Hardly anyone expects good news when things are stolen.

Holidays 2014 Free Thanksgiving and Christmas Day dinners were as always, ablaze in holiday cheer and décor, giving the Community Hall a true “Home for the Holidays” feeling.

There was a full turnout of food from multiple main dishes to casseroles and salads dished up with a side of fellowship and true giving.

The plethora of desserts were unimaginable in variety. It is a satisfying feeling to gaze at the turnout of people from all corners of Anza.

Live music played throughout the evening as people gathered at tables decorated in a golden harvest motif while piles of new presents awaited every child that arrived.

The back doors were thrown open to reveal table after table of clothing. There were warm jackets, new socks, and new caps and mittens.

This array included sequined holiday dresses and even some motor-sport gear. There were even tables of canned and boxed foods, and bags of breads for people to take on their way out the door. Yes, there was something for everyone.

Anza Local

Locals use social media to find a stolen tractor Jodi Thomas Anza Valley Outlook Manager Hardly anyone expects good news when things are stolen.

When an item makes its way out of the possession of its original owner, it may be nearly impossible to recover.

Fortunately, a friend of the Nuciforo family in Anza could breathe a sigh of relief recently after he was able to recover his stolen tractor.

That friend teamed up with the Nuciforos to recover the stolen tractor and achieved his goal. How they were able to get the tractor back may surprise some: they used

social media.

The story starts out near the end of the year, when a practically brand new Kubota farm tractor was taken from its storage place.

The Nuciforo found out about the thief when Nick Nuciforo’s friend showed up at his house to see if perhaps Nick had borrowed the tractor that was missing from his storage yard. Nick told his friend he had not borrowed the tractor, and if it was not in the storage yard it must have been stolen.

Nick’s wife, Lynn, jumped into action and after a call to the Sherriff’s Department, she immediately posted information about the theft on the Anza Crime Watch Facebook site.

Soon, to her excitement, she began to receive several tips. News came the tractor had been found.

Someone had seen a tractor fitting its description being driven down the road near their house.

The man wondered what the two young men were doing out driving such a nice new tractor that time of night and even stopped the youths and asked them what they were up to.

Several days later while walking his dog, he found the tractor abandoned in the deep brush. Upon sharing his find with a neighbor who saw Lynn’s post on the social site, Anza Crime Watch, they were convinced that this could be the one she was looking for and

Buyer beware when purchasing tree care A message from the Tree Care Industry Association Fall and winter storms often bring out the best in a community. Neighbors, even strangers, help each other cope with aggravations and property damage left in the wake of a storm.

Unfortunately, storms also bring out the worst in a community - fastbuck artists looking to profit from the misfortunes of others.

How can homeowners protect themselves when they need to hire a tree care company to clean up after a storm?

“With thousands of dollars at stake, not to mention the integrity and appearance of your property and your personal safety, make sure you investigate before deciding which company you should hire,” said Tchukki Andersen, a Board Certified Master Arborist, a Certified Treecare Safety Professional and staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association.

If the “professional arborist” you hired to remove a tree drops it on your house instead of your lawn, it’s too late to confirm the company is insured.

“Disreputable companies are renowned for ripping gutters off, breaking fences and bird baths, and even dropping trees on houses,” Andersen said. “Then they typically fold up and leave, never to be seen again.”

Disreputable companies

tend to: *Solicit work door-to-door *Demand payment in advance *Advertise topping *Sell jobs without producing a written estimate or work order When looking for a reputable company, start with the arborists listed in the phone book or on the Internet. Don’t place much emphasis on the size of the Yellow Pages ad or complexity of the website - some of the most reputable firms rely almost entirely on word-ofmouth advertising.

Look instead for what the ad or website tells you about the company: number of years in business, professional affiliations, licenses, accreditation, certification, etc.

Avoid companies that advertise topping, an injurious and unacceptable practice. You should be aware that the credentials of someone calling himself or herself an arborist can vary widely.

Don’t just hire someone with a chain saw who knocks on your door. Look for the company displaying the credentials of a professional.

When you meet with the arborist: *Ask to see current certificates of liability and workers’ compensation insurance, if applicable. *Ask for local references, and check on the quality of their work and level of service. *Verify professional affiliations the company might have, such as membership or Accreditation with the Tree Care Industry Association. *Don’t be lured by a bargain and don’t pay in advance. *Insist on a signed contract as to cost, dates when work is to be performed, and exactly what is to be done. *Insist that climbing spikes are used only if the tree is to be cut down; they damage the tree.

Get a second opinion if it will add to your comfort level. Make sure that a complete diagnosis of the potential for tree failure is performed before a tree is removed.

Bolt flyby Mallard Fudd Local Contributor Years ago in Anza, I knew a fella that struck even me as a “character.”

I guess it was his lifestyle, but he had a habit of enjoying any kind of meat that walked or crawled the earth. Thank God he limited himself to the animal kingdom – that is to say I don’t think he ever ate people.

He also raised huge numbers of chickens, made his own moonshine and reloaded his own shells for his weapons. It must be understood that he was an expert at making moonshine.

He once told me that you could tell a good moonshine from an excellent one by lighting a shot glass of the substance on fire. If the “shine” burned a beautiful blue flame it was excellent. But, if the flame was any part orange, that meant that there were impurities in the shine and it wasn’t as good.

He demonstrated this to me on several occasions and of course after burning the mixture it became necessary to taste the difference.

“Tasting the difference,” of course, had to be done on a regular basis.

This is where the problem came in.

As I mentioned before this good fella also reloaded his own ammo.

He was actually quite good at reloading ammo until a small incident occurred. It seems a friend of ours brought him some ammo for a 30 ought six, explaining to him that he needed some rounds made up because he was going elk hunting.

At this point I really need to say that not just anyone can make excellent moonshine. It is exacting and meticulous work, and so is reloading ammo as you can imagine.

Now this good fella was always exacting in what he did except for this particular occasion.

He was reloading the 30 ought six ammo when another friend of his dropped by to pick up some shine. Of a matter of course pleasantries were exchanged and the proper “tasting the difference” took place.

The friend left and my good fella returned to his reloading. When the

owner of the shells came by to pick them up, he brought with him the rifle he was going to shoot them in so that he could try a few shots.

Putting one of the new rounds into the rifle and closing the bolt, he took the rifle outside and, choosing a safe direction to shoot, fired off a round.

The cartridge exploded in the chamber sending the bolt flying out of the rear of the rifle and just past the cheek of the shooter. The rifle was severely damaged and the shooter was, well, we won’t go into that except to say that he didn’t get physically hurt, the rifle bolt had flown right by his head.

Now the good fella immediately changed his ways and to my knowledge he never touched the shine when he was reloading again. His friend not being able to take a joke, never had him reload any more ammo. The names have been changed or omitted to protect the innocent.

When the Nuciforos and the owner arrived they identified the tractor as his. Sheriff’s deputies were called and, after the crime scene was processed, the tractor was hauled to a different storage place.

