Hundreds of women attend 10th annual Women in Business event at Southcoast Winery Resort & Spa Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Women in Business event sold out for the fourth consecutive year. Over 350 women and 51 vendors participated in this year’s event held Sept. 8 at South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. This year’s theme was “Living in Your Vision” and featured four expert speakers who educated and inspired with their presentations.

This is the 10th year for the conference event. According to Temecula Chamber President/CEO Alice Sullivan, this event was a result of a survey of their membership over 10 years ago. Originally named Business Women Advocates, the

aim was “to provide an arena for women to network with each other, find resources, mentor others and receive additional education and support. This group has offered new opportunities, connections and resources for women in business.”

The first speaker was Karissa Harrison, pastor of Family Life & Women’s Ministries at Cornerstone Community Church. She encouraged women to, “Live in Your Vision Instead of Your Reality.”

“Your reality of today is not glamorous, but your vision is,” said Harrison, “Choose to operate from your imagination instead of your memory.” She went on to describe the need to activate both parts of the

Murrieta City Councilman donates protective vests to Animal Control officers WILDOMAR – Animal control officers of Animal Friends of the Valleys are feeling a bit safer as they pursue their daily duties throughout the communities thanks to the generosity of Murrieta City Councilman Jonathan Ingram.

A total of nine custom fitted vests were presented to the AFV officers for use in the field at briefing Monday, Sept. 12, at the AFV Shelter facility in Wildomar and came as a total surprise to the officers present. “We wanted it to be a surprise” said Mo Middleton, ACO Supervisor for the department It started with the question of whether local Police departments might consider donating used protective vests for use by Animal Control Officers. AFV Fund Raising Coordinator, Tiffani Young then asked Ingram if he might be able to help in determining if there were possible sponsors available to assist in acquiring the gear.

As a result, given his love for animals and with a deep respect for those individuals serving in uniform, he eventually made the decision

Hemet City Council approves new 3-year employee MOU Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Hemet City Council has signed off on a Memorandum of Understating with the non-safety unit of the Service Employees International Union that will provide no general salary increase to its city workers outside of regular step raises starting July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2019.

The union representatives worked out the MOU with the city and with a few reported minor changes are ready to sign off with in for the next three years. The city, because of its financial position, has been unable to grant raises to its staff in recent contract years.

Meanwhile the city staff, on the direction of the City Council during their Sept. 13 meeting, were asked to explore other pension and retirement options for the city’s

employees instead of their current contract with California State Employees Retirement System to help bring its budget into balance.

The city’s finance department reported paying out $9,910,632.90 in warrant registers dated Aug. 8.

The payouts included payrolls for July and August up until Sept. 1 totaling about $786,238.

Councilmember Linda Krupa asked where the other $7.86 million in warrants went for the period.

Jessica Hurst, DCM/Administrative Services said the larger payout was to CALPERS for the city’s unfunded pension and retirement liability. The council was told the payment would take care of most of the city’s unfunded debt except for the month-to-month pension and retirement payments for the employees in CALPERS. “So this is a good business deal,” she agreed.

The city’s financial status was

reviewed by state auditors earlier this year who reported the city was “at risk” particularly in their public safety area. Since the audit, city staff has been working make some of the recommendations for improvements made by the auditor.

One of the areas being looked at to save the city money and put the savings into the recommended auditor changes in the public safety arena is seeking a less costly retirement and benefit plan or plans (PARS and ICMA) with good benefits for new employees.

Several new plans have been offered the council by staff. Those plans are now under study by staff and will be brought back to council with their best recommendations.

“Anything but CALPERS,” several councilmembers reiterated.

The auditor’s report mentioned the city’s greatest area of risk was its fire department that because of

cutback in the recent recession were forced to cut back its public safety staff. The police department was similarly affected.

Fire Chief Scott Brown, at the end of the council meeting gave report on the department’s efforts to find a qualified battalion chief and firefighters that will help in rebuilding its suffering command structure.

The department was found wanting and the public safety “at risk” in the auditor’s report for lack of a formal command structure. Brown said the reason the department has no formal command structure was a result of the layoffs it was forced to make during the recession including a former battalion chief.

He said the department’s 15 fire captains have been doing what they could to fill the responsibilities of the former battalion chief. The extra work is taking away from their regular command duties.

“Hiring a battalion chief is a matter of this departments’ s survival and that is to rebuild our command structure” Brown said in an interview.

He told the council the formal search for a highly qualified battalion chief is well underway. “We don’t just want another fire captain, we need a highly qualified chief,” Brown noted. He said the department has some qualified captains, he is looking outside for the right chief.

He said the department, which has five stations, one squad manned by its 45 personnel working 48 and 96 hours shifts on duty, has five new hire recruits and one vacancy to fill its staff.

Police Chief Dave Brown reported his department has three new officers in the police academy with two officers applying. He said they are looking to add four more community service officers.

In April 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of the property at 403 East 4th Street for use as the county fire department administrative headquarters. Space upgrades are needed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards and a remodel will also accommodate the increased fire department staff. The upgrades will also include electrical, plumbing and mechanical improvements and modifications to the building’s exterior. The costs other than construction include design and engineering fees, construction cost estimating, soil and utility investigation, plan checks, permit fees and project management.

The county’s Economic Development Agency advertised a request for qualifications for design and construction administration services in December 2015.

EDA and fire department staff members comprised a selection committee which reviewed the

qualifications of each responding firm and interviewed the companies deemed worthy of advancing to the interview phase. GKK Works, which is headquartered in Riverside, was selected as the preferred firm due to the company’s experience and successful completion of similar projects.

The contract with GKK includes a $5,000 reimbursable allowance as well as the $214,268 award amount.

Developer Impact Fee payments will fund the remodel of the fire department headquarters. The budget includes the $1,637,500 already spent to acquire the land and $2,024,092 for construction along with $185,000 for minor construction not covered by the contract, $140,000 for project management, $204,300 for specialty consultants, $179,840 for contingencies, and the $219,268 for the architectural design.

Assistance League of Temecula Valley says thank you to Camp Pendleton marines and their families TEMECULA – Recognizing that military families sacrifice for all of us, seven Assistance League chapters from Orange, San Diego and Riverside counties say thanks each August in a very tangible way: new clothes and school supplies.

The chapters hosted a “Chapters for Children” two-day “shopping” event at Camp Pendleton on Aug. 13 and 14 for identified Marine dependents. Each chapter is responsible for providing a specific piece of clothing or item. Assistance League of Temecula Valley has participated in the event during the last six years and provides two pairs of boys’ jeans to each boy attending the event. This year there were 267 recipients for 534 new boys’ jeans.

Jeans not distributed were left at Camp Pendleton for distribution as needed at the base.

Chapters combine their resources to rent a special tent and set up a store stocked with new jeans, shirts, socks, underwear, hooded sweatshirts, school supplies, personal care items and a gift card for shoes at a local retailer. During Saturday and Sunday, Assistance League volunteers help children find the items they want to make going back to school a success.

Many smiles and joyful words of thanks were heard in the mammoth shopping tent as 677 children chose their new clothes.

Ann Steinhilper, event coordinator, said one aspect of this event that makes it unique is that kids get to choose what they want. “It makes it even more special for them,” Steinhilper said. “Everyone feels good, and we’re so glad we can do it because of what the military does for us.” All of the goods distributed are purchased brand new by each chapter. The funds used to make those purchases came from fundraising efforts earlier in the year.

DONATION from page A-1 to provide the vests himself to the officers and pay for them out of his own pocket.

Additional support for the donation was provided by a local Murrieta outdoor sporting goods store Brass & Bass whose owners Bill Nichols and Chris Andrews were able to provide the vests at wholesale.

Animal Control Officers are often dispatched or called to situations similar to those of Sheriff deputies and police officers. Given

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

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

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.

Local Wine Country Tourism District wins board approval RIVERSIDE – The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved formation of the Temecula Wine Country Tourism Marketing District last week. The move 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 3rd District encompasses 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.

According to county Economic 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 upward 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.

Local CalFire/Riverside County Fire Department and City of Temecula announce n e w division chief

CalFire Division Chief Charlie Dehart took over new duties Sept.

1, in Temecula.

Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar and CalFire/Riverside County Fire Chief John R. Hawkins are pleased to announce the promotion of Charlie Dehart to Division Chief for the city of Temecula. The effective date of the promotion was Sept. 1.

Dehart started his career in 1984 as a volunteer firefighter for Riverside County Fire Department at Little Lake Fire Station 26 in the unincorporated area of Hemet, through the Riverside County Office of Education’s regional occupational program.

In 1985, Dehart was employed as an emergency medical technician, and concurrently as a seasonal fire apparatus engineer for the U.S. Forest Service at the Cranston guard station, east of Hemet.

Dehart started his full-time career with CalFire as a seasonal firefighter in 1987 and attended the Crafton Hills College fire academy. He was hired as a full-time fire apparatus engineer with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in 1990 and was assigned to the San Jacinto and Blythe battalions.

In 1997, Dehart promoted to Fire Captain and relocated within the Riverside unit to expand his knowledge where he was assigned to the Bautista Conservation Camp. During his assignment, he obtained technical tree falling and pesticide applicator licenses. In 1999, Dehart became the operations captain at the camp.

Law enforcement was next on Dehart’s career goals. In 2001, after graduating from the California Peace Officers and Standards Training (POST), he transferred to the CalFire/Riverside County Fire Department Law Enforcement Bureau as a fire captain specialist where he was promoted to battalion chief of the fire prevention and investigations bureau in 2008.

