Kim Harris Managing Editor Scores of children from the Temecula Valley had the opportunity to learn about winter during a Snow Day held at ABC Child Care Village in Temecula on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

During the event designed to reinforce lessons taught about winter, children were able to sled, make

snowmen and have snowball fights, said owner Angel Anton.

“Here at ABC we have a special event once a week and they are related to the themes we are studying and introducing to the children,” said Anton, adding that the theme for January and February is winter.

“So we go to the weather chart and look and see it’s supposed to be snowing but the children look

JPA shelves AFV audit Kim Harris Managing Editor Members of the Joint Powers Authority voted to declare a recent audit of Animal Friends of the Valleys incomplete and delay renewing the contract between the two agencies during a special meeting held on Thursday, Feb. 5. The move comes about following a county report that highlighted shortcomings in the way the nonprofit runs its business.

AFV currently provides a full range of sheltering services to the cities of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Wildomar, Murrieta and Temecula.

The audit was ordered by JPA Administrator Christopher Hans.

According to Murrieta City Council Member Randon Lane, it wasn’t fair that AFV was not allowed time to respond to the report which gave the organization low scores in areas such as pet redemptions by owner, owner notification when a pet is brought into the shelter and euthanasia practices.

“I support Animal Friends of the Valley (sic) and I support what they are doing,” said Lane who is Murrieta’s representative on the JPA. “I am going to make a motion at some point to reject these audits.”

Lane later followed through with his statement and made the motion saying he had several problems with the audit, which was conducted by Riverside County.

“One, the audits were never brought forward to this board prior to this meeting and I think that was a failure in policy to this board,” he said. “Secondly, they were never given to the Animal Friends of the Valley (sic) to allow for a rebuttal.

The third reason is that by having the audit done by the county for all intensive purposes is in competition with Animal Friends of the Valley (sic) … that audit should be done by a neutral third party. And four, I am concerned about the process that was used to bring this forward to an audit where this is turned into something that I don’t think it needed to be turned in to.”

Lane said that he would ask to bring the policies and procedures for moving forward with any type of audit before the board.

“I never had any say in whether or not we would move forward with this audit,” he said. “I sit on this board and I have a right to have a say.”

Hans said that it wasn’t his intent to drive contract negotiations one way or the other, but rather provide as much information to the board as possible as they considered renewal of the contract with AFV. The current contract expires Aug. 31.

“There are some things I didn’t anticipate, I probably should have, I am a dog owner myself and we all feel very strongly about something we all have in common, our pets,” he said. “I probably should have anticipated this kind of emotion at this meeting … I fault myself for not anticipating that.”

Hans said that he chose the county to do the audit because it was easier to get it done that way.

“It was cheaper,” he said, adding that he did put out a request for other companies to come in and do the audit. “One of the requests came back at about $50,000. I was trying to keep the price down and looking for something that would be quicker and easier and the conflict of interest maybe should have occurred to me, but honestly didn’t until we were putting this together.”

Lane said there was a process and he was only informed that the group “may” order an audit on AFV. “This board is made up to have

Hard News Driver of motorcycle leads Murrieta Police in pursuit Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist MURRIETA - A Murrieta Police Officer attempted to stop a black motorcycle Wednesday, Feb. 4, but the rider took off and a police pursuit ensued, according to reports.

According to scanner chatter and confirmed reports, the officer attempted to stop the motorcycle at about 12:50 p.m. near Weeping Willow and Washington Ave. in Murrieta, but the rider wearing a blue shirt and black helmet was able to evade the officer.

A red Ford SUV was also stopped by police because it was believed that the SUV was involved. Police then detained the driver of the SUV pending their investigation.

Additional officers responded in an attempt to locate the driver of the motorcycle.

While police were searching the area and talking with the driver

of the SUV, a black motorcycle matching the description was found parked on the wrong side of the road at Madeira and Sherry lanes, according to reports.

Police then found a pedestrian wearing a gray undershirt style tank top and blue jeans walking in a neighborhood about a block away.

Police detained the man while they conducted their investigation.

While searching the area for evidence, police found a black helmet and a blue shirt along Madeira Lane where the motorcycle was found.

According to scanner chatter, a key was found in the pedestrian’s pocket that fit the ignition of the motorcycle.

Jail records indicate that Andrew James Willia De Frantz, 21, was arrested by Murrieta police at 2:37 p.m. on Golden Mist Drive, which is about one block from where the motorcycle was found.

How To Sell A House That Didn’t Sell - If your home has just come off the market and hasn’t sold, don’t be discouraged. The reason your home did not sell may have nothing to do with your home or the market. In reality, your home may have been one of the more desirable properties for sale.

Man backs SUV into light pole during dispute Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist TEMECULA - A Temecula man crashed his SUV into a light pole that then fell onto another SUV on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 4:18 p.m., according to police on scene.

The crash in the 30200 block of Buccaneer Bay in Temecula only caused property damage and no one was injured, according to the California Highway Patrol.

According to 20-year-old Nicholos Laurencio, he went to his friend’s house to help him move out due to a family dispute, but the argument soon intensified.

Once the dispute between the family members escalated, Laurencio then tried backing up his SUV to leave the scene and that’s when he backed into the street light.

“I was just trying to get away from the scene,” Laurencio said.

“Just too much commotion, not thinking and not realizing what was going on. I was just trying to help him out ... it backfired.”

Once the SUV hit the light pole, it then fell onto another SUV causing minor damage and a broken window.

Laurencio told Valley News on scene that lessons were learned during the incident and to not overreact.

“Think before I do anything,” Laurencio said. “Don’t worry, don’t stress.”

WWII veteran Don Jackson stands in front of a Nazi flag he brought home from WWII. He shared his war Laura Rathbun photo memories during a talk at West Coast Ammo in Temecula on Jan. 31.

Laura Rathbun Writer Don Jackson of Carlsbad was an Army combat engineer during WWII who dug trenches, cleared roadways, deactivated mines and built bridges in Africa and Europe to help the Allied troops win the war. Over 70 years later, he discussed his demolition and construction work in vivid detail at a talk on Jan. 31 at West Coast Ammo in Temecula.

WWII Experience The talk was presented by the WWII Experience, an educational nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Linda Dudik of San Marcos.

She’s a former history professor who taught at Palomar College and has a passion for preserving the stories of WWII veterans. She led the talk, explained the role of combat engineers in the war, gave an overview of Jackson’s service from 1942 to 1945 and asked him questions.

Dudik said Jackson, 90, was part of the 5th and 7th Armies and participated in the invasion of Sicily, Italy, and Southern France. His unit was the 40th Combat Engineers Regiment and, along with other Allied troops, it crossed the Rhine for the final movement into Germany.

His regiment arrived at Dachau, the Nazi concentration camp outside of Munich, on April 30, 1945, the day after its liberation and discovered its horrors.

Dachau Concentration Camp At Dachau, the first assignment of Jackson’s outfit was burying piles of bodies that he said were shockingly stacked six to 10 feet high everywhere they looked. He said there were so many bodies that they had to use bulldozers to dig mass graves to bury them in and around the camp.

“Never did we ever see as many

bodies anywhere and we’d seen our share,” Jackson said.

Dudik said that Jackson was so upset by what he saw at Dachau that he pounded at the door of a German civilian across the street from the camp and asked how they could live there knowing what was going on and not do anything? The civilian answered Jackson back, what can one person do? The Allied troops made the civilians help bury the bodies.

“I’ve been to Dachau, too. It’s one of the most powerful experiences. You just never forget it,” Dudik said.

Diana Fox of Wildomar attended the talk and said that she visited Dachau in 1988 when she lived in Europe. In 1965 it was turned into a memorial site.

“When you go into the museum, you go into the room where they still have piles of shoes and shaved hair and you can still smell the gas,” Fox said.

She commented that touring the memorial site gave her an eerie feeling and filled her with overwhelming sadness. “I felt that I could hear crying and screaming,” she said.

“It was a life changing experience.”

Fox found out about Jackson’s talk from her 16-year-old daughter Jessica, who is a sophomore at Elsinore High School. She’s doing a report on WWII for history and asked her mother if they could attend it. “I said, ‘that would be awesome, let’s go’ because I’ve been to Dachau,” Fox said.

Photos of WWII Jackson brought over a dozen black and white photos of France, Germany and Dachau to show.

He said he and his outfit took the photos, but he couldn’t remember which ones he took. The photos captured horrific images of death and destruction, especially at Dachau.

“We didn’t have many cameras.

Cameras were forbidden to take overseas at that time,” he commented. “Then you couldn’t find film.

My mother would send me film. It was almost impossible to find any film in Europe at that time.”

Audie Murphy, WWII’s most decorated solider When Jackson was at Camp Pickett in Virginia before shipping overseas, he said he met Audie Murphy, who later became the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II era and a movie star.

Murphy was in the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division and later Jackson was in action with his unit and with him. Murphy mentioned Jackson’s outfit several times for getting a bridge in during action where he held off attacking Germans by himself in the Colmar Region of France.

“Was he was a down to earth guy?” Dudik asked Jackson about Murphy.

“Oh, yes, he was a regular fellow,” Jackson said.

After WWII After the war, Jackson became a high school history teacher and shared his firsthand wartime experiences with students. In 2013, his experiences were documented on film by the National World War II Museum in New Orleans and can be viewed at www.ww2online.org.

Upcoming veteran’s talk WWII Marine veteran Bob Farner of Vista will be the speaker for the WWII Experience’s next talk on Feb. 28 at 1 p.m. It will be held at West Coast Ammo located at 41892 Enterprise Circle South, Suite B. For more information on the monthly veterans’ talks, contact Dudik at ldudik@wwiiexperience. com or (760) 744-2763 or Robert Griffin, owner of West Coast Ammo at (951) 719-3272.

Living with Type 1 diabetes, a local family’s struggle Kim Harris Managing Editor For Nicole Smith, living with Type 1 diabetes presents challenges every day. Her 4-year-old son Logan was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 2 and a half.

“We just thought maybe he had the flu or something,” Nicole said.

“We weren’t sure.”

Nicole said the problem with Type 1 diabetes is that presents itself suddenly unlike Type 2 diabetes. which a person can live with for years before discovering they have the disease.

“People can be a Type 2 and not realize it until they go to the doctor and have a blood test,” she said.

“With Logan, we found out he was Type 1 because for about a week and a half he just wasn’t acting himself, he was wetting the bed constantly, we couldn’t keep his sheets dry.”

Nicole said she finally took Logan to the doctor on a Sunday because she had noticed he had lost “a ton of weight.”

“He woke up that night begging me, ‘please mommy, give me something to drink,’” she said. “At first I thought, we are trying to potty train him and we didn’t want to give him something before bed, but he was begging me like he was dying, that day we took him to the doctor.”

Doctors checked Logan after hearing the symptoms and diagnosed him with Type 1 diabetes.

Logan was sent to the emergency room immediately since his blood sugars were about five times the average, Nicole said.

“I didn’t know anything about Type 1,” she said. “I thought how could that be? He is skinny, he doesn’t each junk food, you know the typical stereotypes you hear about diabetics. Nobody in our family has this so we were really shocked when we found out.”

Type 1 diabetes is an auto immune disease that affects the body’s ability to produce insulin. Formerly called juvenile diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes, the pancreas produces little to no insulin with a sudden onset of symptoms.

Symptoms of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are similar and may include increased urination, thirst or dry mouth, hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, frequent or continu-

ous infections and tingling or pain in the hands, feet or both. However, with Type 2 diabetes, symptoms come on gradually or may not be noticed at all, according to a report by the Mayo Clinic.

“We were at the hospital for four days,” Nicole said. “Most of that time was spent with the doctors and nurses educating us on how to take care of him because insulin is a medicine they have to take but if you take it wrong, it could kill you.

That was kind of scary.”

Nicole said when they did blood tests on Logan they could tell that he had been suffering from the disease for at least three months.

“They have no idea what causes it, there is no cure,” she said. “Diet and exercise can help keep you healthy, help keep that blood sugar low, but it has nothing to do with how you get Type 1.”

Nicole said that doctors suspect that it could be hereditary or that perhaps a virus can trigger the onset of the disease, which needs to be managed on a constant basis.