“This is what can happen when the people of Anza network together,” Lynn Nuciforo said.

Anza Crime Watch on Facebook was started by citizens in the area who said they were concerned about the increase in the number of thefts that were occurring in the area. It is a place where nonemergency information can be posted.

Diane Sieker, a local resident,

started the project in the fall with the help of other people from the Anza area such as Linda Caldwell and Bud Elmore. Caldwell and Elmore help manage the Facebook page.

“I was tired of nothing happing,” Sieker said of the number of crimes in her area.

Two Hamilton High School Juniors, Aaron Adams and Rebecca Canaday, have won an all-expensepaid trip to Washington, D.C. complements of Anza Electric Co-op.

This summer they will join juniors from across America touring all the famous Washington DC land marks such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Vietnam Memorial, the National Cathedral, Arlington National Cemetery and much more.

While on Capitol Hill, the two juniors will also visit their local area representatives who can be found in their D.C office.

The Washington Youth Tour is designed to help talented young people to experience the nation’s capital and further develop their

leadership skills.

Adams and 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 best two were chosen as winners of the trip.

CHP educates new drivers with Start Smart teen driver’s safety class in California,” CHP Officer Mike Lassig said. “It’s to get people educated on proper driving, safety factors when it comes to driving and impaired driving.”

During the 90-minute class, graphic videos were shown of real car accidents showing people who did not survive.

roadway and you have your smart phone in your hand, you’re in violation of the California Vehicle Code,” Lassig said. “You have to be hands free at all times, whether you’re stopped or not.”

Many accidents are caused by drivers that are not paying attention to the road, Lassig said.

“One big thing right now is distracted driving, a lot of these teens are on their smart phones

while driving,” Lassig said. “Our main focus is to get these new drivers from point A to point B safely without being involved in a traffic collision.”

Another common problem among drivers is medication, according to Lassig. Many people take medications that impair driving even though most medications have warning labels advising not to drive or operate heavy ma-

chinery.

“The biggest thing out there is impaired driving,” Lassig said.

“There are a lot of people taking medications where they should not be driving.”

at the Jacob’s Gift annual event to benefit children with special needs and their families.

“As a relatively young club both in the age of our members and the age of our club, we had a truly incredible holiday season giving back to the community,” said Jennifer Smith, President of Temecula Valley New Generations Rotary Club. “We raised more funds for our Michelle’s Place Stocking Project than in years past and were able to provide 168 stockings to children whose parents are affected by breast cancer. We were able to participate in Jacob’s Gift at Wilson Creek Winery with the help of funds from the Wallis Jones Grant and the event warmed the hearts of all who volunteered.

Being able to watch the children in attendance light up as Santa walked in is a memory I won’t forget.

“Michelle’s Place is grateful for the support of New Gen Rotary with our annual holiday program. We helped a record 168 children whose mothers are currently fighting breast cancer. Without the help of New Gen, we could not have provided

such a beautiful Christmas for these families,” said Kim Goodnough, Executive Director, Michelle’s Place. “This program not only helps provide a brighter holiday, it allows children to be children and not worry about the health of their mom and also gives dads the opportunity to share with other dads.

It’s a great support opportunity for the entire family.”

The Wallis Jones Grant was created on behalf of Rotarian Wallis C. Jones, a charter member of the Rotary Club of San Bernardino East (now Highland) when he gave a substantial amount of money to Rotary District 5330 Foundation for “Rotary Friends” program. The program requires high school age youth participate and interact with senior citizens and/or handicapped individuals. Temecula New Generations Rotary Club was able to raise money in addition to receiving Wallis C. Jones “Rotary Friends” funds, allowing the club to participate with the youth at the Jacob’s Gift holiday event.

The Rotary Club of Temecula Valley - New Generation meets every Thursday at TGI Fridays

located at 40830 Winchester Rd. in Temecula at 1p.m. This is not your daddy’s Rotary club. The New Generations Rotary Club has lower monthly dues, focuses on more hands-on service projects, and has a more lenient attendance policy while encouraging members to visit other traditional Rotary clubs and district events.

Rotary has been a reputable, worldwide, established charitable organization for over 100 years and in an effort to continue on for the next 100 years the organization realized the importance of engaging and involving all generations. Rotary programs start as young as middle school with PRYDE (Personal Rotary Youth Development Experience) a leadership camp for kids in the 7th grade, to Interact and RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) for the high school students and ROTARACT for college students.

Anza Local DA’s Office continues using special grants for DUI prosecutions RIVERSIDE - Anyone arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs in Riverside County can continue to expect to face highly trained and specialized prosecutors because of grants once again being utilized by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the renewal of two grants from the California Office of Traffic Safety that provide funding for these specialized teams.

A $488,280 grant to the DA’s Office funds the DUI Vertical Prosecution Team that works DUI cases from arrest through sentencing. The grant enables District Attorney Mike Hestrin to assign three

specially trained deputy district attorneys to prosecute drug-impaired drivers in all regions of Riverside County.

To combat drug-impaired driving, the DA’s Office implemented the DUI Vertical Prosecution Team two years ago after successfully applying to the California Office of Traffic Safety for funding to enable one specially trained prosecutor to focus exclusively on drug-impaired driving cases. The goal of the DUI Vertical Prosecution team is to prevent drug-impaired driving and reduce drug-impaired traffic fatalities and injuries by holding drug-impaired drivers accountable. Prosecution team members will work with the Traffic Safety

Resource Prosecutor Program of the California District Attorneys Association to increase the capabilities of the team by obtaining and delivering specialized training, including training in the emerging problem of drug-impaired driving.

Team members will share information with peers and law enforcement personnel throughout the county and across the state.

Prosecutors now assigned to the team are Deputy District Attorneys Justin Feikert in the Western Division, Kevin Shek in the Eastern Division, and Billie Gibson in the Southwest Division.

A second, $394,722 grant enables DA Hestrin to assign a specially trained senior deputy district

attorney and a senior district attorney investigator to investigate and prosecute all DUI-related homicides and DUI with injury cases in Southwest Riverside County.

Cases involving death or injury will be prosecuted from the original filing of the case through any trial.

The grant also provides training to help combat the growing problem of driving under the influence of drugs.

Goals of this grant include reducing the number of persons killed and injured in DUI-related traffic collisions, and increasing police officer and prosecutor expertise in DUI investigations and prosecutions. This specialized team will coordinate and participate

in DUI prevention and awareness programs such as “Every 15 Minutes” with local schools, law enforcement agencies, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

Sr. Deputy District Attorney Chris Bouffard and Sr. DA Investigator Joseph Cristinziani are currently assigned to the team at the DA’s Southwest office in Murrieta.

The funding period for both of these grants, which were approved by the Riverside County Board of Supervisors in September, runs from Oct. 1, 2014 through Sept. 30, 2015. Funding for these programs is provided by grants from the state Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

How long does this process take?

