Jazzy Ash & the Leaping Lizards perform at the Murrieta Public Library in celebration of Mardi Gras on Wednesday, Feb. 11.

Laura Rathbun Writer Parents and kids went on an imaginative musical journey to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras with the band Jazzy Ash & the Leaping Lizards at the Mur-

rieta Public Library on Wednesday, Feb. 11. Children ranging in age from toddlers to teens, shook maracas, danced and had lots of fun during the hour-long afterschool program sponsored by the Friends of the Murrieta Public Library. Their parents had fun, too.

About 40 people attended the high-energy show led by vocalist Jazzy Ash, known as Ashli Christoval off stage. She’s a songwriter and music educator who performs nationally with her band. She grew up influenced by the music from her mother’s hometown of New Orleans as well as by her father’s

Paws for the Cure helps raise funds for fight against cancer Kim Harris Managing Editor Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Executive Director Katie Parker understands how a dog can help those who are going through a difficult time in their life. It was because of that understanding that the Susan G. Komen Inland Empire Paws for the Cure became a reality. “I have been a dog lover my entire life and really don’t remember ever a time that we have not had a dog or two as part of the family,” Parker said. “Adding Paws for the Cure as a Komen Inland Empire event has been a dream of mine as many of us know pets can be our rock during an illness and I know many dogs have been a comfort to breast cancer survivors in their healing process.” One of Parker’s dogs, Willie, a 2-year-old chow mix was selected to be the “poster dog” for this year’s event. Parker adopted him from the Helen Woodward Companion Animal Hospital in January 2013 as a gift to her husband Glenn on his 60th birthday. “He likes to play ball, is very quick and can turn on a dime,” she

said. “He loves Haley, our golden retriever who is 10 years old and his mother figure and best friend. They are like ying and yang” Parker said she had hoped to bring him along to the walk, but since Willie tends to get motion sickness, he will probably have to sit this race out. “Since I am coming from Oceanside it doesn’t look too promising,” she said. “We take him on short trips and he is starting to be able to handle being in a moving vehicle much better. His other canine family members, Bella and Jake will be attending in his honor.” Bruce Cripe, development manager with Komen Inland Empire said there are many ways to raise funds and awareness of the disease that affects 1.3 million people annually, but that Paws for the Cure is one that everyone can enjoy while making a difference in the fight against breast cancer. “There are a lot of events going on around the country to raise funds awareness,” he said. “There are tennis events, golf events but Paws for the Cure is just something that some of the affiliates do across the

Reports offer upbeat outlook following Rancho’s purchase of Vail Lake lands Tim O’Leary Staff Writer Temecula area water officials are breathing easier after a pair of recent reports indicated that last year’s $49.6 million Vail Lake land deal appears to be a sound financial investment. The reports from a pair of consulting firms are part of a so-called “rough cut analysis” that is being done in the wake of Rancho Cali-

fornia Water District’s purchase of 7,904 acres surrounding Vail Lake. The reports offered upbeat news regarding the district’s potential ability to recoup part of its purchase cost while providing a range of recreational uses. The property’s many attractions, located within 100 miles of nearly 20 million residents, “could be unique and offer very strong market appeal,” according to Rancho’s economics and feasibility consultant.

Prior to the reports presented last month, district directors and staff had theorized that Rancho can succeed where a prominent developer and his cadre of investors had failed. Rancho directors voted on Aug. 7 to buy the Vail Lake lands through the bankruptcy process. The main goal was to protect the supply and quality of the water in the lake that blankets 1,100 acres southeast of Temecula. But district directors also hope to continue operating

the camping- and water-related activities there. Following the purchase, Rancho Assistant General Manager Richard Williamson revealed that the pressures and uncertainties had sometimes caused him to dream about Vail Lake at night. “I still do,” Williamson said in a recent telephone interview. “But they’re not nightmares anymore.” Williamson said the dreams are

Hard News Promenade geyser erupts when vehicle hits fire hydrant, driver flees the scene Laura Rathbun Writer A 100-foot geyser shot up from a broken fire hydrant next to the Corner Bakery Café at the Promenade mall on Tuesday, Feb. 10 after a driver hit the hydrant and fled the scene, authorities said. Sgt. Daniel Decker of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said a citizen called police at 3:08 p.m. to report the incident, which there were witnesses to. “We received at least two different vehicle descriptions and no suspect description,” Decker said. He added that the driver, if identified, could be charged with misdemeanor hit and run. The spectacular geyser lasted 15 to 20 minutes, according to Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department Capt. Ty Davis of Fire Station

73 in Temecula. “We responded out to a reported traffic accident with injuries right in front of the Corner Bakery at Winchester and Promenade mall,” Davis said. “On our arrival we found there was a sheared hydrant, no vehicle. Per the (police) officers on the scene the vehicle fled the scene so we had no immediate injuries.” Davis said that restaurant businesses near the hydrant were accessed for possible problems caused by the gushing water. “(We) found that there was no water damage to the adjacent businesses (and) requested the appropriate authorities to come out here and mitigate the water incident.” The Rancho Water District was called to shut off the water. ”It took them approximately 10 to 15 minutes to respond and it took them about another five minutes to

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. So Why Didn’t Your Home Sell? Last year many of the homes listed for sale never sold at all, and many sellers found that there was a tremendous amount a homeowner needed to be educated on to sell their home for top dollar in the shortest time period. Don’t risk making the wrong choices and losing both time and money on your investment. Before you hire a Realtor,

get the water shut off,” Davis said. The Temecula Police Department is investigating the incident. If anyone has information about it that can aid the investigation, Decker said they should contact Deputy William Epp at wepp@ riversidesheriff.org. The road in front of the Corner Bakery Café, Chipotle Mexican Grill and the Souplantation flooded with water reaching almost to the top of the curb. Some customers leaving the restaurants removed their shoes and rolled up their pant legs so they could wade through the water to their cars in the parking lot. The geyser attracted attention from many people at the mall who gathered in the parking lot to view it. Many of them recorded it on their cellphones. A spectacular geyer erupted after a car hit a fire hydrant at the Promenade mall on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The driver fled the scene and the Temecula Police Department is investigating the incident.

Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist A motorcycle rider was airlifted to a trauma center after being seriously injured Friday, Feb. 13 in a crash on the southbound side of Interstate 15 in Fallbrook, the California Highway Patrol said.

Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist A long-term investigation into organized retail crime at Ralphs Grocery Company led to the arrest of three men on Wednesday, Feb. 11, authorities said. The Riverside Police Department arrested Dean Thompson, 34, of Temecula, Froilan Garcia, 57, of Romoland and Charles Cherry, 48, of Colton for multiple theft and embezzlement charges, according to a press release written by Riverside Police Sgt. Carla Hardin. The release states that the investigation into thefts totaling more than $1 million was launched in June 2014 by the police department’s East Neighborhood Police Center along with the Organized Retail Crime Division of Ralphs Grocery Company. “Detectives and Organized Retail Crime investigators formulated an investigative strategy and discovered several employees were conspiring in an ongoing scheme to financially benefit from organized retail theft from within the facility,” Hardin wrote. “The joint investiga-

Barbershop quartet Gotta Wear Shades sings on the street in front of The Gambling Cowboy in Old Town Temecula. Quartet members from left to right are Mark Lewis, baritone, Nas Khan Montoya, tenor, Erik Gedney, bass and Tim Gedney, tenor. Laura Rathbun photo

Laura Rathbun Writer While customers in the Old Town Temecula Starbucks enjoyed their coffee on a recent Sunday morning they were treated to an impromptu performance by local barbershop quartet Gotta Wear Shades. The group sang Elvis’ song “Love Me” and afterwards received love in the form of praise by the coffee shop crowd. “It was very soothing and it was a treat to hear a cappella. You don’t hear that a lot,” Murrieta resident Sheree de Leon said. She was sitting at a table with her husband Tony Nguyen and her aunt and uncle Shirley and Carlos Fabro who were visiting from Palm Springs. Nguyen joked that the quartet’s singing should be offered on Starbucks menu. “It should be the standard at Starbucks,” he said. “Their voice blending was very beautiful,” Shirley Fabro said. “They’re awesome,” Carlos Fabro said. The quartet’s members are Mark Lewis, baritone, Nas Khan Montoya, tenor, Tim Gedney, tenor and his son Erik Gedney, bass. They met last September through the local barbershop chorus Wine Valley Harmonizers, which is where people who want to sing barber-

shop music can meet and sing together, according to Montoya. “Gradually we had opportunities to sing together, and we decided to branch out on our own and start our own quartet. We still remain a part of the chorus, though,” Montoya said. They named their quartet Gotta Wear Shades and always wear sunglasses, black shirts and jackets and blue jeans when performing. “So far, we’ve performed at the Lake Elsinore Storm stadium, for a wealth of restaurants and establishments all around the Temecula, Murrieta area, as a guest group for the Christmas show for the Hemet Harmonizers and most recently for the California Society of Tax Professionals,” Montoya said. They practice just prior to and after the weekly barbershop chorus rehearsals that are at 7 p.m. each Wednesday at the Atria building off of Butterfield Stage Road in Temecula. “We usually try out new music and then make decisions on an ad hoc basis to go perform down in Old Town or elsewhere when our work schedules happen to line up,” Montoya said. Lewis, 55, is a teacher, Montoya, 31, is an attorney, Erik Gedney, 28, is a bartender and Tim Gedney, 57, is a physician assistant. All, except Montoya, live in Murrieta. Montoya is a Temecula resident. Montoya said the public loves

their spontaneous singing. “I think it catches people by surprise, especially since it’s a rarity in this area to see a wandering musical act. I think we’re the only barbershop group in town, and so we’re definitely a novelty, like hand buzzers or rubber chickens, only more musical,” he said. “We’ve had people tell us it made their anniversaries more memorable, that it made their day or just boosted their spirits in general—the enthusiasm for what we do is just wonderful.” Lewis said that they could be called the unofficial barbershop quartet of Old Town. “We’ve loved the times we’ve made some magic at Baily’s, Public House, The Gambling Cowboy, Crush & Brew, 1909, and Luke’s On Front,” he said. “We also head up to Spuntino’s The Bar Next Door, numerous Starbucks and an actual barbershop from time to time. We have a soft spot for Eugene’s Clean Cut in Murrieta. We are very spontaneous, grassroots and community-based in our performances. “Don’t be surprised when you hear a cappella harmonies ringing down the streets of Old Town Temecula,” Lewis added. “Who is it? Gotta be Gotta Wear Shades!” The quartet can be hired for gigs and be contacted by emailing GettinShady@gmail.com or by calling (703) 801-9856.

