Dozens of tots and toddlers ran around the tables clutching their precious new Christmas gifts with smiles on their faces at the annual Food for the Faithful food giveaway Saturday, Dec. 19 at Valley Gospel Chapel. But, the children couldn’t be more joyful than mom Dawn Gillam, her younger son and twins who hugged and kissed returning older son U.S. Army Pvt. Job Gilliam, 19. Job Gillian, in full uniform, won praise from those attending for his service. Fresh out of boot camp at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Job surprised his brothers who ran to him in joy after missing their big brother who had been gone for months.

County eradicates 30,000 plants since July under new marijuana ordinance RIVERSIDE – More than 30,000 marijuana plants have been eradicated since July, when Riverside County began enforcing its new ban on marijuana cultivation. Sheriff’s and code enforcement teams have responded to more than 500 marijuana grows, the vast majority in two supervisorial districts in western Riverside County. The ordinance took effect July 2 and provides a tool to combat the expanding number of marijuana grows in unincorporated Riverside County. More than a year ago, Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said large marijuana growing operations had created fear among residents in his district. Growing marijuana can be prosecuted as a crime but Jeffries and other Board members wanted a land-use ordinance that could be
used to eliminate large-scale grows while allowing authorized patients to grow their own small amounts medical marijuana. Most of the marijuana grows were removed under the new ordinance but the Sheriff’s Department handled some as criminal cases. “We have made great strides in eliminating commercial marijuana grows in residential neighborhoods without generating complaints from those who were growing for their own licensed, limited personal use.” Jeffries said. “Some of that is great work by Code Enforcement and the Sheriff’s Department but as word spread about the new ordinance, far fewer grows were even planted.” Of the 30,110 marijuana plants eradicated since July 2, teams found 17,783 in supervisorial District 1 and 10,466 in District 3.
The number was 1,861 in District 5, with none in the other two districts. Grows have not been as prolific in the other two districts, perhaps because of existing development and topography. Under the ordinance, a primary caregiver or qualified patient may grow up to 12 marijuana plants on the grounds of a single-family dwelling. Twenty-four plants may be grown if there are two patients or caregivers. In both cases, at least one must live on the property. Qualified patients must have a valid medical marijuana identification card issued by the county Department of Public Health. Any primary caregiver cultivating marijuana for a qualified patient must keep a copy of the patient’s valid identification card on the premises. Growers also must meet a number of requirements in
order to qualify for the enforcement exemption. For example, all plants must be reasonably secured to prevent theft or access by minors, and marijuana cannot be grown within 1,000 feet of any school, community center, or park. County code enforcement officials said property owners generally have cooperated after being notified of violations on their property. That cooperation has occurred, at least in part, because of potential administrative penalties and abatement costs. Most property owners removed immature plants themselves to comply with the ordinance. Immature plants have not developed buds that typically are the part of the plant that is smoked or ingested. Mature plants are taken by sheriff’s officials to a site approved for disposal. Under the ordinance, the county
may bill the property owner or other responsible party to recover costs after abating a grow. If the bill is not paid within 15 days of mailing, a special assessment can be issued and the county can file a lien against the property. The ordinance includes an appeals process and also defines other nuisances that can exist as part of a marijuana growing operation, including harvesting, drying, processing or storing marijuana or plants. Such nuisances also may be subject to an administrative civil penalty up to $1,000 per day. Further violations of the ordinance within two yearswould subject violators to triple the abatement costs, as allowed under state law. The ordinance also establishes that any person who violates the ordinance is guilty of a misdemeanor.

Cooking Corner Jodi Thomas Area Manager Happy New Year! Food and our favorite recipes are an intricate part of life. We are sharing Donna Schumacher’s private collection of recipes gathered over her 80 plus years. In her life time she was a chef to many famous people as well as those connected to the entertainment industry. As social coordinator for the Treasure Island, a trailer park on the beach Donna’s culinary collection was shared in a monthly newsletter there under the heading of Donna’s Corner. Though Treasure Island no longer exists in Laguna Beach its memories are still alive in Donna’s Cookbook Intro journal; each week a bit is shared. Treasure Island was a home away from home for a lot of Hollywood which you will see reflected in her story. To review past posts and recipes go to www. anzavalleyoutlook.com and check out past printed issues. If you make Donna’s recipes, please take a photo of your culinary delight(s) and email it/them to anzaeditor@reedermedia.com. Please include a short write up about your experience. This is the last of the Treasure Island Journal: More about Donna and Francellene: Francellene’s sister, Roseann, who lives in San Diego is married
to the famous dentist, Dr. Vincent Bicano. Roseann has done TV commercials and has a son, Mark Bicano, who is a television producer. Her sister Margo used to be a nun, but is now married and living in North Carolina. Her brother, Rene, still has his fingers in many business endeavors. Barbara, Rene’s wife, makes the best brandy pancakes in the world and I am really hoping she will share that recipe with me. I remember Rene firing up the gas grill used only for brandy pancakes. Then from the gallons of batter, he would make ever so many pancakes the size of a silver dollar. We would eat them outside on their deck which was over a cliff, directly beneath the cliff was the ocean. What a beautiful setting! Her uncle, Philo Biane, was the oldest winemaker in California at age 85, and was still making the world’s best sherry. “Many a good time was had at Treasure Island which will always remain in my thoughts and in my heart. There were so many wonderful friends.”- Donna Schumacher Good for mornings and you can make the dough ahead of time. Cake Doughnuts • 6 cups flour • 2 cups sugar • 1 teaspoon nutmeg • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 3 eggs • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

PARTY from page A-1 participate in. The activities included cookies and treats, Random Acts of Kindness Game, a Nativity Craft, wreath making craft, making ornaments for the Christmas tree and the opportunity to pick out gifts for family members. Many of the volunteers were residents of the Rancho California RV Resort in Aguanga and they attend the resort’s chapel. The gifts for the family members were donated by the chapel members. FTH often joins together with local churches and other groups to provide needed support to the children of Anza and Aguanga. FTH has been in existence for 10 years and raises funds through rummage sales, community dinners and donations. Jodi Hennessy, a volunteer working at the welcome table, said she had been “lassoed in” by a friend to help and was glad she had been asked to help. She said she was “humbled” to be there and to be able to offer her help to make Christmas a little better for area children. “It’s increased my Christmas Spirit,” she said. One of the games the children played was called “Random Acts of Kindness.” This game promoted the idea of giving back to others love, joy and peace. This game helped facilitate the making of Christmas ornaments, which were placed on a Christmas tree that was to be given to the Local Anza Fire Station. While the children made their crafts, event organizer Janis Harris had the children practice a song that would be sung to the Anza Fire Fighters for their service to the community. The song followed the melody of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and one of the verses changed to honor the Fire Fighters said “Thanking our hero’s for making us safe.” For more information on From the Heart Christian Women’s Ministries visit their Facebook page or call Linda Heart at (951) 767-9354.

Anza Local JANUARY With so many businesses vying for tax dollars, it’s a good idea to buy locally, not just during the holiday season, but all year round. Shopping locally builds community which in turn, builds a safety net in times of trouble. This fall the Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce (AVCC) hosted its annual Business Expo where all chamber business members were able to set up a display for free to promote their business. For the first time in a long time, it snowed all the way down into Temecula and even Lake Elsinore, making the snow storm of Dec. 31, 2014, one for the record books. The local Hardware Store in Anza was inundated with those needing to fix frozen and busted pipes. There were even reports of wells freezing in well houses overnight, leaving residents without water. Cottonwood School conducted their Fourth/Fifth Grade and Middle School Spelling Bees on Wednesday, Jan. 7. More than 40 students participated in the four-hour competition. Winners received ribbons and advanced to the Hemet Unified School District Spelling Bee, the winners of which will go on to the county level. Recently ACE’s General Manager Kevin Short, and Members Service Manager Kathrine MacIver visited the Thimble Club ladies and presented a plaque of appreciation for their participation in the Cooperative Care Program. FEBRUARY High school juniors, Aaron Adams from Hamilton High School and Rebecca Canaday from Julian Charter School, have won an allexpense-paid trip this summer to
In January we learned that juniors Aaron Adams and Rebecca Canaday were chosen for their essays that addressed one of several predetermined topics and written in letter form to one of the area’s representatives.