The foster parent certification process takes an average of 30 to 90 days, depending on how diligently you work on turning in verifications. Once you are certified by Childhelp and approved for placement, an available child (or children) may be placed in your home. Each spare room can have up to two children (a foster child can share a room with your biological child, or two foster children can share a room with each other providing they are the same gender—if both children are under the age of 5, gender is irrelevant) and each home can have up to six children total as long as there are enough rooms to accommodate them.

How do I begin?

Call 1-877-70-CHILD (1-877702-4453) and talk to a Childhelp representative. After a short telephone interview, you can schedule an orientation and start the process.

It is only natural to base parenting decisions on the model of your own childhood. These children were taken away from a terrible model of home life, and without intervention they will likely grow up to abuse or neglect their children as well, just like their parents did.

It is possible for these children to redefine “family” with just a few months of healthy example. A good foster placement can break the cycle of abuse and provide a healthy model so that their children and their children’s children don’t have to suffer the same fate.

A young boy or girl is crying right now, not sure where they will sleep tonight. We are reaching out to the community, looking for homes for these children. If you or someone you know has a room and love to spare, or has ever considered being a foster parent, please call. Together we can rebuild our community and stop the cycle of abuse, one little life at a time.

Childhelp’s Redlands Office (facility lic. #366404114) is located at 1743-A Orange Tree Lane and can be reached directly at (909) 335-1164. For more information on becoming a foster parent in Riverside or San Bernardino counties, email Patty Old at pold@ childhelp.org.

Childhelp agency seeks foster parents REDLANDS—With her hair roughly clipped out of her face in her usual end-of-the-day up-do, a social worker sits at her desk dialing number after number. She hasn’t eaten since breakfast, if you can call a can of cola and a piece of toast a meal, and she’s drumming at the desk with a pen without even realizing she’s doing it. Other agencies will be closing at 5 p.m. and she can’t even dream of going home right now.

It’s 4:45 p.m.—in fifteen minutes her chances of getting anyone on the phone shrink significantly and she has a child she desperately needs to place. The 6-year-old boy sitting across from her, clutching a dirty and worn stuffed dog, is staring straight ahead. He can’t help the feeling of loneliness and despair that grows with each phone call, even though he’s finally stopped crying.

He doesn’t know where he’s going to sleep that night.

This scene isn’t uncommon.

Every day more children are detained and the dedicated men and women who have sworn to help them are desperately trying to keep up. Ideally, children would stay at

home with their parents, so family preservation is always the first plan.

If there is clear evidence that a child has been abused or neglected, the maltreatment has caused real harm and it is likely that the problem will continue or reoccur, the county has no choice. Knowingly leaving a child in danger is also child abuse and eventually offering the parents a stern warning just isn’t enough.

But where do all these children go once they’ve been removed from a dangerous home?

Every day, county social workers have to face that problem.

One child in their caseload might represent 100 phone calls. If more people could open their homes to these children, perhaps the other 99 phone calls could be to find homes for other kids.

Since 1959, Childhelp has been fighting child abuse and working to help those who have been victimized. On the “front lines” of child welfare, what started as a single orphanage in Japan, then one in Vietnam, became several homes, schools and hospitals, eventually growing to include a National Child Abuse Hotline, advocacy centers

and therapeutic villages in the United States. Currently, Childhelp’s mission is to find foster families in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties to meet the immediate need.

“We just don’t have the beds,” said a Childhelp representative.

“40 calls per day—that’s how many children we have to turn away and it breaks my heart every time.”

Childhelp foster parents work with a local office and have a number they can call at any time, day or night, instead of dealing with the county directly. The Childhelp team forms real relationships with their foster parents, working personally with the families they certify and getting to know the people, their plans, their success stories and areas where they might need help.

There are events, barbecues and outings where foster parents can share stories. No Childhelp foster parent ever needs to feel alone— someone is always available to offer support or answer questions.

People often wonder what it takes to be a foster parent. Foster parents can be single, married or in a relationship. They can be homeowners or they can be renters. They can be experienced parents or never had any experience with children at all. As long as they have a spare room and a heart for children, they have what it takes—we offer all the training they will need. Here are some questions that potential foster parents often ask: What do I need to do to qualify as a foster parent?

Attend a four-hour orientation in their local office (Hollywood or Redlands). The entire process will be explained in detail within the first two hours. If you decide to continue, we will begin filling out and signing paperwork for the remainder of the time. One of our Childhelp staff will set up a visit to your home for an initial inspection to ensure your home meets licensing requirements (i.e. enough rooms, smoke detectors, etc.), and Childhelp can give you a complete check list specific to you to help you prepare your home. There will also be a background check, foster parent trainings and interviews as part of the process.

Who are the children placed through Childhelp?

The boys and girls we work with are referred by the DCFS and range in age from infants to 20 years old.

These children/youth often suffer from emotional difficulties and have a history of abuse and neglect.

Our foster care program has trained clinical staff to provide therapeutic support services for both the child and family throughout the foster placement.

Will I be compensated?

You will receive a monthly reimbursement check as high as $1,027 per child, depending on the child’s age, to be used specifically toward the care of the child.

What is Constitutional in the 2015 State of the Union Address?

Dr. Harold Pease In listening to the president’s State of the Union Address one might think that he actually has the power to do what he requests. On domestic issues, two old requests from last year’s State of the Union Address were renewed: a request for raising the minimum wage and, instead of just making the college opportunity available to all middle class Americans, he went further proposing free community college for all.

Other requests included advocacy for “a free and open Internet,” which, given a recent executive order means control of it, expanded child care tax credits, improved job training, expanded paid leave, and a new tax benefit for two-income families. www.anzavalleyoutlook.com

All this to be funded by increased taxes on the rich. He threatened a veto to any legislation that altered Obamacare or undermined his recently decreed executive amnesty.

He was decidedly unclear on his request for criminal justice reform, certainly a reference to the riots in Ferguson, Mo. More federal involvement always means more federal control.

He defended his positions on Cuba and Iran and threatened presidential vetoes if Congress legislated differently. Constitutionalist had to have cheered when he seemed to lecture, the mostly Republican Congress, on what he called “rash decisions, reacting to the headlines instead of using our heads; when the first response to a challenge is to send in our military—then we risk getting drawn into unnecessary conflicts, and neglect the broader strategy we need for a safer, more prosperous world.”

He called it “a smarter kind of American leadership” and seemed aimed at the so-called military industrial complex of which President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned. He saw rewriting the Authorization of Use of Military Force, which authorized the air campaigns in Iraq and Syria, as a priority but left few specifics on what that meant.

He still refuses to use the term Radical Islamist Terrorists in describing the Islamists involved in the mass killing in Nigeria, Iraq, Syria and France even though while he spoke they were threatening to topple Yemen, who has stood with us in opposition to al-Qaida.

