Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Leaders of the Regional Homeless Alliance are calling upon faithbased churches and organizations in five Southwestern Riverside County cities to step up their efforts

in helping the homeless in their communities.

The RHA invited leaders from faith-based organizations in Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake and Menifee to the Temecula City Hall convention room Monday, Feb.

26, to discuss the ways to help the homeless and learn about the established homeless help programs available.

Attending were representatives from the cities, about a dozen area churches, law enforcement officers, park rangers, county officials

For Murrieta native Rachel “Wildee” Fusaro music is life. That passion is what led the 29-year-old former submarine builder and Murrieta Valley graduate to audition for Season 14 of NBC’s hit show “The Voice.”

Fusaro, who didn’t make it through the blind auditions, said she was eagerly anticipating the experience and looking forward to sharing her music.

Coach Blake Shelton told her he wished she had put together a “more start to solid finish audition.”

“I think you have the talent to be on this show,” he said.

Fusaro isn’t new to the music scene. She has performed and toured with Eric Church, Billy Currington and Billy Gilman.

In addition to spending time on Murrieta native Rachel Fusaro, otherwise known as Wildee, appeared on Season 14 of NBC’s “The Voice.”

Hot rods rumble down Front Street in Old Town Temecula during the “Friday Night Cruise” event at the 2016 Rod Run. Shane Gibson photo

Old Town Temecula will once again turn into a classic car enthusiast’s playground when the Rod Run rolls into town on Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3.

There will be 610 cars in 21 categories on display over the course of the two-day event as well as vendors and sponsor booths. The classic cars will be from the 1920s through 1975.

The event will kick off from 5-8 p.m. Friday with the “Cruise Around Old Town,” in which Old Town Temecula’s front street will be “locked down” from arch to arch as hundreds of classic cars travel down it, honking their horns and

revving their engines, according to the city’s website.

The cars will be out on display all around Old Town from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Many of the cars’ owners display information about them and how they were restored, wrote Temecula Community Service Manager Dawn Adamiak in an email.

“Some cars you will see at the show have been used in films and TV commercials,” she wrote.

Along Old Town’s main street the city will have food, promotional booths and sales of auto-related merchandise, according to Adamiak.

Self storage project gets planning commission approval in Wildomar Alex Groves ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A self-storage project slated for a 9.75-acre parcel of land in Wildomar is headed to the city council now that it’s been approved by members of the Wildomar Planning Commission during their first meeting of the year on Feb. 21.

The commission voted (3-0), with commissioners Mason Ballard and Kim Strong absent, to approve a series of resolutions recommending city council approval of the Smith Ranch Self Storage Project slated for the southwest corner of Smith Ranch and Clinton Keith roads.

The project would take up 172,398 square feet of office and storage space in eight different buildings on the property.

Building “A,” facing Clinton Keith Road, would use 5,987 square feet of space for office space and a visitors’ waiting area. Another 6,598 square feet in that building would be used for 106 leasable storage units ranging in size from 25 -150 square feet.

Sam Yoo of Sunny Sage, LLC, the project applicant, explained what some of the office space would be used for to the planning commission.

“It’s a family business and right now our headquarters are in Temecula,” Yoo said. “The office component of the project is going to be our future corporate headquarters, so we are planning on keeping this property for future generations.”

Buildings B-H will be divided into

1,195 leasable storage units ranging in size from 25 to 500 square feet.

Some units will be air-conditioned; some will not. There will also be 66 RV spaces at the rear of the property.

The project would be built in three different phases.

Because the project is near a residential area, the Clayton Ranch neighborhood, Yoo told the commission that it was thoroughly vetted with residents there.

“We had probably a series of 14 different meetings with the community and we hosted a dinner where we sent out an invitation to all the adjacent community members in Clayton Ranch and we actually had a pretty good turnout there was about 30 residents who showed up and through that process I believe we were able to address a lot of the feedback and issues that they had.”

Planning Commission Chair John Lloyd raised concerns that one of the buildings would only be set back 2 feet from an adjacent property line and raised concerns that could make maintenance of the building difficult.

“When they need to paint that wall, how are they going to take care of the maintenance and paint that wall?”

Lloyd asked. “It’s too skinny to put a ladder in a two foot zone.”

An attorney for the applicant told members of the council they would be happy to accept a condition that there be some system in place for maintaining the facade of the building in that limited space before the project’s final approval.

The commission also approved recommending a zone change for a parcel of land at the northeast corner of Stable Lanes and Clinton Keith roads from rural residential to commercial to be in accordance with the city’s general plan.

Several residents of a nearby residential neighborhood expressed concern about the idea that a shopping center could abut their neighborhood, saying it could increase traffic, draw homeless individuals to the area and decrease property values.

Lloyd addressed some of the concerns with the zone change, saying

that a commercial land use was what was already intended in the city’s general plan. The change, he said, was just to reflect that.

“The plan for that property since the general plan was adopted has been for it to be commercial, so that’s what the property owners have been planning on,” he said. “They’ve been planning on it eventually being a commercial property and this is the next step for them to request the official conversion.”

Planning Director Matthew Bassi said that the proposal was just to change the zone from residential to

commercial and not to approve any specific project. Any commercial project such as a shopping center or restaurant would need to go through environmental reviews and studies, he said.

Bassi said the zone change would be cemented by the city council during a March 14 meeting and said that people who were against it would have one more chance to voice that then.

Assemblywoman Marie Waldron announces introduction of measure to help fire victims who lost their homes SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, announced that she is authoring Assembly Constitutional Amendment 24 to provide relief for the property owners who were affected by the devastating wildfires last year, and the mudslides that followed. Jerome E. Horton, 3rd District board member of the state Board of Equalization is the primary sponsor of the measure.

The amendment will allow the application of base-year value

transfers to a replacement home in any county for individuals whose home was substantially damaged or destroyed in a governor-declared disaster occurring between Jan. 1, 2017, and June 30, 2018.

Over the last year, California has suffered a number of devastating natural disasters across the state, including the Lilac Fire in the 75th Assembly district, displacing residents and destroying homes.

As a result, residents are forced to move out of their communities and

relocate due to the devastation and uncertainty surrounding their old communities. In an effort to alleviate hardships caused by fire, flooding and mud slides, the amendment seeks to allow homeowners to transfer their base-year value to a replacement home.

“We must help our residents who lost everything due to the natural disasters that ravished our great state.” Waldron said. “This ACA will help them rebuild their lives.”

Natural disasters bring great

damage, loss, destruction and devastation to life, property and infrastructure. Last year was no exception for California, specifically with the unprecedented wildfires and mudslides that have created challenges for many local communities. In the aftermath of these disasters, rebuilding can take several months to several years to navigate the process.

“California, while rich in resources, has the highest poverty rate in the country. It is my duty

as an elected official to support policies that help the state’s most vulnerable and those in need, and ACA-24 lends support to the thousands displaced by last year’s disasters,” Horton said.

Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

Temecula Valley Unified School District students plan walkouts in response to Parkland, Florida, shooting Stephanie Lai INTERN

In wake of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting incident, students across the nation, including Temecula Valley Unified School District, have planned various school walkouts. Laura Boss, the district’s public information officer, sent out correspondence about the first scheduled walkout, Feb. 21, at noon.

The school walkouts lasted 17 minutes, representing the 17 lives that were lost in the Florida shooting. The district acknowledged that they could not prevent students from walking out and exercising their freedom of speech rights, and that their main goal for the walkout was to keep the students safe.

Students and TVUSD families were informed that if a student chose to leave the campus and not return, regular absence and discipline procedures would apply. The district did not encourage participation rather they encouraged students to remain on campus where they could be supervised. Additionally, school resource officers were present at each high school.

According to Boss, the local middle schools had minimal participation that remained supervised on campus, and the high schools were also supervised. In total, about 340 of the 15,000 secondary students participated. Before the

spontaneous walkout, secondary school’s coordinated supervision and worked with the students to confirm a predetermined location on campus where they could convene and had a check-in system for attendance.

Boss also commented on the misconceptions about the walkout procedure.

“We are closed campuses, and there are structures in place to account for students’ safety and that they are where they should be. However, as shared before, we will not forcibly stop a student.

This is the same level of response we would provide on any given instructional day,” Boss said in email announcements to parents.

In the recent protest, TVUSD did not encounter any notable issues beyond several students leaving school for the remainder of the school day. Their absences are addressed by school administrators in the usual way.

Great Oak High School senior Rylan Vandersluis, who was one of the main organizers of the 40-student protest said, “I’m tired of going to school every day in fear of death, flinching when a door opens and shuddering when I see someone with a duffle bag walk through the middle of campus. This protest was important because no one is going to stand up for what you believe in besides yourself.”

According to Vandersluis, 13 students continued protesting beyond lunchtime, but the main protest group remained on campus.

According to district correspondence, “Our students have a powerful voice that can affect change, and it is our duty as educators to support our students as they grapple with violence, death and mental illness.”

The district hopes to use the protest as an opportunity for the district to provide guidance on civic engagement and political awareness, according to Boss.

Boss said their aim is to uphold student’s safety in future walkouts as well, such as March 14 and April 20. The event, March 14, is organized by the Women’s March organizers to protest gun violence, and the event planned for April 20 will mark 19 years since the shooting at Columbine High School. The district currently has not finalized plans for the upcoming dates, but it will continue to send correspondence to TVUSD families, students and staff before the upcoming walkout dates. The next step, the district said, is to continue planning with secondary school administrators to develop plans for the two upcoming dates with a focus on safety, continuation of school operation and student rights.

HOMELESS from page A-1 homeless, led the forum and discussions. Robin Gilliland from the Regional Homeless Alliance explained how the group has been conducting meetings in the alliance cities to assess what services and help in the area for the homeless population.

Gilliland noted that faith-based churches and nonprofits are critical to helping the many homeless people in the region and RHA has resource information available to help those homeless in greatest need. She said while the RHA discourages the random giving of money to panhandlers and others taking advantage of the public but encouraging caring responsible residents to donate to known nonprofits or churches dedicated to providing services to the homeless. Their theme is “Responsible Compassion.”

Brian Ambrose, assistant to the city manager in Murrieta, spoke of his involvement with the RHA and has learned the greatest need for the homeless in the region is not food pantries but mental health facilities and day care for their children.

“We are in desperate need of churches and faith-based organizations to come in and fill that gap right now,” Ambrose said.

Ambrose showed the results of a recent assessment made of needs of the homeless in the region showing the levels of service extend to the homeless and with food being the least on the chart.

Gilliland spoke on Temecula’s efforts to help the estimated 65 to 70 homeless in her city. She urged residents not to hand out money to the panhandlers or homeless on the streets, but to donate to organizations that are dedicated to helping the homeless like many of the churches in the area.

“Faith-based organizations are critical for our success,” Gilliland said.