During his assignment to the Fire Prevention Bureau; in 2006,

Dehart was the lead investigator in the multi-agency task force which led to the capture and conviction of the arsonist responsible for the Esperanza Fire series; earning him the CalFIRE Director’s Leadership Award in 2008 for outstanding leadership and management of the Esperanza Fire series.

Subsequently, in 2008, Dehart promoted to battalion chief for the city of Temecula for four years.

During his assignment, he was instrumental in the development of the Temecula Citizen’s Corp.

Menifee seeks input of residents for branding research process MENIFEE – The City of Menifee has partnered with North Star Destination Strategies to develop a community “Brand” to market Menifee regionally toward visitors, residents and businesses.

According to North Star CEO Don McEachern, at the heart of Menifee’s brand will be its competitive differentiator – in other words, it is the advantage Menifee has over other areas in its regional attraction. One of the best places to find that figurative nugget of marketing gold is in the hearts and minds of the people who call Menifee home.

Toward this end, North Star developed a customized Community-wide Online Survey, which is a quick questionnaire that was carefully crafted to determine Menifee’s strengths, weaknesses, challenges and opportunities. All who live and work in Menifee are invited and encouraged to participate in this important communitywide initiative.

The survey can be found on www. cityofmenifee.us/brandsurvey.

Surveys can be completed online

and submitted electronically.

Surveys must be completed and submitted by Sept. 24.

“We have partnered with more than 200 communities across North America, and I can’t emphasize enough the importance of insights gleaned from community members,” McEachern said. “To learn what makes a community special, you have to go to the people who spend more than just their money and time there. You have to go to the people who spend their lives there.”

If you are interested in learning more about Menifee’s branding initiative please contact Gina Gonzalez, Economic Development Manager, at ggonzalez@cityofmenifee.us, or to learn more about North Star Destination Strategies, please visit www.northstarideas. com. The City of Menifee’s branding initiative is not General Fund supported, and is fully funded

by Western Riverside Council of Governments (WRCOG) Beyond Grant.

City urges letter writing campaign to help restore lost funding Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

What would you do if you had the chance to put nearly $2 million in your community’s pocket?

Wildomar Mayor Bridgette Moore hopes that residents of her city will take just a few minutes of their time and write a letter to the governor that could put some much needed funding back to the city’s coffers.

Senate Bill 817 is poised to bring $1.9 million to Wildomar and Moore believes that a letter writing campaign to the governor could help to encourage him to sign the bill into law that restores funding to the county’s newest cities; something she said could be used to improve upon infrastructure and public safety for residents.

“For Wildomar that is $1.9 million a year,” she said. “That is a

ton of money. We could do a lot with that for our city. We could do could hire another (police) officer or two.”

Vehicle Licensing Fees, imposed on vehicles that travel on public highways in California, have long been a hot topic as California cities struggle to regain financial ground following the Great Recession.

Originally promised to fledgling cities, and then taken away by California Governor Jerry Brown to balance the state’s budget under SB 89 in 2011, some cities, including Wildomar and Menifee, have been left struggling to make ends meet.

“The VLF funds were included in our budget,” Moore said. “That was our money, the city of Wildomar’s money, the resident’s money.

Governor Brown took that out and it hurt all of the cities to have that money taken away, but it really hurt

the new cities.”

All of the cities have tried since 2011 to get the money owed to them, said Moore.

“We have tried,” she said. “We have hired lobbyists and have tried four times to get it to the governor to give us back our money because it’s unfair. We do not receive the same type of property tax allocations as other cities and this was supposed to be a fix for that. We need that back.”

Under SB 817 that all could change though, and that is where the letter writing campaign comes in, Moore said, adding that the city is encouraging residents to send a letter to the governor’s office. A sample letter can be found on the city’s website, www.cityofwildomar.org and residents are welcome to use that template.

“Or do your own letter, tell the

governor how you had to wait when you were a non-priority call, how you had to wait an hour or two because we didn’t have a deputy available,” Moore said. “Tell him why we need that money back. Tell him about your business.”

Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez, who co-authored the bill with California Senator Richard Roth, said that having the funding is important to the communities who were promised it and that she fully supports the letter writing campaign.

“I decided to co-author this bill because I know how important it is to our local communities to have the funding they require to ensure the safety of those who choose to call those cities home,” Melendez said. “It is a travesty that cities such as Wildomar and Menifee are being shortchanged due to the political

posturing of those in Sacramento.

Writing a letter to the governor to let him know how it has affected them gives residents a chance to have their voices heard.”

Property owners, renters and Wildomar business owners – even if they live in other cities – can all write letters to the governor, Moore said, adding Brown needs to sign SB 817 by Sept. 30. “We are encouraging everyone to write a letter by Sept. 27 because we want them to be on his desk. He needs to see how important that money is to our quality of life.”

Moore said while the response has been good to date, she’d like to see more letters sent to the governor so he can see how important that funding is to Wildomar and the people who call the city home.

“We need our money back,” she said.

Republican campaign headquarters officially opens in Temecula Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Republican candidates for local city and county offices appeared at the ribbon-cutting for the Temecula Valley Republican Women Federation’s campaign headquarters Sept.

14, at 28120 Jefferson Avenue, Temecula.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony followed the soft opening of the TVRWF earlier this summer and will now serve as the 2016 area Republican headquarters. TVRWF President Gloria Karlak and the groups’ officers met the republican candidates

and guests as they arrived.

Republican voters can pick up signs and other information about their favorite candidates at the headquarters.

The TVRWF is active throughout the year and gets into high gear during the election years with their object to promote local, county, state and federal Republican candidates for office. The women’s group is also active in helping charities and provides scholarships to local high school seniors.

TVRWF meets every third Tuesday of the month at Wilson Creek Winery with sign in at 10:30 a.m.

The meeting starts at 11 a.m. and lunch begins at noon. There is a cost of $20 for the buffet lunch with dessert, tea and coffee. Nonmembers pay $25.

The TVRWF theme for the upcoming general election is Soarfor-America. Most of the members agree that the nations needs’ are smaller government, to stop out of control spending, stop out of control government regulations and the government’s taking of privately owned property.

For more information, see tvrwf. org or follow them on Facebook and other social media.

Local Hemet Woman’s Club launches new season of community service to the San Jacinto Valley HEMET - The Hemet Woman’s Club began their season of service to the community beginning with the first club meeting Sept. 15 at the Hemet Public Library.

The Annual Patio Sale scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 1, at Colonial Country Club will be the first of many events held to benefit the programs supported by the Hemet

Woman’s Club. The Patio Sale, a park-wide event, will be a great opportunity to start holiday shopping; the woman’s club will be planning bargains galore.

The upcoming Holiday Craft Fair Nov. 5 will kick off several fundraising events that will take place throughout the year. This popular event benefits the Hemet Woman’s Club Scholarship Program. The community improvement project this year is will work with the Hemet Public Library and

the new Children’s Outside Activity Park. Fundraising will begin with a Bowling for Kids event on Jan. 14 at the AMF Hemet Lanes and another event on March 4 at the Ramona Hillside Playhouse.

Lois Hall, founder of Access to Leadership, shared insights on “Leadership and Building An Effective Team.” Her lemon example demonstrated the power of visualization and her recent experience training a dog sled tem in Alaska formed the basis of her presentation, “Forming, Storming, Norming, High-Performing.”

Jan Smith, President and Founder of the Inland Management Group, shared her insights on “The Varied Vintages of the Multi-Generational Workplace.” Smith emphasized the importance of understanding the different generations, Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millenials and Generation Z. “We see through our generational lenses,” said Smith, “And this is the first time in history that we have five generations working in the marketplace at the same time.”

After describing the characteristics of each generation, Smith gave some tips for working with and managing multi-generational workplaces – leverage the specific expertise, accommodate learning styles, create conducive work spaces, motivate with interaction and communicate wisely.

Cabot ascribes her success to the Entrepreneurial Operating System and stated that “how we transfer our value is our best gift to others…knowledge is power, but teaching others is empowerment.”

The Master of ceremonies for the event was “Mamma Mia” Digenan from 101.3 The Mix. The 51 vendors provided products, services,

education and resource connections. The event also had a silent auction. Gillian Larson, founder of Reality Rally, one of the largest volunteer-run events in the area, won the designer handbag raffle provided by Julie Ngo of State Farm Insurance.

The women networked throughout the day and a positive experience was had by all. “We thank the committees and staff who have continued to make this event a highly sought-after conference,” said Sullivan.

JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

It was a weird week in the valley for football as Week Three wrapped up with not only two heavy hitters from the valley losing, but there was a preseason tie that still has the water cooler chatter going.

Great Oak wound up being the only team from the Southwestern League to win, Vista Murrieta lost their first game of the season to JSerra, the Nighthawks, who lead in most of the stat categories across the board, lost to Rancho Cucamonga, the Golden Bears still find themselves winless after falling to Santiago, Chaparral could not pull out the last second win against Redlands and Murrieta Mesa lost their homecoming game, for the

first time ever, to San Jacinto.

In the Sunbelt League, for the first time in history, 5 of the 6 teams, which include Heritage, Elsinore, Paloma Valley, Lakeside and Perris, remain undefeated.

The game of the week includes the only other Sunbelt League team not mentioned above as the Temescal Canyon Titans and Linfield Lions battled it out to a tie ballgame, with last second heroics coming for the Lions to stay in the game.

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

Game of the Week It could not have been a better game to showcase for the Game of the Week since both Temescal Canyon and Linfield are used to

the excitement of their crosstown rivalry. Last year’s 37-21 loss to Linfield Christian had the Titans pumped up, looking for their second win of the season this year.

