The Student-Led Musical Theater Internship Showcasing You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown

Calling all middle and high school aged students interested in performing and producing a musical! The City of Temecula & Temecula Presents is pleased to offer a Student- Led Internship program that allows students to gain experience in the theater industry. With the support of the California Arts Council’s Youth Arts Action Grant, this unique arts education program provides youth (ages 13-18) access to three months of mentorship from professional artists and expert advisors. This free program encourages relevant, dynamic and innovative community building and learning through youth-focused arts and culture projects.

Participants will attend classes providing them with valuable theater experience and at the end of the course, there will be four public performances held at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater on the main stage! Students are able to sign up for auditions for a role in the cast or to interview for a position with the production team. This program is a wonderful opportunity for students interested in gaining experience in acting, directing, choreography, musical directing, and other backstage roles.

The selection for this program, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown, is a fresh approach to the all-time 1967 classic, based on the beloved comic strip by Charles Schultz. Sally Brown joins Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Schroeder, and Snoopy in this charming revue of vignettes and songs.

Interviews to be on the production team are scheduled for October 16th and auditions are scheduled for October 25th. Classes begin on October 30th. This course will be held at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater. For more details on times and locations, please visit TemeculaCA.gov/TCSD or call the Community Services Department at 951-694-6480.

An Interview with Jimmy Fu, Photographer

By Dick Cronberg

One of the joys of teaching photography for many years is to observe the growth of students. And, once in a while one student will really stand out! That happened to me a few years ago while teaching for the City of Temecula. So today I’d like to tell you about this student.

Jimmy Fu enrolled in my Digital Photography classes and I could tell immediately that he was going to be good. So, I began following his progress.

He began shooting everything and continually asked for advice.

He learned quickly and before I knew it, he was earning money! He soon became one of the most noted commercial photographers in the valley.

I love Jimmy’s enthusiasm and his eagerness to try anything. He not only built a business of helping to “brand” small businesses with his photos but also started a thriving business of landscape photos that adorn many business walls.

I met with Jimmy and talked about his career in photography.

Richard: What is your professional background?

Jimmy: I sold medical devices for 25 years and although I was successful, I didn’t love it. I’ve always been interested in photography but never had the time to pursue it. After retiring I figured why not give it a try?

R: Why did you choose commercial photography?

J: I was visiting Chef Flavor coffee shop and asked the owner if I could take a few shots of his product and of the establishment. He agreed and after I showed the photos to him, he hired me to do more. I then asked the people at Bean Coffee the same question and got another job! It actually was pretty easy.

R: What connections did you make to increase your business J: I joined the Temecula Chamber of Commerce and made lots of friends who then helped me expand my business. I also became an ambassador for the Chamber.

R: What has surprised you the most about photography?

J: It’s where it has taken me. After I started shooting scenery, I suddenly was seeing places new to me and learning the stories that lead up to that great shot!

R: Who inspires you?

J: I am inspired by my photography buddies, photo club members (too many to name) a few famous landscape photographers and the famous author Scott Kelby.

R: What are your favorite subjects to photograph?

J: I love all landscapes but especially sunset and night shots.

R: What are your goals?

J: I’d like to own my own gallery and become the most well-known photographer in Temecula.

R: Where can people see your work?

J: I am on Facebook and Instagram and my website is www.jimmyfu-photograph.com. Also, I have large prints on many business’s walls, in the Chamber of Commerce building of Temecula and

at the Rancho Springs Hospital Birthing Center. My prints are on over 100 walls!

R: Why did you choose photography as your new career?

J: My passion is capturing the beauty of the world and sharing it with people who can appreciate God’s work. I chose photography as much as photography chose me! I decided to pursue my passion in life and do what I was born to do. Photography is how I express myself and I love it with all my heart. I love planning the shoot, capturing the shot, editing the shot and finally sharing it online and on a wall. And now I get to do it for others and for the City of Temecula. I am so grateful for the opportunity to share my vision with others.

