Keeping Lake Elsinore safe

Murrieta parent group expresses concern over Common Core

Cal Fire rescue boat aims to increase safety, reduce injury on Lake Elsinore

By Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News A group of parents in Murrieta who are against Common Core plan to address the Murrieta Unified District trustees during the board’s next meeting. The group called Responsible Education for Murrieta or REM formed two years ago when they first learned Common Core was going to be taught to their children. see page A-4

Alex Groves Staff Writer Cal Fire’s rescue boat carved through the water like a knife on Sunday, Aug. 31 as it went to rescue Jackie Hahner and Edie Clark, two women who became immobile on Lake Elsinore when their seadoo stopped unexpectedly.

Earlier that day Hahner asked Clark, her friend, to accompany her for a ride.

The two rode the seadoo Hahner recently purchased a quarter of the way around the perimeter of the lake when it began to exhibit strange symptoms. It kept stalling and starting before eventually coming to a complete stop.

“We didn’t even make it around the lake a full time and the sucker stopped,” said Hahner, who had come to Lake Elsinore from her home in Riverside for some rest and relaxation.

But, not more than a minute later, Cal Fire’s rescue boat was there to help, giving the two friends a tow back to shore. They hopped on the boat with a story to tell their acquaintances on the other side of the lake.

Rescues like this are not uncommon for Cal Fire’s boat rescue team. They’ve been patrolling Lake Elsinore on busy holiday weekends in order to tow broken watercrafts, warn watercraft enthusiasts about

proper procedure and provide emergency medical aid to injured individuals for a few months now.

The Cal Fire boat is in operation each day during three-day holiday weekends when the Lake is most busy. Two emergency swimmers, one driver and one captain will start a boat shift in the morning around 8 a.m. and will finish in the evenings when it gets dark.

A Veteran pays his respect at The Moving Wall in Camden,Tennessee.

By Kim Harris Special to the Valley News Residents of the Temecula Valley are about to get a chance to experience the Vietnam War Memorial without having to travel to Wash-

ington D.C. thanks to the efforts of one local man. Johnny Roberts, director at Manzanita Ranch first applied to have the Moving Wall, a half-scale replica of the popular

There are many high school students that play sports, both girls and boys, and those that are good usually start to think there may be a chance they could play their sport at the collegiate level after they graduate.

“Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as everybody thinks,” said Matt Conley, a college baseball coach and

scout for Peak Performance Athletic Services. “The truth is most high school athletes won’t get the opportunity to play due to a number of reasons after high school. I have seen it all at this point too. Injuries, lack of commitment, even the most talented kids sometimes don’t put all their effort in when it comes to the classroom.

Hard News Murrieta Police Dept. to conduct DUI checkpoints on Sept. 6 Murrieta Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Drivers License Checkpoint on September 6th, at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are conducted routinely.

In California, this deadly crime led to 802 deaths in 2012 because someone failed to designate a sober driver. Nationally, the latest data shows nearly 10,000 were killed by an impaired driver.

Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed

8 lives and resulted in 86 injury crashes harming 112 of our friends and neighbors in Murrieta.

Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment and checking drivers for proper licensing delaying motorists only momentarily. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving.

Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their systems. A study of active drivers showed more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, slightly more than alcohol.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have

provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Nearly 90 percent of California drivers approve of DUI checkpoints.

DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests

affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public.

Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, other expenses that can exceed $10,000 not to mention

the embarrassment when friends and family find out.

Funding for this checkpoint is provided to Murrieta Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to ‘Report Drunk Driver - Call 9-1-1’.

Menifee checkpoint results in two DUI arrests During the hours the checkpoint was in operation, police officials screened 936 vehicles. Of those vehicles, 50 were sent to secondary screening areas and 18 drivers were given field sobriety tests. No drivers were arrested for suspicion of driving while under the influence of a drug, but two were arrested for suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

One grandmother, who was ar-

rested for DUI, was also charged with child endangerment because she was driving two of her grandchildren while impaired, according to Sgt. J.P. Strang.

The children were later released to Child Protective Services, Strang said.

10 other drivers were cited or arrested for driving without a license or driving on a suspended one. Additionally, two drivers

who were checked had arrest warrants in their name, according to Strang.

This checkpoint was established to deter drunk drivers from getting on the road and to limit the number of drug and alcohol-related crashes that happen in the area.

It was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Riverside County firefighters respond to near drowning in Lake Elsinore At 4:12 p.m., firefighters responded to a report of a possible drowning at the La Laguna Resort and Boat Launch at 32040 Riverside Drive in Lake Elsinore, Fuhrman said.

“Firefighters on scene reported two patients needing assistance from a disabled watercraft,’’ she said.

A man taken to a hospital was in

stable condition and a juvenile was released to his parents at the scene, Fuhrman said.

The extent of the man’s injury was not disclosed.

Man suspected in home invasion robbery behind bars TEMECULA - A man suspected of robbing a Temecula homeowner at gunpoint earlier this week was in custody today in lieu of $250,000 bail.

Stephen Richard Sethman, 39, of Temecula was arrested Thursday night and booked on suspicion of home-invasion robbery, kidnapping, false imprisonment and burglary.

Riverside County sheriff’s officials allege Sethman confronted a resident in the 47000 block of Shady Oaks Lane on Monday morning, threatening the man with a handgun before forcing his way inside the house.

Sethman allegedly ordered the victim to stay inside his bathroom and proceeded to ransack the residence. Sheriff ’s Sgt. Dean

Spivacke said the suspect fled in a vehicle, taking a number of valuables from the house.

Based on information from the victim and evidence collected at the location, investigators identified Sethman, who was arrested without incident at his home on Bridgeview Circle.

He’s being held at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

One fatality, 12 DUI arrests reported for Labor Day weekend by Temecula CHP office One fatality and 12 drunken driving arrests were reported during the Labor Day weekend on the roads of eastern Riverside County, a spokesman said.

PALA – On August 27, at about 10 a.m., a crash on Pala Temecula Road near Rancho Heights Road in Pala killed an elderly man and sparked a small brush fire, authorities reported.

The accident occurred about 10:15 a.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. The victim, whose identity was not immediately available, died at the scene. For an unknown reason, his vehicle left the road as he traveled southbound and his car entered the ditch below.

When first responders arrived the gentleman was declared deceased. The incident is still under investigation.

Ground and airborne crews had the roughly oneacre brush fire extinguished within an hour, Cal Fire Capt. Kendal Bortisser said. The flames posed no structural threats, he said.

memorial, come to Temecula about three years ago.

“I went online and researched it, filled out the form and I didn’t hear from them so I kind of forgot about it,” Roberts said. “Three years after that I got a call and they said, ‘we know you’ve been on the waiting list for a while but you are in the queue now and you are up next.’”

Roberts, a veteran himself, was told the date was set for October 9 through Oct. 13. The memorial will be set up in Sam Hicks Monument Park and will be illuminated at night. It will be open for viewing 24 hours a day during its time in Temecula. Like D.C.’s Vietnam War Memorial there is no cost to visit the Moving Wall which is almost 252 feet long.

“I knew where I wanted to put it. Sam Hicks Park is the only place that makes sense,” he said.

“We can’t do anything commercial around the wall. It has to be a very reverent place. It’s the perfect place.”

Roberts said getting the process started was easy. He just requested the monument online and drafted a proposal for city leaders who approved it on the first submission. Now the tough part begins; locating sponsors and the dozens of volunteers needed to make The Wall’s visit to Temecula a success.

“We are looking for sponsors and volunteers to help out now,” said Roberts who has been involved in service through organizations such as Rotary. “I think service is an important part of our lives.”

There are over 59,000 names on the wall and volunteers are needed

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

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

An overturned truck pulling a trailer on I-15 near Temescal Canyon Road early Monday afternoon was blamed for sparking a fire that charred 25 acres. The reports on the 15 freeway accident and fire that took place in Corona today, September 1, 2014 at 2:03 p.m. are not accurate,” eyewitness Taryn Sleight said on a social media site.

helicopter and one air tanker.

As of press time, authorities have not made an official statement on the cause of the accident and to serve as docents to help visitors locate the names they are searching for on The Wall. There is also a need for readers as well for the reading of the names ceremony.

Roberts said it will cost about $10,000 to bring The Wall to Temecula so events are being planned to help defray the cost.

On Friday, Oct. 10 the Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore will host a concert at Lake Elsinore Storm Stadium. On Saturday, Oct. 11 the group will host a parade-style motorcycle ride to The Wall. The ride, called Run to The Wall, will include an escorted group ride down I-15 to Old Town Temecula.

The ride will be followed by a concert Saturday afternoon by the Inland All-Stars, a group of musicians who will perform music from the Vietnam War era. The concert will be held at the Old Town Pub & Grub.

On Sunday, Oct. 12 a cruise with classic cars and hot rods will take place. Cruise to The Wall will begin at the Wildomar VFW Post.

Like Run to The Wall, it will have an escort down I-15 and be followed by a concert performed by the Inland All-Stars, referred to by Roberts as “the best musicians in the local area.” Sunday’s concert will be held at The Stampede.

“They will recreate the soundtrack of the Vietnam War Era,” he said. “We brought together the best musicians in the local groups to do that.”

Both venues are donating their locations to the cause. The musicians making up the Inland AllStars have also agreed to volunteer their time to help make The Wall’s trip to Temecula a success.

subsequent fire.

To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com Roberts said he has been overwhelmed by the support from the local community as he continues to plan for The Moving Wall’s arrival in just a few short weeks.

“The mayor said it’s going to be the largest event ever to come to Temecula,” Roberts said. “I knew The Wall would be important to me, but I had no idea it was going to be as big as it is.”