The FUN Food Ministry blossomed, bringing about change in the lives of those in need. The group, which continues to grow tries to feed as many as they can who are in need of help and also to help those who need an extra boost to an already tight budget. Cowboy Days announced its new location at the Ana Valley Lions Club Arena located on Kirby Road. Kristina Bryant won the district
Voice of Democracy competition. The win propelled her to the VFW’s state competition for her first audioessay, titled, “Why Veterans Are Important to Our Nation’s History and Future.” Bryant travelled to an all-expenses paid banquet in Sacramento where she dined with winners for the different VFW Districts across the state. A strike was averted when a tentative agreement was reached between HUSD and teachers within the district. The battle had raged on for nearly two years as teachers fought for a well-deserved wage increase among other things.
Terri Ogden shared this photo of the Hamilton High School Wrestling Team and that the boys actually had attended the individual league finals. Jimmy Gilliam and Christian Lanik got first. Blaze Ogden and Max Terlisner won second and Juan Lopez got third and all went to the CIF tournament. Angel Gilliam, her daughter, had her CIF qualifier and she won second place in the southern section. She went on to masters. If she placed in the top eight she would go onto state.

In March Capt. Ray Wood addressed the community at the Anza Community Hall. It had been one year since he first took office and spoke to the community about its concerns. Many improvements had been made in service over that year.
MARCH More than 100 community members came out to the Anza Community Hall’s third annual Valentine’s Day Dinner and Dance. The Hamilton Museum announced a restoration of the old tool shed and exhibit of a large collection of items and pictures depicting early farm and ranch life in Anza and the surrounding area. The Thimble Club donated three benches to Minor Park. The Anza Community Hall Association voted in a new board following a heated discussion and what members called questionable practices of the previous board. Noel Donahue was named president. Members of Hamilton High School’s senior class held a fashion show complete with a dinner provided by local businesses. Models donned a number of dresses including a collection kept by Cottonwood teacher Rebecca Packard. APRIL Painter Richard Stergulz was announced as the Anza Valley Artist’s featured artist during the group’s Spring Heart of the High Country Art Show. Anza VFW Post 1873 was renamed in memory of Capt. John Drivick III who passed away in December of 2013. Drivick, a longtime member of the post was known for his kindness as well as leadership at the post. Valley Gospel Chapel announced a new community involvement initiative called Servolution. The nationwide movement focuses on the week prior to Easter when the entire church body gathers to serve various families or establishments within the community. The Women’s Professional Rodeo Association announced it would
hold a sanctioned barrel racing event in Anza during Cowboy Days, a first for the popular community event. MAY A report issued by Anza Community Hall Association Board President Noel Donahue cited missing records and questionable actions as a common problem of the previous board. Allegations that the hall had lost its 501(c)(3) status were incorrect, Donahue said. Instead the Hall’s nonprofit corporation was suspended by the Secretary of State was a far more serious matter, she said. Anza electric announced its ConnectAnza program, designed to bringing high speed internet to residents of Anza and the surrounding area. It was announced that the Anza Mower Racing season opener on April 25 saw record attendance in spite of the cold, wet weather. A new pet food bank, the AnzaAguanga Community Pet Food Bank worked to fill a need during the tough economic times providing food for pets for those struggling to make ends meet. Local Internet Providers Anza Wireless and Wireless Internet Pros said that claims made by Anza Electric were untrue regarding its proposed ConnectAnza Program. The two business owners said that AEC’s wireless program would be no different than what was currently available in the Anza Valley. The first Anza Lions Gymkhana of the year was held and the Redshank Rider’s Trail Trial competition raised funds for some much needed trail work. JUNE Daniel Hotchkiss completed his Eagle project, earning the rank of Eagle Scout with Boy Scout Troop 391.

Local photographer and frequent Anza Valley Outlook contributor Michelle Hunt was recognized by www.gurushots.com in its spring fever category for her nature photography. Hamilton High School graduated nearly 80 students during a ceremony held in May. Anza Days participation was down, Anza Lions President Greg Johnson announced. The lack of participation was reportedly due to the fact that the popular event would fall on the Fourth of July and left organizers scrambling to hold a successful event. ConnectAnza was one step closer to becoming a reality after a record vote was held during which, more than 1,000 votes were cast to change the bylaws of the Anza Electric Cooperative allowing for the creation of the new Internet Service Provider which would bring fiber optics based services to the area. JULY Five people announced their intent to run for three seats on the Anza Electric Cooperative board. Incumbent Joel Carlisle, Alan Thomas, Elena Mafla and Annette Gilliam and incumbent Harold Burdick all ran for seats on the board. Incumbent Billy Adams ran unopposed for his seat in District II, automatically winning the seat. Anza Trail Town Group won the support of the Riverside County Board of Supervisors when Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington announced his intent to support the initiative. Anza Days was held on July 4th. Complete with the annual parade, pancake breakfast and fun for the entire family, the event was a successful one in spite of initial fears regarding a lack of support. More than 4,000 Anza Electric Cooperative members would see a reduced September electric bill thanks to a favorable 2014 financial report. Third District Supervisor Chuck Washington held a meeting with Anza Valley constituents. Washington heard resident’s concerns, including marijuana eradication, during the meeting held in mid-July. Billy Adams, Joel Carlisle and Harold Burdick were all re-elected to the Anza electric Cooperative Board of Directors during the AEC Annual Meeting.

Hamilton High School’s Bobcat 2015 Football Team played its traditional Chicken and Beans game on Friday evening, Aug.14.

SEPTEMBER The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the purchase of a 2.69-acre property which will become the permanent site of the Riverside County Fire Department’s Station 77 in Aguanga.

