct and indirect techniques, Faulk said. Some call it “sear and slide” cooking, which is an indispensable method for grilling a thick steak. Sear it over high, direct heat then move it to indirect heat to slow down the cooking. A grill with

at least 700 square inches is recommended for cooks who frequently embrace indirect grilling techniques.

Stay in control. Most gas grills have multiple, individually controlled burners. Larger grills tend to have more burners. For indirect grilling, you will need at least two burners, but more control zones offer increased cooking options.

Individual temperatures can be set for grilling different kinds of food simultaneously. At least three burners are recommended for the best control and flexibility.

Don’t crowd the grill. When you try to squeeze too much food onto the grill at once, it can become difficult to manage the cooking. You need room for turning and flipping.

Faulk also recommends maintaining a low-heat “safety zone” to move food to when the action gets a little too hot and fast. A good rule of thumb is to keep at least 25 percent of your grill grates clear at all times.

Local nonprofit groups learn how to spread their message Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

More than 30 representatives from nonprofit and faith based groups in the Hemet Valley turned out to learn how to better get their messages out on social media Thursday, Aug. 25, at the second free Community Connect workshop in the SRCAR office in Hemet.

Aaron Norris, vice president of The Norris Group, a well-known marketing and public relations strategist, was the invited guest speaker at the event. The Hemet/ San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Community Connect and through a grant from Bank of America for five free community workshops designed to strengthen and support the area’s nonprofit agencies.

This workshop focused on how faith based and nonprofits, who depend mostly on voluntary contributions to forward their missions and works for others, learned how to attract more donors and volunteers to their organizations through better community contact and social media.

Norris, who serves on several local nonprofit and association boards and is actively involved in the community in efforts like Give BIG

Riverside County, has been directly involved in raising more than $1 million for charity since 2008.

He reviewed some of the ways he formed the Give Big board when he was a founding member and made suggestions to those attending who they might look for as a board chairman and where new members might be found.

Norris, a member of the Public Relations Society of America, then went through some ideas of how to “brand” their organization by finding and promoting what is unique or unusual about their particular nonprofit. “No nonprofit is alike… look for what makes you more unique and special,” Norris said.

He suggested social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and Linked In are becoming the best avenues to find new donors and members, but other media has its value as well. “Find the best fit in technology…What is best for you,” Norris suggested.

He went over most of the media available to the nonprofits and made suggestions of how to best reach out to them to spread their messages.

He said it was important for each organization to cultivate the talents of its members, particularly in choosing the board. He said the board members and particularly the

chairman is “the marketing manager and CFO of your nonprofit.”

He said using social media, like Linked in is a good way to find the most skilled and talented person to become a member. “Send them a message, or a letter inviting them to join your group.”

Norris said one of the problems Inland Empire nonprofits are having problems with is finding large foundation grants and donations.

He said the larger foundations are denying assistance to the area’s nonprofits because “they are just not organized enough.” One of the representatives attending agreed saying they had been denied their grant by a major foundation for that very reason.

The seminars being presented through the Chamber and Community Connect are being presented to bring local nonprofits and faith based groups to better present their efforts to help the people of the community.

The third workshop in the series will be announced.

211 Community Connect is a Riverside County organization there to help nonprofits with their marketing. Community Connect mission is to connect people in need, with those that can help. Since 1966 the organization has been creating

KTGY-designed Artisan Alley to capitalize on craft brew craze adjacent stadium in Lake Elsinore IRVINE – International awardwinning KTGY Architecture + Planning announced Aug. 16 that

it has been selected by Orange County-based Civic Partners as the designer of Artisan Alley at The Diamond, a unique retail development located in western Riverside County in Lake Elsinore. Conveniently located across the street from the Lake Elsinore Diamond Stadium, the proposed retail development will bring a creative, commercial destination, which is sure to energize the neighboring area. Capitalizing on the craft brew craze, Artisan Alley will offer a variety of craft breweries as well as complementary non-traditional food offerings and retailers. Plans call for 95,000 square feet of retail/restaurant space and a 130-room hotel on 11 acres at the northeast corner of Diamond Drive and Malaga Road.