For more information, visit www.TheMovingWall2014.com or contact Roberts at Jonny@ Manzanitaranch.org. To volunteer, attend an organizational meeting held every Thursday from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Temecula Museum, located at 41970 Moreno Rd in Temecula.

An eyewitness account of a crash that caused a brush fire on I-15 on Tuesday afternoon disputes initial reports of an overturned truck hauling a trailer sparking the blaze.

Taryn Sleight, a passenger in one of the vehicles involved, said on a public social media site initial reports on the incident were not accurate.

“So grateful that my family is ok! The reports on the 15 freeway accident and fire that took place in Corona today, September 1, 2014 at 2:03 p.m. are not accurate,” she said.

Initial reports on the incident claimed one person in the towing vehicle was transported to the hospital and that the overturned truck sparked the blaze. A total of 25 acres burned for approximately five hours before being 100 percent contained at 7 p.m. Resources remained on scene to mop up hot spots and patrol containment lines.

Sleight went on to describe her account of what had happened in the accident that occurred near Temescal Canyon Road as it unfolded before her and her family while driving North on I-15.

“My family was driving home from vacation in their F250 truck hauling a 35-foot travel trailer. Another car (whose driver she believes fell asleep at the wheel) came from the left (fast lane) across all four lanes and clipped the back of the trailer causing it to jackknife and eventually flip on its side,” she wrote on the social media site. “The vehicle at fault continued off the freeway, over the embankment and caught fire. The truck/trailer never caused the fire nor caught fire. The man at fault walked away unharmed but over an hour later passed out (likely from shock of the situation and damaged he caused) and was taken to the hospital. The driver of the truck (my brother-in-law) and other three passengers (my parents and sister) are doing fine and have not needed medical treatment. I hope this information and the pictures I’ve included help to clear the misleading facts on the report.”

No one was hurt in the accident but California Highway Patrol (CHP) reported witnesses saw the hillside catch fire. The blaze was near a propane yard.

CAL Fire and Riverside County firefighters were dispatched to the scene after a 911 call was received at 2:03 p.m. Corona Fire Department also responded. CHP closed Temescal Canyon Road following the incident.

A Sig Alert was issued and two northbound lanes on the I-15 were closed for approximately 30 minutes according to the CHP. Temescal Canyon Road between Hostettler and Lester roads was also shut down according to Riverside County Fire Department spokesperson Jody Hagemann.

A total of 110 firefighters were assigned to the fire along with 13 engine companies, one truck company, one

Texas, Virginia, Alaska, Nebraska and Indiana are not adopting the initiative at a state level. Minnesota has adopted the english language arts standards but not the mathematics standards.

Several states, including Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, initially adopted Common Core but have since voted to repeal or replace them.

Heidi Vazquez, a mother of four whose husband is a Murrieta police officer wanted to send her children to public school until she learned about Common Core.

“We at REM have strong suspicions the board members have not done their research on Common Core beyond the state requirements,” said Vazquez. “They have just taken what the state has told them they haven’t done their research and they aren’t going beyond what the state tells them.”

Vazquez is a certified teacher who now home-schools her children. She does not expect teachers to stand up against the standards and says it is the job of parents in the district to decide if they are ok with their children being taught Common Core.

“Last year and this year our group found out it is against the law for teachers and parents and administration to even look at the questions being given to the students,” said Vazquez. “The homework and classroom work required under Common Core is emotional based

and geometry better in an integrated curriculum.

According to the Common Core Standards for integrated math found online at www.corestandards.org/ assets/CCSSI_Math%20Standards. pdf, children should not just memorize math equations but be able to explain and understand them.

“There is a world of difference between a student who can summon a mnemonic device to expand a product such as (a + b)(x + y) and a student who can explain where the mnemonic comes from. The student who can explain the rule understands the mathematics, and may have a better chance to succeed at a less familiar task such as expanding (a + b + c)(x + y),” the Common Core Standards book states.

“Parents need to read the homework and the questions their kids are being asked in school. They need to look at the math problems themselves and start asking questions,” Vazquez said. “The art of being a teacher is being removed.

We find Common Core is a witch hunt for teachers that eventually all we need is facilitators to give our kids tests.”

Murrieta Unified School District was unavailable for comment as of press time.

Editors note: This article is the first part of an ongoing debate regarding Common Core Standards.

The next installment will appear in the September 12 issue of the Valley News.

learning not leading with facts. We are becoming such an emotional driven society.”

The group wants parents to know the questions their children are being asked in class and to ask parents if they are comfortable with the amount of personal information being shared with the government through their children.

“They have test questions for health education that ask, ‘If you are a boy do you ever feel like a girl?’ and ‘Does your family own a gun?’ These are not health questions a school should ask,” said Vazquez who said the new state standards are developmentally incorrect.

Cora Brush is upset about her child’s spelling homework.

“What is acrostics,” she asked.

“My son who is in eighth grade just brought in his spelling list. Apparently, you spell the word vertically and come up with other words for each letter. How is this supposed to teach them how to spell?”

Parents against Common Core are outraged over all children being taught at the same pace regardless of their intelligence. The group behind REM argues the new integrated math program is one example of holding children back.

“Students who are advanced now are expected to study at [the] same level of those students who are not advanced [and] it is holding back gifted children,” said Vazquez.

Supporters of using integrated curricula in the United States believe that students will be able to see the connections between algebra

Nelson-Sundholm explained that she got involved in pageants when her aunt suggested it. Her aunt thought it would be a good way for her to make friends after she moved back to California from Texas in 2012. She had lived in Texas for four years and lost contact with most of her California friends. “I’ve made a lot of friends within the pageantry world,” she said.

She plans on studying cosmetology to become a makeup artist in the entertainment industry.

Southwest California Pageants recently crowned Morgan NelsonSundholm, 20, of Wildomar as Miss California Empire and Kaley Cant, 16, of Murrieta as Teen Miss California Empire for 2014.

They are the first to hold these newly established titles, which were bestowed on them at pageant headquarters in Murrieta on Saturday, Aug. 23.

“I am excited for these two very committed young ladies,” said Pageant Director Anne Bowman. “They bring enthusiasm and dedication to all of their endeavors. I’m looking forward to working with them as they fulfill their duties in the coming year.”

Bowman explained that NelsonSunholm and Cant were selected based on their poise, communication skills and commitment to community service.

“Both bring a strong background of community service to their new roles as goodwill ambassadors to the cities and communities of the region. They also will serve as role models and peer leaders for other young women throughout the area,” Bowman said.

“Their regional titles will afford them the opportunity to be actively involved in events throughout Southern California and the Inland Empire.”

During their reign, Bowman said the women will attend numerous philanthropic and charitable functions, chamber of commerce mixers, grand openings, parades and other community events.

Previously, Nelson-Sundholm served as Miss Inland California, 2012 and Cant served as Jr. Teen Miss Winchester Valley, 2012 and Miss Murrieta Valley, 2013.

“I really enjoy the pageant life,” Nelson-Sundholm said. “I’m looking forward to going to business mixers and charity events soon to help my community. I like being able to make a difference.”

Local RESCUE from page A-1 According to Lake Elsinore Battalion Chief Mark Barr, the program is a new one but it’s taken more than a year to get off the ground.

He said that he and other individuals always sensed there was a need to have Cal Fire be a presence on the lake in order to provide emergency medical aid at the site of an injury rather than on shore, but that it’s been a process more than a year and a half in the making.

Barr said he not only had to make sure the men in his battalion went through the proper training and certification from Cal Fire for boat patrols, but also that the department had a boat to begin with.

Cal Fire purchased their 21 foot boat from Lake Elsinore Police Department earlier this year and began the process of renovating it with a variety of features to rescue people in need, such as advanced life support coverage.

The boat comes equipped with a pulley and basket to hoist people out of the water as well as an AED for people in cardiac arrest or some other form of shockable rhythm.

In addition to these features, the boat boasts a medical box filled with various medications, splints, icepacks and more.

Barr said the firefighters who do boat shifts have already made a big difference in helping people.

On Saturday, Aug. 30, the boat crew rescued a female who fell into the lake from a near-drowning experience.

Several weeks before that they rescued a man who had sustained a head injury when he attempted to flow down a makeshift water slide.

But most days Cal Fire officials spend their time warning people to drive their watercrafts in the right areas of the lake in what they call safety interventions.

Lake Elsinore requires that people aboard Sea-Doos or similar vehicles ride them around the lake in a counterclockwise motion. Those who do not are subject to a $250 fine from police.

The riders of those vessels can also be putting themselves in danger because a bigger boat may not see them in the late afternoon, when sun glare reduces visibility. That’s something firefighter paramedic Shawn Mudra said he’s always wary of.

“We’re not trying to ruin people’s fun,” Mudra said. “We just want to them to be as safe as possible when they’re out here.”

The Cal Fire boat also spends a large amount of time rescuing or towing people who have become stuck because their boat or SeaDoosmalfunctioned, as was the case with Hahner and Clark.

Cal Fire Captain Todd Hopkins said a lot of people become stuck on the lake because they don’t read the signs posted on buoys. It’s not uncommon for Sea-Doos riders to become stuck on the sand bar on the West Marina because they didn’t see the signs warning them about it.

Other times people will get knocked off of their watercrafts because of the Elsinore Effect, which causes the water to get choppier right around 2 p.m. every afternoon.

“When the wind hits the lake in the afternoon it gets a lot tougher and if people aren’t paying attention it can be a big problem for them,” Barr said.

Cal Fire Rescue Boat docked at La Laguna Resort and Boat Launch in Lake Elsinore.

Sometimes, when a watercraft hasn’t stopped for the other two reasons, it may be because of something as simple as a rock in the vehicle’s intake.

Whatever the case may be, Cal Fire officials are around on those long weekends to help provide an individual with transportation back to the spot they came from.