Unfortunately, in this game, there would be no winner.

Linfield mounted an early attack after senior Simeon Burns returned

the opening kickoff 40 yards.

Senior running back, John Henry, fed off the energy a few plays later rushing 34 yards into the end zone for a touchdown. A 2-point conversion would put the Lions up 8-0.

A tenacious Titans team bounced right back with a scoring drive of their own. Sophomore quarterback

Jayden Gomez drove Temescal Canyon down the field finishing the drive with a 6-yard touchdown pass to junior tight end Chris Frey.

Sports ACTION from page B-1 forth through the second quarter until the Lions scored again off a 53-yard run by Henry, who had a huge hole open up thanks to senior guard Cole Smith and the O-line.

Gomez took the game into his own hands that same quarter to keep the Titans in the game when he scampered 53 yards for a touchdown, cutting the lead to 15-13 after a successful PAT before halftime.

Temescal Canyon would then take the lead on what would be a crucial 36-yard field goal by junior Mikey Ibarra in the third quarter, which put the Titans up 16-15.

The game carried on in the same fashion as the first half until late in the fourth quarter when sophomore running back Brandon Clemons ran the ball in for a 15-yard touchdown, putting the Titans up 23-15.

With the game looking to go Temescal Canyon’s way, and less than five minutes to play, Linfield Christian put on a show. The Lions drove the ball 93 yards into the end zone to make it 23-21when Henry scored his third TD of the game.

The Lions converted on the 2-point conversion for the second time in the game to tie it up as time ran out.

“I am very proud of this group.

They are still coming together finding their sense of identity,” said Head Coach DeChon Burns. “This game was all about us growing, learning on the fly and operating like a team. I’m glad that we were able to find a way to get things done with our backs against the wall.”

future for all.

While a number of assisted living communities primarily focus on providing care of activities of daily living, such as bathing, toileting, and feeding, Vineyard Ranch focuses on elder care that emphasizes promoting good health, wellness, independence, improving quality and longevity of life, as opposed to just emphasizing activities of daily living (ADL) care related to diseases and frailty.

Wellness Edge®, Vineyard Ranch’s hallmark concept, is a life-enhancing model developed for seniors. It combines the latest scientific, social and health breakthroughs focused on enhancing the quality and longevity of life.

Who can you trust to help you with your Medical Insurance Needs?

TesTimonial “We never realized how much difference it would mean to have the right medical group on your side. My husband is on Medicare and the ‘Medical Group’ he was with was stringing him along for over a year concerning his health issues. Egregious things kept happening and we were more than frustrated. I suggested we talk to Charise about what we were experiencing. I thought perhaps she would know what we should do. When my husband shared what was going on with Charise she took the matter seriously and moved into action; she even made phone calls to his current medical group to see if we could get some satisfaction. After getting nowhere herself she checked out the groups rating. She discovered their customer care rating was so bad they were in danger of losing their insurance companies that subscribe patients to them. She promptly found my husband a new group with excellent ratings. Come this last January 2016 for the first time someone took my husband’s cardiac Arrhythmia and other issues seriously. He was sent to an excellent Cardiologist who promptly sent him to a Superb Electrophysiologist who found what the problem was.

Surgery was scheduled and using an ablation technique, the Electrophysiologist was able to fix his arrhythmia. My husband is doing much better and I believe her caring ways helped to save his quality and quantity of life. The right insurance group is important and having a knowledgeable caring person like Charise on your side is invaluable.” - The Thomas’

Red Cross needs donors of all blood types to maintain a diverse supply

Donors to give blood to help ensure a stable and diverse blood supply for patients in need TEMECULA – Blood donors may be helping patients like 11-year-old Martin Mwita who has sickle cell disease. His body does not produce enough healthy red cells to carry adequate oxygen through his body, so he relies on monthly transfusions to stabilize his health.

A diverse blood supply is important to ensure the needs of all patients are met. Red blood cells carry markers that determine one’s blood type, and some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups. Because blood from donors of the same ethnic background as the recipient is less likely to cause complications, the Red Cross must maintain a diverse blood supply to meet these diverse patient needs.

Whether blood is needed for a chronic condition such as sickle cell disease, a surgical procedure or a large-scale emergency, it’s the blood already on the shelves that helps save lives. Donors of all blood types are needed.

To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1 (800) RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). Donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at redcrossblood.org/ rapidpass to help reduce wait times.

Those who come out to give blood or platelets Sept. 1-30 will receive a free haircut coupon via email, courtesy of Sport Clips Haircuts.

The coupon is valid through Nov. 6, at participating Sport Clips locations, and donors must have a valid email address on record to receive the coupon.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities will be available in Menifee Sept. 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mt. San Jacinto Community College on 28237 La Piedra Road; Norco on Sept. 28, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and on Sept. 29, from noon to 6 p.m. at U.S. Army Recruiting Center on 39628 Winchester Road, Suite J. How to donate blood Simply download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1 (800) RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more

information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at checkin. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at

the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

About the American Red Cross The American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a not-for-profit organization that depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.

The theme celebrated the countless ways assisted living and memory care communities are integrating technology into resident care. In fact, seniors are the fastest growing internet and social media users today. They typically use it to reconnect with people from their past, bridge generational gaps, and find online support for people living with chronic diseases.

“We take enormous pride in finding new ways to enhance the services we provide in assisted living,” said Amy Wilcox for Murrieta Gardens. “Incorporating 21st century technology whenever possible truly makes resident care better in so many ways and helps them enjoy a better quality of life.”

“Keep Connected” recognizes the increasing opportunity technology can offer to enhance the care and overall experience in assisted living communities. Throughout the week communities were encouraged to support opportunities for residents to use the latest communication tools to engage with the world around them.

Furthermore, “Keep Connected” acknowledged the many ways assisted living staff and supporting business partners are revolutionizing the care provided in these communities through innovations in technology.

Assisted living is like a retirement living community. The philosophy of assisted living embraces independence, choice and the opportunity for seniors to live enriching lives with additional care at their disposal.

The everyday tasks of chores, home maintenance and meals are taken care of as well as the assurance that licensed nurses are on staff for residents.

In assisted living, family members are welcome to visit and participate in community life. They benefit from support services and the knowledge that their loved one is more than well cared for. Older adults often benefit and thrive from better nutrition, more social interaction and higher activity levels in assisted living communities.

Murrieta Gardens is located at 24200 Monroe Ave in Murrieta.

The expertly trained staff provides residents with the highest standards of senior care services. It is operated

by Integral Senior Living, which manages independent, assisted living and memory care properties.

Integral Senior Living is founded on a care philosophy that fosters dignity and respect for residents and promotes their independence and individuality. For more information on Murrieta Gardens, call Amy Wilcox (951-600-7676) or visit www.murrietagardens.com.

sor of chemical engineering Zhenan Bao on applications for stretchable electronics including skin placement.

“Stretchable Electronic Materials for Skin-Inspired Devices” addressed the molecular design concepts for stretchable semiconductors, dielectrics and conductors used to fabricate stretchable transistors and simple circuits.

“We’re going to start to wear our electronics,” Bao said.

The elastonics must have stretchable properties and must be able to accommodate strain on skin.

“Our approach is to take soft materials which are already compatible with soft tissue and skin but turn them into higher-performance elec-

tronic materials,” Bao said.

Stanford’s materials science program is working with the design school on applications which would include monitoring devices and artificial skin. Wearable elastonics would be in one of four regions: enhanced wearables, smart clothing and peripherals (such as glasses), dermal (on-skin) sensors and subdermal (implanted) sensors.

“Our goal is to be able to mimic biological systems,” Bao said. “We want to build electronic materials that can mimic all the functions of skin.”

The components as well as the device itself must have the stretchable properties. “A very important com-

ponent is the printed circuit,” Bao said. “For the stretchable electronic material it’s still relatively new.”

One of the issues to be addressed is the change in electrical characteristics with strain.

The research also covers the comparison between a double-layer capacitor and a convention capacitor.

“If we go to much lower frequencies we can see there’s dramatic increase in the capacitance,” Bao said. “There are some ions that can migrate to the surface of the electrode.”

In a double-layer capacitor, the capacitance is independent of thickness while an inverse relationship between capacitance and thickness exists for a conventional capacitor.

Celebrating

“Using this as the guideline then we can now start looking how to incorporate new functionalities,” Bao said. “We want to have chemical bonds that can readily break more easily.”

The dynamic bonds can strengthen the energy dissipation, and research has shown a level with no visible crack function even at 100 percent strain. “We’re able to now actually reach a state for this kind of material comparable to state of art,” Bao said.

Integration of the material is an additional area of work. “These materials are going to be encapsulated when we actually use them,” Bao said. “Stretchable encapsulation material will be a big challenge.”

Prop 64 opens the door to more problems for Californians Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

This year there are a slew of ballot measures for Californians to consider come the November elections. Perhaps one of the most talked about is the California Marijuana Legalization Initiative otherwise known as, Prop 64.

According to an article recently published in the International Business Times, 58 percent of Californians polled support the measure that would legalize the possession, cultivation and sale of marijuana for adults over the age of 21 as well as impose an excise tax equal to 15 percent of the sale price and imposed a state cultivation tax that could potentially bring the state millions in much needed tax revenue. But before you check that yes box on your ballot in November, I urge you to do some research.

With a quick Google search, I found some interesting facts and statistics that should be seriously considered by those who may be interested in approving this measure.