“With Type 1 it’s all day and I don’t think a lot of people realize that,” Nicole said. “It’s not like you just take some medicine and move on with the day. His blood sugar fluctuates up and down all day long.”

Logan wears a Dexcom blood sugar monitor that checks his blood sugars every five minutes and an insulin pump that gives him insulin every five minutes too.

“He is on this for the rest of his life and every Type 1 diabetic, anytime they eat or drink anything with carbohydrates they have to give themselves insulin,” Nicole said. “If he wants a glass of milk, we know there are 14 carbs in a cup of milk so we have to give him insulin prior to his drinking that milk.”

Nicole said having a picky toddler can create challenges when trying to determine what to feed Logan and that sometimes he will ask for something then change his mind, sending them scrambling for an alternative. Logan is great eater, she said, so while it’s sometimes stressful, it’s not “over the top.”

“With a picky toddler there are times he doesn’t want to eat something and he’ll tell me ‘I’d like a bowl of cereal.’ So we’ll give him insulin then give him a bowl of cereal and then he says ‘I don’t

want it anymore,’” she said. “Well, we can’t just let him walk away we have to come up with something to give him to make up for those carbohydrates because we’ve already given him insulin and he will crash if we don’t.”

Nicole said she is also concerned with Logan starting kindergarten soon.

“We worry about when he starts kindergarten and going through the whole process at the school because every time he eats he has to have insulin,” she said. “We have to give him insulin based on his insulin to carb ratio and that changes constantly as he grows.”

Nicole said her biggest frustration with the disease is the extreme highs and lows that Logan experiences one a daily basis.

“We’re trying to keep it in balance,” she said. “His numbers are so up and down all day. We never know, his blood sugars are never just stable. He’ll never be stable, I am told after puberty once they are done growing those numbers will stabilize somewhat, but with a small child, it changes almost constantly.”

Logan has a 16-year-old brother, an 11-year-old sister and a twin

brother Gavin, none of who suffer from the disease. Nicole said doctors have told her that there is only a very small chance of Gavin getting the disease, but she still worries about the possibility.”

“We think about it all the time,” said Nicole. “We had some issues with Gavin peeing in the middle of the night, but so far he is OK. Anytime there is even a slight symptom of Type 1 we are always checking Gavin.”

Nicole said she is shocked that people don’t talk about the disease more.

“There are children that it gets dismissed, even a lot of doctors and nurses don’t know a lot about Type 1 so when these kids show up in the emergency room they dismiss it as flu-like symptoms,” she said. “Usually by the time a Type 1 diabetic gets to the hospital they are usually vomiting, they are in DKA which is diabetic ketoacidosis and their blood sugar is so high and the symptoms show all the signs of flu.”

According to Nicole, because of the flu-like symptoms many children get sent home, but the danger is still there.

“Some kids can fall into a coma and die, that’s why I am surprised people don’t talk about it,” she said.

“I had no idea, had he not lost the weight and just not looking himself we wouldn’t have taken him to the doctor right way, we might have dismissed it as a bug.”

Nicole said she hopes that by doing things like sharing her family’s story and supporting the upcoming Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s upcoming JDRF walk at Lake Elsinore Storm Stadium on March 7 will alert others to the dangers of Type 1 diabetes.

“If you can let people know that Type 1 diabetes can happen to anyone, if people just knew about it, maybe people would participate in the walk or donate to the cause,” Nicole said. “In the two years I have been doing research on this, it seems like nobody really cares about us.

That is how the Type 1 community feels and it seems to me the only people really searching for a cure for us are parents of children with Type 1 diabetes or JDRF. They are the one group that is searching for a cure, searching for better technologies for Type 1.”

Nicole said if JDRF’s efforts and telling her story can help to make a change in a child’s life it’s all worth it.

“It might not be the flu, get your child to the hospital right away, because if you don’t, that child can die,” she said. “It happens so fast with Type 1, it’s not only to raise awareness, it’s to help save a little kid’s life.”

Local Lake Elsinore City Council names business of the year Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer The Lake Elsinore City Council reinstated business recognition at its Jan. 27 meeting, naming the Lake Elsinore Outlet Center the business of the year. Mayor Pro Tem Brian Tisdale recognized the Mohr Affinity, LLC for being acknowledged the 2014 business of the year.

“Our outlet center is the second oldest in the state of California,

part of our community since 1991,” Tisdale said. “In 2011, the outlet’s vision came to life with the recent expansion and renovation.”

According to Tisdale, traffic at the outlet center has increased and sales are trending upwards.

“This is an example of a great developer who came in, had a vision, and made it happen,” Tisdale said.

Representatives of Mohr Affinity offered their thanks to city staff saying that it takes a village to realize the vision they had, something

that couldn’t be done without the Lake Elsinore community.

“We wanted the city to come, to shop, and something the city and its residents could be proud of,” a Mohr Affinity representative said.

Councilmember Robert Magee made it known the council was interested in seeing applications for development in the areas of a hospital, college, and institutes of higher education, and that the council is waiting for the private sector to step forward with a sound development proposal or letter of

intent.

Councilmember Natasha Johnson stated that the city is looking for planning commissioners.

Paperwork is available at the city clerk’s office, she said.

Other areas of discussion included discussions on a Public Hearing Notices for the Lakeshore Zoning District, and further discussion on the Outlet Mall Development Agreement.

The council also acknowledged Claudia Davis, retired after 20 years of service to the community

as the Lakes Park and Recreation Manager.

“I’ve had so many years of gratitude, working for the city.

My dreams have come true here,” Davis said.

Mayor Steve Manos thanked Davis. “Congratulations for your retirement, and for making this city a better place,” he said.

The next Lake Elsinore City Council Meeting will take place Feb. 10.

City holds workshop on synthetic turf installed at Los Alamos Sports Park Kim Harris Managing Editor During a workshop on synthetic turf held before the Feb. 3 Murrieta City Council meeting, city leaders explored the health risks and benefits regarding the crumb rubber surfaces installed at Los Alamos Sports Park in 2014.

The workshop came about following an October 2014 NBC Nightly News report investigating whether or not there is a link between the rubber used in synthetic turf and players developing cancer.

Mike Mirante, the California sales manager for Sprint Turf whose company was awarded the contract to install turf on the field in February 2014 told the council it was good to ask questions.

“I think we have done plenty of studies to basically prove that it is safe,” he said, adding that other options for artificial turf are being explored, but many have failed and those that haven’t prove to be cost prohibitive.

“There is a virgin rubber that is being used now but it’s very, very expensive it’s about the same amount of money as it is for the field so you’d be paying twice as much,” he said. “We are always trying to improve.”

Council Member Alan Long asked specifically if there was a link to the crumb rubber and cancer as many have feared there could be and if there were ongoing studies to explore the issue.

“There was a study completed in Montreal recently by a high school where the crumb rubber was tested and it was deemed safe to use,” Mirante said. “We are governed by what is called the synthetic turf council and they are starting a process to do more testing as we speak now.”

Long said that he understood there were noticeable differences between synthetic turf and natural grass, including the cushion that the synthetic turf offers and that he wondered if there were other benefits to using synthetic turf verses natural grass.

“If you were to take a perfectly groomed grass field that was hardly ever used and a synthetic turf field, the injury rate would be about the same,” said Mirante, adding that injuries happen no matter what type of field an athlete plays on.

“What I would say is as fields get into use, a grass field can change its quality, divots and holes and all kinds of things can happen and as it gets used, it gets even more dangerous,” he said. “With a synthetic turf field it remains the same year round we actually do what is called a shock insinuation test … for impact, concussions and it’s got to meet a certain level or the field is not safe to play on, that is never done on a grass field.”

According to Mirante there is hardly any testing on grass fields.

“With the old fields in the ‘70s and ‘80s there were more injuries, but that is what the crumb rubber is for, filler,” he said. “You can get your cleats in there you can turn, you can plant, it’s just a lot safer.”

Mirante said the artificial turf placed at the park is a polyethylene fiber about two and a half inches long and is filled three quarters of the way up with sand and rubber.

“What that does is stand the grass up and acts as a cushion and also the fill acts in a way where you can get your cleats in there and grab and turn and run on it and that is the basic makeup of the synthetic turf,” he explained.

Council Member Randon Lane said that he’d like to think that he had deep and intelligent questions about it, but since it was all new to him that unfortunately wasn’t the case.

“I have been doing a lot of reading on this and it seems there are a lot of people who are supportive of it and a lot of people who are against it,” Lane said. “They were talking

about all these chemicals that come from the tires. One of the reasons that they don’t let you throw tires in the landfill is if you burn them all of these chemicals come off. (Reports) are basically saying that there is not enough heat to cause that kind of breakdown in the rubber for those chemicals to be released.”

Lane said it was interesting for him to read the reports, but he was curious how one of the other concerns, cleanliness of the fields was being addressed.

Bob Kast, who was the project manager who oversaw installation of the turf for the city said that there was irrigation installed under the turf and that, in conjunction with natural rainfall, bacteria and other cleanliness issues shouldn’t be a problem.

“During different times or intervals the contractor goes out there

and this gets irrigated and with the chlorine that’s in the water, actually doesn’t have any health concerns of anything being left behind,” he said.

“There are ways when they groom the field that affects that too. The brushes actually lift the material and lay it back down so there is a lot of air circulation around when we are grooming the fields.”

Mirante said that he believes the synthetic fields have continued to improve over the years.

“I worked for the city of Seattle for 15 years, I was an athletic field coordinator and I put the very first field in of this product,” he said.

“It’s come a long way since that first product we put in.”

Mirante said that the Kansas City Chiefs use the company’s products as does the Philadelphia Eagles, UCLA, Eastern Washington University and many military projects

all over the country.

Council Member Rick Gibbs said that after hundreds of installations there were no indications that the product composition was responsible for potentially causing cancer, but he was curious about California Senate Bill 47.

The bill, which is currently in the committee process, if passed would temporarily prohibit a public or private school or local government until January 2018 from installing new synthetic turf fields of playground surfaces made from crumb rubber until the state could conduct studies on the surfaces.

“For a period of time until the study was completed by the California EPA, the city of Murrieta would not be able to install any type of surfacing that used crumb rubber,” said Murrieta Parks and Recreation Manager Lea Kolek. “Not only the

turf, but the rubberized surfacing that we use in playgrounds.”

Installations already in place would remain until the study was concluded should the bill pass.

Gibbs said that he believed it was a good discussion to have and that city leaders needed to be concerned about the safety of children.

“There is an element of risk in everything we do in life and when we allow our kids to play some type of sports we know there is an element of risk,” he said. “I guess from the council perspective it is always good to ask these types of questions, but if there is something that comes forward with concrete evidence that there is a cancer causing agent, empirical data then we would do something about it. Until such time as that happens we’ve got a great field.”

awards from page A-1 the event. The Jerry Delisle award will become an annual award.

Car accident survivor Kaitlyn Parra walked to the podium and shared her experience as being one of last year’s Stars of the Valley recipients. Following her accident, Parra suffered a stroke and was in Inland Valley Medical Center in a coma. She wasn’t expected to walk again.

Parra’s wish was to visit Boston and her dream is to someday be a motivational speaker. The event gave her a trip to Boston and added a bonus trip to Washington, D.C., including a tour of the White House and the Pentagon.

“We were treated like royalty,” said Parra of her trip back east. The teen also was invited to speak at the 2014 California Women’s Conference last May. “I don’t know what else to dream about; all my dreams are fulfilled!” she exclaimed.

This year’s recipients are Anthony Carbajal, diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis better known as ALS; Joshua Williams, who has Paraplegic Cerebral Palsy;

and Tristan Brockbank, who has Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Carbajal, 27, has a family history of ALS; his grandmother passed away of it and Carbajal has been taking care of his mother for the past 10 years since her diagnosis with the disease. During the Ice Bucket Challenge phenomenon, Carbajal filmed a selfie video about his world of living with and fighting ALS. In the video he called out Ellen Degeneres to take the challenge. The video went viral and Carbajal soon found himself on the Degeneres’ show where they were both doused with ice water. The exposure of the video and on the show helped raise over $4 million for ALS research and treatment.