A federal judge in Texas has blocked President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration. The President’s plan, which passed in November 2014, would protect an estimated five million immigrants who are in the country illegally from deportation. Judge Andrew Hanen issued the order late on Monday, Feb. 16. The effort to block immigration reform was led by Texas and included 26 states and claimed the President’s actions violated the constitution and that the impacted states would suffer irreparable harm. Other states involved in the lawsuit include Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. “Judge Hanen’s decision rightly stops the President’s overreach in its tracks,” said Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott. The lawsuit claims that the President overstepped his constitutional powers by ordering the Department of Homeland Security to not deport millions of undocumented immigrants who meet specific criteria. The White House Office of the Press Secretary issued a statement on Hanen’s decision Tuesday

morning saying that the Supreme Court and Congress have made it clear that the federal government can set priorities in enforcing immigration laws, something that the President did when he announced immigration reform nearly three months ago. “…which is exactly what the President did when he announced commonsense policies to help fix our broken immigration system,” the statement read. “Those policies are consistent with the laws passed by Congress and decisions of the Supreme Court, as well as five decades of precedent by Presidents of both parties who have used their authority to set priorities in enforcing our immigration laws.” The statement goes on to say that the Department of Justice, legal scholars, immigration experts and the district court in Washington, D.C. have all determined that the President’s actions are “well within his legal authority.” “Top law enforcement officials, along with state and local leaders across the country, have emphasized that these policies will also benefit the economy and help keep communities safe,” the statement says. “The district court’s decision wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense policies from taking effect and the Department of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision.” The President’s executive order was intended to help undocumented immigrants whose children were

born in the United States and are citizens or legal permanent residents. In order to be eligible for immigration reform, immigrants have to have been living in the United States since Jan. 1, 2010 and have no record of a serious crime(s), according to Whitehouse.gov. “The President’s actions focus on the deportation of people who threaten national security and public safety,” the website, www. whitehouse.gov states. “He has directed immigration enforcement to place anyone suspected of terrorism, violent criminals, gang members, and recent border crossers at the top of the deportation priority list. Under the executive order, there will be accountability through criminal and national security background checks. Immigrants who would be allowed to stay in the U.S. would be required to pay their fair share of taxes. A crackdown on illegal immigration at the border would also begin with the plan. “The President’s actions increase the chances that anyone attempting to cross the border illegally will be caught and sent back. Continuing the surge of resources that effectively reduced the number of unaccompanied children crossing the border illegally this summer, the President’s actions will also centralize border security command-and-control to continue to crack down on illegal immigration,” an information piece on immigration issued by the White House states.

well as city residents, and we hope the court ensures that the city acts responsibly to safeguard them.” State law requires that cities have firefighting and emergency medical services in place to protect residents. The lawsuit asks the court to require that Canyon Lake establish a firefighting and emergency-services plan before its contract with the county expires June 30. It also seeks full payment for services the county provided up to a year ago.

Over the course of four years, the Spirit Run for the Arts has raised more than $75,000 to help support music, visual arts, and theatrical programs throughout the Temecula Valley. Additionally, the Spirit Run for the Arts donated more than $7,000 to the Temecula Valley Foundation for Excellence in Education grants. Run organizers look to expand the programs involved, making it a district wide event, inviting organizations from all schools to participate. The Temecula schools are a vital artery in the blood of the community. A key factor contributing to the success of both the schools and the city is performing and visual arts’ programs. Multiple studies indicate that participation in the arts increases academic and social success in school and promotes a sense of cooperative spirit. This positive outcome is good for all students,

Canyon Lake contracted to pay the $903,000 in an agreement to have the Riverside County Fire Department/CALFIRE provide firefighting and emergency medical services within the city limits. The agreement between Canyon Lake and the county sets appropriate costs and staffing levels, which were established to protect residents as well as firefighters. The charge for services through June 30 would push the unpaid bill to $1.9 million if the city continues its refusal to pay. Canyon Lake has offered less than city officials agreed to pay under terms of the contract, and wants to pay an amount known as the structural fire tax. That money represents the portion of property taxes the city receives under state law to help pay for a firefighting and emergency services. Those services almost always cost more than the structural tax provides. “Twenty-one cities and agencies contract for services with the county and the structural tax covers the cost of services in just two cities,” Smith said. “And the tax only covers about 35 percent of what Riverside County spends countywide on firefighting and emergency medical services.” County officials understand that Canyon Lake has struggled to stay within budget, but other cities and the county have had to resolve their own financial difficulties, Smith said. The county already spent the $903,000 to protect Canyon Lake residents and needs to recoup that money to help provide services to taxpayers countywide. “The county simply does not have funds to take over city responsibilities in tough financial times,” he said. “We cannot just write off a bill for almost $1 million, regardless of whether the city claims it might pay some portion. That wouldn’t be fair to taxpayers countywide.”

Notes:

Background Information The best time of year to see bald eagles in Southern California is during winter months when there is an influx of eagles. Migrating eagles typically begin arriving in the area in late November and leave in late March or early April. Bald eagles are usually found close to water because their diet is primarily made up of fish and ducks. As winter approaches in those northern regions, lakes freeze over and waterfowl fly south. For bald eagles, that means that the food they eat has become scarce. So, they head south looking for areas with abundant food supplies and end up wintering in sunny southern California. During the winter, southern California bald eagles are typically found at many of the lakes, including Big Bear Lake, Baldwin Lake, Silverwood Lake, Lake Arrowhead, Green Valley Lake, and Grass Valley Lake in the San Bernardino Mountains and Prado Dam, Lake Perris, Lake Hemet, Lake Skinner, Diamond Valley Lake, Lake Matthews, and the Salton Sea to the south. Through radio-tracking efforts, biologists learned that some of the same individual eagles return to the San Bernardino Mountains year after year. We also determined that there is a lot of movement of eagles between the different mountain lakes and that the lakes do not have distinctive separate populations—the eagles regularly move between the mountain lakes. Radio-tracking and/or banding also revealed that the eagles that winter in the San Bernardino Mountains migrate to Southern California from Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Canada. Those regions are likely where most of our migratory bald eagles nest in spring and summer. Some of the San Bernardino Mountains’ eagles were tracked all the way to Alberta and the Northwest Territories in Canada - that is about 2,000 miles one-way! For more information regarding bald eagle migratory routes for these and other California eagles go to the University of Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group’s web site at (http://

www2.ucsc.edu/scpbrg/baeamigration.htm). While the evidence suggests a northern interior migration for most of the bald eagles, some of our southern California eagles have traveled fewer miles, moving over from the Channel Islands. Breeding populations of bald eagles in Southern California were extirpated by the late 1950s. Until reintroduction efforts began in the 1980s on Catalina Island, the southern-most nest site known in California was in Lake County. Since 2003, several pairs of bald eagles have decided that our southern California neighborhoods were too nice to leave – they built nests and have successfully raised families. Nesting bald eagles can now be found at Lake Hemet, Lake Skinner, Lake Matthews, and Big Bear Lake. As the local populations continue to grow in North America, year-round residency and nesting is becoming more common. This is exactly what happened at Lake Hemet in Riverside County. The female eagle with orange wing tags “02” hatched at San Francisco Zoo in 2000 and was released as a chick on Catalina Island as part of the reintroduction efforts. In 2004, she arrived at Lake Hemet and decided to take up year-round residence with the male bald eagle that was already there. This pair has nested every year since then. In 2012, the first successful bald eagle nesting ever recorded in the San Bernardino Mountains happened in Big Bear Lake. As bald eagles raise families in southern California, it is now possible to see bald eagles year-round (not just during winter migrations). Nonetheless, because of the influx of migrating bald eagles during the winter, the easiest time to see eagles is still between December and March. The bald eagle is a success story of the federal Endangered Species Act – through protection under that law; its populations have recovered from the brink of extinction. Captive breeding programs, reintroduction efforts, the banning of DDT, and public education have all helped in the recovery of this species. There are over 10,000 breeding pairs in the United States and they now breed again in all 49 of the continental United States (they have never bred in Hawaii). Because of the population rebound, bald eagles are no longer in jeopardy of going extinct. While bald eagles are no longer protected under federal Endangered Species Act, they still have full protection under the Bald Eagle Protection Act and under the State of California’s Endangered Species Act. These laws make it illegal to harm or harass bald eagles. It is also illegal to possess bald eagle parts, even a feather. Catching a glimpse of our breathtaking national symbol is relatively easy during winter months. There are some fantastic opportunities for excellent close-up photographs too. Just look in the tallest trees around the lake near open water for perching eagles. Or, if the lake is partly ROUND: R1

SAN BERNARDINO - The third bald eagle count of the winter was conducted by volunteer citizen biologists and local Federal and State biologists around several lakes in Southern California on Feb. 14. A number of bald eagles migrate to Southern California to spend their winter vacations around lakes and because their prey animals (fish and ducks) are no longer available to them in the cold northern regions as ice covers the lakes and rivers. At total of 17 bald eagles were observed at six different lakes in Southern California’s Inland Empire and mountains: Lake Silverwood - 1 adult and 1 young bald eagle; Lake Gregory - 1 adult; Lake Arrowhead - 2 adult eagles and 2 young eagles; Lake Hemet - 2 adult eagles; and Big Bear Lake - 2 adults and 6 juvenile bald eagles. Juvenile bald eagles are the same size as the adults but are more similar to golden eagles in their appearance. They do not acquire the white head and tail until about 4 to 5 years of age. The turnout of volunteers on Valentine’s Day was amazing. Approximately 275 volunteers and agency staff participated in the eagle search. The weather was perfect. As Kathy Williams from Silverwood State Recreation Area noted “it was a beautiful day for birding.” Almost all of the participants were lucky enough to see at least one bald eagle. The count coordinators from the Forest Service and State Recreation Areas would like to thank those volunteers for their dedication in getting up early and participating in the eagle census. The success of the eagle counts is entirely dependent on volunteers. The public is invited to take part in the last bald eagle count for this winter scheduled for Saturday, March 14. No experience needed. Signing up ahead of time is unnecessary– just show up at the designated time and location, dress warmly, bring binoculars and a watch. Big Bear Lake area volunteers will meet at 8:00 a.m. at the Forest Service’s Big Bear Discovery Center on North Shore Drive for orientation.

Call (909) 382-2832 for cancellation due to winter weather conditions – an outgoing message will be left by 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the count if it has to be cancelled. Contact the Discovery Center (909) 382-2790 for information about Eagle Celebrations. There will also be a free slideshow about bald eagles at 11:00 after the count.

trees above the picnic area. Remember that human presence may distract or disturb the eagles - so, try to limit your movements and do not make loud noises when they’re nearby. If possible, remain in your car while looking at eagles - the car acts as a blind. Stay a respectful distance of at least 200300’ away from perched bald eagles. Do not get closer than ¼ mile away nesting bald eagles – trying to get a closer look may result in eagles becoming agitated and knocking eggs or chicks out to the nest. It is illegal to harm or harass bald eagles. Please do your part to help protect our national bird.

Crime prevention tips to teach kids

Teach phone safety When a child answers the phone, teach them to not answer the phone by saying, “My parents are not home. I’m home alone.” Have them say, “My dad can’t come to the phone right now; he is working on a project. He said to call back tomorrow.” Have them walk away from the phone and yell, “Dad! The phone!” Then have them go back to the phone and say, “He said call back tomorrow” and hang up. It’s very important to speak to your kids about various threatening scenarios. Be safe, and stay in the loop.

RIVERSIDE - Two hospitals in Riverside County were assessed six-figure fines by a state agency for mistakes involving the care of patients, both of whom died. According to the California Department of Public Health, JFK Memorial Hospital in Indio and Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murrieta were each slapped with $100,000 penalties for incidents that occurred in 2011. The health department announced on Feb. 11 that a total of 10 hospitals statewide were cited after investigations found that noncompliance with licensing requirements caused, or was likely to cause, serious injury or death to patients. The Rancho Springs Medical Center incident involved a female patient who sought emergency treatment in June 2011. According to the CDPH, the 47-year-old woman was brought to the hospital via ambulance suffering from pulmonary disease, diabetes and related chronic ailments. She was admitted to the emergency room with hyperkalema, or excessive levels of potassium in the bloodstream that can precipitate cardiac arrest. Over the course of six hours, the woman received what state officials characterized as hit-and-miss treatment, with her assigned nurse failing to promptly deliver medications ordered by the emergency room physician. In one instance, intravenous blood thinner and a pill to counteract elevated potassium were not given to the patient until three hours after they

had been prescribed, according to the CDPH. The agency’s findings further indicated that the patient’s vital signs weren’t documented every 15 minutes, per emergency room policy, despite her critical condition. Though she appeared to stabilize in the first couple of hours, the woman ultimately plunged into respiratory distress and died. According to the CDPH, the hospital neglected to follow protocol for “nursing diagnosis, planning, intervention (and) evaluation.” Representatives from the Southwest Healthcare System, which operates the hospital, did not response to a request for comment. However, in its official answer to the health department’s findings, the SHS said it had reviewed all policies and procedures and that “action plans were developed and implemented” to improve patient care. They included re-educating nurses on the importance of timely medication administration, closely monitoring patients and immediately reporting changes in a patient’s condition. JFK Memorial Hospital CEO Gary Honts released a statement saying the medical center had since addressed the issues that prompted the state action. “There is a renewed culture of accountability at JFK, based upon higher expectations for performance and high-quality, patient-centered care,” Honts said. “We are relent-

lessly focused on improving the patient experience as a trusted community provider.” The JFK fine was connected to a patient who sought treatment in September 2011. According to the CDPH, the woman, whose identity was not released, was terminally ill when she was admitted to the hospital, suffering from end-stage liver disease and related complications. The health department complaint indicated that the uninsured patient refused hospice care, and over a six-day period, continued to receive treatment at JFK while case managers attempted to arrange to have her transferred to Riverside County Regional Medical Center. Documents showed there was difficulty effecting the transfer via ambulance, and ultimately the woman was discharged from JFK with instructions to “go right away” to the other facility. According to the health department, the woman left the hospital with low blood pressure and in weak condition. Her son attempted to transport her to the Moreno Valley hospital, but his car broke down on the freeway a few miles away, and an ambulance was dispatched to retrieve his mother, who died that afternoon in intensive care. State officials concluded that proper discharge procedures weren’t followed at JFK, citing a failure to ensure “advanced arrangements” had been made for the woman and that other “patient care” factors were considered prior to her release.

allocated $50,000 in operational start-up funds and also budgeted nearly $1.4 million to make repairs and initially maintain and run the lake and recreation amenities. They agreed to pay a park management contractor $15,000 a month and about five percent of the net monthly revenues from recreation functions. A $78,820 project to survey and map the district’s new holdings was listed as one of the first steps to be taken.