Alliance representatives included Janet Morales from Wildomar; Jason Hendrix from Menifee; and Nicole Dailey from Lake Elsinore also outlined the numbers and needs of the homeless in their cities and a little of what is being done for them, but all called upon the churches and faith-based organizations to help find ways they can better serve the homeless.

Fieldhouse further explained how federal government agencies defined homelessness and how that affects funding to states, counties and cities.

HUD defines homelessness as a person or persons who are in a homeless shelter or residential program; on the streets; in and abandoned building; in public parks; camping in a riverbed, foothills, freeway offramps; or in a car.

The department of education sees it differently. A person or persons defined as homeless by the DOE is living in a motel, a garage or sheltered place not up to code; ‘couch surfing’ at a friend or relatives’ apartment; “doubled-up” in a house

Jury finds man guilty of murder in Temecula CVS attack Alex Groves ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A man who fatally struck a Temecula woman with a liquor bottle in a random attack at a Temecula CVS Pharmacy in 2016 was found guilty Monday of first degree murder.

Brian Eldon Saylor, 32, was convicted by a jury in the slaying of 54-year-old Tammy Serrano after about 90 minutes of deliberation, wrote Riverside County District At-

torney’s Office spokesman John Hall in a news release.

Serrano and her adult daughter had gone to the CVS Pharmacy at 31771 Rancho California Road June 13, 2016, to buy makeup while her daughter was visiting on a break from Arizona State University.

Saylor, who was at the adjacent checkout counter to them, grabbed a 750 milliliter bottle of Jim Beam bourbon and struck Serrano over the head with it.

“The victim fell to the floor and never again regained consciousness,” the release says. “After the random attack, Saylor walked outside, smoked a cigarette, and waited until Temecula police officers arrived to arrest him.”

According to witness testimony and camera surveillance, there had been no interaction between Serrano and Saylor before the attack.

Surveillance showed that Saylor had picked up the bottle at least once before and turned his entire body toward Serrano before putting it down. Moments later he picked up the bottle again and struck Serrano on the left side of her head.

This is the second time Saylor was tried for murder.

During the first trial last year, jurors who wished to convict Saylor in the crime had a choice between first degree murder, second degree murder or a lesser crime such as involuntary manslaughter.

A mistrial was declared after that jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of a first degree conviction. It’s unclear

VOICE from page A-1 “The Voice,” Fusaro will be featured on the Keith Urban GraffitiU world tour later this year.

“I haven’t met him yet, but I hear he is the nicest guy to up and coming artists and is really paying it forward behind the scenes in this industry which is really cool to see,” Fusaro said.

Fusaro said she knew she wanted to pursue music as a career since she was a little girl.

“My grandfather was a big influence from a country music perspective,” she explained. “He didn’t have a career in music, but he would just play and sing, and I was drawn to that.”

Fusaro got her start in Murrieta, where she grew up. She began taking lessons when she was 9 years old and began performing at local town shows and fairs. She even played the Wagon Wheel Music Festival in Lake Elsinore with Jason Aldean.

From there she began to branch out playing to large audiences singing the national anthem for everyone from the Los Angeles Lakers and the

what the holdout juror was in favor of.

Saylor represented himself in both trials.

Before first trial, Saylor’s attorney, Brian Cosgrove, held a mental competency hearing over concerns that Saylor might not be able to understand the events of the trial or aid in his own defense. After being found competent, Saylor dismissed Cosgrove and began representing himself.

During that trial he delivered confusing opening statements and examined witnesses in a way that drew frequent objections from the prosecution and admonitions from Superior Court Judge John M. Monterosso.

During deliberations, Saylor changed pace and requested an attorney from the Public Defender’s Office, then changed his mind again for the next trial -- deciding once more to represent himself.

Saylor faces a sentence of 25 years to life. He scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Stephen Gallon

March 16, at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta.

Dodgers to NASCAR audiences.

She even toured Temecula Valley Wine Country with her band, sometimes performing three gigs in a day.

“I started doing everything I could,” she said, adding that she was still in school at the time. “I got my business degree along the way, but music was just something that was always a part of my life.”

At 26, Fusaro got married. She and her husband moved to Rhode Island where they both worked for General Dynamics building submarines. Her husband was a high-level program analyst; she bought missile tubes.

“Moving away from Southern California was a very pivotal moment for me because I was now in my late 20s, getting married ...

I moved away from everything I built as far as music goes,” she said.

“I stopped music for about a year. I didn’t really pursue it.”

Fusaro had an epiphany about a year ago and told her husband, “I’m not done with music. I can’t let it go; this just doesn’t feel right.”

“Something just clicked,” she said. “I feel like if you work hard it

you can achieve anything.”

Fusaro contacted musicians in New England and began booking shows, building submarines by day and performing at night.

She went to Los Angeles and recorded an EP, and while she was there, she auditioned for “The Voice,” making it through to the blind auditions.

“I feel like if you work hard it you can achieve anything,” she said. “You really have no limits in this life.”

Now the songstress, who is releasing her first single “Burn” in April, and her husband call Nashville home.

Fusaro is booked at the iconic Bluebird Cafe later this month and can be seen performing throughout the Nashville area and on her you tube channel at www.youtube. com/channel/UCZsn_wEu1nQvrnmJo_lG3Jg. For more information, including where to purchase her music, visit www.wildeemusic.com.

Women find inspiration at San Jacinto Valley Women’s Conference 2018 Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Country Club of Soboba Spring’s Palm Room came to life with more than 250 women clapping and dancing to celebrate what they learned at the seventh annual San Jacinto Valley Women’s Conference, Feb. 22.

Each of the women from all over southwest Riverside County from homemakers to successful business owners and social service members gathered to take part in the conference, entitled “The Power of You,” sponsored by the SJVWC. The group’s only purpose is to encourage women to achieve and give out scholarships and grants to women on the rise in business or school.

A line up of top women achievers and one male accountant each gave their testimony and encouraged other women to achieve in every chosen field no matter what life circumstances they have experienced.

“This is for women who want to raise their game,” Dee Cozart, SJVWC board member and Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce CEO and president, said. “The whole purpose of this conference is that we want to expand women’s ability to network with each other.

Provide the educational health information, financial instruction opportunities and inspiration that fire and connection a good speaker can give you.”

The speakers for this year’s conference included Master of Ceremonies Cesaria Hernandez, Dolores Badillo, Mary Wall, Wendy Zinn, Sarah Rudder, Niketa Calame, Kelly Tovey, Jonathan Sposato and Sanie Muringani.

“I was so inspired by the speakers and their quality,” Hernandez said. “The information was amazing. Every year this conference gets better and better.”

Hernandez is a co-host of The Valley Connection on cable TV, a member of the Ramona Play cast for six seasons and a featured guest of “The Show with Oprah.” Hernandez, a strong advocate against domestic violence, introduced the other conference speakers.

Dolores Badillo, who has spent three decades working on newspapers, school districts, a trash company and television stations and now works as senior analyst with the Western Riverside Council of Governments, told of her ups and downs in marriage and raising her two sons. She said she hoped her message will help every woman maintain her health, dignity, sanity and power as she continues to lead her own life’s adventure.

Mary Walls, an educational programmer and professional developer and currently a California Regional Environment Education Community Network coordinator, urged the women to pursue their educations to fullest and be creative in their work.

Wendy Zinn, owner and cofounder of Camp Summit for the Gifted, Talented and Creative and Curiosity Quest Problem Solvers, said her success has been in helping others discover potential with a focus on the environment.

Sarah Rudder was a Marine who lost her leg in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. She stood out at the conference as an exceptional example of “The Power of You” for the women. She recalled her experience at overcoming the loss of a limb to become a part of the militaries “Wounded Warrior” program that paved her way to compete in the Invictus Games created by Britain’s Prince Harry.

Now she continues to compete in many sports events and encourages women that just because they may be disabled, there is no reason for them not to go out and put their heart and soul in any endeavor they wish.

Niketa Calame, known at the voice of “Young Nala” in Disney’s 32nd animated film “The Lion King,” spoke. She recalled her many achievements even with diabetes that continues to threaten her health. The actress, creative director and producer and adjunct professor is in her fourth year as an advocate of the American Diabetes Association and will be appearing before Congress in Washington this year.

Kelly Tovey spoke of her journey as a woman whose love and passion for martial arts led her to earn the title of the youngest person ever to have a fifth degree black belt within the Yamashita International system and is known to her Temecula martial arts school students as “Sensei Kelly.” She said her pursuit of martial arts was the reason for keeping her

on the right path during her teen years. She continues to train with the martial arts master “Hanshi” Tadashi Yamashita.

Jonathon Sposato brought a strong applause as he took the speakers stand. The chairman and co-founder of Geekwire.com, one of the tech sector’s top news sites and chairman and co-founder of PicMonkey, a photo editing site, is focused on hiring only women in his companies. From his success in the technology world, he has become the first to reportedly invest in newer women-led organizations.

He is also the founder of WeCount.org, the first nonprofit to apply smartphone technologies to help the homeless receive items critical to their survival on the streets.

Finally, Sanie Muringani took the stage and promptly had all the women standing, clapping and dancing to begin her fashion show on how to dress for success with models from the audience and local schools. Her “Dress for Success Riverside” platform helps women to access professional attire, learn professional skills, financial management and become self-sufficient. She had the women shouting, “WOW, I look great!”

Linda Grelich of Golden Era Productions San Jacinto was the producer of this year’s event, and she said the conference continues to grow each year and encourages all women to attend if possible.

Sheila Stillman, the conference public relations officer, said the conference is an effort to reach

the “underserved” area of women students and those seeking to advance their careers with valuable scholarships and grants to find their way. She said the program reaches out to women as far as Anza and Riverside, noting a woman from Anza was the recent recipient of a SJVWC scholarship to Mt. San Jacinto College. All proceeds from

the conference go toward scholarships and grants for deserving women.

Murrieta looks at funding for city fire department Will Fritz INTERN

The Murrieta City Council agreed at its Feb. 20 meeting to take a look at funding the Murrieta Fire District through the city’s general fund.

Currently, the fire district – which predates the city of Murrieta by more than 40 years and is technically separate – is funded through property taxes and a rooftop tax.

The push came from Councilman Alan Long, who is himself an Anaheim firefighter, while the council was discussing a midyear budget adjustment that included a $317,000 amount to transfer to the fire department from the city’s general fund for maintenance and repairs.

Long suggested creating a permanent provision to fund the fire department from the general fund.

“You have to understand how the fire dept. budget is derived,” Long said. “They are a district, and they are separate, and they do come directly from property taxes and the rooftop tax, but that is it.

“We’ve been led to believe for many years on this council that they are on their own. They’re funded separately, and the general fund is somewhat taboo.