Carbajal’s wish is to travel to the Philippines to renew his vows with his wife Laarne Palec’s grandmother and family. The two were recently wed in November. The organization is granting that wish, including paying for a five-star hotel, the vow renewal ceremony and the reception.

“But that’s not all,” Prestifilippo said. The organization is also fulfilling a number of items on Carbajal’s

“You all encourage me,” Carbajal said. “There is so much to live for, to fight for, and to be grateful for.”

Joshua Williams, 22, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at age 3 and had to relearn to walk with the aid of crutches. Williams had moved to the area a few years ago to help his sister with her son while her husband was deployed.

When they received transfer orders, Joshua stayed, found a passion for ministry and became an ordained youth pastor.

Charity for Charity is sending Williams to Israel on a Pastors’ Familiarization Tour to fulfill his wish to visit the Holy Land.

“But that’s not all,” Prestifilippo said. Williams was also presented with spending money and travel gear. A generous patron also gave him a Microsoft Surface Pro tablet/ computer to help with his studies. Williams is also invited to be the guest of honor at The Potter’s House Church in North Dallas, Tex., a mega-church of about 30,000 members.

Williams responded with his signature phrase, “It’s all good! Wow! When I first heard about all this, I thought I was being punked.” Williams went on to credit God with all the honor and glory and citing the scripture Ephesians 3:20. He said, “this is one of those exceedingly abundant moments. I serve a God who goes beyond what you need.”

He encouraged the other two beneficiaries of the night, saying “God is not finished with you yet!” He told the Charity for Charity team, “You guys are life-changers!”

Tristan Brockbank, 13, was diagnosed with cancer last September.

The student athlete was active in football, wrestling and lacrosse and loves fishing with his family. Content with his life, Brockband didn’t have many wishes. “He knows he is living his dream which is to positively affect people’s lives,” said Tristan’s mom.

Brockbank recalled being asked in the hospital about a wish, “I was on drugs then,” he said, “I

wanted Dan Henderson to come and wrestle with me and teach me some moves.” Although Brockbank’s condition will not allow him to actually get on the mat and wrestle, MMA superstar Henderson has offered to let him come to a gym practice and take him to lunch.

“But that’s not all,” Prestifilippo said. “We are sending your entire family to Big Bear for a week and chartering a fishing boat for two days.”

Brockbank is also a fan of the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers Linebacker Patrick Willis.

The organization has arranged for the family to go to the 49ers’ spring training camp where he will meet Willis. The Jets have invited Brockbank and three guests to come watch a game next season from the Coaches’ Suite; he will also get an on-the-field pass for before the game.

Brockbank’s simple heartfelt reply was, “Thank you for all the support and everyone coming out.”

The awards portion of the ceremony recognized five nominees in each of the eight categories.

David and Karen La Pointe of La Pointe Wealth Management presented the “Invest in Others” award honoring a local humanitarian. The nominees were Gary Oddi, Janie Drexel Buss, Nancy Hughes, Robert Rosenstein and Michael Noon. The winner was Gary Oddi.

Ken Negrete presented the award sponsored by Integrity Rebar Placers to Julie Ngo. Dr. Bret Abshire and his daughter Britney, representing Temecula Valley Neurosurgery, presented the “I’ve Got Your Back” award to JP Raineri. He was nominated along with Dr. Earl Shaw, Pamela Leonard, Runar Lrgen and Janene Hogan.

“My wife calls this the ‘I Never Say No award’,” Raineri said.

The “Glass Half Full” award, sponsored by The Bar Next Door @ Spuntino, was presented by Prestifilippo and her husband Alex.

The nominees were Rick Neugebauer, Bob Madden, Malinda Margiotta, Raj Narayanan and Marissa Deegan. The winner was Raj Narayanan.

Kristina Mace and her daughter Cortney presented the “Driven” award recognizing someone with drive and ambition. The nominees were Janice Sutton, Mark Gosch, Geraldine Strunsky, Emily Falappino, and Wes Schaeffer. Falappino won the award sponsored by Tom’s Foreign Autohouse.

“I am driven by a faith that reminds me that I am small but significant,” Falappino said. “I am inspired by all the recipients here.”

Aubrey Finn and Stan Azavedo of La Masters Fine Jewelry presented the “Brightest Star of the Valley” award to Lisa Forss. Also nominated for the award were Gillian larson, Ed Sibby, Mark Anselmo and Rosie Wilson. La Masters sponsored the award.

“One of the most gratifying and rewarding experiences is when you have inspired your children to do charitable things,” Forss said.

The evening closed with a live auction and live music from the band Player featuring RoNN Moss (Ridge Forrester from The Bold and The Beautiful), Jawn Star and Jimmy Carnelli.

“This was such a special night.

The award was humbling to say the least,” Raineri said. “To be nominated and win an award based off of the things I do in the community, especially for the youth, is certainly gratifying, but never did I expect to be recognized for it. The best part was that this night was really all about the beneficiaries, and to be a part of something so big for them in their lives, I was truly honored to even be in the same room as them. I can’t wait to pay this forward and I am so excited to help Charity with her event for many years to come.”

Approximately $35,000 was raised during Saturday’s event..

Health Inspectors find violations at County Jails Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist Health inspections at Riverside County jails and juvenile halls in 2014 found a few issues including leaking pipes, housekeeping, documentation and other more serious issues, a report submitted to the Board of Supervisors indicated.

While inspectors did find a few issues at Murrieta’s Southwest Detention Center, their main concern was at the nearby Southwest Juvenile Hall.

According to the report by the three-person team from the Depart-

ment of Public Health, it was found that minors were not receiving their medical appraisals within the 96hour admission window, which it is recommended, and there were also no protocols established in policy manuals for dealing with suicidal behaviors.

Also, it was found that there were no procedures on how and when to place pregnant minors into restraints at all three of the county’s juvenile detention centers.

At nearly all five of the county’s jails, it was found that mattresses were tearing and wearing out too fast, the report stated. Staff at the Robert Presley Detention Center in

Riverside told inspectors that they were having to replace nearly 30 mattresses every week. Food handlers at the detention center were also flagged by the inspectors for leaving hazardous foods too long in open buffets.

Banning’s Smith Correctional Facility had the highest number of leaking showers and sewer pipes.

The report also indicated that the jail had too much Decon rodent poison in the onsite warehouse that needed to be replaced with live traps, snap or sticky traps to prevent rodents from crawling into inaccessible places.

Agency authorized to create countywide collision data system RIVERSIDE - The Board of Supervisors today authorized the Riverside County Department of Transportation to implement a countywide collision data collection system, accessible to area cities, to make roads throughout the region safer.

The Department of Transportation was awarded a $340,000 federal grant, disbursed by the California Office of Traffic Safety, to upgrade its Geographic Information System. According to transportation officials, the system will now be converted into a real-time data cruncher that identifies problem spots on roads and intersections anywhere in the county – except for state highways.

The agency’s current system

focuses only on roads in unincorporated communities.

“The county requires traffic collision records on a timelier basis and, in addition, needs to have data accessible in a regional system,’’ officials wrote in documents posted to the board’s policy agenda.

“Having access to timely data provides the Department of Transportation the ability to make informed decisions in directing resources for traffic safety improvements. We can more effectively prioritize projects and budgets and be proactive in implementing safety improvements that will reduce fatalities, injuries and property damage.”

One of the key features of the upgraded Geographic Information System will be its 74 availability to

area municipalities, whose authorities will be able to coordinate with the county in making improvements to shared roads and intersections.

Collision reports collected from law enforcement and other agencies will be uploaded and processed as quickly as they can be obtained, transportation officials said, adding that the goal will be to have a report entered into the GIS no later than 60 days after it’s filed. Along with proprietary software, the system will utilize Google Earth for mapping collision locations.

The county will provide training for users from cities signed on to access the system. Program development is expected to be completed

by September.

Woman escorted out of Menifee City Council meeting Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist A Riverside woman was escorted out of a Menifee City Council meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

Menifee Mayor Scott Mann said he was forced to have a Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy escort Vivian Moreno out of the meeting because she was being disruptive during public comments.

“The speaker was removed because she disrupted the meeting at city hall, not because of her comments,” Mann said. “We simply enforced the city’s rules of decorum.”

After squabbling with the Menifee City Attorney Jeff Melching, Moreno directed her rant towards Mann.

“There is nothing that incenses me more than a mayor that is a bully,” Moreno said. “If any one of you

AFV from page A-1 jurisdiction over this and for us to be completely and utterly kept out of the loop on a process that is happening is inappropriate on every level that I can imagine,” he said.

“That I have issue with.”

Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards, who represents the city on the JPA board agreed with Lane, saying that having the county perform the audit when they were in direct competition with AFV was inappropriate.

“What we have here is a gross failure to communicate,” she said.

“There were failures on so many levels. Just the appearance of a conflict having the county audit when they are in direct competition with the animal shelters is primary. The second thing is we should never have come back to the board for a decision without having Animal Friends being able to answer.”

Lake Elsinore Representative and City Council Member Brian Tisdale called for an audit of the nonprofit in September of last year during a city council meeting after receiving what he called “numerous complaints” on the agency located in Lake Elsinore. The city decided to table the discussion to renew the more than two decades long contract it held with the agency until an audit could be completed.

“I have asked for an independent audit,” Tisdale said during the August city council meeting.

“There is going to be a financial and operational audit conducted.”

During the Feb. 4 meeting of the JPA, Tisdale said that he thought the special audit was necessary.

“We have policies on this,” he said. “I got a bunch of complaints,

stop me, there will be a lawsuit.”

While walking away from the podium, Moreno continued to disrupt the meeting by threatening to sue the city and Mann.

“This city will have the biggest lawsuit that you have ever seen and Mr. Mann, I will sue you personally,” Moreno said as she was collecting her items. “Thank you. I need a new house and I know that you can’t afford one.”

This was Mann’s first time having to have a public speaker removed from a city meeting.

“I actually feel bad about having to remove her,” Mann said. “I’ve never had to do that before.”

The woman and another man left the city chambers as sheriff deputies escorted them out.

“The deputy escorted her out of the chamber,” Mann said. “She was not physically taken out nor was she arrested.” everything I received I gave to our county council and our administrator, everything. So with the upcoming end of the contract they thought it was necessary that we should possibly do an audit. I asked specifically for a closed session so we could share this information with other board members so they would have an idea. It’s the board’s decision to do what the board wants to do. The concerns were there and they were enough for the administrator to do an audit so we are where we are.”

The board voted 4 – 1, with Tisdale dissenting, to declare the audit incomplete and allow AFV time to respond to claims made in the audit.

After just over an hour of public comments from nearly two dozen speakers both for and against AFV, the board voted unanimously to bring the contract between the agency and the JPA back before the board at a later date.

AFV President Kris Anderson issued a statement on social media following the meeting saying she was appreciative of the turnout by shelter supporters.

“The decision of the board was to reject the audits as incomplete,” Anderson posted online. “The board will meet again to talk about renewing the sheltering contract as there are new members that need to review the contract; AFV needs to see if there are any other items needed for the next 5 years, and work on strengthening our partnership with all the cities & the county. There was very emotional testimony and heartfelt concerns for all involved. We need to come together for the love of the animals!

Thank you for your support.”

Local Valley News launches new website Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist The Valley News is excited to announce the launch of it’s newly redesigned website. With a new enhanced look and streamlined menus, MyValleyNews.com now offers ease of access for all users.

The launch coincides with Village News, Inc.’s launch of its other websites, VillageNews.com and AnzaValleyOutlook.com.

“The new websites have a more modern design and include updated code that will help us with search engine optimization,” Publisher Julie Reeder said. “We also have better reports that are available to us and our advertisers showing geographically where the readers are coming from, and demographically who is reading our stories online.”

Reeder said that while the com-

pany was pleased with the performance of the former websites, upgrading to the newer sites will offer ease of use for readers and give advertisers new and exciting platforms to promote their businesses.

“We have been very happy with the performance of our websites over the last 17 years, but we’re excited about the future of our company as we continue to grow and utilize newer technology,” she said.

“Our new website has more online features including video newscasts, video commercials, multimedia stories, marketing opportunities and much more. It also is more mobile friendly.”