Attend the “Pony Up for GAIT� Fundraiser on October 5

By David Baker, GAIT Volunteer

All are cordially invited to attend GAIT's annual fundraiser on Saturday, October 5th at the Green Acres Ranch located in the heart of wine country at 35750 Deportola Road, Temecula from 4 - 10 pm. GAIT is Green Acres Interactive Therapy, a non-profit therapeutic horsemanship program. The fun-filled event includes various horsemanship demonstrations and competitions, auction, live music and dinner.

GAIT enriches lives through horse and farm animal interaction GAIT serves young people with special needs and improves their lives through the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional bond formed through hippotherapy. The therapeutic programs are customized for each client to support their personal goals. GAIT is able to serve all abilities and the sky's the limit for each person's horsemanship goals and accomplishments. Connections are developed between students with special needs and the animals. Horses see no differences, hold no judgment and only expect kind words or a pat on the neck in return for their services. GAIT's outdoor environment allows the client to be noisy, explore their surroundings, build independence and self-confidence, appreciate nature, form bonds with animals and most of all develop lasting skills for a lifetime.

Emery's Story Your generous donation makes a direct impact on the lives of our clients like 5-year-old Emery. Here is Emery's story as relayed by her mother, Megan Lapinskas. When Emery began riding at GAIT only a few months ago, her cerebral palsy was causing very poor head control and severe muscle tightness in her legs. This made it difficult for her to participate in physical activities and play time with her twin sister Elyse.

Since she has started riding her legs have already loosened up tremendously and she is able to hold her head upright independently, longer and with ease. Her doctor has seen incredible improvement and Emery no longer needs hip surgery because riding is aligning her hips! She looks forwards to her riding lessons and frequently tells people how much it helps her muscles. Her favorite therapeutic activity is holding onto two rings while riding to strengthen her grip muscles.

She is now able to participate in more outdoor family activities such as playing at the playground and beach. She and her family love this new-found freedom. Emery's story is typical of the riders who take weekly lessons at GAIT.

How You Can Support GAIT's Mission Visit the GAIT website at www.GAITprogram.org and then click on the GAIT logo to enter the donation site. It enables you to purchase tickets to the event, make an individual donation to the program, or a corporate sponsorship donation.

You can also participate in the auction event through an online bidding feature.

Your generous support will enable GAIT to continue to provide a much needed service for this area's children with special needs to reach their full potential.

Thank you in advance for your support and no donation is too small.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children with Autism

By Whitney N. Brown, Ph.D.

Navigating the school-age years can be challenging for any child or adolescent, but it is especially difficult for children with an autism spectrum disorder.

Along with academic demands, social pressures and daily responsibilities may place these children at an increased risk for a range of mental health concerns,

including anxiety and depression.

Recognizing Mental Health Concerns How can parents determine if their child with an ASD is experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression? There are a few key changes in behavior they may observe. Symptoms of depression may include increases/decreases in appetite, changes in sleeping habits, increased irritability or limited concentration. Symptoms of anxiety may include increased clinginess, refusal to participate in activities or a regression in self-help skills. In general, any change in behavior or a decline in daily functioning may be a signal that a child is experiencing greater distress.

Therapy for Multiple Issues Although applied behavior analysis (often referred to as ABA therapy) is a common and much-needed intervention for children on the autism spectrum, it usually does not directly address symptoms of anxiety, depression or social cognition (e.g. perspective taking, empathy, etc.). These are important targets of intervention for children with high functioning ASD and typically warrant additional treatment.

One form of therapy that has been found to be effective is cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT addresses the thoughts/cognitions that underlie anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns, as well as social cognition in order to improve social skills. CBT is often provided by mental health practitioners, including psychologists and marriage and family therapists; however, due to the unique presentation of autism-related behaviors and symptoms (e.g. difficulty with abstract concepts and communication deficits), children with autism highly benefit from working with mental health practitioners with specific expertise in the disorder.

Available Services Rady Children's Hospital Autism Discovery Institute is currently accepting new patients for CBT at its Murrieta location. The therapy is provided by a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in autism spectrum disorder. It is available for children ages 7 to 17 with age-appropriate verbal skills and the ability to engage in talk-based therapy.

For more information, please contact the ADI main office at 858966-7453.

