‘We Have His Six,’ community shows support for Murrieta police officer in need Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

In many cities across the country, communities are at odds with local law enforcement, but in the city of Murrieta, the community came together in a show of support for a local police officer recently diagnosed with stage four lung cancer Saturday, Sept. 10. A grass-roots fund-raising event – BBQ, raffle and auction – was held to provide for extraordinary medical and family expenses and hundreds showed up in support. Over $25,000 was raised that day and donations are still coming in.

The officer – who is reluctant to be identified – has served the citizens of San Diego and Murrieta for seventeen years. He previously served nine years in the U.S. Coast Guard.

Eighteen months ago, he was diagnosed with a malignant tumor – circular sarcoma – in the bones of

his right knee. He underwent two surgeries and a complete knee replacement. Despite the optimism of his doctors that they had removed

all the cancer, it aggressively reappeared in the knee and surprisingly in one of his lungs. The tumor had metastasized within the lung and

surgeons were unable to remove it all.

Miracle Babies help moms of NICU children give ‘humanity a chance’ Paisley Trent VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“It’s literally a miracle to have a full-term healthy baby.” These are the words of Veronica Pacheco, who advocates for the resources and assistance Miracle Babies provides for parents of children in neonatal intensive care units of hospitals. In 2009, when Pacheco contracted swine flu, 20 weeks pregnant, she had to be put in a chemical induced coma after being taken to the hospital. After about two and a half months, her son, Noah, was taken early, at 30 weeks, and she awoke the next day, thinking she had lost him. Pacheco and her husband both missed out on typical new-parent things, as well as focusing on accommodating three months of their son in the NICU getting multiple surgeries.

San Jacinto City employees gain welcome ‘bump’ in salaries Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

San Jacinto City employees received some good news this week following the Sept. 6 City Council meeting. The city council in a 5-0 vote approved a three-year contract with the members of Service Employees International Union, Local 721 that will provide them a 2.5 percent salary increase and a maximum of a 2 percent increase in 2017 and 2018 depending upon the cost of living.

“We have a balanced budget, and now we can give the staff a little bump in salaries,” said City Manager Tim Hult with a smile after the city council meeting. “Financial conditions have changed for the better.”

“However, there will be no increase in the number of employees,” he noted. The city due to the earlier recession laid off a number of its city employees after the city reserves had to be tapped to keep a balanced budget. Mayor Andrew Kotyuk proudly announced in his “State of City” address July 20, the city for the first time since 2013,

had a balanced budget without dipping into the city reserves and San Jacinto’s economic conditions are continuing to improve.

A number of city employees were laid off as a result of the recession and some city services curtailed. The only salary increases city employees have seen since the recession was a 3 percent cost of living increase in 2013. The city manager said if there is no cost of living increase in 2017 and 2018 there won’t be the 2 percent maximum raise for the employees under the MOU. Members of the union and the city staff have been in negotiations for a number of months and worked out the latest agreement.

Under the memorandum of understanding approved by the city and union members, the employees in addition to the salary increase will also be able to take paid days off on the Mondays before Christmas and New Years’ 2018.

The city agreed to provide employees called in to work after their regular hours would receive a $15 meal stipend, “even if the work were done on the telephone,”

explained Hult.

In the MOU discussions the union agreed to let the fully paid medical program for employees and their families expire in return for a stipend to help pay for renewing their own United Healthcare program or finding one of their choice. “We hope we will have multiple options” Hult explained.

The stipend afforded individual employees will be a maximum of $734 per month and families to a maximum of $2,015 per month.

He said United Healthcare is their current provider.

The council learned that the salary compensation afforded current city maintenance employees is “pretty close to market,” while department head positions are very low.

In other business the City Coun-

cil accepted a $116,000 Caltrans Sustainable Transportation Planning / Sustainable Communities Grant. The grant, requiring the establishment of a committee to oversee he San Jacinto Trails Master Plan project that includes walking and bike trails through the city.

The project will have no impact on the city’s general fund.

They also approved the establishment of a Safe Routes to School Active Transportation Committee. The committee, with council members Kotyuk and Scott Miller attending, will encourage safe walking and bicycling to school, educate parents about the benefits of active transportation and educate all travelers on ways to improve pedestrian, bicycle and traffic safety.

On Dec. 16, 2014, the City Council accepted the grant funds

in the amount of $989,000, with $150,000 of the total to be used for the non-infrastructure portion of the project. The Safe and Active San Jacinto Non-Infrastructure program will target students, families, school staff, administrators and community members. The committee needed to be formed to retain the grant funds. Other community members will be appointed to the committee.

And finally the council passed a resolution to form a Public Arts Commission to promote and support the public display and appreciation of art in the city. Different locations of where public art might be displayed within the city limits.

Council members Kotyuk and Chrystal Ruiz volunteered to be on the committee.

‘Be Ready LE’ promotes emergency preparedness Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

September is recognized as National Preparedness Month and the city of Lake Elsinore wants to make sure residents are prepared should a natural disaster strike.

The city will hold a special “Be Ready Lake Elsinore Emergency Preparedness Fair,” Saturday, Sept. 17, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot of Lowes, 29335 Central Avenue in Lake Elsinore.

The family event is being held in partnership with various community organizations to educate and inform the community about the importance of being prepared for an emergency and the simple steps residents can take to get started.

National Preparedness Month serves as a reminder that we all must take action to prepare, now and throughout the year, for the types of emergencies that could affect us where we live, work and also

where we visit, the city announced in a press release.

“Events like Be Ready Lake Elsinore are very important because they encourage families to be prepared for emergency disasters and raises awareness of city and county emergency response plane,” said Lake Elsinore City Councilman Steve Manos.

According to the press release, Lake Elsinore seeks to build a disaster-resilient community by inspiring individuals and families to prepare for emergencies and increase awareness of city and county emergency response plans, resources and additional training opportunities available for the community.

There will be a free pancake breakfast sponsored by IHOP and raffle prizes every hour at the event, along with informational booths and demonstrations regarding emergency plans, emergency kits, food supplies, water supplies, gas/

electric safety, finances, pet safety and more.

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

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

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 financal decision you will make and it shouldn’t be left up to chance.

cancer in 2000.

Marilyn said that when Michelle went through breast cancer, she did not have any support and did not have any friends she could relate to. After touring the Breast Center in Santa Barbara, it gave Michelle an idea and she told her parents that to help others get through what she was going through, they should start a similar center in the Temecula area.

“She fought hard for three years, but lost the battle to cancer at age 26,” she said. “We started Michelle’s Place the year after she passed away.”

“I met Bill and Marilyn 13 years ago,” said Kim Goodnough, “when they interviewed me for a part-time job in a marketing position. Today, Bill and Marilyn have turned incredible loss into what has become incredible hope for so many.”

“It’s a family affair,” said their nominator Saundra Bataglia who worked as a volunteer at Michelle’s Place for nearly seven years. “Their dedication to their family and the dedication to Michelle’s Place to help women is unbelievable. They are a very tight, closed knit family.”

Bill Watson said, “Our Mission is empowering individuals and families impacted by breast cancer through education and support services. Our Vision is that no one will face cancer alone.”

“Tonight I have been inspired to make family a priority and to do my best to encourage others to do so as well,” said Oddi.

She thanked the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for the event. “Your church comes together to make our community better and asks nothing in return.”

Temecula Stake Public Affairs director, Suzette Jacobson, ended the meeting quoting Mother Theresa. “What can you do that can promote world peace?” she asked. “Go home and love your family.”

Four exemplary members of the Temecula community were recently recognized by a local church, honored with an elegant dinner and presented with a prestigious award, later being congratulated with official acknowledgement by the mayor of Temecula and a California state senator.

Debi Oddi, Rhonda Reinke and Bill and Marilyn Watson received Family First awards from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints Thursday night, Sept.

8. Nominated by members of the community, recipients include those whose actions exemplify strong family values, impact our community and further the cause of strengthening the family unit.

Presented by Temecula Stake President Tracy Ham, each recipient received a ceramic statuette depicting the family unit as well as a handmade book containing genealogical historical documentation pertaining to their own family. Official certificates of recognition from Temecula Mayor Michael Naggar and California State Senator Jeff Stone, which personally congratulated them each for receiving these honors, were also presented.

Attendees included Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington (2007 Family First recipient) and his wife Kathy, Temecula City Councilman Michael McCracken, Educator Gary Oddi (2007 Family First recipient), as well as Temecula Mayor Pro Tem Maryann Edwards (2010 Family First recipient).

For Debi Oddi, who was nominated by Madonna Leong, a grandmother of one of her students, serving children in the community with her whole heart and soul was exactly what saved her from the unbearable pain and heartbreak she experienced after the devastating loss of a child.

Parents of four children, Oddi and her husband Gary met in high school, got married after they graduated from college and received their Masters degrees shortly thereafter. They moved to Temecula in 1989 with their two oldest children Sarah and Grant.

“We lost our son Grant shortly after moving here to pneumonia,” she said. “It was devastating to say the least.”

She did not want to do anything, especially work, but she reluctantly accepted a job as kindergarten teacher at Nicholas Valley Elementary School.

“Teaching kindergarten that year saved my life,” she said.

“And it has ever since.”

Oddi’s husband, Gary, said his wife was a real life heroine. “Like most good teachers and good moms, she is an unsung hero,” he said. “One of the center pieces in her teaching philosophy is to teach the whole child and when young children feel confident, they will be able to succeed in school and in life.”

In her classroom, Oddi uses music to effectively teach many basic skills using a variety of techniques, something one parent thought made a huge difference to her students.

“She’s brought music and art into her teaching,” said a parent.

“She’s magical.”

“My guitar’s name is George,” Oddi said. “I have found it to be highly motivating.”

Married to Claude Reinke, Rhonda Reinke, who was nominated by Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington, has served for 20 years on the Board of Directors for SAFE (Safe Alternatives For Everyone), most recently as president. She served two years as a task force member of the Temecula City Council Family Health and Wellness Committee and one year as honorary Mayor of Fallbrook in 2006-2007.

Currently Reinke is the volunteer full-time Executive Director for the Rose Again Foundation, a foundation founded in 2013 by her own granddaughter Natalie Shadle Dixon following mission trips to orphanages in Guatemala and Mexico. “There she witnessed the orphanage crisis and set out to do something to help less fortunate children,” she said.

Providing critical supplies to foster families on a 24-hour basis, the organization takes calls 24/7 and delivers necessary items such as clothing, diapers or formula in an effort to provide essential items for arriving children.

Rose Again also supports many emancipated youth and foster children who have been aged out of the system but who still need the support that a family would generally provide.

Reinke said her fondest memories are being with her grandfather as a child. “He was an Alabama Baptist preacher,” she said. “We visited people who were sick, struggling, or those who had lost a loved one. Then we’d go home and my grandma would be cooking food so that they could take food to those in need.”

Reinke has 17 grandchildren, seven whom were attending the event. “I give glory to God,” she said. “I start every morning on my knees and I pray He will give me those things I need to help these broken, abandoned and abused children.”

Bill and Marilyn Watson, parents of three children and grandparents of six, celebrated their 50-year marriage anniversary in January. Together, with a special request from their daughter Michelle, founded Michelle’s Place one year after her death to breast

Murrieta Police Department showed zero tolerance to drunk driving MURRIETA – This past Labor Day weekend, families and friends celebrated the end of the summer.

Sadly, this festive time is a dangerous time on America’s roads, as many drunk drivers get behind the wheel after celebrating.

For this reason, the Murrieta Police Department partnered with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to stop drunk drivers and help save lives.

The high-visibility national enforcement campaign, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, ran August 19-September 5. During this period, local law enforcement showed zero tolerance for drunk driving.

Increased national messaging about the dangers of driving drunk, coupled with sobriety checkpoints and increased officers working DUI Saturation Patrols on the road, aim to drastically reduce drunk driving on our nation’s roads.

Labor Day DUI Checkpoints planned The Murrieta Police Department deployed DUI/Drivers’ License Checkpoints or special roving DUI Saturation Patrols to stop and arrest alcohol and drug impaired drivers during the end of summer 18-day DUI campaign. A DUI Checkpoint held Saturday, Aug. 20 resulted in 17 arrests. Another checkpoint was

held Sept. 3 from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Police, Riverside County Sheriff and the California Highway Patrol looked for the signs of drunken driving in order to stop and arrest impaired drivers throughout the region.

According to NHSTA, on average, over 10,000 people died each year from 2010 to 2014 in drunkdriving crashes nationwide, while California recorded 882 deaths.

During the 2014 Labor Day holiday weekend from 6 p.m. Aug. 29 to 5:59 a.m. Sept. 2, 40 percent of the fatalities in traffic crashes involved drunk drivers, which was the highest percentage over the five years 2010 to 2014. Nighttime proved to be the most dangerous time to be out on the roads.

Additionally, 40 percent of crash fatalities on Labor Day weekend in 2014 involved drunk drivers with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) of .08 or higher, amounting to 162 lives lost nationwide and 20 in California. And we’re not just talking about a little bit of alcohol, either. More than a quarter, (28 percent) of the crash fatalities that occurred on Labor Day weekend involved drivers with BACs of .15 or higher, twice the illegal limit. “People need to understand that drunken driving is not only deadly, but it is illegal,” said Mur-

rieta Traffic Sergeant Jay Froboese.

“Drunken driving is a massive problem in the United States, with more than 10,000 people dying annually. Drivers need to pay attention to their own driving, but also to others on the road who could be driving drunk,” he added.

“It is your business. If you think you see a drunken driver, report them - call 911” The reality is that people aren’t invincible. Of the 9,967 people who were killed in impaired-driving crashes in 2014, 64 percent were the drunk drivers themselves.

Those 6,391 drunk drivers thought they would make it to their destinations, but they didn’t.

“This is important to remember: do not trust yourself when you drink,” said Sgt. Froboese. “You may think you aren’t drunk, but law enforcement will know you are.

Law enforcement officers’ skills in detecting and identifying drunk drivers have never been better.

They will spot you and arrest you.”