As more people turn to the Internet for news, the goal was to make MyValleyNews.com faster, more user friendly and cleaner, something that Reeder believes has been accomplished with the launch of the new websites and the migration of

the sites to a new faster, dedicated server.

“Easier navigation between stories, full-resolution photos, highdefinition videos and newscasts, combined with marketing opportunities that allow advertisers to reach

their target market all in one place make MyValleyNews.com a valuable tool for our readers and local business owners alike,” Reeder said.

The migration to the new sites and server included about 100,000 local stories and images. Reeder

said, “We believe it is important to have strong archives for our readers.

There still may be some photos that we need to connect with stories, but out of the 17 years we’ve been covering local news, we have eight to nine years of archives available on the websites. To be added in the next few days is the new classified ads system and our contact forms, which people use to send in press releases and story leads. In addition we will be featuring our newscast on the front page.” Several other sites are currently in development, including Fallbrook.org which will remain offline until the new site is finished.”

Valley News utilized the business development and IT consulting services of Carlos A. Bazan-Canabal.

“He has done an amazing job,” Reeder said. “We’ve really appreciated his professionalism and innovative ideas.”

Retired history professor’s mission is to preserve WWII veterans’ stories Laura Rathbun Writer Out of the 16 million who served during WWII, a little over 1 million are still alive, according to Dr. Linda Dudik, a retired history professor who has made it her mission since 2009 to preserve as many of the veterans’ stories as possible through her nonprofit organization the WWII Experience.

Dudik, a 67-year-old San Marcos resident, taught at Palomar College in San Marcos for 34 years and developed an interest in WWII

veterans’ stories in 2002.

“In the spring of 2002, I organized an event at the college which I entitled ‘Men and Women of World War II.’ Since I taught a course on women in U.S. history, each spring I usually put on some type of public event where we honored women’s roles in our history,” she said. After just reading Tom Brokaw’s book “The Greatest Generation,” she invited some married couples to the campus so they could share their WWII stories.

Over 300 people attended the event, including students, college staff and members of the commu-

nity. “Along with the audience, I was caught up in the stories these men and women shared with us,” she said.

After the event, Dudik decided to create a class that would similarly allow students to interact with WWII veterans, the people who lived the history we read about in books, she said.

During a 2003 sabbatical she devoted her time to creating a course that she thought was unique.

“It was not on WWII itself, with political and military emphases,” she said. “Rather, I entitled the course ‘The WWII Generation.’

The class focused on the stories of the generation.” Men and women from the era visited the class and sat on various panels where they discussed their experiences.

Dudik said the more she studied the veterans’ stories in books, especially memoirs, and heard their stories in person, the more she admired their character.

“I believe history should teach us about our past, but it should also inspire us. The WWII generation does this for me. Their commitment, sense of responsibility and community, their willingness to sacrifice, their patriotism, and their faith reflect what I think is at the core of our national character,” she commented. “But such traits have been found wanting, I believe, in more recent decades. If we can expose more of our young people to the stories of the WWII generation, I hope that such personal histories will inspire a younger generation.”

Dr. Linda Dudik speaks to the audience at the Jan. 31 WWII Experience veteran’s talk at the West Coast Ammo store in Temecula.

2009, she already had the website and the name WWII Experience.

“It was a 2008 Christmas gift from one of my sons and his wife. His wife designed the site and does all of the graphics for the nonprofit; they knew that I wanted to write some of the stories down, from people I knew, and they thought the website would be a perfect way to share the stories,” she said.

Within a few weeks of her retirement, she filed for a 501c3 nonprofit status for the organization, which allows donations to be tax deductible. “We use the donations to pay for expenses only,” she said. “I do not take a salary nor do the other two officers in the WWII Experience.”

It took Dudik months to do the paperwork for nonprofit status, then more months to write material for the website. She wrote lengthy introductions on the Home Front and POW sections because she thought those two sections would be where visitors to the website would appreciate background information.

“I think that generally, people interested in WWII have more knowledge of the Pacific and European Theaters than on the Home Front and on the MIA/POW history,” she said. “As I started to work with veterans on in-depth stories, I realized that if I wanted younger generations in particular to learn from these personal histories, I needed to put the stories in a historical perspective.”

There are over 40 vignettes on the website. Dudik has written nine full-length veterans’ stories and is presently working on another about two married WWII Marines who live in Fallbrook. “I have notes on several other people profiled in the vignettes and others whose names are not on the website yet,” she said. “Those stories will be written up sometime in the future, but right now, I put the priority on working with people who are still alive and on whom I do not have detailed information on such as the Fallbrook couple.”

Dudik has authored three books for veterans who wanted their stories documented in book format. The books are for sale on the website. “Because of donations to the WWII Experience, especially from the Griffin family at West Coast Ammo, we were able to do that for them,” she said.

West Coast Ammo owner Robert Griffin has offered his Temecula store as a place for Dudik to hold monthly veterans’ talks since January 2014. Dudik said that in December 2013 Griffin overheard a comment she made at a Pearl Harbor Survivors luncheon that she had been unsuccessful finding a North County San Diego business

to sponsor the WWII Experience.

Griffin immediately told Dudik that his store could do it. His grandfather was in the Army Air Corps during WWII and his father served in the Air Force during the Vietnam War. “Rob knew his customers would be interested in hearing firsthand accounts of WWII from the veterans, so I began taking someone there monthly beginning last January 2014,” Dudik said. “The people who show up are such an engaged group, often with family ties to the topic discussed that month.”

On Jan. 31, Carlsbad resident Don Jackson, 90, spoke about his experience as a WWII Army combat engineer and on Feb. 28 at 1 p.m. Marine veteran Bob Farner of Vista will share his wartime experiences at the store located at 41892 Enterprise Circle South, Suite B. Dudik, who had an uncle in WWII, said the veterans have been eager to share their stories. “They know their time to do so is limited.

Most want their families to have their stories; I point out how their accounts can teach others, too,” she said.

Many veterans have donated wartime memorabilia to Dudik because they don’t have family to inherit it or their family doesn’t want it. “I have many items, mostly from the Home Front, although I do have several uniforms. Most of the items are photographs, ration books, Blue Star Banners, letters, newspapers, magazines, and posters,” she said. “I bought some at estate sales, garage sales, antique stores, and some are donated.

“I use many of the items in public presentations and in my research, especially the WWII publications,” she said. She will donate the artifacts to a museum or archive center when she is done running the nonprofit. She plans on running it as long as her health allows her to do so.

“I do the work because I believe in preserving these stories, or, simply put, I believe in the value of history. And at its core, it is a collection of personal stories more than anything else,” she said.

A WWII friend gave Dudik a small plaque with the quote from Michelangelo, “I am still learning.”

It hangs over her desk.

“Members of the WWII generation are my teachers,” she said.

“What am I learning from them?

A lot of history, but also examples of character traits such as commitment, faith, responsibility, etc.”

Local snow from page A-1 outside and see there is no snow.”

To make the day fun for the students 12 tons of snow was trucked in to both of the center’s Temecula locations.

“We use an ice company and they put the ice through a shredder and it sprays out a big hose,” she said.

Anton said the group brought the snow in so the children could have the opportunity to learn hands-on about the season, which typically isn’t able to be experienced in Southern California.

“A lot of children are seeing the snow for the first time so it’s such a thrill,” Anton said. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Anton said that learning by doing is a great way to reinforce lessons that are taught in the classroom.

“What we want to do is give them those hands on learning experiences so we teach them that love of learning by making it fun,” she said.

According to Anton the Snow Day was enjoyed by students and parents alike.

“We literally had kids saying, ‘this is the best day at ABC ever,’” she said, adding that the theme was based on Disney’s mega hit movie “Frozen.”

“They were saying they wished it could be snow day every day,” she said. “They were super excited about it being a ‘Frozen’ snow day.

It was a blast.”

ABC Child Care Village and its sister location, ABC Child Care Center, focuses on ABC striving for and maintaining outstanding exemplary program standards by providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum, which meets the developing social, emotional, cognitive, creative, linguistic, and physical needs of each child by using an integrated approach.

Who’s your Valentine and what are your plans for the holiday?

Mark Baker, Temecula resident “My Valentine is my daughter Mandy who’s 22. I’ve raised her on my own and of lately she’s engaged to a Marine at Camp Pendleton named Luke. She’s definitely going to get flowers from her father.”

Pam Desire, Murrieta resident “My husband Jean is my Valentine. We’ll probably do a lunch or dinner date with our two kids at Wilson Creek Winery or one of the other wineries.”

Kim Harris Managing Editor When I was about 3-years-old, my family still had an old black and white television with the rabbit ears on top. I remember my parents were constantly adjusting them to get the clearest picture they could of soap operas during the day or shows like “Bonanza” and “Gunsmoke” in the evening. Living in a dull black and white world, it is no wonder to me now that when the Sunday paper was delivered my two older sisters and I would fall into an all-out brawl to get to the “funny pages” that we so eagerly awaited each week. I think that is truly when my love of newspapers began As time marched on, we eventually bought a color television and I began to realize that comics weren’t the only thing of value in a newspaper. I graduated from the funny pages and began looking at some of the more serious things in the newspaper. I could be found daily afterschool, scanning those muddy black and white pages frantically for names of people we knew. I didn’t much care what context the story was in, just that someone I knew was in the paper.

“Oh what joy to be so famous as to have my name in the paper,” I thought to myself.

I was in high school when I had my first journalism class, ninth grade to be exact. Mrs. Pirrotta, with her fiery red hair and passion for the business of reporting the news, was my hero.

I no longer remember the words verbatim, but she once told us eager students that journalists are responsible to inform the public in a fair, balanced and accurate manner. As journalists we hold governments and others accountable for their actions and inform the readers of the news that really matters to our communities.

Those words have stuck with me to this day and it’s those words I want to expound upon in this column.

Newspapers perform a vital function by holding our governments accountable. We are political watchdogs, reporting on what elected officials are doing in office. We not only share factual accounts of activities, but our reporting allows our readers to evaluate officials’ performances based on the news we share. By doing so, voters have the information they need to determine whether or not to re-elect a political figure to office.

Reporting on our governments also keeps those elected officials on their toes. When there is a constant flow of information about what our city, county and federal elected officials are up to, those officials may make decisions differently than they would if those decisions were to remain hidden from the public eye.

In addition to government actions, community news is a big part of our lives. From the stories about people who live among us who are doing amazing things, to entertainment and dining to local sports, we let you, the reader, know what is happening in our midst on a daily basis.

Through our advertising programs – both in print and digital media – and informative articles on local businesses, Valley News helps to boost the local economy. Our coverage can help drive traffic to that mom and pop business on the corner during a time we should be shopping locally and be investing in our communities and protecting local jobs.

In my opinion, one of the most important things we bring to the community is a voice. Not just our voice, but the reader’s voice as well.

Through letters to the editor and our comments section available on every story listed on myvalleynews.com, readers are asked to share their opinions about what they have read and activities in the community. Good or bad, we value the readers’ feedback as it helps us to fine tune our reporting and brings light to things we may not have been aware of.

To summarize, the thing to remember here is that the Valley News belongs to the community. Through our reporting we bring issues to light, hold our governments accountable, support our local economy and give you a voice.

All of us at the Valley News are proud to serve our community and hope that you, the reader, are happy to have us here.

Assemblymember Melissa Melendez reflects on her first term in the State Assembly Melissa Melendez Assemblymember 67th District Kelly Kniffin, Temecula resident, with nephew Jack Kniffin (left) and niece Reagan Kniffin (right).

“My Valentines are my 18-month-old twin niece and nephew Reagan and Jack who I take care of fulltime. I haven’t really thought of what to do. Maybe we’ll go to the park. They love the park.”

Kokoechat Masek, Murrieta resident, with daughters Sophia Masek, 6, (left) and Norah Masek, 4, (right).

“My husband Cody is my Valentine. I’m just going to cook dinner at home with a nice bottle of wine and chocolate cake.”

I am humbled and honored to have been re-elected to the California State Assembly to be my neighbors’ voice in Sacramento. As I begin my second term, I want to take a moment to look back at my first two years serving the people of the 67th Assembly District as their representative in our state’s capitol.