They don’t get to dip into that,” Long said. “But other cities do.

And here’s why it’s important.

As we grow and our city becomes dependent on sales tax and (hotel taxes), fire is excluded from that, so as their demand goes up because of all of these things, they are not allowed to touch it unless we create this avenue in a line item that we can put funds into.”

He said the city can’t continue to expect the fire department to perform at a high level without committing more funds to it.

“They’re underfunded today.

They’re certainly going to be underfunded tomorrow unless we create an avenue to take from the general fund and appropriate it to the fire fund to mitigate this impact,” he said. “That’s what I’m suggesting. This $317,000 came out, and it was a perfect example for me to portray how you can do that. Today it’s for maintenance, but in the future I imagine, it’s going to be for other demands.”

Other councilmembers agreed, but wondered if a midyear budget adjustment was the right time to make such a change.

“My thoughts are that we’re trying to tell experts how to do their budgets,” Councilman Kelly Seyarto said. “The policy, if you want

Hotels, condos could be coming to Old Town lot

to talk about policy, which is what I think you’re talking about, then that’s a discussion for another day.

And I’d be happy to entertain that.”

The city attorney also suggested moving the discussion on the matter to a later date when the annual budget is being discussed.

Long said he thought the council should take action immediately.

“I can say I don’t like $317,000.

I can say take $50,000 from over here and put it here,” Long said. “I can do that. I’ve seen that done at other cities.”

Ultimately, Councilman Randon Lane made the motion to make no changes to the budget adjustment, but to discuss adding a provision to fund the fire department from the general fund at a later date.

Fire Chief Scott Ferguson thanked the council for the consideration.

“I just want to say I believe this is historic from the fire department’s standpoint,” he said. “We really appreciate the nature of the discussion. We’ll be prepared for your next budget workshop with all the detail you’ll need to make a healthy decision.”

Will Fritz can be contacted by email at valleystaff@reedermedia. com.

Alex Groves ASSOCIATE EDITOR

An Old Town Temecula dirt lot could be getting a 71,485-squarefoot Spanish-style building with hotel rooms and possibly condominiums as well.

The project, proposed for the corner of Mercedes and Fourth streets, currently calls for four story building with 70 hotel rooms for the first three floors and 17 condominiums for the fourth floor.

The applicant for the project has also devised an alternate proposal in which all four floors of the building would be used for exclusively for hotel rooms, but that would require the city council to make an amendment to the Old Town Specific Plan.

The plan currently requires that for a four story building to be built in Old Town, one of the floors has to be used for residences or office space with parking.

The building, described as Andalusian style with elements of Spanish Renaissance, would also have Mission Revival elements to fit the character of the city’s historic district. It would have smooth stucco finishes, an s-shaped clay tile roof and ceramic accents among other items.

The building’s amenities include an outdoor pool, lobby, courtyard, a gym, underground parking and space for an outdoor restaurant.

Valet parking – at no cost to

hotel guests – is a condition for the project’s approval because of the limited availability of space in the underground parking garage.

The applicant for the project is listed as Bridget Herdman, who is the founder of Herdman Architecture + Design.

The firm’s other projects including designing the expansion of the Skechers Factory Store in Moreno Valley and the design of a medical suite for Kerlan-Jobe Center for Sports Neurology & Pain Medicine in Los Angeles.

Approval of the project was recommended by the Old Town Local Review Board, the first decision making body for Old Town Projects, during its Feb. 12 meeting. It’s scheduled to come before the Temecula Planning Commission next.

If the project is ultimately approved, its next door neighbor could likely be Temecula Marketplace, which will consist of two multi-story retail buildings which will bracket Town Square Park.

The buildings would have various retailers at farmer’s market-like stalls, selling everything from fresh meats and cheeses to artwork. They would also have dining space.

The Temecula City Council was scheduled to consider approval for the marketplace during their Feb. 27 meeting.

Community events policy outlined by San Jacinto City Council

The San Jacinto City Council honors former Planning Commissioner Tish Archinega, center, as Mayor Crystal Ruiz hands her a plaque.

Joining in the ceremony were, from left, Councilman Alonzo Ledezma, Mayor Pro Tem Russ Utz, Councilman Andrew Kotyuk and Tony Ault photo Councilman Scott Miller.

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

A special events calendar and administrative policy for San Jacinto was introduced to the San Jacinto City Council by City Manger Rob Johnson at the regular city council meeting Tuesday, Feb. 20.

The council now has clarification of the three types of special events that can be carried on in the city and where the funding responsibility will fall.

Johnson outlined the three types of special events. They include a “Signature Event” where the city partners with a community group or goes it alone and the city’s name, logo and funding is a part of the event. The

CARS from page A-1 will be available in the Old Town Garage at 28690 Mercedes Streets.

On Saturday parking options will be expanded to the Old Town Garage as well as the Temecula Entrepreneur’s Exchange building at 43200 Business Park Drive and the dirt lot on the corner of Santiago and Ynez roads. Shuttles are available from the latter two locations.

People who take ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft can have them drop off and pick up at a designated space behind the Stampede on First Street.

For more information, or to see a map of parking options, event guests can visit the Rod Run’s web-

city’s next Signature Event is March 31 for “Easter at the Mansion.”

A “Partnership Event” is one where the city partners with an outside agency, contractor or group with the city logo, name and limited funds as part of the program and a service to the community. The city council many be invited but would not required to be present or active in the event.

The city can provide some funding in a partnership event but must be treated as a commercial sponsor. The event need not be free, but the public must have access.

The city’s next Partnership Event will be a Cinco de Mayo event, May 5.

A San Jacinto “Community Event” means the city is not participating as

a sponsor, but a councilmember may attend as a resident. These community events are required to obtain permits, insurance and security or police support and have planning.

The next Community Event will be the May 18 San Jacinto Chamber Installation Dinner.

A public hearing scheduled on a proposed addition to San Jacinto Municipal Code adding regulations on unmanned aircraft systems, commonly known as aerial drones, was tabled pending more information about the Federal Aviation Administration’s rules and regulations already outlined.

The request for an ordinance on flying drones in the community was created when residents complained about the excessive noise being made by the electronically controlled aircraft in city parks. The city currently has no regulations on drones other than its standard public nuisance laws.

Johnson sought out the council’s direction on writing an amendment to the city’s signage ordinances concerning electronic signs on commercial businesses along the highways that are becoming more popular. The discussion will return at a later meeting.

Before acting on the regular agenda

site at https://temeculaca.gov/991/ Temecula-Rod-Run. Adamiak noted that the city has been deliberately seeking feedback from members of the different car clubs for the past four years and has decided not to change or add anything this year.

“Based on the overwhelmingly positive response, we think we have a good formula for success,” she said.

Asked what her favorite part of the annual event was, Adamiak said, “seeing our friends, year after year.”

minutes from the Feb. 6 council meeting, council members launched into almost an hour of discussion on an item in that meeting about whether or not the city should be considered a “Sanctuary City.” The council in the earlier February meeting decided to take “no action” on the request, but the way the discussion, whether there was an “action” and how it was recorded came into question by Councilman Scott Miller. The minutes were finally

approved but still may be modified following translation of the recorded minutes.

Gov. Jerry Brown has already declared the state of California a “Sanctuary State,” which is not recognized by the federal government. The question on its legality has not been determined by the federal courts but was defined by the state.

HS Girls' Soccer: Lady Golden Bears win double OT thriller, advance to CIF-SS semifinals

vedvid_arts / Adobe Stock image

JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

In what has been one of their best seasons in a very long time, if not ever, Temecula Valley’s Lady Golden Bear soccer team continues to push toward excellence.

Having already captured their first undefeated league championship in 11 years, Temecula Valley (20-6-2), under the reigns of head coach Jennifer Guinn, has their sights set on winning the final game of the season as they work their way through the Division 2 CIF Southern Section playoffs.

Guinn has been with Temecula Valley for the past four years and has had successful seasons year after year, but none as successful as this year.

“This team is very well rounded,” said Guinn. “We have four senior starters that have led this team to not only their first undefeated league championship in years, but also through the playoffs. I am looking forward to watching this group continue to come together and play with the same strength I have seen from them all season.”

The Lady Golden Bears entered the postseason in Division 2 of the CIF-SS playoffs and took out Marina High School 3-1 in their first-round game. In round two action they ousted Corona del Mar Tuesday, Feb. 20, with a 2-1 victory and in their quarterfinal game Temecula Valley faced a tough El Dorado team Friday, Feb. 23, but battled till the end and captured a 3-2 victory in double overtime.

Players to key in on, according to Coach Guinn, include team captain Sophie Ghaderi, who

is a four-year varsity standout, Emiliee Garrett, Kenzie Vehlow, Christine Goodman, Jo Marie Vanderbyl, Emma Thrapp and freshman Morgan Witz.

Ghaderi is dangerous on the outside and creates many scoring opportunities as a threat on the left and the right side of the field. Garrett plays Center Back, is a solid vocal defender who has commanded her back line and led the lady Golden Bears, only allowing 8 goals this season.

Guinn says she is a natural leader and takes leadership on and off the field. Captain Kenzie Vehlow commands the middle as an Attacker and is dangerous, strong, very technical and tactical player on and off the ball. She has a 5.0 GPA and is an amazing leader according to Coach Guinn.

Christine Goodman is a junior

who is a threat on the outside Forward line as well as the Center Forward spot, Jo Marie Vanderbyl played very smart in the middle and has protected many aspects of the game multiple times to lead the Lady Golden Bears, Emma Thrapp is a natural defender with a ton of possibility to play in a holding mid situation and is a second-year varsity starter and has some high set goals in her mind according to her coach.

Freshman Morgan Witz rounds out the players to watch list as she is very fast and dangerous.

She creates many opportunities in front of the goal and has put away critical goals that contributed to the outcome of the season as well.

Coach Guinn says the coaching staff is looking forward to seeing her grow within this program.

The journey continues for Temecula Valley this week as they travel to take on Cypress High School (20-6-2) in the semifinals of the Division 2 CIF Southern Section playoffs.

Carnish wins Factory Stocks heat, main on opening day at Perris Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Perris Auto Speedway opened its 2018 Perris Auto Speedway Stock Car Racing Association season, Feb. 10-11, and Menifee driver Kris Carnish won both the Factory Stocks heat race and the division’s main event, Feb. 10, while also winning the Feb. 11 heat race and placing third in that day’s feature.

“I was able to see how well the changes worked with the car, and they worked out tremendously,” Carnish said.

In 2017 Precision Engine became Carnish’s primary sponsor. Precision Engine owner Larry Frank helped Carnish with improvements on the 1975 Chevrolet Camaro that Carnish has used since 2013.

“We threw a bunch of changes at the car to see how it would handle and perform,” Carnish said.