Last month, the board agreed to earmark another $2.6 million for operations and capital costs, an outlay that is expected to last until June 30. The board also embraced a plan to spend about $3.5 million over the next three years on in-depth studies, environmental assessments and other planning steps. A board workshop is expected to be held in March to further explore a range of Vail Lake issues. “It’s like an iceberg,” Williamson said. “I think we’ve hit above

the surface, but there’s still a lot to be done.” Vail Lake was created in 1948 when a $1 million dam was built to capture and divert Temecula Creek flows for use by cattle and crops. In 1978, Rancho acquired the 132foot high dam and the permanent rights to the water stored behind it. Rancho serves a 100,000-acre area that is home to more than 140,000 people and encompasses Temecula and parts of Murrieta, French Valley, the Santa Rosa Plateau and the wine country. For decades, Rancho has used the dam to capture runoff and release flows into a valley basin below for percolation into groundwater supplies. Up to 40 percent of the district’s current water supply comes from its vast underground supplies. The district had been interested in buying the land around the lake for nearly two decades. But a prominent developer and his investors moved first and purchased much of the land in December 1997. At the time of the developer’s purchase, the property included a shuttered recreational vehicle park. The deal included a campground and a resort-style complex that dates back to the 1960s and includes a water slide, miniature golf course and food concessions. The purchase also gave the partnership recreation rights to the lake, and fishing and camping memberships were sold. Numerous small and large scale community and commercial events, many with sports themes, were held at a Vail Lake amphitheater and the surrounding grounds. The developer’s long-term vision, which was unveiled in late 2000, called for the construction of 5,172 homes, three golf courses, a yacht club, five wineries, stores and an executive retreat. But that development plan stalled, in part because of the presence of nearly 40 endangered or sensitive plants and animals that include the bald eagle, golden eagle and great blue heron. Riverside County planners also cited concerns over traffic conges-

tion on two-lane Highway 79 South and the lack of sewer services in the rural, nearly pristine area. The inability to develop the land forced the partnership into a caretaker role and prompted it to solely rely on recreation revenues to pay its hefty maintenance and operating costs. As a result, the partnership sagged as operating costs mounted and legal fees, planning expenses and property taxes went unpaid. The partnership sought bankruptcy protection, and Rancho emerged as the lone buyer for the vast tract that had scant prospects of development in the years to come. The purchase decision cast Rancho in unfamiliar territory – owning property that has a range of recreation and special event uses. The property’s amenities include a 467-space RV park, a clubhouse and pool, a water slide, a lakefront stage, an equestrian area, two boat ramps and floating docks with boat slips. The property is crisscrossed by trails that are used by hikers, runners, mountain bikers and offroad vehicle riders. The occupancy rate of the RV park has hovered at about 10 percent a year, and repairs and maintenance work are needed throughout the facility, according to a report done by Peterson Economics, a real estate feasibility and economics firm. That report states some of the property’s features “fell into a state of disrepair” and have become dilapidated in recent years. It recommends a series of improvements that includes razing the water slide because it “appears to have been very poorly maintained.” On the revenue front, the Peterson report noted that improving and operating Vail Lake “appears financially viable.” The report cautioned that the current level of study had simply netted “preliminary ballpark estimates and projections.” But its calculations thus far show that revenues from special events and lake and resort functions could exceed the costs by $100,000 in the second year of operation and by as much as $1.5 million annually by the 10th year. There is also a likelihood that the district could recoup part of its purchase costs by offering parts of the property to development companies that need to purchase mitigation credits. Many cities and counties allow developers to build on environmentally-sensitive sites if they agree to purchase, protect and maintain sensitive habitat elsewhere. The demand for mitigation land hinges on the economy and other factors, and time-consuming studies must be done to win state and federal approvals, Williamson said. Another Rancho contractor, WRA Environmental Consultants, is studying that land mitigation option and will likely begin the necessary work. Although it could take years to achieve, Williamson said there is “some real potential” for the district to tap such a revenue source. “I would say we’re in the early stages of that process,” he said.

Local Murrieta police officers teach 911 system and give safety tips to preschoolers Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist Murrieta Police Department Traffic Division Officers Jennifer Metoyer and Dave Hernandez visited Murrieta Ranch Preschool on Wednesday, Feb. 11 to teach the students about the 911 system and safety. The officers spoke to students about stranger danger, bicycle helmet safety and how to determine if someone talking to you is a real police officer, according to Traffic Sgt. Jay Froboese. “Officers also covered the 911 system and encouraged each child to talk with their parents on how to use this system to get help quickly if they need it,” he said. During the presentation, the students had the opportunity to ask the officers questions and they were

given sticker badges. Froboese said that traffic officers visit schools in the Murrieta Valley Unified School District and private Murrieta schools as part of the department’s community outreach program to talk to students on safety topics that are age appropriate. “When invited to do so, officers are also happy to speak to groups, clubs, Rotary, and chamber functions on a variety of topics,” he said. “If you are interested in having a traffic officer do a presentation for your function, please contact our Public Speaker Liaison Officer James Tompkins directly at (951) 461-6304 or at jtompkins@ murrieta.org.” “Part of our motto is partnership with our community and reaching out to the kids,” Tompkins commented. “The young kids enjoy spending the time with the police officers.”

Valley News publishes first ever Menifee Sourcebook Kim Harris Managing Editor The Valley News, in partnership with the Menifee Chamber of Commerce and the city of Menifee, has published the first ever Greater Menifee Area Sourcebook available on Newsstands now. Publisher Julie Reeder said the effort is a way to ensure that Menifee residents, businesses and visitors alike can all find the information they need in one easy-to-use location. “Inside the Greater Menifee Area Sourcebook, readers are given the opportunity to explore all that the city has to offer,” she said. “There is useful information such as a Menifee Chamber of Commerce listing of businesses and a citywide calendar of events.”

The sourcebook also features columns from city and chamber leaders, as well as features on businesses, restaurants and the people who make Menifee unique. The Valley News is already in the planning stages for the next edition of the Sourcebook, Reeder said. “Ideas are always welcome for important or interesting stories showcasing the strength and unique characteristics of Menifee,” she said. Copies of the sourcebook can picked up at the Chamber of Commerce located at 29737 New Hub Dr., Suite102 in Sun City and area businesses, including Provecho Grill located at 26862 Cherry Hills Blvd. in Sun City, Menifee Lakes Country Club located at 29875 Menifee Lakes Dr. in Menifee and Menifee City Hall located at 29714 Haun Rd. in Menifee.

Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist Nearly 200 people with special needs turned out for Murrieta’s 12th annual Valentine’s Dinner Dance for Special Needs Adults on Friday, Feb. 13. The event at the Murrieta Community Center got underway about 6 p.m. with help from Interact Club members from Murrieta Mesa, Murrieta Valley and Vista Murrieta high schools and volunteers from the Rotary Club of Murrieta. “This is one of the favorite things the Rotary Club of Murrieta does each year,” said the club’s Public Relations Director Linda Dozier. “In partnership with the city, we sponsor a Valentine’s Dinner Dance for Special Needs Adults.” Soon after dinner was served, the lights were turned down and music filled the air in the community center as many danced their hearts away. Most people in attendance at the three-hour event were dressed as if they were at their high school prom. “To them, this is like a senior prom,” Dozier said. “It is a good cause and opportunity for the Ro-

tary Club and the city to recognize part of the population that may often be overlooked.” According to Dozier, the city sends invites to the special needs adults through their alternative recreation program and through Care-Rite, an agency that finds employment and activities for

them. “It makes me feel really good ... this is one of the things that is really heartwarming,” Dozier said. “This gives them a social life that too often they are excluded from. “This is truly a special night for these special adults,” she added.

Local Local explorer to give history talk on abandoned Southern California sites

Murrieta resident and local explorer Robert Larson who will give a talk at the Temecula Valley Historical Society on Feb. 23. Courtesy photos

Laura Rathbun Writer The Temecula Valley Historical Society is presenting a program by Robert Larson, a freelance writer and radio talk show host on Monday, Feb. 23 from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Little Temecula History Center, the red barn located west of Kohl’s in south Temecula. Larson, a Murrieta resident with a lifelong interest in the local deserts and their lore, backpacks into remote locations to explore hidden California locations, according to the society’s Vice President and Program Chair Rebecca Farnbach. During his presentation titled Grand Schemes and Broken Dreams: Stunning Visual Remnants from Southern California’s Past, Larson will discuss three abandoned Southern California locations: the Salton Sea, the Goat Canyon Railroad Trestle east of San Diego and the Bridge to Nowhere in the eastern part of San Gabriel Valley.

“The startling present day images trigger deeper questions and offer clues about rich and nearly forgotten histories,” Farnbach said. “Larson’s images will highlight the evolution and eventual devolution of all three locations as inextricably intertwined with the region’s strained relationship with water.” Farnbach has seen the Bridge to Nowhere, which ends abruptly with no road past it. “It gives the feeling of ‘What was the point of spending all that money to build it,’ but of course there was a story behind the construction,” she said. “I have also visited the Salton Sea and although it is an interesting area, almost like a lunar landscape, it is difficult to envision that it was ever a draw for tourism.” Farnbach said Larson was selected to speak because of an article he wrote last fall for High Country Magazine, which is a well-regarded publication of the Temecula Valley Museum. “His entertaining article, California’s Lost Pearl Ship, explored facts to support the supposed

myth of a colonial-era Spanish galleon filled with pearls that was reported to be half buried in the shifting sands of the southern California desert,” she said. Farnbach spoke to Larson about his article and he told her that he has pursued many such stories by hiking out to locations, photo-documenting and doing extended research. “After listening to some of his stories of other explorations and seeing some of his photos, I asked if he would be willing to do a presentation for the historical society,” she said. The society’s guest speaker for March will be Karl Weiler, a local resident and an avid genealogist. He will give a presentation titled What Really Happened at Ellis Island. “In this presentation he will strip away misconceptions and give the audience a realistic view of the emigrant experience,” Farnbach said.