In my first term, I got right to work introducing legislation to provide relief to our business community so that they can do what they do best – create jobs. I introduced Assembly Bill 718, which aimed to enact a tax holiday that would save California businesses from paying the state sales tax one day per year. This would have reduced prices by over six percent throughout the state, resulting in increased consumer spending and stimulating the economy.

In Sacramento, we often see state lawmakers spending money on huge government programs to help Californians get ahead. This approach has not been successful in the past. That’s why AB 718 focused stimulus efforts from the bottom up, by saving consumers money more directly.

I also introduced Assembly Bill 2496 which would have helped our state’s new businesses by offering

them a five-year exemption from paying the Minimum Franchise Tax. Businesses have been leaving California left and right in search of greener pastures where the tax rates are more business friendly. AB 2496 was the first step in breaking that trend and fighting to bring new jobs to our state.

Unfortunately, both AB 718 and AB 2496 were killed in committee by the majority party. Though it is an uphill battle to push for a better business climate in this state, I will continue to make strides and not be discouraged.

This session, I was reappointed to serve as the vice chair of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. This position has allowed me to directly address the critical issues facing Californian’s safety. Last session, I authored and passed several bills to protect California’s streets and neighborhoods. One of these measures prohibits alimony payments to former spouses who abused their children during the relationship. This legislation was inspired by a news report highlighting an incident which transpired in Corona.

A Corona resident’s then-husband sexually abused her daughter and as a result of the divorce, was forced to pay him alimony. This legislation changed the law to protect victims and prevent this situation from happening again in the future.

In response to Governor Brown’s

prison realignment, which has threatened the safety of Riverside County and other communities throughout California by releasing dangerous criminals from prison in order to reduce overcrowding, I authored Assembly Bill 579. This bill ensures there is no lag time between early release and post-release community supervision. My bill closed a loophole that allowed early-release criminals to roam our communities completely unsupervised.

Despite being in the super-minority last year, I was able to get seven bills signed into law – four of which were suggested by constituents. As I look forward to the two years ahead, I remain committed to fighting for the people of Southwest Riverside County in Sacramento. Additionally, I welcome all of the challenges I will undoubtedly face in my role as the vice chair of the Assembly Committee on Budget and as the vice chair of the Assembly Committee on Public Safety. Please do not hesitate to contact my office if there are any questions about my legislation or any other state related issue. Again, it is an honor to continue to serve my community in the State Assembly.

Melendez can be contacted at her Murrieta office by calling (951) 8941232 or visiting her website at www. ad67.assemblygop.com.

Sound policies and procedures must be decided prior to use of body worn cameras

Carolyn Boden, Temecula resident, (center) with children (left to right) Brandon Boden, 19, Kaylee Boden, 10, Noelle Boden, 12, and Autumn Boden, 16.

“Valentine’s Day is my 21st wedding anniversary to my husband Scott.

So, we’re going to have heart-shaped pizza and a little party with just the family.”

It’s time to stop slaughtering elephants Marie Waldron Assemblymember 75th District As many of you know, the slaughter of elephants in Africa is continuing. An estimated 96 elephants are killed each day for their ivory. In addition, the world’s rhinoceros population has been decimated by poachers who hunt them only for their horns. As a result, one of the world’s oldest and most unusual animals may now face extinction in the wild.

Almost 40 years ago, California enacted legislation to ban the sale of ivory products imported after June 1, 1977. Nevertheless, an illicit ivory trade has continued to flourish in our state.

New reports indicate that much of the ivory offered for sale by vendors in California violates state law, even though the items are often altered to look older or are advertised as antiques.

Consequently, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins has introduced AB

96, which will prohibit persons from importing, purchasing or selling elephant ivory or rhinoceros horns in California.

This bill will close the longstanding loophole in California law which has helped fuel the world ivory trade, brought some rhinoceros populations to the brink of extinction and resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of elephants.

AB 96 is supported by a number major wildlife conservation groups, including the Wildlife Conservation Society, California Zoo and Aquarium Association and the Humane Society of the United States.

I am pleased to join Speaker Atkins as a co-author of AB 96, which I hope will reverse the downward spiral in elephant and rhinoceros populations and forever ensure the survival of these magnificent animals.

Waldron is a Republican representing the 75th District, encompassing parts of Inland northern Riverside and San Diego counties.

A Riverside County Sheriff ’s Department spokesperson penned a press release published on Jan. 30.

The press release is linked to a lawsuit filed by the Riverside Sheriffs’ Association against the county and the department, in an effort to return to the status quo prior to the introduction of body worn camera devices.

RSA is not opposed to this new technology. RSA is concerned that BWC devices are, or will be deployed in the field without first negotiating and implementing policies, procedures, protocols, and training to guide and control the use of these devices and the storage, maintenance and accessibility of the films that are generated by deputies in the field while wearing and activating these devices.

The department emphasizes that at the present time it is not necessary to negotiate these changes in the terms and conditions of employment that accompany the introduction of these devices, for two principal reasons: the department is only in the testing phase of these devices; therefore no negotiations are necessary, and that at some future time, if the department decides to proceed with general deployment of the devices, it will then consider the need to negotiate over the changing effects of the devices on deputies’ jobs; and currently, the use of the cameras is completely voluntary.

Additionally, the department mentioned that each station has its own policy and procedure for BWCs. This gives RSA great concern for

both RSA members and the county as a whole, considering the broad ramifications that using such devices can have without fully developed department-wide policies and procedures.

The problem with this line of thinking is that the “testing” of the devices and the voluntariness of their use are both irrelevant when considering the lack of policies, protocols, procedures and training that must be developed before these devices are introduced into the field. If the devices are being employed in the field to film and audio-record enforcement contacts with the public, and in the investigation and evidence – gathering contexts, the audio and visual recordings are plainly evidence. And, these need to be processed like any other piece of evidence seized in the field.

Two examples will suffice to illustrate the lack of forethought in deploying these cameras without negotiating the effects and consequences of the deployment and without appropriate training and written policies and directives regarding how they are to be employed in the field.

This situation puts RSA members at risk if they choose to don the devices and use them in the field.

First, assume that deputies wearing the devices respond to a radio call of domestic violence occurring within the residence. The female caller claims that she has been assaulted by her boyfriend. The home belongs to the boyfriend and not to the female caller. Upon arrival, the deputies hear sounds of breaking and crashing furniture. The male homeowner allows the deputies in, but when he sees the cameras he forcefully yells, “Do not film me!” What is the deputy to do?

Second, before going out into the field, a deputy voluntarily dons a camera owned by the department.

During his shift, he becomes engaged in a shooting incident. There are no witnesses to the shooting except the person who was shot. Investigators immediately take and secure the camera as evidence. The deputy wants to review the film before he writes a report or makes a statement. Will the deputy be permitted to do so? There is no clear answer to this question except that it will likely depend on the particular policies that are employed in the station within the department where the deputy works.

Operating without policies, procedures and training is like sailing a ship without a rudder. The likelihood that a deputy donning a camera will be faced with one of these situations is too great to permit these and similar situations to occur without firm policies and training implemented before they happen.

Without properly developed and negotiated policies and procedures in place, the county could be exposed to great civil liability. The citizens of Riverside County could be at risk of losing millions of dollars if there is a failure to properly use and manage BWCs through sound policies and procedures.

In summary, RSA supports the implementation and deployment of new technological developments for its members. However, the department needs to honor its position as a party to the Memorandum of Understanding, particularly those that have to do with the duty to bargain in good faith for the benefit of the department, the public and RSA members alike.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with the Wine and Dine Chef’s Table Dinner Experience - Available through February 18

ust beyond the roundabout off Rancho California Road, South Coast Winery beckons like a Disneyland for grownups.

With its private villas, tower hotel, personal day spa and Vineyard Rose restaurant, this destination is the ideal stay and play winery.

The restaurant offers a sit down, quiet and SoCal casual atmosphere midweek with an extensive, reasonably priced luncheon menu.

With seating both indoors and outdoors, the restaurant offers impeccable service and full access to wines that Temecula residents favor.

Reservations are not necessary midweek, unless you have a preferred seating location in mind, but you must call ahead for your table on weekends. With a recently updated décor, the private dining room can accommodate groups up to 40 when planned in advance.

The restaurant is superb for a romantic wine country lunch. Servers will accommodate sharing plates with ease, upon request. Executive Chef Mike Terry did not disappoint

Warm, yeasty dinner rolls served with signature herbed butter are delivered promptly to your table upon seating.

Warm turkey sandwich with sweet potato fries is Thanksgiving on a bun with sweet, savory flavors.

with either presentation, food-totable times or tastes that will make you want to come back.

Midweek on a cool February day, the hostess offered us a booth table with sweeping views of the vineyards and blooming geraniums that hang from the restaurant’s cloistered patios.

Definitely a location not to rush through, order a glass of something special for any palate.

The extensive wine menu includes the Celebrity Wines of Erik Turner, Rock Star Red, Punk Rock Red and

Epic Day Chardonnay.

With jazzy background music and humming conversation, diners are first offered fresh, yeasty rolls and herbed butter that melts into the hot out of the oven delicacies.

We selected the famed Vineyard Rose salad and two sandwiches to share from the vast menu.

Upon request, the salad was split into generous portions of baby greens, cucumbers, candied

pecans, julienned tomatoes, grapes, dried sweet cranberries and farmstead creamy goat cheese. This alone would have been a meal in itself, when chicken, salmon or shrimp skewers are added.

Instead, our well-portioned sandwiches arrived; a French beef dip and warm turkey sandwich.

Plated beautifully, the French beef dip with au jus was sliced thick.

It had succulent beef topped with melted Swiss cheese, caramelized onions and the chef’s signature garlic spread. Plated high, the dip sandwich is accompanied with a hearty helping of house made, roasted garlic and herb chips.

The warm turkey sandwich won the day at our table. It tasted like Thanksgiving in a bite and was

Piles of melt-in-your-mouth herb roasted turkey, shaved thin enough to see through, with cranberry chutney, mayo, crisp arugula and melting Port salut cheese. This well balanced sweet and savory dish is one I’ll return to savor paired with sweet potato fries.

Visitors to the restaurant will leave full and happy, probably with leftovers in tow. If you’re 55 or over, don’t forget to ask for the Vintage Vantage special lunch menu items offered Monday through Thursday.

If you want to avoid the Valentine’s Day rush, opt for the Wine and Dine Chef’s Table Dinner Experience. It’s pared down from the traditional Wine and Dine five-course customized menu and is a romantic threecourse meal that includes choice of salad, entrée and dessert for just $99 per couple (tax and gratuity not included at this price). This romance special runs through Feb. 18 so call ahead for reservations before it’s over.

Chaparral High School presents spring production of ‘9 to 5, the Musical’

Starring in the CHS show “9 to 5, the Musical” are left to right Amanda Dienhart, Sidney Aptaker and Lexi Gunn.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer The award-winning Chaparral High School Drama Department announced that its spring production will be “9 to 5, the Musical.” Opening night is Thursday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. with additional performances on Feb. 20, Feb. 26 and Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. Matinees will be on Saturdays, Feb. 21 and Feb. 28 at 2 p.m. All performances will be held in the school’s Performing Arts Center.

Fifty students are involved in the production, with 33 cast members and 17 stage crew. The students have been rehearsing for the production since Dec. 1.

According to Chris Irvin, CHS’s

drama teacher and director, this will be a colorful and high-energy show that will delight audiences.

“I’ve had a ball directing these extremely talented performers and designing the look of the production. I loved being a kid in the 1970s, and having the chance to revisit that era has been a blast,” Irvin said.

“9 to 5, the Musical” is based on the 1980 hit movie by the same name. Music and lyrics are

by Dolly Parton and the book is

by Patricia Resnick. Set in 1979, the hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought provoking, and even a little romantic.

The plot involves three female co-workers who, when pushed to the boiling point, concoct a plan to get even with their sexist,

egotistical, hypocritical boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy, and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy to give their boss the boot. While he’s away, the women take control of the company, giving their workplace a dream makeover.