“Newly released data from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) shows that marijuana is increasing as a factor in

deadly crashes. The number of drivers involved in deadly crashes who tested positive for marijuana increased 48 percent from 2013 to 2014,” According to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, http://wtsc.wa.gov/News/marijuana-increased-in-2014-as-a-factorin-deadly-crashes/.

According to the research, the number of drivers testing positive for active THC increased, “from 65 percent (38 of 60 drivers) in 2013 to an alarming 85 percent (75 of 89 drivers) in 2014. Approximately half of these THC-positive drivers exceeded the 5 ng/ml THC per se limit (A “per se” limit is the amount of a substance in a person’s blood that according to Washington law makes the person DUI notwithstanding other evidence.)

“With this data we are finally able to see who was high during the crash versus which drivers had used marijuana in the past few days,” said Dr. Staci Hoff, WTSC Data and Research Director. “The answer in 2014 is most of them were high.”

In Colorado, they are seeing much of the same. According to a report from Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking area,

“Traffic fatalities involving operators testing positive for marijuana have increased 100 percent from 2007 to 2012.”

The report also says “The majority of driving-under-the-influenceof-drugs arrests involve marijuana and 25 to 40 percent were marijuana alone, and that toxicology reports with positive marijuana results for driving under the influence have increased 16 percent from 2011 to 2013.”

The report, “The Legalization of Marijuana in Colorado, the Impact,” can be found in its entirety online at www.rmhidta.org, and also includes even more alarming information such as an increase of marijuana use by minors – fourth in the nation and 39 percent higher than the national average of 7.55 percent, and a 32 percent increase of expulsions or suspensions from school for those aged 12 to 17, with the vast majority being for marijuana violations.

Adult usage in Colorado is also on the rise, consider the fact that 26.81 percent of college age students (ages 18 – 25 years) were considered current marijuana users compared to 18.89 percent nationally. Colorado, ranked third in the

nation, was 42 percent higher than the national average.

In 2012, 7.63 percent of adults ages 26 and over were considered current marijuana users compared to 5.05 percent nationally. Colorado, ranked seventh in the nation, was 51 percent higher than the national average and in 2013, 48.4 percent of Denver adult arrestees tested positive for marijuana which is a 16 percent increase from 2008.

Not convinced yet? Well here is some more food for thought.

• From 2011 through 2013, there was a 57 percent increase in marijuana-related emergency room visits.

• Hospitalizations related to marijuana have increased 82 percent from 2008 to 2013.

• In 2012, the City of Denver rate for marijuana-related emergency visits was 45 percent higher than the rate in Colorado.

• Marijuana-related exposures for children ages 0 to 5 on average have increased 268 percent from 2006–2009 to 2010-2013.

• Colorado’s rate of marijuanarelated exposures is triple the national average.

• Over the last nine years, the top three drugs involved in treatment

admissions have been alcohol, marijuana and amphetamines.

• Highway interdiction seizures of Colorado marijuana destined to 40 other states increased 397 percent from 2008 to 2013.

• The average pounds of Colorado marijuana seized, destined for other states, increased 33.5 percent from 2005 to 2008 compared to 2009 to 2013.

• Overall, crime in Denver increased 6.7 percent from the first six months of 2013 to the first six months of 2014.

• The number of pets poisoned from ingesting marijuana has increased fourfold in the past six years.

And this is just Colorado. I haven’t done much research on Washington State yet, aside from the quick search I did on the impacts of marijuana usage on traffic safety there.

I implore all voters to do their research behind every measure on this year’s ballot, being an informed voter just makes good sense. All I know for certain is with statistics like this, and teens in my home, I can’t get behind voting yes on Prop 64. Can you?

Melendez speaks out on upcoming ballot measures LAKE ELSINORE – This past weekend State Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez took to social media and her website, http://melendezforca.com/2016-californiaballot-propositions/, offering up her opinions on the upcoming elections and the measures that will appear on this year’s ballot.

“If nothing else, VOTE NO on Jerry Brown’s PROP 57 – which would make the sexual assault of an unconscious person, drive by shootings, and some domestic violence no longer a violent crime,” Melendez explained. “So for those of you that were outraged by Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner’s sexual assault last year, THAT would be deemed a nonviolent crime.”

The following is Melendez’ thoughts on proposed legislation that will go before voters this year.

Prop 52, California Voter Approval to Divert Hospital Fee Revenue Dedicated to Medi-Cal – YES “This creates more accountability and requires public oversight for any change to the hospital fee,” Melendez explained. “With our hospitals required to care for the uninsured thought the emergency department, they have self-imposed this fee to enable access to federal grants that offset this hard cost which would otherwise cause our hospitals to close and decrease access.”

Prop 53, California Voter Approval Requirement for Revenue Bonds above $2 Billion – YES “This creates more accountability and requires a vote of the people for revenue bonds above $2 billion,” Melendez said.

Prop 54, California Public Dis-

play of Legislative Bills Prior to Vote – YES “The legislature should be required to post legislation online for 72 hours before it can vote on it,” Melendez said.

Prop 55, California Extension of the Proposition 30 Income Tax Increase Initiative – NO “No more income tax increases, in fact we should be cutting taxes,” Melendez explained. “I didn’t support it the first time, and I’m sure as heck not supporting its extension.”

Prop 56, California Tobacco Tax Increase – NO “No more taxes. Period,” Melendez said of the measure that, if passed would add an additional $2.00 tax, bringing the total tobacco tax up the $2.87 per pack of cigarettes. It would increase the excise tax on other tobacco products equivalently.

Prop 57, California Parole for Non-Violent Criminals and Juvenile Court Trial Requirements Initiative – NO “The Governor has lost his mind on this one,” Melendez said. “First it was AB 109, then Prop 47 and now this. How much does violent crime have to increase before people are willing to say no?”

Prop 58, California Non-English Languages Allowed in Public Education Act – NO “I support English as the official language of our education system for preparing students to succeed in the world,” Melendez said of her position against the ballot proposition.

Prop 59, California Overturn of Citizens United Act Advisory Question – NO “Elected officials have a conflict

of interest when it comes to the Citizens United v FEC decision,” Melendez said. “Giving elected officials this kind of power is an overreach.”

Prop 60, Condoms in Pornographic Films Initiative – NO “I do not believe this ballot initiative should be taken seriously,” Melendez said.

Prop 61, Drug Price Standards Initiative – NO “I do not believe the government should be pricing drugs,” Melendez explained. “Furthermore, the moment the government begins to bear this kind of regulation on our healthcare system, the sooner we stifle research and development, and slow the effort to find cures for terminal illnesses.”

Prop 62, Repeal of the Death Penalty Initiative – NO “I support the death penalty,” Melendez said.

Prop 63, Background Checks for Ammunition Purchases and LargeCapacity Ammunition Magazine Ban Initiative – NO

“This measure will not stop terrorists from getting access to guns,” Melendez said. “It will however create a costly bureaucracy for an already bureaucratic process for small-business owners who sell firearms.”

Prop 64, California Marijuana Legalization Initiative – NO “I believe the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes will increase the risk for crime and other potential dangers,” Melendez said of the proposition that would legalize recreational marijuana and hemp under state law and establish a 15 percent sales tax as well as a cultivation tax of $9.25 per ounce for flowers and $2.75 per ounce for leaves.

Prop 65, Dedication of Revenue from Disposable Bag Sales to Wildlife Conservation Fund Initiative – NO “I do not support the plastic bag ban,” Melendez explained. “This type of tax only hurts the working class by increasing their cost for the use of plastic bags.”

A roadmap of priority Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Tired of sitting in backlogged traffic on the I-15 or just trying to get your kids to school and then to work? California’s population has almost doubled since the 1970s, but our highway system has not kept pace and must be upgraded to keep our people moving and our economy humming. That is why our caucus introduced a nine-point, $6.6 billion plan to fund transportation infrastructure and fix our roads with existing resources.

Our state has the fifth-highest fuel tax in the nation, yet studies

consistently rank our highway system as one of the nation’s worst.

As the economy has rebounded, tax revenues have increased, but essential highway upgrades have been delayed. During this year’s Transportation Special Session called by the Governor, I introduced ABx114 to make a formal commitment in the State Budget General Fund to fund transportation by $1 billion annually without raising taxes or fees, including $500 million for highway upgrades and $500 million for local streets and roads.

According to early predictions by the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO), the three-year revenue

forecast is such that we can fully fund Prop. 98 (education funding), the Rainy Day Fund (reserves) and still dedicate $1 billion annually to transportation. All without raising taxes!

The need to provide reliable highways, streets and roads is one of the primary responsibilities of state government, and it’s one I take very seriously. Our economy and our way of life depend upon a network of highways and roadways designed for a growing population of almost 40 million people, not an antiquated system built many decades ago. Rebuilding our state’s highways can wait no longer.

Local businesses come through for traveler in need Dear Editor, I had a flat tire on my way home from Oceanside to Corona on Freeway 15 after midnight Labor Day. I had my BMW towed to BMW Murrieta hoping I may at least get a loner to drive home, the next morning. I spent the night at La Quinta Inn the only hotel I found with vacancy.

Diamond Valley towing company was great, dropped me off at the hotel around 4 a.m., and delivered my car after BMW opened. When I called BMW in the morning, they

told me service was closed and could not give me a loner as only service can do that. So I tried a couple of rental cars but they were also closed for the holiday.

Then suddenly BMW called me back (saying) that the owner overheard my phone call and opened service, found the same tire my car had, no labor cost, just the tire at cost to them. So I can come and pick up the car. They even washed my car.

The owner is Boris Said, a race car champion, and his father was

Prop 66, Death Penalty Procedures Initiative – YES “Reforming the California death penalty will ensure due process protections for those sentenced to death and promote justice for murder victims and their families,” Melendez said. “This will save taxpayers millions.”