Anza Local OCTOBER Anza area residents were offered the opportunity to meet Third District Supervisor candidate Randon Lane on Monday, Sept. 21 at a Meet and Greet event held at the Anza Community Hall. Lane spoke about his views and listened to concerns expressed by area residents. If elected, Lane will serve all the areas in the unincorporated 3rd supervisory district which includes Anza and Aguanga. Louis Ippolito has always been passionate about creating good food for his friends and family. He has dreamt for some time to extend that passion of creating good food and sharing it with the public at large. On Oct. 16, Ippolito’s dream became a reality as he opens up the Community Café located at the Anza Community Hall. One woman, later identified as Margaret Wagner, 62, of Aguanga, was shot and killed in an officer involved shooting on Friday, Oct. 9 following an hours long stand-off with police at her home. The circumstances surrounding her death were not immediately announced and many residents had questions following the shooting, claiming years of alleged domestic violence may have led to her death. Riverside County Sheriff’s department remains mum on the shooting to this day. Children dressed in all kinds of costumes and riding stick horses was one of the fun activities at the first Halloween Play Day at Lake Riverside Estates Equestrian Center on Oct. 31. The children colored, glued and stuffed horse heads and attached them to yard sticks and these magical horses became the equestrian companions for the children for the afternoon. Each stick horse was unique, from black horses to paint horses, short manes or long manes all were colored and made by the child and their family. NOVEMBER Anza residents learned about what they can do once they find an abandoned animal and when special clinics for pets will be held during a special community meeting at the Anza Community Hall Wednesday Nov. 4. Hemet Unified School District received Riverside County Board of Education’s Models of Excellence and Innovation Award for successfully implementing the Building Assets Reducing Risks program at the district’s four high schools. Hamilton High School, along with Tahquitz High School, Hemet High School, and West Valley High School received the awards. Frank Vernon PhD, Research Seismologist from the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography gave a lecture on Nov. 6, hosted by the Hamilton Museum at the Anza Valley Library, telling those attending about the research being conducted on earthquakes
in the Anza Valley. Due to Anza’s close proximity to the San Jacinto Fault Zone it is the ideal location for seismology research, Vernon said. The “Queen,” alias Teri Crutchfield, and the “Princess” alias America Daniels, and their appointed court opened the first Anza Renaissance Fair by strolling the grounds in regal fashion at Kirby and Highway 371 Saturday, Nov. 14. Morongo Band of Mission Indians, for the fourth year, donated turkeys to the Anza Food for the Faithful Food bank Wednesday Nov. 17. The donation helped to feed 200 families for Thanksgiving.
In October the new Community Cafe was opened. Pictured is patron Jan Torongo, Luis Ippolito owner and patron Michael Alexander. President Noel Donahue explained that it is the need for staffing and a comfortable situation for those who may need to use the Hall when the County has declared the Anza Community Hall a warm up or cool down program to be in place. This program creates a safe place for those who need a place to get warm or to cool down during extreme temperatures. This was a factor in the Anza Community Hall’s Board decision to allow the cafe to open in the Anza Community Hall.
In November we learn that a new community is born, ‘Dare to Dream’ at Thomas Mount Ranch.
This December the community came together to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season with the Anza Valley Outlook file photos town’s tree lighting.
DECEMBER The theme of the Anza’s eighth annual Christmas Tree Lighting Dec. 5 was presented much like the lyrics of the old German Carol “Tannenbaum” or “O’ Christmas Tree,” as the crowd stood out in the windy 50-degree weather to see their beloved tree light up the street. Hamilton High School Senior and Bobcat Football’s 6 foot 5 left lineman received a Coach Bob Stangel Award by the Hemet Sportsman’s Club Saturday, Dec. 12 as the best football player in the Anza school. The special award presented by the Hemet Sportsman’s Club, is awarded to the top high school senior football players of the seven high schools in the Hemet and San Jacinto School District, including the private schools. Anza residents were advised to be prepared for the upcoming El Niño during a presentation given by representatives from the three Riverside County flood control and emergency management agencies appearing Wednesday evening, Dec. 9 at the Anza Community Hall. Emphasizing the warning was the issuance of 50 free sandbags to residents attending the Anza Valley Municipal Advisory Council and a telephone number they can to use to call for help preparing for El Niño. From the Heart Christian women’s ministry handed out gifts for Christmas to more than 400 Anza and Aguanga children Thursday, Dec. 17 at the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church as part of their goal to help needy children throughout the valleys. The local Anza Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Chapter held an awards dinner for those who had entered the Voice of Democracy Essay Contest and the Patriots Pen Essay Contest on Dec. 16 at the VFW Post in Terwilliger. The winners of the Patriots Pen included Shelby Eggering, 12 from Hamilton Middle School and Lolita Garcia 14 from Hamilton Middle School. The winner of the Voice of Democracy is Makayla Ruffing-Teel 15 from Hamilton High School and Runner-up is Alissa Kaabe 15 from Hamilton High School.
TOYS from page A-1 The Gilliam Family joined with more than 160 Anza and Aguanga Valley families who brought their children to the annual Food for the Faithful Toys for Tots program held at Valley Gospel Chapel, at 43275 Chapman Ave. in rural Anza. Adding to the fun was a chance to meet Santa Claus, played by Butch Helms, and a meal of hamburgers and hot dogs. Each child received a photograph with the jolly old elf to keep in their happy memories. After receiving their gift, each child sat down with the families to enjoy a hamburger or hot dog meal and a soft drink. Every table in the church’s community hall was filled with happy families leaving barely enough room to walk around. The festivities continued for three hours as more and more families arrived. “We are giving away more than 700 donated gifts to the children, but I don’t know if it was enough,” Food for the Faithful President

There are big smiles on twins Hunter and Adan Gilham as their big brother Pvt. Job Gillam comes home for Christmas after months of training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. preparing for his assignment to the 82nd Airborne Division. Esther Barragan said at the special event. Every year in addition to their regular food giveaway to needy Valley families, the organization collects Christmas toys for the younger children so they can have an even happier holiday. “We had more families than ever before this year,” Barragan said. “We are so grateful to all the businesses and people who donated the gifts and food this year.” The Valley Gospel Chapel offered their facility for the dinner and gift giveaway, with 200 hot dogs donated by the Dairy Queen in Anza, and 700 hamburgers, with all the trimmings, donated by the Paradise Valley Café at Highways 74 and 371 in Mountain Center, noted Barragan.
The San Diego Chargers, hearing of the program, also donated an autographed football to Food for the Faithful that was raffled off. Treasure Tyler of Anza was the young lady who won the raffle. Barragan said Anza Electric Cooperative donated $250 and Sacred Heart Catholic Church made a $750 donation to help buy the gifts and other items for the children. AEC also donated the Santa suit worn by Helms. Many of the toys were collected by the San Diego Marines Toys for Tots program and the Garner Valley Gals making the event a special success.

Day Trippin, Whale watching season is here
The Grey Whale Migration is counted from December to May each year daily by American Cetacean Society volunteers from the Point Vicente Interpretive Center patio.
Jodi Thomas Area Manager Editor’s note; The major holidays are over and the New Year is here and it is time for ‘Day Trippin.’ ‘Day Trippin’ is trips that can be made in a day, taken over the winter and spring usually on or over the weekend, before the summer vacation comes. They are economical and fun. Some of my best memories as a kid was ‘Day Trippin’ with my Grandparents. It is how I came to know the southland in all its uniqueness. So I hope you enjoy the journey as we begin our Day Trippin adventures in 2016. Something we have here in Southern California is whale watching, right from the shoreline, no boat or sea sickness required. From the Valley you travel Northwest to San Pedro where around the coastline of the Palos Verde Peninsula you will find many hidden treasures. The Peninsula was once the home of the famous Marineland which is now trumps development – 102 private acres, Terranea – which is a beautiful oceanfront resort offering scenic views of the Catalina Island. Just past it is one of several local lighthouses in the area, Point Vicente Lighthouse. Point Vicente Lighthouse is very picturesque situated on a bluff surrounded by palms overlooking the Pacific Ocean with Catalina Island in full view. The Lighthouse is still in use and main-

tained by the U.S. Coast Guard. Traveling farther north past the lighthouse around the Peninsula on the next bluff over, is the Point Vicente Interpretive Center and whale watching patio. There, from December to May, American Cetacean Society volunteers gather daily at the Center to conduct a census of whales passing through the Catalina Channel. These volunteers are happy to talk about whales, their numbers, and answer other questions visitors may have, but please be courteous and never get in front of them and their observation equipment. It is really a fascinating set up they have as they work together first to spot the whale then after noting its behavior, type, and location each time it surfaces. Inside the center is a variety of information from the type whales

passing by, old Marineland memorabilia and information on the Native People who lived in the area. Another plus about this area is the wonderful coastal trails that start up near the Lighthouse parking lot and extent for miles north along the shoreline. All in all, it makes for a beautiful outing, bring a folding chair, a lunch, binoculars and enjoy the most spectacular ocean front view in Southern California. You never know from December to May, you might get lucky and see a gray whale on its way from the Pacific Northwest to its caving grounds in Mexico and back again. On our end of the year trip to the coast, we were privileged to see a great gray going south then it turned north for a while it may have been feeding off the ocean floor. We learned that gray whales

love tube worms and small crustaceans such as the shrimp-like amphipods. A whale will swallow approximately 70 metric tons of food daily. The Point Vicente Lighthouse is open for tours on the second Saturday of each month, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., except for the month of April when it is open on the first Saturday in conjunction with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes’ Whale of a Day Festival; the hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The lighthouse and grounds are federal property owned and operated by the United States Coast Guard. For more information, call (310) 541-0334 or visit www.vicentelight.org. Point Vicente Lighthouse is located at 31550 Palos Verdes Drive West in
Rancho Palos Verdes. Point Vicente Interpretive Center is located at 31501 Palos Verdes Drive West in Rancho Palos Verdes and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. year-round, with extended hours during summer. The facility is closed on Jan. 1, Thanksgiving Day, Dec. 24, and Dec. 25. The park grounds are open until dusk. Picnic areas are available. Barbecues and fires are prohibited. Dogs must be leashed. Call (310) 377-5370. When visiting the coast, it is good to call to make sure it is not fogged in.