Featuring a cast of 33 singers and dancers, the musical stars Amanda Dienhart as Violet; Lexi Gunn as Judy; Sidney Aptaker as Doralee; and features Rafael Loza as Franklin Hart; Shannon McMahon as Roz; and Joseph Lindsley as Joe. “Our production is not as racy as

the original film or the Broadway production of ‘9 to 5’ and is appropriate for a wide age range.

With the color, and fun, there is also a poignant message to the story,” Irvin said. “The original film touched on the struggle of women in the workforce and their achievements of success in an era of male-driven industries. This show helps us look back to see how far we’ve come as a society and where we are heading.”

General admission tickets are $12 each. All students, military personnel, and seniors over 55 are admitted for $10. Tickets

can be purchased at the CHS Bookkeeping Office during regular school hours or at the door prior to each performance.

Future shows by the Chaparral theater troupe include the senior directed “Black Comedy” in May 2015 and 2016 musical performance of “The Addam’s Family.”

CHS is located at the corner of Winchester and Nicolas roads, 27215 Nicolas Rd., in Temecula.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens How to garden safely in regards to pets and young children

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Special to the Valley News Hello Fellow Gardeners! Per a reader’s request, I am going to address the issue of safe gardening in homes where either young children and/or pets reside. Since both young children and pets usually have little to no idea what might be poisonous if ingested, it’s always a priority as far as I’m concerned to just not have those type of plants in the garden.

There are also quite a few houseplants that can be poisonous to animals as well, but I don’t have the space here to cover everything so I’m focusing on outdoor landscapes

see LANDSCAPING, page B-6

Sago Palms are also poisonous.

New Wildomar store Hope’s Chest supports local women in many ways Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Wildomar business owner Hope Suhr recently celebrated the grand opening of her intimate apparel shop Hope’s Chest on Jan. 27. More than 100 people attended the meet and greet party.

“We had a fashion show, showcased our retro-swimwear, the Italian line of clothing, and people loved it,” Suhr said.

The shop is eclectic by design, thanks to the ingenuity of Suhr’s husband, who fully supports her efforts with Hope’s Chest.

“All of our décor is purposefully repurposed,” Suhr said. “We’ve collected chairs, doors, unique odds and ends for the shop for over a year.

This is the result of much planning and it’s truly a joy to see it come to pass.”

Local business woman, public speaker and inspiration behind the Women’s Business Resource Connection, Suhr said she has a heart for helping others, especially women recovering from mastectomy Loma Linda University Medical Center was also represented at the grand opening celebration, as were the representatives from Virage Breast Forms.

“We showcased the Virage 3-D breast form, and showed people what we do to manufacture the breast form for women who’ve undergone mastectomy and either haven’t undergone reconstruction, or don’t want to,” Suhr said.

The prosthetic forms, covered by insurance in many cases, utilize a laser scanning and 3-D CAD/ CAM technology to create the most life-like look and feel, according to the Virage website, and now, this technology is now available at Hope’s Chest.

Hope’s Chest offers lingerie, swim wear and other accessories for women of all sizes.

“I’m thrilled to be able to offer this worthwhile service to women looking to feel like themselves again,” Suhr said.

According to Suhr, a large percentage of women are wearing the wrong sized bra, and it is her mission to see the woman properly fitted. She recommends appointments for fittings for all of her clients.

“We assist women of all sizes with proper bra fittings. It’s amazing how many women are wearing the wrong sized bra. It can truly change your life,” Suhr said. “I coined the name ‘Chest-ologist,’ as that is what I do. I help women understand the proper way to wear a bra, as well as how to find the right fit that really can change your life, both mentally and physically.”

Though she assists women of all shapes and sizes, the well endowed are often drawn to this unique shop.

“Most recently, I resized a client who ended up wearing a 34-K, very well endowed,” Surh said. “She was having issues related to not having proper support. Now, properly sized, she can stand taller, take tension off back and neck, and her performance at work will improve dramatically.”

According to Suhr, the proper fitting bra also transformed the young hairstylists’ look, giving her back her figure.

“She looked and felt sexy again, almost like she got her youth back immediately,” Suhr said, adding that such stories keep her motivated to help the women who walk through

her doors. “(It’s) not just helping people find the right bra, but now, the right bathing suit for their body type as well,” Suhr said. “With the new store, we have everything from intimates to apparel, to gifts and jewelry. It’s exciting to see it all come together.”

Even with her business opening and busy schedule, Suhr plans to continue with her regional women in business group, Women’s Business Resource Connection, a not for profit organization that meets the second Wednesday of each month for lunch at Summerly’s golf course

in Lake Elsinore at 11:15 a.m.

“Women in business need to help each other out and share our knowledge of how to get by and succeed in the business world.” Suhr said.

Follow Hope’s Chest on Facebook for information regarding the March 14 bathing suit fashion show and April fashion show for bodacious, voluptuous women. RSVP for both.

Hope’s Chest is located at 36068 Hidden Springs Rd. in Wildomar.

CoHive is new hub for IT SCT&E names new telecom sales companies and software manager TEMECULA - Southern Califor- AAT was an award-winning sales pany, offering voice, data, Wi-Fi, startups in Murrieta nia Telephone & Energy announces company specializing in the com- Internet telephony services, cable MURRIETA - Novohit, an Italian-Chilean software company, recently established its headquarters in Murrieta seeking to capitalize on the city’s strategic location and talent in human resources to add value to their products and support the markets they serve.

As a part of their positioning strategy, Novohit created The CoHive, a 1,800 square foot co-working space exclusively for the IT and software community in the heart of Murrieta. It has 13 assignable desks, high speed Wi-Fi access and an eight-person conference room. The facility also has private offices and dedicated Internet access for bigger startups that need their own space.

“I’m impressed to see everything the city is doing to embrace techoriented businesses and the path taken by local entrepreneur groups and influencers. The concerted effort from the city reassures us and furthers our decision to locate our headquarters here and it’s important

to share it,” said David Bertolini, VP Operations for Novohit and launcher of the CoHive project.

“Establishing in a relatively small city may appear outside of the ordinary, considering our regional offices are in major cities in Italy, Mexico or Chile. However, this city just has it.”

“We understand the need to contribute to this area’s growth in terms of tech and retaining local talent, and a way we can do this is by providing low-cost high quality office facilities for small tech/software companies or programmers acting as an incubator,” Bertolini said.

By providing office spaces exclusively to the IT community, the CoHive project is targeting several objectives: allow software startups / small businesses to have a professional working environment at a low cost, avoid commuting, fostering networking and increasing visibility of independent developers, designers, coders and their products.

Bill Borger as the Temecula company’s new telecom sales manager.

Borger will lead the SCT&E team in the development of a businessto-business package offering arguably the best combination of service and hardware ever to be available within the Southern California region.

“We are very pleased to have Bill join our team. His knowledge and integrity in supporting business phone systems fit perfectly within the mission of our company since its founding over 20 years ago by Greg and Kristine Michaels,” said Bill Short, COO of SCT&E. “Bill has such a well storied background of ‘boutique style customer service’ which is what SCT&E uniquely delivers in the world of telephone services.”

Borger has over 22 years of experience in the design and implementation of business phone systems, most recently as the founder and owner of Above All Telecom.

plete project management of audio, visual, telecom, security, and video for small to medium size businesses up to large, municipal rollouts.

They had offices in Chicago and Menifee.

Prior to AAT, Borger worked in the industry as a sales executive representing brands such as Toshiba, Inter-Tel, Samsung, Comdial, Phone Suites and ESI. He brings the latter two relationships with him to SCT&E, which will aid in establishing the company as the go-to business and hospitality telecom provider in the Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties.

“I believe that we will establish our hardware foothold in the same manner that SCT&E established its services foothold,” Borger said.

“I am excited at the prospect of growing my passion for providing telecom hardware with the power of a successful telephone company behind me.”

About SCT&E Southern California Telephone Company, dba SCT&E, is a spinoff of Wholesale Airtime, Inc. established in 1994 by founder and CEO Greg Michaels. In simple terms, SCT&E is a vertically integrated telephone and energy com-

and legacy telephone services. The company also provides renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions, thus blending the world of utility mediums.

Subsequent to the 1996 deregulation of the telecom industry in the U.S., SCT&E took advantage of the opportunity to become a privately held, facility-based competitive local exchange carrier and public utility. SCT&E built, owns and operates one of the largest privately-held, fixed wireless, or Wi-Max, networks in California.

The company has multiple locations, with its corporate office located in Temecula. SCT&E owns and operates a redundant telecommunications network with facilities on both coasts of the U.S. SCT&E is a California Electric Service Provider and has a U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Authority allowing the company to buy and sell energy nationwide in both the wholesale and retail markets. Additionally, SCT&E is involved in international energy generation and oil and gas projects.

March 6 is deadline to apply for SBA disaster loans for last May’s wildfires SACRAMENTO, CA- Director Ruben Garcia of the U.S. Small Business Administration’s San Diego District Office recently reminded small businesses of the March 6, deadline to apply for an SBA federal disaster loan for economic injury caused by the San Diego County wildfires that occurred last May 13 to 17.

According to Garcia, small nonfarm businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations of any size may apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans of up to $2 million to help meet working capital needs caused by the disaster.

“EIDLs may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable and other bills that cannot be paid because of the disaster’s impact. EIDL assistance is available regardless of whether the applicant suffered any property damage,” Garcia said.

These low-interest federal disaster loans are available in Imperial, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties.

The interest rate is 4 percent for businesses and 2.625 percent for private nonprofit organizations with terms up to 30 years. Loan amounts and terms are set by SBA and are based on each applicant’s financial condition.

Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application via SBA’s secure website at www.disasterloan.sba.gov/ela.

For owners of these impacted small businesses, disaster loan information and application forms are also available from SBA’s Customer Service Center by calling toll-free at (800) 659-2955 or emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Individuals who are deaf or hard‑of‑hearing may call (800) 877‑8339. For more information about SBA’s disaster assistance programs, visit www. sba.gov/disaster.

Education

Temecula resident inducted into American Hebrew Academy’s Honor Society GREENSBORO, NC - The American Hebrew Academy is proud to announce that Eva Grossman of Temecula has been accepted into the esteemed American Hebrew Academy Honor Society.

The Academy, An International Jewish college-prep boarding school, recently extended invitations to a select number of students worldwide for admittance into its exclusive organization.

Now in its sixth year, the American Hebrew Academy Honor Society is an international honor society that acknowledges exceptional 8th and 9th grade students, like

Grossman, who have demonstrated excellence in academics, athletics, the arts, leadership and service to their communities.

The Honor Society is modeled after the National Honor Society, receiving recommendations, applicant questionnaires and transcripts in an effort to identify the most outstanding young Jewish students in the US and beyond.

“Eva is an exceptional leader and student with a strong connection to community service in her community,” a press release issued by the Academy states. “At Vail Ranch Middle School, Eva

has been a longtime leader of the National Charity League, and also an athlete on the cross country team and running club. Eva has been recognized for her academic achievements and integrity by being a member of both the California Junior Scholarship Federation and the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth.”

According to the press release, she greatly enjoys spending time within her Jewish community where she is a madricha at Mosad Shalom Religious School of Temple Adat Shalom and a camper at Camp Ramah in California.

Eva will receive an impressive award certificate designed by world renowned artist, Mordecai Rosenstein. Along with the other Honor Society inductees, she has the opportunity to compete for substantial annual merit-based scholarships to attend the American Hebrew Academy. Students nominated and accepted into the American Hebrew Academy Honor Society are not required to attend the Academy.

“To be named a member of the American Hebrew Academy Honor Society is a great achievement,” says Mark Spielman, Director of

the Honor Society. “We look forward to meeting each of the honorees and following their successes as they make great contributions to our society.” Academy Executive Director, Glenn Drew added, “The Academy is an exceptional institution with an outstanding faculty and student body. Identifying stellar students follows our mission of mentoring the Jewish leaders of tomorrow.”

Solar company launches program that allows homeowners to receive $2,000 RIVERSIDE - Sullivan Solar Power, a leading Southern California renewable energy company, recently announced the launch of the Riverside County Solar Program.

The incentive program allows for property owners in all 28 cities to go solar for no money out of pocket and receive cash-back incentives up to $2,000.