Whitney N. Brown, Ph.D. is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego Autism Discovery Institute.

Coffee Moments ~

Recognizing Good People

By Rosie Taranto – Coffee for Compassion

Philanthropy —when one hears the word Philanthropy most people often think it refers to the large amounts of money the wealthy donate to causes such as world hunger or organizations like museums or animal shelters, but Philanthropy also refers to desire to help people, the actual deeds a person does to benefit mankind.

Let me share with you a story about philanthropist Donna Sciortino who is a resident of Temecula.

Rosie: How did you arrive at your philanthropy decision?

Donna: While I was working at Time Life (People Magazine Home Box Office) in New York I never had the time to volunteer, now that I am retired, I have the time and I feel very strongly about wanting to do volunteer work.

Rosie: How did you decide which organization(s) to donate your time to?

Donna: My volunteer work started in 2014 when I moved to Temecula. By chance I met Pia, the owner of Artisan's Palate, who invited me to be her guest at one of the Temecula Valley Woman's Club meetings. I went to a meeting and heard of the volunteer opportunities, joined the Club, and worked on the Advocates for Children, Domestic Violence and Military committees. Today, I am no longer a member of the Woman's Club but I devote my time to working with Children where I feel there is a great need.

Rosie: How often and how many hours do you volunteer?

Donna: Hours—endless, as many as I can.

Rosie: Has there been moments or experiences that have affected you emotionally, where you said "this is too much to handle" Donna: Never. I have never decided to stop. Those emotional moments just made me want to work harder! What I experienced is you give, but you get so much more back! I volunteered at Oak Grove where I met a young lady who needed to be mentored and I noticed she only wore black goth and rarely smiled. I wondered, “how am I going to mentor her”? We met every week for two months and I noticed she started to wear pink nail polish, makeup and changed her hair. The day she graduated her grandmother came up to me and asked me if I was the lady who was mentoring her granddaughter. I said yes.

She said look at her now! The young lady I mentored was wearing a beautiful blue dress, pink makeup and nail polish. She looked beautiful and wore a bright, big smile.

Rosie: What advice do you have for someone who is thinking of volunteering and they are not sure where to start?

Donna: Google local non-profit organizations, contact the Chamber of Commerce, the local Interagency Council and ask as many people as you can if they know of an organization that might need help. Everyone has something to offer.

“One person can make a difference no matter how small it is, One Person”

If you know of someone who is giving back to their community and should be recognized contact me at coffee4compasson@gmail.com or at (951)541-3569

11th Annual Murrieta Field of Honor in Town Square Park Debuts November 9

The 11th annual Murrieta Field of Honor, set amongst an awe-inspiring sight -- 2,019 full-sized American flags –will rise in Murrieta’s Town Square Park on November 9 and fly until November 17.

Each year, the Field recognizes heroes --those who served or are serving in the United States armed forces, law enforcement, fire and other first responder posts, plus personal heroes. In addition to the 2,019 flags available for dedication to personal heroes, the Field features sections for Medal of Honor recipients, Local Heroes (those who have given their lives for this country since 2003), historical flags, a flag dedicated to those who perished in 9/11, state flags and a patriotic chalk walk.

This year’s Field of Honor will honor First Responders, including the Murrieta fire and rescue and police departments in the opening ceremonies, scheduled for 9:45 a.m. on Saturday, November 9. In addition, a Military Family Resource Expo will be available that day.

Dozens of volunteers will set up the 2019 Field of Honor, in the early morning hours of November 9. To volunteer for the event, go to MurrietaRotaryClub.org/FieldofHonor.

New for 2019, the Patriots Ball which concludes the week-long commemoration will be held at the Pechanga Resort, November 17, 5 p.m., featuring dinner, music and dancing plus attractive live and silent auctions. The public is invited to this special event and additional information and tickets are available at www.MurrietaRotaryClub.org/Patriots-Ball-2019.

The Field of Honor is presented as a community service by the Rotary Club of Murrieta in partnership with the City of Murrieta and is held in the park, located just two blocks off of I-15, and stretching from City Hall at Jefferson and Kalmia streets, to the Library. Most Town Square Park events and the display are free and open to all.