Those changes were made before the final race of 2017, but a blown transmission in the 13th lap limited action in the late phases when positions change or are maintained.

“We didn’t get to see what those w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

changes did for the car,” Carnish said.

Carnish’s finishes in the 2018 races allowed for a more extensive evaluation.

“I actually got to see how those changes helped the car, and they helped the car tremendously,” he said. “I was very impressed.”

The heat races were six laps on the half-mile dirt oval and the main events were 20-lap races. Carnish was in the first heat race, Feb. 10, which consisted of seven cars, and he started on the outside of the third row.

“Within two laps I was in the lead and never looked back,” Carnish said.

The heat race provided a strong assessment of the Camaro.

“I knew that I had a fast car,” Carnish said.

Carnish watched the drivers in the second heat race.

“I knew there was only one other car I had to worry about,” Carnish said. “I thought I had a faster car compared to him.”

That other car’s driver, Todd Fassler of El Cajon, would finish second in the Feb. 10 main event.

Fassler and Carnish both started the feature on the second row with Fassler taking the original green flag on the inside and Carnish starting on the outside.

Carnish needed two laps to move to the lead.

“The two cars in the front (at the start) were slower cars, and as soon as we hit the green I passed them on the backstretch,” he said.

Temecula driver Cameron Veatch, who is one of Carnish’s Precision Engine teammates, finished third after starting the race on the outside of the third row.

Carnish began the Feb. 11 heat race in the back, but after two laps he had taken the lead. The Feb. 10 main event winners were not allowed to start the following day’s feature in the first five rows. The Feb. 11 main event only had 11 cars, so Carnish was the only car in the sixth row.

“I knew that I had 10 other cars ahead of me. I was going to let some of them bang on each other,” Carnish said.

A sixth-lap crash Carnish avoided justified that decision while also improving his position by default.

“After that first restart I just started going for it, going for the front,” he said.

During the final half of the race Carnish was in second.

“I was on the leader’s tail,” he said.

Justin Dunn of Riverside, who started on the pole, won the Feb. 11 main event. Shortly after the white flag was thrown, Veatch, who finished second after starting on the inside of the third row, passed Carnish.

“I went a little high, got a little too high going into (turns) one and two,” Carnish said.

As the drivers approached turns three and four, Dunn and Veatch were utilizing the high groove, so Carnish sought to pass them by

driving on the low groove.

“I didn’t get enough momentum coming out of turn four,” Carnish said.

Fassler had a start on the inside of the second row and finished fourth.

The first-place and third-place finishes still gave Carnish the lead in the season point standings.

“I’m satisfied,” he said.

From 2015 through 201, the track utilized a “playoff” format where all drivers who won at least one main event during the season were eligible for the championship which was decided in the final race and given to the eligible driver with the highest finish in the finale. This year the track has returned to basing the season championship on race points alone.

Had the 2016 and 2017 seasons utilized points only rather than the highest position in the final race, Carnish would have won the 2016 Factory Stocks season championship and James Altman of Lake Elsinore would have been the 2017 season champion. This year Altman is racing in the Super Stocks division.

“It’s been anybody’s division for the past few years to win,” Carnish said.

Veatch, Frank, Pat Bradley and Kris Daves comprised Carnish’s pit crew during the weekend. Debbi Campton assisted on the car but was not in the pits. In addition to Performance Engine, Carnish is also sponsored by Condon Motorsports and Factory Ride Energy Drink.

Carnish was born in Vista and lived in Escondido as a kindergarten student, before moving to Murrieta to spend first grade. He graduated from Murrieta Valley High School in 2000 and moved from Murrieta to Menifee shortly afterward.

Carnish began his Perris Auto Speedway career as a pit crew member for Menifee driver Ken McWilliams and first drove at Perris in the four-cylinder Hornet Stocks class with a 1985 Toyota Celica. Carnish became a pit crew member only after the Hornet Stocks division was discontinued, but the acquisition of the Camaro allowed him to return as a driver in the Factory Stocks competition.

Carnish won his first main event in August 2015.

Mottola qualifies for state girls wrestling tournament Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula Valley High School freshman Solana Mottola wrestled in the girls’ CIF State wrestling tournament, Feb. 22-23, in Visalia and did exceptionally well. Before wrestling at State, she placed fifth in the 131-pound division at the CIF Southern Section tournament, Feb. 9-10, at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Corona in order to qualify for the state tournament.

She was the highest-placing freshman in her weight class and beat four higher-seeded competitors.

“I was really excited; I was proud,” Mottola said.

Mottola’s only loss in the tournament was in the quarterfinals, and she then won two consolation matches for the fifth-place position.

“It was just so nice,” she said.

Mottola was given the 11th seed in her weight class. She beat the third, fourth, seventh and ninth seeds during the tournament.

“It was a really tough tournament,” she said. “It really showed where I was.”

At the CIF State Wrestling tournament Mottola took third place in the south section qualifiers round, she took fifth place in the South Section Finals, and took top 12 in the State finals. Mottola won her first state match with a 45 second pin against San Fernando’s LA

section No.1 seed and in the second round she won her match 18-6 to advance. In the third round she faced last year’s 131-pound State Champion and 2-time national team placer, Candace Corralejo and lost, but not without turning some heads. Mottola wrestled in 3 varsity tournaments this season and took second place in each tournament which includes the Lakeside girls tournament, The USA Folkstyle Showcase and the Amaya High School girls tournament.

Although girls’ wrestling is not a separate CIF sport, girls’ tourna-

ments are held throughout the season in addition to the section and state championship tournaments.

During the season, Mottola placed second in her weight bracket in three different tournaments.

A female wrestler usually competes against boys in dual-meet tournaments both on the mat and for the opportunity to be the school’s representative in a particular weight class. Mottola’s only competition during a 2017-2018 dual meet was against Chaparral, where she wrestled another girl and was victorious.

Mottola is the only girl on Tem-

ecula Valley’s 2017-2018 team.

The lifelong Temecula resident attended Vail Elementary School and Margarita Middle School.

Before her interest in wrestling, she participated in martial arts.

Temecula Valley High School’s wrestling program includes instructing middle school students, and Mottola began wrestling through that opportunity.

“Wrestling started to grab my attention,” she said.

Her mixed martial arts experience carried over to wrestling.

“Being mentally strong is really important to the sport,” she said.

The 14-year-old Mottola will turn 15 in May. She believes that her mental skills allowed her to reach the state tournament as a freshman.

“I was very confident. I knew my coaches and my family were really supportive of me,” she said.

She credits the assistance outside the mat for her success.

“I want to thank my family and my coaches,” Mottola said.

Mottola encourages other high school girls to participate in wrestling.

“It’s a really life-changing sport, and it gives you a total different perspective into everything,” she said. “Any girls out there who are wrestlers or want to try, just go for it.”

When you should or should not get a nose job Dr. Deepak Raj Dugar SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Young people love their nose jobs.

In fact, rhinoplasty is far and away the No. 1 cosmetic-surgical procedure performed for patients, ages 13 to 19, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Teenagers aren’t the only ones intrigued by the idea of changing the way their noses look, though. It’s also in the top five procedures for people of all ages.

But that said, is a nose job right

for everyone who wants one? Not necessarily, I tell patients at my plastic surgery practice in Beverly Hills. Sometimes I tell patients, “Your nose looks great with your face. Don’t touch it” Other than the “everything looks fine, why mess with it” message, I have a few considerations that I ask patients to take into account before deciding on a nose job.

First, nasal maturity affects the outcome. Although young patients might want rhinoplasty, it’s important to wait until the nose is ready.

You don’t want to have surgery and

the nose continues to grow later.

Generally, when someone reaches about age 15, the nose cartilage and bones are mature.

Next, consider the patient’s emotional maturity. It’s important that the patient understands the implications of the surgery and understands the risk and purpose as well. If they do understand those things, then they are ready to move ahead with the surgery, but if they don’t have a good understanding, perhaps they should wait.

Also, they should have realistic expectations. Patients need to real-

Providing addiction treatment in the Temecula Valley since 1986.

Benefits Of Outpatient Treatment: • Studies show that outpatient treatment outcomes are as good or surpass inpatient settings.

• Outpatient treatment allows the patient to include their family, in the treatment process, from day one. Programs that provide comprehensive services to families, have been shown to enhance outcomes for the patient and help family members with their own adaptations to the chronic disease of alcoholism or addiction.

• Patients are able to create recovery connections, with others in recovery, while remaining in their own home • Hill offers comprehensive ambulatory detox, day intensive outpatient, day treatment and evening intensive outpatient, thus, enabling any work schedules or commitments to be addressed.

• Cost for outpatient treatment is 1/5th, on average, of inpatient treatment • Outpatient treatment, allows the individual to deal with the inevitable cravings, in a real world, real life situation. Conditioned cues, associated with their use of substances, can be resolved in outpatient with support from their recovery peers, counselors and other staff • Outpatient treatment integrates medication assisted treatment, that greatly enhances successful outcomes, especially, with opiates and alcohol.

ize what can and can’t be done with a nose job, and what they should expect to see in the mirror when the surgery and the recovery time are over. When the patient thinks you are delivering one thing and the surgeon thinks they are delivering another, that’s when most problems happen.

Watch for body dysmorphia symptoms. About one in 50 people suffer from body dysmorphic disorder, a psychiatric condition that causes them to agonize constantly over real or perceived flaws with their bodies, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America. Nearly everyone has such concerns at some time, but people with body dysmorphia can’t shake their negative feelings, and plastic surgeons need to counsel them. If someone’s problem with their appearance is strictly psychological, cosmetic surgery isn’t going to solve things and they sometimes end up getting repeat surgeries.

When I see people who keep getting surgery after surgery, I feel bad for them because they are being

abused by these unethical surgeons who are money hungry and just operating for cash.

Lastly, plastic surgeons often concentrate on specific procedures, so anyone considering cosmetic surgery should seek a surgeon whose experience lies in the procedure they desire.

Don’t let the surgeon who specializes in breasts or liposuction do your nose, and don’t let the nose guy do your breasts.

Desert Hills Memory Care wellness director receives quality improvement award HEMET – Desert Hills Memory Care Center, located at 25818 Columbia St. in Hemet, announced that Wellness Director Shannon Moore, a license vocation nurse, is the recipient of the Cascade Living Group Quality Improvement Award for 2017. The award is given annually to the leading wellness director who has demonstrated an effective quality improvement program, exceeding standards and ensuring quality of services for residents.

Desert Hills Memory Care also received a deficiency-free inspection from the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Office, Jan. 26. The community-based care survey unit is the state regulatory body that ensures the safety and quality of health services provided in long-term, care communitybased settings, such as assisted living communities. Very few assisted-living communities achieve a deficiency-free rating.

Moore has been a part of the Desert Hills team since June 2012.