of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds...” (2 Corinthians 10:4). It is a spiritual battle that rages. When Daniel in the Old Testament (10:13) prayed he was told by a visiting Angel that he had been delayed by a battle in the heavens on his way. He was coming to give Daniel an answer to his earnest prayers concerning the maters of the King. Ephesians 6:12 says,” We battle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
We still deal with life in the physical but we as believers should always go to God in prayer, both personally and corporately, and if someone is too weak to pray. Others should stand with them and have their back. We need to know the Word and hide it in our hearts so we can become wise of heart and hear and know God’s heart. Hugs, a kind word, compassion, even tears can be very healing. Be good to one another, be gracious, be understanding and together as a Nation and as a people we can make it through, learn from our past and pray together. Together in faith we can make a change.
Food for thought; a call to the Believer Jodi Thomas Area Manager As I talk with people we often discuss what is on their mind and lately the conversation turns to what happened to last year – 2015. Christmas has come and gone at a record pace and by the time the AVO comes out it will be 2016 New Year’s Eve/Day. Sadly, it was a year that ended in chaos. An act of terror weighs heavy on many minds. It is a loss for the Nation and for many, a personal reminder of just how fragile our reality really is. Personally,
my children live nearby where it happened in San Bernardino. It was our old stomping grounds when years ago, we used to eat at the restaurants nearby and my husband’s old employer’s office was nearby too. How do we move on into the New Year with so much change in the past and looming on the horizon? How do we protect our families is on the minds of many. The old norm is out and a new one must be created. The Bible says mourn with those who mourn and weep with those who weep. I think there is a lot
to reflect upon as a Nation, as a church, as a community, as a family and as a people. The Bible also says “Joy comes in the morning.” In other words, with faith there is always a chance for a better tomorrow. We are told by God in his Word “If my people will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land,” (2 Chronicles 7:14). Is it not time to gather together as believers and do just that? The Word says, “The weapons
Christmas tree recycling helps fish in Riverside County RIVERSIDE – Who knew your holiday trees could make life a little better for fish? The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources is working closely with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect Christmas trees at county landfills and provide them for fish habitat. The county landfill department is always looking for innovative ways to divert waste and preserve valuable landfill space. Christmas trees collected at the Badlands, Blythe, and Lamb Canyon landfills through the free Christmas tree drop-off program will be provided to the state, which will sink the trees in local lakes and waterways so that juvenile fish have a little more protection from larger predatory fish. Trees must be prepared for recycling by removing all decorations, lights, tinsel and tree stands. Flocked trees cannot be recycled
and need to be cut up and placed into your regular trash container. Other Christmas trees that are recycled, at free drop-off sites or at the curb, will be taken to local green waste processors to be recycled into compost or mulch products. Most trash haulers will collect Christmas trees curbside for two weeks after Christmas. Place the prepared tree next to or inside the green waste container on your regular pickup day. Trees over 4 feet tall should be cut in half. Contact your waste hauler for more details. For those who don’t have a curbside pickup program, there are several drop-off locations that will accept up to three residential prepared trees for free until Jan. 9. Drop offs are being accept at A. Lua Wood Recycling, 18938 Mermack Ave. in Lake Elsinore, B.P. John Recycling, 28700 Matthews Road in Romoland, Burrtec
Recycle Center, 41-800 Corporate Way in Palm Desert, Burrtec/Robert A Nelson Transfer Station, 1830 Agua Mansa Road in Riverside, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, 17041 S. Lovekin Blvd. in Blythe, Riverside County Badlands Landfill, 31125 Ironwood Ave. in Moreno Valley, Riverside County Blythe Landfill, 1000 Midland Road in Blythe and Riverside County Lamb Canyon Landfill, 16411 Lamb Canyon Road in Beaumont. Unfortunately, trees that are not recycled at drop-off locations or through curbside pickup will only occupy valuable space in our landfills. If you would like more information on this program, please call Riverside County Department of Waste Resources (951) 486-3200 or visit the waste guide on our website for more green holiday suggestions online by visiting www.rcwaste.org/ opencms/WasteGuide/holiday.html.

The Trump phenomenon explained Harold Pease, Ph. D Columnist The establishment media is baffled. They have controlled presidential elections since Woodrow Wilson by how they cover candidates—even more so with the advent of television. First, by limiting coverage to but two political parties of normally over twenty offering presidential candidates in every contest. Essentially, if they do not give coverage you or your party does not exist. Second, the media shows preference by time given, comments supporting or not, questions asked or not, and placement in debates (whomever gets coveted center stage automatically gets more spotlight coverage) and etc. The first election is always the www.anzavalleyoutlook.com

medias as they alone define serious candidates. Collectively the establishment media has attempted to show Donald Trump as, a joke—certainly not a serious candidate, not a real conservative, a flip-flopper on the issues, anti-women, antiimmigration, insulting to everyone, a braggart, only into himself, least likely to beat Hillary Clinton, only attractive to white males, and not in touch with reality with respect to the Middle East, and more. They may be correct in some or all of these assumptions, and the constant barrage of but a third of these charges would have easily destroyed previous candidates. So why not Trump? The establishment (sometimes prefaced by money or eastern) is likewise baffled. For over a hundred years, since William McKinley they, with the help of the media that they largely own, have propelled into power politicians sympathetic to their interests in both parties so that their interests get attention no matter which of their two political parties, Democrat or Republican, gets elected. Control of foreign policy is never out of their hands. They oppose nationalism favoring coalition governance. Problem solving is much preferred on the world level, as in the UN, or in regional governments, NATO, the European Union and eventually the American Union. They push for international trade agreements that

indeed invaded our country and taken, not just the jobs Americans did not want, but the ones that they do want as well. They have entered every field and their illegal children, being bilingual, are now favored in most other jobs. When a politician says that he will build a fence to help preserve their jobs almost no one believes him. Trump is a builder, has built magnificent structures, and is believed. Simply put the media, the establishment, and the political parties have lost their credibility. The more the establishment or media gang up on Trump the more his following grows. He even tells off the media. His bravado is even somewhat refreshing from the Bush’s, Clinton’s, Boehner’s and McConnell’s. To return to yet another Bush, even though he is loaded with establishment money and has placed more television ads with that money than all others of both parties put together, is not going to happen. Nor is it likely for others favored by the establishment like Chris Christie, or John Kasich. The establishment has recently switched from Jeb Bush to Marco Rubio but even he, having run the second most number of television ads, has not gained the trust and traction equal to the money spent. The establishment opposition to Trump certifies another factor in his favor. He is not one of them. He will not be control by them, as have his predecessors from both parties. Nor will any special inter-
est group control him, as he takes no money from them. This may be the first time in 120 years that this is the case. Only the Constitution should guide and restrain him—not the moneyed establishment. This brings up another factor in his favor, also not mentioned by the press. Most Americans believe that the economy is on a crash course. No country can long endure when more money is spent than taken in. No candidate understands the economy better than Trump having worked successfully with it for decades. He has the most incentive to get it back to a sound base than any other candidate, or even you or I; we lose hundreds when it goes, he loses billions. The Trump phenomenon is essentially a rebellion against the media and the establishment by a population tired of being manipulated every four years into staying with the same failed internationalist foreign policy presented by establishment candidates of both parties. Dr. Harold Pease is a syndicated columnist and an expert on the United States Constitution. He has dedicated his career to studying the writings of the Founding Fathers and applying that knowledge to current events. He has taught history and political science from this perspective for over 25 years at Taft College. To read more of his weekly articles, please visitwww. LibertyUnderFire.org.
with a government that was based on the principles set forth in the Bible, it is not only reasonable but right that we observe this day. If you, as a Christian, ever have a reason to celebrate it is this: God sent his son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him, might be saved (John 3:17). There is no way for a sinful man to stand before a righteous God on his own. Many have tried, but all have failed. The good news is that God loved us so much that he made a way through Jesus. God gave his chosen Jewish people the law to point out their need – our need – of a savior. Then, the promised Messiah, who was to be a blessing to all the nations (Genesis 18:18) was born. His birth, life and death were a fulfillment of the Hebrew scriptures. What an awesome God to have given us this indescribable gift! All that is necessary to receive this gift is to be willing to accept it and believe (Romans 10:9). “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God”
(Romans 1:20). However, many still ignore Him. Why? For the simple reason that no one is there to show them the light. This is the beauty of the celebration of Christmas. It is a once-a-year opportunity to share the reason for the season to a receptive audience. What are the words that are synonymous with Christmas? Peace and joy. These are two things everyone wants and yet now, more than ever before, they may seem out of reach. We live in a world of change. We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. It is such a comfort to know that God never changes. His promises are sure. With Him our future is secure. Wishing each and every one of you the peace and joy that only comes from following Him. Merry Christmas! Jane Chastain is a Southern California-based broadcaster, author and political commentator. Despite her present emphasis on politics, Jane always will be remembered as the nation’s first female TV sportscaster, spending 17 years on the sports beat. Jane blogs at JaneChastain.com. She is a pilot who lives on a private runway.
Why Christmas matters Jane Chastain Columnist Last week, I went into the Gap to buy a gift card for a young friend of ours. I asked for one that said “Merry Christmas,” and the clerk said, “Oh, you won’t find anything like that in here.” I was stunned. Then I remembered an email I received from the American Family Association on its “Naughty or Nice” list listing retailers who were friendly or openly hostile to this annual opportunity to celebrate the birth of Christ. I made a mental note to go back and check that “Naughty or Nice” list as I thanked the clerk, but told her that I would go elsewhere. Why would any company that does business in the United States go out of its way to insult 90 percent of the population? Could it be that we are so busy “celebrating” that we have forgotten the reason for the season or that we no longer care? The truth is there are some Christians who are hostile to Christmas. When the Puritans ruled England they outlawed the practice. They did the same here after establishing colonies in the New World. The exact date of the birth of Christ is unknown. Early Chris-
tians may have adopted Dec. 25 to coincide with the celebration of the winter solstice and the date the Romans marked the birthday of their sun god. Everyone was already in a party mood. Some say this is a bad thing, and to that I borrow the words of Charles Dickens and say, “Bah humbug!” In his letter to the Romans, Paul wrote, “Don’t be overcome by evil but overcome evil with good.” It is likely that’s what those early Christians had in mind when they adopted this date – to turn this celebration for the sun into one that honors the birth of God’s son. Since Jesus was a Jew, it also is likely they adopted this date to coincide with Hanukkah, the festival of lights since Jesus is the “light of the world.” Dec. 25, Christmas, is celebrated around the world as a major festival day and is often observed as a public holiday, even in many countries with non-Christian populations. So, why would we here in the U.S. abolish the practice in favor of political correctness? No one has to celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday. In fact, no one has to celebrate Christmas at all, but in a nation that was settled by Christians fleeing persecution and