The list went on and on as it does for every president, Republican or Democrat, but what was different from last year is that he threatened the use of the veto rather than the threat of his bypassing Congress with the use of the “pen” through executive orders.

The term executive order is not found in the Constitution and initially was nothing more than inter-departmental communications between the resident and his executive branch with him requesting some action on their part.

Constitutionally they have no lawmaking function.

Unfortunately most, if not all, of these things are not in Article II of the Constitution nor have they been added by way of amendment as outlined in Article V of that document, thus they are unconstitutional. It is very probable that, even with the approval of Congress, they would be outside the Constitution but that is a topic for another time.

Presidents, in their thirst for power and /or proclaimed expediency, have empowered themselves

to the point of “kingship” with their worshipful, unchallenging, party followers (whether Democrat or Republican) quite willing to look the other way as government grows beyond its ability to be constitutional or efficient. At any time he could remind the people of his real constitutional powers but he will not as that would drastically reduce his power that is beginning to look limitless.

We must return to the constitutional powers of the president as identified in Article II. As we list these powers attempt to match the State of the Union requests wherein he suggests that he might have a role. Under the Constitution the president has but eleven powers.

Let us identify them: 1) “Commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States” including the militia when called into actual service of the United States; 2) supervise departments (cabinet), each presumably established by the Congress (George Washington had but four); 3) grant reprieves and pardons; 4) make treaties with the help of the Senate; 5) with Senate help appoint positions established by law such as ambassadors, ministers and judges; 6) fill vacancies “during recess of the Senate;” 7) make recommendations to Congress on the state of the union; 8) convene both houses on special

occasions and handle disputes with respect to convening; 9) receive ambassadors and other public ministers; 10) make certain that “laws be faithfully executed;” and, 11) “commission all the officers of the United States.”

Simply stated the president has two supervisory powers over existing organizations and two shared powers with the Senate, otherwise he pardons, recommends, appoints and entertains. That is it! Notice the absence of power to make any rules and regulations on us. This is the job of Congress alone.

All measures listed in the 2015 State of the Union Address are but suggestions to Congress, which alone, as per Article I, Section I, has all law-making functions—the president has none. That said, he is within his constitutional bounds with his threat of the veto, which is likely to be used liberally.

A letter or phone call will not protect you.

If you do not file your Response on time, the court may make orders affecting your marriage or domestic partnership, your property, and custody of your children. You may be ordered to pay support and attorney fees and costs. If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the clerk for a fee waiver form.

If you want legal advice, contact a lawyer immediately. You can get information about finding lawyers at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), at the California Legal Services Web site (www.lawhelpcalifornia.org)or by contacting your local county bar association.

Notice: The restraining orders on page 2 are effective against both spouses or domestic partners until the petition is dismissed, a judgment is entered, or the court makes further orders. These orders are enforceable anywhere in California by any law enforcement officer who has received or seen a copy of them.

Note: If a judgment or support order is entered, the court may order you to pay all or part of the fees and costs that the court waived for yourself or for the other party. If this happens, the party order4ed to pay fees shall be given notice and an opportunity to request a hearing to set aside the order to pay waived court fees.

WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION WARNING: California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from 1. Removing the minor child or children of the parties, if any, from the state without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. Cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring, disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor child or children; 3. Transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasi-community, or separate, without he written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. Creating a nonprobate transferor modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party.

You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens Gardening in the shade

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Special to the Valley News Hello fellow gardeners! Thought I would discuss gardening in shady areas this issue. I could’ve sworn I’d talked about this before, but after checking, I discovered I hadn’t, and this is such an important topic, as just about everybody has some shade on their property.

There are different types of shade, so I’d like to discuss those first. We have deep shade – that would be an area that receives no direct sun, such as on the north side of your house in the winter. That may also be seasonal, which means in the spring and summer, you do

Great Oak’s Soles recognized as Cross Country Coach of the Year JP Raineri Sports / Multimedia Editor The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association recently announced the stateby-state winners of its inaugural High School Cross Country Coach of the Year.

One boys coach and one girls coach from each of the 50 states were honored for their successes during the 2014 cross country season, as chosen by the USTFCCCA High School Coach of the Year selection committee, and Doug Soles from Great Oak H i g h School Girls

Cross Country program was named as this year’s California honoree.

The winners from each state are in consideration for the association’s first-ever National High School Coach of the Year award for cross country.

“High school coaches have a profound impact on young athletes’ lives,” said USTFCCCA CEO Sam Seemes. “For so many runners, their high school cross country coach is the person who opened the world of running to them.”

“We’re excited to be able to recognize and reward those high school coaches for the successes of their teams this season,” added Seemes.

State-by-state winners were selected based on their teams’ perfor-

mances throughout the 2014 cross country season. Among the factors taken into consideration were team score and placement at the state championships, margin of victory, performance against rankings if available, individual championships, and how their teams’ performances stacked up to previous years (e.g. first title in school history, consecutive titles, etc.).

Under the guidance of Soles and his coaching staff, Great Oak’s Girls Cross Country team won their third straight State CIF Championship this year and their fourth State Title in five years. The program also sent seven girls on to compete in the 11th annual Nike Cross Nationals, which was held on Dec. 6 in Portland, Ore., where they placed second overall.

County supervisors approve fiveyear contract with ambulance provider

Centerpoint Church holds community job fair Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Finding a job in 2015 can be a daunting prospect, and Centerpoint Church of Murrieta decided to do its part to help as many people get a job as possible. The community is invited to Centerpoint Church on Wednesday, Feb. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and encouraged to register early on the church website.

“Both full and part time positions will be available for job seekers,” said Carl Dameron, public relations manager for the event and owner of Dameron Communications Public Relations. “We are expecting up to 30 to 50 local employers on hand to interview job seekers for employment within our region.”

Face to face interviews will be conducted on site.

Described as a “way to create a brighter future for yourself and your family,” Centerpoint Job Fair’s purpose is to connect job seekers with the perfect employer, and help businesses find the best,

Job seekers can also learn vital skills for interviewing and preparing for a new career during the

event.

“At the job fair, you can better update your resume, and learn techniques for interviewing, as well as speak with professionals on learning a new trade.” Dameron said.

Paul Young Writer RIVERSIDE—Despite concerns over the terms and the no-bid origin of the agreement, the Board of Supervisors approved a five-year contract with American Medical Response to continue providing ambulance services throughout Riverside County on Jan. 14.

“Based on my experience, we get very fine service from AMR,” Supervisor John Benoit said ahead of the board’s 3-1 vote to stay with the Denver-based firm. “There’s a huge value associated with having a company with the kind of resources they bring to bear and the uniformity they offer.’’

AMR has provided emergency transport services in the county since 1980. When its last contract renewal came due in 2012, a number of parties urged the board to consider other ambulance providers and compel AMR to compete for the county’s business.

Officials from Hemet and Murrieta questioned whether AMR was delivering top-notch service and said a competitive bidding process would be a good means of gauging its performance.