“Inspired by the repurposing of old industrial sites, the architectural design will echo the warehouse roots of many craft breweries and art collectives with its varied textures and simple forms,” said Simon Perkowitz, AIA, PE, principal of KTGY’s Retail Studio in Irvine.

“The buildings shelter a communal plaza, reinforcing the concept of a community of artisans and encouraging pedestrians to linger and browse,” said Perkowitz. “Outdoor patios wrap around the breweries to further soften the divide between inside and outside.

Warm brick and distressed wood temper corrugated metal and steel accents, offering a neutral background for the wares and artistry of the tenants.”

Perkowitz adds, “We want to create an immersive experience for those that come to Artisan Alley and that first starts with creating a sense of place. Artisan Alley will offer experiential retail, restaurants and craft breweries

with outdoor seating, places to gather and relax, plenty of shade, awnings, meandering walkways, landscaping and lighting elements, which all contribute to the ambiance and an enriched customer experience. We want this to be a multi-sensory experience with social interactions that are incredible. We feel that Artisan Alley will be what is next in retail.”

Lake Elsinore is one of California’s fastest growing cities, and with a natural freshwater lake about 3,000 acres in size, the city offers an abundance of recreational activities drawing nearly a half million visitors to the city each year, says Jeff Pomeroy, PE, vice president development with Civic Partners. “We think that this project fulfills a tremendous need in this community, both for residents and visitors. We are very excited about this project and look forward to beginning development on Artisan Alley’s first phase,” added Pomeroy.

According to Pomeroy, the project could reach the planning commission and city council in October. Artisan Alley would be built in two phases, the first phase being the construction of a 7,000-square-foot restaurant building, 21,500 square feet of brewery space, 11,200 square feet for retail and a 6,700-square-foot pad building for restaurant and/ or shop space. With the necessary approvals and tenant commitments, the first phase could commence in early 2017 with completion by year end.

Rene Brochier of Colliers International and Philip Riedy of Riedy Commercial Real Estate are handling the leasing and pad site sales.

Loan modification basics John M. Boyko SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Even though we are now almost a decade away from the real estate crash of 2007, there are still many people trying to get mortgage loan modifications and there continue to be many advertisements from banks, lenders and others to have

you apply for either government based or other loan modification programs.

Either you or someone you know probably has gotten an advertisement or solicitation in the mail from some attorney, real estate agent or broker or some other company that promises to get you a mortgage loan modification. In fact, some of

these advertisements will actually “guarantee” results, and in some cases will give you your money back if they don’t produce what they promise.

Sounds good, but most of these are actually scams designed to separate you from your money.

The simple fact is that you don’t need anyone to help you get a loan modification. Most home loan modifications are based on a combination of factors, including, but not limited to, your payment arrearage, income, expenses, current home value, a showing of a hardship and that the modification would enable you to afford to keep your home. Without attempting to over simplify it, and while the formula is complex, the information is automatically calculated by the lender’s computer system and will quickly let your lender and you know if you qualify or not.

However, if you are uncomfortable in submitting these details by yourself and still feel it’s necessary to get help to apply for a loan modification, here are a couple of things you should know.

First, be aware that there are many loan modification scams out there. The easiest way to identify a scam is very simple. Ask whoever is offering to help you if they will want or require you to pay any money “up front” to help you process your loan modification application.

Loan modification service providers are regulated by California law. California Civil Code §2944.7 clearly states that it is unlawful for any person who either negotiates,

attempts to negotiate, arranges, attempts to arrange or otherwise perform a mortgage loan modification of other form of mortgage loan forbearance may not claim, demand, charge, collect or receive any compensation until after the person has fully performed each and every service they have been contracted to do.

If anyone is performing loan modification services and asks for money in advance or wants you to pay “as you go,” is in violation of the law and regardless of whether they are or were ultimately successful in getting you a loan modification or not, you are entitled to a complete refund of any and all money you may have paid them. More importantly, if they are willing to break the law to get your money, it should raise a lot of concern as to what they are actually doing.

I have personally seen clients who have paid as much as $15,000 in advance for the promise they would get a loan modification end up with nothing.

