Funds, visibility raised in waning days of Temecula City Council election Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar and challenger Adam Ruiz lead the field in fundraising as a crowded pack of hopefuls scramble for two open council seats.

The uneven surge in donations and loans has given some candidates a marketing edge, but others are relying on name recognition, word-of-mouth and other attentionwinning means in the waning days of the Nov. 8 contest.

“I never considered this an easy task,” said Skylar Temple, a college student who is the youngest candidate in the race. He said he was inspired to run for office as a high school student participating in a youth in government program.

“I knew there was going to be some big money moving around in this election,” he said.

He is one of nine candidates, the

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.

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.

HEMET – Over 1,000 pounds of much needed food and a $10,000.00 check have been delivered by the employees of McCrometer to Jim Lineberger, director of the Hemet Community Pantry, which provides assistance to needy families and the homeless in Hemet and the surrounding San Jacinto Valley communities.

“We’re extremely proud of the generous support provided by the hard working employees of McCrometer to the Hemet Community Pantry. As an employer in the community, McCrometer wants to make a difference locally so that no child or adult lives in hunger,” said Steve Bell, president of McCrometer.

The “McCrometer Can Make A Difference” campaign began on a hot August day with hundreds of employees enjoying cold popsicles.

The goal of the campaign was to collect 600 pounds of food for the Hemet Community Pantry in 30 days.

The McCrometer employees generously exceeded the goal while having fun at the same time.

For their efforts in exceeding the goal, the employees are invited to a special “Dunk the President” event, which is planned for October.

The Hemet Community Pantry is primarily a food bank, but also offers a variety of other programs to assist its clients with emergency housing, utility shut-off and refer-

rals to other community agencies.

Located at 521 N. San Jacinto St. in Hemet, the organization’s offices are open from 9-11:30 a.m., Monday thru Thursday.

Founded over 60 years ago in Hemet, California, McCrometer is a global leader in industrial liquid flow measurement and wireless technology. The company’s flow meters are in service worldwide supporting agriculture and irrigation, municipal and industrial water and wastewater, oil/gas production and petrochemical refining, electric power generation and large institutional facilities.

COUNCIL from page A-1 most in recent years for a Temecula council race.

Temple is one of two candidates in the race who have submitted forms to the city indicating they expect to raise or spend less than $2,000. His counterpart in that category is Jeff Frichner, a businessman, educator and disabled veteran.

The other candidates have spent varying amounts.

Naggar, a development consultant, led the pack with more than $57,000 raised by the close of the most recent reporting period. He also had the most cash on hand – nearly $31,300, as the candidates enter the final leg of the race.

Ruiz is second, raising more than $29,000 by the close of the reporting period that ended Sept.

24. He is a real estate and mortgage broker who has deep ties to the business community. He had nearly $7,000 left for the final stage of the campaign.

Two incumbents are seeking to return to the council.

One of them, Naggar, has easily won his past re-election bids.

The other incumbent, Michael McCracken, may be vulnerable because he was appointed to his seat in April 2015.

McCracken, a city parks commissioner for seven years, is staging his first bid for public office. He reported nearly $4,900 in donations and had $450 left for the close of the campaign.

Unlike most cities in the region, Temecula’s council has experienced scant turnover since it became a city in December 1989.

For the most part, Temecula voters have been comfortable returning

control and general requests at any time from any location on their mobile devices. The app also provides the latest city news and information, along with road closures and construction updates.

Menifee created the new app as part of the city’s existing website contract to improve customer service for residents. All requests made via the mobile app are queued into a tracking system and then followed through completion, notifying users about the

progress of their request.

“This is another great option the city has developed to connect with our residents,” Mayor Scott Mann said. “We literally put city hall in our residents’ hands to continue providing excellent customer service for our community.”

incumbents to office.

As about 45 candidates can attest, ousting an incumbent has proven to be a rare feat. Just 14 people have served on Temecula’s five-member council over the city’s history.

Only two incumbents, Sam Pratt and Karel Lindemans, have lost a re-election bid since incorporation.

The other current candidates are familiar names or faces around city hall or the local political scene.

They are Ron Bradley, James “Stew” Stewart, Angel Garcia and James Cooley.

Bradley served as Temecula’s city manager from 1994 to 1998 and later as a chairman of its chamber of commerce. His government resume spans more than 45 years following his early work as a police officer. Besides Temecula, he also worked as a city manager or interim manager for La Mesa, Oceanside, Murrieta and Hemet Bradley raised nearly $12,800.

But the bulk of it, $10,000, was a loan he made to his campaign.

Bradley has garnered key political endorsements, sent frequent emails blast and put out calls for campaign volunteers. He entered the last leg of the campaign with nearly $2,700.

Stewart, who owns a string of barber shops, unsuccessfully ran for the council in 2006 and 2008.

Then he switched his political focus and won a seat on the Rancho California Water District governing board. He served one term from 2011 to 2015.

Stewart has not accepted or received any campaign donations, according to his disclosure forms.

He had spent $915 of his own money on his campaign before the Sept. 24 reporting deadline.

Garcia finished fourth in the November 2014 council race for three open seats. He owns a marketing company and has been vocal on a range of issues. He raised nearly $2,500 during the initial phase of the campaign and had $625 left for the last stage.

At least four times, Cooley has unsuccessfully applied for positions on Temecula commissions.

He is Navy veteran who holds advanced degrees and is active in many community groups. He serves as nonprofit’s chief executive and president.

Cooley donated $10,100 to his council campaign. He entered the final segment of the race with $6,500.

Besides the large field of candidates, several new political alliances and wrinkles have surfaced in this campaign.

Bernie Truax, a prominent Old Town developer and property owner, has established himself as a political presence.

He loaned $17,500 to Ruiz’s campaign and donated $300 to McCracken. Truax also held meetthe-candidate events for Ruiz and Bradley at top of his signature Old Town building.

Bradley hired a political marketing firm that is headed by Lori Stone, the sister of state Sen. Jeff Stone, R-Murrieta. Bradley’s campaign materials show him shaking hands with Sen. Stone, who launched his political career from the Temecula council.

Ruiz and Garcia have each received $1,000 from Grow Elect, a political action committee that supports Latino Republican candidates seeking local and state government posts.

Temecula officials link quality of life to sales tax increase vote Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A coalition of Temecula officials and business leaders say their city’s future quality of life hinges on the outcome of a proposed sales tax increase that anchors the Nov. 8 general election ballot.

However, that pitch and lopsided campaign spending have not swayed a cadre of vocal foes.

Other residents and business owners remain on the fence.

Stan Azevedo says he’s still undecided. But a recent forum on the proposed measure nudged him slightly off the “hard no” stance he had initially taken. “I definitely want to do more research, ask some more questions,” said Azevedo, vice president of La Masters of Fine Jewelry in Temecula. He was among about a dozen people who attended a recent presentation on the proposed 1 percent

sales tax hike.

Azevedo said his store’s customers sometimes compare sales tax rates from one city to another when they make big ticket purchases. Thus the upcoming measure is a pocketbook issue for his family owned business, he said.

“This (forum) was helpful to me,” he said at the close of the Sept. 28 Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce function. “It gave me more insight into what I have been reading.”

The chamber is a key advocate of Measure S. If approved by a majority of voters, the measure would pump an additional $23 million a year into a city fund that pays for police, fire, public works, planning and a range of other services.

A voter rejection, Temecula officials say, could trigger sharp budget cuts in a few years that would weaken key services and heighten the city’s infrastructure

woes.

“Bottom line, this is an investment in our quality of life,” Councilman Matt Rahn said during the chamber forum.

Rahn has been a regular participant at the sales tax forums. He has also tapped his existing campaign account to donate $1,000 to the Yes on S effort.

In addition to local forums, Measure S is playing out at Temecula intersections. Brightly colored signs have been planted throughout the city by both sides of the issue.

The Yes on S Committee raised $12,200 for their outreach effort through Sept. 24, according to the latest financial disclosure documents filed with the city.

The group had spent $2,654 on street signs and Facebook ads before the recent reporting deadline. That left more than $9,500 available in the account for a lastminute flurry of activity.

The top donors during that period, at $4,000 each, were a San Diego-based developer and the company that provides trash collection services to Temecula and other cities.

Besides Rahn, the other $1,000 donors were Temecula Creek Inn, Rancon Real Estate and the political committee formed by longtime Councilman Jeff Comerchero.

Conversely, opponents of the measure have told the city they expect to spend less than $2,000.

Reaching that threshold would require them to file a report that identifies the source of the donations that have funded their roadside signs.

Temecula is not the only city in western Riverside County that is dotted by campaign signs lob-

bying for or against a sales tax increase. Similar measures seeking 1 percent increases are on the Nov. 8 ballot in Menifee, Hemet and Riverside.

Those measures were placed on the ballot after years of discussions over how California cities have been pummeled by the recession, revenue losses to the state and the elimination of a popular public financing tool that targeted blight and fueled economic development.

To date, only three of the county’s 28 cities have enacted increases beyond the share of sales taxes that are apportioned according to state law.

The desert cities of Palm Springs, Coachella and Cathedral City each collect an extra 1 percent.

Currently, an 8 percent sales tax rate is paid by most consumers in the county. Of that amount, 4 and one-quarter percent goes to the state, 2 and one-quarter percent goes to the county and half percent is earmarked for regional and countywide road and bridge improvements. Temecula and 24 other cities currently receive 1 percent of the total collected.

Sales taxes represent about half Temecula’s operations revenue.

That category dwarfs the city’s property tax revenues, which total about 11 percent of its nearly $70 million operations budget for the fiscal year that began July 1.

Temecula council members unanimously voted in July to spend about $137,000 to put the tax measure on the ballot. But state law prevents the city from spending funds to promote the measure’s passage.

City Attorney Peter Thorson has said a majority of voters will

be sufficient to approve the measure, not a two-thirds margin as is required with some tax increases.

That is because the funds generated by the proposed sales tax increase could be used for a range of city services rather than one specific use, he said.