The board declined to put the ambulance contract out to bid and instead committed to AMR for three years, but directed county staff to conduct a study of the provider’s strengths and weaknesses and determine whether it was time to re-bid the ambulance contract.

Martinez, Calif. based Abaris Group was retained to complete a comprehensive assessment of the county’s overall emergency medical services system and what was needed to improve it and the advanced life support service handled

by AMR. Based on Abaris’ findings, Department of Public Health officials determined that AMR remained the best choice for the county. The agency’s emergency medical services director, Bruce Barton, told the board that ‘‘multiple meetings’’ with the company had resulted in promises to make ongoing improvements.

Some of the enhancements AMR will make included upgrading its durable medical equipment, such as cardiac monitors and radios, every five years; converting its entire fleet

to Type III modular ambulances, which offer greater treatment capacity; improving emergency response times; extending service to remote mountain locations; and implementing a ‘‘comprehensive patient and customer satisfaction program,’’ to be coordinated with county EMS personnel.

Supervisor Kevin Jeffries, a former firefighter and emergency medical technician, said he had been generally satisfied with AMR’s service over the years, but did not like the idea of granting a fiveyear contract without competitive bidding. For that reason, he voted against the compact with AMR. ‘‘This is about protecting the public’s interest,’’ Jeffries said. ‘‘Even our contract with (Cal Fire), as massive as that is, comes up for negotiation every three years.

It’s very difficult to accept this as the path we must follow and not open this up to more competition or reviews of other providers. The ratepayers out there—are they getting the best deal financially?’’

The AMR contract will be funded entirely from fees collected from public and private health insurance providers.

Jeffries also disliked the prospect of AMR receiving automatic contract renewals— approved by the Department of Purchasing and Fleet Management, not the board— through 2030.

Benoit broached the idea of holding an annual public performance review to determine whether AMR was abiding by its contract terms, but Supervisor John Tavaglione was strongly opposed. ‘‘To bring this back every single year, I think, is wrong,’’ Tavaglione said. ‘‘You’re going to politicize this. You’ll have basic life support ambulance companies start filtering in and ... wanting to take over the AMR contract. They will make our jobs more difficult by pressuring us. You will not like it. Trust me.’’

Board Chairman Marion Ashley agreed, prompting Benoit to alternately recommend that the board at least receive annual reports from county staff advising of the status of AMR’s contract and whether there were trouble spots that might require the board’s attention. With the exception of Jeffries, the board agreed to the amendment.

The contract will expire on June 30, 2020.

Lake Elsinore poised for growth Leaders share vision, opportunity Paul Bandong Staff Writer At a recent meeting of brokers and developers in Lake Elsinore, newly-elected Mayor Steve Manos shared the vision, dream, and development overview of the city.

Brandon Sudweeks, President of Coldwell Banker Commercial, then gave an overview of their developments and opportunities in the area.

Lake Elsinore has dubbed itself the “Action Sports Capital of the World” featuring skydiving, mo-

tocross and water sports. Manos shared the city’s vision.

“Lake Elsinore will be the ultimate lake destination where all can live, work and play, build futures and fulfill dreams.” Lake Elsinore plans to provide residents and visitors opportunities for boating, wakeboarding, fishing, water skiing, windsurfing, sunbathing, hiking, biking, picnicking and playing on the beach.

Manos cited Lake Elsinore’s central location on the I-15 corridor — easy access to San Diego (68 miles), Los Angeles (74 miles), Orange

County (60 miles), and Riverside (30 miles) – as being a key factor to its growth.

The city was also named the fifth best city for Homeownership in California, according to NerdWallet.

Lake Elsinore’s average household income ($73,304) is higher than the national average ($71,842) and its median home value ($213,453) is also higher compared to the nation ($177,257).

Lake Elsinore is the fastest-growing city in California, with Menifee and Temecula also ranked in the top ten. Manos anticipates their cur-

rent population of 56,000 to grow to almost 300,000 in the coming decade. The growth in single-family detached homes has tripled since 2012 with 21,883 already approved units yet to be built.

Manos noted a number of economic indicators signaling a recovery: growth in sales taxes (2.7 percent), property taxes (4.5 percent), franchise fees (8.6 percent) and Transient Occupancy tax (40 percent). He also cited the growth of new businesses in the past two years as well as a $5 million renovation of the Outlets at Lake Elsinore. A Walmart Supercenter, Golden Corral, and Tractor Supply Company head the list of companies that will fill 363,000 square feet of commercial and industrial development.

The city has streamlined services and processes that make development in the area easier.

Manos also described projects for Main Street revitalization, pavement management to provide improvements/repairs to 25 percent of existing roadways, and traffic infrastructure solutions (multiple European-style roundabouts).

The city has already adopted a General Plan, an Environmental Impact Report, Housing Element and a Climate Action Plan. They are also working on an East Lake Specific Plan, a Facilities Master Plan and a Parks Master Plan. “We have 15,000 acres of undeveloped land,” said Manos, “and 1,250 acres are freeway frontage.”

The city is also looking at plans for the lake, including revitalizing La Laguna (an $8 million project for boat ramp and recreational center), revisiting Shoreline Development Standards, exploring new water treatment options and working with regional partners.

“There are a number of reasons why Lake Elsinore should be attractive to businesses, including the largest natural freshwater lake in Southern California, a committed city council, unlimited tourism opportunities, exceptional quality of life, a brine line for non-recyclables.

Lake Elsinore is also a HUBZone as well as a Foreign Trade Zone.

We have no utility use tax and very low sales/lease prices,” said Manos.

The Small Business Administration HUBZone designation — Historically Underutilized Business Zone — helps small businesses in urban and rural communities gain preferential access to federal procurement opportunities.

Manos quoted testimonials from the CEO of Stater Brothers, an executive with builder D.R. Horton, and a director of JS Technologies on their corporate moves and developments in the Lake Elsinore area.

Sudweeks presented an overview of Lake Elsinore’s existing commercial and industrial prices in comparison with neighboring Corona and their shrinking inventory, a situation that represents tremendous opportunity for local development and revenue-generation in Lake Elsinore, the nearest community for expansion south of Corona.

Sudweeks shared that Lake Elsinore’s Finished Lot Values (based on a 7,200-square foot lot) are about 45 percent below Corona’s.

According to Sudweeks, Lake Elsinore’s professional office rental rates have climbed to $1.75 from $1.43 at the beginning of 2014 while vacancy rates remain steady at 13-16 percent. Industrial rents have risen from $0.57 per square foot to $0.63 with vacancy rates around 4.9 percent. In the retail market, rental rates have dropped to $1.33 from $1.50; vacancy rates remain around 8.2 percent.

Sudweeks then shared existing development opportunities in the area.

Waterbury at Lake Elsinore is a 13-parcel, 449-acre master development of 1,300 lots: 591 single family residential units and 709 multi-family residential units. The property is located on Mission Trail between Bundy Canyon Drive and Railroad Canyon Drive/Diamond Drive and is part of the East Lake Specific Plan.