Murrieta PD reminds everyone: Plan a safe way home before the fun begins. Before drinking, designate a sober driver.

Drivers are encouraged to download the Designated Driver VIP, or “DDVIP,” free mobile app for Android or iPhone. The DDVIP app helps find nearby bars and res-

These were the early days of Miracle Babies, a nonprofit in San Diego that works to support parents that have newborn babies in the NICU at local hospitals.

They financially support parents so they can maximize time spent with the child, and through parent groups they create a community who can give each other advice and emotional support.

In the time since, Miracle Babies has provided Pacheco emotional support, through parent support groups, playdates and resources specific to “preemie” parents.

It is so much harder to be involved in your child’s life when they are in the NICU, and you begin living in a kind of “vacuum,” Pacheco describes.

Miracle Babies allows parents to feel more normal and be around understanding people and parents who all help each other manage their lives and the overly complex parenting style of a NICU parent.

Pacheco believes it is important to share her story and experiences with Miracle Babies because “people are sort of thrust unto this world, not knowing what a preemie baby is or what NICU was for.” The interviews

Funding for the extra DUI enforcement operations is a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

She knows how “psychological and emotional” it is to leave your new baby with someone else, but that “this does happen, and if it does there are resources like Miracle Babies.”

Pacheco is “a great example and representative of all women who have difficult pregnancies: strength, intelligence, compassion and unconditional love,” said Daneshmand. He believes that “every baby needs to have their parents at their bedside,” and works hard with Miracle Babies to support parents so they can spend time with their child.

Water rights for property owners Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The 9th District Federal Court in San Diego for almost the last decade has been trying to decide who has the rights to water in the Santa Margarita Watershed, including the thousands of residents living in the Anza Valley and those living in two area Indian Reservations.

The Ramona and Cahuilla Tribes claim they should have substantial water rights because of their treaties with the United States Government. The surrounding unincorporated county residents and businessmen in the watershed want a fair share as well and need to know what they have so they can pursue needed development and more jobs in the valley.

Just what are the American citizens’ water rights under federal law? Federal and State Courts have long been competing with each other on these rights.

It is the basic right of every individual to have equal access to water

in this nation, as it is essential for life. Who controls that water is the key legal issue.

The summary of those rights and some definitions as published on the Internet by the “National Paralegal College/National Juris University” shed a little light on this question. They are as follows: Watercourse: An external source of water, such as a river, stream or lake.

Riparian: On the banks of a body of water Riparian Doctrine: The rule, followed by many states, that provides that all properties on the bank of a water source have equal rights to use and enjoyment of the water.

Prior Appropriation Doctrine: A rule that considers all water sources to be initially owned by the state that can be appropriated to the use of a person through usage or permission from the state.

Ground Water: Water that is present within or underneath the ground.

Surface Water: Water that col-

The groundwater rights to the lower portion of the Santa Margarita River and watershed were mitigated through the judge’s interlocutory decrees, designating who can use its waters and how much they can use. This is not the case with the upper portion of the lake above the Rancho California Water District’s Vail Lake and part of the current attorney’s conferences.

Vail Lake has been filled over the years by the excess water runoffs from the River and permitted wells below it.

When it comes to the Riparian Appropriation Doctrine, it is much different from east to west. There are far more water sources in the east than there are in the west. Our founding fathers didn’t consider major drought conditions we see in the western United States nor the problems it would bring.

The Riparian Appropriation Doctrine is most in question in the west. The local waters, under the Riparian Appropriation Doctrine are controlled by the state and not federal government, yet much of the property along the Santa Margarita Watershed is owned by the U.S. Government. The Indian Reservation Lands and its water rights are separated and under the control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Therein lies some of the areas’ legal water rights problem.

“Just as with watercourse water, there is split among jurisdiction, mostly based on geographical lines, as to how to deal with the ownership of, and rights to, ground water. The majority rule is to allow each property owner ‘reasonable use’ of the ground water beneath his or her property. Essentially, this means that the owner can use the property to whatever extent in reasonably necessary for the use and enjoyment of that property.

The Indian representatives say the Santa Margarita Watershed is the only water they have and should have the right to control all of it to insure each continuing life on their reservations.

The Anza and Aguanga residents claim they too have rights to the water under their own property below any groundwater. The wells most Anza residents have in the Watershed are well below groundwater level of 100 feet. Water they have a right too despite government efforts to take it away.

As legal conferences continue in the courts they will weigh heavily on how much water, and what water the residents are entitled too, if no other issue arises from other sources claiming they too have rights to the water.

More information about this critical issue will be discussed in the coming issues of the Valley News.

of the community, police and fire departments, businesses who have donated to this cause, and all of you who are here to support one of our own,” said Officer Travis Shows, one of the organizers of the event.

Addressing his friend and fellow officer, Shows said, “In this family no one fights alone and we have your six.” The phrase is common in the military and law enforcement and means “We have your back.”

Many there were wearing T-shirts with that phrase. Those T-shirts are still available for sale and all the proceeds go directly to the family.

“Most of the food, beverages, gift baskets and auction items were donated,” said Tiffani Young, the main organizer of the event. Young, who is responsible for events and fundraising for Animal Friends of the Valleys, quickly volunteered her expertise, contacts and time when she heard of the situation.

“We are so grateful for all the people and businesses and organizations that have contributed – and continue to support – this worthy cause,” said Young. “It’s going to be a tough battle for his family and support is needed and appreciated.”

Los Primos Restaurant, Dunkin Donuts, Cakes by Carylon, and Batter Up Cakes donated food.

Kalifornia Liquor and Cold Cock Whiskey donated their products.

Community members also donated wines and liquor from their private collections.

Mount Palomar Winery, Lorimar Winery and Estate D’Iacobelli Winery donated cases of wine for the event.

BMW of Murrieta, Mercedes Benz of Temecula, Dr. Anderson, We Care (Plumbing, Heating, Air and Solar), EVS Escrow, Global Link, Affordable Auto Repair, and Glass Doctor were among the many who donated cash and checks.

Raffle prizes were donated by Anthony’s Restaurant, Murrieta Day Spa, Sports Clip, VCA Animal Hospital, Lazy Dog restaurant, Dog Haus Menifee, Cal Oaks Car Wash, Hopkins Pets, Devoted Ink, Dan Henderson Gym, SoCal Shirts, Scentsy Basket, Chopper Gallery, The Shootist, Brass & Bass, Glass Heart, California Pizza Kitchen and many others.

Darren Deiss of Strategic Funding Solutions conducted a live auction that included a BBQ, 55inch screen HDTV, a handcrafted rocking chair, and more. Bidding was active and generous.

“It’s wonderful to see a community show support for one of their own,” said Councilman Ingram, “Especially our law enforcement who is important to the safety and security of our community.” The city of Murrieta has been named among the top ten safest cities in the nation according to FBI crime statistics for many years and has been ranked No. 2 for the past two years. The Murrieta Police Department is credited as a big factor in that achievement.

A message sent by the affected officer’s wife after the event said, “I feel like thank you is just not enough, just know it is truly heartfelt! They say it takes a village to get through this and what a village we have! I honestly don’t know how we would get through this without you all! We are so blessed to have such amazing family, friends and community and to the PD who has shown such compassion and support ‘Thank You.’ I’m crying just writing this. Please continue to keep us in your prayers – we need a miracle and looking forward to receiving it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

Donations may be made to the Murrieta Police Officers Association (MPOA) designated to “We Have His Six” by contacting Officer Shows at TShows@ MurrietaCA.gov or by texting “MPOAW” to (951) 800-7612.

He is now diagnosed as stage four and is currently undergoing aggressive chemotherapy treatments that tax his system. He will also need to undergo another knee surgery for the reappearance of the tumor.

Due to his loyalty to his profession and the community, the officer has opted to continue to work, but on light duty status.

“Here is a man who served his country and is serving his community with his passion and his life,” said Murrieta City Councilman Jonathan Ingram, who hosted the fundraising event at his home, “This man embodies what a Murrieta policeman is all about and it’s our turn to show him our support.”

Indeed support came from local community residents, fellow Murrieta officers, firefighters, former chiefs and law enforcement officials, as well as law enforcement officers from San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino. Local public officials – Supervisor Chuck Washington, Murrieta Mayor Randon Lane, San Jacinto Councilwoman and former Mayor of San Jacinto Crystal Ruiz, Hemet Councilwoman Shellie Milne – were also there to show their support.

“We’re grateful for the support

lects on the surface of the ground.

The three issues regarding these rights and duties of land owners are spelled out by the University.

They are: 1.) The right of landowners to waters that are in watercourses that border on the landowners property 2.) The rights of landowners regarding ground or well water.

3.) The right of landowners to use surface water, such as standing rainwater and melting snow or to divert such water that would otherwise prove harmful to their property.

In the Anza and Aguanga Valleys there is only one free-flowing river and it is the Santa Margarita River.

The river itself during the hot summer months almost dries up on the surface but still flows below the ground. It is fed by the snow and rain runoff from the Thomas and Cahuilla Mountains. Most of the mountains are owned by the United States Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Other lands below the mountains have also been set aside by the U.S. Government by the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Development of these lands and its water is under the control of the U.S. Government. The southernmost portion of the Santa Margarita Rivers is owned by the United States Marine Corps base at Camp Pendleton.

Anza Valley water well permits held up by federal courts This is the third of a series of articles exploring water rights issues facing residents, realtors and developers in the Anza and Aguanga Valleys.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“All wells must be drilled under permit with the Department in accordance with Riverside County Ordinance 682, by a C-57 contractor who is registered with the Department. Well permit fees vary depending on the classification of the well,” explains Merki.

Commercial wells “If the proposed store meets the definition of a public water system (i.e. serves 25 or more people at least 60 days per year, or serves 25 or more of the same people at least six months out to the year), the owner must submit a permit application and demonstrate Technical, Managerial and Financial (TMF) capacity.

“California enacted Section 116540 of the Health and Safety Code (CHSC) which states: ‘No public water system that was not in existence on January 1, 1998, shall be granted a permit unless the system demonstrates to the department that the water supplier possesses adequate financial, managerial, and technical capability to assure the delivery of pure, wholesome and potable drinking water.’ It is possible

for a public water system to serve neighboring businesses if the proposed water system can demonstrate TMF capacity. If the proposed store does not meet the definition of a public water system the owner must meet the requirements for an individual domestic well,” she writes.

It is here Merki notes, “At this time, due to on-going litigation of the Anza water basin, TMF cannot be processed nor permits issued for new public water systems in certain areas of the Anza basin, unless the applicant obtains relief from the court. This is not the case for private individual wells at this time that do not require a completed TMF.” Domestic wells “Shared individual wells are not allowed in Riverside County,” Merki writes. “Residential connections have the following options for potable water: New well on the same parcel, existing well on same parcel or connection to a regulated water system.”

Once a domestic well is established, the following things must be approved for use: “Total coliform,

nitrate, fluoride and total dissolved solids. Additional testing is not required if the water quality results are satisfactory. Community wells, which have public water systems, must be tested in accordance with California Code of Regulations.

Title 22, depending upon the classification of the water system.

Sampling for public water systems is generally performed by a State certified operator.”

State and Federal laws “The California Water Code requires the State Department of Water Resource (DWR) to develop minimum standards for water wells. State of California Water Well Standards (Bulletin 74-81 and Bulletin 74-90) contain the minimum requirements for the construction maintenance and destruction of water wells. In addition, Riverside County has an Ordinance (ORD 682) regulating the construction of wells,” according the county health department.

Constitutional water rights and some questions arising from the rights are explored in another story in this issue.

The denial of a request by Thomas Mountain Ranch developer to amend the 46-unit housing project off Bautista Canyon Road in Anza to include a community water system by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors continues to threaten future developments in the area, according to Thomas Mountain Ranch developers.

Thomas Mountain Ranch Developers argue that the denial of the amendment made July 12 by the Board could spell the end of any attempts to build community water wells or wells for local businesses throughout the Anza Aguanga Valley for an undetermined amount of time. They suggest this will result in even greater economic problems for residents in the future who hope to see Anza grow. Some local businessmen agree.

The Riverside County Department of Environment Health forwarded its review of the TMR amendment request June 22, recommending denial of the request for the community water system verses the individual wells originally approved for TMR by the county board.

The Riverside Planning Commission in January after reviewing TMR’s request amending the final maps Conditions of Approval recommended its denial saying the community water system was inconsistent with the project’s initial plan and if it were to be changed, needed a revised SAN-53 or water sanitation permit that needed to be obtained from the County Environmental Health Department.

The permit was requested from the EHD who asked for information about the proposed well and community water system. The department required TMR to pay for a Technical, Managerial and Financial (TMF) review to determine if the well would be eligible for the proposed system.

TMR said the Health Department took their fee never telling them that it likely would not be approved until certain information was put on the application.

The health department said the fee was only for the study and would not guarantee the system would be approved because some information on water rights in the area was in litigation with the 9th District federal court.

Dottie Merki, Department of Environment Health Program Chief and Public Information officer, responded to a question about the TMF review. “This is not a permit, only a fee to review the TMF packet submitted by the applicant. We have clearly told each applicant of the problem caused by the U.S. District Court’s jurisdiction over the Santa Margarita Watershed and that the applicant will most likely not be able to complete the application for issuance of a permit due to the water rights issue. They (TMR) have elected to submit the TMF anyway,” Merki responded.

While the lawsuit Fallbrook Utility District v. the United States of America (1951) has reportedly been mostly settled by the federal court in 1968, leaving the determination of just how much water each of the defendant’s that include the Cahuilla Band Indian Tribe, the Ramona Indian Tribe and landowners in the northern San Margarita Watershed area (Anza and Aguanga residents living in the watershed boundary) are entitled to by the court has not yet been decided. A federal court hearing (attorney’s telephonic status conference) on the settlement (one of many in the past nine years) is set for Aug. 17 in federal court. Meanwhile, the Water Master, Charles Binder, appointed by the court, is reviewing those rights or water “quantification.” He recently told news media sources the case may never be settled as new questions keep arising in the suit.

Not the news area residents want to hear.