Prop 67, California Plastic Bag Ban Veto Referendum – NO “I oppose the plastic bag ban,” Melendez said of the measure that would uphold or ratify the contested legislation banning plastic bags that was enacted by the California State Legislature under the name Senate Bill 270.

an Olympic bob sled driver. What an American Spirit! I want to thank BMW Murrieta for their great generosity and Diamond Valley Towing for such professionalism.

I have pictures of the badly slashed tire - The tire was smoking burning when I got off the freeway at Bundy Canyon Shell station.

BMW’s don’t have spare tires so I would have been stranded without the help of the locals!

Thank you all so much!

Felon who robbed shop sentenced to 185 years BANNING – An ex-con who held up a Hemet eatery and forced employees into a walk-in refrigerator, where they were stripped of all their belongings, was sentenced Monday, Sept. 19, to 185 years to life in state prison.

A Banning jury in July convicted 50-year-old Raynaldo Sanchez Salcido of Yorba Linda of five counts of armed robbery, three counts of kidnapping to commit robbery and

multiple sentence-enhancing allegations of using a firearm to commit a felony and committing a crime within five years of parole.

Riverside County Superior Court Judge W. Charles Morgan imposed the upper terms for each count.

Salcido was arrested just over a year ago for the July 7, 2015, holdup at a Subway in the 3500 block of Stetson Avenue.

His co-defendant, 36-year-old

Corrine Marie Moreno of Hemet, pleaded guilty to armed robbery and assault in March and was sentenced to 10 years in state prison.

According to Hemet police Lt. Dean Evans, the defendants and an unidentified third man burst into the sandwich shop shortly before closing time, brandished handguns at the employees and ordered them to empty the cash register.

After taking several hundred

dollars, the defendants hustled the four victims into a refrigerated compartment, took all of their personal possessions, then fled the location.

Officers arrived minutes later, but by that time, the bandits were long gone.

According to Evans, evidence collected at the scene and a followup investigation led to the identification of Salcido and Moreno, who were arrested without incident less

than a week later.

Salcido was also later charged with a separate robbery involving a Menifee man the day before the Subway holdup. That was among the offenses for which he was convicted.

According to court records, the defendant had several prior burglary convictions, as well as convictions for auto theft and carrying a firearm onto the campus of a public school.

Trial begins for felon accused of killing San Jacinto man MURRIETA – Trial proceedings got underway Monday, Sept. 19, for a felon accused of gunning down a San Jacinto man in an ambush-style slaying and then fleeing to Mexico, where he was captured last year.

Juan Javier Mejia, 43, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy and a special circumstance allegation of lying in wait in the June 6, 2013, shooting death of 23-year-old Ivan Ibarra Carrillo.

He’s being held without bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

Riverside County Superior Court Judge Dennis McConaghy ruled on pretrial motions from the prosecution and defense Monday, then

ordered several panels of prospective jurors to the Southwest Justice Center tomorrow for screening.

Mejia was apprehended near Mexico City Feb. 20, 2015, after more than 18 months on the run, according to sheriff’s officials.

His co-defendant and half brother, 26-year-old Abram Daniel Palacios, remains at large and is facing the same charges.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit filed by sheriff’s Investigator Martin Alfaro, Carrillo was attacked near the intersection of Las Rosas Drive and Osprey Street in San Jacinto. The victim was leaving a house in his Ford Excursion when the defendants pulled directly

in front of the northbound SUV, blocking its path with a four-door Honda Accord.

“A witness saw the driver and front-seat passenger of the Honda get out of the vehicle and immediately start shooting at the Excursion,” Alfaro wrote. “The witness said the driver of the Excursion had both hands up in the air, as if surrendering or giving up.”

After firing 14 rounds from a .40 caliber handgun and two rounds from a .9mm pistol, the gunmen jumped back into the Accord and fled the area, according to the affidavit.

Carrillo was pronounced dead at the scene.

A witness positively identified Palacios as one of the alleged shooters. Alfaro said investigators tracked down Palacios’ girlfriend and discovered that the Honda was hers. The woman confirmed that the defendant and Mejia had borrowed the car and alleged that Palacios admitted killing Carrillo.

Less than two weeks later, sheriff’s detectives located Mejia’s wife and children, residing in an apartment on Sunrise Way in Palm Springs. The woman, whose identity was withheld, said the defendants had appeared at the residence on the night of June 18 and left three hours later.

Alfaro said he called Mejia’s

mobile phone, and the defendant “stated he was already in Mexico.”

A possible motive for the fatal shooting has not been disclosed.

Mejia is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole if convicted.

According to court documents, he has prior convictions for rape, assault with intent to commit rape and burglary. Palacios has prior misdemeanor convictions for illegal possession of a controlled substance, making criminal threats and domestic abuse.

DUI suspect causes injury crash in Elsinore LAKE ELSINORE – A 20-yearold Lake Elsinore man was arrested Monday for allegedly driving drunk and causing a crash that toppled a utility pole, injuring one person.

Noah Mathew Angel was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence following the

midnight wreck at Eisenhower and Riverside drives in Lake Elsinore.

Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Todd Grimm said Angel was traveling east on Riverside in a Ford Focus when he rear-ended a Honda Civic. The Ford then plowed into the pole, shearing it completely at

its base, Grimm said.

The suspect was not injured, but one of the two occupants of the Civic was transported to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar for treatment, according to the sergeant. The severity of that person’s injuries were unclear.

Deputies conducted a field sobriety test on Angel and determined that he was drunk, Grimm alleged.

The suspect was booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta but posted a $2,500 bond and was released a few hours later.

Fire damages San Jacinto home displacing 6 SAN JACINTO – Fire damaged a San Jacinto home, authorities said Monday, Sept. 19.

The fire was reported at 5:16 p.m. Sunday in the 500 block of La Cumbre Court, said April New-

man of the Riverside County Fire Department.

“The first arriving engine company reported a single story, single family dwelling with smoke from the roof and a working attic fire,”

Newman said.

The fire was contained to the attic space above two bedrooms and the interior was further damaged when a part of the roof collapsed above them, she said. Flames were put

out at 5:55 p.m. by 21 firefighters.

Two men, two women, a boy and a girl were displaced by the fire, Newman said.

Loss was estimated at $50,000, she said. No injuries were reported.

Two men arrested for possession of drugs and weapons in Temecula TEMECULA – Two Temecula men were allegedly high on drugs and selling methamphetamines and heroin near Chaparral High School in Temecula when they were arrested, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

Eric Allen, 29 and Kyle Evans,

29, were reported to be loitering and brandishing a knife at 9:50 a.m.

Saturday, Sept. 17, near Winchester at Nicolas roads in Temecula. A shopping center and the high school are at that corner.

Police suspected the men were high on drugs, and a records check

indicated they were out on probation related to previous drug charges, said Riverside Sheriff’s Sgt. Chad Loeffler.

Deputies reportedly found a quantity of methamphetamines and heroin associated with sales, as well as drug paraphernalia on Allen. Of-

ficers said they found a stolen semiautomatic handgun, an illegal knife and drug paraphernalia on Evans.

Evans was held in lieu of $30,000 bail, and Allen held on $10,000 bail, for possession of drugs and illegal weapons. The pair is being held at the Southwest Jail.

Hemet boy found after disappearing while waiting for school bus HEMET – A 10-year-old Hemet boy who went missing Monday, Sept. 19, was found unharmed by police officers searching for him.

According to Hemet police, Jesse Nall was located this afternoon by

patrol officers and was reunited with his family.

There was no word on where the child had been or what he’d been doing.

Jesse had last been seen about

7:30 a.m. near the intersection of Devonshire Avenue and Yale Street, where he was waiting to be picked up by his school bus, authorities said.

He apparently never made it to school, prompting his family to

report him missing.

The Hemet Police Department thanked residents for their concern via the agency’s Facebook page and assured well-wishers that the boy “is safe.”

Temecula turns up the heat with Hatch Chile Festival

Hatch chile pepper season comes to Temecula during the 10th annual New Mexico Hatch Chile Festival hosted by the spicy food store Chile Hedz in Old Town, Sept. 17-18.

Hatch chile peppers get loaded into a roaster where the skin of the pepper gets blackened and blistered. Roasting enhances the flavor of the pepper and makes the skin easier to remove.

Hatch chile peppers are only grown in Hatch, New Mexico, where they were originally developed in 1894.

John Anthony Jr. helps load a roaster of Hatch chile peppers for customers during the New Mexico Hatch Chile Festival in Old Town Temecula, Sept. 17.

Prepare to ‘Get Shamrocked’ at popular Celtic music festival this weekend Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Every fall for the last three years, Celtic music lovers flock to Murrieta for the annual Get Shamrocked Irish Music Festival.

Now in its fourth year, the festival expects to bring much of the same to Murrieta’s Town Square Park, Friday, Sept. 23, and Saturday, Sept. 24.

At this year’s event the stage is being dedicated to Cullen Connolly who lost his life last year in a car accident. According to the event website, www.getshamrocked. com, Connolly loved Celtic music and was a huge fan of the Young Dubliners, The Mahones and Gaelic Storm, all who are scheduled to perform at this year’s festival.

“Celtic music was his big passion,” the site reported. “Cullen lived with a neuro-muscular disorder, but that didn’t affect him.

He was an inspiration to all of us

in life.”