reduce U.S. sovereignty (NAFT, GATT, and most recently the TransPacific Partnership). Perpetual war feeds the “Industrial Military Complex” President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us to avoid. They benefit from increased power and money. They universally oppose an audit of the Federal Reserve, which they have controlled since 1913, and their support for foreign aid has never faltered, regardless of which party is in power. They destroy anyone not supportive of these things. So again, why not Trump? The answer to why not Trump is almost too obvious. In the items mentioned above both parties look too much alike. Most Americans know that something is wrong—really wrong. Today Independents, those refusing to align Democrat or Republican, is about 40%, stronger than either party. Most Americans feel lied to by both parties and the media. Presidents from either party are strongly disliked by the time they finish their second term. The people feel deceived when they elect politicians to restore the Constitution and the economy and these same politicians appeared to join the other side as soon as they arrived in Washington D.C. Many have wondered the value of their vote outside “the lesser of two evils” philosophy. Enter Donald Trump who mostly says what others were afraid to say, beginning with illegal immigration.

The Orange Mallard Fudd Special to Anza Valley Outlook Years ago in Anza California I lived near Bautista Canyon Road. Now this road leaves Anza towards the northwest and finally winds its way down to Valle Vista a small town just east of Hemet. Back in the day the road was entirely dirt from Anza on down. It was a rough drive with lots of ruts and sand and a creek crossing but not entirely a bad drive because of the beauty of the land you go through (in fact it is still a nice drive today). The road starts off going through high desert terrain with cottonwoods on either side of the road and as it descends there are beautiful Manzanitas, Spanish daggers and Yucca
mixed with greasewood and Redshank. As you enter Hemet valley there are large groves of orange trees and in the spring and early summer the fragrance is almost overpowering. I left Anza one day to go grocery shopping in Hemet. I had my two boys with me and decided to take this leisurely road. We had a good time going down the canyon. Both boys were very young and of course had a lot of questions about what we saw. When we reached the bottom and the orange groves the boys were amazed at the orange trees. “Dad,” they said, “are those real oranges?” I replied that “Yes, they certainly were.” “You mean oranges grow on trees dad?”
“Sure do.” Then I thought I would show them, I pulled the car over and leaving them inside walked to a tree and picked an orange to bring to them. As I was walking back to the car I saw a pickup truck approach. It pulled up and a slender elderly man got out. He approached and asked me what I was doing. I told him that my kids didn’t believe that an orange could grow on a tree and was showing them. He said, “showing them to be thieves?” He then told me he was the owner of the grove. I immediately realized he was absolutely right and told him so. I turned to my kids and said, “You know what he is right I should never have taken something which was not mine and I am going to apologize to
Visit our newly
this man.” The man said, “What do you think would happen to my crop if everyone that came passed here took a few oranges?” I wanted to say to him that I didn’t take oranges, just one orange to show my kids but I knew he was right I didn’t have the right to take what was not mine. I explained why I had done what I had done and again apologized and offered to pay for the orange. He told me no, he didn’t want any money for the orange then he told me he liked what I had said to my kids and told me next time just come by my place it’s the one on the left down the road and I’ll give you a bag. He was a good man and exactly right. It was a lesson learned for me and my boys.

A look back at the 2015 year in Valley sports
JP Raineri & Dean Fioresi Sports Writers
that prevented her from moving for months. Defying all odds, Hilton recovered to compete in national championships once again, earning herself a spot with Gatorade’s campaign. Great Oak, Rancho Christian and Elsinore boys’ basketball teams finished the 2014-15 seasons with league titles. Great Oak completed an undefeated league season on their way to a Southwestern League title. Rancho Christian finished atop the South Valley league with a 9-1 record against opponents. Elsinore would follow suit, also finishing with a 9-1 record over their Sunbelt League opponents. California Lutheran, California Military, Vista Murrieta and Lakeside High School girls’ basketball teams captured league titles. With 10-0 records, Vista Murrieta walked away with a Southwestern League title and Lakeside with a Sunbelt League title. California Lutheran would take the Arrowhead League title with a 9-3 record, and California Military (7-1) in the South Valley League.
It was a great year in sports for parents, athletes, teams, coaches, players and fans from Southwest Riverside County and whether it was from the littlest baseball players to the oldest of Water Skiers, Taekwondo national championships, skydivers or pole dancing seniors, the Valley News Sports Department tried not to miss a beat… or kick… score or cheer. Here are some of the highlights from 2015 featuring what we believe were some of the top stories from The Valley News. JANUARY As the New Year began, the winter sports seasons for the local area athletes was just getting underway. January played host to sports like basketball, wrestling, water polo and soccer to name a few. Great Oak’s cross country head coach, Doug Soles, was recognized as the California Cross Country Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. In 2014, Soles led the Great Oak Girl’s Cross Country team to their third straight CIF Championship, their fourth State title, and sent seven girls to compete in the Nike Cross Nationals. Dorothy McElhinney Middle School’s Varsity team took first place overall in the Middle School Volleyball league for the third straight year, followed by Vail Ranch Middle school as the runnerup. McElhinney’s JV team would also win their division, ahead of runner-up Shivela. The JV-2 title would go to Bella Vista Middle School. Great Oak graduate Eli Lingos joined the Arizona State University baseball team for the 2015 season. Lingos pitched in 19 innings with ASU, the most amongst all freshman pitchers. Great Oak boys’ soccer finished in second place at the Citrus Hill Tournament. After defeating three teams by a combined score of 103, they would fall in the finals to Riverside King, 2-1. Vista Murrieta’s Sydney Romero was selected for the 2015 USA Softball Junior Women’s National team. Romero, a University of Oklahoma infielder, was one of 17 players from across the nation selected for the team and she helped

the team compete in the World Cup of Softball and the ISF Junior Women’s World Championships, where they won two Gold medals. Aydan Bowers of Vista Murrieta broke the school record for most goals in a season with his 13th goal of the season on Jan. 23, Vista’s first ever win over Murrieta Valley. Bowers would go on to commit to San Francisco State University soccer where he played in 14 games. The Great Oak Girls Frosh/ Soph Soccer team finished second in the Santiago Shark Cup. The girls team consisting of freshman and sophomores would outscore their opponents 14-3 before falling to Santiago High School in the finals, 1-0. Arsenal FC South’s GU11 team captured a San Diego President’s Cup Championship win thanks to strong performances from several girls who had multiple goals. Jordan Florence would be named the tournament MVP with her threegoal performance in the finals win over FC Sol. Linfield Lions head football coach Dechon Burns was selected to join former NFL linebacker and Hall of Famer Mike Singletary as a member of Singletary’s coaching staff in the 90th East-West Shrine