What does the county say is required currently to obtain a permit to dig a well, residential or commercial, in the Anza Aguanga area?

HS Football: Last second wins and out of state visitors dominate Week Two action

Murrieta Valley running back LikaPalmer (22) rushed for 81 yards and a TD in the Nighthawks Week Two loss to Colorado’s Grandview High School.

As Week Two kicked off, our local prep teams looked like they were beginning to settle in and while some preseason schedules don’t seem to be testing most of the teams in our valley just yet, some are seeing the fruit of their labor pay off, even if it means dropping a well fought game. League action will be here soon and with the new division splits by the CIF, post season play remains the focus.

Scores and stats for the area teams will follow the Game of the Week recap.

Game of the Week Grandview, Colorado (2-0) – 50 Murrieta Valley (2-1) – 49 What better way to gauge where your team stands nationally then by welcoming one of the top ranked high school football teams in the country to play in your house. That was the case for the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks who hosted Grandview High School Friday, Sept. 9. The Grandview Wolves are ranked fourth in the state of Colorado and knew they were going to be tested by the strong offense of the Nighthawks.

“We had to rely heavily on the online scouting of Murrieta Valley,” said Grandview Head Coach, John Schultz. “We spent a lot of time trying to dissect the passing game, their run, how the defense lines up. It was hard to gauge from far away, and they were no joke, the fact that this game came down to the final seconds says a lot

about both our programs.”

Grandview is a team that trusted their running game thus far this season, but Wolves QB Gunnar Lamphere, who had only thrown for 55 yards in their opening game, passed for 265 yards against the Nighthawks.

Lamphere completed 3 passing TDs while running two in on his own, plus pulled off the clutch 2-point conversion to close out the game with 20 seconds to go.

Murrieta Valley quarterback Hank Bachmeier (23 for 33) threw for 478 yards and four touchdowns connecting with Marquise Spiker (7 rec for 168 yds) and Maurice Bell (11 rec for 234 yds) who both had 2 touchdowns apiece. TJ Griffin also caught 6 passes for 76 yards for Murrieta Valley.

Murrieta Valley’s senior running backs Lika Palmer and Austin Bacher owned the ground assault for the Nighthawks. Palmer carried the ball 8 times on his way to 81 yards and a TD as Bacher picked up 56 yards on 8 carries, scoring twice on the night.

G r a n d v i e w ’s R B , H a y d e n Blubaugh, ranked No. 1 in the state of Colorado ran for 179 yards on 24 carries scoring one TD on the ground and two in the air, including the 28 yard pass from Lamphere to set up the final 2-point conversion to win the game. Junior wide receiver Gunner Gentry also scored on a 24 yard pass from Lamphere.

Murrieta Valley will travel to Rancho Cucamonga this week to face the Cougars who are undefeated at 3-0 and coming off a 49-7 win over Don Lugo.

Southwestern League Palm Springs (0-3) – 7 Murrieta Mesa (2-0) – 48 MMHS: QB Jeff Miller – 11 for 18, 166 yards passing, TD; RB Kai Thompson – 20 carries, 128 yds, 4 TDs/3 receptions for 43 yds, 1 TD; Nick Silba – 6-6 PAT, 2-2 FG (37 yds).

The Rams (2-0) will now prepare for their game against San Jacinto Friday, Sept. 16. The Tigers come into the non-league game with a 1-1 record. In their last game, San Jacinto overwhelmed Temescal Canyon, 403. Game time is 7 p.m.

Oceanside (3-0) – 30 Chaparral (1-2) – 13 CHS: QB Quinten Barry – 9 for 10, 187 yds, TD; RB Jamie Hernandez – 20 carries for 83 yds, TD. Chaparral lost senior quarterback Quinten Barry and junior all purpose running back Jacob De Lara to injuries in the Week Two Oceanside game. No word on the extent of the injuries has been given yet. Coming up next, the Pumas will take to the road and face the Redlands Terriers Friday, Sept. 16. Chaparral will attempt to upgrade on its 1-2 season record. The Terriers go into the contest with a 1-1 record after their 41-28 non-league loss to Murrieta Valley two weeks ago.

Great Oak, who had a bye week, has a home nonconference game versus Ayala Friday, Sept. 16, at 7 p.m.

Ayala (1-2) lost last week to Diamond Ranch, 22-21.

The Temecula Valley Golden Bears, who also had the week off, are away in nonconference action at Santiago High School Friday, Sept.

16, at 7 p.m. Santiago (1-2) lost last week to Vista Murrieta, 41-13.

Mountain Pass Hemet (2-1) – 9 Valley View (1-2) – 45 HHS: QB – S. Roque – 5 for 10, 119 yds, passing TD; WR – K. Serna – 75 yd TD rec. Kicker – W. Salinas – 36 yd FG. The Hemet Bulldogs take the field next when they travel to Shadow Hills for a non-league game Friday, Sept. 16. Hemet will meet a Knights (2-1) team coming off a 41-21 nonleague win over Tahquitz. Game time is 7 p.m.

Citrus Hill (2-1) – 54 El Camino (1-2) – 21 CHHS: WR – A. Bell Jr. – 23 yard TD rec; RB – M. Washington – 4 carries, 45 yds, 3 TDs.

State Senate recognizes Murrieta Mesa Baseball program

Senator Jeff Stone presented the Murrieta Mesa baseball program with an official state document Thursday, Sept. 8, honoring them for their 2016 CIF-SS Division 1 Championship.

JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A special guest visited the newly decorated athletic halls of Murrieta Mesa High School Thursday, Sept.

8, to honor the Rams baseball program. Senator Jeff Stone, a former Riv. Co. supervisor, Temecula mayor and city councilman who now represents the 28th District in Riverside County, was on hand to present the program, along with Head Coach Bryn Wade, an official state document honoring them for their 2016 CIF-SS Division 1 Championship.

In 2015 the baseball team came in last place in what has been labeled as one of the toughest leagues in all

the land, the Southwestern League.

Despite all the odds being stacked against them in 2016, the Murrieta Mesa varsity baseball team (27-7) persevered through much diversity.

Not only did they win their first ever Southwestern League title, but they fought their way through the playoffs and knocked off Harvard Westlake 3-2 in a 10 inning, threehour game to be dubbed the 2016 CIF-SS Div. 1 Baseball Champions.

“I have been coming out to this valley since 1962 and as you can imagine there was nothing here back then and I have lived here for 34 years. There is a lot of history in this town and this area and Murrieta Mesa’s baseball team has added to that rich history now,” said Senator

Stone. “I can’t tell you how proud I am to have a high school in my district be CIF Champs.”

During the celebration, Senator Stone presented Coach Wade with an official State Document, so there is a permanent record of this resolution in the State Archives to memorialize this date in state history.

“We just really want to thank Senator Jeff for being here to honor our team and our program. It is truly humbling to hear of the widespread effect we have had on the community of Southwest Riverside County.

Our guys have handled these accolades with the greatest respect and I attribute that to their parents and families and to our community.

For the guys that know the feeling,

know what it is like to have gone through the struggles and to achieve something at the highest level and this is something that can never be taken away from them,” said Wade.

Over the entrance to the newly decorated athletics area in the gym is a banner with one of last year’s CIF Athletes of the Year and a member of the championship team, Austen Salcedo, sliding in a series of pictures with the words “Dream, Believe, Drive, Conquer and repeat” underneath him. Those words were also uttered by Murrieta Mesa Athletic Director, John Broussard, who kicked off the event.

“What’s so amazing is what baseball did and the significance it brought for our school and for our

community is beyond measure. In the year that I have been here the vibe has become more electric, I think people are starting to turn their heads. This is year eight for us and our students are turning a corner in regards to having history and pride and understanding who they are. Baseball had a huge part in setting a big precedence at this school and no one can ever take away the accomplishments of this program. These guys have lit a torch in regards to what we can be, what we are and what we believe,” exclaimed Broussard.

Construction of historic Hemet Elementary School looks to May 2017 completion date HEMET – If you have driven on Acacia Avenue recently, you might have noticed the progress of Hemet Elementary School. The historic school will re-open at the beginning of the 2017-18 school year.

Hemet Elementary was built in 1927 and served students for over 80 years. Hemet Unified School District staff closed the school in 2008 due to structural issues.

Students were relocated to a temporary site at Dartmouth Middle School, and eventually transferred to Little Lake, Ramona, Jacob Wiens or Whittier once the school was closed.

Construction of Hemet Elementary School has continued throughout the summer. As of July, four buildings are in the framing stage, the foundations for all of the buildings were laid, the driveways are complete, plumbing for the storm drain is complete, three-quarters of the underground electrical are complete and the firewater is complete. HUSD Planning Director Hans Twardowski is planning

for the school to be completed by May 2017.

The Hemet Elementary site has special construction features that were added to help students,

traffic, two additional parking lots were created for staff members and an underground storm drain was built to help with flooding.

Staff members are looking for-

families and staff. The district is estimating that 650-750 students will attend Hemet Elementary when it opens. A playfield was built on Santa Fe Street in an effort to ease

ward to the re-opening of the new school site. We want to thank all of the companies and staff who were a part of this project.

Local students named to dean’s list at OCU OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Blaine Whitson of Temecula and Eric Ambriz of Lake Elsinore were named to the dean’s list at Oklahoma City University.

Dean’s Honor Roll status is

awarded to students who successfully complete a minimum of 12 credit hours and maintain a grade point average of 3.5 or higher.

Oklahoma City University is a coeducational, urban private

SAN JACINTO – San Jacinto’s third graders will be receiving something extra this fall for backto-school supplies, thanks to the San Jacinto Rotary and a partnership with The UPS Store owner/ operator Crystal Farmer and her Operations Manager Jacki Espino Ms. Farmer is owner/operator of The UPS Store in three locations, including store #1745 at 140 E. Stetson Avenue in Hemet, in the Stater Bros Shopping Center. Last spring, Store Operations Manager Jacki Espino was promoting the year-round Toys for Tots Literacy Program at all three locations, with coin boxes on the front counters for customers to donate their spare change and with special donation cards, all to put books into the hands of local children in need.

Thanks to an inquiry from Milly

Paulson, San Jacinto Rotary member and former president, about the Toys for Tots Literacy Program being promoted at the Stetson Avenue store, the Rotary club applied for a partnership to receive local donations and matching funds from The UPS Store, Inc. “San Jacinto Rotary annually fundraises to buy a dictionary or thesaurus for third grade students, but this year we have extra general reading books for each school,” said Mrs. Paulson. “We so appreciate this partnership with The UPS Store and the generous contributions collected from the community,” she noted.

Gale Hill, member of San Jacinto Rotary and long-time SJUSD Executive Assistant to the Superintendent and Board, knows the value of this program in San

Jacinto. “For some of our students this is the first time they have had a book of their own,” said Mrs. Hill. “We truly enjoy delivering the dictionaries each year, and with additional books to share this time, we are opening doors that only literacy and reading can bring,” continued Mrs. Hill.

The UPS Store, Inc., and its network of more than 4,500 The UPS Store locations across the U.S. are the exclusive sponsors of the Toys for Tots Literacy Program.

From a Hero’s Perspective – Mary Ponce their journey and what Race means to them.

One of our heroes is Mary Ponce, a 24-year breast cancer survivor and Race Committee Team Captains Co-Chair. This is her story: My name is Mary, and I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you over the past 5 years. I am a 24year breast cancer survivor. Before moving to the IE in 2010, I had been a team captain and volunteer with Susan G. Komen Orange County.

Susan G. Komen Inland Empire SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Each year, hundreds of breast cancer survivors and their loved ones walk in the Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Race for the Cure®.

This year’s Race is set for Sunday, Oct. 16 at Diamond Stadium in Lake Elsinore.

Survivors, who we refer to as “Our Heroes,” will connect on race day with fellow survivors, sharing

I volunteered at health fairs, and was a translator at mammogram screening clinics.

That experience, as well as what I have been a part of here in the IE, has shown me some of the benefits provided and funded by Komen.

I was recently diagnosed once again with breast cancer. It is a very different scenario from my experience 24 years ago, and one of my treatment components is a monthly shot. The co-pay is

almost $400. Before my first shot, I received a call from my doctor’s office telling me about a program that would cover my co-pay. When I received the paperwork for the benefit through the Patient Advocate Foundation, imagine my very pleasant surprise to learn that they are partially funded by Komen!

When my son learned that I would be receiving assistance in paying for my treatment, he told me that I had to ‘pay it forward.’

I agreed, and being a volunteer with the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is just one of the many ways that I try to ‘pay it forward’ every day.

I look forward to seeing you all again at race this year.

Mary is one of our top fundraisers to-date, fundraising close to $500! We hope you can join Mary, and our other Heroes, at this year’s race in Lake Elsinore. Register online at www.komenie.org.

Optimal Wellness Network makes journey to ‘wellness’ easy with Guardian of Health Expo journey, with inevitable obstacles that make continuing on difficult.

The program helps refine this journey by tailoring it to individual needs and pinpointing the best starting point for each person.

“What people really need is customized guidance,” said Dr. Laurie Blanscet, who works with Optimal Wellness Network and will be running the Guardian of Health Expo.

“We know everyone should eat real food, walk more, get your hormones balanced, manage stress, eliminate known toxins, and get good quality sleep. But what does that look like for you specifically?”

In order to achieve this, the program helps identify certain lifestyle clues – including activity levels, family life and sleeping habits – and couples them with extensive analysis of hormonal balance, immune health, detoxification, neurotransmitter functioning and other intricate components to health in order to provide a full understanding of

Jacob Preal JPREAL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Having trouble deciding if the internet’s latest “miracle” diet is right for you? Curious about trying new supplements to help you start feeling your best? With such easy access to infinite amounts of information, it can be difficult deciding which medical treatments and procedures are right for your needs. If this sounds like you, Optimal Wellness Network is here to help. In addition to helping individuals pinpoint their needs with in-depth analysis of their daily routines, the organization will be hosting its second annual Guardian of Health Expo Saturday, Sept.

17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event promises to help residents in Temecula, Murrieta and surrounding areas to fight against symptoms including brain fog, digestion issues, fatigue, weight concerns and more.