Bands featured at this year’s festival Friday Punk Night include Quel Bordel at 4:30 p.m., Brick Top Blaggers at 5:30 p.m., Black Irish Texas at 6:30 p.m., The Tossers at 7:30 p.m., Flatfoot 56 at 8:45 p.m. and The Mahones at 10 p.m.

Gates open at 4 p.m. Friday.

The fun continues into Saturday with Celtic Rock Night. Gates open at 11 a.m., and Saturday performers include The American Wake at noon, followed by Midnight Satellites at 1 p.m., Whiskey Sunday at 2 p.m., The McKintree Boys at 3 p.m., Hoist the Colors at 4 p.m., The Angry Brians at 5 p.m. and Young Dubliners at 6 p.m. At 7:30 p.m. Gaelic Storm will take to the stage, and at 9:15 p.m. The Fighting Jamesons will close out the festival.

With plenty of Jameson Irish Whiskey and Guinness beer to go around, along with a variety of food trucks, the festival, which is

Lead vocalist and guitarist Keith Roberts, for the Celtic rock band Young Dubliners, performs in the final show of the 3rd annual Get Shamrocked Irish Music Festival in Murrieta last year. The Young Dubliners, one of 15 groups on the schedule for this year’s festival, will perform Saturday, Sept. 24, at 5 p.m.

for those ages 21 and older, looks to be a great way to get out and enjoy Irish music at its finest.

“This music festival continues to grow, and 2016 will be another major step in our history with six major headlining bands and a crowd that just connects as soon as the first band hits the stage,” the website reported.

Festival goers should dress in layers and bring sun screen and eye protection as sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 80s are predicted, with nighttime temperatures dipping into the low 60s. Animals and pets are not allowed on festival grounds unless they are service animals so leave Fido at home. Be sure to bring a valid picture ID for

the purchase of alcohol, and chairs and blankets to sit on.

EZ-Ups and tents are not allowed on the site, but small umbrellas that don’t block the view of other festival goers are permitted.

The site is wheelchair accessible, and four ATMs will be available for use at the site through the duration of the festival.

Outside food and drinks, including alcohol and water are not allowed at the festival, and organizers reserve the right to check all bags or items at the entrance.

Parking around the festival site is free. There are large parking areas on either side of the venue.

For tickets and more information, visit getshamrocked.com.

Some guests attending the 2015 Get Shamrocked Irish Music Festival were lucky enough to find a shamrock in the foam of their Guinness beer. Guests can expect much of the same at the 2016 festival, Friday, Sept. 23 and Saturday, Sept. 24.

Bella Vista Winery to host wine pickup party Oct. 8

Bella Vista Winery owners Gizella and her husband Imre Cziraki have owned the Bella Vista vineyard since 1998. The winery will host a wine pickup party Oct. 8.

Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula Valley wine club members typically know that a pickup party at their designated winery is a time of great festivity, and that’s definitely the case for Bella Vista winery club members.

The next pickup for this winery is set for Oct. 8, according to Bella Vista owner Imre Cziraki. While this event is primarily for club members, there is an opportunity for non-club members to see what fun is offered at these special events.

Cziraki began making wine at age 7 with his grandfather in Hungary. He purchased his first vineyard in La Cresta in 1982, which was followed by the purchase of his Bella Vista Vineyard in 1998 and the winery property in 2004.

As time has passed, the winery has transformed into the perfect blend of European and Southern

California beauty.

Bella Vista winery has a special history that blends European wine with the distinct wines of the Temecula Valley. Cziraki and his wife, Gizella, have a long history of making wine long before they purchased the winery. Located on the land of Temecula’s first commercial vineyard, Bella Vista winery is the perfect spot for a picnic, or for grand weddings, parties and events.

The wine created at Bella Vista uses mostly estate-grown grapes (80 percent) to make each wine.

Each year, 19,000 cases of wine are produced from the winery, with various options including Champagne, reds, roses, sweet reds and wines, and whites. There is truly something for everyone at Bella Vista winery.

Currently, guests can visit Bella Vista Winery, located at 41220 Calle Contento in Temecula, during its open hours, 10 a.m. to 5

Dining in the Valley Wonderful weeknight dining, makes any day taste like Sunday Family Features special to valley news

With school, work and evening activities all spiraling in different directions, most families find that some things have to give. Make sure quality time around the dinner table isn’t one of them with these savvy solutions that can help make weekday meals a cinch.

One-dish wonders Most busy families are wellversed in the benefits of slow cooker meals, but when you haven’t planned that far ahead there are other options, such as your oven’s broiler, that allow you to capture the convenience of single-dish meals. A cookie sheet filled with your favorite protein, veggies and a sprinkle of seasoning will broil in minutes. Just remember to cut your protein into small pieces that will cook through quickly and line your sheet with foil for easier cleanup.

Another quick-fix idea: empty the odds and ends from the pantry and veggie drawer to make a stir-fry in minutes.

Go for the gold When it comes to mealtime, Sunday dinner is the gold standard.

It’s the one day of the week when you’re most likely to go “all out” and prepare a great-tasting meal.

But you can achieve similar meals during the week using delicious, time-saving sides such as packaged Idahoan Signature Russets mashed potatoes, which can be made in just 5 minutes. The smooth flavor of Idahoan Signature Russets – like original homemade mashed potatoes with just a hint of butter and cream – makes any day taste like Sunday.

Quick-prep proteins Every family has its favorite goto meals that stand the test of time.

Build your repertoire with a few recipes centered on proteins that take next to no time to prepare. Eggs don’t have to be restricted to the breakfast table, especially in preparations like a frittata or quiche. Or rely on seafood, which can be seared to perfection in minutes. A mild white fish is an ideal foundation for creating diverse, rich flavors, such as this Seared Halibut with Lemon

Butter Sauce.

For more tips to increase family time and get quick meals on the weeknight dinner table, visit idahoan.com.

Seared Halibut with Lemon Butter Sauce Serves: 4 Lemon Butter Sauce 1/2 cup white wine 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 8 tablespoons whipping cream 3/4 teaspoon fresh garlic, chopped turmeric, to taste salt, to taste white pepper, to taste 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced Halibut 4 teaspoons olive oil 4 halibut filets (6-8 ounces each) salt & pepper lemon zest herbs Vegetables 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 small zucchini, cut into 1/4inch strips 2 small yellow squash, cut into 1/4-inch strips 2 small red peppers, washed, seeded and sliced into strips Potatoes 2 cups Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes For lemon butter sauce, add white wine, lemon juice, cream, garlic, turmeric, salt and pepper to saute pan. Heat on high heat and reduce to half its original volume.

Once reduced, remove from heat and swirl in diced butter.

For halibut, heat non-stick skillet on medium-high heat with olive oil.

Hemet High receives recognition for automotive class HEMET – Hemet High School received a certification in Automobile Service Technology from the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation a branch of Automotive Service Excellence. They are the only high school in Riverside County that is AST certified. Hemet High School is also the only Automotive Youth Education System high school in the county.

Hemet High provides the Automotive Technology course through its Career and Technical Education pathway. Students enroll in the three-year program to gain an understanding of the automotive field. “Auto I” is an introduction to electrical and general systems; in “Auto II” students learn about brakes and suspension steering; and in “Auto III” students learn about engine performance then apply for an internship at a local automotive company. Throughout their time in the program, students gain hands-on experience from their teacher Vance Bloom.

Bloom has been teaching the automotive program since 1998.

Since his leadership began, the program has received various awards and recognition. In 2006, he received CTE’s Teacher of the

Year Award, the program received the Golden Bell Award in 2013 and the Riverside County Model of Academic Excellence Award in 2014.

Bloom set up a website for his students to view the curriculum online. This allows students to work at their own pace. Last year, his website was viewed 1.2 mil-

lion times. People from all around the world accessed his curriculum through this website, to teach themselves about the various components of a vehicle.

Due to the large number of openings in the automotive industry, students from Hemet High are often sought after to work for local automotive companies. Every year, Bloom hosts two advisory meetings to understand what local automotive shops are looking for in their potential employees. Due to Mr. Bloom’s communications, Hemet High students are well prepared for the industry once they

Congratulations Hemet High School on receiving the AST certification from NATEF.

Bloom also took an unusual approach to get students interested in the automotive industry. When he was applying for a grant, he was asked about his efforts to reach out to non-traditional automotive students. He worked with the dance teacher at Hemet High and set up a “non-traditional day” for students. Female students that were normally enrolled in a dance class would attend the automotive class instead, and vice-versa. After this non-traditional day, he received a lot of positive feedback and

cipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training also earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Soto is the son of Marina Vital of San Pedro, and brother of Charlie Bravo of Murrieta, and Nicolas Bravo of Oklahoma City.

He graduated in 2016 from IOKCPS K-12 Virtual Institute, Oklahoma City.

Longtime Menifee business continues to thrive while providing a valuable service to community

Elissa Collins and her staff at Elissa’s Estate Sales have been in business for 17 years, providing a valuable service for those looking to downsize or settle a Courtesy photo family estate.

MENIFEE – Elissa’s Estate Sales is still going strong after 17 years of doing business in the Menifee/Sun City and surrounding Inland Valley areas.

Browsing through all the Estates Sales going on weekly in Sun City, Menifee, Temecula, Murrieta, Perris, Hemet, Lake Elsinore and surrounding areas is one of the favorite pastimes for many during the new millennium. Seniors, young collector enthusiasts, dealers and all the general public look forward to frequenting the many organized estate sales, not only for fun and exercise, but for a chance of finding a real bargain.

So what exactly is an estate sale?