But in the few instances when serious injury occurs, Barr said the Cal Fire boat can be a major benefit because treatment could be provided right away. That wasn’t always the case in the past when transport to shore was the first step and treatment by Cal Fire was the second.

Barr, Hopkins and Mudra said they’re not sure what the future holds for the program which is still largely an experiment.

They’d like to be out on the lake more often and are already preparing for the possibility of doing that by training more people for the boat crew, but it’s still not clear whether the Cal Fire Boat will be around more often than holiday weekends. That’s dependent on funding, according to Barr.

“It basically comes down to evaluating the need and funding it,” Barr said. “We may do it more if it’s needed.”

Captain Todd Hopkins said the primary interest of Cal Fire is letting people know that they are there on holiday weekends to patrol and help people.

“Our biggest thing is letting people know we’re here,” he said.

she will take part in the survivors ceremony.

“Olivia calls herself a thriver,” said Marketing Director Brian Connors, for Southwest Healthcare System, which operates the Rancho Springs and Inland Valley medical centers in Murrieta and Wildomar.

“Through her years of singing and acting the name Olivia Newton John is associated with happiness and positivity.”

Breast cancer does not discriminate, music icon Newton John was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 44 in 1992.

“Part of my motivation to speak on the subject is because I don’t want my daughter, Chloe to go through this. We need more research,” Newton John said in an interview with the Susan G. Komen organization. “I’ve never smoked or drank, I’ve taken good care of myself—so what caused my breast cancer?”

Newton John underwent surgery, chemotherapy, radical mastectomy, and reconstruction all as part of her treatment.

The full interview with Newton John can be read online at the Komen website, http:// ww5.komen.org/BreastCancer/ OliviaNewtonJohn.html.

Worldwide, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. According to the Susan G. Komen organization, one woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes, and one woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes in the United States. Last year an estimated 296,980 new cases of breast cancer were expected to be diagnosed with more than 40,000 individuals expected to die of breast cancer.

Bruce Cripe with the Inland Empire Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure said he is grateful to have Olivia Newton John at the local event. Cripe’s wife is a breast cancer survivor and longtime volunteer for the local chapter.

“As a family member of a survivor, my wife has been cancer free for ten years, its emotional to watch the bond these women have through their journey and Olivia shares with them that bond,” Cripe said.

In California, it is estimated that more than 25,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among women in 2013, and more than 4,000

women will die of the disease. In the Inland Empire, it is estimated that more than 2,200 new cases of breast cancer will occur and more than 450 individuals will die of the disease.

Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul, according to the organization’s website.

Throughout her diagnosis, treatments, and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying

about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Komen neared the end of her fight.

M o v e d b y h e r s i s t e r ’s compassion for others and committed to making a difference, Nancy G. Brinker promised her sister that she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever.

Today the Susan G. Komen organization is the global leader of the breast cancer movement.

It has invested more than $2.2 billion since its inception in 1982. This includes more than $750 million to breast cancer research, making Komen the largest nonprofit funder of breast cancer research outside of the U.S. government. Komen is known as the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists working together to save lives.

Trending in the right direction thought it would grow to be such a huge global trend. As of today the Ice Bucket Challenge has been issued to the likes of Michelle Obama, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kermit the Frog, just to name a few.

Even Laura Bush dumped a bucket of ice on former President George W. who called out former President Bill Clinton.

On top of that there has even Zach Elliott been ice bucket marriage proposals, which is weird. Not to mention some Pastor of Fusion Christian Church serious head and neck injuries and I’m sure when the first Ice Buck- at least one death, which is sad. The et Challenge was issued no one only real positive part of the trend

has been the millions of dollars raised for ALS. But not all trends in life have such a positive track record. Often times our lives begin to trend the wrong way, our marriages begin to head in a bad direction or our finances seem to go in reverse.

Then before you know it our life’s trend is not what we hoped for or anticipated. The end result can be discouragement, anger and even depression.

Maybe that’s you? Maybe you’re reading this today thinking your life is doomed to trend in a direc-

tion that only brings you heartache and frustration. The good news is it doesn’t have to be that way. God wants to help you trend in a good direction.

The best way to change the course of your life is to seek God’s will. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 3:6 to “seek his (God’s) will in all you do, and he will show you what path to take.” You might not know it but God really loves you and he wants to help you. He actually has a great plan for your life. He doesn’t want to beat you up and put you down. He actually wants your life

to trend toward peace and happiness… toward his son Jesus Christ.

The saddest people in life are the ones who give up when the trend in their life gets bad. They think, “Well, my life stinks. I guess it’s just always going to be this way with me. I’m never going to get out of this.” It’s just not true! Now matter how dark your life might seem right now God wants to bring you out of your dark situation and put you on the right path. All we have to do is seek his direction.

It’s the key to changing the trend of your life.

Local pastor shares message to public as daughter clings to life

Jennifer Mclean holds daughter Maggie’s hand. Maggie is in a medically induced coma after having problems during a dental procedure.

By Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News If life went as planned Maggie – the daughter of a local pastor – would have spent Labor Day weekend running around, giggling, and playing with her grandparents and siblings. Instead, she lays quietly in a medically induced coma with the sounds of machines beeping.

Machines that are keeping her alive after a trip to the dentist went horribly wrong.

Maggie Ruth Mclean is the fouryear-old daughter of Alex and Jennifer McLean. Her family describes her as a blond little spitfire who loves ladybugs and has a sassy little

attitude. Alex is a pastor at Rancho Community Church in Temecula.

Last Thursday Maggie was taken to a dentist in Indio to work on her molars with her mother. The dentist had an anesthesiologist who put her under for the procedure.

According to reports, Maggie who had no prior allergies to medicine suddenly started experiencing complications. She was rushed to the hospital across the street from the dentist’s office where she was having dental work done. However, Maggie’s situation worsened. She was transferred via LifeFlight to Loma Linda University Hospital in Redlands.

“We are a mess,” said Barbara

Mclean, Maggie’s grandmother.

“Life changes on a dime. Maggie is so vibrant to see her laying in the hospital so heavily sedated and connected to life support is hard to handle.”

The McLean’s posted on their Facebook page to family and friends requests for prayers to help Maggie recover.

“The response to our prayer request was swift and immediately started to spread past our immediate contacts,” said Barbara Mclean.

According to the family, the pictures the McLean’s posted of Maggie being life flighted struck a chord with many people. Before they knew it, over a hundred churches started prayer requests for Maggie.

“We have now lost count of the number of churches now praying for my granddaughter. The churches are of all denominations and is proving to us there is power in social media to do good,” said Barbara Mclean.

Alex said Thursday night things with Maggie were touch and go.

Family, friends and pastors from Rancho Community Church came up to the hospital and gathered around her bed to pray for her. Friday afternoon she was stabilized.

Maggie’s family says a groundswell of support began to spring up for the little girl. As word began to spread, hundreds of people began to share the story and gather and pray.

Other local churches began to hear the story and join in the stream of prayer. Churches in other parts of California and the nation began to

join as well.

At the same time, Alex began sharing updates on Instagram and Facebook. As more people liked and share the story, it began to travel all over the social media community and the world.

Hundreds of people began tagging their posts #prayformaggieruth.

Hundreds of people changed their profile pictures to an icon that Maggie’s dad made for her with a little ladybug – her favorite animal, according to the family.

“One Instagram user created a piece of art in support of Maggie and currently has raised over $2000,” said Alex.

Alex said, on Monday Maggie moved from an HFO ventilator to a conventional ventilator. Her vitals were looking good. She is still sedated but taking small steps toward recovery.

“She’s won the hearts of the hospital staff and they love her and are cautiously optimistic about her progress. Her parents, family, church community and online community are all praying for a full recovery.

There are literally thousands of people sharing her story all over the world,” said Alex.

“I miss seeing my Maggie running around seeing her stick her tongue out to her grandfather, Papa Rick, and playing,” said Barbara Mclean.

“Jen and I and our family are completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. We know that God is all over this, in Maggie’s body and in her story that is reaching

Bike and car wash benefits family of Marine killed in hit-and-run crash “We did it in his honor” Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News A bike and car wash was held in Murrieta on Sunday, Aug. 31 to collect donations for the family of Brandon Bizarro, 22, an active duty Marine who died three days earlier in a hit-and-run crash in Oceanside.

The event was at the Carl’s Jr. restaurant near the corner of Alta Murrieta Drive and Murrieta Hot Springs Road. It was organized by the Sinland Motorcycle Club’s Temecula Chapter, which Bizarro belonged to along with his close friend and fellow Marine Shawn Segal, 22. There are about 120 members in the club and a dozen or so live in Temecula, Segal said.

“We were originally going to do a car wash today to benefit the club, but after we found out about Brandon, we decided right then and there that today’s car wash donations would go to his mother,” Segal said. “We did it in his honor.”

Segal estimated that about 250 people attended the event after word about it spread to other motorcycle clubs. Bikers from Los Angeles, San Diego and even Seattle came to help out. Segal explained that the Seattle bikers were already in the area and decided to participate.

Segal, who knew Bizarro for

four years, said the event raised $2,200 and will be given to Bizarro’s mother Laura Newhard of Meadville, Pennsylvania to help with funeral expenses. Bizarro was cremated and his remains sent to his mother. On Saturday, Sept. 6 a memorial service will be held for him in Meadville, his hometown.

Bizarro is also survived by his wife Tamara Graham, 21, who attended the event. The couple was married for two years and lived in Oceanside. Segal said Graham insisted that all donations go to her mother-in-law for funeral expenses.

“She’s very heartbroken over the whole situation,” Segal said. She wants Ezequiel Cazares Garcia, the driver who’s suspected of causing the fatal crash, to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

The crash happened about 8 a.m., Thursday, Aug. 28, in the 300 block of northbound Douglas Drive, north of El Camino Real, according to the Oceanside Police Department.