As the flags are being placed in perfect rows in the Park early on Saturday, November 9, dozens of chalk artists will be creating patriotic works of art on the sidewalks surrounding the park.

A salute to the United States Marines on the 244rd birthday will be held on Sunday, November 10. A full week of activities will follow: Murrieta’s popular Veterans Day parade on Monday, a candlelight concert with Murrieta middle school students on Wednesday night, and a Boy Scouts Final Salute ceremony on Friday.

Community Mission of Hope: Neighbors Helping Neighbors

By Jeannie Young, CMoH Outreach Coordinator

Community Mission of Hope! (CMoH) We are a Community of volunteers on a Mission to bring Hope and aid to those in need in the Temecula Valley and surrounding areas. We are neighbors helping neighbors!

CMoH was born out of the recession that began in 2008. Rancho Community Church saw a need and in 2009 began distributing free food in the parking lot! 10 years later there is a lot to celebrate! Over the past decade the mission has provided more than 3 million meals to hungry individuals and has provided clients with housing and life management resources. They send over 60,000 pounds of food out to over 400 families each month.

Community Mission partners with a working farm in Rainbow, CA. where CMoH volunteers’ plant and harvest produce for the clients. There is also a produce stand run by volunteers every Sunday at Rancho Community Church. All proceeds go back to CMoH. The food distribution warehouse and office on Rider Way in Temecula is a place to meet with clients to match them with a case manager who provides them with the resource information for their individual situation.

The volunteers in the warehouse are made up of a mosaic of community members from church goers, to special needs teams, from senior citizens to youth groups, all are welcomed. The case managers follow up with their clients and encourage them. AT the Community Mission of Hope We people are offered a hand up, not a handout.

Joining in to make it a community effort, the mission partners with surrounding cities, local churches, schools and organizations as well as hundreds of local businesses. CMoH currently has over 135 volunteers serving! The goal is to END homelessness and hunger in the valley, one relationship at a time.

If this article has sparked an interest, here are some areas that you might consider serving in: Warehouse Team: Help sort and build food boxes for Distribution Team: Distribute Food to our recipients Case Manager Team: Work directly with our clients to help put them on a path to self-sufficiency Farm Team: Plant and harvest produce at the Outreach Farm Project Produce Stand Team: Pick up, set up and collect donations for the produce grown at the farm at Rancho Community Church. Food Drive Team: Help to coordinate food drives with local schools, churches and organizations.

But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. ~Isaiah 40:31 NLT

The “Can Do” Life

By Pastor John Stewart

Philippians 4: 13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” is one of the most frequently quoted of all Bible verses. It adorns muscle man t-shirts in many gyms, it is a staple of Christian posters, wall signs for the home and all kinds of inspirational Christian cards and trinkets as a means of encouragement and motivation in the face of life’s daily challenges. Think about it, who among us would not prefer the hopeful glow of, “I can”, versus the gloomy defeatism of “I can’t”!

But, sadly, the hopeful promise and the wonderful truth of Philippians 4:13 has been widely misused and misapplied as it has been removed from its context and employed as an inspirational catch-all, to say, “I can do anything or everything (especially extraordinary things) through Christ who strengthens me”. This verse has been misappropriated and especially abused by those who view their Christianity through the lens of human triumph and blessing, thinking this verse is a means to some kind of selfish super Christian spirituality or positivity primarily for their own profit, progress and notoriety!

To avoid misuse and misapplication of the Bible and to rightly interpret the primary meaning of every Bible verse, including “I can do all things” we must understand the verse within the context of the passage. Thus, what Paul said in the 2 verses preceding verse 13 was vitally important: “. . .. for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things, I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.” Paul was acknowledging that no matter what his physical circumstances may have been — whether experiencing an overflowing abundance of resources for living and ministering or the privation of lacking even basic daily needs or struggling to proclaim the gospel to people who didn’t want to hear or enduring the wrath of the religious and governmental establishment or desiring to bring peace and hope to the churches while languishing in prison—Paul was declaring, I can be content because “ I can do all things through Him who strengthens me”. Paul is confident that he will be divinely strengthened to accept, endure and work through anything and everything that God calls him to do. Not only could Paul be content and confident in every circumstance, he could also be sure that he would be equipped with divine power to deal with it.