Most of the city’s promotional efforts have centered on presentations to business and service groups. The recent chamber forum was one of two such events held the same day.

Rahn was joined at the chamber forum by Maryann Edwards, a council colleague. City Manager Aaron Adams led the audience through a Power Point presentation.

Azevedo and other attendees grilled Adams on why the tax is needed, what programs or services it would fund and why the council is seeking a 1 percent increase.

“It creates a solid foundation for the next three decades,” Adams replied. “It allows us to do a lot of things.”

Without the measure’s passage, he said, nine vacant police positions will remain unfilled, a completed fire station will remain unstaffed and the renovation and opening of a new community center will continue to be mothballed.

City officials predict revenues will exceed expenditures by a mere $270,288 in the current fiscal year. Spending is projected to surpass revenues by about $700,000 the following year.

That deficit is expected to grow to about $4.3 million by fiscal year 2020-21, according to city projections.

City officials warn that their existing surplus funds would be quickly depleted by mounting public safety, infrastructure and maintenance costs as the city ages.

Conversely, foes label the measure a “political money grab.”

The measure’s opponents are led by Angel Garcia and Paul Jacobs. Together they prepared the ballot argument that is aimed at blunting support for the measure.

“Measure S has consequences, potentially driving new businesses, existing customers and employment opportunities to other communities,” they said in the statement.

Garcia is a candidate in the Nov. 8 council election. He finished fourth in the November 2014 council race, when three seats were up for grabs.

Jacobs is a former city traffic commissioner who unsuccessfully ran for the council in the past. He was the lone audience member to speak out against the measure when the council voted in July to place the proposed tax increase on the ballot.

Some of the other candidates in the upcoming council race have also cited their opposition to the tax increase.

Statewide ballot measures would increase taxes Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Editor’s Note; This is the first in a series of articles exploring the various statewide ballot measures that will go before voters for approval Nov. 8. In this article, we will present Prop 55 and Prop 56, both will increase taxes for California residents.

Prop 55 The California Extension of the Proposition 30 Income Tax Increase Initiative, also known as Proposition 55, is on the Nov. 8, ballot in California as an initiated constitutional amendment. A “yes” vote supports extending the personal income tax increases on incomes over $250,000 approved in 2012 for 12 years in order to fund education and health care. A “no” vote opposes extending the personal income tax increases on incomes over $250,000 approved in 2012 for 12 years, allowing the tax increase to expire in 2019.

According to text found on ballotpedia.com, about 89 percent of revenues from the tax increase would go toward K-12 schools and 11 percent to state community colleges. An additional $2 billion would be allocated in certain years to Medi-Cal and other health programs.

Ballotpedia reports that Prop 30, approved in 2012, was an income tax that also had a sales tax component that Prop 55 would not extend.

Without extension through approval of Prop 55 or another like it, the income tax approved under Prop 30 was designed to be phased out starting in 2018. Prop 30 raised about $6 billion per year since it was approved in 2012.

Prop 55 would continue the tax rates instituted by Prop 30 through 2030. The tax increase impacts the 1.5 percent of Californians with a single income filing of at least $263,000 or a joint income filing of at least $526,000.

In California, the income tax bracket applies to a filers portion of income within that bracket. The Official Voter Information Guide

provides an example: “The amount of increased taxes paid by high-income taxpayers would depend upon their taxable income. For example, if this measure passes, a single person with taxable income of $300,000 would pay an extra 1 percent on their income between $263,000 and $300,000.

This works out to a tax increase of $370 for this person.”

To date, supporters include the likes of Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, State Superintendent Tom Torlakson, and the California Democratic Party.

Supporters say that Prop 55 would not raise taxes for anyone, would lower the sales tax, only affect the wealthiest Californians and provides strict accountability and transparency standards ensuring that money goes to local schools while preventing budget cuts and continue to restore funding lost during the recession.

Opponents include Senator John Moorlach, the California Republican Party and the California Chamber of Commerce. Opponents say that Prop 55 would extend a measure that was supposed to be temporary, amounting to a broken promise made by politicians, extend taxes during a time when higher taxes are not necessary, hurt small businesses and favor special interests and politicians.

of $0.87 per pack of cigarettes. The mean or average state tobacco tax is $1.65. Fourteen states have lower tobacco taxes than California, while 35 states and D.C. have higher taxes.

The federal government levies a $1.01 tobacco tax in 2016.

Revenue from the current state tax on tobacco goes to the General Fund, tobacco prevention, health care services for low-income persons, environmental protection, breast cancer screenings and research, and early childhood development programs.

Prop 56 would increase the tobacco tax by $2 bringing the total up to $2.87 per pack of cigarettes. The tax would also be levied on other tobacco products and e-cigarettes, too.

Revenue from the additional $2.00

Prop 56 The California Proposition 56, Tobacco Tax Increase (#15-0081A1) will be on the Nov. 8, ballot in California as a combined initiated constitutional amendment and state statute. A “yes” vote favors increasing the cigarette tax by $2 per pack, with equivalent increases on other tobacco products and electronic cigarettes.

A “no vote opposes increasing the cigarette tax by $2 per pack, with equivalent increases on other tobacco products and electronic cigarettes.

According to ballotpedia.com, initiatives to increase taxes on tobacco products are also on the ballot in Colorado as Amendment 73, Missouri as Proposition A and Amendment 3, and North Dakota as Measure 4 in 2016.

Ballotpedia reports that California currently has a tobacco excise tax

tax would be allocated to physician training, prevention and treatment of dental diseases, Medi-Cal, tobaccouse prevention, research into cancer, heart and lung diseases, and other tobacco-related diseases, and school programs focusing on tobacco-use prevention and reduction. Proposition 56 does not change how the 87 cent tobacco tax is allocated.

Supporters include Secretary of State Alex Padilla, the California Democratic Party and California League of Conservation Voters. Supporters say Prop 56 would reduce tobacco-related health care costs and would help pay for those costs, prevent youth smoking and would also address tobacco marketing aimed at youth as a target customer.

In addition, the proposition includes transparency and accountability safeguards for use of the tax revenue generated.

Opposition to Prop 56 include the California Republican Party, the California Taxpayers Association and the Inland Empire Taxpayers Association. Opponents say the proposition would fund insurance companies and special interests more than it would fund treatments for smoking related illnesses and youth smoking prevention, would not allocate funds for improving schools and would waste money on overhead and bureaucracy.

HS Football: Week Six action centered on historic Southwestern League win JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

As the dust settled at the end of the night during prep football action in Week Six, which was also the first game of league for most of the football teams in Southwest Riverside County, all eyes were focused on the showdown that was taking place at Murrieta Valley High School.

It didn’t matter the league or the school that was playing, the social media world was on fire as everybody wanted to know what was going on between the Nighthawks and the Vista Murrieta Broncos. A seven year, 35-game league win streak was being defended on one side and on the other, a team hungry to take away a win that could set up their program for its first Southwestern League title since sharing it in 2005 with Temescal Canyon.

A game which saw the Nighthawks do the unthinkable is the focus of this week’s Game of the Week. The homecoming game curse struck again, this time for Temecula Valley as the Murrieta Mesa Rams took the Golden Bears to the dance and then left them there to find a ride home.

Great Oak came away with the other win on the night, making quick work of Chaparral, who couldn’t put much together on the road.

In the Sunbelt League, four teams went into Week Six undefeated and only two came out unscathed. Heritage and Paloma Valley stayed on top of the standings with crushing wins. Rancho Christian and Calvary Murrieta in the South Valley League stayed ahead of the pack and opened up league with wins for their schools, the Mountain Pass League saw San Jacinto remain the only undefeated team win as Citrus Hill evened their season record with their first league win.

Linfield out of the Ambassador League had a convincing win, Hamilton of the Arrowhead League could not fight off Mountain Empire, luckily it wasn’t a league game, and the two 8-Man schools, Cal Lu and Cornerstone, won and loss, but neither game counted toward their league records.

Game of the Week Vista Murrieta (4-2, 0-1) – 37 Murrieta Valley (4-2, 1-0) – 42 In front of a capacity crowd of thousands, the Nighthawks went toe-to-toe with visiting perennial Southwestern League Champions, the Vista Murrieta Broncos, and delivered a knock-out punch to the #12-ranked team in the state of California. The Broncos’ loss snapped a 35-game league win streak that dated back almost eight years to November 2008, when they lost 10-3, also to the Nighthawks. The team has also reached the CIF-SS Championship game seven consecutive years.

Vista Murrieta drew first blood on a 30-yard TD pass from Karson Greeley to Khalil Shakir on the first drive of the game. The Nighthawks’ first drive, helped by three consecu-

tive penalties, was stopped short at the Broncos 26 on an interception

by Javelin Guidry.

Two plays later Nighthawks’ senior corner back Tanner Hoyt returned the favor with a 30-yard picksix to even the score at 7-7. It was a back and forth affair just like this all night until the final seconds of the game. Murrieta Valley’s sophomore QB, Hank Bachmeier, was held to his lowest passing yardage of the year, 160 yards on 14-of-19 completions with one interception. He did however rush for almost 100 yards.

“The numbers don’t matter,” said Bachmeier, “It’s all about the “W” and the team effort. We made history tonight.”

Senior Nighthawk receiver Maurice Bell caught seven of those passes for 63 yards and senior transfer, Olita “Lika” Palmer, carried the ball 30 times for 178 yards and four TD’s.

The Nighthawk defense forced four Broncos turnovers, which resulted in three scores.

Vista Murrieta put up powerful numbers in the game as Greeley threw for 165 yards (13 of 24) and one TD, passing to six different receivers. Cole Dubots led all rushers with 190 yards on 16 carries, despite not playing after the third quarter.

“Games like this are why we played such a tough preseason schedule,” said Murrieta Valley Head Coach George Wilson, “Even the losses help.”

The Nighthawks’ two preseason losses include Rancho Cucamonga, the #4-ranked team in CIF-SS Division 1 and Grandview, the #4-ranked team in the state of Colorado.