It’s simple, an estate sale is a way of liquidating the belongings of a family or estate. These are usually much more than garage or yard sales and are commonly used when someone is in need of a way to sell items due to downsizing, moving, divorce, bankruptcy or death. Estate sales benefit the heirs of the estate, or those – like seniors – who need to liquidate their belongings so they can easily move into a retirement home, assisted living, or to sell their home so they can move closer to their loved ones.

Holding an estate sale successfully requires knowledgeable

County of Riverside terminates lease for Workforce Development Center in Murrieta Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The County of Riverside has an Economic Development Agency which includes a Workforce Development Division. In October 2009 the county entered into a five-year agreement to lease 26,105 square feet in the 30100 block of Technology Drive in Murrieta, and the Workforce Development Division used that space for a Workforce Development Center.

In 2014 the lease was extended for another five years, although the lease between the county and Temecula Park, LLC, included a provision allowing either party to terminate the lease upon sufficient

written notice.

A reduced need for office space led to efforts to lease a smaller portion of the area, but after those efforts were unsuccessful a 5-0 Riverside County Board of Supervisors vote Aug. 23 approved the termination of the lease.

Most of the Workforce Development Center’s funding is from the United States Department of Labor. In 2015, the Workforce Investment Act was replaced by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act whose changes and mandates have required the county to modify its services. Additional funding must now be spent on direct client services, which reduces the need for physical office space.

The economic recovery in some sectors in conjunction with the Department of Labor’s funding formula has reduced the Federal funding of workforce development programs.

The desire to reduce costs led to proposals by the Economic Development Agency to modify the lease. A proposal sent March 3 to reduce the county’s leasehold was rejected by Temecula Park, LLC, as was a revised proposal submitted on June 28.

qualified workers who come in to do all the labor to eliminate their client’s headaches and hassles.

That’s where Elissa’s Estate Sales comes in.

Providing a specialized service, Elissa’s Estate Sales is one of the longest lasting and best established businesses of this type in the Sun City/Menifee area. Elissa Collins and her hard working team come into the home where the sale is to be given, clear out all the closets, cabinets, attics, garages, set up display tables, then clean up and organize all items to be sold. They then research and price every single item at the best and fairest price for a three-day estate sale to liquidate everything left in a household.

Collins does all the advance advertising, using such sites as EstateSales.Net and Craigslist, and even her own website that sends a flyer with photos attached, to over 2,300 frequent shoppers who have signed up at sales the last 16 years.

At-risk kids get a helping hand from local corporations MURRIETA – Community Outreach Ministry would like to thank Target Cal Oaks Plaza in Murrieta and JL Property Management of San Clemente for authorizing our 501(c)(3) nonprofit to host the E-Waste Drive that took place on Sept. 3 and 4.

Community Outreach Ministry serves children of incarcerated parents in the Southwest Detention Center, and their goal is to help break the cycle of crime, poverty, and involvement in the juvenile and criminal justice systems. The proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to create scholarships for at-risk children who will gain life experience through camping trips, holiday programs and mentoring.

The need is great for the 503,000 children with an incarcerated parent in California according to the Anne E. Casey Foundation’s April 2016 policy report “Kids Count A Shared Sentence: the devastating toll of parental incarceration on kids, families, and communities.”

These children are an underserved population who need a stronger support system while one or both

cars, golf carts and mobility scooters. Collins continues to promote her own business, is recommended on Angies’ List by past satisfied customers, is listed with the Sun City Concern and is a Member of the Menifee Chamber of Commerce.

Collins has a varied background in retail sales as a past owner of a resale shop “Puttin’ On The Ritz” in Canyon Lake and a used furniture store in Old Town Temecula “The Olive Tree Trading Post.”

Before that, she was an executive secretary in the film, publishing and advertising business in Los Angeles.

Those interested in learning more about estate sales or who are interested in using the service can reach Elissa Collins at (951) 285-6461 or sending an email to Elissasestatesales@gmail.com.

How to create a great study environment at home TEMECULA – A student’s academic performance is influenced by a host of factors, including the learning environment both inside the classroom and at home. While students may have only limited control over the environment in their classrooms, they and their parents can do much to create home study environments that are conducive to learning.

Create a “distraction-free” zone.

Today’s students are inundated with distractions. Whereas students were once most distracted by radios, televisions and the great outdoors when studying at home, nowadays children must also find time to focus on their studies with their tablets and smartphones just a stone’s throw away. When choosing a study area at home, parents can designate a “distraction-free” zone where no televisions, radios, tablets and smartphones are allowed. Children are increasingly dependent on their smartphones and tablets, and while such devices can sometimes prove useful to students that benefit is often outweighed by the distraction they present. When children study at night, be sure they turn off their smartphones and only use their tablets as study aids.

Emphasize organization. Various organization techniques can help children be more efficient when studying. Encourage children to separate their learning materials by subject, and keep a calendar or daily planner at home listing when their assignments are due and which days they will be tested.

Encourage youngsters to keep their home study areas tidy as well, as unorganized areas can make it harder to focus or force children to spend some of their study time

When choosing a study area at home, parents can designate a “distraction-free” zone where no televisions, radios, tablets and smartphones are allowed.

cleaning up.

Establish quiet hours at home.

Quiet hours at home while children are studying can help them better absorb their coursework, and that may lead to improved performance in the classroom. While it’s important that a children’ study areas remain distraction-free, it can also help if distractions outside those areas are minimized. Keep televisions and other potentially noisy distractions turned off while children are studying. If you want to catch up on a favorite television show or watch a movie, do so on your tablet instead of the television, connecting earphones so children

are not overhearing anything while they’re trying to study.

Keep healthy snacks on hand.

Hunger can be just as distracting as electronics or noisy housemates, so keep healthy snacks on hand. In lieu of unhealthy fare like potato chips or empty calories like pretzels, keep your home stocked with fruits and vegetables and proteinrich snacks like Greek yogurt. Such snacks will quell children’ hunger pangs while also providing a boost of energy.

A strong home study environment can help students do their best in the classroom.

Improve the odds of a good first time home buying experience Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Preparing to purchase a home can be a period of nerve-wracking anxiety for any homebuyer. As a first time homebuyer you have a course in front of you that is sure to include uncertainty, excitement, confusion and frustration – at times all in the same day, maybe even in the same hour.

By arming yourself with preparation and knowledge you’ll have a much better chance of having a positive home buying experience by ultimately reaching your goal of fulfilling the American dream of owning your own home.

Follow these seven steps and you’ll be well on your way to owning your own home.

Know your credit The first and perhaps the most important step of preparing to buy your first home is to know and understand your credit. Reach out to the three big credit bureaus (TransUnion, Experian, Equifax) for a free copy of your credit report, which you’re entitled to, for free, once a year.

First, familiarize yourself with

your credit history and make certain that everything is reported thoroughly and accurately. This should be an ongoing responsibility that you start well before you even think you’re ready to buy a home. By starting early, you’ll be able to take the time to make any corrections and continue to improve your credit score.

Learn how the Credit Bureaus grade you and learn to make wise decisions to constantly improve your credit score and you’ll find the hard work pays off with better mortgages and interest rates which can save you hundreds of dollars a month on your mortgage, once you finally get one.

Teamwork Buying a home requires a team of dedicated professionals. Perhaps the two most important are the real estate agent you’ll choose and the lender.

Choosing the right professionals is critical. Certainly an inexperienced first time homebuyer should not have an inexperienced agent helping them through the process. Look for an individual that is imbedded in the local community where you want to live.

He should have professional designations that indicate a pursuit for higher professional standards. Your agent should be respected within the local real estate community as most transactions require the cooperation

Preapproval The actual process of buying your first home does not start with searching for your dream home, unless you have the cash to buy outright. Experience tells us though that most first time homebuyers will require a home loan to complete the transaction.

It’s important to be preapproved by a lender before you start house hunting. The worst thing any homebuyer can do is look at the perfect home that they believe they can afford only to find out that the bank won’t loan them that much, for one reason or another.

Most home sellers in today’s market won’t even consider your offer without having already been approved for a loan. No one wants to take their home off the market only to find out two weeks later that you can’t qualify for the mortgage.

The difference between a prequalification and a preapproval is huge.

A lazy lender will often issue a prequalification letter or a “prequel” after only checking a buyer’s credit score. A preapproval is the process of the lender gathering all necessary documentation and verifying all aspects of the credit application, to include employment, income documentation and even taxes before issuing a preapproval letter will allow the homebuyer and agent to focus on homes they know they can afford.

Budget When you find the right home, it’s like love. You’ll know it and your agent will too as they’ll detect that twinkle in your eye whenever the home is mentioned. Just like falling in love, common sense is left at the curb. It’s important to know that the home you buy will fit your budget.

Just because you’re approved for one amount does not mean you have to spend every dime you’re approved for. Perhaps, with your credit score, income, down payment and debt to income ratio has you qualified for one amount that stretches your

budget. Find a payment that makes you comfortable and stick with it.

Remember, the cost of paying for your new home is not just the principal and interest mortgage payment there will be property taxes and insurance and maybe even Private Mortgage Insurance.

Your lease Are you currently leasing a house or apartment? Know when your lease expires and what the penalties are if you break the lease. Buying a home is stressful enough and not having to worry about your current living arrangement is priceless.

Have the conversation with your landlord that you are in the process of shopping for and wanting to buy your own home. Perhaps, your landlord may be willing to sell you the home you are currently renting.

Ask your landlord if you can go to a month-to-month rental for up to six months, in case you might need it. You may be able to get a series of two-month extensions, as needed.

Just understand there is a price for this and don’t balk when your landlord wants to charge you an extra 10 percent in rent.