Old Town Temecula Theater remodel creates new opportunities for Classics

California Chamber Orchestra practices under conductor Dana Zimbric.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Classics at the Merc will be shuttered with the Old Town Temecula Community Theater’s upcoming renovation, but the show must go on, according to Mark G. Margolin, Vice President of the California Chamber Orchestra. “The theater is closing temporarily as of March 1, and this affects all of the groups who perform there,” Margolin said. The Old Town Temecula Com-

munity Theater will close as the City of Temecula repairs construction defects on the exterior of the building. The complex is expected to re-open by October, according to Margolin. The theater renovation project has been in the planning stages for quite a few months now, said Margolin, and for a troupe of the orchestra’s size, finding proper venues can be difficult. “It’s tough to find a space to fit our orchestra,” Margolin said, a challenge when taking the show on the road when the orchestra ranges

in size, from 12 to 30 musicians at a time. “The Murrieta United Methodist Church has nice acoustics, and is a great building. They’ve been supportive and helpful during this transitional time,” Margolin said. The Classics at The Merc will downshift during the construction project to perform twice a month rather than weekly, now at the Temecula Community Center on Pujol Street. Orchestra conductor and artistic director Dana Zimbric believes this move will be a positive transition for the orchestra, even

with the lessened number of shows. “After a lot of consideration and soul searching, we decided that we’d cut the series back from every Sunday to just two Sundays per month during the closure,” Zimbric said. “But series curator Robert Culverhouse has lined up some really great performers for those recitals. And the larger space means we can accommodate more patrons at each performance.” With the temporary move come a few added benefits, according to Margolin. “Many of our regular audience members live in Murrieta, both at the Colony, and Bear Creek.” Margolin said. “We hope to attract friends and family to our shows, and that people will bring friends and family to the performances.” Family is always encouraged at each concert, according to Margolin. For every adult or senior ticket, two free tickets, for attendees’ 16-years-old and under, are available. “We want to continue classical music as a family tradition,” Margolin said.

Assemblywoman Melendez reintroduces anticorruption legislation SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez, RLake Elsinore, announced she has reintroduced legislation to provide whistleblower protections for legislative staff. “The legislature should be doing everything in its power to ensure this government is one of honor and integrity and take every step necessary to fight corruption,” Melendez said. “Legislative staff has a responsibility to report if their boss is selling shoulder fire missiles and we have a responsibility to protect that staff member.”

Last year, then Assembly bill 2065 cleared the Assembly with unanimous support, but only to meet its fate when it was killed in the Senate Appropriations committee. Under current law, the California Whistleblower Protection Act provides protection to state employees in the executive and judicial branches who choose to exercise their right to make a protected disclosure of improper governmental activity. However, employees of the Legislature are not covered under this act, nor do they have a process for reporting questionable

governmental behavior. Assembly bill 289 extends whistleblower protection to legislative staff who report illegal or unethical behavior in the Legislature and establishes a clear process for bringing these allegations forward. “The Legislature, elected officials and staff, have a responsibility to uphold the public’s trust by creating an atmosphere of transparency and accountability,” Melendez said. “I am hopeful my colleagues in both houses will put the integrity of our government ahead of politics.” Melendez represents the 67th

GOP lawmakers introduce legislation to encourage early college savings SACRAMENTO –Assembly Members Jim Patterson (R-Fresno), Melissa Melendez (R-Lake Elsinore), Frank Bigelow (RO’Neals), and Bill Brough (R-Dana Point), introduced legislation Monday that would encourage early college savings by making contributions to California’s college savings plan tax deductible. “This is California’s opportunity to help parents saving their own hard-earned dollars to keep more of that money. This will be a great tool for middle-class families who are planning for their children’s future,” Patterson said. “Higher education has become just a dream, not a reality, for too many Californians,” Melendez said. “A college degree is a gateway to better employment, higher salaries, and a better quality of life. That is

why the legislature should be cutting the cost of higher education anywhere it can.” ScholarShare, California’s 529 college savings plan, was established as a way to encourage early college savings for future higher education expenses. According to the College Savings Foundation, the number of Americans saving in 529 plans has grown from two million in 2001 to seven million in 2014, and 80 percent of them are middle class. This year, there are over 1 million middle class students currently enrolled in college that are benefitting from a 529. “College savings plans have helped many middle class students pay tuition costs they may have otherwise not been able to afford,” Bigelow said. “As those costs continue to soar, our bill would

MARDI GRAS from page A-1 Capt. Le Bon on bass violin. “What about me? What am I playing?” Ash asked, strumming her string instrument. One of the kids yelled “Ukulele!” “That’s right! Thanks for not saying, ‘a little, tiny guitar’ because I get that a lot,” she said, jokingly. Next she asked the kids if they knew what cool and special holiday was coming up. Most responded “Valentine’s Day!” “I really like Valentine’s Day, but that’s not it,” Ash said. She told the kids it was going to be Mardi Gras on Feb. 17 and explained that it literally means Fat Tuesday in French. “It means ‘hey, it’s Tuesday! Let’s get crazy and eat a lot of food and go blahhhh!’” Ash said, shaking her head and arms wildly. The kids laughed at her antics. The band then launched into playing songs reflective of early New Orleans jazz, zydeco, bebop and swing. Most of the songs were from the band’s first album “Ready!” and second album “Home.” “Ready!” was voted one of the Top 20 Best Children’s Albums of 2014 by the Kids & Family Awards, Metro Kids Magazine and

WXPN Kids Corner Radio. The band is releasing its third album “Bon Voyage!” in April. Ash commented that her favorite song “Jitterbug” is being played on Radio Disney this month. “I’m really excited about that!” she exclaimed. “Grab a partner or two or three and dance,” she instructed the kids before performing “Jitterbug.” Murrieta resident Anji Morrison got up from her seat and danced with her sons Christian, 11, and Zachariah, 7, during the song. Morrison thought the program was fantastic. “I love the blues and jazz. I should have been born in the ‘40s,” she said, laughing. “Frank Sinatra is my favorite.” Other songs the band performed were “Salmon Song”, “King Cobra”, “Baby Loves Beignets” and “I’m So Glad.” They aptly played “Time to Go” at the end of the show. “Thank you so much everybody, to our swing dancers and sound makers. Did you all have a good time today?” Ash asked. The audience clapped and smiled in response. For more information on the band and its music, visit www. jazzyash.com.

help offset those costs and make it easier for parents to invest in their children’s future.” “Too many families don’t qualify for a dollar of financial aid but still can’t afford soaring costs of college. This bill provides incentive to parents to start saving towards their children’s futures. We have to relieve the burden of debt on students coming out of college,” Brough said. Contributions to college savings plans are made with money that has already been taxed, and once they are placed into the account, any investment earnings are not federally or state taxed if used to pay for qualified higher education expenses. However, contributions to ScholarShare plans have never been tax deductible. Assembly Bill 209 would allow those who contribute to these savings plans to deduct these contributions on their state taxes.

Vaccinations are a must for everyone Kim Harris Managing Editor I just read something alarming. According to a report from California County News, an agency we use to keep abreast of what is happening throughout the state, some parents were planning on throwing and attending measles parties. The intent is to intentionally expose children to measles in “hope of building up immunity” to negate the need for a vaccine. Upon finishing the article, I had to wonder to myself, “What are these parents thinking?” Not only does the California Department of Health warn against attending these kinds of social gatherings, but the department warns against intentional exposure. “CDPH strongly recommends

against the intentional exposure of children to measles as it unnecessarily places the exposed children at potentially grave risk and could contribute to further spread,” CDPH spokeswoman Anita Gore said in the article. No kidding. Currently there are 107 confirmed cases of measles in California with 39 of those cases being linked to the Disneyland outbreak that began in December. Before the vaccine, the highly contagious virus that is easily spread through direct contact and the air, killed an estimated 2.6 million people a year, according to the World Health Organization. The virus is still one of the leading causes of death among young children around the world despite the availability of what the WHO

calls a “safe and effective vaccine.” While the vaccine resulted in a 75 percent drop in measles death worldwide between 2000 and 2013, there are still many who choose not to vaccinate children due to their belief that the vaccine can cause autism and other various illnesses in children. According to an article published by the Centers for Disease Control, regarding vaccines and concerns about autism, there is no link between the two. A scientific review by the Institute of Medicine backs the CDCs claims of no link between autism and vaccines. The study by IOM reviewed eight vaccines given to children, MMR (Measles, Mumps and Ruebella), varicella or chicken pox, Influenza, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Human Papillomavirus, meningococcal and

Diphtheria-toxoid-, tetanus toxoidand acellular pertussis-containing vaccine. The report appears fair and balanced to me. It makes no recommendations and does not address the benefit of the vaccine, but according to the report, “findings indicate that these vaccines are generally very safe and that serious adverse events are quite rare.” I have a plethora of kids, seven to be exact, and all of mine – with the exception of a couple of those kids who actually had chicken pox – have been vaccinated against the measles and all the rest of the diseases studied in the IOM report. They are all happy, healthy and well adjusted, and much to my relief, protected from these diseases. As an individual I understand that vaccines are a parent’s choice and

think that everyone should have the ability to come to their own conclusions when making the decision to vaccinate their children, or not. As a mom, I can’t fathom not doing everything in my power to protect my kids from diseases that are known killers. You may agree with me, you may not, but I encourage everyone to read the reports I mentioned above and do their own research to make an informed decision when contemplating whether or not to vaccinate their children.

they fail to generate support. Many more will create no controversy whatsoever, and will eventually pass by an overwhelming margin. Bills being introduced this year include legislation requiring school children to be immunized, raising California’s minimum wage (again), and a bill that would strengthen California’s already stringent emissions regulations. Other legislation would require

parental notification when minors seek abortions and still another establishing the legal right for doctor-assisted suicides. Less controversial bills are also on the table. One would encourage families to save for their children’s education through tax incentives, while another attempts to reform perceived flaws in the state’s election recount process. Obviously, many of these bills

will soon be generating debate and commanding public attention. The Legislative Counsel’s office has a lot of work to complete by the end of the month. When that work is finished, the Legislature’s work begins in earnest. Waldron is a Republican representing the 75th District, encompassing parts of Inland northern Riverside and San Diego counties.

Final bill introduction deadline is around the corner Marie Waldron Assemblywoman 75th District Special to Valley News This year’s deadline for final bill introduction is fast approaching. All potential new bills must be drafted by the Legislative Counsel’s office this month so that final legislation can be introduced by the Feb. 27 deadline.

This is the time of year we start to get inklings about what the new legislative session may entail. Rumors about what’s being introduced, requests from colleagues to co-author legislation and media reports about new bill proposals all start to circulate. It is possible that by the end of February around 1,000 new bills may be introduced. Many of these will die quickly, often pulled by their author when

new food to three parts of the old for several days; then switch to half new food, half old, and then one part old to three parts new. On the way home, Fido should be safely secured, preferably in a crate. Some dogs find car trips stressful, so having him in a safe place will make the trip home easier on him. Once home, take him to his toileting area immediately and spend a good amount of time with him so he will get used to the area and relieve himself. Even if the pup does relieve himself during this time, be prepared for accidents. If you plan on crate training your dog, leave the crate open so that he can go in whenever he feels like it in case he gets overwhelmed. From there, start your schedule of feeding, toileting, play and exercise. Remember, your dog will need family time and brief periods of solitary confinement. Don’t give in and comfort him if he whines when left alone. Instead, give him attention for good behavior, such as chewing on a toy or resting quietly. For the first few days, remain calm and quiet around your dog, limiting too much excitement to allow your dog to settle in easier, it will give you more one-on-one time to get to know him and his likes and dislikes. Congratulations! If you follow these tips, you’ll be on your way to having a well-adjusted canine family member.