“For me, this is just another win,” said Wilson, “But for the community it seems to be huge.” Wilson, who recently came over from Rancho Verde, admitted he has not been

around long enough to understand the hype, “I have no history.”

For players, parents and fans, it was a long-awaited jubilant celebration as they rushed the field when the final buzzer sounded. “It was like finally punching the playground bully,” said one parent.

“I’m on cloud nine!” exclaimed Bachmeier. “We played our hearts out to beat a great Vista Murrieta team. This is a team effort, a family effort – coaches, O-line, defense . . . we all worked so hard to get here.

It just came down to believing and executing.”

Now, with back-to-back upset wins over two top 25 SoCal teams,

which includes a 70-62 shootout with Oaks Christian the week before, the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks soared in the rankings to #13 in SoCal and #10 in the Southern Section and are now the top-ranked team in CIF-SS Division 2.

With the upset win over Vista Murrieta, Murrieta Valley has a shot at a Southwestern League Championship. Murrieta Valley (42) travels to Chaparral this week.

The Pumas (1-5) lost 36-0 at Great Oak last week. Vista Murrieta (4-2) travels to Murrieta Mesa (4-2) who manhandled Temecula Valley 42-7.

Lakeside’s Emma Merriweather commits to Long Beach State

Westman, Francisco, Richards, Lilov win Fallbrook Fall Junior Satellite Tournament divisions Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Head Coach Anthony Williams confirmed recently that Lakeside senior girls’ basketball standout, Emma Merriweather, has verbally

committed to Long Beach State.

Merriweather, who stands 6-foot4, is an All-CIF-Southern Section Division 3AA standout center. She averaged double digits in both points and rebounds last year and played a leading role in the Lancers

reaching the CIF-State Division 3 championship game.

After visiting both schools, Merriweather chose Long Beach State over UNLV and is expected to sign her letter-of-intent during the November signing period.

The tennis players who won division championships in the 32nd annual Fallbrook Fall Junior Satellite Tournament which took place Sept.

9-11 at the Fallbrook Tennis Club included Temecula’s Thomas Westman, Murrieta’s Joseph Francisco, Hemet’s Heather Richards and Temecula’s Nicholas Lilov.

Westman won the Boys 16 Singles title, Francisco was the Boys 14 Singles champion, Richards prevailed in the Girls 14 Singles division, and Lilov took home the Boys 10 Singles championship.

The Girls 14 Singles and Boys 10 Singles divisions involved round-robin play while the Boys 16 Singles and Boys 14 Singles competition utilized elimination brackets. Westman faced secondseeded Matthew Quade of Carlsbad in the semifinals, and in both sets of the match each player won six

games before Westman won the tiebreaking game for a 7-6 victory.

Westman then battled top-seeded Ian Collins of Carlsbad in the championship match and prevailed in 6-1 and 6-0 sets.

Francisco won his 6-1, 6-1 semifinal against Alex Atwell of Rancho Santa Fe to set up a championship match against Nathan Buturla of Oceanside. Francisco defeated Buturla in a 6-4 set to open the match, but Buturla won a 6-4 set to even the match and force a third set which was decided by two games rather than a tiebreaking game. The third set required 20 games with Francisco taking the 11-9 victory.

Murrieta’s Ashley Duncan reached the Girls 16 Singles final with a 6-0, 6-0 semifinal victory against Hemet’s Zoe Marsh, but Duncan then lost a 6-3, 6-0 match to La Jolla’s Joyce Passananti which determined the division champion.

HS Girls Volleyball: Southwestern League teams battle through first round of match-up’s

Temecula Valley’s Peyton McBride (12) led the Lady Golden Bears past Chaparral in a five set thriller Thursday, Oct. 6.

Tuesday, Oct. 4, to Murrieta Valley High School Thursday.

The Lady Rams went the distance with the Nighthawks, prevailing 3-2 in not only their first win of league this season, but their first ever league win in the school’s eight-year history.

“Mesa came out ready to play and did a great job! They were pursuing every ball and wanted every point, so all credit goes to them. We struggled with serve receive and on defense in the back row and just weren’t making the proper adjustments to make plays and Mesa capitalized every time,” said Murrieta Valley head coach, J.D. Miranda.

Victoria Bailey (18), Carley Kruse (13) and Rebecca Rendahl (10) led the Lady Nighthawks in Kills as Victoria Bailey (24) and Cynthia Arango (18) kept Murrieta Valley in the game the best they could with their backcourt digs.

As for the team making some noise in the valley, Murrieta Mesa (15-9, 1-4) was led on all fronts by sophomore Kali Uhl, who lit up the board with 36 kills and 25 digs against the Lady Nighthawks. Teammates Savanah Esteban (58 assists) and Hannah Watje (14 blocks) helped in key areas for Murrieta Mesa, but a critical play by sophomore Kiara Schmidt late in the final set shifted the momentum back to the Lady Rams as Murrieta Valley was heating up.

Schmidt, who had 23 digs on the night, had to run down a ball from across the court, nearly against the wall, to get it back in play, which sent the Mesa fans into a frenzy.

“If you’re a part of this team you could see this coming. After the first loss of league to Temecula Valley the girls continued to apply themselves at practice. We were close to extending the next two matches vs. Vista and Great Oak, then the five gamer with Chaparral was energizing. I’m so proud of this group and feel honored to be a part of this experience, now I want them to be greedy,” said Murrieta Mesa head coach, Pat Manning.

The second and final round of Southwestern League games take place starting Tuesday, Oct. 11.

Pink Out games and senior nights will be major factors in crowd support for these finals games and each team will need all the support they can get as the push for the postseason plays out. Match times are set for 5:30 p.m. Article contributions made by Valley News Sports intern Jordan Reyes.

Just as quickly as the girls’ volleyball season got here, it soon will be over and though there is a clear front runner, the rest of the pack is absolutely fighting their way through the trenches to get to the post season.

Temecula Valley (16-2, 5-0) is out in front after picking off each team in the Southwestern League in the first round of match-up’s, but there are some strong teams ready to pounce, given the opportunity. Chaparral (10-7, 2-3) proved just that Thursday, Oct. 4, taking the Lady Golden Bears to a well fought fifth set. Temecula Valley pulled out the win behind dominating efforts by junior Peyton McBride (20 kills, 17 digs) and freshman Madison Endsley (17 kills, 14 digs), who verbally committed to the University of Nebraska late last week, but Head Coach Leanna Bush knows the competition is getting fierce.

“We are not taking anyone for granted. Every team in this league knows how to win and that says a lot about the programs in this valley,” exclaimed Bush.

Vista Murrieta (11-5, 4-1), who beat Great Oak 3-1 Thursday, is close behind the Lady Golden Bears in the standings, and even took a set away from them in their 3-1 loss Tuesday, Oct. 4, but even the Lady Broncos know their team needs to work hard to stay in the hunt.

“It’s going to be an interesting next three weeks as everybody bares down for these final games,” said Kristen Cooke, head coach at Vista Murrieta.

Great Oak, Chaparral, Murrieta Valley and Murrieta Mesa all find themselves with some hope as each team continues to stay in the fight.

Murrieta Valley (15-9, 1-4) turned some heads this week with a huge win over Great Oak (6-4, 2-3) Tuesday, Oct. 4. Victoria Bailey had 13 kills and 12 digs in the game and teammate Rebecca Rendahl led all Lady Nighthawk scorers with 17 kills and 5 blocks.

Fast forward two days and it would be Murrieta Mesa making some noise from the bottom of the standings as they carried their enthusiasm over from a five set battle with Chaparral

interested in the revenue than in the well-being of the patient. No quality program will require payment either to refer a patient or to obtain one.

Their main interest should be the best interests of the patient and nothing else. However, patient brokering is a common everyday occurrence.

Other forms of illegal activity include fraudulent drug testing and billing. While call centers, staffed by salespeople rather than by clinicians, will say or do anything to boost their commission and get that person in the door. The scams have become the focus of the Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes for California, along with law enforcement agencies like the California Department of Justice. Charges have been filed, and many more are likely to follow.

Obtaining assistance, for yourself or a loved one who has a substance abuse problem, can be a frustrating and even dangerous endeavor. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act and the parity mandate that accompanied it, the door opened for anyone to open a treatment facility, with or without, education, experience or the best interests of the patient. Slowly, insurance carriers, law enforcement and the public have begun to learn that dialing that number advertising the “best” treatment has become a risky decision with potentially grave consequences.

Currently, there are patient brokers, who sell a patient with insurance to a treatment program for approximately $5,000 to $8,000.

Any treatment provider that is willing to pay that fee is not only breaking the law, but likely is providing the poorest level of treatment available. By necessity, they have identified themselves as being more

a day’s use. Pain pills have been replaced by cheap accessible heroin, and law enforcement does not have the manpower to eradicate it as fast as it is flooding local streets.

Simultaneously, the internet is flooded with treatment center advertisers, who are willing to pay the highest prices to become the most visible facility as their ads promise all kinds of guarantees of recovery.

All addiction carries enormous risks, but heroin and other opiates are especially lethal because of the ease with which it kills with a slight miscalculation. Additionally, the withdrawal process requires not just a few weeks of misery, but rather, month upon month of post acute withdrawal syndrome that maintains the individual in a state of anhedonia or the inability to experience pleasure, due to their altered brain chemistry from the use of opiates.

In the past, the recovery rate has been in the single digits, and today, 78 people a day die from overdoses to opioids, which is more than those who die from auto accidents.

Increasing the odds of success is important for a person seeking rehabilitation treatment, but requires some research on their part. Recovery results can be as high as 70 percent by integrating quality substance abuse treatment with proper medications that return the brain to a state of normalcy, assisting the addict in finding support groups in the community and long lost emotions that have become the drive of their addiction. These two elements won’t happen as long as the patient is in withdrawal or under the

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’

This is why Susan G. Komen has committed to one big, bold goal, to reduce the current number of breast cancer deaths by 50 percent in the U.S. in the next decade.