Paul spoke similarly in Colossians 1:28-29 where he declared that it was Christ who was not only the message of his ministry but also his sustaining source

of strength and power: “Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.” At times, Paul labored and toiled agonizingly, straining and exerting himself to the full extent of his own might, but he knew that it really was the might and power of Jesus Christ that strengthened him!

The Greek word for “through” in Philippians 4:13, should be rendered “in”, so that the promise reads, “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.” The phrase Paul most often used, to describe the Christian life was “in Christ”. This short two-word phrase declares the basis of every believer’s right standing before God and the power and hope of their right living for God! Therefore, Paul had learned that no matter what kind of opposition, trial or tribulation, he might face, that “in Christ” he would always have the strength to meet it. If he was beat down, he was a man in Christ; if he was overflowing in blessing, he was a man in Christ. In any and every circumstance he was a man in Christ. As a man in Christ he could do all things that were God’s will.

As a man in Christ he was therefore, content regardless of his circumstances.

Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, we share in the same wealth and blessedness of the Apostle Paul, because we, like Paul, are all “in Christ”.

There is no such thing as Christian who is not “in Christ”. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” (2 Corinthians 5:17) Paul told the Colossians that the heart of the Gospel message was, “. . . Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27) Christ lives in us and we live in Him and by Him, so that we might live for Him! This means that you and I as believers, can be confident that we will be divinely strengthened to do whatever God calls us to do.

For the sake of clarity, this does not mean that Christian’s can do anything and everything they may desire to do. God will not strengthen us to act contrary to His will or Glory! Did the apostle really believe that there was nothing he could not do? The answer is this: When the Apostle Paul said that he could do all things, he meant all things which were God’s will for him to do.

He had learned that the Lord’s commands are the Lord’s enablement’s. He knew that God would never call on him to accomplish some task without giving the necessary grace. Additionally, “All things” most directly applies not so much to great feats of daring as to enduring and growing through great adversities and testings. As the Great Hymn, Amazing Grace declares: “Through many dangers, toils and snares, we have already come, ’tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.”

Victory Is Mine

By Joni Eareckson Tada

“In me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” ~John 16:33

There have been many Olympic athletes who have captured the attention of Americans. Jim Thorpe, Carl Lewis, and Mary Lou Retton are just a few. But there is one Olympian who has captured more than our attention. His story has gripped our nation's wonder and imagination: Eric Lidell.

Lidell was a true athlete and a true Christian. He followed his calling to the greatest detail, even to the point of forfeiting a chance for a gold medal when he refused to run on Sunday. It would be his British partner who would win that race, leaving Lidell to win the second race later in the week.

What captures our imagination so is not Lidell's athletic prowess. Eric Lidell was a man who knew the outcome of life's race and ran accordingly. He placed his Master's voice above his coach's advice -- God above country and ambition. He even placed his Lord above personal disappointment because he knew that: "In me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world" (John 16:33).

Eric Lidell was a man at peace with God and the world. Imagine the pressure his fans and peers pushed on him to race just ten mere seconds on that Sunday. But to Eric those ten seconds would bring toil and unrest in his soul.

The victory was not Lidell's to win. Christ had said, "I, not you Eric Lidell, have overcome the world." In that promise, Lidell lived at peace and won a crown brighter than any medal.

Lord, let me see the finish line of eternity and run the race on Your terms. Let me play out the race of life as if the tape were about to snap across my chest.

You have won the victory, and I praise You for it.

Helpful Hints In the Garden

Never “top” a tree to make it shorter. In other words, never cut a section of the canopy directly off the top since it could cause the remaining branches to rot, and the tree will then sucker (shoots that sprout out of or near the base of the tree) on top, possibly growing taller than it originally was. This will result in a top-heavy tree with a woody middle that may eventually die. Prune patiently and wisely because poor pruning can damage a tree for life.