It was her first time working in a dedicated memory care commu-

nity. She started out working as a charge nurse who ran the evening shift. Once Moore became part of the team, she realized that Desert Hills was where she was meant to be, she said.

Moore became a licensed Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly administrator in April 2014. The credential added to the strength of her skill set in nursing. Moore was promoted from within the company to the position of wellness director in 2014. Through her nursing skills, heart, dedication and compassion, she brings a resident-centered approach to care that is aimed at going above and beyond the needs of the residents who live at Desert Hills.

Moore oversees the care associates and nurses, as well as the overall health and care of the residents who live at Desert Hills.

“There is nowhere that I would rather be working than with the residents, families and staff of Desert Hills,” Moore said.

Teen suicides leave warning signs For help for yourself or a friend, call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at (800) 273-8255; it is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Another excellent resource for suicide prevention and awareness is The Jason Foundation. The Jason Foundation is a nationally recognized leader in youth suicide prevention and awareness. They have been providing programs and resources to help identify and assist young people who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide for over 20 years. For all of those years, the foundation has never charged any school, church, youth organization or community with whom they contract to provide services. The national network spans over 100 affiliate offices located in 32 states that provide programs and services for all 50 states.

TEMECULA – The Centers for Disease Control released new statistics for the 2016 year, in January 2018. For the state of California, suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth ages 10-24.

Suicide is preventable, and four out of five teens who attempt suicide give clear warning signs beforehand. Warning signs of suicidal ideation include, but are not limited, to talking about suicide, to making statements about feeling hopeless, helpless or worthless, to a deepening depression, to preoccupation with death, to taking unnecessary risks or exhibiting self-destructive behavior, to out of character behavior, to a loss of interest in the things one cares about, to visiting or calling people one cares about, to making final arrangements, to setting one’s affairs in order and to giving prized possessions away.

Aida Yodites poses for a photo with her daughter Faith, who was the Courtesy photo inspiration for Delicate Seams.

Stephanie Lai VALLEYNEWSINTERN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Murrieta resident Aida Yodites has grown her three-month-old business, Delicate Seams, into a local sensation.

The family-run business was inspired by her 10-year-old daughter who expressed her dislike of colorful undergarments.

“I realized in moments that her plea was sincere and that it was affecting her self-confidence,” Yodites said.

She began searching for the right undergarments but noticed that most retailers sold products that were too juvenile or too provocative for an adolescent girl. She noticed that the fabrics weren’t as good a quality as she would like either, and finally decided to pick up a sketchbook and design her own line.

The undergarment line includes four styles of tops, ranging from “cami,” “bralette,” “sportlette” and “1st Bra,” as well as, three underwear styles; “bikini,” “hipster” and “girlshort.” The line utilizes more mature fabrics and trims to create functional and appropriate styles.

Yodites focused particularly on finding soft, flexible fabrics to tend to all body types and sizes. In addition, she introduced a neutral color palette ranging from “blush” to “nude” and “chocolate,” to accommodate a spectrum of skin tones.

The origin, quality and intention of Yodites’ work have blossomed

from the inspiration of one young girl.

In January, Yodites attended an open casting call for the ABC Network show “Shark Tank” in Las Vegas. Amongst more than 500 budding entrepreneurs, her 60-second pitch to producers advanced her to another round of screening.

Yodites reflected on her casting experience.

“I met some amazing fellow entrepreneurs who I now consider my friends,” she said. “We all believe in each other, and continue to inspire one another to keep forging ahead after our dreams.”

Yodites hopes her simple idea will grow into a global brand that will help developing young girls gain back their confidence. She said she believes in introducing quality, appropriate garments. Delicate Seams continues to grow, gaining customers from Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida and Alabama.

“It’s an apparel brand that not only offers styles with great function and fit,” Yodites said. “But, more importantly, it’s a brand that transcends positive messages to young girls at a very delicate and impressionable time in their lives.”

She said her priority is to promote modesty and how developing bodies are natural. She hopes her brand embraces bodies of all types, shapes, sizes and skin tones, she said.

Altura Credit Union reports net income of $10.3 million for 2017, 30.1 percent increase over 2016 RIVERSIDE – Altura Credit Union reported net income of $10.23 million for the year ending Dec. 31, 2017, an increase of 30.1 percent over year-end 2016, and the highest in the past three years.

Altura also reported total assets of $1.279 billion for the year ending Dec. 31, 2017, a 4.89 percent increase over 2016.

“We are very pleased with Altura’s financial performance in 2017,” Jennifer Binkley, Altura Credit Union president and CEO, said. “We experienced year-overyear increases in total assets, net income, total revenue, total net worth, loan production and member shares, among other measures.”

“Loans are the main contributing area to total assets, and year-overyear total loan balances increased 12.70 percent,” Tommie Shryock, Altura executive vice president and chief financial officer, said. “Total loan production was 17.3 percent over the 2017 goal, with total auto loans 13.3 percent above goal.”

Additionally, Shryock said member shares were up 4.54 percent

and total noninterest income was up 11.4 percent over 2016. Altura’s net worth ratio climbed to 11.04 percent at year-end 2017 from 10.74 percent in 2016. The National Credit Union Administration considers a net worth ratio above 7 percent to represent a credit union that is well capitalized.

Altura will focus on member retention and growth in 2018.

“Altura’s strong financial position enables us to refine our focus in 2018 on membership retention and expansion through an emphasis on excellence,” Binkley said.

Altura achieved some notable membership growth goals in 2017 among two target groups: millennial members, which grew 14.2 percent, and Latinos, which increased 9.7 percent year-over-year, Binkley said.

“Going forward, the best way for Altura to achieve our membership goals is to find out what is not working for our members, what things are making it difficult for them to do business with us and then committing to improving

them,” Binkley said. “We are tracking member satisfaction monthly in every area, but more importantly, we have empowered our employees to flag faulty processes and services in real time. The management team is committed to fixing the top issue each month and taking corrective actions on the others. So far, we have enhanced 10 processes.”

In the fourth quarter of 2017, Altura responded to member requests and rolled out revamped mobile banking, bill pay and online banking platforms. In addition to being more secure, the new platforms give members more self-service options and other tools.

“We were looking to create a big win for our members,” Sevan Yakinian, vice president of member services, said. “It wasn’t just about a conversion of our existing services, but laying the groundwork for what we can offer going forward.

We want this to be dynamic and to keep pace with member expectations. Member feedback has been very positive. User ratings for the mobile app have jumped from 2.5

to 4.7 stars.”

Altura recently updated its mission statement to “Enriching Lives, Empowering Dreams,” as a reflection of this new emphasis.

“It’s really about expanding on Altura’s history to deliver a more seamless, quality experience for our members,” Binkley said. “Our board, management and team are all passionate about the member experience, so everything we do is aimed at making our members’ financial lives better.”

Based in the Inland Empire for 60 years, Altura Credit Union serves

more than 121,000 members, has $1.279 billion in total assets and operates 13 branch offices in Riverside County. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Riverside and San Diego counties; selected cities in San Bernardino and Orange counties; as well as U.S. military, U.S. government and civilian employees working at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County and retirees of the United States Armed Forces.

An evening of jazzy performances coming to Old Town Temecula Community Theater Alex Groves ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The improvisational and lively sound of jazz music will fill the air on the patio outside of the Old Town Temecula Community Theater Sunday, March 11, beckoning people to visit and enjoy an evening listening to uniquely American music.

The seventh annual Jazz Festival will start officially at 2 p.m. and will feature roughly 11 acts, including singers, pianists and other instrumentalists, according to event organizer Jeff Stover; however, visitors to Old Town will be able to listen to and enjoy the sounds of the jazz as early as 12:30 p.m. for free when the Elvio Ditta Jazz Trio plays at the theater’s courtyard.

Guests will be able to enjoy the music and also visit various food and gift vendors that set up shop.

“There’s a lovely patio back there and The Merc, and it’s a really nice looking property and a lot of people aren’t aware of it because it’s tucked back there,” Stover said.

“So the music lures them in, and then they get to see the property and they get to see what’s going on over there.”

If people like what they hear,

they can purchase a ticket for the show inside the theater. The headliners for the festival this year are nationally renowned jazz singers, Yve Evans and Jonathan Karrant.

Some other acts will be Keith Droste on piano, Rod Kokolj on saxophone and Joel Wenhardt on the piano. Stover himself will be performing on bass.

Many of the acts are from the local area, according to Stover.

“Usually these festivals will hire bigger names and stuff, but over the years that we’ve been in Temecula these people that are amazing have become local stars almost,” he said.

“We’ve been putting these big band shows on, six of them a year, for almost 10 years. So the audience has really gotten to know these local people that I use on the shows, and when we do the jazz festival, they all have fans here.”

Stover said his dad had been producing some of the musical shows at the Old Town Temecula Theater. He took over those shows when his dad died.

About seven years ago, Stover decided he wanted to do a jazz festival. A musician himself, Stover had performed with his band at the

Saxophonists perform at last year’s Jazz Festival at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.

Jazz comes alive at Diamond Valley Arts Center with Marshall Hawkins’ Seahawk Mojo Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Diamond Valley Arts Center on Sunday once again came to life with the mellow soft jazz sounds of Marshall Hawkins, Seahawk Mojo and special guest soloist Sherry Williams, Sunday, Feb. 18, in honor of Black History Month.

Hawkins with his seven-member, modern jazz orchestra, called Seahawk Mojo, awed the soldout audience with the orchestra’s many renditions of Duke Ellington, Brubeck and Hampton along with many of their own creations all in a tribute to the contributions black jazz musicians have given the nation – a true American tradition.

Hawkins is the lead jazz teacher at the Idyllwild Arts Academy and a world-renowned jazz artist.

“It’s really all about love,” Hawkins said as he held his big bass close during the introductions. It’s the music, he said, that he has fallen in love with and the instruments in his hand. “To me, it is Black History month every day.”

He said his last set for the evening will be a tribute to jazz and bop messenger, Thelonious Monk.

Williams took the stage with her old friend Hawkins and the orchestra to sing in her own “buttery” voice, her own version of the timeless songs “Summertime” and “Take the ‘A’ Train.” Adding to her songs were the sound of each orchestra musician with Bob Boss on guitar, Clayton Powell on drums, saxophonist Charlie Owens with Hawkins’ outstanding student Mark Beebe on alto sax and fellow Idyllwild Arts Academy instructors Roy Gonzales on Timbales, Nigite Agindotan master conga player and son Kiemute on the djun drum.

A surprise to the audience, with a special performance the Agindotans and Gonzales, got the house

Top things to do and see in Temecula Valley Wine Country Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

We are fortunate to live in an area with so much to offer when it comes to entertainment and things to fill our time. There is never a dull moment in the Temecula Valley and fun awaits those who choose to visit any one of the many memorable places the area has to offer.