By drawing on unparalleled leadership in research and advocacy, by working to ensure that every person has access to, and receives, timely high-quality breast cancer care, Komen is bringing a heightened focus to strategic objectives, so as to more quickly achieve the vision of a world without breast cancer.

In the Inland Empire, this vision remains strong. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, you will find support at businesses throughout the community, including car dealerships like Rock Honda, Ford of Upland, Mercedes-Benz of Ontario and Mercedes-Benz of Temecula. Companies like Abbott Vascular, Pechanga Resort & Casino, and Pala Casino are encouraging donations from employees by participating in bake sales and through payroll deduction. Businesses small and large are getting on board, like Burke & Redford Orthodontists, who are turning their office pink and encouraging staff and patients to attend the 18th Annual Inland Empire Race for the Cure at Lake Elsinore

gram, then insure they are licensed to provide a medically supervised stabilization or detox. Unfortunately, many programs operate under the guise of a non-medical detox certification. With this certification, they are not allowed to have medically trained staff or use medications in the treatment process. If someone needs to detox, it is important that they have people who understand the inherent dangers of this lifethreatening physiological transition.

Drugs like Xanax and others in the same drug family can cause seizures when discontinued abruptly.

The phrase non-medical detox is an oxymoron; it is not possible to do safe, careful detox without the integration of medically trained personnel. There is both inpatient and outpatient medically staffed detox programs, but statements like “sub-acute detox” are manufactured by the provider to give the appearance that they are staffed correctly.

Above all, don’t think that the substance dependency is going to just go away because the user says that they can stop. Without help, substance abuse is like a roulette wheel; it doesn’t matter whether the substance is heroin or alcohol.

It is very easy to define addiction.

Does the substance use cause any problems in an individual’s functioning, i.e., legally, with employment, school, health, finances or within the family? And despite these problems and the pain caused, does the individual continue to return to using the substance? In short, “an alcoholic is someone who ought not drink.”

influence. They require a period of stabilization that includes the family in their own recovery process. The important thing to know is that your insurance carrier can be your lifeline to quality care.

The first step is to contact the health insurance company and find a program that is in-network and close to the local community. Another source could be an employee assistance program. Their job is to vet the programs before they refer employees which helps insure employees have access to state of the art quality health care. Additionally, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, a federal agency that keeps a list of providers that use best practice protocols, including Medication Assisted Treatment. The state agencies may be a list of licensed programs, but unfortunately the current regulations and laws are extremely loose.

They are trying to tighten them up but often lack the manpower and legislative clout.

The very best way to judge the success of any program is to go see it in person before giving them any money. Consider the manner and quality of the people providing care to patients. Immediacy is not the most important component, at this point, accuracy is. Take the time to see who will be caring for the patient and how that care will be rendered, including a schedule of daily activities. If patients spend most of their day at the gym or AA meetings, then look for another program.

If opiates or Xanax are included in the substance abuse treatment pro-

TVUSD Candidate Forum highlights message of support for governing board Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The turnout was light and the forum brief, but three candidates for two vacant seats on the Temecula Valley Unified School Board were intent on delivering their messages for improving the district’s schools to the parents and educators attending Monday, Oct. 3.

One candidate Lee Darling, a 2007 graduate of Great Oak High School, is running unopposed for the TVUSD Area 1 area seat now occupied by Dr. Allen Pulsifer. Darling and the other two candidates, incumbent Kristi Rutz-Robbins and Ronald Prentiss were called upon to answer three questions about their views on the issues now facing the 33,000 student school district during the district candidate forum in the Temecula City Hall chambers.

Ruiz-Robbins and Prentiss are both running for the Area 5 seat.

The five TVUSD Board members are elected by a By-Trustee Election System requiring those candidates running living within the specific at large district that took effect in the 2016-17 election cycle. There are five districts in the system.

Roland Skumawitz, educator and community leader, was the moderator of the forum. The forum

The three candidates for two vacancies on the Temecula Valley Unified School District board of trustees prepare for a limited debate at a Temecula Valley Council Parent Teachers Association forum at the Temecula City Council Chambers Oct.3. The candidates from left are Area 5 candidate Ronald Prentice, Lee Darling Area 1 unopposed candidate, and Area 5 incumbent Kristi Rutz-Robbins. Tony Ault photo

was presented by the Temecula Valley Council Parent Teachers Association.

The first question was in regard to the number one issue facing the school district.

Darling said the board is facing tough financial decisions and urged support of Propositions 51 and 55 on the Nov. 8 ballot. Both RutzRobbins and Prentiss agreed.

Proposition 51 authorizes $6 billion in general obligations bonds

that will provide for construction, modernization of public schools; provide $1 million for charter and vocational education schools; and $2 billion for state community college facilities. Proposition 55 extends by 12 years, tax increases in state personal income for high income earners allocating 89 percent of the collected tax money to K-12 public schools, 11 percent to community colleges and up to $2 billion a year to certain healthcare

programs.

The second question was in what does the district do well and what needs to be done to improve the local schools.

Prentice said the district has done well in helping disadvantaged children and generally does everything well. He noted the district does need to do more in getting families engaged with the schools their children attend and help them understand it is linked to “student success.”

Darling said he believed that the district’s high schools were high performing but was concerned why Great Oak High School was much higher than the other two larger high schools.

Rutz-Robbins praised the performances of all the schools, citing how the current board has done well in keeping the standards high.

She believed that even higher performance from all the schools from elementary up can be achieved through reinstating or added a full range of performing arts programs.

The third question asked the candidates how they would react in when a 4 to 1 vote was cast against their own opinion.

Rutz-Robbins said if it was a 4-1 decision she would go with whatever policy was approved.

Darling said they need to support the boards majority decision.

Prentice said they would need to support majority no matter what.

A member of the audience questioned how they would respond to the classified and certificated employees in critical issues.

Prentice said he would look for a consensus between the employees and the board but would have to respond to the community at large.

Rutz-Rollins said she would always remember their role as a community representative and still support the board.

Darling said the level of transparency between the community and the board needed to be better. We are obligated to best serve the majority.

Darling in summing up his reason for running was to “give back to all the students” what he had received in achieving his success.

Prentice said his was a person in favor of schools remaining public and not private being “skeptical of the free market concept” in schools.

He was not in favor of more charter schools.

Rutz-Robbins said her goal was to keep all the schools in the district up to blue ribbon standards and add more arts, sports and clubs in all the school because they will increase student success.

Menifee Unified School District to elect board members in even-numbered years Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Under both the California Education Code and the California Elections Code, the elections of school district board members are to occur in odd-numbered years. In 1984, the Elections Code was amended to allow a governing board to adopt a resolution which permits elections to occur on the same day as the even-year November statewide general election.

The Menifee Unified School District requested that the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approve such a resolution, and on

Sept. 27 the county supervisors voted 5-0 to allow the change.

Electing board members in evennumbered years often produces a higher turnout, and the increased number of jurisdictions holding elections in an even-numbered year also reduces the school district’s share of the election cost. The MUSD board voted 5-0 June 28 to request approval by the Board of Supervisors for a change to elections in even-numbered years.

The terms of the MUSD board members which would have expired in December 2017 are now extended to December 2018, and those seats will be contested in the

November 2018 election rather than the November 2017 election. The board members whose seats would have expired in December 2019 will now serve until December 2020 if they complete their term, and the elections for those seats will be in November 2020 rather than in November 2019.

In the event that sufficient petition signatures are gathered to cause a recall election of a school board member, that recall vote would take place in a special election, unless the verification of signatures occurred close enough to a regular primary or general election. If there is a vacancy on the school board,

Hemet High School principal recognized

by Hemet Unified School District HEMET – The governing board of the Hemet Unified School District, on nomination by trustee Marilyn Forst, has selected Dr. Emily Shaw, principal at Hemet High School, as the September recipient of the Governing Board Recognition of Excellence Award and a $500 certificate to be used toward the district program of her choice in recognition of her outstanding performance, professionalism and loyalty.

Shaw received her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and her master’s degrees in public administration and educational

administration from California State University, San Bernardino.

In 2006 she received her doctorate in organizational leadership from the University of La Verne.

Among her peers, Shaw is known to be passionate, driven and an ardent student advocate. Truly, Shaw’s influence, in every circle of the district, is meaningful and colored with a purpose to improve the educational experience for all students the governing board says..

Shaw is a consummate professional and a talented educator. Dr. Shaw has served with distinction at all levels as an administrator in

addition to a meaningful time as an elementary classroom teacher.

During her tenure as principal at Hemet High School, Shaw has been a driving force for change.

Among the many significant and durable contributions to the Hemet High School campus, Shaw is most notably known for her leadership in implementing the Building Assets Reducing Risks program. Shaw’s leadership was essential in bringing other talented educators into new roles in a way that has impacted countless students and families in a powerful and positive manner the board said.

Hemet Unified announces its second annual College and Career Fair HEMET – Hemet Unified School District is excited to announce its second districtwide College and Career Fair. The event will be held Tuesday, Oct. 25, at West Valley High School’s gymnasium from 6 p.m.to 8 p.m.

There will be over 70 institutions and companies represented including California State universities,

private colleges, community colleges, branches of military and local companies. HUSD is inviting everyone within the community to come.

Busing will be provided to and from the College and Career Fair; students are asked to speak with their school’s administrators for more details.

HUSD is dedicated to ensuring

its students succeed. Providing an event that introduces options for students after high school is one way to achieve this goal.

If you represent a company and are interested in having a booth at the College and Career Fair, please contact Erica Espinoza at eespinoza@ hemetusd.org.

the remaining members vote for the appointment, and in the event of a 2-2 deadlock, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors will select the replacement board member. If the remainder of the term is for more than two years, an election for a two-year term coincides with the general election, while if the appointment is for less than two years, the appointed incumbent holds the seat until the regular election. If the governor calls a statewide special

election in an odd-numbered year, a school district ballot measure may be placed on the ballot for that election.