Another thing to beware of is any person or company that “guarantees” that they will get you a loan modification. All loan modification requests are subject to qualification reviews and other conditions set by each lender and no one can guarantee you success in getting a loan modification. The best anyone can do is review your individual case, which includes an examination of your income, expenses and value of your property, to come up with an “educated” guess as to whether you might qualify for a modification,

or not. In my experience, there are certain criteria which will indicate whether your application will be looked at favorably or not by the lender involved. However, a complete description of such criteria is too complex for this article.

There are nonprofit organizations such as NACA (www.naca.com), which offer “free of charge” loan modification assistance and reputedly work directly with lenders in processing your loan modification application. Other nonprofit counseling services include, but are not limited to, ACORN, GreenPath, National Urban League, the United Way and Catholic Charities.

In addition, if you search, you may find a loan modification service that will not charge any fee until all the work is completed, and in some cases, only if you accept a loan modification that may be offered by your lender. *Reading this article does not create an attorney-client relationship.

How to sell your home quickly Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Read along and prepare yourself with these tips for selling your house quickly and you’ll be in escrow before you have to mow the yard again.

Of course, you’ll have to prepare yourself, your family and your home if you want to sell your home fast. To accomplish this, there are two very basic rules that you should follow early in the process of preparing to sell your house.

Two rules to sell your house fast First Rule is to find a Realtor® that you trust and like. Selling your house fast requires teamwork and communication. Don’t let anyone hustle you with pie-in-the-sky promises they can’t deliver. You need to interview three highly regarded agents in your community before making a decision. Realize that the real estate agent you hire is a professional with a wealth of market knowledge, professional contacts and years of experience and all valuable resources who will be selling your house quickly, for the most money, with the least amount of stress to you and your family. If they are a true professional, they won’t have an issue with your careful consideration of the valuable information they have shared with you.

Second Rule is to listen to your real estate agent. Sure, you know your home but he knows how to sell your house. Remember, you chose your real estate agent because he

was the best and you like him; now you must trust your REALTOR®.

Since we have agreed that you will both trust and listen to your agent, even if you start to feel as if your agent is now becoming tripe or counterintuitive. If he says you should paint a room, or the whole house it’s because he is looking at the big picture. If your agent suggest you lower your price, then lower the price…yes, you can get more by asking for less.

Selling your house quickly Many professional Realtors® find that Sellers have a universal set of obstacles to overcome which is counterproductive when they plead, “Sell my house quickly!” Learn from these examples…

Price it right to sell your house fast In the competitive world of real estate, many agents believe that in order to obtain the listing they should always go in pushing the envelope to convince the sellers that they are such great agents that they will get the highest possible price that they know what is best and how to sell your house.

The market set the price and sell your house. You are much better off starting with a lower asking price than a higher one. A value that is set slightly (1 to 3 percent) below the market value is much more likely to sell your house quickly and for more money than one priced at the very top of the market.

Many sellers believe they want room to negotiate and that if there is no action in a few weeks, they can always reduce the price. The problem is that when you start

high and lower the price, rarely do you get fair market value. Buyers typically shop price first then look for the best value within that price range.

The best place to start is slightly below the lowest, most recent comp. Price your home too high and you’ll do nothing but scare off buyers. When offers do come in, they’ll be low-ball offers anticipating your pain and eagerness to move. This is not how to sell a house.

Be different to sell your home fast Sure, every REALTOR® who wants to sell your home has a pitch that includes all of the latest gadgetry and electronic gizmos to tell the world about your home. There is no doubt, in this day and age that some of it is a necessity.

In today’s Internet society the homebuyer public has access to a ton of info. Too much information at times. This information overload actually can slow down the process as homebuyers often feel the need to “go back” and research this and that.

Many top agents will agree keeping it simple is better. See if the agents you interview might have some ‘Old School’ real estate sales techniques up their sleeves that can make your listing stand out from the crowd.

Home repair can help sell your home fast While a well maintained home will always appeal more to a homebuyer than one a shabby one, but keep in mind, home renovations are not always the cure-all to selling your house quickly.