Like most who call the Temecula Valley Home, one of my favorite places to visit is Temecula Valley Wine Country.

On any given day, Wine Country has so much to offer. Here you won’t only taste wines or eat a meal prepared by one of the area’s top chefs, you can take a horseback ride, see the area from the skies or even take in some live entertainment.

Here are my top picks for things to do when visiting Temecula Valley Wine Country.

Take a taste What visit to Temecula Valley Wine Country would be complete without a wine tasting or two? If you go, I highly recommend having a taste of the Almond Sparkling Wine at Wilson Creek Winery. With a hint of pure almond, this is one wine you won’t want to miss.

Another favorite Temecula Wine Country wine is the 2015 Gewurztraminer from South Coast Winery.

It might be difficult to pronounce, but this is one of the most flavorful of the white varietals. With a sweet solid acidity and exotic floral scents, this wine is a real winner in my book.

While in Wine Country, be sure to head out to the De Portola Wine Trail and visit some of the boutique wineries there. Cougar Vineyards, (try their Falanghina, it’s my favorite white), Oak Mountain Winery and Gershon Bachus for some of the most flavorful wines in the Temecula Valley.

If you are looking for a great red wine, then look no further than the Caveman Red at Oak Mountain.

It’s a rich and velvety red and is grown, produced and bottled on-site. With aromas of red fruit, chocolate, earth and leather, this savory wine will leave you clamoring for more.

At Gerhson Bachus you can’t go wrong with a bottle of the 10 Aquilo God of North Wind Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 30 months using a combination of neutral oak and Hungarian oak barrels, this wine has a pleasing light raspberry aroma with a hint of plum. The smooth velvety finish with a blackberry undertone is well worth the price of the bottle. With a limited production of this wine, don’t wait too long or you could miss out on this amazing blend.

Take flight A Grape Escape Hot Air Balloon Adventures offers a variety of ways to see Temecula Valley Wine Country from above. For that special romantic flight, try the Temecula Wine Country Balloon Flight for Two. Featuring an exclusive sunrise flight, chilled Champagne and a continental breakfast this is one way to wow that special person in your life.

For a more social experience, try the Temecula Valley Wine Country Balloon Flight. Share in the fun with a group of friends, or even strangers, on this sunrise flight which takes off from Europa Village. Like the flight for two, this trip includes a sunrise flight, chilled Champagne and a continental breakfast.

Take a ride Saddle up and explore Wine Country cowboy-style with Wine Country Trails by Horseback. Offering a variety of ride packages, including group and sunset tours, a ride through wine country gives visitors a unique way to explore Temecula Valley Wine Country.

When you finish your ride, head on over to Maurice Car’rie to take advantage of the five complimentary wine tastings you receive with your ride. While at Maurice Car’rie be sure to break bread – literally – with their mouthwatering Brie Bread, a personal favorite of many who frequent the winery.

Try some cuisine We all need food to survive but Pinnacle Restaurant at Falkner Winery takes things one step further with mouth-watering delicacies such as Lobster Mac & Cheese, Grilled Octopus and my personal favorite, Cannelloni Di Mare. This shrimp and Main Lobster mixed with Boursin cheese, baby spinach,

“BIG TRUTH & the SCHOOL of ROCK” LET’S DANCE shallots and artichoke hearts rolled in crepes and topped with sherry cream sauce is simply to die for.

If you still have room after dinner, then do try the Lemon and Strawberry Crème Brulee. It’s a guilty pleasure that is worth the guilt.

If you are looking for something a bit on the lighter side, Visit Cougar Vineyards and Winery’s Sangio’s Deli where you can dine Al-Fresco on the patio. Featuring seasonal selections from salads to hand tossed pizzas and gluten-free options, there is something for everyone at this relaxing restaurant.

As a bonus, the deli offerings pair wonderfully with Cougar’s awardwinning wines.

Take a class From wine and painting classes to creative crafts virtually not a day goes by where you can learn something out in wine country.

Cougar Vineyards and Winery offers monthly wine cork craft classes, Wiens Family cellars hosts

a Wine and Words Book Club and Mount Palomar Winery periodically hosts a wine and paint night.

There is literally every kind of class under the sun in Temecula Valley Wine Country. For a full schedule of events, visit your favorite winery’s website to see what they have to offer.

Be entertained From winery tours to live music, wine country offers a wide variety of entertainment. Check out Mount Palomar Winery’s Murder Mystery events for a night full of mysterious fun. If solving crimes isn’t high on your to-do list, then head over to Maurice Car’rie for some live music or to stroll through their craft faire where artisans show and sell their unique and one of a kind wares.

Dining in the Valley

Merryvale Vineyards to host dinner and wine tasting, March 15, at Pala PALA – Napa Valley’s Merryvale Vineyards will host a fivecourse dinner and wine tasting 7:30 p.m., Thursday, March 15, in the underground wine cave at Pala Casino Spa & Resort. Doors will open 7 p.m.

Tickets, $85 per person, plus an 18 percent gratuity, are available by calling (877) 946-7252; ask to book the Merryvale wine dinner.

Guests will enjoy a five-course dinner with wine pairings from Merryvale’s portfolio of fine wines.

Dining and tasting will start with big eye tuna carpaccio with ancho chili aioli, avocado and mango spicy sriracha caviar paired with a Merryvale rose of Pinot Noir Starmont.

The second course will feature mussel bisque en croute with a Chardonnay – Merryvale, followed by open fire roasted grouper with saffron bacon sweet pea risotto and a Sauvignon Blanc – Merryvale.

The fourth course will offer wild boar chop saltimbocca with goat cheese polenta and crispy prosciutto huckleberry sauce paired

with a Merlot - Merryvale.

Dessert will be chocolate in paradise and a Cabernet Sauvignon - Merryvale.

Visiting Merryvale Vineyards in St. Helena, California, is like taking a walk back into the history of Napa Valley. Lining the walls of the winery’s inner sanctum are rows of 100- year-old, 2,000-gallon wooden casks, proudly enduring like retired ships – heroes in their day. It was one of the first wineries built in Napa after Prohibition ended, and its long history includes stints as a production facility and a co-op.

The winery has also been the workplace and training ground of some legendary Napa figures including Cesare Mondavi and his two sons, Peter and Robert.

As a brand, Merryvale started in 1983. The first wines were made at a custom crush facility in Calistoga

by Bill Harlan and Bob Levy. Harlan bought the historic St. Helena facility in 1986 and moved the Merryvale operation there in 1991, the same year that Jack Schlatter

became a partner.

This change was the beginning of the modern era at Merryvale.

Schlatter became the winery’s sole owner in 1996, and it is still a family business now. Jack’s son Rene is now president of Merryvale along with the family’s other estate, Starmont Winery and Vineyards.

Merryvale is an excellent source of superbly well-made wines with classic Napa character. Fruit for the wines is sourced from some of the top sites in the valley and also grown at the family’s two estate vineyards, the Stanly Ranch Vineyard and the Schlatter Family Vineyard. The Stanly Ranch Vineyard sits on the eastern edge of the Carneros American viticulture area, and is planted with chardonnay, pinot noir, syrah and a tiny amount of viognier.

There is quite a bit of history associated with the property, which was part of Judge Stanly’s original estate in the 1800s – one of the first to grow grapes in California. In the 1950s, important chardonnay and pinot noir clonal trials were

Orleans favorite son Henry C. Ramos. As legend has it, the cocktail became so popular that by the 1915 Mardi Gras celebrations, Ramos’ 35 “shaker boys” had trouble keeping up with demand. Bartenders at each restaurant will demo the drink’s famous vigorous shaking ritual to give it its unique fizz.

The cost of each March 13 pairing event is $34.95 per person, and reservations are required for seatings beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Bluewater chefs and servers will be available at each restaurant to discuss the culinary and recipe possibilities of Cajun and Creole cuisines.

Throughout March, a sampling of redfish, gumbo and oysters Rockefeller will be available off the menu at each restaurant for

those that can’t make it March 13, and guests can add their own New Orleans Fizz from the bar menu to complete their personal Louisiana celebration.

Offered on the second Tuesday of every month, Bluewater’s monthly tasting events allow seafood aficionados and “foodies” to combine the latest seasonal fresh fish varieties, with commentary by resident seafood experts. During some months, hand-selected wines, draught beers and sakes are added to the mix and a special, limited-time menu offering allows customers to sample the tasting event throughout the month.

Directions: Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil sprayed with cooking spray). Spread popcorn and peanuts onto prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, whisk together egg white, sugar, adobo sauce and salt until foamy. Pour over popcorn and toss to coat evenly.

Bake 20 minutes, stirring once midway through baking time. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.

Cook until mixture forms thick, “ropy” threads that drip from the spoon.

Pour slowly over popped popcorn and mix thoroughly.

Spray 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

REAL ESTATE / HOME & GARDEN

Fire takes family’s home and possessions but not their memories Tom Ferrall STAFF WRITER

A couple of days a week, Diana Smith sits in a lawn chair on a empty lot, a piece of property that until Dec. 7, was adorned with her family’s two-story, four-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2,400-square-foot home and two freestanding barns.

“Honestly, when I’m here it still feels like home to me,” Diana Smith said. “I guess home’s not a building; it’s the memories. It’s a great place, and I love being here.

I’m so thankful my kids got to be raised here.”

The house that veterinarian Dr. Geoffrey Smith bought from the builder in 1980, the home in which the Smiths raised their four kids and celebrated all holidays and special events, was destroyed in minutes by the Lilac fire. It was one of the four out of five homes that burned down on the 31600 block of Wrightwood Road in Bonsall.

Diana Smith was home with her 93-year-old mother-in-law, Lynette Smith, when the Lilac fire broke out. When she saw a hillside to the northwest on fire, she helped her mother-in-law to the car and they departed with the family pets at 12:45 p.m.

“I 100 percent thought I was coming home that night,” Diana Smith said. “I think it was because 10 years ago when we had a shake shingle roof and had to evacuate (because of the Rice Canyon Fire), and I really thought our house was going to burn down, it didn’t. (This time) I thought, ‘I’m not going to burn down, I have a great roof and everything is nice.’ So I just shut the windows so when I came home that night the house wouldn’t smell smoky.”

Diana Smith was so confident her home wasn’t going to burn that she only grabbed one possession before leaving – a pearl necklace that her husband had given her on their honeymoon in Maui.

“I opened the jewelry box and rather than taking the whole thing, which would have been faster, I took out the pearls and that’s it,” Diana Smith said. “One thing.”

The decision not to take the jewelry box also resulted in a cash loss as it contained $1,500, ironically, “for emergencies.”

Geoffrey Smith was at veterinary seminar in San Diego at the time of the fire and lost everything but the clothes he was wearing.