Lakeshore Pointe is a residential mixed-use four-parcel, 13.62-acre development entitled for 161 multifamily units and 32 single family lots. The property is on the north side of Riverside Drive near Lakeside High School and The Lake Elsinore Recreation Area.

They are also proposing an 8.3acre neighborhood shopping center at the northwest corner of I-15 and Nichols Road between the Lake Elsinore Outlets and the Alberhill Developments.

“The growth opportunities are tremendous,” said Sudweeks, “By the time all is said and done, we will have managed hundreds of millions of dollars in investment in these projects alone.”

Growth is coming and Manos and the Lake Elsinore City Council are planning for it.

Real Estate / Home & Garden SHADE from page B-1 have sun there, not easy to landscape this type of area and I may discuss that entire topic in another article actually.

Semi-shady is the term I’d use to describe areas underneath trees and possibly beneath patio covers – they receive some sun most of the day. Then we have the term “partial shade” or sometimes you’ll see partial sun – they are basically the same thing – it’s an area in your landscape which receives some full sun part of the day, and full shade for another part of the day.

Keep in mind all plants require light to survive, but there are some plants which I’ll be discussing here that can get by on much less sun or light and some that just flat out can’t take full sun at all. Typically shade plants prefer more moisture (think-ferns), but I’ll be discussing some that don’t. Typically you don’t see a lot of colorful flowers on shade plants, they require more sun, but you will see some beautiful and interesting foliage.

These terms are important to know when choosing the correct plants for your landscape as when you read the labels on the plants at the nursery they will typical use one of those terms. Full sun, I believe we all know what that means right?

Now that you understand the lingo, I’d like to discuss some of the best plants I believe can be utilized in our climate zone that can take these types of conditions and thrive.

Let’s start from the bottom and work our way up shall we?

Groundcovers and low growing plants Ajuga reptans “Carpet Bugle” a very attractive multi colored mat forming ground cover, good in shade and partial shade as well.

Almost all ivy (Hedera helix) do great in low light and shady areas – almost too great, but they are perfect for those spots where you’re trying to get something to grow in the shade. They can get large so cut back as needed, not too demanding on water requirements either. I’ve found Dichondra is good for that partial shade area where you might get some sun for part of the day, doesn’t like full sun all day in our area – very attractive plant and will spread to fill an area, though it’s not for walking on.

Low growing plants – I love a plant called “Bergenia crassifolia” myself, it’s got big rounded leaves (about six inches across) low water needs and stalks of pretty pink flowers held above the leaves when blooming. These are easy to grow unless snails and slugs discover them. Another favorite of mine is called “Heuchera” aka Coral Bells, and there are so many varieties of it that it is mind boggling. They are primarily grown for their leaves and many different hybrids are available now. I recommend trying a few this spring.

Black Mondo Grass – although I don’t usually like putting dark plants into shady places – can take

partial shade or partial sun and it’s really an outstanding plant. It’s a low clumping grass in the bamboo family; there is also a lighter version of Mondo Grass as well. I would recommend planting these in groups, not just one.

In our climate zone, I find that some beautiful flowering plants do far better in partial shade than full, one of those is the Foxglove – “Digitalis purpurea”, again, many varieties out there, but the heat and full sun in our area will age them fast, give them partial sun, or a semi-shady spot and admire them!

Liriope muscari is another great one I had to mention – there are several varieties and sizes available, I like the “variegated” type myself, and they have some interesting tiny berrylike purple flowers in the summer on stalks, not the main show though.

Medium sized plants Ferns – definitely high on my list would have to be one of our own natives – the California Sword Fern (Polystichum californica) – its water needs are far lower than most ferns, there is another similar variety which may be easier to find and that’s just called the “Western Sword Fern”, both will spread if they’re happy where planted.

Acanthus Mollis – aka “Bears Breech” is a wonderful tropical looking shrub for the shade garden, very striking flower stalks when in bloom as well, several new varieties are now available also.

Hydrangeas – these beauties come in many sizes and shapes, the typical hydrangea will put out large heads of blooms that vary in color depending on ph of soil, blue flowered in acidic soil, and pink flowered in higher ph soil, right in the middle may give you lavender blooms!

One of my personal favorites is called the “Oak leafed hydrangea” and it’s not particularly grown for the flowers only, which are white, but the beautiful foliage, which changes color in the fall as well.

Another of my favorite plants, and one that I use often in my designs, would be the Nandinas.

You may have heard of the plant “Heavenly Bamboo”, that’s a nandina actually not a bamboo at all.

These plants come in many varieties and sizes, of course, some of the best are “Gulf Stream” about 3x4’, “Firepower” only 2’ high, “Nana” 3x2’ and “Sienna Sunrise”, most of these have spring flowers and red berries through the winter, all change colors from green to yellow, orange and red – one of the most versatile plants in the garden I think. Also does very well in pots, I grow some both in ground and in pots and they are virtually pest free, what more could you ask for?

I’m going to finish this topic in next week’s issue. So, until then, happy gardening, and feel free to email me for design work, and don’t forget we are still getting $2/sq. ft. to remove lawn and replace with drought tolerant landscapes – my specialty! I can be contacted at www.uniquelandscapes.net.

How to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at home Greenhouse gases are gases in the atmosphere that absorb and emit radiation. Water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone are the primary greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, and according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, these gases are significant contributors to climate change.

While climate change poses a considerable threat, it’s important to note that much of the increase in greenhouse gases over the last 150 years can be traced to human activities. By changing certain behaviors and practices, men and women can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The following are a few simple changes men and women can make in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in their homes.

Buy ENERGY STAR products. A 2012 report from the United States Energy Information Administration noted that electricity production generates the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions. The ENERGY STAR label indicates products have been tested and approved as energyefficient, meaning they consume less electricity than other similar products.

The ENERGY STAR label can be found on a host of home appliances, including lighting, heating and cooling equipment and electronics.

Homeowners who want to pitch in to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also lowering their utility bills should only consider those products that have earned the ENERGY STAR label.

Revisit your cooling and heating habits. Home cooling and heating systems consume a considerable amount of energy, and inefficient use of these systems is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. But cutting back on these

Making more efficient use of home heating and cooling systems is one way homeowners can reduce greenhouse gas emissions at home.

emissions does not mean you have to sweat out sultry summer afternoons or hide under the covers upon the arrival of winter. Replacing air filters according to manufacturer guidelines and using programmable thermostats so you aren’t heating and cooling your house when no one is home are some easy ways to dramatically reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that emanate from your heating and cooling systems.

Such efficient use of these systems also saves you money on your monthly energy bills.

Recycle. Recycling can greatly reduce your home’s greenhouse gas emissions. Many communities now mandate that residents recycle plastics, glass containers and paper goods like newspapers and magazines. Recycling can be so simple that it’s easy to forget just how beneficial it can be. When products are recycled, that reduces the need to extract resources, manufacture replacement goods and dispose of products, each of which contributes to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.