TEMECULA - The first few days in a new home are special and critical for a pet. The new dog will be confused about where he is and what to expect. Setting up some clear structure with the family for a new dog will be paramount in making as smooth a transition as possible. Determine where the dog will be spending most of his time. Because he will be under a lot of stress with the change of environment, he may forget any housebreaking (if any) he’s learned. Often a kitchen will work best for easy clean-up. If you plan on crate training the dog, be sure to have a crate set-up and ready to go for when the dog is brought home. Dog-proof the area where the dog will spend most of his time during the first few months by taping loose electrical cords to baseboards; storing household chemicals on high shelves, removing plants, rugs, and breakables, setting up the crate and installing baby gates. Training a dog will start the first moment he is brought home. Take time to create a vocabulary list everyone will use when giving the pooch directions. This will help prevent confusion and help him learn his commands more quickly. If the dog is microchipped, be sure to register contact information with the chip’s company, if the rescue or shelter did not already do so. Give him time to acclimate to the home and family before introducing him to strangers. Make sure children know how to approach the dog without overwhelming him. Replicate his feeding schedule for at least the first few days to avoid gastric distress. To switch to a different food, do so over a period of about a week by adding one part

Dining in the Valley Third Street Smokehouse, backyard barbecue in Old Town Temecula

Outdoor and indoor dining is available at Third Street Smokehouse.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer

hird Street Smokehouse, an iconic barbecue joint located at 41915 Third St. in Temecula, is the ideal restaurant to start or end your evening in Old Town. Just across the street from the Old Town parking garage, this restaurant is owned by Craig and Christy Puma. Diners can expect reasonably priced, good oldfashioned backyard style barbecue, local beer and wine, and a warm family friendly atmosphere. Plan on attending the Puma’s Backyard Barbecue party on Feb. 22, from 12 to 6 p.m. to sample dueling side dishes, and choose what’s next on the menu. “Christy and I invite Temecula to come out on Feb. 22 and pick a side as we challenge each other to prepare a better side dish,” Puma said. With the plan to reinvent their coleslaw, potato salad and mac and cheese, the couple is letting the crowd decide who makes it better. “It’s a fun way to get our fans involved in the decision making process,” Puma said. Barbecue starts at noon, and the tastings will last until just after sundown. “My wife is a very good cook,”

Puma said, “but I have a few tricks up my sleeve.” The “Pick a Side” backyard barbecue is a friendly competition, but as Puma states with a grin, “Valentine’s Day is over. We’re going to battle over the sides.” Diners can enjoy the dry rub style barbecue rather than sauce slathered meats at Third Street Smokehouse. “I use signature dry rubs on all of our meats, the pulled pork, tri tip,” Puma said. “You’ll taste the consistency of the fall-apart meats, and can add as much or as little sauce as you want.” Showcasing dry rub family recipes, Puma makes all of his uniquely named spice rubs in house. “Mama Puma’s Italian Rub wings include spices and flavors that are reminiscent of our Sicilian heritage,” Puma said. Flavors that include aged balsamic vinegar, sea salt, hot chili flakes, along with roasted diced garlic, oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme make these wings some of the most unique in the Valley. When compared to Papa Puma’s “Spaghetti Western” Italian barbecue rub, and you may never want to sample anyone else’s wings again. “The Spaghetti Western combines both barbecue and Italian flavors in a totally unique experience,”

The two meat combo where guests can select any two meats and any two sides. Shown here tri-tip, ribs, mashed yams and corn on the cob.

Puma said about the much ordered appetizer. Choose to sit either indoors, in the modern day cowboy themed interior, or outside, under the tin roof barn for all weather dining. Either way, you’ll enjoy hearty, old-fashioned dry rub barbecue. “Our baby’s got back ribs include a 16-spice dry rub that enhances the meat rather than hiding it,” Puma said. Reinvented from the former Sweet Lumpy’s barbecue (sauce still served at this location) Puma has provided a Texas style smoked barbecue for Temecula and Southwest Riverside diners to enjoy. With so many menu items choose from, the two-meat combination plate was a natural choice. The most difficult decision of the night was which of the meat, and which of the six side dishes to select. Indeed, the pork rib baby back rib meat falls off the bone, and though sauce is supplied for diners who feel the need to dip, none is needed for this dish. Succulent tri tip, seasoned with the traditional barbecue rub, made it difficult to decide which one to devour first. Take a bite, and remember what tri tip should taste like. The flavorful, barbecue flavors zing on the palate and are tender enough to savor every mouthful. Totally sharable, this enormous platter amounts to approximately a half-pound of meat, served with two side dishes of your choice. Roasted corn on the cob and a bowl full of smashed yams with a generous portion of brown sugar were both perfect accompaniments to the meal. The yams have a hint of spice in the sweet that will leave you guessing what blend Puma uses to zing up

this dish. If you’re up for a more traditional menu item, the bestselling BBQ Burger will not disappoint. Tasting like the Fourth of July on a bun, diners are served a half-pound, 100 percent Angus choice beef patty served on a sweet Hawaiian roll for a bun. Topped with signature barbecue sauce, melting cheddar cheese, sautéed onion, and a giant sized, sweet onion ring adds a whole depth of flavor. This burger is accompanied with “the works,” to pile as high as you like with generous portions of tomato, lettuce, and pickle. Nothing is missing from this burger, save for fireworks. The adventurous are welcome to substitute a lean buffalo meat patty, a tribute to Puma’s favored years growing up on Coronado Island. Note: If you order the burger, settle in with appetizers first, or your favorite local vintage or brew from the extensive drink menu. Each burger is made to order, and is definitely worth every bite. Settle in after hours for a seat at

the fire pit tables for easy conversation with nothing but country music on the hidden speakers and watch for Puma to wander tableside to say hello or share a story. If you dine inside, check out the interior artwork for a view of one of Puma’s many motorcycle treks to Sturgis, S.D. Long time motorcycle aficionado, Puma accounts his love of barbecue and Mexican food with the modern cowboy lifestyle. “Motorcycles are the modern horses and riders are the modern cowboys,” he said with a laugh. “It’s easy to get to know folks when you’re riding to see what they’re about.” The Pumas have created a warm, family friendly environment with their restaurant and there’s something on the menu for everyone. Come with your appetite and leave with new friends. The restaurant is open daily at 11 a.m. and the entire menu is available online at www.thirdstreetsmokehouse.com.

Warrant rocker Erik Turner toasts continued winemaking success with South Coast Winery Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Erik Turner’s Rocker Red wine label may boast that it’s from “the wrong side of the tracks,” but the ongoing relationship between Turner and South Coast Winery is on the right track. With the spring release of Dog Days white table wine, they have another winner. Every bottle of Erik Turner Wine is created with thought, subtle wit and personality, and all can be attributed to the keen mind of Turner, famed guitarist of the rock band Warrant. Turner’s work with Master Winemaker Jon McPherson and Winemaker Javier Flores, ensures that each wine is unique from the label design to what’s inside. “We definitely have fun creating each label and drinking the finished product,” Turner said. “We have worked with a few different graphic designers who take my initial label designs and develop them to fruition.” He added that they want the labels to be creative and fun as well as reflect the wine inside the bottle. “The process of selecting the wines is the best part, in my opinion,” Turner said. “I love hanging out in the barrel room and sampling wine to select potential Erik Turner Wines.” Turner’s wife, Kirsten, is integral to the process. “Ultimately, we select a wine that Kirsten and I both agree on. Our palates are so different, it’s our hope that if we agree and each love a wine, most other wine lovers will (love it) too,” he said.

One of the most favored wines yet, according to Turner, was Warrant: Hard Rocker Red. “That was the wine I spent the most time on so far with Jon,” he said. With fruit from Monterey, Calif. and Temecula, Turner and McPherson attempted at least eight different blends until they found the perfect one. Hard Rocker Red combines 75 percent Cabernet, 20 percent Merlot and five percent Petit Verdot. “We did 236 cases and I am happy to say it’s sold out already. If you see it on a shelf or online buy it, it’s a collector’s item now and an amazing wine, in my opinion,” Turner said. With 70 percent of wine sold by label alone, according to studies, Turner relies on name recognition, and feedback from friends, fans, and customers. “It’s difficult to imagine what people are thinking as they pick up the wine bottles in the store,” he said. “With my hard rock music background, it’s important to me that the labels reflect my love of music and wine.” Turner feels the label copy should reflect both the hard rock lifestyle and the soul of the wine. “(Label copy) is well thought out and I have had help from Robert Mason on the Rocker Red Syrah label,” he said. “The I Saw Red Cabernet, for example, was inspired by the Warrant song and video ‘I Saw Red’ and the back copy reflects that in subtle ways. That was the first wine we did with South Coast Winery and it originally had a skull on the label. That was a Limited Edition blend and the wine has since sold

out,” he said. Now on the second edition blend, the label art showcases a broken heart, pierced with an arrow, which really is closer to the lyrics of the song, according to Turner. “Though I get input from the South Coast Winery team as well on back copy and label art, ultimately I have to love the wine and the label that has my name or band name on it. That way, I can proudly serve it in my home, give bottles to clients, fill charity gift baskets, and share with friends, and of course to sell to wine lovers. My

hope is everyone who buys or tries a bottle will enjoy it as much as I do,” Turner said. Turner’s latest wine, Dog Day Afternoon, is a light, sweet and highly palatable 2013 California white table wine. The label states, “we can learn a thing or two about how to chill, frolic or even be spoiled by our favorite companions. They figured this out long before any of us. So enjoy a glass or two while sitting back, relaxing and putting up your paws.” Turner’s guitars, wine, and other Warrant memorabilia can often be

found at local charity galas, such as the Our Nicholas Foundation Auction for Autism. Turner likes to give back to the community. “I love to donate when I can whether its wine or money and in some cases volunteer as a family. I love to help our local community and great causes whenever possible. Many charities are close to my heart and my family. It feels good to give,” he said, smiling.

IVBCF’s annual spring Fashion Show promises to be bigger and better this year Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer The Inland Valley Business and Community Foundation Fashion Show is coming back to Temecula bigger and better than ever before. This year, 10 unique fashion companies will be represented in the primary fundraiser for IVBCF, on Saturday, Feb. 28. Show times are at 4 and 7 p.m. in the Pechanga Resort & Casino’s main ballroom. Tickets range from $25 for a single show to $50 for both. VIP and member discounts are available.

The show will raise funds for IVBCF’s Student Scholarship Program to help grant extended education dreams for area students. Scholarship applications will be accepted online through April 10. The annual fashion show, initially imagined by IVBCF’s founder Marie Waite, has grown from a small community event to a Southern California staple in the fashion world. “We have split this years’ fashion show into two separate shows, inspired by James Bond style,” Waite said. The IVBCF expects over 1,000 attendees this year with more ce-

lebrities and VIP guests committed to attend than ever before. Among the celebrities in attendance will be actor Chris York, along with reality stars Cristina Coria, Heart Hays, Marina Berberyan, and James Wallington. Musical performances include Meriam Kim, Leon Guico, Kiana Guico, and Anatalia Villaranda. Both shows will be different and feature distinctive sets of style. The 4 p.m. show will showcase Belo Noir Diamond Couture, Gloss Boutique, Worth New York, Windsor, and the model prowess of Southern California businessmen leaders in

their James Bond best, alongside Hope’s Chest premier models in retro bathing suits. The 7 p.m. show will start with the same businessmen, followed by Lemonchello’s Boutique, Charmaine J. Rodriguez, Talk of the Town, Camille Wood Designs, ending with the Runway for the Awards. “Talk of the Town will showcase evening dresses, worn by the pageant queens of Menifee, California,” Waite commented. “After the overwhelming response from the 2014 show, we have set our sights high,” she said. “The number of models we have, all businessmen from Southwest Riverside and San Diego areas, is amazing.” Different than previous years, this year’s models will enjoy their photo shoot in true James Bond

style. “We expect to have a backdrop of sleek airplanes, Aston Martins, Lamborghinis and Porsches. It will be truly spectacular for our models,” Waite said. The 30 businessmen invited were asked to wear their best James Bond style suit and come out in what might be a bit outside of their comfort zone, according to Waite. “The guys are amazing, and will have a unique opportunity to get to know one another and network during the photo shoot and backstage during the fashion show,” she said. “In years past, we’ve seen not just business relationships form for them, but also friendships that stand the test of time.” IVBCF’s mission statement to bring businesses and community