The change in election date requires the county Registrar of Voters to notify by mail all registered voters of the school district informing them of the change in the election dates and the terms of the board members. The school district will reimburse the county for that mailing expense.

Facebook page. “We’ve determined that there were no weapons or explosive devices involved.”

In a press release issued by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department the suspect was identified only as a 15-year-old student.

“The juvenile was booked into juvenile hall for criminal terrorist and bomb threats, Deputy Mike Vasquez wrote in the release. “There were no weapons or explosive devices involved and the investigation is still ongoing at this time.”

The threat initially made on Twitter by someone only identified as Lance EXE, referenced clown masks and explosives.

“Good luck surviving the new Columbine,” another tweet referencing the planned 10 a.m. Friday attack reads.

School officials became aware of the post Thursday night. Police were immediately involved and an investigation continued throughout the evening, contacts with individuals were made and continued into Friday, according to a press release issued by Temecula Valley Unified School District.

The release went on to explain that families were not notified until Friday morning “to allow police and staff the time to pursue the investigation” that night.

“We were hopeful that leads would have resulted from contacts and that we would not have to create a panic,” the release stated.

Parents immediately began removing their students from the school once an email went out to parents of CHS students.

“Police are on campus and every possible precaution is being taken to deal with the threat,” the email sent to parents reported.

Parents wishing to pick up their students were allowed to do so by using some altered procedures, including parents needing to text their students directing them to go to the front office where they were excused from class for the day.

Students are escorted to their cars by members of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department after a second social media threat was made against the school Friday, Oct. 7.

Due to a second social media threat, parents showed up in droves at Chaparral High School to pick up their students during the morning JP Raineri photos hours of school Friday, Oct. 7.

The school was not placed on lockdown but there were extended class periods to keep students from moving from classroom to classroom until the threat had been handled, according to TVUSD Public Information Officer Laura Boss.

Eventually, the district made the decision to cancel classes for the day.

“Due to the disruption of this morning’s social media threat continuing with an instructional day is not an option,” the release read.

“As a result, we have developed a reunification/release plan that we need parents to assist us with,” a press release reported.

Students and parents affected by the threat expressed everything from concern to anger at the district on social media, as traffic backed up and lines of students eager to be off the campus formed outside the school’s office.

I usually don’t let my son out of things like that but he was watching a cartoon movie and figured he was better off at home and safer just in case.”

According to one unidentified student on the campus, most viewed the threat as an empty one.

“Most think it’s fake and are upset it’s wasting time,” the student said. “There were like five to seven people in each class.”

Temecula Police, along with the Riverside County Sheriff Department, searched the entire campus, but thankfully, came up emptyhanded.

Disdain for small states and towns makes Clinton vulnerable Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Various polls put Hillary Clinton ahead or behind of Donald Trump, but many of these polls themselves explain Clinton’s biggest vulnerability.

What is likely to defeat Clinton isn’t Whitewater or Benghazi or her email deletions, nor is it gun control or transgender restrooms. Clinton is most vulnerable because of her disdain for small states and small towns in larger states.

After the 2000 election, when Al Gore won a plurality of the popular vote but George W. Bush won the electoral vote, Clinton called for the abolition of the electoral college.

This will never happen. The electoral college protects small states from being dominated by big states, so any proposed constitutional amendment to replace the electoral college with a direct popular vote would never

have the support of enough small states to pass. Currently Maine and Nebraska give their two at-large electoral votes to the overall winner while allocating the votes for each Congressional district to the winner of that district, although there has never been a split. A system in which the at-large votes went to the state winner and with each Congressional district vote awarded to the district winner would be acceptable to the small states and would also resolve the concerns that candidates aren’t paying attention to the needs of non-swing states. That system would provide more Democratic electors in Texas and Florida while providing more Republican electors in California and New York, so it’s doubtful that many large states will switch to this system without a constitutional amendment and since the Democrats rely on urban concentrations to carry states it’s also unlikely that the Democrats will provide the

necessary votes for a constitutional amendment. Clinton might not like the Election College, but voters in small states cherish that system.

If anybody wonders why I have such sympathy for small states when I live in the most populous state in America, it’s because I live in a small town in a large state. My community has little protection against being outvoted by residents of Los Angeles and San Francisco or even by the City of San Diego. Voters in small towns of large states have the same frustration that voters in small states have.

Clinton’s desire to abolish the electoral college thus generates resentment toward her both in small states and in small towns of larger states. Many voters in smaller states, meaning those with fewer than 10 electoral votes and not just those with three or four electors, may conclude that Clinton would be bad for the interests of small states. The

residents of small towns in big states may also come to that conclusion, allowing a larger margin of vote for Donald Trump (if not Gary Johnson) to overcome the Democrat votes in the larger cities.

The critical word is “vulnerable.”

The Republicans or an interest group opposed to Clinton must take advantage of the vulnerability. The claim in 2008 that Sarah Palin was not qualified to hold a White House office would equate to Wasilla, Alaska, being too insignificant for her six years as mayor of that city to count as leadership experience.

That is an insult to residents of every small town in the United States, and had John McCain taken advantage of that claim and countered that he and Sarah Palin would provide better leadership for citizens who don’t live in large urban cities Barack Obama likely wouldn’t have been elected. John McCain failed to take such action, showing that he also

Hillary Clinton’s Estate Tax Proposal Dr. Mark Hendrickson SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS “Hillary Clinton Proposes 65 percent Top Rate for Estate Tax” blared a headline in The Wall Street Journal.

Since the current top statutory tax rate on estates is 40 percent, Clinton’s proposal is nothing if not audacious. I can’t recall Barack Obama, our most leftward president, ever calling for a 62.5 percent increase in tax rates for the rich.

Going after inheritances and estates is textbook Marxism. That is not an exaggeration. The third plank in Karl Marx’s 10-point platform for achieving socialism through democratic means—see his 1848 textbook to communism, “The Communist Manifesto”—was the abolition of inheritances. To repeat: it was point three in Marx’s 10-point plan.

For a long line of communists and socialists, the animus against inheritances has both an economic and a sociological purpose. Economically, the tax is part of the overall Marxian/ socialist war against private property. Sociologically, Marx sought

to weaken if not eliminate the traditional nuclear family. Clinton and her progressive allies have recently succeeded in weakening the traditional family by redefining marriage, and so it comes as no surprise now that she is extending the battle against families to the economic front by seeking more confiscatory taxes on the estates of families.

I have written before that Hillary Clinton gives every appearance of never having taken Economics 101.

Taxes on estates are economically harmful, because they destroy capital.

While running for the Democratic nomination, one of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ favorite campaign lines was the statement that the very rich have far more money than they could possibly spend. That may well be true. But what neither he nor Clinton understands is that those large pools of wealth are more valuable to Americans of modest means than they are to the rich people who own them.

Taxing 65 percent of large private fortunes will not significantly affect the lifestyles of the super-rich. But if the government taxes that wealth and

transfers it to non-rich Americans, most of it will vanish in current consumption. By contrast, when the rich are allowed to retain ownership of wealth, much of it becomes the capital that is invested in business enterprises where it provides jobs for non-rich Americans and produces goods and services that uplift society’s standard of living. Like the old Chinese proverb says, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” Capital is better than a short-term handout, for it enables men and women to support those families for many years.

My late mentor, Grove City College Professor Dr. Hans Sennholz, explained another economically destructive aspect of estate taxes in his book, “Death and Taxes.” Many estates are not in the form of cash, but are working businesses. When the government demands a huge sum of cash from a deceased person’s estate, often the only way the heirs can raise the cash is to dismember, shrink or liquidate the business. Who does this hurt most? Answer: the middle-class workers that were employed by those

businesses. Where is the social justice in that, Mrs. Clinton?

In one respect, I have to give credit to Mrs. Clinton for her proposal. She is right to inform voters of what taxes she wants to raise in order to fund the massive spending increases she has proposed. But the amount of revenue that she hopes to obtain from increasing the estate tax will be less than she envisions. The much higher rate will incentivize many rich people to make increased use of the same legal devices (trusts and foundations) that Mrs. Clinton herself employs to shield her immense wealth from the clutches of the taxman.

Combined with her grand visions of social engineering – plans to involve the state ever more intimately in our daily lives – Hillary Clinton’s enthusiastic embrace of the Marxian policy of transferring more inherited wealth from families to government will take us down a very dark path.

Dr. Mark W. Hendrickson is an adjunct faculty member, economist, and fellow for economic and social policy with The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College.

Helping senior citizens Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

This session I authored a bill to establish a San Diego pilot program funded through the Victim’s Crime Fund to provide assistance to elder and dependent victims of financial crimes. My bill was supported by the California Commission on Aging and the California Elder Justice Coalition. It can be scary and lonely to try to navigate government agen-

cies alone without an advocate or assistance. My office can also help to liaison on issues affecting seniors.

The California Commission on Aging serves as one of the principal advocates for older individuals in California, and assists with legislation and regulations involving programs and services for the elderly.

They have recently been looking at the issue of older women in poverty through the lenses of retirement options, elder justice, food insecurity

get deficit? It is entitlements such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid (Medical in California). These constitute over 60 percent of government mandated savings. What should we do? We can cut entitlements as the trust funds are due to be exhausted within most of our lifetimes. if we raise the retirement age to 70. Would not this badly hurt the people who labor with their hands and backs and are worn-out by 62 years?

Do we raise taxes to fund these mandated programs? Whom do we tax.?

2. Security: The U.S. spends five times as much on the military as any other nation in the world. How much is enough? Should we play 911 to the world and intervene in the Middle East, again? This is where we have spent over a trillion dollars in wars we did not win. How do we defeat ISIS? Do we drop a nuclear bomb?

Do we send a million troops in? Do we carpet bomb the area killing innocents and children and violating international law? How many wars do we want to fight? Ask the candidates.