If you and members of your household have yet to embrace

recycling, you’re not only increasing greenhouse gas emissions, but also you may even be breaking the law. If your community sponsors a recycling program, simply separate recyclable items from the rest of your trash and leave them out on the curb on designated pickup days.

If no such program exists in your community, separate items to recycle and periodically bring them to your local recycling center, which may even pay you for certain items.

Compost food waste. Instead of discarding leftovers in the garbage can, compost that wasted food so it does not end up in landfills, where it will contribute to methane gas in the air. Composting food waste can improve the soil in your yard and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and it also makes you feel better that you’re making use of wasted food that would otherwise go straight into the garbage can.

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions may seem like a massive undertaking, but concerned men and women can employ several simple strategies to do their part to protect the environment.

Over 200 attend SRCAR office opening in Hemet Paul Bandong Staff Writer Over 200 community members, real estate agents and local dignitaries attended the grand opening of the new Hemet office of the Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors on Jan. 16.

The remodeled former bank at 2355 E. Florida Ave. is 5,961 feet and contains an executive meeting room, grand hall, kitchen area, large patio area and a spacious lobby where members can purchase merchandise (signage, lockboxes, other real estate items) to support their real estate businesses. The grand hall is available for rent after hours to support local community events and organizations.

“SRCAR is positioned for growth,” says SRCAR CEO Connie Lynch, “and we are excited to have a strong presence in the communities of Hemet and San Jacinto.” When SRCAR closed escrow on the building in April of 2014, it had 285 members in that area. SRCAR currently has offices in Murrieta and Menifee serving over 3,500 real estate agents in Temecula, Murrieta, Anza, Aguanga, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Wildomar and Winchester.

“We are always excited when an event brings hundreds of professionals into our town,” said John

John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Spring home selling season will be stating shortly. Spring Break is typically considered the launch point for the buying season – kids are home from school and parents take vacation days. Stroll the isles of Home Depot or Lowe’s these days and you’ll find anxious homeowners taking on projects to get their homes ready for sale to meet the anticipated demand of this year’s buyers. The question remains…What is crucial to do to your home before listing it?

If you plan on selling your home, whether it be for a lifestyle upgrade, or a more suitable neighborhood or even if you’ve just gotten bored and simply need a change you’re going to have to follow a few steps in order to make sure this is a decision that will transform your life for the positive and not turn it into a nightmare.

First-time sellers especially need to prepare themselves for what may be more time consuming and challenging times than anticipated.

Prepare yourself for strangers walking through your home and being critical of the most mundane and minor aspects of your home, in order to negotiate for a better price and terms. The one thing you can bank on is that this will be a nervetesting experience.

To sell a home, like buying one, you need to have a plan. Are you going to be prepared for what is bound to happen next? Do you have a clear mental image of the entire process? There are certainly things you will need to take into account before you ever put your home on the market. Herewith, is what you need to know.

Eight hassle free steps to getting your home sold in no time Get emotionally detached. Once you determine that this is the right decision for you and your family, you need to leave your emotions out of the process. Remember, it’s a house – the home is where ever you and your family end up.

Selling your house is a business

decision. Stay focused on the goal – selling for the most amount of money in the shortest time with the least inconvenience. Keep your goals at the forefront of your mind throughout the entire process, you will achieve your objective.

Get a grasp on the calendar. The perfect time to sell your home is when it is ready and not a moment before. It’s critical to get your house on the market to align with buyer demands while at the same time not listing it for sale even a day before it’s ready to receive potential buyers. If you compromise here you can expect to compromise on your asking price.

Get organized. Every homeowner has lots of paperwork pertinent to the home. Gather all of your appliance books and warranties together; don’t forget any permits.

Gather at least a years’ worth of all utility bills (two would be better).

Find receipts for everything you’ve done to the home. The future homeowner will probably want and need these and you won’t want to be looking for them all at once in the middle of escrow.

Get a good realtor. There are many great realtors out there but you need to find the one who is perfect for you. Interview several and discuss with each the particular terms and conditions of working with him. What should you focus on? You need to have an experienced agent who is familiar with your neighborhood – remember that all real estate is local and your realtor should be too. Perhaps the most critical aspect of the new relationship revolves around trust and communication. Word to the wise, look beyond your family and friends who have real estate licenses.

Get your home refreshed. It’s time to get the home ready. Time to declutter and make all of the small repairs on the proverbial “Honey Do List”. Cosmetic touches can increase the value of your home and make it more desirable over the competition. Be ready for your realtor’s professional photographer to come and take amazing photos… which can only be accomplished if the home looks spectacular. Some easy ways to do this is to let in the natural light, focus on neutral paint colors and please make sure there are no pets. Make the house appear to be a home – warm and cozy.

Get your home inspected. A neutral; third party looking at your

home can evaluate any problems that a buyer will certainly discover on their own. Certainly there are problems with the house that disturbed you while you’ve been living in it – fix them now. By problems we are referring to either cosmetic or functional – both are equally important.

Get your home into move-in condition. When your home is presented to the buying public, it must be clutter-free, nicely presented – in short, your home needs to be a move-in ready house.

The rebound to the economy has already prompted many homes to come on the market and more are sure to follow – your home to needs to have the “wow factor” – something that home buyers will remember and want. Selling your home is a process that demands your participation. If you just kick back and wait for it to happen then chances are you won’t sell it at all.

Please be prepared for every single potential buyer who tours your property – you just never know which one will buy it.

Get your home sold before you buy. Unless you can comfortably afford two mortgages indefinitely don’t ever put yourself in the situation of owning two homes at once – especially if one is sitting vacant.

Selling your home is a mental process as much as it is a physical one and you need to be prepared both financially and mentally. You must be prepared for idle periods of time as no one can predict how quickly your home will sell. Follow the suggestions in this article and your chances for a quick sale will greatly improve. Focus on your curb appeal but never overlook functionality. Small changes can, and do have big impacts.

Remember that first impressions do matter and that people do judge books by their covers. Knowing what is shared here can ease the entire process. Collaborate with your professional realtor and together you’ll certainly find the best solution to accomplish your goals for selling your property. Stay optimistic!

Can beer boost brain power?

A chemical component in beer hops has been shown to improve brain function in lab mice. It may one day help with age-relative cognitive decline.

There is newfound reason to indulge in a pint or two of your favorite beer, and it’s not just to catch up and share a few laughs with friends. New research has shown that a chemical compound in beer may be able to improve cognitive function. The beverage once thought to obliterate brain cells when consumed in abundance may actually have the opposite effect and boost brain power.

No one should run out and start imbibing just yet, however. The study that ran in Behavioral Brain Research in October 2014 was preliminary and only conducted on lab mice.