SHOW from page A-12 together and Waite said the fashion show is a natural part of that plan. “When I recruit business people to be the fashion show models, I know it isn’t just about business, but also having fun. They are nervous, excited, but also full of energy and having a blast. That energy comes out on the runway, and is great fun for the entire audience,” she said. The show relies heavily on its volunteers. “Kohl’s of Murrieta is giving employees to volunteer at the event, and will be supplying $500 to Project Touch, following the event,” Waite said. “It’s amazing to see that level of corporate involvement.” Show attendees should dress to impress because awards will be given for the best dressed of the night by the panel of the IVBCF judges. Don’t expect to dine at the show. “There is no food at this year’s event, just as how at a typical runway fashion show there are not appetizers or tidbits. There are, however, raffle prizes and silent auction opportunities for our attendees,” Waite said. Currently, there are 20 vendor opportunities available as well as sponsorships open. “Our sponsors can choose to have their name in the program, on the red carpet backdrop, or on the marquee, depending on their level of involvement,” Waite said. The purpose of the night remains to fundraise for the Scholarship Program. “We are helping local students achieve their dream of higher education, thanks to the help of Tammy Wilson and Valerie Geason,” Waite said.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens It’s possible to garden without a yard

Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Special to the Valley News Hello fellow gardeners! I was thinking recently, yes, I do that occasionally, and thought how many people live in apartments or townhouses, possibly even mobile homes, and don’t have access to the earth to garden in. I think everybody should have some type of garden and so I’d like to address that this week, to try to let those without a yard know that they too can be “gardeners.” A garden doesn’t necessarily have to be in the ground, think of raised beds or growing in pots. Let’s talk about those who may have a balcony first. You need

It’s possible to grow herbs and veggies in a small amount of space with a little planning and some sun.

to understand what type of plants you’d like to grow and which direction your balcony faces – north, south, east or west. If it faces south, you’ll have lots of sun most

of the year, north, shade most of the winter, east or west, either morning sun or afternoon sun. Take this into consideration when deciding what to grow – you can’t grow

something that needs full sun on a balcony facing north – in the winter at least. If you get half a day of sun or full day, you have many choices open to you. Right now everybody

can be starting seeds or even buying six packs of small veggies at the nursery and getting those in beds or pots. If you have room on that balcony for a large pot, say one of those half whiskey barrels you can either use six packs of veggies planted in there or you can plant, say one tomato plant (don’t forget a stake!) and then sprinkle seeds of “Mesclun” lettuce around that. You’ll get your lettuce going early, and when they get about 6” high, you can cut them, use them in salads, and then they will grow back. Eventually the tomato plant will take over but by that time it may be too warm for the lettuce anyway. I like the bakers’ rack stands for a balcony, you can find these all over, some really pretty ones are available at Hobby Lobby, and they will hold quite a few potted plants for you. You can also grow many trailing type plants overhead in hanging baskets–dwarf or “bush” cucumbers, squash, sweet potato vines, etc. I’m growing sweet peas in a hanging basket right now, they’re going to be gorgeous and covered with sweet blossoms. Think about what types of plants you like, edible is something I always like, how

Murrieta Mesa girls are Southwestern League Soccer Champions

JP Raineri Sports / Multimedia Editor The Murrieta Mesa girls’ soccer team brought home the school’s first ever league championship on senior night when Junior centerback Annie Blackwood’s 56thminute goal proved to be enough as the Rams held on during to a 1-0

victory over the visiting Chaparral Pumas, clinching the Southwestern League championship. “The girls really worked hard for it this year and I’m so proud of them. This is truly great for them and the school,” Mesa Coach Kevin Legg said. Mesa (17-4-1, 7-2-1 league) won the league title one game ahead of Chaparral (14-2-7, 5-2-3), the

defending league champions, who looked to slump a bit towards the end of the season, winning only one of their final five regular-season matches. “This was a game that could have gone either way,” Pumas Coach Heidi Solis said. “Both teams played their hearts out, now we have to focus on what’s coming our way in the playoffs. Congrats

to Murrieta Mesa, they have been playing very strong this season.” Playoffs begin on Feb. 19 and Murrieta Mesa opens up at home against Citrus Valley. Chaparral will be home against St. Joseph

from Lakewood. Number 3 seed Temecula Valley travels to Norco and Vista Murrieta, who was granted an “at large” bid, will travel to Fullerton to play Troy. Game times are set for 3 p.m.

Local foundation invests $3 million in 2014, plans for $3.5 million clinic expansion RIVERSIDE - Riverside Community Health Foundation, a local nonprofit dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the community, invested over $3 million into the Riverside and Jurupa Valley area through its programs and grants in 2014, an increase of over half a million dollars from 2013. Over $1.3 million of RCHF’s investment was distributed through the organization’s grants program. Top grant recipients in 2014 included Loma Linda Children’s Hospital Foundation, which received $175,000, and Parkview Community Hospital, which received $250,000, to support healthcare programs, medical equipment, or insurance for patients receiving treatment at the

centers that reside in Riverside and Jurupa Valley. In addition, Riverside Community College District received $50,000 to support the college’s Student Health and Psychological Services in creating a wellness center to increase needed counseling services on campus and online; Olive Crest Treatment Centers, Inc. received $50,000 to support a health technician and case manager to provide health education and oversee the health treatment of at-risk youth; and, Path of Life Ministries received $48,000 to support a Marriage and Family Therapist for the Kids of Promise program. “We are always happy to support new and innovative programs

that help to extend the mission of Riverside Community Health Foundation,” said Dr. Dan Anderson, president/CEO of RCHF. “Our 2014 grantees have used their funds to have a tremendous impact on the health of our community.” Other local organizations that received funding include the Riverside Police Department, American Heart Association, Jurupa Area Recreation and Park District, and University of Riverside, California – African Student Programs. A total of 20 local organizations, hospitals, and educational institutions were awarded grants from RCHF in 2014. RCHF invested an additional $1.6 million into the community through its programs and services in 2014.

RCHF operated over 20 different health education and exercise programs in the past year, including Miles of Smiles, a dental education and free sealant program which reaches over 25,000 children in all three local school districts. “2014 was a very strategic year for RCHF,” Anderson. “Our Board of Directors has worked to make many key investments that will greatly grow our organizational capacity in the years to come.” RCHF is currently in the process of an estimated $3.5 million expansion of its Eastside Health Center, which is located on University Avenue in Riverside. The organization has purchased land directly across from its current health center and

plans to build a state-of-the-art clinic that will increase the overall clinic capacity from 6,500 patient visits a year to over 12,000 patient visits a year. The current clinic is at maximum capacity. The organization is expected to break ground on the Eastside Health Center Expansion project late in 2015. In addition, the organization has purchased a new building in downtown Riverside that it plans to relocate its main office to in 2016. Riverside Community Health Foundation’s 2015 grant cycle is currently open to area non-profit organizations, government agencies, and schools. More information about RCHF’s grant program can be found at www.rchf.org.

CoHive is ‘the’ new hub for IT companies and software startups in SoCal MURRIETA - Novohit, a software company specializing in hotel and hospitality management, recently established its headquarters in Murrieta and has now created an IT and software start-up working space where like-minded “techy” folks can collaborate and thrive. The CoHive is a 1,800 square foot space in the heart of Murrieta, catering to the needs of entrepreneurs focused on IT and software development. The CoHive project hopes to meet several objectives: help to grow software startups in the Murrieta Valley, help to end the daily work commute that many local residents face, and to help

increase visibility of independent developers, designers, coders and their growing products. It is estimated that 30,000 vehicles per day leave the Murrieta/ Temecula area as their occupants head to high-tech jobs in San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and Riverside. Both the city of Murrieta and Novohit hope to solve this problem by fostering local start-ups. “We are very interested in creating jobs in the Murrieta region,” said Bruce Coleman, economic development director for Murrieta. “One of the ways we are doing this is by encouraging the growth

of start-ups in targeted industries. Novohit is on the right track with the CoHive and we want to help encourage them.” As part of their role to create jobs, Murrieta opened a business incubator in 2012, the Murrieta Innovation Center, for technology start-ups focused on medical and military applications. David Bertolini, vice president of Operations for Novohit and founder of the CoHive project, along with the city, believes that there is a synergy between the Murrieta Innovation Center, CoHIVE and another private business within the city, Coworking Connection.

“It is very important to create an environment conducive to entrepreneurial success,” Coleman said. “We believe that environment is growing stronger in Murrieta with the city’s incubator and the two private, collaborative spaces within the city.” Organizations such as InSoCal CONNECT, TriTech SBDC and BuildLeaders.org have launched concrete and effective initiatives that are sparking technology entrepreneurship in this area. Pitches

to angel investors, foreign direct investment opportunities and mentorship/continuing education are just a few of the benefits to start-up companies in Murrieta. CoHIVE offers 13 assignable desks, high-speed Wi-Fi and LAN access and an eight-person conference room. Projectors and sketch boards are available throughout the space to share ideas anywhere. The facility also offers private offices and dedicated Internet access as needed for larger startups.

International speaker shares 5 innovation killers that lurk within businesses

MONTEREY, CA- The work of innovative thinkers is why the world has smartphones, laptop computers, toaster ovens and numerous other gadgets and creative approaches to problem solving. Yet groundbreaking ideas aren’t always welcome in the corporate world or within other institutions. Instead, those who suggest a different approach often find their ideas shot down by co-workers or blocked by an organizational system that is unwelcoming to change, said international speaker and innovation consultant Dr. Neal Thornberry. That doesn’t mean innovation can’t happen, though. “The innovator needs to know how to operate in these less than friendly cultures without waiting for some miraculous transformation in corporate policy,”

said Thornberry, author of the book “Innovation Judo: Disarming Roadblocks and Blockheads on the Way to Creativity.” He said there are five innovation “killers” within organizations that a person with ideas can expect to confront. People Sometime it’s an individual, sometimes it’s a group. Regardless, people often resist innovation, and many times for illogical reasons. “The more rigid people reject innovation simply because they are uncomfortable with the new or don’t want to spend the energy to try something different,” Thornberry said. They may be quick to point out flaws in your ideas. One way to counteract that, Thornberry said, is to be your own

Great Oak High School celebrates Career and Technical Education Month Students show what they have been practicing in CTE classes TEMECULA - Students and faculty at Great Oak High School will join others across the nation during the month of February to celebrate national Career and Technical Education Month. This year’s theme is Recognizing Classroom Innovators! CTE Month provides CTE programs across the country an opportunity to demonstrate how CTE educates students to be college and career-ready and prepares them for high-wage, highdemand career fields. Among the special activities scheduled is an

annual CTE Showcase on Monday, Feb. 9 at the GOHS Performing Arts Center from 8:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. There will also be weekly CTE Alumni speakers all paired with “Get Job Ready” lessons throughout the month. “The activities planned over the next month will illustrate the rigor and relevance CTE courses offer our students,” said Dawn Maceyka, GOHS CTE department chair. “By partnering with the business community, CTE programs are investing in students’ lives with

the latest technology and skills that will prepare them to become successful employees as well as future leaders.” CTE encompasses 94 percent of high school students and 13 million postsecondary students in the United States and includes high schools, career centers, community and technical colleges, four-year universities and more. CTE is a major part of the solution to myriad national economic and workforce problems, such as high school dropout rates, a weakened

economy, global competitiveness and massive layoffs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly one-third of the fastest growing occupations will require an associate’s degree or a postsecondary vocational certificate. At a time when job opportunity is so critical, CTE programs in every community are ensuring students are adequately equipped with the skills to successfully enter the workforce. The GOHS and district CTE programs prepare students for meeting

current industry needs, life’s challenges, and life’s opportunities with a unified mission to empower students with skills for career opportunities, life-long learning, and productive citizenship. Programs offered at GOHS are Culinary, Fashion, Graphic Design, Architecture, Retail Merchandising, Video Productions and Early Childhood Education programs.