“Riverside County is an ideal location to harness the free energy that falls from the sky each day,” said Daniel Sullivan, founder and president of Sullivan Solar Power.

“This rebate program has been created to spur the growth of renewable energy throughout the region and to reward property owners that declare energy independence.”

The incentive offering will run throughout 2015 and is limited to 100 participants. The Riverside

County Solar Program is set up in a manner that provides early adopters the greatest rebate amounts.

Participants who sign up first will receive the largest incentives, and the amount of the payments will continue to drop as more capacity is committed.

The program is structured into three phases, and as milestones are reached, incentive amounts will drop by tiered amounts. With the program incentives currently in Phase I, the typical resident who signs up will receive a payment of $2,000.

“With the Riverside County Solar Program, homeowners can go solar without spending any money upfront and receive a $2,000 check for doing so,” Sullivan said. “How is that for a stimulus plan?”

A series of free informational

luncheons will be taking place throughout the county to cover solar technology, rebates and incentives and details of the program.

The first seminar will be on Saturday, March 28 in the city of Temecula’s Harveston Center.

For additional information on the program, call (800) SULLIVAN or visit www.riversidecountysolarprogram.org.

Sullivan Solar Power is a turnkey solar system provider that delivers solar electric projects from concept to completion. The company has installed over 27,000,000 watts of solar power ranging from smallscale residential to large-scale commercial and municipal systems.

It was founded in 2004 and has a longstanding A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, with no complaints filed since the busi-

ness began.

The firm has been named one of the fastest growing energy companies in the nation by Inc. Magazine and services all of Southern California. Regardless of project

size and scope, it is committed to delivering the best products and the most qualified professionals to its customers. Visit sullivansolarpower.com for more information.

LANDSCAPING from page B-1 only in this article. With over 700 plants that are poisonous, I can only highlight a few here, but you can check at library or online if you want a really complete listing of all of them.

Believe it or not, your pets usually have more “instincts” as far as plant eating goes than we usually give them credit for. That said, I would have to further state, my sister is a veterinarian, and typically dogs tend to ingest more things that they shouldn’t than cats do. Cats will typically eat grass, usually as a diet supplement, and also as “roughage” to help move “furballs”

Cats love to eat grass so make sure yours is toxin free.

Dogs also like to eat grass.

Oleanders are beautiful in any garden. They are easy to care for, but toxic.

The flowers of the castor bean plant are beautiful, but the entire plant is highly toxic.

Holly berries can be tempting to young children but are poisonous.

through their system, or, as mine does, gets back in the house and then throws the mess up! So, stating that, I would definitely make sure to never use toxic chemicals on your lawn.

Many people, come spring, are treating lawns with all kinds of chemicals to kill weeds, etc. If you have cats, don’t do it. Dogs may also eat grass, so for you as well I would recommend other organic means of lawn care and I will discuss those in an upcoming article.

There are lots of organic methods for both lawn care and general garden care available without resorting to toxic stuff.

In my opinion, small children should never be left alone outside, period. However, I’m aware that occasionally, especially in homes with several children, they may wander out while you’re busy doing something or otherwise occupied. I think it’s important to teach all of your children from a young age to never put anything in their mouth from outside. The exception to this rule would be those plants you grow for consumption – fruit or veggies – but you still might have a rule regarding that they have to be picked and washed first so they know not to pick anything off a shrub and put it in their mouth.

Older children can pass this along to their younger siblings and keep an eye on them if you can’t also.

Another item in a garden to be aware of is standing water. This applies to both pets and children, as they can drown easily in less water than you might think. Animals can usually get themselves out of a pond, etc., but small children and babies may not be able to so always have adequate covers, fencing and restrictions around any water in the landscape. Years ago, my sister, the vet, only about 12-years-old at the time, had a cat, she never knew this, but he drowned in our pool one night. The water was extremely low, he fell in apparently and couldn’t get out. I still don’t think she knows how Leo died all

these years later.

I got my daughter into gardening when she was quite small, probably about two years old. I bought her little gardening tools and she would work with me out in the yard. She never put anything in her mouth that grew out there as a result of this. When she was younger than that, she was in the playpen outside with me so she could watch me, and I her, but couldn’t get into “mischief.”

In addition to the information that to me is just common sense, I’d also like to make you aware of some of the more common poisonous plants that people may have in their gardens. Mind you, I have some of them, and two cats, and my cats show absolutely no interest whatsoever in eating them, but just an FYI for those who like to be extra cautious and may have young children and dogs as well.

Marijuana – Animals (young children as well) who attempt to snack on this plant can suffer serious consequences such as diarrhea, vomiting, increased heart rate, drooling, in-coordination, and even possibly seizures and coma.

Sago Palm - While the seeds and nuts of this plant are most poisonous, the entire plant is toxic.

Animals ingesting parts of this plant may suffer from diarrhea, vomiting, depression, seizures and liver failure.

Lilies - Plants of the lily variety are very poisonous to cats. Even very small amounts of this plant could cause serious kidney damage.

Tulips - The toxic portion of this plant is the actual bulb, which can cause drooling, central nervous system depression, gastrointestinal irritation, cardiac issues and convulsions.

Azalea - The toxins in azalea plants can be very severe and potentially cause drooling, diarrhea, vomiting, central nervous system weakening and depression and in some cases possibly coma or death.

Oleander - All portions of this plant are poisonous and can cause

gastrointestinal irritation, hypothermia, heart problems and possibly death.

Castor Bean - Poisoning as a result of this plant can cause abdominal pain, drooling, diarrhea, vomiting increased thirst, loss of appetite and weakness. More serious cases could also lead to dehydration, tremors, seizures, twitching muscles, coma and possibly death.

Cyclamen - The most poisonous portion of this plant is located in the root. Ingestion of the plant can cause severe vomiting and gastrointestinal irritation. In some cases death has been reported as a result.

Kalanchoe - Ingestion of this plant can cause gastrointestinal irritation and cardiac rhythm and rate problems.

Yew - Poisoning as a result of the yew plant can affect the nervous system and cause in-coordination, trembling and breathing difficulties. It may also result in gastrointestinal irritation, cardiac failure and could possibly lead to death.

Several other poisonous common plants that I see grown locally are: English Ivy, Carolina Jessamine, Caladiums, Bird of Paradise, Foxgloves, Canterbury Bells, Holly, Hyacinths, Iris, Lantana, Larkspur, Nicotiana, Nightshade (potatoes and tomatoes are in this family as well and their leaves are poisonous) Rhododendrons, of course most people know that Poinsettias are poisonous as well.

Cats love “catnip” of course, and that’s one plant I would recommend growing for kitty. Keep it in a pot and only give to your cats occasionally, otherwise they can build a “tolerance”, or as my cats did, they just destroyed the entire plant by rolling on it and crushing it!

That’s all the room I have for this week’s topic. I hope you learned something helpful and as always I’m available for consultations and design work by calling (951) 7644762 or through my website www. uniquelandscapes.net.

Real Estate / Home & Garden Move-up buyer strategies for double transactions

John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to the Valley News Today’s Temecula, Murrieta move-up/move-down buyers face many challenges in an ever evolving real estate market. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a larger home for your family with more yard space for the kids and dogs to play or are downsizing to a smaller home with less maintenance because the challenges are all the same, juggling two real estate transactions at once. Not an easy task for even the most diligent.

Since many of our Temecula and Murrieta neighbors once again have equity in their homes, many are planning on selling one home and buying another this spring, as the local real estate market continues to heat up.

The local Temecula/Murrieta market conditions can be both a blessing and a curse to the moveup buyer. While the thought of limited inventory to select a new home from is not something to look forward to, yet when selling your current home you’ll welcome the bidding war that buyers will generate for the right home in the right neighborhood.

The trick, of course, is in managing and even juggling simultaneous transactions – a task that can be both frenzied and daunting to even the most experienced homeowner.

In the worst case scenario not only can the dream home be lost, but the earnest money deposit as well.

While every seller/buyer is different and each has their own personal scenario, unique to them they still must answer the all-important universal question, “Can I afford to pay two mortgages at once if I buy before I sell? Or do I prepare to move twice, if I sell before I buy?”

Should I stay or go?

The biggest issue about buying before you sell of course, is financing. With the newest provision of the Dodd-Frank Act haven taken effect last year, even today lenders

will interpret differently the federal law aimed at protecting consumers while maintaining the integrity of federally insured mortgages. Now more than ever, it’s critical to speak with your lender and investigate how a “Qualified Mortgage: effects your personal situation.

Some move-up buyers will decide to NOT pay two mortgage payments and just go ahead and move in with friends or family or perhaps rent an apartment or other temporary housing giving them more time to find and buy their new home.

In a seller’s market like Temecula/Murrieta real estate is currently experiencing, most sellers will not accept an offer contingent on the buyer selling their current home.

However, a good realtor will have some creative options from their tool box of experience to make for a smoother move-up transaction.

There is more control on the selling side As a seller, you have two tools that can be used to make the process run smoother. First, when you list your home, have your agent report to the MLS that the sale of your home is contingent on you being able to find your new dream home. This will allow escrow to coordinate a dual simultaneous closing.

The other option, when an offer comes in on the sale of your home, a good realtor can negotiate a seller rent-back agreement. This allows the buyer to close escrow on your home and take title while allowing you to remain in the home until you can move into your new home.

It is fairly common to allow the seller to remain in possession of the property for up to three days after the close of escrow without any financial consideration. More than three days, a rent-back should be negotiated. While the amount of the rent is always negotiable it’s typical to consider the buyers payment and add in a pro-rated share of property taxes, home-owners insurance and HOA dues, if any.

A rent-back payment is intended to keep the buyer whole and not create a profit center. The buyer’s lender may allow up to 60 days of rent-back; anything more and the buyer’s lender may consider the loan to be for investment property, not allowing owner-occupied

HOMES from B-4 to a hardscape yard with planters along the back wall. The family room has a built-in entertainment center and gas fireplace. The master bedroom features double doors and upgraded carpet. The master bath has a separate tub and shower, dual vanities, two large walk-in closets, mirrored doors, and well- appointed built-in closet organizers.

financing. In today’s competitive seller’s market most buyers will be willing to cooperate allowing you to find your new home and close your own escrow if the home is priced right and in great condition.

Buying techniques As a move-up buyer with a house to sell a smart move is to limit your search to homes that have been on the market or 30 days or more. While this is not a long time in a normal market, the seller will no doubt be feeling anxious and probably more willing to negotiate a contingency allowing the buyer to sell their home. The object will be to convince the seller to believe they are better off accepting your contingent offer than waiting for another buyer to come along. It should go without saying that a full price offer should be made with few other contingencies and if you want a long escrow, perhaps sweeten the pot with a little extra purchase price. By having your financing locked in, removing a loan contingency is another strong move that can work in your favor.

A seller may accept your contingent offer with a kick-out clause that will enable them to keep their home on the market and if a better offer comes in, they can kick your contract with an appropriate notice, giving you the opportunity to move forward with your contract.

As the buyer, having more flexibility in location may work for you as well. While certain local neighborhoods turn homes quicker than others, there really are NO bad Temecula – Murrieta neighborhoods. Allowing for some flexibility in location and even features can prove advantageous – without settling of course.

The devil is in the details The most important thing a move-up buyer can do is be prepared on every level. As we discussed above, having your financing in place is critical.

Make sure that the home you’re selling is in the best possible condition, staged to appeal to the widest audience and priced for a quick sale.

The final consideration every move-up buyer needs to focus on is a back-up plan. Always keep in mind the infamous Murphy’s Rule, “If anything can go wrong,

it will.” Sometimes Plan B turns out to be the best plan, especially if it works out.

Local Gymnast overcomes injury, featured in Gatorades ‘Win from Within’ Television series JP Raineri Sports / Multimedia Editor A local gymnast, who suffered a career-ending spine injury at the age of ten, has defied the odds set against her and recently revealed to the nation how she managed to make an unlikely return as one of the sport’s top-ranked athletes.

Annie Hilton, 14, from Temecula, who burst into the public spotlight after starring in Gatorade’s new “Win From Within”’ campaign, was working towards earning a place on the U.S. women’s national gymnastics team when a minor mistake during a floor routine left her with a fractured neck.