During the study, scientists discovered that xanthohumol, a type of flavonoid found in beer, seemed to improve brain function in the young mice given xanthohumol doses. The cognitive flexibility of the mice was tested with a specially

designed maze, and younger mice showed signs of intellectual improvement. Older mice showed no improvements. Researchers believe xanthohumol and other flavonoids, such as those found in red wine, blueberries and dark chocolate, may play a role in helping a person form memories.

The mice were given very high doses of the flavonoid. A person would have to drink roughly 2,000 liters of beer a day to equal what the mice consumed to show improvement. However, should a supplement hit the market down the road; it may just be possible for men and women to consume a potentially beneficial amount of xanthohumol without bellying up at the bar.

One of the goals of the xanthohumol study was to examine its potential efficacy at treating age-related deficits in memory.

Xanthohumol also may benefit

those with metabolic syndrome, a condition associated with obesity and high blood pressure, as it can speed metabolism and reduce fatty acids in the liver.

Flavonoids are plant compounds that often provide plants with their color. Scientists have attributed many health benefits to flavonoids in foods and plants and have even suggested flavonoids can help in the fight against cancer and heart disease. Xanthohumol is rare and is most often found in the hops commonly used to make beer.

While doctors and researchers do not suggest running out and consuming a few six packs right now in the goal of improving brain function and cramming for that next test, xanthohumol may one day be harvested from beer hops to slow down age-related memory deficits.

When to pay attention to your child’s school complaints The American Counseling Association

Most children will sometimes say things like, “I don’t like school,” or “The teachers don’t like me” or “I’m just no good at math.” Parents tend to ignore such comments as just part of the usual school complaining.

But there are times when what your child is trying to express may be a deeper problem and one with which he or she really needs help.

It’s important to look for signs like declining grades or grades below expectations that may signal very real problems.

Younger children find it hard to say, “I’m confused” or “I’m feeling inadequate.” Preteens and teenag-

ers are often reluctant to admit they’re struggling because it makes them look bad exactly when they’re trying to appear more adult, responsible and in control. So instead of saying, “I need homework help,” it comes out as “I hate school” or “My teacher is out to get me.”

When such comments are frequent, they shouldn’t be ignored, nor should other clear signs of real problems. When a child is reluctant to discuss school, seems angry or hostile about homework and studying, or demonstrates a lack of motivation or confidence, these are all signs that complaints about school may have a real basis. Students in such cases may refer to themselves as stupid or incapable of doing the work. They are often withdrawn,

hostile to school-related questions, very defensive and afraid of criticism.

When such symptoms appear an important first step is to let your child know you understand and empathize with the difficulties being faced. Try talking about your own school struggles, offering academic assistance, and complimenting cooperation and progress in order to rebuild confidence. If you find you can’t effectively assist with homework or studying, and many parents can’t, consider a qualified tutor to help overcome the academic problems.

Your child’s school counselor should be able to recommend a tutor, but can also help in other ways.

He or she has seen similar problems

and has the training and experience to offer assistance on how best to help your child. They may even have alternative explanations, from the school’s perspective, on why your child is struggling.

School can and should be a positive and enjoyable experience for almost every student. Being alert for when a child is asking for help, even though indirectly, can bring not only better academic success but a happier, better balanced child.

How schools can maintain eco-friendly environments for students Parents and educators alike want to create healthy learning environments for kids in schools.

healthy school environments for children. That strategy encourages faculty, staff, parents, and students to work together to maintain their school environments, which the EPA feels can lower rates of absenteeism, improve student health and academic performance, improve teacher retention and job satisfaction, and save schools money through energy and water conservation and efficiency.

The following are just a few of the many suggestions the EPA has made to encourage healthy school environments. More information is available at www.epa.gov.

Practice effective cleaning and maintenance. Cleaning products are essential to a healthy school environment, but only if schools choose the right products. Certain products contain chemicals that can cause health issues affecting the eyes, nose and throat and trigger headaches or asthma attacks. When choosing cleaning products, schools should rely on products with little or no volatile organic compound, or VOC, emissions as well as products that are biodegradable boast neutral pH levels and contain no known carcinogens.

When cleaning school buildings, do so when buildings are unoccupied; remove dust from hard, impermeable surfaces with a waterdampened cloth. Paint chips should be wiped up with a wet sponge or rag, and parents can encourage schools to use only vacuums with high-efficiency particulate air filters.

Prevent mold and moisture. Moisture stimulates mold growth and provides a nurturing environment for mites, roaches and rodents. Mold and moisture in a school can contribute to respiratory ailments, so school officials should make sure schools are routinely inspected for moisture problems, such as leaky plumbing

or leaks in the roof. Moisture-generating appliances, such as dryers, should be vented to the outside of the building, where gutters, downspouts, scuppers, and storm drains should be maintained. Downspouts should drain away from the building to prevent moisture issues and the possible formation of mold inside the school.

Reduce environmental contaminant hazards. Chemical and environmental contaminant hazards pose a threat to anyone, but especially so to children, whose bodies are still developing. School officials can take steps to reduce exposure to harmful gases like radon, a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas that occurs naturally in soil. Radon can enter schools through cracks or other openings in buildings’ foundations, which should be inspected routinely.

Another potential hazard schools should be on the lookout for is aging plumbing systems and leaky pipes.

Many students and school staff drink a substantial amount of water at school, where water supplies can be contaminated by poor plumbing systems. Even if a school’s water supply is not contaminated, a leaky

plumbing system can contribute to mold growth spurred on by water loss from leaky pipes.

Ensure adequate ventilation. Poor ventilation in a school can lead to poor indoor air quality, which has been linked to a host of health problems, including coughing, eye irritation, headaches, and allergic reactions. Inadequate ventilation and filtration systems also contribute to airborne mold, infectious diseases and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Schools should have their ventilation systems routinely inspected to ensure they are functioning at full capacity and should implement a regular schedule for inspecting and changing filters. In addition, ensure that ducts and the interior of air-handling units or unit ventilators are clean, and make sure books, papers and other items do not block ventilators.

Keeping a school environment healthy requires a team effort that includes administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and students. But working together to promote positive school environments can make a dramatic difference in student and teacher health and performance.

Humane Educator 951.674.0618 x210 HumaneEducator@animalfriendsofthevalleys.com Presentation by Marisa, AFV Humane Educator.

Scheduled to attend: a Certified Dog Trainer & Animal Behavior Specialist

Animal Friends of the Valleys is more than just a shelter. AFV is dedicated to promoting humane care of animals through education and a humane, pro-active animal services program.

We are committed to preventing the suffering of animals and to ending pet overpopulation in our community. In 2014 more than 9,000 animals passed through our doors. We have been working diligently with rescues and have even flown close to 100 dogs to other states where they could find their “fur”ever homes.

33751 Mission Trail, Wildomar | 951-674-0618 | www.animalfriendsofthevalleys.com Our shelter pets are wagging their tails in appreciation to Temecula Nissan for sponsoring this page!!