Abby Reinke Elementary School students rally for Odyssey of the Mind Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer There are two banners that hang in the Abby Reinke Elementary School, celebrating State Champions of 2013 and 2014’s Odyssey of the Mind academic program. Now, ARES’s team is once again preparing their problems and solutions for the regional intellectual team sport. “ARES has done well in the Odyssey program for several years,” stated PTA Program Coordinator Kelly Shire. “Our school has two Division I teams (grades 3-5) and two Division II primary teams (grades K-2). All of the kids are working hard on their problems, and solutions.” OOTM, according to Shire, is a way of teaching creative thinking and thinking out of the box in a structured setting. “It is a combination of both theater and engineering,” she said. The OOTM national board comes up with five problems a year. This year, problems include: Runaway Train, Experiencing

Technical Difficulties, Pandora’s OOTM team members practice Box, Lose Your Marbles, Silent regularly in this team sport. “The Movie, and Wacky Weather Warn- kids have to work together, first ing.

Stock up on safety gear before your next DIY project TEMECULA - Do-it-yourself, or DIY, projects around the house can give homeowners a more personal stake in their properties. Getting their own hands dirty when renovating a bathroom rather than paying a professional to do all that work gives many homeowners a strong sense of accomplishment while allowing them to learn a few things and save some money along the way. But whether homeowners have years of experience with regard to renovations or are about to embark on their first DIY adventure, safety should be a top priority. Securing the right safety equipment might not guarantee a DIY project comes out looking exactly as homeowners hope, but it can help protect DIYers

and their helpers from suffering injuries as they renovate their homes. The following is a list of some safety equipment all homeowners should have at the ready before beginning home improvement projects. First-aid kit: All homes should have a first-aid kit on hand, regardless of whether any renovations are in the offing. First-aid kits can help treat minor cuts and scrapes, but such kits also can be used to prevent more serious injuries from escalating in the time it takes to see a physician. When tackling a large DIY project, secure a well-stocked first-aid kit that includes more than just band-aids and adhesives. In addition to such items, a reliable first-aid kit should include antisep-

tic ointment, a chemical cold pack, cotton balls, eye drops, first-aid tape, needles, sterile gauze bandages, and tweezers. In addition, make sure the kit includes a first-aid handbook that contains instructions regarding the treatment of common injuries. Eyewear: Protective eyewear is essential when working on renovation projects. Safety goggles may suffice on smaller projects, but make sure the goggles fit well, as loose goggles will still allow debris into your eyes, and that debris can compromise your vision and result in injuries to your eyes. If you will be welding, be sure to wear proper welding goggles with adequate lens shading. Mask/respirator: Home renova-

Do-it-yourselfers should wear proper welding goggles and masks when home renovation projects require the use of a welding iron.

tion projects, especially those that involve taking down walls, can leave lungs susceptible to lung irritation and disease. But masks and respirators can protect the lungs. Cloth masks may be sufficient for smaller projects, while more significant undertakings may require the use of dual-cartridge respirators that provide added protection for sensitive lungs. Gloves: Hands also can take a beating during home improvement projects, so it’s important that DIYers find sturdy gloves to wear throughout their renovation efforts. While this may contradict the idea of getting your hands dirty, splintered, blistered hands are painful and susceptible to infection.

containing acid. Joint supports: Achy joints can make it difficult to effectively tackle DIY projects, so it’s important that you support your joints from start to finish. Knee and elbow pads can protect your joints as you spend time on your knees or crawling around while working on projects close to the ground. Back support: Many DIY projects involve lifting and transporting heavy objects, and men and women unused to such lifting can quickly suffer an injury if they are not adequately supporting their back. Wear a back brace and/or weight belt when lifting or moving heavy objects and don’t be afraid to ask for assistance if you find an object is too heavy to move on your own.

Real Estate / Home & Garden GARDENS from B-1 about some herbs? If you have lots of shade, mint is one of the tops I’d recommend and they’re perfect in a large pot. Chives, oregano, cilantro, and parsley, can all be grown with at least half a day of sun, even indoors next to a sunny window, just make sure they don’t get sun-scalded in the window and keep soil moist, not soggy. Don’t forget fertilizer for all your potted plants, since you are creating your own personal landscape here the plants depend on you for their food in the form of fertilizer. Always use one that’s

specifically for potted plants, and good potting soil, of course. Small trees and shrubs are not impossible either. You’ll find many varieties of fruit trees even come in miniature size, which are great for large pots, and they will still produce full size fruit for you. “Espaliering” is a way of training trees and shrubs to grow flat against a wall, actually quite attractive when done correctly. Check this site for instructions: www.gardeningknowhow.com/ garden-how-to/projects/espalierinstructions.htm. Always check the ultimate size of plants – should state on label –

Succulents do great indoors when placed in bright or sunny windows.

Think vertical when growing in small areas, good mounting hardware Courtesy photos is critical.

to make sure they won’t overgrow the space allotted to them. How about a Star Jasmine vine – up against the wall with a trellis to climb on? Not only fragrant when blooming but can take both sun and shade – very versatile vining plant. You could run a strong fishline back and forth in a zig zag pattern from floor to ceiling and allow vines to spread over the wall that way also. Since I am a landscape designer, as well as a gardener, I think not only of the plants, but the surrounding area as well. Seating is nice, a small table, and if possible some type of water element – bird bath or fountain. A hummingbird feeder is a great way to bring those cute little birds into your garden world and takes up very little space–they even have some that stick onto a window, so if you don’t even have a balcony–you can garden in a window and stick one of those little feeders up where you can enjoy the birds. Don’t forget when you’re gardening in an enclosed and/or limited space you will need to water regularly by hand. Either get one of those coiled hoses or a large watering can and remember to use it on a regular basis especially when it gets hotter out – those plants depend on you in order to survive. Gardening indoors requires light–preferably a south facing window, again, plants can be layered on a bakers’ rack so you can grow quite a few different plants. If you really start to get into it, you can buy special growing lights for plants–and stands for the plants and lights. I used to start many plants from seed indoors in the winter this way myself. Succulents do well in pots, many indoors, as long as they get at least some sun and preferably bright light. My echeverias seem to do best in partial shade outside actually, and full sun is sometimes too much for them, I have many growing indoors in pots near windows that do great–these are the one plants you don’t need to worry if you go a week without watering–overwatering is their number one cause of death actually, and they need little fertilizer, maybe once a year. You can also grow succulents on walls, it’s a little involved, I would recommend looking for a book on it, or going online to learn more, but that would be a beautiful way to grow them on a patio or balcony wall. Here’s one good site I found for you to check out www.bhg.com/ gardening/container/plans-ideas/ make-a-living-succulent-picture/. I’m out of room for this week. I hope I’ve convinced a few people that they can garden in a small space, indoors, or without any ground. Don’t forget we’re still in that darn drought and the water company’s paying us to remove lawn and replace with drought tolerant landscaping. I am available for design work so please check my website at www.uniquelandscapes.net or call me at (951) 764-4762. Until next week–happy gardening!

INNOVATION from page B-2 worst critic. Discover those flaws first and highlight them yourself. Then you can address how you plan to mitigate them, thus stealing the critics’ thunder, he said. Politics You can usually get around one or two individuals who try to block your idea, but it’s more challenging when the organization is rife with politics. “I hate working in highly politicized organizations,” Thornberry said. “They make work a lot harder and make you spend considerable time on nonvalue-adding activities.” In fact, Thornberry devotes an entire chapter in his book to “Right Mindedness” so that innovators practicing his seven secret judo skills are not seen as innovating for personal gain or exploitation, but as enablers of company success. Organizational design An out-of-whack organizational design usually is not generated on purpose or with malice, Thornberry said. Instead it develops over time, with one well-intentioned move after another leading to unintended consequences. Often the result is a proliferation of controls, along with structures and processes that create barriers

to innovation. When an idea is blocked by layers of decision-making, one solution is to use leverage, Thornberry said. Enlist the aid of a customer who would benefit from the innovation, he said, because paying customers have huge leverage. Company values Here the innovator has both a challenge and an opportunity. Many companies articulate their values, but don’t always live by them. “The upside for innovators is that values can be used as leverage for innovation even if they aren’t true,” Thornberry said. For example, if the company declares, “The customer is No. 1,” then it becomes difficult to ignore an innovation that is positioned as being for the customer. Corporate culture The corporate culture essentially is how the people, politics, organizational design and values interact. “The greatest challenge to any innovator, and to embedding and sustaining innovation over the long term, is culture,” Thornberry said. To make it even more challenging, often organizations have micro-cultures within the culture. That means, he said, you will need to adapt the use of innovation judo principles depending on which

micro-culture you are dealing with at any given moment. “Innovators throughout history have faced both roadblocks and blockheads on their path to creativity,” Thornberry said. “And so will you.” But with a little courage and some counterbalancing skills, he said, these challenges can be overcome. Thornberry is the founder and CEO of IMSTRAT, LLC a consulting firm that specializes in helping private and public sector organizations develop innovation strategies that create economic value by increasing an organization’s effectiveness and efficiency. A respected thought leader in innovation, Thornberry is a highly sought-after international speaker and consultant. He also serves as the faculty director for innovation initiatives at the Center for Executive Education at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Thornberry, author of “Innovation Judo: Disarming Roadblocks & Blockheads on the Path to Creativity” (www.NealThornberry.com), holds a doctorate in organizational psychology and specializes in innovation, corporate entrepreneurship, leadership and organizational transformation.

Tips for selling your house quickly agent, even if you start to feel as if your agent is now becoming tripe or counterintuitive. If he says you should paint a room, or the whole house it’s because he is looking at the big picture. If your agent suggests you lower your price, then lower the price…yes, you can get more by asking for less.

Mike Mason and John Occhi Special to the Valley News Read along and prepare yourself with these tips for selling your house quickly and you’ll be in escrow before you have to mow the lawn again. Of course, you’ll have to prepare yourself, your family and your home if you want to sell your house fast. To accomplish this, there are two very basic rules that you should follow early in the process of preparing to sell your house. Two rules to sell your house fast First rule is to find a seller’s agent that you trust and like. Selling your house fast requires teamwork and communication. Don’t let anyone hustle you with pie-in-the-sky promises they can’t deliver. You need to interview three highly regarded agents in your community before making a decision. Realize that the real estate agent you hire is a professional with a wealth of market knowledge, professional contacts and years of experience – all valuable resources who will be selling your house quickly, for the most money, with the least amount of stress to you and your family. If they are a true professional, they won’t have an issue with your careful consideration of the valuable information they have shared with you. Second rule is to listen to your realtor. Sure, you know your home but he knows how to sell your house. Remember, you chose your agent because he was the best and you like him; now you must trust your realtor. Since we have agreed that you will both trust and listen to your

Selling your house quickly Many professional realtors find that sellers have a universal set of obstacles to overcome which is counterproductive when they plead, “Sell my house quickly!” Learn from these examples. Price it right to sell your house fast In the competitive world or real estate, many agents believe that in order to obtain the listing they should always go in pushing the envelope to convince the sellers that they are such great agents that they will get the highest possible price, that they know what is best and how to sell your house. Hogwash. Let the market set the price and sell your house. You are much better off starting with a lower asking price than a higher one. A value that is set slightly (one percent to three percent) below the market value is much more likely to sell your house quickly and for more money than one priced at the very top of the market. Sure, many sellers believe they want room to negotiate and that if there is no action in a few weeks, they can always come down in price. The problem is that when you start high and lower the price, rarely do you get fair market value and even rarer that you’ll ever get to the number that you’ll get by starting low and letting anxious buyers bring the value up. Then the sellers end up blaming the agent and ask why she “can’t sell my house?” The best place to start is slightly below the lowest, most recent comp. Price your home too high and you’ll do nothing but scare off buyers. When offers do come

in, they’ll be low-ball offers anticipating your pain and eagerness to move. This is not how to sell a house. Be different to sell your home fast Sure, every realtor who wants to sell your home has a pitch that includes all of the latest gadgetry and electronic gizmos to tell the world about your home. There is no doubt, in this day and age that some of it is a necessity. In today’s internet society the home buyer public has access to information – too much information at times. Not everyone who reads MLS data fully understands what they are reading, regardless of how a third party web site massages it and presents it. This information overload actually slows down the process as home buyers often feel the need to “go back” and research this and that. Many top agents will agree keeping it simple is better. See if the agents you interview might have some “old school” real estate sales techniques up his sleeve that can make your listing stand out from the crowd. Home repair can help sell your home fast While a well maintained home will always appeal more to a home buyer than one a shabby home that has not been taken care of in years; home renovations are not always the cure-all to selling your house quickly. Rarely does the cost of a home renovation ever get recovered by the home seller, yet almost every seller tells every realtor who will listen to them, how they spent $25,000 on this project and $10,000 on that one and so their home has to be worth at least $35,000 more than the neighbors down the street, who have never done anything to improve their house. Sure a coat of paint and new carpet take care of many obstacles to a prospective buyer, but all it does is

maintain the status quo. It’s better to have the fresh and new, because that’s what the buyers expect – they won’t necessary give you more. However, they won’t be kicking the tires either saying “there is so much work to be done” to justify the lowball offer they presented. It all makes a difference Don’t interpret this article as the simple three-step process of selling your house quickly as the be-all to end-all magic bullet that will sell your home in a week, it’s not. However, stray from these guidelines and you just may find yourself revisiting this article in

a month or two down the road, scratching your head wondering why “selling my house quickly” was such a foreign concept. Call us today and get the information you need to make the right decision.