Game on Jan. 27. The East-West game is a college All-Star game that includes hundreds of players that go on to play in the NFL. FEBRUARY Temecula skydiver Tramaine Barnett won a gold medal at the Collegiate Skydiving Championships. Barnett, competing with fellow students from the U.S. Air Force Academy, won gold on the four-way formation event with his team, the Air Force Mayhem. Murrieta Mesa varsity baseball took first place in the MLK Baseball Tournament in Tahquitz in early February. They dominated all opponents, outscoring them 23-1 before an 8-5 victory over Paraclete High School in the finals. TVHS finished second in the Temecula Valley Basketball Showcase, falling to Tahquitz by a score of 55-52. Other Southwestern teams to earn wins in the tournament were Great Oak and Vista Murrieta. Local gymnast Annie Hilton, 14, was featured on Gatorade’s “Win from Within” campaign, featuring athletes with a driving force behind their love of sports. Hilton suffered an injury in 2014 that exposed a serious underlying spinal injury

Sports FEBRUARY (cont.) Jeremy McCullough was named head coach of the Chaparral Pumas varsity football team after a four-year run from Ryan Tukua. In his first season as the Pumas head coach, the team finished 3-7 overall and 1-4 in league. Murrieta Mesa girls’ soccer finished as Southwestern League Champs following a 7-2-1 record in league. The Rams clinched the title with a 1-0 win over Chaparral High School. They finished one game ahead of Chaparral, 2014’s champs. Temecula Resident Jerry Kenan was honored at the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA tour for his contributions to the tournament. Kenan won the Volunteer Challenge, presenting a $10,000 check to The Century Club of San Diego, Inc. For the 27th straight season, TVHS Wrestling won a league title, the most previous 17 coming in the Southwestern League. In SWL League Individual Finals, both TV and Vista Murrieta would finish with five champions in their respective weight classes. Great Oak would finish with two and both Murrieta Mesa and Chaparral with one. The Citrus Belt Area Athletic Directors Association inducted CIF SS Executive Board member Jim Perry into their Hall of Fame. Darius Mott, Murrieta Valley High School Athletic Director was named 2015 Rookie AD of the Year, managing 47 different teams on MV’s campus. Helen Hunt Jackson Elementary School got a visit from NFL player Datone Jones in late February while visiting his family in Temecula. Jones, currently with the Packers, played college football at UCLA, and responded to letters from students at the school who wanted him to visit. The Temecula Warriors 10-andUnder Hockey team won gold at the Western Inline Hockey Association’s tournament, winning their final game 6-2 over the Corona Bulldogs. Andrew Williams of the Warriors took home the tournament’s top scorer award and goalie Robert Michaelsen won top goaltender. MARCH Vista Murrieta alumni Joven Afenir broke the University of Kansas record for most consecutive hits, with seven. During that

stretch he also set the Jayhawks record for most consecutive times on base, with nine. Afenir, now a junior at Kansas, hit .293 last season with two homers and 23 RBIs. Eight different local wrestlers qualified for state in 2015. From Temecula Valley: Christian Mateos and Joshy Cortez; Vista Murrieta: Jacob Cooper and Rachaun Wagstaff; Chaparral – Garrett Strang; Elsinore – Kenneth Kirk; and Temescal Canyon – Todd Stafford and Dave Eubanks. Chaparral High School and Calvary Murrieta added new athletic directors in early March of 2015. After a long tenure at Valley View High School, where he was Varsity Football Head Coach and Varsity Baseball Assistant Coach, Chaparral was lucky to hire David Reisinger as their new Athletics Director. Calvary Murrieta also added an experienced member to their athletics team, naming Jeff Nichols their new AD. Nichols previously coached at Calvary for 10 years before taking a two-year hiatus with Linfield High School.
In April of 2015 Murrieta Mesa senior Nathan Smith signed an early commit to join USC for the 2016-17 season on a full scholarship.
The Rancho Christian Eagles boys’ basketball team made it to their first CIF SS Division 5AA Finals for the first time in school history. A couple of clutch free throws sent the Eagles over Capistrano Valley, as they made their way to their first ever Championship round. Unfortunately, they would lose in the finals to St. Bernard, 60-56. The Eagles would then go on to play in State, where they would fall in the second-round to Price High School. Great Oak basketball fell in the CIF Division 1AA Finals to Village Christian, 79-61. Despite a stellar run that brought them to the finals, the team couldn’t pull out that one last win. The game was held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, normally home of the Ducks. It was the first time in Great Oak basketball history that a team had made the finals. Former Murrieta Mesa High School golfer Ian Mackenzie took home a championship at the Palmer Flight in Golf Channel Tour Tournament. Mackenzie attended Murrieta Mesa for just his freshman year, where he played on the varsity golf team before transferring to Fallbrook High. The Temescal Canyon Girls Soccer team won the CIF Division 6 Championships with a 2-1 victory of Paloma Valley. After failing to defeat Paloma in their first two matchups of the 2015 season, Temescal Canyon was finally able to strike gold, earning their first ever CIF Championship. Linfield Christian’s Taylor Bush signed his intent to play at Westmont College in late March. Bush, a shortstop by trade, picked Westmont over several other colleges to join his brother who also plays with the team. The National Football Foundation honored 20 local students for their abilities to excel in both the academics field and on the football field. Their names, now enshrined in the College Hall of Fame’s High School Scholar-Athlete Section, were closely scrutinized by a selection committee to determine the most eligible candidates. Of the 20 students, nine came from local leagues like the Southwester, Sunbelt and Sun Valley. Former Temecula Valley Golden Bear Tammy Kim, qualified for the NCAA Track and Field Championships in 2015. Kim, a 2012
graduate from TV, now a senior at Harding University, helped her team secure NCAA II All-Central Region honors, while winning the Lone Star Conference Title. Kim specializes in the second leg of the 400-meter distance medley relay. The Vista Murrieta girls’ basketball team advanced to the semifinals of the CIF Division 1 championships, before being downed by Serra High School, 71-56. Serra would go on to win the Regional finals though, meaning the girls lost to the best team. APRIL 19 different local players were named to their All CIF-SS Teams in early April. Four athletes from Temescal Canyon; three from Paloma Valley; two from Vista Murrieta, Murrieta Valley, California Lutheran and Santa Rosa Academy; and one from Lakeside and Calvary Murrieta. Temescal Canyon also had Marissa Everett named as the Player of the Year and their coach David Cox won Coach of the Year. Five different local boys’ basketball players were named to the All-CIF Southern Section teams for the 2015 season: Latrelle Franklin and Torin Webb from Great Oak, Preston Beverly from Elsinore High and Trace Redfield and Jamal Brower from Rancho Christian. Rancho Christian’s head coach Ray Barefield was also named the CIF Division 5A Coach of the Year. Murrieta Valley High School and Temecula Middle School hockey teams were crowned champions at the Temecula Valley Inline Hockey Association school league. The Nighthawks would sweep a best-of-three series over defending champions in Temecula Valley, while the Bobcats won their second straight middle school division. The Chaparral High School baseball team took home gold at the Lions Tournament in San Diego in late April. To earn the championship, the Pumas had to take down both top teams in the tournament, eventually defeating No. 1 La Costa Canyon in extra innings. Austin Herrera was named as the tournament’s MVP. Two local travel-baseball teams took home tournament wins in April. The 12U Temecula Toreros won their third straight tournament
participated in, taking a Championship win in the AAU Spring Training Spectacular. The 12U Temecula Heat were also crowned champs at the USSSA Spring Baseball in the Desert Tournament, where they went 6-0, taking the title over 130 other teams. Local runner Rick Bingham completed his 30th straight Los Angeles Marathon. Bingham, who competed in the original LA Marathon in 1986, is considered to be a Legacy Runner for his tenure with the marathon. Murrieta Mesa senior Nathan Smith signed an early commit to join USC for the 2016-17 season on a full scholarship. Smith, 6’7” and 275 pounds, just finished his senior season with Mesa and is preparing for his first go at the NCAA. He chose the Trojans over 30 other Division 1 schools that offered him full-scholarships, including Notre Dame, Oregon, Penn State, Arizona State and Tennessee. On Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19, Lexia Smith from Temecula competed in and won the Scholastic Equestrian League Jumper Challenge at Showpark of Del Mar. With four clean rounds to clinch the top spot, Smith took home a champion neck ribbon and cooler and has her sights set on the next team event this month. On Wednesday, April 15, which is the day that Major League Baseball celebrates Jackie Robinson Day, the Murrieta Mesa Baseball program took in a game courtesy of Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s widow, at Dodger Stadium. Onehundred people were able to attend as a gift from Robinson for last year’s Civil Rights game. On April 30 the Ambassador League held its fourth Track and Field meet of the season at Vista Murrieta High School and Linfield Christian once again scored highest across the board, taking first overall with the girls’ scores and second place overall for the boys.