Optimal Wellness Network views the pursuit of optimal health as a

what each individual person needs to do to remain healthy.

These factors help Optimal Wellness Network provide customers with a wellness team and a customized plan to put their health back on track.

“The first step is figuring out exactly where you are in relation to where you want to be. Perhaps you have tried to identify this on your own,” said Blanscet in an email.

“Symptoms like fatigue, irritability, depression, digestive issues, weight gain, skin rashes, insomnia, headaches, joint pain, brain fog, and low libido. But, truly understanding the cause of your symptoms takes expertise.”

One of the problems with selfdiagnosis is that it can stunt further research after someone ill discovers that their health conditions are not deadly or serious.

“You are not ‘fine’ if you are having symptoms,” said Blanscet.

“With lethal illness and major health

complications ruled out, the real work can begin. The vast majority of people with symptoms sadly stop here and do not realize that more can be done.”

In addition to providing services that allow individuals to seek out a team of health advisors to assist in their path to wellness, the Optimal Wellness Network will also be hosting the Guardian of Health Expo.

The event is packed with wellness talks, including those on inflammation, yoga and “Holistic Health.”

The event will also feature demonstrations of self-healing techniques and a talk that can help determine individuals’ risks for disease and cancer without the use of radiation.

Raffle prizes and other services will be offered to support local charities. Free cholesterol screenings and body fat analysis will also be available. The expo is benefiting Hospice of the Valley and the WAVES Project, which provides scuba diving opportunities for

wounded veterans.

Children are also encouraged to attend, with the first 50 children over five to arrive eligible to receive free super hero capes. Attendees of all ages can also color in their own super hero masks.

Those interested in attending can RSVP by visiting www.guardiansofhealthevent.com.

Through the Optimal Wellness Network, there are many outlets available for discovering your path to better health and better lives.

“So feel free to tune out, turn off, and unplug the endless flow of internet health information,” said Blanscet. “The odds of you finding your way to optimal health are much better when you search within yourself and seek customized help, rather than searching online by yourself. This is true whether you are having symptoms or if you are just looking for the best ways to stay healthy and vital for many years.”

Dr. Lien K. Ly, DDS is hosting a free day of dentistry with Dentistry From The Heart MURRIETA – Dr. Lien K Ly, DDS is out to change lives by offering free smiles to anyone who needs dental work, as she hosts the latest event for Dentistry From The Heart.

In the past year, Dr. Ly and her team of dentists, sponsors and volunteers have helped over 150 people in need of dental work – treating patients in need of fillings, extractions and cleanings. This year’s event promises to be the largest yet.

Dentistry From The Heart (DFTH) is a national non-profit organization with a simple mission: making people smile. Founded in 2001 by a dentist in New Port Richey, Florida, DFTH was created to aid those in need, including the growing population of under-insured Americans. Over 100 million Americans lack dental insurance, and over 29 percent of adults have untreated cavities. Without events like DFTH, dental care sim-

ply is not an option for many of the uninsured. To date, DFTH has helped over 5,000 patients and provided over $1 million in dental care.

“Now more than ever, I know there’s people out there that need my services, but have no means to afford them – whether they’re out of a job, or just don’t have dental insurance.

This Dentistry From The Heart event is my way of giving back to the community, and being there for the people

who are in need of dental work,” said Dr. Lien K. Ly, DDS. The event will take place Sept. 17 at Sky Canyon Dental in Murrieta.

Starting at 8 a.m., Dr. Ly and her volunteers will treat the first 50 patients, or however many they can service by 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.skycanyondental.com or the organization’s national website at www.dentistryfromtheheart.org.

Dentistry From The Heart is a

registered non-profit organization that offers free dental work for people who need it. Dr. Vincent Monticciolo founded the organization as a means to give back to the community and address the growing number of people without dental insurance. In the past seven years, Dentistry From The Heart events have contributed over $1 million in free dentistry and helped over 5,000 patients across the country.

The ‘Public Option’ is just single-payer on the installment plan Sally Pipes SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Obamacare’s government-run insurance markets are collapsing.

Insurers are losing millions of dollars -- and proposing double-digit premium hikes combined with high deductibles to try to stanch the bleeding. It’s no wonder that exchange enrollment is roughly half what the Congressional Budget Office predicted, 11.1 million instead of 21 million.

So what’s the left’s answer to this government-caused debacle?

More government, naturally. This time, Obamacare’s partisans are calling for a new government-run insurer to compete against private insurers in the exchanges. This “public option” is only a precursor to a full-blown, government-run, single-payer healthcare system.

Thanks to Aetna’s decision to pull out of all but four states – and defections by UnitedHealth, Humana, Blue Cross, and others – one-third of the country will have only one insurance carrier to choose from next year. Alaska, Alabama, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wyoming will have just one insurer per rating region statewide.

The people who engineered this mess should be hanging their heads in shame. Instead, many of them are celebrating – not because Obamacare is failing but because they see its failure as an opportunity to push for still more government control over Americans’ health care.

“The best argument for a singlepayer health plan is the recent decision by giant health insurer Aetna to bail out next year from 11 of the 15 states where it sells Obamacare

plans,” said Robert Reich, a former Labor Secretary under President Bill Clinton.

But progressives face the same problem pushing single-payer they always have – the public won’t stand for it. So they’re dusting off an old idea that will get them to single-payer without using those words.

It’s called the public option. The idea is to have a government-run insurance plan available in every market to compete with private insurers.

“The public option is one of those policy ideas that hits the trifecta: simultaneously simple, popular, and effective,” said Yale professor Jacob Hacker.

He’s also all but admitted that the public option will invariably lead to single payer.

“We’re going to do it in a way

that we’re not going to frighten people into thinking that they’re going to lose their private insurance,” he said in 2008.

The government can price a public option however it wants and absorb any losses with deficit spending. Private plans can’t do the same; they’ll eventually go out of business.

The idea that a public option would be “simple, popular, and effective” is laughable. After all, that’s precisely what Obamacare’s cheerleaders promised that the law would be. Remember? “Just visit HealthCare.gov, and there you can compare insurance plans, side by side, the same way you’d shop for a plane ticket on Kayak,” said none other than President Obama in 2013.

The end game is clear. And single-payer health care has been

an unmitigated disaster everywhere it’s been tried. The government-run Veterans Health Administration is a monument to waste and inefficiency, where veterans can die on a wait list to see a doctor. In Canada and the United Kingdom, patients suffer from a chronic lack of access to advanced equipment and therapies – and monthslong waits for care.

The very last thing our nation needs is to move closer to singlepayer by implementing a public option. Americans need health reform that empowers doctors and patients – not the federal government.

and a curfew that everyone I knew growing up seemed to groan about.

Everything in Temecula shuts down promptly at 10 p.m.

In many ways, I imagined myself as a cowboy stalking into a saloon.

But there would be no heroism, no sense of pride in sprawling land.

Instead, we would be coddled, as a ranch handler might with his cattle, to the point of being pushed away. Or, perhaps, pushed toward a new dawn.

Temecula is the perfect breeding ground for the dreamers. Whether your dream is lost somewhere in the past, in the mounds of desert and ranches or in the future, beyond the mountains that enclose them, there is a place for you somewhere in the city. The sleepy valley, as I sometimes affectionately think of it in my mind, has no bounds when it comes to the limitless potential.

Where one in a dense city may look to the towering buildings with a claustrophobia that stunts growth,

a sprawling valley is a blank slate of opportunity where we can see our dreams in the clouds.

We truly are lucky to have the background of the wild west to inspire us. While I should think that very few of us actually wish to be a cowboy, I should also think that the modest valley has motivated its children to finally leave the nest and find a new frontier. I always have my humble home to thank for my modest upbringing and the shadows of the cowboys of the past to live up to as I search for my final destination.

As a young adult, I feel that Temecula has run its course with me. My fate lies elsewhere. Every good cowboy knows that the sunset is his destiny, ever directing us forward to a new location, with new trials and new opportunities to defend our ideas of justice. Goodbye Temecula.

assisted outpatient mental health treatment facilitated through local counties. This program, known as Laura’s Law, has shown great results in helping otherwise untreated individuals return to productive lives.

By passing these bills, the Legislature has shown that it can unite for the public’s benefit.

For my part, I will continue to introduce and support legislation to modernize California’s health care system to improve access and save taxpayer dollars. I am looking forward to continuing bipartisanship on this issue after the Legislature convenes for the new session in January.

On leaving Temecula, the first frontier Jacob Preal JPREAL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

One of the fondest memories I have in the sometimes quiet, sometimes loud, city of Temecula is the invigorating pop of a revolver as I fired it into a glass bottle. There is a stiff click, a hard press and a whizz as the bullet explodes into action when you fire at something.

There is something so classic and sensationalized about the feeling of firing a gun. It is free and open like the frontier that might have housed the rustic buildings present in Old Town in an antiquated era.

The gun, in the image whipped up in my head, represents the kind of heroism that might have dawned on a cowboy bent on executing swift justice.

It did not take long for Temecula to feel stale. In high school, an idea circulated that Temecula was a “bubble.” And thus it became the ultimate goal of every high

school senior to lead some kind of exodus to escape the mundane and unstimulating. We had much to be thankful for; Temecula was quite the safe place to spend your childhood. But still we dreamed ever more of some kind of exterior paradise that existed beyond the 15. Beyond the mountains that made the valley cool when the sun tucked away. Beyond the blistering sun that made it impossible to grow grass.

The smoldering heat has grown on me in the form of distinct images in inner tubes in pools or sitting in the grass of the fountain off Redhawk where my dad would take me when I was little. I have images of getting pizza with Mom and, very faintly, images of the two parents together. My uncle lives in the area.

And I have slowly progressed from getting picked up at my home for a visit to his house to driving over there myself as soon as I got my license.

I suppose when I look back at my childhood, I can consider how easy it was to grow up here. This was perhaps the greatest crime a city could do when your own ambition and desire to be challenged get the better of you. While never fully unappreciative of the safe environment in which I was raised, there was a subtle side to me that secretly desired something a little more interesting. Firing a gun was, to me, the pinnacle of what it meant to be a Temeculan. The brief dabbling in taboo was as much a reminder of the area’s past as it was a bold, transitory moment for me to reach a new level of adulthood.

The last whispers of the western frontier have dwindled in a county that appears to desperately hold onto it. Temecula is one of the furthest along in the incorporation scene, compared to neighboring areas. Older generations can recall ranches as far as the eye can see.

Today, we see modest buildings

Consumer protections in healthcare Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

We are all deeply concerned about the welfare of our families.

As a wife and mother, these concerns naturally influence my legislation, as well as the bills I support.

As a result, this session I was proud to lend my support to an important

package of health care bills that will benefit millions of Californians.

Under these new laws, patients will have better access and cost savings, preventative care services will expand, mental health treatment will improve and, in the long run, tax dollars will be saved.

Specifically, one measure will protect patients against surprise

medical bills from providers outside their insurance plans, despite the fact that treatment was provided at in-network hospitals. Currently a patient can receive a surprise bill of several thousand dollars after being treated at a health facility.

This protection was sorely needed.

a Toyota sedan around 1:20 a.m. in the 300 block of San Jacinto Street and stopped the driver – Kaphan – for an illegal maneuver.

A Department of Motor Vehicles database check revealed that the vehicle’s license plate belonged on a Ford, not a Toyota, at which point Kaphan and his two passengers

were detained, Davis said.

Further investigation indicated the car had been stolen 90 minutes before at a Hemet residence, Davis said.

Officers seized an illegally modified rifle from inside the vehicle and arrested one of the passengers, identified only as a teenage girl, for

a juvenile warrant. The other passenger, a man, was allowed to go, Davis said.

Kaphan bailed out of the jail within a few hours.

According to San Bernardino County Superior Court records, Kaphan has a prior conviction for auto theft.

Cement truck rollover injures driver, causes traffic delays on Hwy 79 TEMECULA – The driver of a cement truck was seriously injured today when the vehicle overturned on Highway 79, east of Temecula Saturday, Sept. 10.

The crash happened at 8:25 a.m. on southbound 79, near Dripping

Springs Campground, said Jody Hagemann, spokeswoman for the Riverside County Fire Department.

The driver was temporarily trapped and had to be extricated by firefighters, Hagemann said.

The driver was taken to a hospital

for treatment of serious injuries.

Traffic was expected to be restricted to one lane for about three hours as crews clean the spilled cement and remove the truck from the road, according to the California Highway Patrol.

Garage fire displaces two Temecula residents TEMECULA – Two adults were displaced from their Temecula-area home Tuesday, Sept. 13 by a garage fire, authorities said.

The fire was reported at 5:43 p.m. in the 36900 block of Los Alamitos

Drive, said Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire Department.

The first arriving fire units reported the garage was fully involved, Hagemann said. It took 25 firefighters about 35 minutes to put

out the flames.

The damage was confined to the garage and no injuries were reported but the residents were displaced, she said.

Felon who fled police in stolen truck sentenced BANNING – A convicted felon who stole a pickup truck and attempted to flee from Hemet police was sentenced Tuesday, Sept. 13 to 2 years, eight months in state prison.

Richard Anthony Lopez, 38, of Hemet pleaded guilty in June to felony evading. In exchange for his admission, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office dropped auto theft and eluding charges.

Superior Court Judge W. Charles Morgan certified the terms of the plea agreement and handed down the sentence stipulated by the prosecution and defense.

Lopez’s co-defendant, 25-yearold Desiree Monique Escalante of Perris, also pleaded guilty in June to an identity theft charge and was sentenced to 40 months of mandatory supervision, a stricter form of

probation imposed in lieu of prison.

Numerous ID cards, checks and Social Security cards were found in Escalante’s possession – all part of a theft scam, Dickson said.

According to court records, she had prior convictions for fraud and possession of illegal drugs.

Lopez has prior convictions for robbery, being a felon in possession of a firearm and resisting arrest.

Temecula Family devastated by DUI-related crash in San Diego was cooperating with the investigation and they do not believe he was driving under the influence.

CHP officers shut down several lanes on the southbound side the freeway following the hit-and-run.