3. Taxes: We are not the most heavily taxed nation by a long shot. How-

and health access. Issues affecting seniors are varied and they are often left to suffer in silence or be taken advantage of. For more information on the California Commission on Aging, visit their website at www. ccoa.ca.gov or email ccoa@ccoa. ca.gov. Telephone: (916) 419-7591; Fax: (916) 419-7596.

I was also honored to have the support of the California Elder Justice Coalition, which supports efforts to improve California’s response to

elder abuse, neglect and exploitation.

In fact, CEJC is the only statewide multidisciplinary membership network devoted to elder justice. The Coalition may be reached online at www.elderjusticecal.org or by email at info@elderjusticecal.org.

We must do all we can to meet the needs of this growing segment of our population. Next session, improving the lives of senior citizens will remain one of my top priorities.

ever, our corporate rates are rather high at 35 percent but few companies pay that rate. Our outcomes in health and school quality are way below many nations. Who should pay the taxes? Should the very wealthy pay a certain minimum? Warren Buffet famously says he pays less taxes as a percentage than his secretary. Donald Trump may pay almost no taxes. Is that fair?

4. Heath care. Is health care a right or a privilege for the wealthy and very poor but too expensive for the middle class? If it should be available to all in the richest nation the world has ever known, then how do we pay for it? In most advanced economies the government is heavily involved.

Our version might look like Medicare for all. The alternatives such as Obama care are very awkward jerry built constructs. The Affordable Care Act took the existing infrastructure of insurance companies providing insurance through employers because the insurance lobby is very strong.

But what about the rest of us as entrepreneurs or being unemployed?

The Affordable Care Act is flawed but how do we fix it? Ask your

candidates.

5.Economy.We are growing slowly but we are doing better than the European Union and oil producing countries. How do we raise wages and productivity for the middle class?

Coal jobs may never come back in West Virginia. How do we retrain workers for the 21st century world?

Climate change. Is climate change real? Should we ratify the Paris climate treaty? Will climate change regulations create new jobs or destroy old ones? Ask your candidates.

Questions to ask your candidates in the election To the Editor, Nov. 8 is an election. It is part of a newspaper’s mission to inform the community about things important to them. That mission can be extended to include making informed voters.

This column aims to ask questions about the major issues, but pose no answers. The voter must judge the candidates.

For starters we can look at the California ballot. There are 17 propositions on the ballot. For some, this is democracy run-a-muck. The information on these propositions 23 pages long and measured one-half inch thick. Who can read this? One guide to the propositions will be given Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Reche school house in Fallbrook sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the American Association of University women.

Here is the difficulty, Proposition 61 mandates that when the state buys drugs they will pay no more than the Veterans Affairs price. Ads funded by drug companies say veterans will be hurt. How? I do not know.

Federal election issues: 1. What is busting the federal bud-

lacked the mentality to be a leader for America’s small towns. If the Republicans learn their lesson from eight years ago a strong vote from small cities against Clinton will likely provide a Republican victory.

There is a two-generation Manning family in professional football and a two-generation Manning family in Canadian politics, which means that a third-party victory in North America is not unprecedented.

Preston Manning never won the big one, but the 1993 election in which the Reform Party took 51 of the 52 seats in the Prairie Provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba) shows how strong resentment against domination by the large Eastern cities can be with voters of small states or provinces. Unfortunately for the residents of the Prairie Provinces the Canadian electoral system provides no protection against domination by large provinces. The electoral college in the United States provides a degree of protection and voters in small states and small towns may be enticed to protect themselves by voting against Clinton.

Maurice Car’rie Winery a hub of activity for all Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

When trying to find something to do for the weekend, it’s nearly impossible to find a venue that offers something for everyone.

However, Maurice Car’rie winery has been a hub of activity for folks of all ages all summer long, and now that the fall season has arrived, it does not appear that the winery plans to halt its weekends packed with activities.

Maurice Car’rie might have a picturesque background, with its sprawling green lawn and beautiful facilities, it also provides a place for evening fun and dancing as well.

A perfect example is a no cover concert being offered this weekend at the winery. Lifetime Rocker, four Temecula Valley musicians, will get guests on the dance floor Oct. 15. From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the band that’s been voted one of the best cover bands will bring music from Chicago, Aerosmith, Steely Dan, Bruce Springsteen, Kansas, The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Train, Tears for Fears, Earth/ Wind/&Fire, Steve Miller, Boston and many more.

For those who want to plan ahead, the Keri Payne Project, a favorite of the Maurice Car’rie Winery, will be performing Oct. 29 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The Keri Payne Project offers a variety of music as well, with jazz, funk, blues and classic rock being

staples.

For those looking for a more philanthropic option for their weekend, Maurice Car’rie will host Quilts of Valor from Friday to Sunday, Nov. 11 to 13, right on time for Veterans Day. The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with a quilt. Several quilts are awarded to servicemen. All quilts are handmade and have a patriotic theme.

Guests are invited to come and salute servicemen.

During each of these events, Maurice Car’rie will be serving its award winning wines, and select beers in addition to the winery’s famous hot sourdough Brie bowl. Food is also available from one of many gourmet food

Bel Vino Winery welcomes singers of all ages to Karaoke every Friday

Come to Bel Vino Winery for some Friday night fun with Karaoke from 6-9 p.m. in the rustic barrel room.

Andrea Verdin AESTRADA@REEDERMEDIA.COM

For those looking for a chance to get into the spotlight and show off their singing skills, Friday nights at Bel Vino Winery might be the place to start.

Every Friday from 6-9 p.m., Bel Vino Winery has karaoke in its rustic barrel room. This is not a place for shy singers; this is a fun event that brings together folks from all ages and backgrounds together to sing their favorite songs.

This is a perfect way to end the week, especially if guests are looking for a fantastic meal.

Folks can sing along with their favorite hits while enjoying some of the Bistro’s gourmet comfort food, such as parmesan truffle fries, chimichurri shrimp, chicken sandwiches, burgers and pizza.

The Bel Vino Bistro has fantastic meals available until 8:30 every

night, and when paired with the winery’s happy hour, it’s no surprise that people are excited for this weekend event.

For those who are looking to make a day at Bel Vino, there are endless options available all weekend long. From noon to 4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, there are always performers on the Hilltop Terrace Stage, situated right outside of the winery, offering guests a chance to let their hair down and dance the afternoon away.

Of course, wine tasting and tours are offered as well. Guests can taste selections of Bel Vino’s signature wines, or can reserve a time to try library wines with close friends and family. Tasting tours can be as simple as a friendly and expert host will personally guiding a group in an interactive, educational and fun wine tasting experience, or it could be more expansive with a tour of the vine-

yards, vintage barrel room to learn winemaking techniques and barrel aging. A private reserve tour is also available, and offers guests a sampling of Bel Vino’s premium library wines. These wines are limited production, hand crafted and award winning.

As a boutique winery, Bel Vino has built a name for itself as a place that offers Old World winemaking techniques, an authentic winery experience, and a casual, friendly atmosphere. With some of the best wines in Southern California and some of the best views of the wine country, Bel Vino can easily become a staple to guests’ weekend excursions.

Dining in the Valley No penalty for

‘piling on’ A plate full of meaty chicken wings cost only $4 at Pala during Monday Night Football. Ranch dressing and buffalo wing hot sauce is available at the condiment bar.

S

ports fans that attend the Monday Night Football parties at Pala Resort and Casino should be very thankful there are no National Football League referees in attendance.

In the NFL, a player gets penalized for “piling on.” A referee would run out of flags calling that penalty at Pala, where the condiment bar is under a constant blitz from hungry football fans that know a great bargain.

While attending the MNF party in the Infinity Showroom Oct. 3, this writer saw several fine balancing acts by people carrying plates of nachos that were stacked

at Pala during Monday Night Football

so high with condiments – guacamole, salsa, jalapenos, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, chopped onions – that I mistook them for the nearby Palomar Mountains.

The foundation for those architectural masterpieces were tortilla chips that had already been covered with cheese and chili. Nachos with cheese and chili cost just $4 and the trip to the condiment bar is free.

“We have some experts here that know how to get the most out of their four-dollar nachos,” said Coley McAvoy, Pala’s marketing and promotional manager, with a laugh. “Food and beverage does a great job with the quality of the food, the flavor of the food and

Monday Night Football fare at Pala features carne asada street tacos that cost $2 and can be loaded up with extras (guacamole and chopped tomatoes in this case) from the condiment bar at no extra charge.

“ 'We have some experts here that know how to get the most out of their four-dollar nachos,' said Coley McAvoy, Pala’s marketing and promotional manager, with a laugh." the quantity that you get.”

In addition to killer nachos, Pala offers the following during its MNF parties: a full plate of chicken wings for $4, carne asada street tacos for $2, foot-long hot dogs with chili and cheese for $6, chips and salsa for $3, and popcorn, candy, cookies and brownies for a buck.

The wings are meaty and very tasty by themselves but if you want to “kick it up a notch” ranch dressing and buffalo wing hot sauce are available at the condiment bar.

The street tacos are loaded with flavorful meat, fresh chopped

onion and cilantro and served with slices of lime. If you’d like to transform your street taco into a “super taco,” the guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa, etc. is available gratis at the condiment bar.

People attending the MNF parties at Pala also have the opportunity to win great prizes while the watching the action in high definition on several giant high-definition TV’s. McAvoy, who does a fantastic job as host of the football bashes, raffles off gifts during extended stoppages of play from kickoff to the end of the third quarter.

“Every timeout, every commercial break and quarter change, whenever we have a break in the action, we’ll try to do at least one drawing,” said McAvoy.

Fans age 21 and older receive one free drawing ticket upon arrival. Patrons can earn additional drawing tickets through food and beverage purchases, or by purchasing the featured beer (Bud Light or Coors) of the week.