When harvesting gourds, choose one with a hard surface. Rather than puling them off the vine, cut them and handle carefully. Uncured gourds are heavy and can break if you lift them by their stems.

To keep container plants healthy while on vacation, try this trick. Pull back the mulch in a shady garden spot. Then place the potted plants on bare ground in a tight grouping, and tuck the mulch around the base of each pot. Grouping plants together will help share humidity.

Water the plants and the surrounding soil thoroughly, and your prized potted plants should be fine for up to a week.

Another way: Use a self-watering wick to help the plants draw moisture from a tub. These can be purchased at most plant stores and will provide water to plants for several weeks.

Or, try this: Fill a plastic container with pebbles and fill the bottom with water, then place the plants on top of the pebbles. The plants will absorb the water. For extended vacations, have a friend come in and add more water to the pebbles, but not to the plants themselves.

TRICKS to give your home a TREAT! Halloween candy and costumes. I have to admit, I’m not a huge fan of dressing up . . . unless of course you’re referring to a house!

I’m always ready to change things up and move things around. So, this month I thought I’d share a few decorating TRICKS-of-the-trade that will TREAT your home to a new look.

Let’s start with a few ways to make your home look BOOtiful and feel more spacious.

By Rita Wood, The Room Arranger

Add mirrors: Everyone knows using mirrors can trick your space to appear larger than it is. A mirror can act as another window and can double the amount of natural light in your home.

Opposite a window is always a great choice, however, reflecting a beautiful piece of art will look great too. (TIP: be sure to take the time to see what your mirror will reflect prior to hanging it). Try hanging multiple inexpensive door mirrors horizontally for an unexpected look. (See photo) The reflective beauty of mirrors applies to furniture too . . . a mirrored cabinet or bedroom dresser is another way to take advantage of reflective light.

space. You can add feet or legs to increase the height and elegance of a chest or dresser.

Select similar colored flooring: A home with only one type of flooring is ideal to make your space feel as big as possible. For those of us that have or prefer different types of flooring, (like carpet and tile) choosing similar colors will make your home seem more spacious too.

Add a curved shower rod: It’s crazy how something as simple as a curved rod can make a difference in a small shower.

It keeps the wet, sticky curtain further away and makes your bathroom feel like a fancy hotel! For a nice touch, use 2 shower curtains, open in the center . . . it’ll look luxurious!

Use light colors: Some colors contribute to the feeling of spaciousness. Pale neutrals, along with white of course, are always a good choice. Pale pinks, blues and greens work well too. Try not to have too many pieces of dark wood furniture . . . but if you do, don’t be afraid to paint it!

Hang curtains high: Make ceilings look higher and walls taller by hanging curtain rods at the top of the wall not at the top of the window casing.

Pick furniture with legs: Selecting a sofa with exposed legs, instead of a skirt will make your space feel larger because you can see underneath the furniture, giving the illusion of a larger

Here are a few more SPOOKtacular tricks to enhance your home: • Update lamps with new shades • Use an odd number of items when accessorizing • Display collections together for more impact • Group family photos together to create a gallery • Paint or wallpaper the back of a bookcase or china cabinet • Look in your closet for color inspiration • Use a colorful or seasonal scarf as a table runner (see photo) • Leave walls empty that are less than 36” wide • Install dimmer switches • Reposition furniture on a diagonal for a totally new look!

I hope you have a FRIGHTfully fabulous fall season and WITCH you happy decorating!

Kylene Evans ACM Artist of the Month – September

By Jim T. Gammill

Kylene Evans has been fascinated with the harp for most of her life.

She still remembers how the instrument had made her feel when she encountered one for the first time; she was attending church and saw the instrument being played when she was only three years old! On her seventh birthday, Kylene’s parents gave her a gift that would become a very big part of her life: a 28 string Celtic harp.

Kylene began taking lessons at the age of eight and found herself under the guidance of a gifted Menifee musician named Lauren Arasim.

Her parents have been avid supporters of their daughter and her growing gift, for her tenth birthday, they bought her a 36-string lever harp and then a 47-string grand concert pedal harp in April of 2019.