Cazares Garcia was driving a rented cargo van with an expired driver’s license and allegedly began making an illegal U-turn in front of Bizarro, who was riding his Suzuki motorcycle. The Marine couldn’t stop in time and rammed into the van, police said.

Bizarro was airlifted to Scripps

Memorial Hospital La Jolla with major head trauma and placed on life support. He succumbed to his injuries at 4:39 p.m., 10 minutes before Segal said he arrived at the hospital to find out about his friend’s condition.

Immediately after the crash, Cazares Garcia fled the scene and tried to return the van to a Budget Truck Rental store. He made some suspicious statements to the store clerk, who called police to report that she believed the van had been involved in an accident. The clerk advised Cazares Garcia to return to the scene in the van.

Cazares Garcia eventually returned to the scene, spoke to police and was taken into custody. He was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on suspicion of felony hitand-run with death or injury. His first court appearance was Tuesday, Sept. 2, according to San Diego County jail records.

A memorial ride for Bizarro is planned on Saturday, Oct. 11 to raise more funds for his family. The ride will start in Temecula and end in El Cajon.

For more information on the memorial ride, visit Sinland MC Temecula on Facebook.

Menifee keeps moving with $17.5 million UPS expansion

By Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Menifee keeps moving with the help of businesses like the United Parcel Service a business that finds the once fledgling city an ideal place to call home. A $17.5 million expansion project has been completed and set to open this month. The international company is currently in the hiring stages to fill a variety of positions.

UPS plans to handle increased shipping volumes from customers throughout the region. The center is fitted with advanced technology and conveyor systems to help expedite package processing. The new facility also expanded vehicle parking and an enlarged UPS Customer Center.

“We’re ready with more capacity to serve customers’ eastward growth in Southern California’s Inland Empire,” said Noel Massie, president of the South California District.

Menifee’s Economic Development Director Jeff Wyman said city staff has been working hard to bring in corporations by being business friendly.

“UPS appreciates how Menifee is centrally located. We are close to hour away from San Diego, Los Angeles, Orange County, Palm Springs,” said Wyman. “It is known that companies as large as UPS do their homework when deciding on where to locate, thus this expansion could lead to other large companies wanting to call Menifee home.”

The expanded facility – doubling the existing space – will increase processing capacity from 4,000 pieces to 10,000 pieces per day. The interior space has the capability to be reconfigured to support increased demand around the peak holiday shopping season.

Advanced technology equipment that can scan, measure and weigh packages, and affix labels will accelerate processing and increase sorting efficiency.

“This is more evidence that Menifee is on the move with job creation and expansion of our local tax base,” said Mayor Scott Mann.

The expanded space will cover 49,407 square feet and include 10 tractor-trailer doors and room for 108 delivery vehicles. UPS transferred 35 delivery routes from the nearby Riverside and San Ber-

nardino facilities to serve customers more efficiently and position the region for continued growth.

“We are the fastest growing city in Riverside County and this expansion will help bring in more jobs for our residents so they can work

close to home and end their long commutes,” said Wyman.

The building UPS expanded was purchased in 2007, along with adjacent land. UPS is set up to serve the southern portion of Riverside County, including Menifee, Mur-

rieta, Perris and Temecula. The new facility increases the number of employees to 236, a gain of 19 permanent jobs.

“They’re a pretty good group of people,” she said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better staff.

The Movie Review: ‘As Above/So Below’

By Robert Nickerson Special to the Valley News I don’t consider myself a hard skeptic, but I am a man who needs to see some structure in order to understand. No matter how much we do our homework and study everything, we will probably never answer the biggest questions like “what was there before the universe?” or “Is there a point in having a moral compass” or even, “Are all bad people punished?” I can only answer with the following, “I don’t know.”

I have my beliefs set in stone and you’re only going to find some answer within your own faith. I can see that these questions are never going to satisfy everyone, as there are those that want hard concrete answers.

Let’s say that someone announced to the world that they have found a porthole to the heavens. I think that everyone would be curious, but would you want to enter it? Wouldn’t that go against the definition of a belief? Are we not supposed to wait until God decides that our time is up before we’re given passage to a new world?

To the skeptics that would say yes to immediate entry, I say that when you are not ready to accept the unorthodox without proof,

then the answers will not come.

The consequence of a too curious doctor comes to her in “As Above/ So Below.”

What we have is another found footage style movie and yes it is a horror movie. But this one is different as there is actually a treasurehunting plot to go with the scary imagery.

We are introduced to young woman named Scarlett who has just risked her life into entering Iran in order to find a piece of evidence that could lead her to the philosopher’s stone. This and the name Nicholas Flamel should ring a bell to Harry Potter fans everywhere. I bet you didn’t know that he was a real person. “As Above/So Below” tells us that he was an alchemist and his magic was real.

What Scarlett finds is in Arabic and is translated by a friend named George. He says that the stone is hundreds of feet below Paris, France. She’s led through the catacombs on a tour where she is pointed out the best place to start should she want to continue.

She meets with a French urban exploring crew that helps her through the dark tombs, only to step into the gates of Hell where her faith is put to the test.

“As Above/So Below” takes the

already scary idea of accidentally walking into hell and really giving it unnerving life. This is a very atmospheric story as much of it is spent walking through these dark places, hoping that daylight will be found somewhere.

There are creatures afoot, but they feel just right for this kind of story, never giving us CGI imagery or cheap devil imagery. Any movie that can make the audience I was sitting with scream in unison, it’s doing something right. At this point it has met the rules of crafting a horror movie, but is it good?

I can say that I was not expecting this to have a treasure-hunting story as it is not present in the previews.

I would be fine with this if it went together evenly, but it often doesn’t.

The half that wants to be an adventure movie comes off as more boring more than anything. It has to do with the fact that the casting here is passable at best. The best player here is the unknown Perdita Weeks as Scarlett who can balance beauty and brains.

I’ll give this three philosopher stones out of five. I liked this better then The Devil Inside and Earth to Echo, but there isn’t too much that will make this stand as a testament to the found footage style.

At best, As Above/So Below is like walking into a haunted maze.

Square dancing, it’s hip to be square

By Michelle Mears-Gerst Special to the Valley News Square dancing has arrived in the 21st century. Long thought of as banjo picking and strumming with couple’s do-si-do-ing and swinging their partners round and round this country style dance is making a comeback.

Square dancing, the official folk dance of California along with 31 other states is the classic expression of country two stepping. However, it has undergone a modernization which has thrown the culture head over heels with a new look, new sound and a new role.

The world of fitness is now looking at square dancing as form of exercise and promoting its benefits to keep people of all ages moving.

“It’s no longer the same dance that Henry Ford promoted and turned into a dance rage during the Era of the Model T and the Model A. Today the rage is fitness,” said Agnes Gaertner an avid square dancer with the Temecula Grape Stompers.

The mental and physical stimulation of square dancing is also a reason Lake Elsinore City Councilman Brian Tisdale and his family joined the Grape Stompers

beginning square dance class three years ago. Sharon Tisdale who homeschools her two children uses square dancing as part of the learning curriculum.

Tisdale said he finds square dancing a time of relaxation and social engagement.

“In addition to being a healthy activity, we have had great experiences meeting new people and enjoying the different square dancing callers and clubs throughout southern California,” he said.

Square dancers from across Riverside County assembled last summer at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Riverside to demonstrate the health benefits (both mental and physical) of square dancing.

Kaiser has a motto, “A body in motion stays in motion,” and modern square dancing is a low impact activity that requires constant movement and quick directional changes.

The dancing helps keep the body in shape and raises heart rates.

Square dancers often speak of the “four Fs,” friends, family, fun, and fitness and Temecula Grape Stompers presidents Veronica and Jerry Davis agree.

“My husband and I have been dancing for 19 years and we make

friends at every event we attend,” said Veronica Davis.

“Square dancing is a great social event and very family friendly,” said Walter Wilson another member of Grape Stompers. “My wife and I have been dancing since 1987.”

Wilson describes square dancing as a social event where there is no alcohol making the gatherings family friendly for all ages.

Square dancing takes concentration and focus which is another reason there is no alcohol served at the functions. The calls telling

dancers where to move next provides excellent mental stimulation as todays dancers move to the beat of songs like “Pretty Woman,” “On Broadway,” or “All That Jazz.”

Callers are able to choose their favorite music, which runs the gamut of music genres. The square dancing dress is also changing, while some dancers like to wear traditional square dancing costumes, others prefer to dance in street attire.

“We have also square danced in Europe and you don’t even have to speak the language to dance with

people from another country and have a great time,” said Veronica Davis.

The Temecula Grape Stompers invite the public to attend the next session of beginner classes on September 8 from 7 – 9 p.m. at the Mary Phillips Senior Center, located at 41845 Sixth Street in Old Town Temecula. For additional information, go to www.Grapestompers.net.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Investing in real estate, a simple overview

By Paul Bandong Staff Writer Investing in real estate has become increasingly popular over the past five decades. Housing can be more than just a home; it can also be a source of income. Why choose real estate as an investment? Cash flow, debt reduction and equity build-up, appreciation, tax benefits, and leverage.

There are a number of ways to invest in real estate, rental properties, real estate investment groups, real estate trading or “flipping,” and Real Estate Investment Trusts.

Rental properties Rent payments provide a steady stream of income that can be considered – over time – as residual income. Assuming the rental income covers the monthly mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance costs, the positive cash flow difference would be profit.

Even at break-even, inflation

can make this a good investment.

At a 7 percent annual appreciation rate each year, a $200,000 dollar property would double in value in ten years.