“Hindsight, if I’d known we weren’t coming back to a house there would have been so many things I would have grabbed, but they’re gone,” Geoffrey Smith said, adding that he had just had his woodshop in the lower barn “completely decked out with new equipment.”

Although valuable possessions

Geoffrey and Diana Smith sit on the footprint of their Bonsall home just more than two months after the Shane Gibson photos Dec. 7, Lilac fire destroyed their house.

Remnants of flooring remain at the Smith family home, which was engulfed in flames during the Lilac fire.

Diana Smith holds a pearl necklace that her husband bought for her on their honeymoon. It was the only item she grabbed before evacuating her home during the Lilac fire.

lost included a Louis XIV vase, Geoffrey Smith bemoans losing one thing above all others.

“I had 12,000 family pictures on a digital external drive that I never put in the cloud, and they’re gone,” Geoffrey Smith said. “Camping trips, graduations, Eagle Scout awards, trips to Australia, trips to Alaska...the pictures are gone. That one hurt.”

The loss of a beloved home and cherished possessions weighed heavily on Geoffrey Smith, although he tried to never let it show.

“Veterinarians, we’re not so much trained, but we have the mental pattern of ‘we don’t panic,’” Geoffrey Smith said. “I mean, you bring me a dog spurting blood out with a broken bone and in pain and the last thing you want is this veterinarian screaming, ‘Oh no!’ We tend to take things calmly.

“But internally though I was a mess,” Geoffrey Smith said. “I’d wake up thinking about, ‘oh, I lost that. I lost that.’ I didn’t sleep for weeks. As far as the front, I was in control because, you know, I’m a husband and a father, and you don’t want your kids and your wife to see you lose control.

“It hurt, and it still hurts but you also have to accept reality that the most important thing, human life, was preserved,” Geoffrey Smith said. “Family counts, and material things don’t. Material things are temporal, and I believe in the eternity of us, so that’s what you have to grab on to.”

So what is it like to lose everything and have to start over?

“It’s kind of surreal,” Diana Smith said. “It’s just weird. I can’t even put a word on it. You have absolutely nothing. The first thing I did I went to Ross, and I’m trying to find towels and sheets and shoes and underwear for my family. You have zero.”

The one thing the Smiths would have was plenty of support from the community.

“What shocked me was the amount of help from strangers, it just overwhelmed me,” Diana Smith said. “It was just amazing.

People I didn’t even know were pouring out help and love and gifts and towels and sheets and things.”

The Smiths attend North Coast Church and a friend attends The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints. Members of both churches came through for the Smiths.

“North Coast Church was like, ‘what do you need immediately,’” Diana Smith said. “I had 70 Mormons on my property a couple of weeks after the fire for full-on work cleaning up. A guy came from Utah because his house burned down 10

Diana Smith posts a small sign, “In all things, give thanks. 1 Thessalonians 5:18,” at the entrance to her Bonsall property.

Antimicrobial tiles help create sanitary spaces ous to water and moisture. Some tile may help reduce the spread of certain strains of bacteria, such as E. coli and staph, without requiring the application of potentially harsh chemical detergents. Others treatments may protect against yeast, molds and fungi that can cause stains and odors and result in the degradation of tile.

Antimicrobial products inhibit the growth of microorganisms and suppress their reproduction.

For example, tiles with Microban protection employ an antimicrobial agent built into the product during the manufacturing process. When microbes touch the product surface, the agent penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism. Other tiles are treated with micrometric particles of titanium dioxide, which is activated by sunlight or artificial light.

This treatment causes a photocatalysis process, which is responsible for the product’s antipollution and bactericidal properties. Examples of TiO2-treated tiles include Ac-

TEMECULA – Tile can be a worthy addition to rooms with potential moisture issues or areas in a home that may routinely necessitate quick cleanup. Because they are not damaged by constant contact with water, tiled floors and walls are often found in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and entryways.

Although tile is resilient, it is not impervious to the microorganisms that tend to proliferate in areas where moisture and humidity are commonplace. Microbes can grow rapidly in warm areas, especially if food is present. Mold or mildew issues also can become problematic seemingly overnight. But certain modifications can help homeowners alleviate the proliferation of microorganisms.

Various manufacturers have developed their own innovative tile that contributes to cleaner, and sometimes more eco-friendly, home environments. The application of certain treatments can make ceramic tiles even more imperviLIC #3

tive Clean Air and Antibacterial Ceramic.

Antimicrobial ceramic tile can be advantageous in rooms where sanitation and hygiene are an utmost priority, including not only public places, but private residences. Worktops and floors where microbes can be transferred are particularly beneficial areas to install antimicrobial tile.

A potential side effect of antimicrobial tile is a reduction in reliance on harsh cleaning products. Although regular washing is recommended, residents may not need to use odoriferous or strong chemical cleaners to sanitize their homes. This reduction helps improve indoor air quality and reduce the potential contamination of the environment from chemical runoff.

Homeowners thinking of installing antimicrobial tile in their homes should discuss their options with a tile retailer or contractor during the planning stages.

LILAC from page D-1 years ago, and he said, ‘I have to come here and help clean.’”

Diana Smith was also impressed with the Red Cross.

“The Red Cross had everything set up at the Vista Library,” Diana Smith said. “You could go there, and they had stations set up where you could get your marriage license, your driver’s license, county services, even dog food.”

Diana Smith is also satisfied with how her insurance company has responded.

“I think the insurance is what we signed up for,” Diana Smith said.

“We don’t have any complaints at all about the insurance. They’ve been very good about paying what they should. We’re already starting the process of rebuilding.”

The Smiths are renting a home in Bonsall and hope to be in their new home in 18 to 24 months. Their architect is designing a single-story, 3,000-square-foot home with three bedrooms and an office, three

bathrooms, a three-car garage and a woodshop.

“I said what will draw me back to this house is if you build me a killer woodshop, and he is,” Geoffrey Smith said. “I saw the plans – it’s going to be a nice woodshop.”

Geoffrey Smith, 70, who lost all records pertaining to his Fur & Feathers Mobile Veterinary Services – “the computer got fried, the backups got fried, all the client records got fried, the business phone got fried” – is going to start a new practice in Fallbrook at 427 N. Orange Street. It will be called North Orange Veterinary Clinic.

“I thought I was going to retire,” a smirking Geoffrey Smith said, who before the fire had been working one day a week at Fallbrook Feed and Fertilizer doing exams and blood work.

“It’s a blessing that I’m opening another hospital because clients will come there, and I’ll be there Monday through Friday instead of one day a week.”

Hardships test people, and the

Smiths appear to be handing this trying exam valiantly.

“What I learned about myself, without a doubt, you have to be flexible in life because if not, you’re going to break,” Diana Smith said.

“Be flexible.”

Diana Smith, who teaches at Vista Adult School, said she also learned – by being on the receiving end of it – the tremendous power of kindness.

“If I could give a bit of advice to anybody, when there is a need, jump at the opportunity to help somebody immediately,” Diana Smith said. “They will never forget your kindness. They will never forget it. Whether it’s somebody in the hospital, take them something.

Whether it’s a lady who just had a baby, take them a meal. Whether it’s a disaster, put on gloves and go out there for two hours or three hours and they will never forget that.”

Real Estate / Home & Garden

The perfect real estate buyer should never...

Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

one, but a buyer should not work with multiple agents at once. At least be upfront and let the agents decide if they want to work with such a buyer.

Don’t contact listing agents personally. Use the real estate agent.

While listing agent’s contact information is readily available, never make direct contact with them. First off, remember that the listing agent represents the financial interests of the seller. They are always looking to get the best price and looking for any negotiating edge they can receive, in case of an offer. The more a buyer talks, the more information they give up. When a buyer finds a house that they want to know more about, they should let their agent do the job they were hired to do.

Don’t ask an agent to show homes for sale before getting preapproved. Good real estate agents are busy people and having one show homes that cannot possibly be purchased is totally inconsiderate of their time – time that could be spent with clients that can actually buy a home or even worse, time away from their home and family.

Don’t look at homes outside the pre-approved price range. Be reasonable. Agents may show the buyer homes that are slightly above a qualified price range because there are chances that either they can negotiate the price down, the buyer may be able to come up slightly or even a combination of both. But when a buyer is qualified for $300,000, don’t waste anyone’s time asking to see $500,000 homes, unless they’ve have been holding out on their agent and have the cash to spend. Look at homes that make sense.

The buyer should understand where they want to live. Before asking a real estate agent to drive them all around town looking at homes, the buyer should make sure it’s a community they want to live in. Today, with the internet, it’s easy to do homework. Investigate the schools, commuter routes, public transportation and any other characteristic of a community that is important before taking the time to look at homes.

Don’t make unrealistic lowball offers. A good real estate agent

Every first-time homebuyer starts off feeling a little skittish about what to expect, not only with the process of qualifying for and buying a home but about finding the “perfect” real estate agent.

It’s true, that agents are more than anxious to find new clients eager to buy or sell their existing home.

The first-time buyer looking for the house of their dreams can have serious relationship problems with their real estate agent if they have unreasonable expectations.

The seasoned real estate professional should know what they can and cannot accomplish and what is available for the buyer, in their price range. Buyers on the other hand, especially first-time buyers who have never worked with a real estate agent, can sometimes do things that can strain the relationship and frustrate both parties.

Let’s take a look at what every real estate agent wishes their buyers would never do.

First, don’t work with an agent for months and buy from someone else at an open house. All real estate agents work on a commission, meaning if they don’t close a transaction they don’t get paid. Is it fair for a real estate agent to drive a buyer around for weeks or even months, take their phone calls at all hours of the day or evening and always promptly respond to their emails and texts, only to have them decide to tour an open house and buy it from that listing agent? This situation has got to be the No. 1 pet peeve of nearly every real estate agent. Don’t do it.

Also, don’t work with more than one real estate agent. As mentioned above, the agent will not earn a dime until they help the buyer find a home and close escrow on it, as such the buyer should never work with more than one agent at a time. Sure, it may be considered convenient to have multiple agents as close as a cellphone, but it is not fair to either agent. It’s OK and even encouraged to interview multiple agents to find the right

knows the market and will research any home for which they write an offer. The process includes looking at recent comparable sales with similar characteristics. The agent can prepare a presentation showing all of the comparable sales and make the necessary adjustments to show the buyer where their offer should be. Don’t be the buyer who thinks if they throw enough junk against the wall some of it is bound to stick, unless they are an all-cash investment buyer looking at distressed properties, but that is a whole different conversation.

There is a fine line between a timewasting lowball offer and testing the waters with an offer below list price. If the buyer loves the home

and wants to have it, then they should offer accordingly.

Lastly, don’t make an offer contingent on selling a home. Most sellers will not really consider a contingency offer, unless the buyer is in escrow and all of their buyer’s contingencies have been removed.