Rarely does the cost of a home renovation ever get recovered by the home seller, yet almost every seller tells every R E A LT O R ® , how they spent $25,000 plus on this and that so their home has to be worth at least $35,000 more than the neighbors down the street, who have never done anything to improve their house.

A coat of paint and new carpet will take care of many obstacles to a prospective buyer, but all it does is maintain the status quo. It’s better to have the fresh and new, because that’s what the buyers expect. They won’t necessarily give you more. However, they won’t be kicking the tires either saying “there is so much work to be done” to justify the lowball offer they presented.

It all makes a difference Don’t interpret this article as the simple 3-step process of selling your house quickly as the be-all to end-all magic bullet that will sell your home in a week, it’s not. However, stray from these guidelines and you just may find yourself revisiting this article in a month or two down the road,

scratching your head wondering why “selling my house quickly” was such a foreign concept.

Even though water restrictions lifted, conservation should be a way of life for Californians Mark Slavens SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

While the state of California has eased its restrictions on water use in response to a moderately wet winter, the drought is not over yet, and there are simple ways you can continue to save water around your home.

Residents should be aware of the options available to reduce outdoor water use, while preserving beautiful outdoor landscapes, including lawns.

The good news is that you can take steps to save significant amounts of water, and it does not have to be a death sentence to your landscaping. Here are a few tips to help you keep your landscape “water positive” while still saving precious water supplies:

2. Utilize “water smart” technologies. There are new water smart technologies such as soil moisture sensors that connect homeowners to their yards electronically. Hightech water sensors and water-smart irrigation systems connect the yard to the homeowner via web-based applications and smart devices.

These mobile-based applications can help you set goals for your garden and landscapes and give you step-by-step instructions on how to achieve them based on your location, local weather reports and data received from Internet-connected sensors. These electronic apps can check the health of your plants and more importantly, help you avoid overwatering. Additionally, using products such as soil surfactants can help your landscape use water more efficiently.

3. Change watering habits. You can conserve by simply changing the way you water your yard without drastically changing landscapes or ripping out lawns. The time for “set it and forget it” irrigation systems has long passed. Set your irrigation patterns based on the changing seasons and weather and ensure you only irrigate when temperatures are cooler such as early mornings or late evenings. Residents can also use the UC Center for Landscape and Urban Horticulture’s calculator to estimate landscape water needs at http://ucanr.edu/sites/UrbanHort/Water_Use_of_Turfgrass_ and_Landscape_Plant_Materials/ Easy_Calculators_for_Estimating_Landscape_Water_Needs/.

Check your system periodically for leaks and defective sprinkler heads.

Make sure sprinklers do not spray the pavement, and adjust, add or move them so that spray patterns overlap one another.

Outdoor landscapes offer so much value to the environment and to our health. Experts have cited many benefits that lawns and green spaces offer, such as the ability to capture rain instead of allowing it to flow into storm drains and out to sea, reduce water runoff, filter air pollutants, reduce fire danger and provide recreational space for

families and communities. If a lawn is fed well, it will remove twice as much carbon from the air as a tree during the year. Green vegetation also reduces air temperature up to 30 degrees compared to bare soil, concrete and especially artificial turf. Trees provide shade and energy savings, and flowers and lawns help maintain biodiversity as they are a wildlife habitat for birds, insects and small mammals.

Recognizing that water is essential to gardening and to all plant life, we are working with the State of California and other partners across the state, as well as the nation, to help homeowners find even more

simple and actionable ways to use water more efficiently and responsibly – ways that we are calling Water Positive.

My advice is to choose the right landscaping that works for your budget and lifestyle; there are plenty of options available that enable you to do your part to save water permanently around your home.

Mark Slavens is Vice President of Environmental Affairs for S c o t t s M i r a c l e - G ro a n d h a s extensive background in turfgrass management. For more on Water Positive visit www.scottsmiraclegro. com/waterpositive.

1. Plant the right grass. Planting warm-season varieties of grasses, such as bermudagrass, buffalograss, St. Augustine or zoysiagrass can save a considerable amount of water, approximately 20-30 percent more than the cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, tall fescue or ryegrass. Many of these varieties require little water in the winter and much less water in the summer, while still staying green.