Pala’s MNF parties feature two themes – “Fan’s Night” and “Tailgate Party” – that alternate each week and offer different prizes. The Oct. 3 game was a “Fan’s Night” and the extensive list of raffle prizes distributed included NFL-licensed jerseys and custom watches of the two teams playing (the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants), an NFL Wilson football, and a $100 cash drawing. On “Tailgate Party” nights, raffle gifts include snack helmets, stadium chairs, tailgate coolers and two tickets (“great seats” says McAvoy) to a San Diego Chargers home game.

Four steak and crab dinners for two, with VIP booth service, are awarded at every MNF game, as are two complimentary admissions to Pala’s celebrated buffet, Choices. NFL hats and key chains of the competing teams are also awarded each week, as are three pepperoni pizzas before the end of the first quarter.

Between the food, fun and the prizes, it’s not surprising Pala’s MNF event has a loyal following.

“At least 60 to 70 percent of them are regulars,” said McAvoy of the enthusiastic MNF crowd.

“We always get new people each and every week because the regulars are so excited to bring friends out. They want them to experience it. It’s become a domino effect. We have seen our regular base of customers grow and grow and grow each and every year.”

After experiencing my first MNF party at Pala – complete with nachos, wings, tacos, nice cold beverages and the great camaraderie of fellow football fans – I can certainly see why.

Touchdown Pala!

Hemet City Planning commissioner John Gifford hung up his business suit and tie, gathered up his talented Damascus Road brothers from across the country and friends from the B Players, to present a sterling professional “Bluesgrass”

concert Oct. 8 at Diamond Valley Arts Center in historic Harvard Street downtown.

Damascus Road, nationally known for their Bluegrass and Gospel music, including John Gifford and brothers; Jay Gifford, Dennis Gifford, Richard Gifford, Larry Gifford and friend Tim Hudson, joined with the B Players with another

brother Jeremy Gifford, Charity Putman, Joe Deroche, Tim Palmatier and vocalist Brynn Nodarse to present what they called Bluesgrass, a mixture or classic Bluegrass and Blues music for an appreciative audience at the Arts Center.

The musician brothers and Hudson have played with such bluegrass greats as Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs and country and bluegrass star Merle Haggard and have appeared in nationwide concerts. It was the second time Damascus Road has appeared in Hemet.

Nodarse, was a special guest of the bands who sang several gospel songs bringing cheers and loud clapping from an appreciative audience.

She is actually Dr. Brynn Nodarse, dean of the Chapman University, Crean College of Health and Behavioral Science, Department of Psychology and has studied at the College of Performing Arts. John Gifford, joked about her coming aboard with the band, by using her psychology to have them say “yes.”

Her performance was outstanding.

J. Gifford said the brothers actually have been singing and playing together since they were children born to a musical family. “We grew

up doing bluegrass,” said Gifford.

“Tonight we are doing something different. We like to call it Bluesgrass,” introducing the B Players.

Some of the songs played by the two bands Saturday night included “I am Man,’ by Ralph Stanley; “On the Backroad,” blues hits “The worst is yet to come,” and “Got My Mojo Working,” a favorite with the audience. Nodarse sang “Oh King of Glory” and other gospel songs.

He said he and his brothers don’t play as much having left the circuit some time ago, but get together to play in Hemet.

J. Gifford said he has lived in Hemet for 40 years and is married to his wife Eva Venable Gifford from and a longtime Hemet family. “I love it here,” he said. He has been a member of the Planning Commission since 2009. The rest of the Giffords live in other parts of the country.

Hosting the bands were members of the Diamond Valley Arts Council dedicated to promote awareness of and opportunities for involvement in the visual, performing and literary arts and in cultural interest and venues throughout the Hemet and San Jacinto Valleys.

The Arts Council manages the

Diamond Valley Arts Center located at 123 N. Harvard Street in Hemet in an historic 110-year-old building refurbished to include an art gallery, lighted stage, sound booth, a refreshment bar and numerous tables and chairs for guests and patrons.

Fine Arts Network Theater Company Announces ‘Assassins’

The cast of “Assassins” plays now at the Old Town Temecula Shawna Sarnowski photos Community Theater.

Tanner Vidos stars as John Wilkes Booth in “Assassins,” now playing at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

TEMECULA – “Everybody’s got the right to be happy!” Fine Arts Network Theater Company announces “Assassins” by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, Oct. 13 through Oct. 23, in the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

Directed by local favorite, Paul Kehler and based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr., “Assassins” uses the premise of a murderous carnival game to produce a revuestyle portrayal of men and women who attempted, successfully or not, to assassinate presidents of the United States.

The music varies to reflect the popular music of the eras de-

picted. The musical first opened off-Broadway in 1990, and the 2004 Broadway production won five Tony Awards. “‘Assassins’ is a wonderfully artistic show which happens to be about some of the most unpleasant moments in American History,” Production Director Paul Kehler said. “Often times we think of musicals as song and dance extravaganza’s full of entertaining antics and happy endings. Those who come to see “Assassins” will find these things and so much more all wrapped up in a wonderful show that boasts a wonderful book and spectacular score.”

The audience is in for a ride with “Assassins.”

“When choosing our season, ‘Assassins’ felt poignant for a time in this country where there is so much political polarity,” Brittany Campbell, artistic director of the Fine Arts Network, said. “What better way to work through our society’s issues than to be entertained by a Sondheim musical that is thoughtprovoking and imaginative?”

Tickets may be purchased through the Old Town Temecula Community Theater Box Office at (866) 653-8696 or www.temeculatheater.org. Student, senior, military and group discounts are available.

Nate Beals stars as Lee Harvey Oswald in the Fine Arts Network Theater Company’s production of “Assassins.”

Chaparral High School Theater Department’s presents ‘Peter and The Starcatcher’

Chaparral High School Theater Department will present “Peter and the Starcatcher” beginning Dean Reynolds photo Oct. 14.

TEMECULA – The nationallyrecognized Chaparral High School Theater Department, winner of seven awards (including outstanding musical production) and 13 additional nominations in the 11th Annual National Youth Arts Awards, is pleased to announce that it will debut it’s fall play “Peter and The Starcatcher” at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14. Additional performances are 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21. Matinee performances are 2 p.m. on Saturdays, Oct. 15 and Oct. 22. All performances are in the school’s Performing Arts Center. CHS is located at 27215 Nicolas Road, Temecula.

The Tony-winning “Peter and the Starcatcher” upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (aka Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson’s bestselling novels, the play is written

by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, “Peter and the Starcatcher” playfully explores the depths of greed and despair... and the

bonds of friendship, duty and love.

This year’s show features a cast of 18. Cast members include sophomore Gavin Powell as Peter, sophomore Perri Allen as Molly Aster, senior Rafael Loza as Black Stache, senior Inaijsa Betts as Mrs. Bumbrake, junior Dean Reynolds as Alf, senior Aurora Mak as Smee, senior Andre LeDe as Lord Aster, junior Dylan Robb as Slank, senior Erik Duenas as Ted, and sophomore Cade Dailey as Prentiss.

“The best way to describe the staging of this play,” according to CHS Drama teacher and director Chris Irvin, “is like when you were a kid in your friend’s garage using anything you could find to recreate the world you were wanting to imagine. This play is all about the audience’s imagination playing a big part in helping to tell the story.”

General admission is $10; all students, military personnel and seniors 55 and older are admitted for $8. Tickets are available at the CHS Bookkeeping Office during school hours, online at www.seatyourself. biz, and at the door.

The CHS Theater Department earned seven awards and 13 additional nominations in last schoolyear’s NYA Awards. Created to honor outstanding work by youth in the arts across the nation, NYA Awards celebrate music, dance, film and other art forms. More than 300 productions were considered for awards, including shows from more than 100 different theatres in more than 50 cities spanning 10 states.

For more information on the show, call (951) 695-4200, extension 144, or contact Irvin directly at cirvin@tvusd.k12.ca.us.

‘Arsenic and Old Lace’ Comes to Temecula Valley High School TEMECULA – A Broadway classic and the basis of the Cary Grant film of the same name, “Arsenic and Old Lace” follows the story of two kindly old women and their nephews in 1930s Brooklyn.

All seems idyllic for Aunt Abby, Aunt Martha and their nephew, Mortimer, until he makes a startling discovery. In misguided acts of mercy, his sweet old aunties have been poisoning all of the old men in their neighborhood and burying them in the cellar.

Mortimer soon has to contend with his well-meaning but delusional aunties, an inept local police force, his curious fiancee and the

untimely arrival of his estranged brother, Jonathan, who would just as soon see Mortimer join the old men in the cellar.

“Arsenic and Old Lace” is the classic American farce; characters pop in, pop out and chaos reigns. It is a fantastic, family-oriented show that is fit for all ages.

“Arsenic and Old Lace” plays Oct. 27-28 and Nov. 3-4 in the TVHS Golden Bear Theatre. Tickets are $10 general admission, $9 for students. Tickets can be purchased through the Golden Bear box office at (951) 695-7300 x2147 or by emailing Derek Heid at dheid1@ tvusd.k12.ca.us.

Temecula’s Bar-B-Clean takes off the grime with healthy grill cleaning options Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A recurring potential harm can be living in the grills of citizens.

Rather than limiting the American barbequing culture, local Temecula residents, Matt McGrane and Danielle Slawsby, have recently launched a service combating the risks of grilling through their company, Bar-B-Clean.

Officially started in September, the business has seen healthy growth as they as promote healthy living. Their service includes steaming the hoods and cleaning the burner plates as well as everything in it. Reaching into the crevices and providing a service that protects customers from harmful carcinogens present on the grill surface. Bar-B-Clean goes to local customer’s houses with an industrial steamer and other tools necessary for properly cleaning the grill to a near new-like quality.

As Danielle elaborated, “there are major health concerns involved with a dirty grill. As you cook, dirt particles and carcinogens will be trapped from past oils and spread to future meals,” The owners’ philosophy of a clean grill is a healthy grill, fully encapsulates the overall mission to enhance the taste of the grilled food and providing safety from any harmful residue from what is rarely cleaned.

Often documented research shows, the small wires of grill cleaners are caught into grilled products and consumed. Extensive surgery is done to remove the wire, yet the message still stands: citizens must be informed on the precautions necessary for safe grilling.