Factors affecting this investment are vacancy rates, maintenance, repairs, or bad tenants. Owners can do the maintenance, repairs, advertising vacancies, interviewing of potential tenants themselves or hire a property manager (adding another cost to ownership). Not all investors want to be landlords.

Real Estate Investment Groups For those who want to own rental properties, but don’t want to be landlords, joining a real estate investment group – a company who buys or builds apartments or condos and allows investors to buy in – may be the right option.

The company operating the investment group manages all the units (maintenance, repairs, filling vacancies, etc.) in exchange for a percent of the monthly rents. Investors can typically own one or more

units. There are several versions of investment groups and there may be additional fees.

Real Estate Trading or “Flipping” Reality television shows have shown both the upsides and downsides of flipping houses in various regions of the country. The key is buying properties that are undervalued or in hot selling markets.

Many investors look for properties that have enough intrinsic value to turn a quick profit without modifications; others look for properties that they can add value by renovating them.

The latter case can be more time and money intensive. The challenge to the “flipper” investor is the length of time it takes to unload the property at the desired price. Many get into the property with a small investment, but do not have enough cash on hand to pay the mortgage on the property for a long term;

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens

Essential gardening equipment

By Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer

Ratchet loppers are necessary for branches over an inch.

Hello Fellow Gardeners! Thought I’d discuss a little different topic this week, and yet one which every gardener will need to know about and that is what types of equipment or tools are needed in the garden. It’s impossible to garden without some of these, others may be optional for you, but the more fastidious you are about your garden, the more of these you may want to include eventually,

if you don’t already have them.

First, let’s talk about the most basic tools. All plants grow, and because they grow, and because you and I are pretty much “micro” managing them, if not “macro” managing them – we’re going to require something to cut them with.

For smaller shrubs, perennials, etc. hand pruners are the ticket.

Now I know there are several different styles of hand pruners out there, By-pass, and Anvil, are the two main ones, but what I recommend, and you may have to look a little more to find, are ratchet pruners. These are the best of the three choices, trust me on this. The reason they’re so great is due to the “ratcheting” action, or leverage, which allows you to use much less strength to get through any branch, which saves you effort and sore hands if you’re doing a lot of pruning.

Next on the list for cutting would be something called loppers. These are meant for larger branches, usually trees, or shrubs that you haven’t paid attention to for awhile. Loppers also come in Ratchet style, and again, saves you a lot of effort, so are my recommendation. Expect to pay at least $60.00 for a decent pair of ratcheting loppers.

As far as cutting goes, you might also need a pole saw – these are handy for getting branches up high in trees – or you could just hire a tree trimming company – always make sure you’re dealing with a licensed arborist and never let them “top” a tree – ever! Sometimes you need to thin trees for their own good and

yours, so pole saws are very handy for this job.

This brings up the topic of ladders – just make sure you have a sturdy one, usually 8 to 10 feet is a good height, and whether its fiberglass or aluminum is up to you, makes no difference. I still have an old wooden one, though it is getting pretty rickety though.

Digging tools are essential. Pretty obvious of course, but shovels are a given, though there are several different styles available. I, as a woman, prefer a smaller, lighter shovel, there is one called a “gardening shovel” it’s shorter and has a smaller head – but it works for me.

Men are good with the full sized shovels, they can get more dirt into every spoonful – which is heavier of course, I let my husband do that!

Spades, not so much for digging holes for single plants, but more for a large area, say a bed, that you want to “double dig” and amend and put many plants into, they have flat heads so don’t hold much dirt. Hand trowel is essential! Just buy the best one you can – don’t go for nice earth colored handles, dark green or tan, go for bright pink, or blue, or any other visible colors because you will set them down and forget where you left them, and you don’t want them to be camouflaged in the garden when that happens!

Buckets – the more the better! I use buckets all the time around my garden. I use them to mix potting soil with other amendments and

Residential income property investments have led all other commercial real estate investments for total return over the past thirty-five years (National Council of Real Estate investment Fiduciaries, NCREIF).

Real estate investing offers unique tax-sheltered benefits. Leverage gives investors the ability to buy and control a property with an upfront investment much less than the total value of the property, sometimes as little as 5 percent down.

This article is a brief overview scratching the surface of available options. Investing in real estate can take many forms and potential investors are encouraged to seek expert tax, legal and professional real estate information and advice before investing.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Is the Internet really a home buyer’s friend? results they found while surfing the internet.

By John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News The last decade has seen the relationship between real estate industry and consumers flourish. The public today can simply go online, or even open a mobile app on their phones, to research almost every aspect of real estate from property characteristics, sales history, zoning, and even research real estate agents. Most of what the general public has access to is free, which makes it that much more appealing.

The issue though, all those free internet tools are only free to the user.

In 2013, according to the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Internet advertising surpassed all of television advertising for the first time, clocking in with a 17 percent increase over 2012 online advertising with a whopping $40.1 billion in advertising revenue.

Follow the money Unlike television advertising where ads are sold on a market share, Internet advertising is purchased with a very specific goal – how many times it will appear, how many times it is viewed, or how many times it is clicked on. All dynamics that is easily tractable by each platform and the advertisers paying the bill. It then stands to reason that the platforms that rely on advertising for their revenue, such as Zillow, Trulia, REALTOR.com, Homes.com, Yahoo Real Estate and every other real estate portal, have a vested interest in keeping the consumer engaged to generate additional advertising dollars.

The question then is whether or not the content the public accesses is accurate or meant to engage the user for as long as possible, generating additional advertising opportunities.

Certainly the lion’s share of the content is accurate and up-to-date and yet as a real estate agent it amazes me how often I hear a prospective home buyer complaining about search

have direct access to the MLS – real estate data live as it happens.

If agents misrepresent a property in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), they will be told to correct it or be fined. If a home sells and it is not reported as a sale, again the agent runs the real risk of being fined. While the MLS and the REALTOR® Code of Ethics may not be perfect there is at least the accountability that professional real estate agents adhere to and model their businesses after.

Ask your real estate agent to enroll you with a personalized MLS feed that will allow you to search the MLS on your own as well as providing you with a drip campaign that can notify you within minutes of a listing that matches your personal criteria when it comes on the market. This data will prove to be 100% accurate, keeping up with status changes, ensuring that data is correct and will include everything you want when it happens.

For sale by owner A common issue found with large real estate portals is homeowners testing the market by listing their home for sale, without using a real estate agent. Often times, they want to see what kind of interest there is in their neighborhood and their home in particular.

Once I heard a homeowner created a series of false email addresses registering as several of his neighbors just to be able to list their homes for sale by owner on different portals.

Then he would jack up the prices on these phantom listings, just so he could appear to be the best deal in his neighborhood.

Pre-marketing We’ve called on homes that clients have identified from the web that don’t appear in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), only to be told by the agent that she is ‘pre-marketing’ the home, that it is not ready to be shown yet. This means that the agent is doing everything they can to build an interest list before it is listed in the MLS. Pre-marketing is a disservice to the seller. Although it may sound appealing the agent is working so hard before the house is even ready, in reality the agent is doing nothing more than everything they can to ‘double end’ the deal, trying to get both the Buyers Commission along with the Listing Commission. The disservice to the seller is that the house never had the opportunity to ‘hit the market’ allowing all viable buyers to preview the home and make fair offers.

Bank owned homes are notorious for pre-marketing. REO agents are first assigned a new listing two weeks or more before it goes live, while the bank determines the price and what repairs, if any, will be made. This gives the REO agent more than ample opportunity to reach out to their own list of preferred buyers and investors, double ending these transactions.

It’s not at all uncommon to check the MLS and see a new listing come on and off the market within 24 hours with the listing agent double ending the transaction.

Off the market Many times a home will remain listed for sale on a real estate portal long after it has closed escrow and transferred ownership to the new homeowner. This of course, is just another attempt by an unscrupulous agent to continue to build a list of perspective buyers with an attractive home. The agent will apologize and offer to provide information on similar homes, placing the home shopper on a “drip” campaign intended to keep their brand in front of the buyer by flooding their email box.

of feet away.

“Rattlesnake avoidance training is a great way to protect your pet,” Karen Singleton of Singleton’s Animal Connection, Inc. said.

Singleton said that training doesn’t just keep a pet safe from a bite, but it can also help a pet become a person’s “early warning system,” protecting them from possible harm.

Singleton’s Animal Connection,

As the mountain communities continue to move through the rattlesnake season – which takes place from March through October – the risk of a snake bite continues to grow. But while a snake may be hard for a person to notice, their pet can detect one from hundreds

Inc. does not defang or surgically sew their snakes’ mouths shut. Instead, the snakes are carefully muzzled before each clinic, and these muzzles are removed at the end of the day.

“We make every effort to ensure our snakes are treated as humanely as possible,” Singleton said. “They are the stars of our team.”

The snakes used are species indigenous to the area where the training takes place and include adults and babies. The course also separates the sight, sound, and scent of rattlesnakes for a complete experience.

Owners are encouraged to participate in the training process in order to help them learn how their pet will respond to the presence of a snake. A dog behaviorist and herpetologist (snake expert) are available during the clinic to answer specific questions. At the end, pets receive a “Safety-Level” grade.

The training costs $99 and includes free annual re-checks. 10 percent of the course fee will be donated to support the efforts of the Idyllwild Anti-venom Group’s to purchase anti-venom.

Space is limited; appointments are available from 9 a.m. to 4:30

Recolor your kitchen and make it more efficient A lot goes on in the kitchen; preparing food, sharing meals, spending time with a friend over a cup of coffee, helping children with homework, baking for holidays – and much more. If your kitchen could use an update to become an easier-to-use, more pleasant room, Woodcraft has some ideas and products to help you get started.