Shortly after receiving her new harp, the young musician was able to attend Harp Camp at The University School of Music in Utah. At the end of the camp, Kylene and her fellow attendees performed in the beautiful Libby Gardner Concert Hall.

She has since played in venues all over her native Canyon Lake, Menifee, and the surrounding locals. Her list of performance-based accomplishments includes several church functions, weddings, funerals, and a performance of Phantom of the Opera with the Canyon Lake Choraleers (directed by local artist, Lorilee Bajema).

Evans also has been able to touch people with her music in some unlikely places. Just recently, the artist was playing her harp on a point overlooking the ocean in San Clemente.

“A woman was there, just looking out to the ocean and never saying a word. She stood there while I played for a long time, probably an hour or two.

When I stopped playing, the woman told me that she was going through a hard time and that my music had helped her immensely.”

Kylene lives in Canyon Lake with her parents, Lawrence and Michelle, and her sister, Kaitlyn.

In The Temecula Valley Hospital Performs 1st TAVR Procedure

Patients who suffer from severe aortic stenosis, which is the narrowing

of the heart’s aortic valve opening that restricts blood flow, now have a new

option available at Temecula Valley Hospital (TVH). The 1st TAVR procedure

happened this past week at TVH. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is an advanced heart valve replacement procedure that offers new

hope to patients who have aortic valve stenosis. It is a minimally invasive procedure, which can help dramatically reduce patients' recovery time.

Aortic stenosis is a common heart condition caused by the narrowing of

the heart’s aortic valve due to a buildup of calcium deposits. When the valve

narrows, it does not open or close properly, which makes the heart work

harder to pump blood through the body. This can cause the heart to weaken

and function poorly, which can lead to heart failure and an increased risk for sudden cardiac death.

TAVR is catheter-delivered aortic heart valve replacement. There is no

need for a heart-lung machine because the procedure is performed while the

heart is beating. A TAVR valve is made of biological material and is supported

with a metal stent. A catheter is advanced into the pumping chamber of the

heart under direct guidance using various imaging techniques. The heart valve is compressed and placed on a balloon catheter. The valve is posi-

tioned inside the diseased aortic valve. The balloon valve is then inflated to secure the valve in place.

Rancho Water Wins $1.7 Million in Competitive USBR Grant to Expand Recycled Water Projects Supports long-term water sustainability for the region

Rancho California Water District (Rancho Water/District) was one of only

five communities in California, Hawaii and Texas to win a competitive grant

PAGE 39 from the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). The District will re-

ceive $1,727,960 to fund the extension of their recycled water pipeline in parts

of Temecula and Murrieta. Through partnerships with the local school districts,

large homeowners’ associations, and the cities, approximately 54 landscape

areas will be converted from potable (drinking) water to recycled water, saving nearly 67 million gallons of water per year.

The District actively pursues grant funding from various agencies to re-

duce costs and to help fund projects that ensure long-term water sustainability

for the region. In July, the District also received a $750,000 grant to increase

groundwater recharge efforts. In the last ten years, Rancho Water has obtained more than $18 million in outside funding.

Conscious Parenting ~ Simplifying the Holiday Season

By Traci L. Williams

As we head into the holiday season, this is a great time to get ahead of holiday stress. Here are some tips you can use in October so Thanksgiving and Christmas don’t sneak up on you:

1) Plan Ahead. You don’t have to have every piece worked out, but you can create a Note on your phone that holds your ideas as they start coming to you. Have one Note entitled Thanksgiving and the other entitled Christmas. Put all of your thoughts on there as they show up. Decide what day you would like to review your ideas to draft your holiday plan. How many weeks before? Put that on your calendar … right now. Literally put it on your calendar before you read step #2.

That will at least get you started on the right track.

2)

Simplify. What has and has not worked for your family in the past? Which activities have left family members saying, “I don’t want to do that again!” Drop those things. Use each year to build in quality. Your kids are only little for a short time.

Those memories are precious! Drop what doesn’t work, while making sure you include something of value for each member of your family.

Overwhelm. School does not slow down for the holidays, nor does work. Yet, we add a whole list of to-dos’ every holiday season to an already full plate. If you think about it, that doesn’t make sense. How can you adjust your current plate to make room OR adjust what you add so you are not dropping important things? Just give it some consideration.