TVHS Wrestlers win 27th straight title, head into League finals as Southwestern League Champs Four different local schools capture league titles in Finals meet

Nate Gardner, seen here wining by pin over Fagan from Vista Murrieta in the 138 pound weight class, helped the Temecula Valley Golden Bears win their 27th consecutive league dual championship.

JP Raineri Sports / Multimedia Editor Where most schools rely heavily on their football programs to put them on the map, Temecula Valley High School, which has seen its fair share of success when it’s comes to CIF Championships in many sports, takes much pride in being known nationally for their wrestling program. Last Tuesday, the Golden Bears brought a 26-year streak of league dual championships, 17 of which are in the Southwestern League, into an all-out, knock-down, drag-

out fight against Vista Murrieta, where they came out on top, winning 37-22, making it their 27th. Temecula Valley was leading 31-0 after Damion Lee’s 8-4 decision over Kevin Oswald in 182 weight class, but Vista Murrieta fought back with wins in the next four matches. Rochaun Wagstaff’s major decision at 222 made it 31-7 and Harrison Morgan rallied for a pin at heavyweight to make the score 31-13. Johnny Gill scored a firstperiod pin at 108 and Ryan Stewart followed that with a decision to bring Vista Murrieta within 9 points with two matches to go.

The Golden Bears defeated Vista Murrieta in last week’s league dual championship, 37Susanne O’Hara photos 22, giving them their 27th consecutive league title.

Needing just a normal decision to seal the win, one of the last two wrestlers to make a go of it, Jared Root took the mat and helped bring home the Golden Bears 27th straight League Dual Championship. “The boys might have been nervous, but they didn’t show it. The Broncos have a strong team, and I couldn’t be more proud of the boys that closed the door for us,” Temecula Valley’s co-coach Arnold Alpert said. Both teams rode the intensity into the Southwestern League Finals over this past weekend where Temecula Valley and Vista Murrieta

each claimed championships in five weight divisions. Temecula Valley qualified 13 wrestlers to the CIF-SS Individual Inland Division tournament next week and won the team scoring component of the event, besting Vista Murrieta by 53 points. Great Oak’s Mike Colello and Temecula Valley’s Josh Cortez earned the tournament’s ‘Most Outstanding Wrestler’ honors. Cortez also earned his fourth consecutive league title in the 138-pound division, scoring an 8-2 decision over Vista Murrieta’s Jacob Cooper. Colello took hold of the 195-pound title with a decision over Vista Mur-

rieta’s Rachaun Wagstaff, while his teammate Michael Diaz took the title in the 220-pound division. The Broncos’ five league titles, which are the most in the school’s history, came from Ryan Stewart(113), Kyle Takahama (126), Anthony Orozco (145), Xavier Driskell (152) and Harrison Morgan (HW).Temecula Valley’s other league championships came from Jared Root (120),Christian Mateos (132), Paul Monteforte (170), and Damien Lee (182). Murrieta Mesa’s Brandon Dristy won the 106-pound title, while Chaparral’s Garrett Strang used a fall to claim the 160-pound championship.

JP Raineri Sports/Multimedia Editor The Farmers Insurance Open was held at Torrey Pines last week. At the conclusion of the tournament, which was won by Australian pro-

fessional golfer Jason Day, the PGA Tour recognized Temecula resident Jerry Kenan as the Volunteer Challenge winner. Kenan dedicated a great deal of time and energy to help make the golf tournament a success. Kenan, along with wife Bonnie,

presented a $10,000 check to The Century Club of San Diego, Inc., on behalf of Astellas, as part of the company’s commitment to health and the community. The donation honors Kenan for winning the PGA Tour’s Volunteer Challenge, which was sponsored by Myrbetriq.

Health

Heart Month focuses on women’s health American Heart Association Special to the Valley News Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in women. Yet, only one in five American women believe that heart disease is her greatest health threat. During National Heart Month, celebrated every year during February, the American Heart Association focuses specifically on targeting women about their health through their campaign Go Red For Women. The truth is, women are less likely to call 911 when experiencing symptoms of a heart attack themselves. It simply doesn’t occur to them to do so. And why would it? The bulk of media attention on the disease is focused on men. Here are more unsettling facts: Heart disease causes one in three women’s deaths each year, killing approximately one woman every minute; 90 percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease; and since 1984,

more women than men have died each year from heart disease and the gap between men and women’s survival continues to widen. The symptoms of heart disease can be different in women vs. men, and are often misunderstood. While one in 31 American women dies from breast cancer each year, one in three dies of heart disease. Many things can put women at risk for cardiovascular diseases – one’s that can be controlled, and others that can’t. But the key takeaway is that with the right information, education and care, heart disease in women can be treated, prevented and even ended. A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best weapons to fight cardiovascular disease, with are part of the American Heart Association seven simple steps to improve your and your family’s heart health. Get active Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity each day,

five times a week. Eat better A heart-healthy diet is low in saturated and trans fat, cholesterol, sodium and added sugars and high in a variety fruits and vegetables, whole grain fiber and lean protein. Maintain a healthy weight If your BMI is 25.0 or higher, you will benefit by bringing your number below 25. Don’t smoke To live a long and healthy life, breaking the nicotine addiction will be very important. Manage blood pressure Aim for blood pressure levels of less than 120/80. Control cholesterol Keep LDL or bad cholesterol levels below 100 mg/dL, HDL or good cholesterol above 40 mg/dL for men and 50 mg/dL for women,

and triglycerides under 100 mg/dL Reduce blood sugar A fasting blood sugar level below 100 mg/dL is considered ideal. Studies show that healthy choices have resulted in 330 fewer women

dying from heart disease per day. The take-away during this month is that women should not feel like helpless victims, or ignore their bodies, but that they empower themselves to make the changes that will extend the span and quality of their life.

purchased for 2014 on the ObamaCare Exchanges could be in for a big shock, warned Dr. David Hogberg, senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research. “Because of the way the subsidy mechanism works, some consumers could see an exorbitant increase in premiums,” Hogberg said. “For example, a 27-year-old single person in Denver, Colorado making $25,000 annually who bought the cheapest bronze plan would pay $535 more this year. A 57-year-old couple in Miami, Florida earning $50,000 annually who did the same would pay $1,548 more. “The worst area was Jackson, Mississippi, where a 27-year-old earning $25,000 who kept the cheapest bronze plan would pay $1,168 more and a 57-year-old couple earning $50,000 would pay $3,282 more,” he said. In the study, “Three Ways Consumers Could Pay Exorbitantly Higher Premiums on the ObamaCare Exchanges in 2015,” Hogberg explained how this can happen. To see how an area in your state fared, see Tables 5 and 6 near the end of the study. “The subsidy is based, in part, on the second lowest-cost silver plan on

Hogberg said. “Consumers in those exchanges are the most at risk, but even consumers on exchanges where the second-lowest cost silver plan increases, thereby increasing the subsidy, are not necessarily safe from substantial premium increases.” First, consumers who qualified for a subsidy in 2014 will see their subsidy decline in 2015 if they are on an exchange in which the price of the second-lowest cost silver plan declines. If they also have a policy that has increased in price, then they will pay higher premiums. That is what happened in Jackson, Mississippi where, for a 27-year-old, the subsidy dropped by $83 per month and the cheapest bronze plan rose by $14 a per month. That resulted in a monthly premium increase of $97, or about $1,168 annually. Second, consumers on an exchange in which the price of the second-lowest cost silver plan declined could pay higher premiums if they had a policy that decreased in price but did not decrease as much as the price of the second-lowest cost silver plan. That happened in New Hampshire. For a 57-year-old couple, the subsidy declined $163 per month while the bronze plan dropped $11 per month, resulting in a premium

Finally, it is even possible for consumers to pay higher premiums on an exchange in which the subsidies increased. Consumers on those exchanges who own a policy that increases more than the subsidy will pay higher premiums. In Miami, a 57-year-old couple with the cheapest bronze plan in 2014 saw a monthly premium increase of $129 ($1,548 annually) because the subsidy increased $18 per month but the cheapest bronze plan rose $147 per month. “Consumers facing such increases will either have to find room in their budgets or deal with the hassle of changing insurance plans,” Hogberg said. “And, as the study also shows, switching plans is no guarantee that a consumer won’t still pay more than he or she did last year.” The National Center for Public Policy Research, founded in 1982, is a nonpartisan, free-market, independent conservative think-tank. Ninety-four percent of its support comes from individuals, less than four percent from foundations, and less than two percent from corporations. It receives over 350,000 individual contributions a year from over 96,000 active recent contributors. Contributions are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated.

7:00am-8:00am 8:00am-9:00am EPA ratings are very achievable in Eco mode, but the nimble, sporty car just begs to be driven in a more spirited manner. The back seats can fit three, but are not well-suited for taller passengers due to the lower roofline. The cargo area has a twostage floor with a removable organizer as well as fold-flat rear seats. We had no problem carrying bundles of newspapers, jackets and a Walmart load of groceries as well as four adult passengers. The navigation system is high-tech and the premium sound system easily drowns out offkey group sing-alongs – perfect for road trips! If a fun, sporty yet fuel-efficient experience in a stylish compact crossover design is important to you, you should check out the 2015 Nismo Juke RS. Drive one home today at Temecula Nissan, 41895 Motor Car Parkway, Temecula, CA 92591. (866) 216-2124.

The interior features sporty two-toned Recaro racing seats.

brake calipers, 18” alloy wheels, LED running lights at the air intakes and discreet Nismo RS badges distinguish this version from the other trim levels (S, SV, SL). The inside also features sporty styling: twotoned Recaro racing seats, a performanceoriented steering wheel, pedals, gauges, gear knob and carbon fiber-inspired trims. Getting in and out of the bucket seats took some getting used to, but the side bolsters definitely held me in place as I tossed the road-hugging all-wheel drive Juke through the twists and turns of Rainbow Canyon Road. The responsive electric-assist steering and non-lag throttle response of the turbocharged 1.6 liter four cylinder tied to a six-speed manual transmission easily pegged the g-force meter time and time again. This was a fun car to drive at its limits. Other unique displays include turbo boost, torque, and various fuel curve breakdowns. The integrated Control System has four driving modes (Normal, Sport, Eco, and D-Mode) allowing drivers to customize the behind-thewheel experience. The 27/32

2015 Nissan with unique information panels. This is an extreme version of the popular head-turning Juke compact crossover. I felt younger and more “with it” around this car.