“It’s amazing the difference you can make with just a few functional and decorative changes to your home’s kitchen area. Most of these projects can be completed in a weekend. If you live close to a Woodcraft store, the staff will be happy to help you match products to any home improvement job you plan to do and offer knowledgeable how-to advice for using the products,” Darin Lawrence, Woodcraft director of product development, said. “For more project ideas, check out Woodcraft on Pinterest www.pinterest.com/woodcraftsupply. Woodcraft also offers how-to video, articles and instructions at www.woodcraft.com/search2/ learn.aspx.”

Cabinets If you are not ready to replace kitchen cabinets, consider changing the color and hardware. Since the current trend is for darker cabinets, select an easy-to-use dark General Finishes Gel Stain, such as the popular java or antique walnut. If you choose to remove some doors for an open-shelf look, consider using a General Finishes Milk Paint shade for the interior to complement the exterior color.

For easier door opening and closing, choose a Salice hinge in a darker titanium finish that will complement the darker cabinets.

Add Hickory Hardware door knobs or pulls that come in several styles and finishes. For kitchen drawers, upgrade the slides, changing from side mounts to undermount slides with Blum Tandem plus Blumotion Concealed drawer runners.

Reface the face frames and cabinet ends with Sauers & Co. wood veneer backed with 3M Pressure Sensitive Adhesive that is presanded and ready to finish to match the cabinet doors. For cutting, use a Quad Pro trimmer with tungsten carbide double-edge cutters that

trim veneer in either direction.

For easy application of this veneer product, the FastCap Speed Roller Pro ensures consistent pressure for good results.

To add or replace decorative molding for your cabinets and walls, cut perfectly mitered corner joints with the EZ Pro Crown King Crown Molding Jig. The handy SharkGrip eight inch bar/nail puller can pry in a tight spot with little damage to molding and has curved blade that lifts molding easily. To help with molding installation, use the 3rd Hand’s articulating foot to support crown molding at an angle.

Say goodbye to constant searches for items in cabinets with a DIY 22”-24” pullout shelf kit. The shelves are easy to measure, cut, assemble and install. Or custom build your own pullout shelves using the Pre-cut Prefinished Drawer Side and Drawer Bottom material with the easy-to-use KREG Micro Pocket Drill guide.

Countertop For cluttered countertops that are home to too many small appliances and other items, consider storing ones used only occasionally elsewhere, perhaps in cabinets.

To protect your valuable kitchen knives and save counter space, follow Woodcraft product development manager Ben Bice’s example and build a knife block to mount underneath the kitchen cabinet. Bice designed the block to hold his high

quality ZHEN knives. See Woodcraft Magazine Issue 60 (Aug/Sept 14) for Ben’s step-by-step directions to make your own knife block – and knives, if you are interested.

Furniture General Finishes Gel and Milk Paint are also good choices to recolor your wood furniture in shades that match or complement the new cabinet look. Milk Paint offers an opportunity to add a splash of color on a small piece of furniture, shelving or a plant stand to brighten the look but not overpower the kitchen.

If your wood cabinets and/or furniture only need a cover-up for nicks, scratches and other damage, Touch-Up Pens, Fill Sticks and Burn-in Sticks from Touch-Up Solutions may be the answer. They come in 10 colors, ranging from light oak to black.

Lighting Add subtle lighting with Haefele 12-Volt Loox LED Strip Lights in cool or warm white. Ideal for background lighting, use under or around cabinets, around doorframes, and pretty much anywhere you want. Strips are flexible, easy to install and can be cut to size. LED lighting generates very little heat, uses less energy, and has a long service life.

Real Estate / Home & Garden TOOLS from page B-1 maybe perlite, and a little dirt, to use in potted plants, also to lug out front with amendments for plants I am putting into the ground etc.

They are perfect when you’re pruning, just snip those unwanted stems or branches and drop them in!

Another thing I use them for is when I’m weeding. If you have buckets in strategic places around the garden, you can just bend down when you see a few weeds pop up overnight (practically) rip them out, and throw them in that weed bucket – to be added to compost pile or green waste can later. Plastic buckets are great, although they will eventually degrade, but they’re lighter to haul around, especially when full.

A wheelbarrow or some type of garden cart is wonderful for moving heavy stuff around, bringing potted plants into the yard from the truck or car, removing dirt, and filling with soil amendments if you’re doing a larger job than a bucket can handle.

Those are the tools I use the most, and regularly, however, there are many other tools you’ll be using, rakes, for leaves and around my yard, for pine needles, etc.

Hoes, I like the open “hula hoe” myself – for getting large amounts of weeds out of the garden – don’t forget weed cloth and mulch after weeding to help prevent them from

coming back. Don’t forget gloves either, although I tend to not wear them as much myself as I should, my hands show it, but they really do help protect you.

All of these should be available at your local big box “garden center”, if not check out Grangetto’s, Hydro Scape, M&M, or a specific agricultural/nursery supply center near you, they usually have better selections available anyway.

I’m not going to go into “power

Well folks, that’s about all the space I have here for this week, please remember we’re in a drought, the water district is paying us $2.00 per square foot to remove lawn and replace with drought

tolerant plants – and that’s where I can help by putting a plan together for you. Enjoy the last few weeks of your summer!

Sports PEAK from page A-1 means student first, athlete second.

No college I have ever dealt with will take a chance on any athlete if they can’t get their job done in the classroom.”

In 2013, according to MaxPreps, an online one stop shop for stats when it comes to high school sports, only 3 percent of high school senior basketball players went on to play NCAA sponsored basketball. A figure like that can be spread across the board for all sports, but that of course does not take into account the opportunities that are available for athletes to compete in the lower divisions of the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA. That is where a Coach like Conley steps in to help. Over the last three years he has played a major role in helping well over 130 student athletes get sizable scholarships to four year universities all over the country.

Players he will take with him to Peru State include Adam Quintana (SBVC, Concordia), Joe Riley (Murrieta Valley, MSJC, Missouri Baptist), Angus Miller (SBVC), Zach Hubert (Paloma Valley, MSJC, Texas Wesleyan, Vanguard), and Charley Lutz (RCC).

If you build it, they will come So where does this put Conley in the scouting spectrum locally?

Just recently, he started Peak Performance Athletic Services (PPAS) at the encouragement of some of the families of boys he has helped in the past.

“I did this because I knew I could help an endless amount of other Junior College and High School athletes, both male and female, move on to play any sport that a college offers a scholarship for.

What makes us different from the rest is the old school personal attention we give to our clients and their families. The personal connections we make with the coaches and universities we are connected with are key. Not just mass emailing player profiles to schools, it’s the one on one personal contact between myself and the coaches that separates us from the rest. PPAS is the real deal and we are going to change the game,” he said.

Conley’s partner is local baseball instructor, Joe Riley, who graduated in 2009 from Murrieta Valley High School and played for him at MSJC early on.

“Joe was actually the first player I helped get a scholarship for when he was a player for me at MSJC, the kid was an All American with a huge heart and he had some cards dealt to him that set him back, but he worked through the issues and now Joe will be returning to Nebraska with me this spring to play for the Bobcats as he has one year of eligibility left. It’s an exciting time for both of us as we look to just continue to help everyone we run into that has a passion for their sports,” said Conley.

The main philosophy behind Peak Performance is that everyone who plays varsity sports has the chance to go on to the next level as there are resources out there Families just need to know where to look.

Conley and Riley have found some help along the way with local bird dog scouts Randy Shutz and Donnie Tulimero, who both look to help grow the operation over the next year.

As the partnership began over the summer, PPAS was already receiving interest as a few local baseball players who grew up in the area experienced some tough breaks last season and still were given college scholarships. None of them played baseball in the spring of 2014.

Nathaniel Dillon, Daniel Rubio and David Groh are names that may be unfamiliar to some, but thinking back a couple seasons, they should be recognizable names to those that are connected to the baseball world in the Temecula Valley.

Just a small town boy Born and raised in Quincy, Illinois, Conley and his family moved to the Moreno Valley area in 1980 when he was about 9 years old. He was a 1989 graduate from Moreno Valley High School where not only was he was a standout baseball player, he was also the first baseball player to be drafted out of his With the help of the Peak Performance coaches, David Groh, seen here with parents Rick and Linda Groh, school. signed his letter of intent to play baseball at Cumberland University in Tennessee next spring.

Sports President of Ramona Tire in Temecula takes ALS Ice Bucket Challenge to a new level JP Raineri Staff/Multimedia Editor TEMECULA – It’s sweeping the nation and after being called out to do the ice bucket challenge by some of his employees, Ramona Tire President, Dan Digby, decided to take the “bucket” portion of the challenge a step further. Digby not only accepted the challenge, but to did so in a fashion that he expects will be topped by others in the company.

“Dan wanted to make this special as he has a family member that has been stricken with the disease,” General Manager, Sal Hernandez said. “The employees tossed around ideas and when the word tractor got brought up, everybody jumped at the chance to participate.”

A bright orange tractor was dropped off by some outside associates of the company on Saturday, Aug. 30 at the Ramona Tire location on Winchester and Margarita roads. Employees then filled up the bucket of the tractor with about 100 sevenpound bags of ice. The group let the ice sit for awhile and then

added even more bags of ice, staying conscious of the water drought yet keeping the water freezing cold.

At 5 p.m. the staff of Ramona Tires, including Digby, took the challenge, dumping over 150 gallons of water onto themselves and the service area around their location. The excess water was used to clean up some of the dirt and grease that collects from the cars and then the rest of the water filtered its way into the shrubbery helping water the plants around the business as well.

Digby not only called out his employees at the other Southern California locations, but he also included some of his tire distributors too.

“I really want there to be a cure for this disease and the more money we raise and the more awareness that gets brought about will hopefully gets us all closer to an end result that wipes out ALS,” said Digby.