Family Meetings. Family meetings are valuable. I recommend weekly. The holidays are a great time to start because your conversations are about exciting things coming up. Why not plan ahead as a family and use that time to bond and get to know each other? You may be surprised at what your kids like and don’t like about the holidays!

Delegate. Do you have older kids? Can you share some of the tasks? What can you actually build in as a family activity? Decorating the Christmas tree together could be so much fun! Maybe that can be your family meeting one week. Get creative.

Prioritize. The bottom line: time is moving fast; everyone is busy and life doesn’t slow down for the holidays. Prioritizing is essential all year long, and particularly at the holidays. You are creating memories, traditions and habits. What do you want to see for your grandchildren down the road? Give that to your children right now, and you have increased the odds that your grandchildren will have it.

As Halloween approaches this month, consider how many trick-or-treating years you have left with your little ones. How many more Halloweens do you get to shop for and watch the excitement about their costume? They grow up fast! ENJOY this time.

ENJOY each facet of each holiday.

Whatever activities you choose to do, do them with QUALITY in mind. Do it with LOVE in mind. Be PRESENT with your kids. The season of raising children goes by in the blink of an eye. You want to look back and remember this season with joy, not regret.

For Halloween, enjoy the fun, excitement and community feel that it brings each year. Plan ahead so you can turn off work, school and stress early in the day, enjoy a solid meal and then head out for fun with your family. You will be so glad you did.

Happy Halloween!

Calling All Volunteers Beautify Lake Elsinore at City Serve 2019!

By David Baker, Dream Center Lake Elsinore

7 - 8 am: Sign in at the city parking lot next to the Dream Center headquarters at 114 East Peck Street and receive a free t-shirt and continental breakfast. At our pre-rally, work teams will be organized under the direction of a Dream Center leader.

8 - 12 noon: Projects will be completed at the various sites and water and snacks will be provided at each site, which will include the HOPE Food Pantry, City Park, various apartment sites, St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Lakeview Chapel, and the recreation of the historic home of Jean Hayman.

12 -1 pm: Reconvene for a post-rally to include a free lunch and a celebration of successes.

Dream Center volunteers organize volunteer assignments prior to City Serve 2018

NOW is the time to register you and your family, work group or church group to participate in the sixth annual City Serve event to preserve, improve and beautify Lake Elsinore. On Saturday October 12th, City Serve 2019 will be hosted by the Dream Center Lake Elsinore and with 25 separate projects taking place around the city, we need more volunteers than ever.

City Serve underscores the Dream Center's mission to restore and rebuild the people and property of Lake Elsinore, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Projects around the city will include gardening, maintenance and repair, painting, landscaping and general clean-up and trash removal. No special skills or experience is needed and tools and materials will be provided.

This is a great opportunity for families to donate a Saturday morning to improving our community while teaching our children a valuable lesson about giving back to others who need a helping hand. You needn't be a resident of Lake Elsinore to attend, we have many volunteers from all over the valley. We'd love to have over 200 volunteers on hand this year! Here is this year's schedule:

The recreation of the historic Jean Hayman house is a Habitat for Humanity project and a Dream Center team will be assisting with painting at the house. Jean and her parents moved in when she was 5 years old in 1927 and her parents owned and operated the Lake Elsinore Public Market. Jean went on to become a dedicated music teacher in the community for over 37 years and the Jean Hayman Elementary School was named in her honor. Many local volunteers, civic leaders and organizations have donated time and resources to bring this project to fruition which not only makes the dream of home ownership come true for a deserving local family but also preserves a piece of Lake Elsinore's history. You can help make this dream a reality.

Interested? Simply take a few minutes and go to the Dream Center Lake Elsinore website at https://www.dreamcenterle.org/city-serve to register online and also complete the waiver form. This not only helps us to plan and organize our work teams prior to the event but also saves you time at our pre-rally. Naturally you will want to dress for the day's weather and also for the possibility of getting a bit dirty from clean-up, painting and planting activities. We look forward to seeing you on the 12th!