They also launched a search for the driver of the Cadillac who fled the scene.

Investigators from the department’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team responded to the location to conduct an accident investigation.

Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A grandmother and her 2-yearold granddaughter were killed in a DUI-related hit and run traffic collision on the southbound I-15 at Scripps Poway Parkway, near Mercy Road early Saturday morning Sept. 10. The two died after their car was hit first by a suspected drunk driver who fled the scene and then by a pickup truck.

Four people including, a 64-yearold grandmother, a 2-year-old toddler, a 5-year-old girl and the children’s 35-year-old mother, were in a silver Honda when a silver Cadillac CTS crashed into them, according to California Highway Patrol.

CHP officials said the deadly incident occurred at about 1:45 a.m. when the initial hit-and-run collision left the Honda disabled in the lanes of traffic.

Moments later, a couple in a red pickup truck failed to see the disabled vehicle and slammed fullspeed into it.

The suspect reportedly stopped momentarily on the right shoulder of the freeway, before fleeing the scene.

Emergency crews respond to a fatal accident that took the life of a Temecula toddler and her grandmother.

When officers and other emergency first responders arrived, the Honda was so badly mangled from the two collisions, that emergency crews had to extricate the family from the wreckage.

The grandmother and 2-year-old girl, who had not been identified by press time, succumbed to their injuries and both were pronounced dead at the scene, according to CHP officials.

Investigators said the mother and children are from Temecula, just north of San Diego County, and the grandmother was from Fairfield,

California.

Paramedics treated the 35-yearold mother from Temecula and her 5-year-old daughter at the scene before rushing them to local hospitals.

The girl suffered a concussion and is being treated at Rady Children’s Hospital. Her mother is hospitalized with major injuries at Sharp Memorial.

The passenger from the red pickup truck was also taken to a local hospital with unspecified minor injuries. According to officials, the driver of the truck was not injured.

Investigators have stated the driver

Tow truck driver instrumental in locating suspect The alleged suspect was later located and identified as 31-yearold Grant Stewart Thoren. Officials located Thoren’s damaged silver Cadillac CTS with help from a tow truck driver who towed Thoren’s car to what is believed to be a sober living home in Vista.

CHP officials said based on their investigation and Thoren’s statements, they determined that after the crash, Thoren exited the freeway on Mira Mesa Boulevard and drove to a gas station. He then called a towing company from the gas station and had his car towed to the residence in Vista.

When the tow truck driver later heard a news report about the fatal hit and run collision, he called CHP to report that he had driven the suspect and his Cadillac to the Vista residence.

CHP officials said the tow truck driver did not know Thoren had been involved in the deadly hit-andrun on the freeway when he towed him and the vehicle to Vista.

Once he was located and detained, Thoren reportedly admitted to investigators his involvement in the fatal collision.

Thoren is facing several charges including DUI, felony hit-and-run and homicide, according to CHP officials.

All southbound lanes, except for the carpool lane, remained closed to traffic all Saturday morning. A SigAlert was issued in the area and traffic was reportedly backed up for miles.

Shortly before 1 p.m., nearly 12 hours after the deadly accident, Caltrans updated that all southbound I-15 lanes had re-opened to traffic.

Pair armed during club altercation, police say RIVERSIDE – A convicted felon and another man were arrested Sept. 12 outside a Riverside nightclub, where they allegedly got into a scuffle while armed with guns.

Eric Bernard Bell, 19, of Beaumont and Daniel Gonzales, 24, of Hemet were each booked into the Robert Presley Detention Center – Bell on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a loaded handgun,

and Gonzales on suspicion of being in possession of a loaded assault rifle.

Bell posted $10,000 bail and was released a short time later. Gonzales is being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.

According to Riverside police, the two suspects were among a group of people who got into a physical confrontation shortly after 2 a.m. in the parking lot of the

Sevilla Nightclub on Mission Inn Avenue and Mulberry Street.

Security guards went to break up the altercation, during which one of the parties involved pulled a handgun, which a bouncer kicked out of his hand, police said. Bell allegedly grabbed the pistol and took off running just before officers arrived.

Officers stopped two vehicles a short distance from the scene. Bell

was in one car, and Gonzales in the other. Each man was arrested after officers searched their respective vehicles and discovered the firearms, police alleged.

Bell has a prior felony conviction in another jurisdiction, but jail records did not disclose the nature of the offense. No information was available regarding Gonzales.

Woman accused of stealing from construction site skips hearing RIVERSIDE – A woman accused in the theft of about $6,000 worth of equipment from a construction site failed to appear for arraignment Sept. 12 in Riverside, prompting a judge to issue a warrant for her arrest.

Hermelinda Garza Quinones, 27, of Moreno Valley was arrested in early July after she and three others allegedly snatched tools and other gear from a fenced location in the 21000 block of Eucalyptus Avenue in Moreno Valley.

Quionones was slated to be arraigned on grand theft and burglary charges before Riverside County

Superior Court Judge Helios Hernandez. But when her case was called this morning, the defendant was nowhere to be found.

Hernandez immediately signed a $50,000 bench warrant for Quinones, who had been free on her own recognizance.

Two of her co-defendants pleaded guilty to felony charges in August.

Ronnie Joe Gilstrap, 22, was sentenced to three years’ probation, and 44-year-old Erick Allen Jones, a parolee, was sentenced to six months in jail and three years’ probation.

A fourth defendant, 47-year-old Pamela Ann Macias, is scheduled

to be arraigned Sept. 13 at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

According to sheriff’s officials, a witness called 911 on the afternoon of July 10 to report a burglary in progress at the construction site, prompting deputies to investigate.

Shortly after reaching the location, the deputies were directed to a Ford F-150 pickup truck that had just left and into which the defendants had loaded power tools and other equipment, sheriff’s Sgt. Sam Flores alleged.

He said deputies spotted the pickup pulling onto a side street and gave chase. The driver, Macias,

stopped after the patrol units got behind her with their lights and siren engaged.

According to Flores, two passengers – Quinones and Gilstrap – jumped from the truck and ran.

Gilstrap was located minutes later at a nearby residence and surrendered peacefully. Quinones was located in another part of the city the following day and was taken into custody without incident.

Flores said the stolen goods were valued at roughly $6,000.

Court records show no prior documented felony convictions for Quinones.

Motorcycle crash causes highway closure in Lake Elsinore LAKE ELSINORE – A motorcycle crash today forced the closure of the Ortega Highway in the mountains between Orange County

and Lake Elsinore.

The crash was reported on Highway 74 about 11:10 a.m. on the 74, near the Ortega Oaks Candy Store

at 34950 Ortega Hwy., according to the California Highway Patrol.

Information regarding the motorcyclist’s condition was not im-

mediately available.

Both directions of Route 74 were closed from about 11:35 a.m. to noon, according to the CHP.

Transient allegedly tries to use officer’s badge as weapon HEMET – A transient suspected of attacking a Hemet police officer and trying to use the lawman’s badge as a weapon was being held Friday, Sept.

9, in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Gerald Owen Peachie, 46, was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of battery on a peace officer, assault on a peace officer and resisting arrest.

Peachie was contacted by the patrolman, who was not identified, about 8 a.m. Thursday in the 2100 block of Florida Avenue after the suspect allegedly harassed members of a gas station cleaning crew, prompting one of them

to call 911, according to Hemet police.

Lt. Eric Dickson said Peachie left the business before the officer arrived, but the caller pointed out that the suspect was in a wheelchair across the street.

Dickson said the patrolman approached and attempted to speak with Peachie, who “suddenly jumped out of the wheelchair and attacked the officer.”

“The officer and Peachie fell to the ground, and during the altercation, Peachie pulled the officer’s badge off his uniform and grasped it so that the approximately three-inch steel pin portion of the badge was positioned

between his knuckles,” the lieutenant said.

He alleged Peachie swung at the officer several times, but the lawman was able to dodge the swipes and deployed his baton, ordering Peachie to drop the badge and surrender, ultimately gaining his compliance.

Neither the officer or Peachie was injured, according to Dickson.

According to court records, the suspect has a prior felony conviction for grand theft, as well as misdemeanor convictions for battery and resisting arrest.

Western Science Center celebrates 10th Anniversary

Dallas Raines, Channel 7 KABC weatherman, acted as host and MC at the Western Science Center 10th Anniversary “Science Under the Stars” Celebration in Hemet Sept. 10. Raines helped out with the auction that followed a catered dinner for almost 400 guests that attended the special event.

This banner greeted the nearly 400 guests who attended the 10th Anniversary “Science Under the Stars” Celebration of the Western Science Center in Hemet Sat. Sept. 10. The Center houses 1 million fossils found when Diamond Valley Reservoir was excavated.

Todd Faust and Howard Rosenthal (left), on the Western Science Center Executive Committee, were the main speakers at the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Western Science Center Sept. 10. An estimate 400 invited guests attended the celebration with a dinner, live auction and entertainment.

Nicely decorated clothed tables with wine were set for guests at the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Western Science Center in Hemet Sept. 10. A buffet style dinner was also offered invited guests with prime rib and rolled salmon.

This delicious table of appetizers was set out for the nearly 400 guests attending the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Western Science Center in Hemet. A fine dinner replete with wine was provided the invited guests prior to a live auction to raise money for the Center’s maintenance and operations in the coming year.

The band Déjà vu topped off the 10th Anniversary of the Western Science Center’s “Science Under the Stars” Celebration Sept. 10.

Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Western Science Center in Hemet drew close to 400 area officials, residents and Dallas Raines, KABC Channel 7 weatherman, to its 19th Anniversary Celebration “Science Under the Stars” Saturday, Sept. 10 in Hemet.

The Western Science Center and Museum on 2335 Searl Parkway opened on October 15, 2006, with more than 1 million fossils in its collection excavated from the floor of the Metropolitan Water District’s Diamond Valley Reservoir when it was being built. The center at that time was named the Western Center for Archaeology & Paleontology and in 2009 changed to its current name.

Included in the celebration was an auction to help raise funds for the Center, its exhibits and program, a catered dinner, wine, music and dance that continue through the evening.

Dallas Raines, KABC Channel 7’s weatherman, invited to host the special event, introduced the center’s president Todd Faust after leading the guests in the Pledge

of Allegiance and hearing the Tahquitz High School Chamber Singers sing the National Anthem.

Faust greeted the hundreds of guests seated at tables in the center quad including city officials from Hemet, Moreno Valley, San Jacinto and Menifee, 3rd District County Supervisor Chuck Washington, retired state Sen. David Kelley, Soboba and Santa Rosa Indian tribal councilmen, water district board members, Hemet and San Jacinto School superintendents, Center Executive Director Dr. Alton Dooley, prominent local doctors and many others. Many of those were recognized for their part in establishing the Science Center and the Western Center Academy for middle school to high school students.

Faust introduced Howard B. Rosenthal, a founder of the Center, who described the history and progress of the Center and Academy in the past 10 years. Rosenthal and Giesla Gosch along with the financial help of Sen. Kelley, the Soboba Indian Tribe, the Bank of Hemet, MWD and others in the community saw the dream of a Western Science Center come true.

Geisla Gosch, center, and her friends and family at their table, were active bidders in the fundraising auction Saturday, Sept. 10 at the Center’s 10th Anniversary “Science Under the Stars” celebration. Eric and Geisla Gosch and his family were instrumental in the founding of the Science Center that opened 10 years Tony Ault photos ago. She remains on the Center’s executive board.

“We are proud tonight. We set an all-time record for sponsorship for this event, underscoring the regional community’s recognition of the science and educational importance of this campus,” said Rosenthal.

He told those attending they had high hopes for the future of the museum and praised those that had helped it come to fruition in the past few years. He cited the Centers success in becoming the first museum in the world to host the “H2O Today” traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institute and urged everyone to attend the December opening of the museum’ s “Stepping Out of the Past” exhibit.

He praised the work the current and past boards had done to make the Center debt free and winning a 200-year lease from MWD who owns the land. He noted the fossil collection belongs to the water district but the lease allows the Center to “take care of it and curate it.” The collection has brought some of the top paleontologists and researchers and their teams to the Center to study the collection.

“The story is about what a community can accomplish and

what the people can accomplish in America when you take politics out of it and you have a reason that is going to benefit everybody with a middle school that is top one percent in the state and a high school,” Rosenthal continued. “We are sitting here with one of the highest rated schools in southern California. We are sitting here with one of the top or three of the largest paleontology sites and we have a world class scientist and team doing research and are connected with other scientists around the globe. Our community has a lot to be proud of!”

He praised others in the community who have made contributions to the world of paleontology and in particular the late Harley Garbani, fossil hunter from San Jacinto. He said that in his hunts he found an unusual dinosaur egg of until now from an unknown species. His collections make up much of the fossil exhibits in the Los Angeles Natural History Museum. He had eight dinosaurs named after him.

Following the celebration talks the guest participated in a live auction led by Rosenthal that brought in an estimated $100,000

judging from the bids that ranged from $700 to $2,300. There were 21 listed items, all donated by local businesses and patrons of the Center. Auction items ranged from a local fresh fruit and vegetable basket to multiple weeklong stays at vacation resorts on the beach and in Costa Rica.

At end of the auction a presentation was made on a new permanent highway sign showing the Center’s planned activities and exhibits and a request for donors to build a $25,000 interactive kiosk exhibit with computer tablets with 3-D programming capabilities. The exhibit will show and explain every angle of a dinosaur fossil. Twentysix invited guests responded with $1,000 donations for the kiosk.

Following the auction, guests saw a presentation by scientists from General Atomics, Energy/ Fusion Group who demonstrated how fusion generation with plasma will become the energy producer of the future.

The evening concluded with the band Déjà vu that brought the crowd to dancing and singing in the Center’s 10th Anniversary Celebration.

Menifee Summer Camp enjoys art partnership

Arts Council Menifee SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

To children, summer camp is a time for fun. It’s a time to sing, run and play. The City of Menifee Community Services department offers all of that and more each summer at Lazy Creek Park.