Be sure to research to make sure you are planting the right grass for

your climate, as some may not do well in shade or with excessive cold temperatures. Another way to maximize water savings is to mow your grass at the correct height: bermudagrass: 1 inch; zoysiagrass 2”-3”; St. Augustine, Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass and fescue at 3”- 4”.

Now is the time to prepare your animals for evacuating the next time Roxanne Greene SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Now that the smoke is clearing, people are returning home and life resumes, it’s time to take stock of emergency plans and find areas that need refinement.

One of the sore points evident from the beginning of the Cedar Fire was the lack of coordinated evacuation of pets and livestock from affected areas. When the

numbers come it, it will be apparent we let our four-legged friends down. As a volunteer who assisted in the movement of horses around San Diego County’s Valley Center, I heard similar stories from other volunteers and want to provide some guidance for livestock owners because, the sad truth is, many people who live in the backcountry are not prepared to deal with the need to move their animals should it become necessary.

We heard numerous complaints from people who didn’t appreciate the way their animals were handled and who had better ideas about how the job should be done; however, we wouldn’t have had to do that job for them if they had owned their own trailer and trained their animals properly. If you have horses or other livestock, you should have a trailer. It is the only way to ensure your animal will be moved when, where and how you

want, with no delay.

Even if you can’t afford to buy a trailer, borrow one from a friend and teach each of your animals how to enter and exit the trailer calmly.

Precious minutes that could have been used to evacuate other animals were wasted because many people did not take the time to familiarize themselves or their horses with proper loading and unloading techniques.

You should already own a halter and sturdy lead rope of the appropriate length for each of your animals. It would be great if you also had a tag with the animal’s name and your basic contact information on the halter. Airport luggage tags work great for this because they can be stored until needed and attached quickly.

You should have already trained your animal to walk calmly on a lead rope and follow basic commands. If this is something you’ve always meant to get around to, get around to it now. Many volunteers were hurt needlessly because animals were not schooled properly. If you have a large number of animals, it would help the evacuation centers if your animals were socialized in such a manner that they could be placed together in stalls or tied next to each other to maximize the space available for evacuated animals.

At the first sign of danger, put the halters on each of your animals and take them out of larger enclosures to shorten the time it takes to catch them. If you do not have a small pen, leave them in the pasture until the time you know a volunteer is coming to evacuate you. Then catch the animals and tie them with access to food so they remain calm and busy until the volunteers arrive.

Vitals While you are waiting for volunteers to evacuate your animals, pack vital medicines, special feeds and water buckets to be used by your animals at the evacuation center. A length of water hose is also helpful. If you own a truck, load some hay to evacuate with your animals. Have a card prepared

for each animal with its name, age, description, your contact information, your veterinarian’s contact information and any and all physical, mental and health information that caretakers will need to know. Put it in a sandwich sized zip-close bag so it doesn’t get wet. If, in spite of all your training, your animal still kicks or bites, tie a noticeable red ribbon to its tail so everyone can avoid being hurt or having other animals injured.

When volunteers have safely evacuated your animal, please thank them. We are not paid for this and are not reimburse for the gas we use. A tank of diesel costs up to $100 and a single trip with a load can use nearly a tank. We usually don’t have time to eat and only drink the water we remembered to grab on our way out of the house. Don’t ask about going to the bathroom.

Our trailers were kicked and dented and a number of us were battered and bruised. Many of us did not sleep for days and were worried about having enough time to evacuate our own animals. A lot of us also had evacuated animals at our own houses to care for. When you have livestock at an evacuation center, do not rely on the volunteers to care for your animals. Show up twice a day to help feed, water and clean up after your animals. Check with the on-site volunteers to see if they need food, water or time for themselves to care for their own animals or get some sleep.

There is a wonderful community of caring animal lovers out there, and you should take some time to get to know them. When your animals leave the evacuation centers, offer a donation to the groups that cared for your animals or provided food and supplies. Come back when your animals are settled and assist the evacuation center. As what you can do to help before you leave and follow through. A huge thank you is owed to the many volunteers who evacuated animals, the feed and hardware stores who donated food and equipment, and the owners of the evacuated animals who made everyone’s job easier.