Digby also donated $2,000 to the ALS foundation on behalf of the Temecula location. The video can be seen online by searching Ramona Tire ALS and can also be viewed online at

Employees at the Temecula Ramona Tire location participated with President Dan Digby (pictured in the middle) in an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge where Digby challenged his other stores and donated $2,000 to the ALS Association.

Wolfpack roars back to down Lancers 38-21

Great Oak’s Jimmy Vreeland (54) clears the way for running back Nick Fisher who rushed for 257 yards and three touchdowns in the seasonopener against Carlsbad High.

Amanda Schwarzer photo

By Paul Bandong Staff Writer It was a back and forth battle for three quarters as the Great

Oak Wolfpack hosted the Carlsbad Lancers in the pre-season opener on August 29. The Wolfpack dominated the fourth quarter 17-3 to overcome a 21-18

deficit and come away with a win to avenge last year’s 41-17 loss.

Great Oak running back Nick Fisher finished off the night with 257 yards and three touchdowns on 17 carries.

The Lancers (9-3 last year) lost in Division 1 San Diego Section semi-finals last year to #1 seed San Pasqual. They lost eight impact players to graduation, including all-league QB Christian Chapman (SDSU). The Lancers have won eight league championships and six section championships.

The Carlsbad school was also the recipient of the 2014 MaxPreps Cup for California with 11 league championships and six CIF titles.

“This was a quality win for us against a top program,” said Wolfpack Head Coach Robbie Robinson., “Our offense put up 420 yards and our defense stepped up big-time with 67

tackles and forced a three-andout six times.”

The Wolfpack drew first blood as QB Dylan Bell drove the team 66 yards with running back Nick Fisher scoring from two yards out. Three minutes into the second quarter, Carlsbad scored on a 46-yard TD pass to take the lead 7-6. Five minutes later, Carlsbad drove from the 43 and scored on an 8-yard pass to stretch their lead to 14-6. But Fisher thrilled the home crowd when he ripped off an 80-yard run to bring the Wolfpack to within two, 14-12 Carlsbad at halftime.

Three minutes into the third quarter, Demetric Felton put Great Oak ahead 18-14 with a 28-yard run. Carlsbad responded with a 63-yard drive, capped off by a 24-yard pass for a TD to retake the lead 21-28 at the end of the third quarter.

The fourth quarter belonged to the Wolfpack as Fisher scored his

third TD on a 33-yard run, Bell ended a drive with a one-yard QB run, and Felton scored on a 45-yard pass from Bell.

Bell completed 10-of-18 for 148 yards and one TD in his first varsity start; he was intercepted once. Felton had 117 all-purpose yards; he carried the ball twice and caught two passes, scoring once on a run and once on a pass.

Defensively, the Wolfpack linebackers were active with Seth Knowlton, Josiah Gonzales and Alex Gonzales each tallying nine tackles. Knowlton (2) and Josiah (1) had half the team’s sacks. Strong safety Jonathan Hernandez had eight tackles.

The Wolfpack hosts the Wolves of King HS (Riverside) this Friday at 7 pm.

High School football kicks off to solid start It was zero week for teams across the nation and locally seventeen teams from the valley jumped into the action over this past weekend.

It was the beginning of high school football games and was what players, coaches and fans from near and far had been waiting for.

From the countless practices over the summer, to the rigorous strength and conditioning programs, preseason performances on the gridiron began to tell the tale of who is ready and who is not.

Four of the six Murrieta and Temecula high school football teams opened up at home as Temecula Valley was away and the 2013 Southwestern League Champions, the Vista Murrieta Broncos had a bye week.

In the Sunbelt league only two teams were given the honor of being home, but all six teams started pre-season play this week.

ZERO WEEK RESULTS: Southwestern League Chaparral – 64 : Victor Valley – 0 If Chaparral was looking to turn the heads of their league counterparts, blanking the Victor Valley Jackrabbits last Friday night sure did help. The Pumas controlled the game from the opening kickoff to the very end and by halftime, four rushing and three passing touchdowns, along with a safety late in the second quarter would give Chaparral a 50-0 lead. The Pumas’ solid performance gave head coach Ryan Tukua some breathing room in the second half giving him the opportunity to get the entire roster in the game.

“We need everyone to be ready for Tesoro this upcoming Friday night and having the opportunity to get everyone some game time at the varsity level only helps us in the long run,” said Tukua.

some energy going into halftime.

The Lions took this momentum and came in the second half ready to battle. The Lions defense did their job and forced a three and out on the first possession of the second half. QB Burns honored the defensive stand by connecting with RB Wilkins two times, one of those to take the lead on a nine yard connection in the end zone.

Linfield seemed to have all the bounces going their way with 17 unanswered points but the Eagles weren’t going to quit that easily.

They completed two passes for a combined 53-yards, putting themselves in great position. It was on second down when QB Stern threw up a prayer to the wide open receiver in the end zone dropping it as he fell to the ground. Linfield caught a break and two plays later Brentwood failed to convert on a fourth down.

The Eagles caught a break of their own by having QB Burns throw a pass that was tipped then intercepted. The Eagles were in the red zone but were running out of downs, but got a fresh set of downs thanks to a personal foul by the Lions. Brentwood easily punched it in on a 6 yard touchdown run.

The player of the game, Lorenzo Burns, would give the Lions the lead once again, when, on the ensuing kickoff, he returned it 8- yards for the score.

The game came to a standstill for a few possessions due to each team’s fierce defensive stands. This changed when the Eagles decided to let the ball fly. 18- 26-and 37-ard completions vaulted Brentwood down the field and enabled QB Stern to run in a 1 yard touchdown to seal the deal in this thriller.

Linfield’s slow start and inability to cover the deep ball is what cost this game in the end. The Lions will have their home opener next Friday against Adelanto. Game time is 7 p.m.

Student volunteerism can have a positive impact, help pay for college

Students who volunteer learn new skills while improving both Courtesy Photo behavioral and interpersonal skills.

Volunteerism can help young people grow into well-rounded, responsible individuals. When volunteering, kids can learn new skills, foster new friendships and contacts, and improve both their social and

interpersonal skills. In addition, a 2011 study from researchers at the Stony Brook University School of Medicine found that people are generally happier and healthier when giving back to their communities.

The study also recommended that health care professionals recommend volunteering to patients 12 and older, with the belief that helping others provides significant health benefits, including allowing volunteers to escape their stress and anxiety. And, there could even be a few added bonuses for volunteering.

Students between the ages of six and 18 who haven’t yet graduated high school have the chance to be recognized for their volunteering efforts and earn money for higher education thanks to Kohl’s Department Stores. For more than a decade, the Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program has recognized more than 19,500 students, awarding nearly $4 million in scholarships and prizes.

This year the organization will award nearly $400,000 in scholarships and prizes to more than 2,300 young volunteers who have made a positive impact in their communities.

Finding the right activity is often the most important step when fostering a love of volunteering in youngsters, and there are a number of great opportunities and causes that children can relate to.

semesters of high school in and out of Children’s Mercy Hospital battling chronic bacterial and viral infections, Tyler, a 2013 Kohl’s Cares Scholarship winner, decided to host a book drive and fundraiser, which ultimately raised more than $1,150 to purchase books and e-readers for the hospital waiting rooms, where young patients now have access to hundreds of books thanks to Tyler’s efforts.

Visit the elderly. Kids can learn a lot from their elders, and many organizations that work with the elderly offer volunteering programs for boys and girls. Individuals in group homes or hospitals often appreciate visits from youngsters, and kids can learn valuable life lessons in return.

Tutor fellow students. A child who is proficient in a given subject can lend a helping hand to fellow students who need some assistance.

Working together to improve grades and school performance can improve others’ sense of self-worth and instill a greater sense of accomplishment in tutors.

Volunteering can foster a sense of social responsibility in youngsters, and may even help them finance their college educations. More information is available at www. kohlskids.com.

reusing and conserving fuel and energy are second nature to many young people. That makes ecovolunteering a natural fit for today’s eco-conscious students. Children can volunteer with organizations that remove trash from beaches and parks; plant trees to establish community green spaces; work to promote wildlife conservation; or further recycling efforts in their communities.

Help the needy. Volunteerism can open youngsters’ eyes to the plight of the less fortunate. Various organizations dedicated to helping the needy depend on volunteers of all ages to meet their missions. From soup kitchens to shelters to private clothing or food collection drives, opportunities abound for kids who want to help the less fortunate.

Help the sick. Many organizations that cater to the sick also provide volunteering opportunities to youngsters. Many kids who volunteer with such organizations are motivated to do so by a close friend or family member’s battle with a particular illness, but some kids even turn their own personal adversity into an opportunity to help the sick.

Such was the case with 18-yearold Tyler O’Briant of Tonganoxie, Mo. After spending more than three

Health

Healthy habits to lower your cancer risk

Regular physical activity is associated with a reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon.

Courtesy photo

Certain types of cancer are more likely to strike certain types of people than others. For example, while men can be diagnosed with breast cancer, women are far more likely to develop the disease. But just because a person’s risk of developing cancer is low, that does not make that person immune from the disease. As a result, it’s important that men and women take steps to lower their cancer risk.

One of the more effective ways to lower your risk for cancer is to ensure your lifestyle choices are as healthy as possible. Choosing habits that benefit your short- and long-term health can reduce your risk for cancer and a host of additional ailments.

Maintain a healthy weight. According to the American Cancer Society, men and women who are overweight or obese are at a greater

risk of several types of cancer, including cancer of the esophagus, pancreas, colon and rectum, breast, kidney, and thyroid. The National Cancer Institute defines obesity as someone with a body mass index, or BMI, of 30 or above, while someone with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight.

Maintaining a healthy weight or shedding excess weight if you are already at an elevated risk for cancer can lower your risk for cancer and other potentially debilitating diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure and stroke.