Traveling with pets, the do’s and don’ts of hotels, transportation and how to avoid stress For many people, pets are an integral part of the family, and a vacation would feel incomplete without their presence. However, due to concerns over where to stay, what mode of transportation to use, and how the trip will impact the pet’s behavior and well-being, the prospect of traveling with them may induce stress. Of course, selecting a pet-friendly hotel is key, but to ensure an enjoyable getaway for all members of the pack, consider the following tips: Do map out your entire travel itinerary before the trip, taking your pet’s safety and comfort into consideration at every step. Where will your animal companion stay when you are exploring places that may not be pet-friendly? Are there parks or pet-friendly restaurants near your hotel? Where is the closest veterinarian in the event of an emergency? If you are worried that your pet will suffer anxiety or disrupt other travelers or hotel guests, do consult your vet in advance of the trip. He or she may be able to prescribe anxiety medication or a mild sedative to calm your pet if needed and will likely have other travel tips to offer. Don’t take a hotel’s claim that it is pet-friendly at face value. Many hotels accept pets, but not all welcome them. If you are considering a hotel that will charge you extra for bringing your furry friend, look for another option if possible. Hotels
that are truly pet-friendly will not upcharge you and will take steps to ensure that human and non-human guests alike have a comfortable stay. When in doubt, call the hotel, ask about their pet policies, and try to gauge their true attitude toward pets. Do plan the transportation of your pet. If you are flying to your destination, research the airline’s policies for transporting animals. Larger pets must fly in the cargo hold, where some airlines will only carry animals at certain times. If your pet is small enough to fit under the seat, research the best type of carrier and whether the airline recommends a particular brand. Allow your pet a chance to become accustomed to the carrier well in advance of the trip. Try to book direct flights if possible to minimize the length of the journey. If you are driving, be sure to schedule stops every few hours to allow yourself and your pet a chance to stretch and breathe some fresh air. For safety in the event of an accident, your pet should be kept in a crate or carrier that is restrained by a seatbelt in the back seat. Of course, avoid leaving your pet in the car, even on days that feel cool or when you will only be gone for a short time. On a 72-degree day, the temperature inside a car can soar to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit within an hour. Feed your pet only a small meal before traveling to reduce the risk of motion sickness. Do pack items that are familiar

to your pet, such as his or her bowl, bed, favorite toy, and crate. Maintain your pet’s health while away by bringing his or her food and any medications that may be needed. Don’t leave your pet alone in the hotel room. Aside from the fact that most hotels do not allow pets to be left alone, doing this may cause your companion to become anxious and possibly disruptive to other guests. If you are planning an excursion and bringing your pet will not be an op-

Tournament. The Golden Bears beat Upland 75-68 in the opening round, took out Oak Hills 72-58 in the second round and then beat Colony and Tahquitz before facing the Cats in the Final. The Golden Bears turned around and defeated Elsinore in the Jared Mandville Memorial Showcase, 76-70. The game was dedicated to the memory of Perris Basketball Coach Jared Mandville who passed away from cancer last month. Proceeds, in excess of $1,500 from the game were presented to his widow Dawn and his two children. Mandville would have turned 40 in December.

tion, see if there is a kennel nearby where you can board him or her for a few hours. In the event that your hotel does allow you to leave the pet in your room while you are gone and you choose to do so, be sure to leave your phone number with the front desk in case of an emergency. Do ensure that you pet is up to date on vaccines and other preventive measures, like heartworm and flea or tick treatments. Some hotels require this, and it will protect your pet and other animals that you may encounter in the course of your travels. Do remember that as much as you adore your pet, not everyone that you encounter on your trip will share the same sentiment. This may be the case even at pet-friendly hotels or restaurants. With that in mind, be considerate of all guests by ensuring that your pet is quiet and well-behaved. Keep him or her on a leash or otherwise contained. Only allow your pet to use the restroom in designated areas and be sure to clean up afterwards. Dogs can be fun hiking companions. If you decide to bring your dog along for a hike, do keep him or her on a short leash. Not only do many public trails require you to use a leash that is six feet long or less, but a shorter leash will allow you to help keep your dog from unseen hazards off the trail. Carry a pet first-aid kit and consider taking a first-aid class before your hike. Most importantly, make sure that your dog is sufficiently fed and hydrated. Do not allow him or her to drink from streams or other natural sources; filter the water first to prevent bacterial infection, just as you would do for yourself. If you are planning a strenuous hike, consult with your vet to ensure that your dog is up to the challenge. If you are hiking in warm weather, be sure to take frequent rests and consider using a cooling collar for your dog.

Factors to consider when choosing a neighborhood among the information they offer about a given property. In addition, buyers interested in learning about crime in a given neighborhood can visit a site such as CrimeReports. com to access data on crimes committed near a particular address.
TEMECULA – When shopping for a home, it’s easy for buyers to fall in love with a property. A wellmaintained home with updated features can be hard to resist, but buyers must consider more than just a home’s appearance before submitting an offer. One variable prospective home buyers tend to value more highly than others is the neighborhood where they will ultimately choose to live. Many buyers even value neighborhoods more than homes, feeling they can always fix a home but cannot necessarily fix an undesirable neighborhood. When considering which neighborhood to begin a home search, buyers should research a host of factors.
Home values Home values are another factor to consider when choosing a neighborhood in which to buy a home. Buyers can work with a local realtor to find a neighborhood or area where real estate prices are trending upwards. While buyers might be able to find a great deal on a home in a neighborhood where home prices are dropping, it’s important to remember those home prices are dropping for a reason. Work with your realtor to find a neighborhood where you can afford a home and where property values are not in decline. Realtors will have access to recent sales figures so you can get an idea of whether a neighborhood is trending upward or in decline.
Crime Crime statistics are public domain, meaning buyers can examine crime figures for any neighborhood where they are considering buying a home. Some real estate websites list neighborhood crime ratings
Amenities The proximity of amenities such as shopping, restaurants and parks is attractive to many buyers, and that’s something all buyers should consider before buying a home. Even if you prefer a home in a remote location, that could limit your market of buyers when you want to sell the home down the road. While your own comfort and preferences should ultimately prevail over potential resale value, itÕs important that you at least consider access to amenities before making a decision. You might be able to find a compromise in a home that is a short drive away from a town center, but still remote enough that you are not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Commute Quality of life is heavily influenced by commute time. Many men and women feel their quality of life improves dramatically the shorter

their daily commute is. When considering a particular neighborhood, do a test run before making an offer on a home. Wake up early and drive to the area where you are thinking of buying, and then commute from there during rush hour. Also, do the reverse commute come quitting
time. You might be able to get an estimated commute time online, but a test run can give you a more accurate idea of what your daily trips to and from the office will be like. Choosing a neighborhood where you will enjoy living requires some forethought and research.