This year, city parks staff desired to offer a well-rounded program that included opportunities for youth campers to be creative. They reached out to Menifee’s nonprofit art organization to provide art instruction as part of the summer camp’s weekly curriculum.

“The city’s Community Services staff was familiar with our recent successful Summer Youth Art Institute program, and asked if we would continue something similar

as part of the Lazy Creek Summer Camp,” said Bill Zimmerman who volunteered to coordinate the program for Arts Council Menifee.

One of Arts Council Menifee’s goals is to utilize the North Annex Co-Op building at the Kay Ceniceros Community Center by providing free art classes at the building. So they developed an art program for the camp kids at the building.

“It worked out perfectly. The art room is one block from the park, so our counselors could escort all the kids safely down the sidewalk and deliver them to the art teachers,” said Jason Hendrix, Menifee Community Services Supervisor.

Each week, the summer camp offered a different theme, so the art teachers modeled the children’s projects to match. For example, the children worked together to illustrate a giant poster that depicted action figures during “super hero” week, and made jewel-filled underwater treasure chests using

envelopes during “pirate” week.

The best programs for children are often found when public agencies partner with local service organizations. Volunteers that work with youth are rewarded by the joy that is seen in the eyes of boys and girls who just discovered that they have talent.

Although Zimmerman coordinated the summer art program, he gives the credit to the art teachers who provided the instruction. “It was Debby Jimenez, Kathleen Crain, Nicole Greenberg and Kathy Pickett who really inspired the kids.

These teachers are professional level artists who understand how to make learning fun,” he said.

With school now back in session, the art organization is making plans to provide supplies and assistance to after school art programs that will be offered at a few elementary schools in Menifee and Romoland.

Serrano took fourth place in the Color Nature – Wild Animals – Birds category for “There’s Something on My Head,” which is a spider on the head of a burrowing owl, and the photograph was also given a donated award from the American Society of Media Photographers.

“I am very honored to have received an additional award,” Serrano said.

Serrano had not previously entered the San Diego County Fair’s Exhibition of Photography. “A friend of mine entered last year.

We belong to the same photography club and the photography club was encouraging us to enter,” she said.

Serrano and Temecula resident Tanya Rogers are both members of the Inland Empire Photography Club. Serrano did not have enough time prior to last year’s entry deadline to have a photo printed and matted.

“This year the club really pushed.

They were encouraging the whole club to go ahead and submit and

just try it,” Serrano said.

Serrano submitted three photos for the 2016 exhibition. All three were accepted and all three placed.

“That was exciting,” she said. “I was very pleased. I was surprised.”

Photographers who desire to have their work displayed in the Exhibition of Photography apply over the Internet. Three-judge panels determine which online submissions merit further review, a second tier of judging determines which of those should be hung at the fair and the third tier of judging decides which photos within a category earn ribbons for first through fourth place or for honorable mention. This year approximately 4,000 entries were submitted, approximately 1,400 of those were given further consideration and approximately 1,350 were displayed.

“There’s Something on My Head” was taken at the Salton Sea in December 2015. Serrano was about 15 feet away when she shot the photo of the spider. “I was using my 500 millimeter prime lens,” she said.

Serrano also received two thirdplace awards. Her photo in the Color Nature – Wild Animals – Birds category of a Harris’ Hawk on a branch is called “Empowered”

communities. Each guest will have a free opportunity to win an original painting by a local artist.

In addition, there will be free refreshments, and ballots to vote for the “View’s Choice. Many of the Council’s artists will also be on hand to offer their art work for viewing and purchase.

Come join us Sunday, Oct. 2, from 2:30-4:30 p.m. at the Kay Ceniceros Center located at Newport and Evans roads in Menifee.

Fazeli Cellar celebrates first crush and anniversary with Mobarak Celebration Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERRMEDIA.COM Fazeli Cellars Winery, one of the newer wineries in Temecula’s wine country, will celebrate its tenth harvest anniversary, first anniversary of the winery and its first crush at the winery on Sept. 24.

“We will have a Mobarak Celebration, and it’s a big deal,” said owner BJ Fazeli, who invites all

of Fazeli Cellars Winery fans to come to a special celebration that will be a lot of fun for everyone.

“We are not even a year old; we are only about nine months old, but our first crush happens in September.”

The word ‘mobarak’ is Farsi for ‘congratulations,’ which aptly fits the celebratory gathering that is set to happen at the winery.

From 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., guests will be able to enjoy free flowing

At 7 p.m., an open buffet with a variety of delicious Persian food will be offered.

“We are pretty much going out of town [with our food style],” said Fazeli. “We will have different kinds of rice prepared with saffron, chicken, morello cherries, as well as different kabobs, chicken on bone and all the different side dishes that go with that.”

As guests enjoy their dinner, they will be able to enjoy the exotic performance of a belly dancer, who will perform through dinner. Once her performance is done, guests can try their own version of belly dancing while a

DJ plays until 10 p.m.

“For those who want to enjoy a cigar or hookah, we have organized a flamenco two-piece band to play on the terrace from 8 p.m.,” said Fazeli. “Folks can enjoy, while listening to the music, sipping on wine, and sitting under the stars.”

This exotic event is indicative of the events held at Fazeli Cellars Winery. Past events have always been a blast for those who enjoy, and it’s clear that Fazeli Cellars wants its guests to have a great time while enjoying great food and wine.

“I am extremely pleased with how things are going,” said Fazeli. “More and more locals are

coming, and folks from all over Southern California visit us. They see our reputation on social media, where others make comments and share their experiences. It’s truly word of mouth that is getting us on the map, and contributes to our growth. Anyone who attends one of our parties knows how much fun we have.”

The Mobarak Celebration at Fazeli Cellars Winery will be held on Sept. 24 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Fazeli Cellars Winery is located at 37320 De Portola Rd., Temecula.

Wine Country Tourism District wins Board approval RIVERSIDE – The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved formation of the Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District Sept. 13, which will generate revenue for promotional campaigns to attract more visitors to southwest Riverside County for the benefit of vintners and other businesses.

“We’ve come a long way,” said Supervisor Chuck Washington, whose Third District encompasses

Open 9/20 through 9/30 2-6pm Mon, Tues, Weds 12-6pm Thursday 2-7pm Friday 12-6pm Saturday 11am-6pm Sunday 12-6pm

the Temecula Valley. “This is a clean industry that is generating a lot of business, as well as tax revenue.”

The marketing district, analogous to a business improvement district under state law, was conceived by the nonprofit Visit Temecula Valley, which will oversee future public outreach and media campaigns.

Development Agency documents, all lodge proprietors within the boundaries of county-designated wine country – currently 31 – will be required to set aside 2 percent of gross receipts from overnight stays and dedicate that revenue to Visit Temecula Valley’s marketing efforts.

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

Supervisor Kevin Jeffries noted that the district will maintain an “opt-out” provision, allowing hoteliers who don›t want to participate to forgo payments in support of the district.

“That’s what brought me on board with this,” Jeffries said. “It’s as fair as you can get. There’s no forced taxation.”

It’s estimated the district will generate roughly $188,000 annually.

Visit Temecula Valley spokeswoman Kimberly Adams told the board that wine country generates upwards of $696 million in economic activity annually, generating $21 million in state and local tax receipts.

“That’s roughly the same impact as March Air Reserve Base, which we consider an economic icon,” Supervisor Marion Ashley said.

“And you’re just getting started.

This is going to be enormous” Adams said forming the district took nearly a decade.

“We’ve not had anybody say they’re not in favor of it,” she told the board.

Gershon Bachus Vintners offers guests midweek fun Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERRMEDIA.COM

On the weekends, it’s no surprise that Temecula’s wine country is full of folks looking to relax with family and friends while trying some of the region’s best tasting wines. However, at Gershon Bachus, the fun doesn’t end just because the weekend does.

Currently, Gershon Bachus is full into harvest, and will keep its doors open throughout the week for the month of September. According to Christina Falik, who owns Gershon Bachus with her husband Ken, they hope to stay open in October as well.

That means that folks who need to get away for a weeknight can do so without leaving the area, and come back home after an afternoon of relaxation and fun, ready to face whatever the week has in store.

Gershon Bachus takes pride in providing a relaxed atmosphere for wine tasting, regardless of when guests choose to come.

The goal of the winery is to have guests truly unwind and relax while wine tasting, so that means on a busy day, it’s still not crowded in the tasting room.

But with tastings available every day of the week, individuals can make an escape to Temecula wine country at nearly any time and unwind with a glass of Gershon Bachus’ fine wine. Guests can try six varietals per tasting, and every guest can feel confident knowing that whoever pours the wine is knowledgeable. Throughout the whole process, Gershon Bachus guests will be able to discuss the wine that they are enjoying, which allows for a fuller understanding of the complexities of the wine.

Taking a stroll through the winery’s patios, gardens and hillside is the most relaxing way to spend an afternoon. By taking an afternoon to sip wine with friends after work, one can melt away the stresses and anxieties that can pile up throughout the workweek.

Hours for Gershon Bachus are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Guests are asked

to check the winery’s website for closures for special events on the weekends. Groups of friends can come and enjoy their afternoons, though reservations are required for parties of six or more. Reservations are also required for winery tours.

As a way to prepare for the holidays, Gershon Bachus will host an 80s-themed Christmas Clique party for its wine club members on Dec. 3.

Gershon Bachus Vintners is located at 37750 De Portola Rd., Temecula. For more information about the winery, call 1 (877) I-LUV-GBV (1-877-458-8428), email info@gershonbachus.com, or go to www.gershonbachus. com.

Rubio’s makes its way to Menifee with new location

Fruit punches revisited Andrea Verdin aestrada@reedermedia.com Rubio’s is located at 30091 Haun Road in Menifee. The restaurant is one of many recent amenities to Menifee’s Town Center Marketplace.

Menifee’s newest restaurant features a welcoming and spacious interior for tasting great Mexican-style seafood entrees. Families can enjoy dining in together or get their food to-go.

Come out to Rubio’s to taste their signature, original fish tacos. Other Mexican and sea food options are available, including tacos, burritos and more.

T

his past weekend, I had the opportunity to try amazing Latin-inspired dishes at the Latin Food Fest in San Diego. A lot of the food flavors were very familiar to me, as I’ve grown up with Mexican food being my staple diet.

However, there were a few foods and drinks that I had been completely unfamiliar with. Some of the best flavors weren’t in the foods, but in the refreshing drinks that were offered. One such was the tropical punches and juices offered by Cocina 35, one of the restaurants representing Latin American flavors at the festival.

Three drinks stood out as brand new flavors that I couldn’t wait to try and make at home. These are ideal drinks for an afternoon out in the sun, whether folks are hanging out with family, or one is having a Latin food night with friends. The flavors are reminiscent of drinks that some might be familiar with, but with a Latin twist.

La verde – The green machine (2 servings) This refreshing drink may make some do a double take when they see its vibrant green color, but the flavors are perfect for cooling off. The pear adds a sweetness to this otherwise light drink, which is best served very cold with ice.

Ingredients: 1 pear 2 celery stalks 1 cup water Juice of 1/2 lemon 1 cucumber, peeled and cored Put all ingredients into the blender and liquefy until all ingredients are a smooth consistency.

Strain the juice in a strainer. Refrigerate the drink until it is at the preferred coldness. Enjoy with a glass of ice. This combination of sweet and spicy will make you the hit of any summer party.

Mangoneada – fabulously fruity flavors (2 servings) This drink has a more familiar taste than that of the previous

found to save time on peeling and seeding. This drink is tasty, light and, when the strawberries are added, has a beautiful color.

Ingredients 1 guanabana (or box of condensed juice) ½ cup of coconut milk 1 tablespoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon honey 15 large strawberries cut into slices

Combine the mango chunks and water in a blender until smooth. Strain drink into pitcher, then stir in lime juice and agave to taste. In a blender, combine mango and water and blend until smooth. Before serving drinks, rim glasses with Tajin powder.

Pour drinks, then drizzle with chamoy. Garnish with lime.

Peel the guanabana carefully, making sure to remove all of the black seeds. Blend the guanabana with the coconut milk, then strain into a pitcher. This mixture will be thick, so use a spoon to mix the liquid as it strains. Add the nutmeg, vanilla and honey to the mixture and stir. Take the strawberry slices and allow them to float in the rest of the mixture as it cools in the refrigerator. Serve over ice.

Guanabana juice with strawberries – a cool Caribbean drink This drink might seem the most exotic, but its flavors are surprisingly the most familiar. The guanabana (also known as soursop) can be found in Latin food stores, and the condensed juice can be

Temecula music prodigy of legendary bassist takes talent to Europe

Local singer Joanna Pearl has both her hometown of Temecula’s respect, as well as the world’s for being considered the prodigy of bassist legend Andy Fraser.

Andy Fraser, former bassist of Free, introduces local singer Joanna Pearl to the crowd as “the best singer I’ve ever heard.”

Joanna Pearl’s preferred music style is pop rock soul, and she has already released a few singles and an album. Pearl prefers performing live, however.

Joanna Pearl prepares to sing with the British-based Saiichi Suiyama Band at this year’s Weyfest, Aug. 20.

Jacob Preal JPREAL@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Joanna Pearl was able to sing with Tokyo-born, British-based guitarist Saiichi Suiyama at this year’s Weyfest, Aug. 20.

Joanna Pearl took a tour of Sky Studios, a large TV company in the U.K. and Europe, while on her European tour.

“

I placed an ad in the business directory in both Village News and Valley News. I have had many calls for concrete work, and a couple big jobs in Fallbrook and one big one in Temecula. I am very happy with the results and am now doing a few display ads too.

or email sales@reedermedia.com to advertise.

The thump of steady beats and the feint echo of a lyrical voice was drowned out in the walls of the Marriott when a star was born.

Joanna Pearl, with the musical respect of her humble home in Temecula, was urged to demonstrate her vocal talent by friend Cyrene Jagger, who would one day become part of her music management team. Pearl let her lyrical soul fill the hallway, just as legendary bassist Andy Fraser and a group from the United Kingdom’s Headliner magazine rounded the corner.

They stopped talking in stunned silence. The former bassist for the band “Free” put his arm around Pearl. “You’re so fired,” he said.