Quit smoking. Smokers might be surprised to learn that tobacco use, according to the ACS, is responsible for nearly 20 percent of all deaths in the United States.

That might have something to do with tobacco’s role in causing more than a dozen types of cancer and its link to heart disease, emphysema and stroke.

But smoking can even harm nonsmokers unfortunate enough to spend time in the vicinity of smokers. Such nonsmokers take in nicotine and thousands of additional chemicals, including carbon monoxide and cadmium, a chemical element used in batteries, when people smoke near them. In addition, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke were 25 percent more likely to have coronary heart disease compared to nonsmokers not exposed to smoke. Secondhand smoke is especially harmful to children, as kids whose parents smoke around them get bronchitis and pneumonia more often than kids whose parents abstain from smoking in their presence.

Exercise regularly. The NCI notes that there is strong evidence that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the breast and colon. More than 60 studies pub-

lished in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia have indicated that physically active women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than inactive women, with some active women reducing their risk by as much as 80 percent.

Studies conducted around the world have produced similar findings with regard to colon cancer.

Research has consistently indicated that adults who increase their physical activity, be it in intensity, duration or frequency, can reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by 30 to 40 percent relative to adults who are sedentary. The ACS suggests adults include at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous activity in their weekly routines, though many studies have found that 30 to 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is the most effective way to reduce cancer risk significantly.

Reduce alcohol consumption.

While many adults may be quick to point out the benefits that a glass of wine can have with regard to a person’s risk of heart disease or stroke, the National Toxicology Program of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as recently as 2011 listed the consumption of alcoholic beverages as a known human carcinogen. Alcohol consumption is a major risk factor for various types of cancers, including head and neck cancers, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, and

By Kim Harris Special to the Valley News Filmmaker Bryan Caron knows the power of the Internet. Reaching billions of people every day Caron knew that it could be an effective way to finance his latest inspirational film, “Never Stop Living.”

“I saw the potential after Veronica Mars,” he said, referencing the cancelled television show that saw success using Kickstarter to fund a movie highlighting the show’s popular characters. “I saw where it could go.”

Caron is trying to raise over $250,000 for the film and is using

the popular website www.Kickstarter.com to do so. Billing itself as the world’s largest funding platform for creative projects, to date the popular website has helped raise over a billion dollars for projects worldwide.

More than 700 projects regionally, ranging from films to books to new inventions and projects, have been funded using the popular website.

Caron said starting the campaign wasn’t difficult to start; it was just a matter of going online and setting everything up.

“I knew I needed to generate enough money to do justice to the actual story,” he said. “So far the response has been really positive,

there seems to be a lot of interest.”

“Never Stop Living” tells the story of Claire, a 12-year-old girl who’s dream is to become an allstar pitcher in baseball, Caron said. When she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, her decision to pursue her goal at whatever cost will change her and her family forever.

“It’s about her ability to show other people how to live,” he said.

“A lot of people get down on themselves and never really try even though there is nothing holding them down. She gives hope and inspiration to her family and everyone who she comes in contact with through her desire to play baseball

Paradise purchases Buick GMC dealership Terry Gilmore, President/Owner of Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac has announced his purchase of a dealership in the Temecula Valley Auto Mall. Temecula Buick GMC is now Paradise Buick GMC and Gilmore has named Stacey Richards as the Vice President/General Manager.

Richards has been employed at Paradise for the past 22 years. She started as a shuttle driver and has held positions in every department of the dealership.

Most recently, Richards has been the finance director at Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac for the last 11 years. Richards has lived locally since 1989.

“With Stacey’s experience, knowledge and leadership, we have developed a solid management team for Paradise Buick GMC,” says Gilmore. “While Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac and Paradise Buick GMC are two separate dealerships and will both maintain their own identities and separate management teams, we will adopt the same ‘Making A Difference’ motto and philosophy. Making a difference for our valued customers, for our dedicated employees, and for the community will always be our number one goal,” says Richards.

rather than lie in a hospital bed.”

Money raised in the campaign will be used to fund all aspects of the film including the casting of at least one well-known actor, Caron said.

“I’ve already reached out to Josh Duhamel,” Caron said. “He is the one who I see in the role of Claire’s father.”

“Never Stop Living” isn’t Caron’s first film, he also wrote, directed and produced several short and feature films, including “Secrets of the Desert Nymph” and the awardwinning “My Necklace Myself.”

“So far, all of my films have been done without any real budget, with a lot of volunteers and creative sacrifices,” said Caron who admits he could make “Never Stop Living” the same way. “But not only would that be a detriment to the film’s message and its purpose, but it would be a detriment to my own personal growth as a filmmaker and an artist.”

While his production company, Divine Trinity Films, isn’t yet incorporated, he hopes the success of “Never Stop Living” will put him on the path to becoming a bona fide staple in movie production.

“I want to shop it around by using the film festivals,” he said.

“Eventually, I’d like to sell it to a distributor, someone who will put it in theaters. My ultimate goal is to be able to make a living both writing and making films and doing what I love to do.”

If the Kickstarter campaign is successful Caron hopes to begin filming in January of 2015. The Murrieta resident plans to use locations throughout Murrieta,

Temecula and Fallbrook for the film.

“I do want to film in the area,” he said. “One of the baseball fields I’d like to use is the Ingold Sports Park in Fallbrook. It’s where I played baseball as a kid many years ago.”

Caron said he would like to team up with local baseball organizations and the Make-A-Wish foundation to allow children a chance to work on a real film production set and to meet any celebrities cast in the film.

“I wanted to use the kids who actually play baseball to be part of the production as extras,” he said. “I want to bring kids with diseases, like the one Claire suffers with, into the film to help them achieve a goal or a dream. It’s a goal of mine as well.”

Caron, who also owns his own graphic design business, has authored three novels in addition to writing screen plays, including the young adult novel, “In the Light of the Eclipse.” His books can be purchased by visiting www.Amazon. com and anywhere books are sold.

The Kickstarter campaign for “Never Stop Living” closes on Monday, September 29 at 8:01 a.m. To donate to the film, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/1099056664/ never-stop-living. Anyone donating to the film will receive a copy of the finished film, autographed baseballs used during production, signed jerseys, specially designed baseball cards and a change to attend the film’s premiere.

Kimberly Davidson, Business Development Manager for the City of Murrieta, addressed the weekly marketing meeting of real estate agents and affiliates at the Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS® on Tuesday, September 2, 2014.

The city’s population is over 107,000 with the average age at 32.

“The residents are well-educated and relatively affluent,” said Davidson. Over 60 percent have attended college with 34-37 percent earning a BA or advanced degree.

The city is ranked among the top ten safest in the nation (FBI report); Murrieta is the only city in Southwest Riverside County with its own fire and police departments.

Murrieta Valley Unified School District’s (MVUSD) API score of 852 (800 is considered exemplary) is among the five highest in the county; the three high schools are ranked in the top 10 percent in the nation; MVUSD also has the highest graduation rate (94.5 percent) in Riverside County. All three high schools have robotics programs; Murrieta Valley High School recently won the World Robotics Championships, which included teams from Beijing and India.

Addressing quality of life issues, Davidson stated, “We strive to keep that ‘small town’ feel.”

Murrieta has fifty parks – including three sports parks – and numerous city activities: Father’s Day Car Show, concerts and movies in the park, Holiday magic, Field of Honor, Military Moms Lunch on Mother’s Day, Birthday Bash, Mud Run, Bike Tours, Rod Run, and Get Shamrocked among many others.

“The Economic Development Department has three missions: bring business here, keep it here, and now grow it here. We want to get people off the freeways and working locally,” Davidson said.

Murrieta has a business incubator in the old city hall that encourages and houses start-up businesses.

“We are seeing growth in new business licenses,” she said, with 1,570 being issued in the last three years and a projection of 661 in 2014.

The North Murrieta Technology Corridor (I-215) has been rezoned for offices and as a research park. Kaiser is expected to build a medical office building on 40 acres there.

The South Murrieta Business Park is slated to provide business and industrial space.

“We are in need of spaces that can accommodate large industrial companies,” said Davidson.

“There is no news on The Triangle (between the I-15 and I-215 interchange), but the Terraces (Triangle North) may be considering a highend outlet mall (similar to the one in Camarillo).”

“CarMax is in escrow on land behind Walmart,” said Davidson, “It will be their flagship store – the largest in the nation.”

Hotels are also coming to Murrieta.

Residence Inn by Marriott is targeted to open in early 2015. Courtyard by Marriott should be open end of 2015 or early 2016. Hancock Street will have two hotels, one being a Hampton Inn. Public House will open a third location in Old Town Murrieta.

Mixed-use development is also in the works at Kalmia Street and Washington Avenue and also at Washington Avenue and Juniper Street.

Residential housing units have also been approved that will bring the city to total build-out and a final target population of 135,000. The Vineyard (behind Murrieta Valley High School) will consist of 1,000 units, a school and a park. Hunter’s Ridge in northeast Murrieta will be 115 units.

SunCal is selling approved parcels (500 units) near Loma Linda Hospital. There are also other unspecified 500 single-family residences planned.

Also planned are apartment complexes. West of Vista Murrieta High School 325 units are planned as are two more developments on Murrieta Hot Springs Road of 112 units and 196 units, respectively.

“Murrieta is a great place to live,” said Davidson. “We have been ranked number one in “The Best Cities for Young Families in California” (NerdWallet) and at the top in the USAA’s “Top Military Communities’ List of Places to Move.”

The studies included factors of affordability, location, weather, education, etc.

Davidson also addressed the availability of senior services in Murrieta, the effort to change laws to allow food trucks in the county, future growth along Jackson Avenue (Truax office space development), the county project to bridge Clinton Keith into French Valley, and plans to extend Whitewood beyond Baxter to Scott Avenue.