Bar-B-Clean takes strident efforts to provide such a service and advertise the necessity for keeping a grill clean.

Their unique service is not wellknown.

“Years back, carpet cleaners and window cleaners were not popular because people would do it themselves. Now there are millions,” Matt said.

His hope in the new service may quite as well take off once more citizens are introduced to the service.

Until then, the service continues to uphold quality work and promote a healthier living.

Legal separation and divorce in California advantage. If time is of the essence and you haven’t lived in California for six months, you can accelerate the divorce process by filing for a legal separation first.

Courtesy photo

Morton J. Grabel ATTORNEY AT LAW

Most couples do not receive any real benefit from a legal separation than a divorce. It’s only suitable when you no longer want to be married, but for personal reasons, divorce is not an option. For example, you may want to keep your spouse on your insurance until everything else is resolved. In California, however, there may be one other

Legal Separation by Consent or Default Only: Legal separation by consent or default is not an option in California 1) unless your spouse agrees to go this route or 2) your spouse defaults after you have served your spouse with your petition. This means your spouse must either refuse to participate, allowing it to proceed without objection (a default is filed), or file a response to your petition, consenting to the legal separation. Otherwise, you have no choice but to file for divorce.

Requirements California is a no-fault state and both legal separation and divorce require the same grounds. You must choose between A) irreconcilable differences or A) incurable insanity of your spouse. The similarities

Fallbrook’s Friendly Lawyer with Friendly Fees

between filing requirements end there. You must have lived in the state for six months before you file for divorce, but there is no time requirement for a legal separation.

After you file for divorce, you must wait an additional six months before your divorce can be final.

Procedure Filing for a legal separation is as complicated as filing for divorce.

The two procedures follow an almost identical course, from I) serving the petition to II) disclosing complete details of your finances to the court and your spouse. III) In both cases, you can mutually enter into a marital settlement agreement resolving the issues of your marriage or you can force the court to decide those issues in a trial.

Clearly working out details jointly including custody matters regarding children is better than having the court order what you can and cannot do.

A Third Possibility: California’s legislation does however provide for a summary divorce. This option

Life insurance policies are now as hot as real estate. Investors are purchasing life insurance policies as a protected asset and policy holders are selling their life insurance policies for more than they are worth.

Decrees A decree of legal separation addresses the same things a divorce decree does including support paid to either spouse and for children of the marriage. Both resolve issues of custody, visitation and property distribution. The terms of each are binding. The most significant difference is that a legal separation does not end your marriage and therefore you cannot remarry.

Conversion California law allows you to convert your legal separation to a divorce after your separation is final or at any point during the legal process. Either spouse can file with the court, requesting the conversion. Naturally, this requires additional paperwork. But and as

previously written; if you’re in a hurry to get your divorce moving but have not established residency yet, you can file for legal separation immediately. The six-month waiting period for the final divorce decree begins ticking down as you work through the legal separation procedure. When it has expired, you can file to convert your matter to a divorce.

It helps the seller get more cash for retirement and allows the buyer to obtain predictable income and secure annual returns, which are typically double digit.

will incur lower financing costs.

This marks the first time the District has achieved a ‘AAA’ rating, the highest offered by S&P. The ratings agency – one of the big three international ratings agencies – credited the upgrade to the District’s strong financial performance despite challenging drought conditions, affordable service rates, and good operational management practices and policies.

S&P also noted strengths including a manageable five-year capital plan that does not require additional debt for the next four fiscal years and satisfactory resolution to the creation of the Santa Rosa Regional Resources Authority which will facilitate required wastewater treatment plant upgrades.

“We are proud that RCWD’s conservative fiscal policies have been recognized by S&P, as a higher bond rating will bring real savings to our customers,” said Bill Plummer, RCWD Board President.

“This upgrade is a testament to the well-founded board policies and principles guiding RCWD’s planning efforts.”

Achieving a ‘AAA’ rating will

benefit the District and its customers by allowing it to borrow money more easily and at lower interest rates with the savings being used to help fund additional infrastructure projects. The high rating will also increase the number and variety of investors willing to invest in the District’s bonds, creating enhanced opportunities for economic sustainability in Temecula, Murrieta and the surrounding area.

Formed in 1965, Rancho California Water District supplies an area consisting of approximately 150 square miles. The District serves the area known as Temecula/Rancho California, which includes the City of Temecula, parts of Murrieta and other contiguous lands. The District is separated into two divisions: the Santa Rosa Division generally west of I-15 and Rancho Division generally east of I-15. The District currently provides sewer service to the Cal Oaks and Bear Creek areas.

“The mission of the Rancho California Water District is to deliver reliable, high-quality water, wastewater and reclamation services to its customers and communities in a prudent and sustainable manner.”

Real Estate / Home & Garden Learn how to capitalize on the wisest investment at free solar luncheon TEMECULA – The rules for solar are changing across California, and property owners in the Inland Empire who wait to go solar will not receive the favorable conditions of today. The solar rules recently changed in San Diego, and before the changes occurred, a surge of homeowners and businesses went solar to get grandfathered into the attractive rules. Why the hype?

Currently, Riverside County homeowners with electric bills more than $120 per month can go solar and produce enough energy to offset their electric charges but this will change in the coming months.

Today, you can go solar without spending a dime out-of-pocket, replace a costly electric bill with a lower solar loan payment, own the solar power system and receive a significant tax credit. Solar is cheaper than sticking with Edison.

It also helps reduce our carbon footprint while keeping our money with local families instead of the investor-owned utility.

“The upcoming changes for solar customers will undoubtedly create an unprecedented demand for solar in Edison’s territory,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of regionally-based Sullivan Solar Power, whose clientele includes UC Irvine, the Port of Long Beach and Encinitas Union School District.

Additionally, October is the last month most solar companies

can guarantee an installation by the end of the year, meaning you could claim the 30 percent tax credit in early 2017 when you file your taxes.

To educate homeowners about the changing rules and how to secure the 2016 tax credit, Sullivan Solar Power is hosting a free informational seminar for Temecula Valley residents. The presentation will be held Saturday, Oct. 22, from 11 a.m. to noon at the Temecula Chamber of Commerce, located at 26790 Ynez Court in Temecula.

The seminar will cover how solar works, financing options as well as details on the current and future solar rules. Those who attend the seminar will secure a $1,000 cashback incentive after they go solar with Sullivan Solar Power. Now is truly the best time to go solar for Edison customers.

To RSVP the seminar, email rsvp@sullivansolarpower.com or call 1-800-SULLIVAN. For more information about Sullivan Solar Power, visit www.sullivansolarpower.com.

Sullivan Solar Power was founded to fundamentally change the way the world generates electricity and has been a key driving force for the growth of the solar industry for the last 12 years. Sullivan Solar Power has installed more than 6,000 systems including residential, commercial and municipal work across Southern California.

Why being ‘priced right’ is the No. 1 factor when selling your home Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

All of us have heard that the three most important factors in real estate are “location, location and location.”

Do you agree? We don’t. Well, not exactly. Let us share with you why.

Yes, homes for sale in the Temecula/Murrieta Valley have one great thing in common: location. However, there is so much more to it when it comes to successfully selling a home in today’s market.

The truth is there are three dynam-

ics that are important – location, condition and price. Of the three, price is the ultimate trump card. Almost all buyers first determine their price bracket then shop for the best value within that bracket.

The value of a home is certainly influenced by its location. Build identical homes with identical features in Wine Country and another one in French Valley, and the Wine Country home will certainly be worth more, simply because Wine Country is a more desirable area.

Location only affects the value of a

home. Price is what sells the home.

It doesn’t matter if a home sits on the shores of the Pacific Ocean, high up in a pristine mountain resort or in the penthouse of a prestigious downtown building, it just won’t sell if it’s not priced right.

There is a buyer for every home.

Sometimes it’s difficult to say just what will be the motivating factor as to why a particular buyer buys a particular home. A home in a “good location” will always sell for a fair price. The same goes for a home in a “bad location,” it too will sell for a fair price…it just won’t be as high as the same home in a “good location.”

The same can be said for a home in good condition; it will sell for a fair price and a home in poor condition will also sell for a fair price…it just won’t be as high as the home in a better condition.

Price remains the trump card.

Neither location nor condition will sell a house if it is not priced right.

Don’t be that seller looking for that one buyer that gets your house, appreciates your sense of style, your choice of appliances, carpet and those one-of-kind bathroom fixtures.

If your home has been on the market for an extended period of time, provided you have done all you can regarding the condition and have made it easily available for showings, chances are it is no longer priced right. Listen to your real estate agent. And if you don’t have one, get one.

Don’t let your home just sit there, week after week. It will come to a point buyers will start to avoid your

home and think something is wrong with it.

When showings stop, don’t blame your real estate agent. When people view your home and no offers come in, chances are a change is

needed. Have the market conditions changed? Get input from your real estate agent. After all, it’s your house, your agent works for you.

In addition, keep in mind the market will dictate the price not the seller and not the real estate agent. Nearly every homeowner believes that their home is special and one of the best in the entire neighborhood, and should therefore be priced higher than other comparable homes currently being sold. Knowing the competition is critical to effectively pricing a home. Your agent should be able to show you on paper where your home stacks up to the completion.

However, not everyone really gets it by looking at values on a spreadsheet. If this is you, then have your real estate agent take you on a tour of the neighborhood and preview each comparative home on the market.

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

Trust your agent’s pricing strategy, but don’t be afraid to ask questions.

Real estate agents are immersed in our local market. We have a thorough understanding of what buyers will pay for a home and want to work with you to price it to sell for the highest price in the shortest amount of time. Remember, an agent who will list your home overpriced knows it will take longer for it to sell, meanwhile using your home to attract buyer leads for other properties.

Don’t make the mistake of overpricing your home. Contact me for a free consultation!

Remember, it’s not just location and condition, it’s being priced right that will sell your home.