“Annie took off wrong and landed on top of her head,” Southern California Elite Gymnastics Academy coach Kathy Strate explains in the Gatorade video. “It turned out to be an injury that just needed time to heal; it wasn’t in any way a

career-ending or serious injury. But as her neck was healing, she noticed that her back was hurting.”

While examining the injury, doctors discovered that Annie had an underlying condition, dyslastic spondylolisthesis, a congenital spine disorder which prevented her vertebrae from fusing together, which would require invasive surgery and months of bed rest. “‘Most kids who take a year or more off do not make a comeback in a sport like this. Gymnastics was supposed to be over for her,” added Strate.

“My dream was to compete at World’s and to be on the national team for gymnastics,” Hilton said.

“When they told me I would have to take a year off, I was devastated.”

During the first few months of her recovery, Hilton was incredibly frustrated and angry at how helpless she felt.

Her father Dan admits that watching his daughter struggle with

just the simplest of tasks was heartbreaking for Hilton’s family - but to witness her passion slowly start to return as her recovery quickened gave them all the determination and motivation they needed to help her possibly return to her beloved sport.

After 13 months of recovery, Hilton was finally given the all-clear by doctors and told that she could start to try other forms of physical activity, beyond walking.

Given that gymnastics is a sport where age is incredibly critical, it had appeared that her gymnastics career was indeed finished, but not in Hilton’s eyes.

Within a year of recovery, Hilton was competing and winning at national competitions once again as her incredible perseverance, determination and unwavering selfbelief paid off.

Her story was recently featured in Gatorade’s five-part digital video series, “Win From Within,” which focuses on young athletes who have used sport to overcome adversity.

Hilton’s focus allowed her to surpass the level she competed at prior to surgery, winning several competitions and after a recent visit with Olympic Gold Medalist McKayla Maroney, who surprised the aspiring gymnast on Thursday, Jan 22 during a workout at SCEGA. Maroney stopped by the gym, and shared advice with Hilton on how to pursue the sport they both love.

Hilton says her next goal is now to a earn a college gymnastics scholarship.

the crash, she lost her ability to move her body and breathe on her own, and was left a quadriplegic and ventilator dependent. Tragically, Diaz’s mother died in the collision, leaving behind her father to raise both her and her sister.

Since 1996, Diaz’s father Ben Diaz has been both mother and father to Diaz, meeting her daily needs while struggling to work and raise his family.

With the help of extended family including grandparents, she survived.

In and out of hospitals, Diaz overcame various illnesses, always attributing her strength to knowing that her father needed her as much as she needed him.

As she grew, the care and special needs of this young woman have grown as well. Diaz has met her challenges with cheerfulness and perseverance.

She graduated from Colton High School in 2009 alongside non-disabled peers, and is working to become a web designer.

Her goal to live as normal of a life

as possible continues to challenge this family, due to the overwhelming special needs of a quadriplegic. She has learned to control a computer through a secondhand computer and “blow” technology software.

But her transportation is unreliable and she requires specially equipped van modifications for her to be able to join her family on any outings or excursions outside of her home.

These limitations are especially frustrating to Diaz as she tries to continue her education.

In March of 2014, a similar need was presented to group of community leaders, who came together committed to help Frank ‘The Tank’ Boschma, a man who suffers from X-linked SMA, Arthrogryposis or SMA type 2, improve his quality of life by raising funds to provide him a TRACK mobility chair.

This act of unselfish concern changed the way Frank was able to interact with the world around him and has given

As a means of paying it forward, Frank, with the same core of community leaders, will host an encore Frank ‘The Tank’ Golf Tournament to raise funds that will be used to assist Diaz, by providing her funding for the specially equipped transportation she needs.

Jeff Kurtz, General Manager of Promenade Temecula and Paradise Chevrolet Cadillac of Temecula, along with Boy Scout Troop 90 will be among those community leaders that will be the backbone of the event, which will be held at Pala Mesa Golf Course on Saturday, Feb. 28, beginning at 12:30 p.m.

“It is my honor to help Frank Boschma and Boy Scout Troop 90 plan this golf tournament,” said Kurtz. “Our day of play will raise funds to purchase a reliable, specially equipped van that will allow Marlayna to continue to make the most of her life, despite her

physical limitations.

“Marlayna is an inspiration to me,” he said. “Seeing her cheerfulness and optimism reminds me that despite the roadblocks put in front of us, there are people surrounding all of us that will lend a hand to lift you over life’s barriers. ” The Frank ‘The Tank’ Golf Tournament is now open for registration to anyone who would like to join Kurtz, Boschma and Troop 90 in their efforts to help Diaz.

At a cost of $100 per person or $400 per foursome, participants will enjoy a day of golf at the beautiful Pala Mesa Golf Club while helping an amazing young woman build a better, more meaningful life for herself.

Health

Common myths about heart disease from fiction so that together, we can stop this killer once and for all.

Myth: Heart disease is for men, and cancer is the real threat for women Fact: Heart disease is a killer that strikes more women than men, and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined. While one in 31 American women dies from breast cancer each year, heart disease claims the lives of one in three. That’s roughly one death each minute.

Go for the Red Women Editors Special to the Valley News “It’s a man’s disease.” “But I’m too young.” “Breast cancer is the real threat.” If you’ve heard or said any of this before, you’re

not alone.

The real fact is, relying on these false assumptions can cost you your life. It’s time to set the record straight and start thinking of this as a disease that doesn’t spare woman and children. Your health is nonnegotiable; we need to separate fact

Myth: Heart disease is for old people Fact: Heart disease affects women of all ages. For younger women, the combination of birth control pills and smoking boosts heart disease risks by 20 percent.

And while the risks do increase with age, things like overeating and a sedentary lifestyle can cause plaque to accumulate and lead to clogged arteries later in life. But even if you lead a completely

healthy lifestyle, being born with an underlying heart condition can be a risk factor.

Myth: Heart disease doesn’t affect women who are fit Fact: Even if you’re a yogaloving, marathon-running workout fiend, your risk for heart disease isn’t completely eliminated. Factors like cholesterol, eating habits and smoking can counterbalance your other healthy habits. You can be thin and have high cholesterol.

The American Heart Association recommends you start getting your cholesterol checked at age 20, or earlier, if your family has a history of heart disease. And while you’re at it, be sure to keep an eye on your blood pressure at your next check-up.

toms vary greatly between men and women, they’re often misunderstood. Media has conditioned us to believe that the telltale sign of a heart attack is extreme chest pain. But in reality, women are somewhat more likely to experience shortness of breath, nausea/ vomiting and back or jaw pain.

Other symptoms women should look out for are dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting, pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen and extreme fatigue.

Myth: I don’t have any symptoms Fact: Sixty-four percent of women who die suddenly of coronary heart disease had no previous symptoms. Because these symp-

Myth: Heart disease runs in my family, so there’s nothing I can do about it Fact: Although women with a family history of heart disease are at higher risk, there’s plenty you can do to dramatically reduce it.

Simply create an action plan to follow the AHA’s seven simple steps: Don’t smoke, manage your blood sugar, get your blood pressure under control, lower your cholesterol, stay active, lose weight and eat healthy.

Relieve stress Any form of exercise can help to relieve stress, but according to the 2009 study “Psychological Aspects of Resistance Training,” those who regularly strength train tend to manage stress better and experience fewer adverse reactions to stressful situations than those who do not exercise.

power and provide a long-term energy boost. Working out in the morning can be an especially effective way to maintain high energy levels throughout the day. Women should not shy away from lifting weights. In addition to creating a trimmer, healthier body, resistance training offers many other health benefits.

Women can benefit from weightlifting TEMECULA - Many women steer clear of the free-weight areas inside their gyms, opting instead for treadmills and other cardio machines. Some women may not know how to use weights correctly, while others simply don’t want to add any bulk to their frames. But research shows that women who adhere to moderate strength-training programs two to three times per week can benefit in a variety of ways.

Burn more calories Many people exercise to burn calories and shed fat, and weight training is an efficient way for women to do just that. Resistance training is a great way to burn calories, as after a heavy weighttraining session, the body continues to use oxygen, which increases a person’s basal metabolic rate. In addition, as you increase lean muscle mass, your body burns even more

calories as its muscles contract and it works to repair and build new muscle.

Reverse metabolic decline Lifting weights can help reverse the natural slowing down of metabolism that begins in middle age.

Keeping your body working out and your metabolism elevated for as long as possible can help keep you in top shape.

Build stronger bones Lifting weights does more than just build muscle. Weightlifting also builds bone density. After menopause, women may lose up to 20 percent of their bone mass, and the United States Surgeon General estimates that, by 2020, half of all Americans could have weak bones due to bone loss. Women can look to weightlifting to help increase bone density and reduce their risk of fracture and osteoporosis.

Reduce risk for heart disease Cardiovascular disease claims the lives of 5.6 million women worldwide each year. Women are more likely to get heart disease than cancer. A study in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning found

that women who lift weights are less likely to develop heart disease risk factors, such as large waist circumference, high triglycerides, hypertension, and elevated glucose levels. The American Heart Association lists weight training as a healthy form of exercise for those at risk for heart disease.

Combat back pain We i g h t t r a i n i n g c a n h e l p strengthen the core muscles of the abdomen and back, which may help alleviate lower back pain. It’s important to use proper form when lifting weights to avoid exacerbating existing back pain or developing new injuries.

Boost mood and combat depression Lifting weights is not just good for the body; it’s also good for the mind. Women who strength train regularly can improve their feelings of well-being and may be able to reduce episodes of depression. A study from researchers at Harvard University found that 10 weeks of strength training was effective at reducing symptoms of clinical depression.

Increase energy levels Lifting weights can boost mind

TEMECULA- February is National Heart Month and Temecula Valley Hospital is celebrating by holding its 2nd annual Women’s Heart Health Awareness Fair.

Scheduled for Feb. 25, the fair will be held at the city of Temecula’s Conference Center from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The first part of the event will feature an inspiring story from heart attack survivor Kathleen Baird to encourage and educate the audience about taking charge of their heart health. Following will be a special discussion

by Dr. Mimi Biswas, Dr. Steven Howe and Dr. Aimee Warren on heart disease and women. The speakers will also participate in a panel discussion to provide an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.

In addition to the speakers, the event features health education and screening booths and a free healthy lunch. The American Heart Association will have a “Heart Health Promise Board” photo opportunity.

Several cardiology and medical groups will be represented to offer screenings that include EKGs, echocardiograms, blood pressure, glucose, lipid panel and bone density checks. Important information on knowing your numbers, nutrition education, heart healthy recipes and smoking cessation support will be provided.

The event is free. Reservations can be made by calling (855) 8595203.

This event is an important forerunner to the 2015 Southwest Riverside County Heart & Stroke Walk scheduled for May 9 at Lake

Skinner. TVH would like to encourage all residents in the Valley to join the walk. TVH stresses the need for exercise as a critical component in heart healthiness. A daily regime of walking and good nutrition can forestall many potential heart problems.

TVH is located at 31700 Temecula Pkwy. and brings advanced

technology, innovative programs, patient-centered and family sensitive care to area residents. As the region’s newest acute care facility, the hospital features 140 private patient rooms, 24-hour a day emergency care, advanced cardiac and stroke care, orthopedics and general medical care and surgical specialties.

Students to take California Healthy Kids Survey for the TVUSD TEMECULA - Students in the 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th grades will be given the opportunity in February to take part in a valuable survey for the Temecula Valley Unified School District. The California Healthy Kids Survey takes place every two years and provides vital information regarding student attitudes towards drug alcohol and tobacco use. The survey also asks questions about bullying and violence, student perception of campus

safety, school and community connectedness and other important issues facing our community’s youth.

Students in the 5th grade must have their parent’s permission to take the survey. Students in the 7th, 9th and 11th grades will take the survey unless their parents return a consent letter requesting that they opt out. Letters for survey participation will go home early in February. A student’s participation is voluntary and all responses are

anonymous. To view the survey, go to the district’s website at www. tvusd.k12.ca.us and select the California Healthy Kids Survey link under Announcements.

Results of this survey will be available in the spring. These results are used to improve programs and identify student health and safety needs. Results specific to schools are available at the school by contacting the principal.