That single moment would eventually spawn a MSET – a “mini summer euro tour” – and global recognition for Pearl, simply because of the single association with a world-famous music star that coincidentally shared her hometown.

Fraser, most known for composing “All Right Now” as the bassist of Free, would soon go on to introduce Pearl to the crowd of his Grammy after-party as “the best singer I’ve ever heard.” So enthralled with Pearl’s singing was Fraser, he gave her free reign to perform his music any way she wanted and even had plans to sign her to a label. This performance however, would be Fraser’s last when he died soon after at the age of 62.

“I remember the last thing Andy said to me was, he dropped me off at my house, and he just said thank you, for coming with him and all that,” she said, “and that was the last time I spoke to him and then he passed in March that year.”

The influence he has had on Pearl remains a source of motivation to her career as a singer. She remembers Fraser as a man that dressed simply despite his fame and encouraged her by complimenting her vocal talent. The fond connection they had with one another would result in global recognition, as the world looked to Pearl as Fraser’s prodigy. It did not take long for Jagger to find a new venue for Pearl: “Weyfest” in the United Kingdom.

Pearl saw the opportunity to travel and sing live as something too good to pass up. She quickly found herself on an airplane and a short time later navigating the streets of London by her lonesome.

This situation inspired the theme for her next album: being an independent woman. Pearl more than proved her worth as both an individual and a singer on her journey, finding herself equally nervous to

learn how to drive on the left side of the road as she was to get onstage at the European Weyfest to perform with Saiichi Sugiyama Band. They were a whole new cast of colorful characters that she had never met before.

“It was so invigorating on a creative level,” said Pearl of her trip. “I didn’t get to practice with the band… I only got two tiny rehearsals with the band, I’ve never met them before, and it’s something that I noticed with musicians, it’s just like ‘oh you do music?’ and you’re just automatically family.”

Though her trip was centered around Weyfest and her passion for music, she found herself exploring Europe and visiting friends and family and performing at a wedding for one of her closest friends, Denmark singing sensation Simone Egeriis. Visiting only the U.K., Germany and Denmark this time around, Pearl said she would like to go on longer tours in the future, as her music career continues to take off.

Pearl’s musical talent was initially recognized in Temecula when she received the Adult Contemporary of the Year Award from the Temecula Valley Music Awards.

She now is on the board for the

TVMA. She continues to work with the board to bring music to schools in the local area, in order to combat cuts made to what she believes to be an important outlet for children.

She believes music is an exceptional way to give back to the community. In 2014, Pearl released an EP entitled “Sensitive Material.”

She donated some of the EP’s profit to Michelle’s Place and Susan G. Komen after her grandmother died from breast cancer. Pearl continues to use her music not only for her exploration of her greatest passion, but also to help build a stronger community.

“Whatever I can do to help the community or however to give back with music,” she said. “It’s a big circle.”

Pearl believes feelings and emotions to be the most important elements to music. Declaring her style to be pop rock soul, Pearl draws on life itself to paint vivid, impassioned images from the gravity of her lyrics. She believes in writing and singing that makes you feel something, like the sincerity she found in Fraser’s character.

“It always has to come from the heart,” she said.

Ma and Paw Kennel teach dogs how to avoid snake bites TEMECULA – Ma and Paw Kennel, of Simi Valley, is presenting a dog training course on rattlesnake avoidance, featuring live rattlesnakes that have been disabled from biting. The course will take place in Temecula on Sept. 25.

Professional dog trainer and owner of Ma and Paw Kennel Gina Gables will lead the course with biologist Steve Gardner, who has more than 30 years of experience studying the behavior and ecology of rattlesnakes and other reptiles.

Each dog will receive an individual training session. Live rattlesnakes that have had their mouths banded shut to prevent them from biting will provide the stimuli as Gables and Gardner train the dog using positive and negative reinforcement techniques.

“Our first priority is the comfort and safety of all involved. This includes your dogs, the humans and

the snakes as well.” said Gables.

Gables specializes in obedience training and problem-behavior

modification with dogs. In the snake avoidance course, Gables trains every dog to recognize and

avoid the scent, sound and sight of rattlesnakes.

“Uniquely, we have 3 options of devices available allowing us to humanely and effectively train dog’s with temperaments ranging from the most tenacious to the highly sensitive as well as puppies of any age,” said Gables. The training will take place in a controlled environment, using a remote training collar system adjusted to each dogs’ individual temperament, personality and physical response characteristics.

The devices deliver an uncomfortable stimulus when the dog has alerted to the presence of the snake, whether it be by smell, sound or sight. “We do this so the dog will be able to avoid an encounter with a rattlesnake if any of these clues to a rattlesnake’s presence are available individually even if the other clues aren’t present,” explained Gables.

“For instance, your dog may be downwind of the rattlesnake and can smell it, but is not able to see it; and the snake – not being aware of the dog’s presence – may not be giving a warning rattle.”

“The dog, by avoiding just the smell, would avoid the rattlesnake.

If the owner is observant of the dog’s behavior, he or she can possibly prevent themselves or others from being bitten as well,” said Gables. By taking part in this training, the dog as well as the owner may avoid the pain and distress caused by a rattlesnake bite.

The course costs $125 for the initial training and $90 for the annual refresher training. Reservations required; space is limited. For more information or to register online, visit www.MAnPAW.com or call (805) 523-3432.

But by then, Brownie Bear’s hold period at the shelter had already expired. Brownie Bear was not microchipped, unfortunately. A microchip extends a pet’s hold time and, of course, makes pet reunions easier and more likely if the chip’s information is current.

On Sept. 1, Big and Small Rescue Society, based out of Vancouver, British Colombia, rescued the sweet dog, and off the dog traveled up north with other rescued pets from Southern California.

On Sept. 2, Candy Weil, a Riverside County Animal Services

employee at the San Jacinto shelter, received a call from dog owner Van Zandt. He told Weil the dog had been a family pet since its birth, but she told him the dog was already gone. Van Zandt pleaded with Weil to see if there was any way the dog could be returned. Weil did not promise anything, but said she would do everything she could.

Brownie Bear, whose name actually was changed to “Tomato”

by Big and Small Rescue Society, returned to the San Jacinto shelter Tuesday and was reunited with his owner.

Brownie Bear boomerangs back to IE SAN JACINTO – A stray dog, a lost-pet flier, a cruise vacation, a thoughtful construction worker, a very kind rescue group organization and a tiny dog returned from Vancouver: all these moving parts added up to a strange, but happy reunion.

The reunion between a Pomeranian and his owners happened Tuesday at the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus.

Brownie Bear went missing on Aug. 22, right before the owners were heading away on a cruise vacation. The owners frantically placed fliers all over town, and one of those fliers was seen by a construction worker. That same

worker remembered seeing the tiny dog near the construction site at 29061 Newport Road in Menifee where he and his colleagues have been working.

An animal control officer with Animal Friends of the Valleys had already scooped up the dog and transported him to the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus. All Menifee stray pets are transported to Riverside County’s shelter in San Jacinto.

Nonetheless, the conscientious construction worker called Brownie Bear’s owner, Brian Van Zandt and informed the distraught pet owner that he should contact the local animal shelter.

Brownie Bear was welcomed home Tuesday after quite an adventure, including a trip to Vancouver, Canada.

second-grade teacher at Lisa J. Mails Elementary School in Murrieta. She moved from Murrieta to Hemet approximately 12 years ago.

She was raised in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and moved from Puerto Rico to Murrieta.

Miller won the donated award from Michael Seewald Galleries for her ballet photo “A Partnership,” which features a man with one foot on the ground and one on his toes and a woman with one foot on her toes and one in the air. The photo did not place in the Black and White – People category, nor did Miller’s “The Flour Ballet” in which the ballerina is in the air with a flour cloud in the background.

Chip Morton from Menifee took both first and second in the Black and White – Scenic class. “Secret Beach” is rocks surrounded by water. “Snow Day” is snow covering a tree with a branch on the ground and other trees in the background.

Morton’s other three paintings in the exhibit all earned honorable mention status. Two of those were in the Color Scenic – Summer class: “Cactus Garden Storm” has cacti in the foreground with storm clouds above and “Summer Storm” is a desert. Morton’s honorable mention Color – Waterscapes, Seascapes, Waterfalls, Water Details, Etc. entry is called “Davenport Pier” and is a photo of pier remnants.

Temecula’s Anita Ross had 13 accepted photos. Two of those won second place: “The Roots of Loneliness” is a tree with roots exposed and was in the Color Nature – All Other Plants and Trees class and “The Race” features swine and was in the Color Nature – Wild Animals – Mammals competition. Ross received nine honorable mention awards. Five of those honorable mention photos were in the Color Nature – Wild Animals – Birds category: “Forging Ahead” is a bird on water, “Fierce Predator” is a bird on a branch, “Captivating Crowned Crane” is a crane, “The Stare Down” is a bird’s face and “The Hunter” is a bird in the air.

Ross had four honorable mention photos in the Color Nature – Wild Animals – Mammals class: “Colorful Gaze” is a tiger, “Bonobo Baby Talk” is a primate on top of a smaller primate, “The Magnificent One” is a lion and “Devotion” is a

big tiger with a little tiger. Ross had two accepted Color Nature – Wild Animals – Birds entries which did not place: “Serenity” is a bird on the water and “A Chorus Line” is three birds just above water.

Lucas Haynes of Temecula took third place in the Still Life category for “Armageddon,” which is a photo of a crumpled book. Haynes received honorable mention in the Black and White – Scenic class for “White House and a Bird,” which is a bird on a post of a former structure in water, and added an honorable mention in the Black and White – Architecture or Cityscapes class for “Disney Concert Hall II,” which is a corner of the building.

Haynes also entered “Domino,” which has black dots and a white background, and that photograph was accepted for the exhibit but did not place in the Abstract class.

Rogers had two photos which were accepted but did not place in the Underwater competition.

“Ice Cave Dance” is a dancer and “Through the Looking Glass” is a woman looking at her reflection.

Marc Rivera of Temecula had two Color – People photos which were accepted but did not place.

“Sudden Serenity” is a crouching woman standing on her toes in sand and “Unrestrained” is a man on the sand with his arms up, one leg kneeling, and his other leg standing on his toes.

Kyle Ward of Temecula did not place in the Color Scenic – Summer class for “La Jolla Cove,” which includes a building, the shore and water, nor in the Film and Alternative Processes category for “Friendship,” which captured several people by a wooden fence.

Shannon Hobbs of Winchester entered “Tower Bridge, Lost in the Fog” in the Color – Architecture or Cityscapes category. The front of a bridge and streetlights on the near side of the bridge are visible in the photo, although the back of the bridge is obscured.

Dean Pollard of Temecula did not place in the Sports category with “High Voltage,” which entails a cheerleader toss.

Carissa Schuman of Temecula did not place in the Color Nature – Animals: Insects, Reptiles, Amphibians, and Aquarium Sea Life category for “Indian Rock Python,” which is a python on a branch.

Senior population boom means more local jobs HEMET – As America’s aging population grows, a local company is gearing up to meet the expected need for services. The Home Instead Senior Care® office serving Riverside County anticipates adding approximately 25 professional CAREGiversSM to their staff by the end of 2016.

By 2050, it is predicted that the senior population will more than double from the 2010 census numbers, with a projected estimate of 88.5 million people aged 65 or older. As these seniors age, they often need help with their daily activities. In fact, about 29 percent

of the U.S. population reports that it currently spends an average of 20 hours per week providing care for a chronically ill, disabled or aging loved one.

The demand for professional caregivers will continue to grow as they are an important component of the care continuum for seniors – helping seniors age safely in their homes while lightening the load for their family members.

“Whether a senior just needs some help running errands and doing some light cooking and cleaning, or they need round-theclock care, having a professional

CAREGiver can make a huge difference in the life of a senior and their family members,” says Jason Baker, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Hemet. “The type of person who typically excels in this industry is compassionate and enjoys helping others. Those are the main requirement for the job. Beyond that, they could be a recent graduate, someone between jobs or someone who just wants to give back. It’s really a broad range.”

Andrea Hunt, who has been a Home Instead CAREGiver for eight years, says that one of the

things she likes about her job is the sense of personal fulfillment.

“It is fulfilling to know that I can make someone’s day easier, give them a hand to hold, an ear to listen and most importantly, comfort,” she says. “Forming friendships with clients and gaining their trust is so rewarding, and that is why I do what I do.”

The home care jobs that are available do not require prior training. Rather, newly hired individuals participate in the Home Instead CAREGiver training program to equip them with all the knowledge they need to get started. CAREGiv-

ers also have the opportunity to receive additional training throughout their careers in such areas as Alzheimer’s care.

“We keep up on all of the latest news and industry standards in home care,” says Baker. “And our training program helps ensure our CAREGivers are getting the information they need to better support seniors and their families.”

Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore welcomes Kim Cousins as 20162017 club president

Kim Joseph Cousins will serve as the 2016-2017 club president of the Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore.

LAKE ELSINORE – Kim Joseph Cousins has been a Rotarian since 2003 serving as chair of many club programs including the annual golf tournament fundraiser, registrar of the annual Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) campouts and as the club Foundation chair. This year he is stepping up as club president and hopes to increase club size by welcoming additional community leaders to the club.

A Lake Elsinore resident since 1990, Kim Cousins grew up in a family that served their community.

“Our club’s accomplishments

are great, we are one of the most active clubs in Rotary District 5330 which has 60 clubs in southern California,” he said. “My favorite Rotary programs are the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) for high school juniors and the annual senior luncheon which we co-sponsor with Cops for Kids.

We hand pick the students who attend camp. When the students return from RYLA camp they are excited, happy, motivated to seek success in their lives. They take the inspiration back to school and make positive changes in their lives. Our club sends the most students in the

District because we see the positive results first-hand and the youth in our community are a top priority.”

The Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore annually sponsors seven community outreach programs, including HOPE food contributions, the annual senior luncheon and planning and manpower for the Clean Extreme program. Additionally, the club supports 11 youth programs including sending over 35 students to leadership camps, high school speech and music competitions, vocational job shadow, literacy programs and mentorship programs. The club also spon-

sors four international programs supporting cleft pallet surgeries in Mexico and polio eradication world-wide.

The Rotary Club of Lake Elsinore meets on Wednesday mornings at 7:00 a.m. at the Ortega Conference Center at 520 Chaney St. in Lake Elsinore. An evening extension club meets at 6:30 p.m. the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Pins N Pockets Bowling Center & Entrainment Center in Lake Elsinore. For information about Rotary programs, you can log onto www.lakeelsinorerotary.org or you can call (951) 226-5127.

The San Jacinto chapter of National Alliance on Mental Illness was given $2,000 to cover some costs of the annual NAMI walk at Diamond Valley Lake which raises funds for educational classes for citizens accused of mental illness and their families.

The Lake Elsinore branch of the National Association of Colored People received $1,500 to support the Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scientific Olympics program intended to encourage academic and cultural achievement for African-American students.

Community Outreach Ministry, which is in Wildomar, will use $1,000 for the Angel Tree Christmas event which provides food and clothing to children whose parents

are incarcerated. Professional Women’s Roundtable received $1,000 which will help the Murrieta organization provide scholarship assistance for young women and also help the group hold its Leadership in Excellence Expo event.

13 entities given CID funds Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Aug. 23 meeting of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors included the appropriation of Community Improvement Designation funds to 13 local entities.

The Rotary Club of Murrieta was given $5,000 for the 2016 Murrieta Field of Honor, which honors veterans and educates citizens about American history. A $5,000 grant to the City of Hemet will help sponsor the Hemet Christmas Parade. The Temecula-based California Inland

Empire Council of the Boy Scouts of America was provided with $4,000 to help fund camperships so that Boy Scouts or Cub Scouts with financial support needs can attend a week-long summer camp.

The Idyllwild Association of Realtors had been given a $3,000 Place Maker Micro grant from the National Association of Realtors to provide outside equipment for the Idyllwild Town Hall Playground, and the county supervisors added $3,000 of CID funds for that project. The $3,000 provided to the Hemet Community Pantry will be

used for food supplies and to assist senior citizens with utility bill payments.

All From the Heart, a Temecula organization, was allocated $2,500 for the support of active duty and veteran families who will have Christmas needs. The $2,500 funding for the Idyllwild Arts Foundation will help cover expenses of the organization’s Jazz in the Pines fundraiser which provides scholarships to local students. Hospice of the Valleys, which is located in Murrieta, was awarded $2,500 to help cover the costs of medication delivery, durable medical equipment, and patient visits by nurses and social workers, and the money can also be used for the organization’s main fundraiser whose proceeds are used to pay for hospice activities.

A $2,000 CID grant will assist

Each county supervisor has a discretionary Community Improvement Designation budget which can be allocated to non-profit organizations, public agencies or county departments, or other community organizations with programs which serve the social needs of the county’s population. The recommendations must be ratified by a majority of the Board of Supervisors. The Third District funds allocated August 23 were from the budget of Supervisor Chuck Washington, and the recommendations had the support of all four of his colleagues.

Supervisors approve final map and lien contracts for Winchester subdivisions Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved final maps and lien contracts for two Sr Conestoga LLC, developments off of Domenigoni Parkway in Winchester.

One 5-0 vote Aug. 23 approved the final map and lien agreement for a 30.33-acre subdivision between

Beeler Road and Adams Street which will create 124 residential lots, three water quality basin lots, and one open space lot. The other 5-0 vote that day approved the final map and lien contract for a 32.54-acre tract between Adams Street and Rice Road which will be subdivided into 100 residential lots, three open space lots, three water quality basin lots, and one park lot.

A tentative parcel map becomes a final map after all conditions of the tentative map, other than those for which permits cannot be issued until a final map is recorded, are fulfilled. The tentative map for the lots between Beeler Road and Adams Street was approved by the county supervisors in April 2004, and the tentative map for the subdivision between Adams Street

and Rice Road was approved by the supervisors in January 2006.

The conditions of a final map include secured agreements to ensure that the infrastructure will be built and that payment for labor and materials used to build the infrastructure will be made. The secured agreements may be in the form of a performance bond, but the developer also has the option

of utilizing a lien contract which transfers the property to a holding company and ensures that the property is not divided and that no individual lots are sold. Prior to the actual construction the ownership must submit security and pay deposits and fees sufficient to cover the actual cost of constructing the required public improvements.

Insert leaves and berries to accent pumpkins and fill in any empty spaces.

What your real estate agent should tell you when listing your home Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Many homeowners today are optimistic about the potential profit they will realize when they sell their home. Headlines have reported market improvements to the housing market for some time, and sellers are gearing up to cash in on those increases.

The downside is these expectations may lead to a major disappointment. It’s more critical than ever to have a local agent that understands the local real estate market and can educate their clients on the following six very important topics The market dictates the price – not the seller and not the real estate agent Nearly every homeowner believes that their home is special and one of the best in the entire neighborhood, and should therefore be priced higher than other comparable homes currently being sold.

Knowing the competition is critical to effectively pricing a home. Your agent should be able to show you on paper where your home stacks up to the completion. However, not everyone really gets it by looking at values on a spreadsheet. If this is you, then have your agent take you on a tour of the neighborhood and pre view each comparative home on the market.

Once you, as the seller, have a chance to see what money will buy in the current market, you should have a better idea of where your home should be priced.

Set the stage--staging matters Sure, you live in a beautiful home and everyone compliments

you on your decorating skills. This does not give you a pass at staging. Bring in an independent third party who will depersonalize and declutter the living space so that it shows its best under the brightest of lights.

Have you ever toured model homes? They all look inviting and lived in yet there are never any personal items that will identify the occupants of the home other than a

boys or girls room.

Create a plan with a checklist so that for every open house or showing you can go through the home and create the desired image.

You have to remember the entire purpose of staging is to allow the potential buyer to see themselves living in your home and call it theirs.

Don’t forget that staging includes Curb Appeal too.

Make a home offer they can’t refuse home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards. While buyers must weigh such variables when making their offers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any inflammatory remarks during the negotiation process. Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they don’t like.

Don’t delay an inspection. When a property is drawing significant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection.

Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sellers who want to sell their homes as quickly as possible.

Buyers should have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making their offer.

Include an escalation clause.

When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause. Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase their initial offer by a predetermined amount to exceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered

Serious buyers are shopping 365 days a year Don’t fall into the trap thinking that buyers are only ‘out there’ on certain days of the week and only during certain seasons of the year. Escrows are opened and closed every day – including some holidays.

Your agent should have a marketing plan that covers all of the holidays for the next six months, if they want a six-month listing.

While spring and summer are traditionally the hottest selling seasons locally, they also have the most competition with lots of inventory for sale, which means lots of options for the buyers who are shopping for homes.

Never forget that all real estate is local, your agent should be too The news is full of headlines reporting on the real estate market, as a whole. But who really knows what’s going on in your neighborhood? Is it an agent from San Diego? Los Angeles? Orange County? I think not. It’s an agent who lives locally and works locally. It’s a real estate agent who has a vested interest in the community and understands its quality of life and everything about the community.

There are many common misconceptions about real estate and market trends. To start yourself on a path to a successful sale, make sure that your local real estate agent understands and explains to you what you need to know when listing your home for sale.

the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers a buyer really wants the house while keeping potential buyers’ hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive.

Prospective home buyers may find themselves in some stiff competition upon finding their dream homes. These few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buying their ideal homes.

Competitive home buying requires strategy and experience.

8 12

TEMECULA – Buying a home can be very competitive. A wellmaintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today’s buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can’t refuse.

Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept.

Get preapproved for a mortgage.

Sellers’ patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers. Preapproval can speed up the selling process, as buyers won’t need to secure financing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose financing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans.

Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase. Sellers won’t want to hear about how ugly a

Fix it before you list it Any home repairs that have been on the ‘Honey Do’ list need to be done before you ever allow any prospective buyer in for a preview.

Nearly all home repairs have a minimal cost that a potential homebuyer will perceive as much more expensive and inconvenient if not taken care of first. A buyer will typically compute the cost as a negative which will be deducted from the asking price when structuring an offer. Therefore, it is much more cost effective to take care of these minor issues up front.

There are a number of renovations that can be made that will add even more value to your home and increase the desirability of it to even more buyers. For starters, consider adding a fresh coat of paint inside and/or outside. New flooring. Consider replacing the windows and exterior doors.

Incentives are a great motivator There are a number of ways to offer an incentive to the buyer. Perhaps one of the most common that is almost taken for granted today is offering a one-year home warranty. This takes the concern of any hidden expenses for deferred maintenance that may go uncovered during inspections. No one likes those kind of surprises.

Other incentives that will help differentiate your listing from others on the market is to offer to pay some of the buyers closing costs, HOA fees for a year or even to buy down their interest rate on their home loan.

While technically not a buyer’s incentive, many sellers will offer a broker’s incentive of extra cash above the commission if they can bring a buyer who can close be a specified date. Realize that brokers and agents sift through hundreds, if not thousands, of listings and finding the ones that pay the most just may end up on the short list of homes to show.

Preparing your fireplace or stove for the season

Prepare fireplaces, chimneys and heating stoves for another season of regular use.

Fireplaces and wood-burning stoves not only can be beautiful focal points within a home, but they also provide an additional source of heat and can be used to keep rooms or entire homes comfortable without the need for additional and

potentially costly heating sources.

Just like more modern home heating systems, stoves and fireplaces need to be maintained, and that maintenance includes readying them before winter when they are used more heavily. Ensuring a fire-

place or stove is in good working order helps to guarantee efficiency of use and safety during the winter months.

Open-flame heating sources carry with them certain risks. The National Fire Protection Association states that, between 2009-2013, American fire departments responded to 56,000 home structure fires that involved heating equipment. The NFPA notes that the leading factor contributing to home-heating fires is a failure to keep things clean, principally from solid-fueled heating equipment. The following are a handful of ways to stay safe as you get ready for another cozy season around the fire.

Start with the chimney. Begin by having your chimney thoroughly cleaned and inspected. Creosote can build up inside of the chimney.

Creosote is highly flammable and becomes more difficult and expensive to clean the longer it builds up inside your flue lining. In addition, animals may have created nest

inside of the chimney since the last time the fireplace was used. A professional chimney sweep should be hired in this situation. He or she will be able to effectively clean the chimney in a manner that is the least messy and disruptive to residents.

Install or check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Operational alarms are essential to preventing injury or death resulting from smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation. Such detectors are inexpensive safeguards that should be installed on every floor of the house. Batteries should be replaced every six months, and the alarms themselves should be changed every five to 10 years.

Inspect the chimney from outdoors as well. Inspect the mortar around any bricks in the chimney and surrounding areas for cracks.

If left unaddressed, these can cause dangerous fires. If there are serious cracks, a professional may need to make repairs or the chimney may need to be replaced. You also can

have the chimney capped with a screen to keep animals and debris from entering.

Inspect the damper. A damper is a valve or plate that stops or regulates the flow of air inside a chimney. It should be checked before the first use of a stove or fireplace so homeowners can be certain it opens and closes smoothly.

Clear out flammable items. Move flammable items away from the front of a fireplace or stove. Be sure curtains or other home furnishings are far enough away that they will not catch fire from any errant sparks or flames.

Order wood now. Be sure there is plenty of wood for the season. Ask a wood supplier to estimate just how much will be needed, and doublecheck that the wood will arrive in time for the start of the season.

By preparing for fireplace and wood stove use now, homeowners can ensure their winters are comfortable and safe.

Simplify fall leaf cleanup TEMECULA – Apple pie, pumpkins and blooming chrysanthemums are symbols of autumn. But nothing signals the arrival of fall more than the millions of leaves that begin to cascade from the trees as the temperatures dip.

Many people feel nothing is more beautiful than the yellow, red, purple, and orange leaves that coat neighborhoods and countrysides each fall. But in spite of their beauty, leaves might be a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing the growing piles of them from their lawns. Those with large oak and maple trees in front of their homes understand the seemingly endless work of leaf removal.

As the days begin to grow shorter and cooler, these changes trigger a hormone release in trees, prompting them to drop their leaves. This chemical message causes the formation of abscission cells where the leaf stem meets the branch, say botanists at the Missouri Botanical Garden. So rather than merely

dropping off of trees when the wind blows, the leaves actually fall off deliberately.

Left untouched, fallen leaves can contribute to lawn problems such as poor aeration, mold growth and moisture issues. Leaves also can cause staining on driveways and walkways. Prompt removal can help prevent any problems. To make faster and easier work of leaf removal, keep these tips in mind.

Mow over thin leaf coverage. If only a few leaves have fallen, use a mulching mower to shred the leaves until they are small enough that they won’t suffocate the lawn.

The small pieces will decompose in the lawn, reintroducing nutrients as a result.

Use an ergonomic leaf rake.

Ergonomic rakes can prevent back and arm pain, much in the way that ergonomic shovels do when shoveling snow.

Invest in a quality leaf blower.

Using a rake is good exercise, but homeowners with large properties

might want to use a leaf blower.

These machines can dislodge leaves from bushes and hard-toreach crevices, and they work faster than rakes.

Use a tarp. Rake or blow leaves onto a tarp and then drag the tarp to the curbside or to the back of a truck for proper disposal. Special leaf scoopers enable you to grab more leaves if they need to be picked up and transported. Otherwise, you can use the covers from two garbage pails to achieve a similar effect.

Work with the wind. Rake in the direction the wind is blowing and downhill if your property slopes.

This way it will be easier on you, and you won’t be working against Mother Nature.

Spread out the job. Do not attempt to remove all fallen leaves in a single day. Schedule a few cleaning days during the season to make lighter work of the job than if you tried to do it all at once. Keep in mind that leaves will continue

Leaves can be a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing the growing piles from their lawns.

to fall throughout the season and you may need to spend a few days removing leaves from your yard.

Removing leaves is a large part

of fall home maintenance. Employ these tips to make this task less strenuous.