what you can donate or discard when you have an idea of what’s in your closet. Take all of your clothes out of closets and drawers and place them on the bed or floor. Clean the closets thoroughly. The closet organization company Closets by Design suggests a yearly and thorough cleaning of closets. This includes dusting shelving and vacuuming the floor of the closet. You can do the same with armoires and dresser drawers. Take inventory of your clothing. Create three main sorting piles. Label one “keep,” another “donate” and the third one “sell.” As you look at your clothing, keep only those items that fit you well and suit both your tastes and your lifestyle. If a piece is high-quality and worth the cost of repair, bring it to a tailor or make the modifications yourself. Let
TEMECULA – Cooler weather keeps many people indoors. Although this may cause a bit of cabin fever, time spent inside gives people a chance to tackle some much-needed organization projects without the distractions of outdoor activities. One task to tackle as winter settles in is sorting through wardrobes and making room for new clothes, as extra clothing can quickly take over a home. In fact, according to the National Association of Professional Organizers, too much clutter, general disorganization and difficulty determining what to keep and/or discard are the primary reasons individuals reach out to professional organizers. If clearing away closet clutter is on the top of your winter to-do list, consider the following tips. Know what you have. It’s easier to determine what you can keep and
clothing best suits your lifestyle. If you have 10 pairs of yoga pants but never hit the gym, you can thin out that collection. Immediately bag donation items. Move items you will be donating out of the room. Place them by the front door and make a plan to drop them off at a thrift store or in a nearby clothing bin. Don’t overlook sales opportunities. An easy way to make a little extra money is to sell used belongings at consignment stores. Such stores are popular in towns all across the country as more people attempt to conserve and cut back on their spending. Consignment shops typically do most of the work, including marketing the items, which can be less hectic and safer than selling things on your own. Only bring in items that are clean and in good condition. Opt to have clothing donated after the consignment period is over if items haven’t sold so they don’t end up back in your closet. Group remaining “keep” clothes in the closet by category. Organize the clothing you keep by color or style (i.e., casual, formal, exercise, etc.). Arrange the clothes in a way that makes most sense to you. Consider moving off-season clothes. Sturdy storage containers and bags can be used to keep offseason clothing out of the closet until it’s needed. This frees up more space.
Make a home offer they can’t refuse Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase. Sellers won’t want to hear about how ugly a home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards. While buyers must weigh such variables when making their offers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any inflammatory remarks during the negotiation process. Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they don’t like. Don’t delay an inspection. When a property is drawing significant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection. Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sell-
ers who want to sell their homes as quickly as possible. Have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making your offer. Include an escalation clause. When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause. Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase his or her initial offer by a predetermined amount to exceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers you really want the house while keeping potential buyers’ hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive. Prospective home buyers may find themselves in some stiff competition, But a few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buying their ideal homes.

TEMECULA – Buying a home can be very competitive. A wellmaintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today’s buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can’t refuse. Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept. Get preapproved for a mortgage. Sellers’ patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers. Preapproval can speed up the selling process, as buyers won’t need to secure financing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose financing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans.
TEMECULA – Joseph Onello, of Keller Williams Realty, is proud to announce he collected nearly 90 toys for Toys for Tots at various open houses in November and December of 2015. “I have been doing this for the last two years, and have collected more than 150 donated toys for Toys for Tots during that time,” said Onello. “I decided to collect toys at open houses to get the community involved in helping my cause to give to families that can’t afford much during the holidays.” Toys for Tots, whose mission is to collect new, unwrapped toys each holiday season and distribute them as Christmas gifts to children in need, is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. Toys for Tots plays an active role in developing one of our nation’s most valuable resources, its children, and uniting members of local communities in a common cause each year during its annual toy collection and distribution campaign. “As a former Marine, I am hon-

Why your real estate team is so important
John Occhi & Mike Mason Special to Valley News As exciting the prospect of buying a new home, especially if it’s your first one, it can be downright scary…not to mention stressful. This is the largest purchase you’ll probably ever make in your life time (except for your new home, which will cost even more). You have years of your future on the line when making the decisions you’ll be making in the process, so it’s critically important to find the right “TEAM” of professionals who know what they are doing and have mastered the entire real estate acquisition process. The right team will not only have your best interests at heart but may actually save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on short term repairs and other costs and more throughout the life of your ownership. Let’s take a look at who you want on your team… Credit Expert – A Credit Expert should be the first member of your team and should be sought out a year before you think you are ready to buy. A good Credit Expert will start with a consultation after pulling and analyzing your credit profile, with an emphasis on raising your FICO Score. A FICO Score is the result of a complex propriety algorithm that each of the 3 major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) maintain on virtually every adult living in this country – with very few exceptions. While there is no exact known formula for how each bureau does their own calculation they all follow the same general guidelines that focus on how you pay your bills; although it is much more complicated than that. A Credit Expert will be able to assess your unique scenario and
provide you guidance on the things that you can do to improve your credit score as well as offer assistance in correcting errors using their understanding of the federal laws governing the credit reporting bureaus. When looking for a reputable Credit Expert it is always best to work with someone that has been referred after a successful outcome. Be careful, because as there are many trustworthy Credit Experts around, there are always going to be the unscrupulous companies in this “lightly” regulated industry. A trusted Mortgage Broker typically will have someone to recommend that has helped many clients qualify for a better loan. Remember, the higher your FICO Score, the better your loan and the less you’ll be paying every month. Mortgage Broker – A Mortgage Broker is a lender that represents many lenders with many different loan programs. A good Mortgage Broker will be able to review your situation and understand all of the nuances of your scenario and have you pre-qualified with a lender who will offer you the absolute best loan that you’ll qualify for. It’s important to remember that loans are never as simple as a basic set of guidelines that you can just check off. Each lender specializes in providing a loan that others can’t, making them unique. They create their own guidelines to the established federal guidelines, adding their own level of conditions. These are referred to as ‘overlays’. The alternative to a Mortgage Broker is working with a Mortgage Banker which is a single bank with a single set of loan options. Individual banks are typically more conservative and may not have the lowest interest rates or reduced down payment options. Mortgage Bankers may also not be participating in all of the government programs available and may not be aware of local down-payment assistance or other programs to promote local home ownership.

REALTORS® and not just another licensed real estate agent. Unlike a real estate agent, a REALTOR® is bound by a demanding Code of Ethics that protect the consumer. In addition, as a REALTOR®, chances are that they are better educated with the continual education opportunities that are presented at all three levels of membership. REALTORS® are also usually better connected with their peers and able to network and connect with other real estate professionals in either finding the right problem or the solution to a unique problem. Many believe that a REALTOR® (or real estate agents) earns their money by finding a home or a buyer for a home they have listed. Yes, it’s true, that’s part of what we do but just a small portion – that’s actually the fun part of the job. To do this part, we need to constantly study the local market as well as state and national trends to see how they affect us locally. We need to know the value of real estate. Marketing is another critical skill
set. It doesn’t matter if a REALTOR® is marketing a new listing to attract buyers or a ‘Buyers Agent’ is marketing to find new buyers to work with – if a REALTOR® can’t market, it doesn’t matter how much they know about the market with the level of competition amongst REALTORS® today. The meat and potatoes of what a REALTOR® does to earn their keep is not to get a home into escrow but to get it out of escrow. There are so many different people and personalities involved in every escrow that there have to be 50 or more common reasons as to why a home will fall out of escrow, once a buyer and seller agree on the terms and price. Think of a great REALTOR® as a great conductor of a Symphony Orchestra, at the helm guiding the many moving pieces to come together, exactly when they are supposed to. This is where the REALTOR® earns their money and their reputation for getting the job done. Home Inspector – Every home
Christmas tree recycling helps fish by creating new habitats in county RIVERSIDE – Who knew your holiday trees could make life a little better for fish? The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources is working closely with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to collect Christmas trees at county landfills and provide them for fish habitat. The county landfill department is always looking for innovative ways to divert waste and preserve valuable landfill space. Christmas trees collected at the Badlands, Blythe, and Lamb Canyon landfills through the free Christmas tree drop-off program will be provided to the state, which will sink the trees in local lakes and waterways so that juvenile fish have a little more protection from
larger predatory fish. Trees must be prepared for recycling by removing all decorations, lights, tinsel and tree stands. Flocked trees cannot be recycled and need to be cut up and placed into your regular trash container. Other Christmas trees that are recycled, at free drop-off sites or at the curb, will be taken to local green waste processors to be recycled into compost or mulch products. Most trash haulers will collect Christmas trees curbside for two weeks after Christmas. Place the prepared tree next to or inside the green waste container on your regular pickup day. Trees over 4 feet tall should be cut in half. Contact your waste hauler for more details.