Down payment assistance Many perceive these programs to only be available to low income buyers, but many are available for the mid-level income buyers as well through local and state housing authorities.

Some programs offer no-interest loans or grants, with a few conditions attached. When researching the various programs, be sure to ask for a list of lenders who will participate in the programs, as not all lenders will.

Inspect everything When you make the commitment to buy a home there is typically an inspection contingency that allows you to inspect every aspect of the home.

systems are all to code and functioning properly. Check the foundation for cracks and leaks. Mold is a big issue today, look for any signs of water damage where mold may be growing behind the walls. Appliances and fixtures all need to be in working order.

So many variables with any home, it’s important that you take the time and invest in good inspectors who will give you an unbiased opinion of the condition of the home you now have in escrow, because of all of your hard work in getting here.

Don’t forget the final walkthrough. Although due-diligence inspections leave room for negotiations, once you are ready to close escrow, the deed-is-done and the price is the price. What you want to make certain of is that the home is in essentially the same condition as when you first saw it and that everything it there, in place where it should be. Are the fixtures and appliances the same ones you saw?

Has there been any recent damage – maybe a hole in the wall caused by the movers? These are issues that need to be addressed before the close of escrow, otherwise you’ll probably find yourself with little option but to live with it and chalk it up to experience.

Take the time to plan your purchase and you should be very happy with the outcome. Rush any of the steps and you’re certain to have regrets.

of at least two agents.

Friends and relatives do not make the best agent. Sure there is a loyalty factor that needs to be considered as commissions are in the thousands of dollars. Some of the worst transactions I have ever witnessed have had emotional attachments of an agent that was too close to the transaction.

It’s personal enough for the buyer and seller; your professionals should not be emotionally attached as well.

Remember, all real estate is local, and you’re agent should be too for so many reasons.

There are a number of good ways to find a good lender. Your bank or credit union probably offer a home purchase loan. There are lots of discount guys that advertise on the radio and TV and then there are those who come recommended by your agent.

A successful real estate transaction requires a lot of behind-the-scenes communication and coordination between the agent and loan officer so it may be best to consider your agent’s advice and check out one of their lenders of choice. The lender will value the relationship with the agent and go above and beyond to make certain the agent is happy with their performance so they continue to receive referrals. When you find a lender on your own, you are a one shot commission and may not receive the same level of service.

GenSmart Suite at Senterra is making life easier for Veteran and his Family

Jamie Truett and her grandfather Henry E. Felton live comfortably together at Senterra by Pardee Homes. Felton enjoys recounting his Courtesy photo military days with his granddaughter.

LAKE ELSINORE - As only one of just a few surviving veterans of three wars, Henry E. Felton has a lot to be proud of. His granddaughter, Jamie Truett, is not only proud but devoted to her distinguished grandfather. He has received numerous commendations including a Citation from the President of the United States and Secretary of the Navy for extraordinary heroism at Iwo Jima in World War II. Felton’s 30-year Marine Corps career also took him to Korea and Vietnam.

Truett demonstrated her devotion to Felton by bringing him to live with her young family in a new home at Senterra by Pardee Homes in Lake Elsinore. The new home makes both their lives easier.

Truett started advocating for her grandfather on a regular basis about 18 months ago by constantly checking in on him at a nearby senior care facility, and later caring for him full time after a recent hospital stay.

“I wanted to get him out of his current situation and into our home but was anxious about finding the right solution,” said Truett. “I knew he needed family around, so we considered expanding our home in Menifee until we discovered Senterra. The idea of owning a home

with a GenSmart Suite with its own entrance and spaces for living, sleeping and eating was the perfect solution. At 94, Henry needs a little assistance with everyday life. With the GenSmart Suite he will have his own quiet space, away from the hustle and bustle of my active young children, yet he is just steps away. My ultimate goal is to make him happy and at home, and our new home is just what we wanted and needed.”

Felton, who served his country as a Master Gunnery Sgt., has many stories of historic events from his military career and generously shares them with visitors, including one about the odds he overcame after exposure to Agent Orange during time served in Vietnam.

“I was told I’d be in a wheelchair the rest of my life and then told I wouldn’t live past September when I retired in August 1970,” said Felton. “Now I can’t wait to get settled into our new home and am looking forward to Jamie learning how to cook for me.”

Located in the popular masterplanned community Canyon Hills in Lake Elsinore, Senterra offers home shoppers several bright airy one- and two-story floor plans

with many options including fourto-seven bedrooms, three-to-five bathrooms and approximately 2,392-to-4,226 square foot homes.

Hallmarks of the Senterra floor plans include generous-sized great rooms, elegant master bedroom suites, big gourmet kitchens with kitchen islands and roomy pantries, bonus rooms, game rooms and dens, space-enhancing covered patios, laundry rooms with open shelving, welcoming front porches, three- and four-bay garages and a host of LivingSmart energy-saving features and options per plan. Additional optional features include fireplaces, super kitchen islands and coffered ceilings in the master bedrooms. Pricing is from the high $300,000.

In addition to the availability of the unique GenSmart Suite, Senterra offers the option of a game room, super bonus room with wet bar, attic storage and inviting indoor/outdoor living with the addition of extended covered patios and optional outdoor media walls. The spacious Plan 1 with approximately 2,392 square feet is the largest single-story plan in Canyon Hills.

“Senterra brings a new level of sophistication and styling to this established, thriving community where residents enjoy fabulous recreation amenities, highly rated neighborhood schools and convenient shopping,” said Matt Sauls, vice president of marketing and product development for Pardee Homes. “Senterra represents the last chance to buy a new home in this location within Canyon Hills and offers home shoppers a selection of four expansive floor plans designed for gracious indoor/outdoor living.”

Ideally located west of Canyon Lake in the foothills of Lake Elsinore, the nearly 2,000-acre master-planned community includes schools, neighborhood shopping, parks and recreation centers. Creekside Park and Creekside Recreation Center have a junior Olympic-size pool, clubhouse, picnic areas, playground and half

offers convenient shopping, dining and additional services.

Fall is a great time to mulch trees and plants LONDONDERRY, NH – Tree owners often feel compelled to spray, prune or apply something to their trees and landscape plants on a regular basis. But, unless there is a specific reason to spray, prune or apply things to landscape trees, the best thing to “do” to keep trees healthy is apply a layer of composted mulch.

“Fall is a great time to be out in the yard spreading shovels-full of composted woodchip mulch under your trees,” said Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP* and staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association. “Trees with mulched root zones are usually larger, healthier, develop faster and have higher rates of survival than plants surrounded by turf grass or bare dirt. Mulches retain soil moisture and nutrients and reduce erosion and soil compaction.”

Mulched trees also have fewer weeds growing near the trunk, which reduces the need for the roots to compete for limited resources. The soil under the mulch also likely stays warmer longer into the winter and also warms faster in the spring, helping extend the growing season for plants in colder regions.

Natural mulches are a favorite among professional arborists, who view wood chips as an excellent, attractive mulch for trees. Other natural mulches include bark chips, ground bark, composted lawn clippings, leaves and straw. These mulches are high in cellulose and low in nitrogen, and should be free of weed seeds.

Good mulching How wide is wide? A good mulch

bed should extend out at least 3 feet from a tree’s trunk in all directions, though extending out to the drip line is preferred. This is where the fine, absorbing tree roots extend out into the soil, and mulch provides many health-related benefits for those roots.

Keep all mulches several inches away from the base of the tree to avoid rot and diseases.

How deep is deep? The mulch bed depth should be maintained at 2 to 4 inches.

Go ahead, cover the grass! If there is grass in the area that needs to be mulched, put a five-page layer of newspaper over the grass, get it wet, then add mulch on top (this will help keep the grass from growing up through the mulch).

Use the right mulch. For poor soils, use well-composted mulch to build up the nutrients. Soils that are healthy will do fine with a highly stable softwood bark (such as cypress bark), which doesn’t break down as easily.

Measure the pH content. Checking the pH content of the mulch ensures it is compatible with the tree and soil.

Bad mulching No volcanoes, please! The biggest no-no when mulching is to create a “mulch volcano” that is piled high around the base of the tree. This practice traps moisture around the tree trunk and root flare leading to decay and, eventually, structural failure.

Avoid fine mulch. Thick blankets of fine mulch can become matted and prevent the penetration of water and air.

Don’t let mulch sour. Low oxygen

Wood chips are an excellent, attractive mulch for trees.

levels (from packed mulch) creates a toxic “sour” mulch - which may give off pungent odors. Even worse, the compounds produced during the souring process (methanol and acetic acid) can kill young plants.

Don’t keep adding new mulch on top of the old. While mulch does decompose, it is not good to accumulate excessive mulch year after year by adding fresh mulch every spring. To get the look of fresh mulch, break up the old with a rake, and only add a layer of new on top if there is less than four inches in depth.

What can a homeowner do?

A professional arborist can assess a homeowner’s landscape and work with them to determine the best trees to plant. Contact the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), a public and professional resource on trees and arboriculture since 1938.

It has more than 2,300 member tree care firms and affiliated companies who recognize stringent safety and performance standards and who are required to carry liability insurance.

TCIA has the nation’s only accreditation program that helps consumers find tree care companies that have

Mark Stout/Thinkstock photo

been inspected and accredited based on: adherence to industry standards for quality and safety; maintenance of trained, professional staff; and dedication to ethics and quality in business practices.

An easy way to find a tree care service provider is to use the “Locate Your Local TCIA Member Companies” program by calling (800) 7332622 or by doing a ZIP code search on www.treecaretips.org. * Board Certified Master Arborist, Certified Treecare Safety Professional