A seller wants to sell to a ready, willing and able buyer. At least make sure the home is on the market and properly priced, if there’s even a chance at enticing a seller to accept the offer.

These pitfalls can all be avoided by knowing about them ahead of time and gathering some understanding of how the entire buying process works. Please understand that real estate agents are human

too, and they all have lives, families and homes just like homebuyers.

Together, working as a team, a real estate agent can find buyers their dream home.

Cottage Lane in Lake Elsinore supports active lifestyles LAKE ELSINORE – The new home neighborhood of Cottage Lane is surrounded by recreation and entertainment options, creating a charming haven for those seeking wide-open spaces and the warmth of Lake Elsinore’s small town environment. The neighborhood builder Frontier Communities has designed the community for first-time buyers, growing families and retirees alike, offering an ideal combination of affordability and elegance.

Cottage Lane features the practicality of a downstairs bedroom and bath, along with a large loft perfect for play. The two-story homes range 1,893 to 2,466 square feet, offering up to five bedrooms, up to three baths, and side-by-side two-car garages. Pricing at Cottage Lane begins in the mid $300,000s.

“Cottage Lane has been very popular with buyers seeking affordable yet elegant homes, and they are selling quickly,” Antonio

Fiorello, vice president of sales and marketing, said. “The homes designs focus on comfort with open living spaces, stylish kitchens and large family rooms that bring everyone together. The varieties of architectural styles, including Spanish, Craftsman or Cottage, create a charming sense of place that welcomes you home.”

The three distinctive home designs feature large family rooms or great rooms, kitchens with casual dining bars, large pantries and plenty of storage. Select designs feature bedroom options that allow buyers to increase their bedroom count to five and a downstairs bedroom and bath to assure that multi-generation families can enjoy life together. Master suites offer large bedroom areas, and baths, with tub and separate shower, plus large walk-in closets.

Close to the neighborhood, public schools include Withrow Elementary, Terra Cotta Middle

School and Lakeside High School, all part of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District. Also close by are new shopping, dining and entertainment centers. The Diamond baseball field offers a season of exciting Lake Elsinore Storm home games, and the rain-replenished lake is a great destination for boating, fishing and lake sports.

The Lake Elsinore Outlet Mall is nearby, a great destination for all kinds of shopping.

Accessibility to major employment areas is made easy by proximity to the Interstate 15 corridor, linking drivers to toll roads toward Orange County and Los Angeles, plus direct access to Ontario, Corona and Riverside.

Simple ways to avoid injury while gardening TEMECULA – During the winter, many people anxiously await the arrival of warm weather so they can get back outdoors. Gardening is one outdoor activity that attracts many a devotee.

Although gardening can be a worthwhile and enjoyable hobby for people of all ages, like other activities, gardening carries certain safety risks,

even though few people may give much thought to the risk of getting hurt when gardening. The Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that gardeners suffer thousands of injuries every year.

Many of these injuries involve lawn and garden equipment or accessories used while tending to plants. From lawn mowers to pruners to manual

garden tools, gardeners may handle various pieces of equipment that can make them susceptible to injury if they’re not careful.

To reduce their risk for injury, gardeners can follow these important safety precautions.

Plant gardens in raised garden beds and containers to reduce the need to stoop down to tend to plants. Raised

beds are easier on gardeners’ backs and knees. Wear long-sleeved shirts and durable pants to protect arms and legs from branches, thorns and insects.

Remove tripping hazards, such as roots, lumber, rocks and loose gravel, from the yard at the start of gardening season.

Wear gloves to prevent blisters from forming and to protect hands from any

chemical products used in the garden.

Gloves also can keep hands clean, ensuring bacteria and fungi do not find their way into open cuts or scrapes.

Vary activities and take periodic breaks, so prolonged repetitive motions do not contribute to soreness or injury.

Follow instructions for tools, and always use the right tool for the job.

Students exercise First Amendment rights with school walkouts in response to deadly school shooting Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Editor’s note: The content in this editorial is that of the author and in no way reflects the thoughts, views or opinions of Valley News, Reeder Media or those of its employees, staff and management.

Students throughout the Temecula Unified School District exercised their First Amendment right to peacefully protest last week following the Parkland, Florida, mass school shooting where 17 people lost their lives. The goal was to raise awareness of the dangers of attending school and to have their voices heard regarding school safety as a priority for the state and federal government.

The walkout lasted about 17 minutes in honor of those 17 who lost their lives in Parkland and students.

Both high and middle school-aged students simply got out of their seats and walked out of their classrooms in protest and while the district did not support the walkout, it acknowledged how it could not pre-

vent students from exercising their right to freedom of speech. District Spokeswoman Laura Boss said the district’s main goal for the walkout was to keep the students safe.

About 350 students participated in the walkout, according to Boss and to those 350 students, I say, “Job well done!”

All too often I hear disparaging comments about the “younger generation,” and quite frankly, what these students did completely negate those statements in my mind. These are passionate youth, who weren’t looking for a way to get out of class, they were looking for a way for their voices to be heard.

These are someone’s son, someone’s daughter, cousin, brother or sister, and they just want to be safe, to not have to live in fear every time they enter their school campuses and they have a valid concern.

While several media outlets and social media are reporting 18 school shootings occurred so far in 2018, the actual number of mass shootings on campus in 2018 was only three.

There are a lot of reasons for the

disparity, mainly the definition of a school shooting being very broad, but that is neither here nor there.

Bottom line, even one school shooting is one too many in my opinion.

Anytime our children go to school, they should be worried about that math quiz, science project or term paper grades. They should worry about school stuff, teen stuff, kid stuff, not whether or not today is the day someone opens fire on them in a classroom. They shouldn’t be worried about their safety, about their very lives. And the fact that students are worried about such things are very telling in my book.

In the article “TVUSD Student Walkouts in response to Parkland, Florida, shooting,” by Stephanie Lai running in this edition of Valley News, Great Oak High School senior Rylan Vandersluis who was a main organizer of their 40-student protest shared his feelings on school shootings.

“I am tired of going to school every day in fear of death, flinching when a door opens and shuddering when I see someone with a duffle

bag walk through the middle of campus.”

Those, dear readers, are powerful words and Vandersluis is not alone.

A simple Google search shows how many stories are out there of children being terrified something like what occurred in Parkland, or Sandy Hook or Columbine could occur in their school. Search your Facebook page and see what parents are saying. It’s terrifying to know that our children feel this way. It’s sad to see student posts concerning their fears of school shootings and most of all, it’s just plain, wrong.

No matter where you sit on the political spectrum, and even whether you believe in the right to bear arms – or not – we can all agree something must be done about this problem.

I don’t have the answer, but I do know this, it starts at home. Responsible gun ownership is key. If you own weapons be sure to teach your children how to use them in a responsible manner, keep your guns locked at all times and keep the key for that lock with you, at all times.

Look for the warning signs in your

children. If they seem depressed, talk to them, if they are being bullied at school, step in and work to rectify the problem. Speak to lawmakers, speak to other parents, heck, speak to other children and parents. Do whatever you must to keep your children and the children of others safe.

For those 350 students who walked out of their schools Feb. 21, thank you for showing us how important this issue is to you. If you are one of the students who did not walkout last week, make yourself and your concerns heard. Write to your elected officials, call them, email them, tell them what your concerns and fears are. Demand change. It is your constitutionally protected right to do so My only regret on this walkout – students didn’t notify me beforehand so I could send a photographer to capture their commendable actions on film.

But hey, it’s only my opinion.

Debt collection companies have hijacked the justice system Jennifer Turner SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Denise Zencka, a mother of three in Indiana, had to file for bankruptcy because she couldn’t afford to repay her bills for treatment for thyroid cancer. And because she was unable to work, she had to stay with her parents in Florida while she recovered. She didn’t know that during that time, at the request of a debt collector seeking to collect outstanding medical bills, a small claims court judge had issued three warrants for her arrest.

When she returned to Indiana, she was arrested by local sheriff’s deputies for the private debt she owed. Once at the jail and being too sick to climb the stairs to the women’s section, she was held in a men’s mental health unit. Its glass walls allowed the male prisoners to watch everything she did, including using the toilet.

As in Zencka’s case, and in thousands of other similar cases around the country, courts are issuing arrest

warrants and serving as taxpayerfunded tools of the multi-billiondollar debt collection industry.

Debtors’ prisons were abolished

by Congress in 1833. They are often thought to be a relic of the Dickensian past. In reality, private debt collectors are using the courts to get debtors arrested and to terrorize them into paying, even when a debt is in dispute or when the debtor has no ability to pay.

Tens of thousands of arrest warrants are issued annually for people who fail to appear in court to deal with unpaid civil debt judgments. In investigating this issue for the new American Civil Liberties Union report, “A Pound of Flesh,” the ACLU examined more than 1,000 cases in 26 states, in which civil court judges issued arrest warrants for debtors. The debtors were often unaware that they had been sued. In many cases, they had not received notice to show up in court.

Arrest warrants were issued in cases involving every kind of

consumer debt or loan, including debts as small as $28. People have been arrested for debts arising from medical fees, federal and private student loans, car payments, unpaid rent, day care fees, small-business loans, credit card bills, foreclosure deficiencies, high-interest payday loans and gym fees, to name just a few types.

The process starts when a debt collector files a lawsuit, and it snowballs from there. Each year, collectors flood small-claims and other state courts with millions of suits seeking repayment. Many courts churn through collection suits with almost no scrutiny. Over 95 percent of debt collection suits end in favor of the collector, usually because alleged debtors do not or cannot mount a defense.

Then, with a judgment in hand, creditors can ask courts to require the person to show up in court for “judgment debtor examinations,” at which they are required to answer questions about their finances and assets. If the debtor does not appear

for the exam, debt collectors can ask the judge to issue a civil warrant for the debtor’s arrest.

The ACLU’s investigation found that many people missed their court dates because of work, child care responsibilities, lack of transportation, physical disability, illness or because they didn’t receive notification of the court date. They found two cases in which elderly women missed hearings because they were terminally ill. They died shortly after warrants were issued for their arrest. The threat of arrest is an incredibly powerful tactic for collectors. As one lawyer in Texas, who has sought arrests of student loan borrowers, said, “It’s easier to settle when the debtor is under arrest.”

Once arrested, a debtor may languish in jail for days until he can arrange to pay bail. Judges sometimes set bail at the exact amount of the judgment. And the bail money often is turned over to the debt collector or creditor as payment against the judgment.

Even when people aren’t arrested, warrants can cause long-lasting harm because they may be entered into background check databases, with serious consequences for future employment, housing applications, education opportunities and access to security clearances.

Predatory debt collection companies are profiting from Americans who are trapped in debt and on the financial edge as a result of the loss of a job, illness, the death of a family member or a divorce.

The impact of abusive collection practices is particularly harmful to Black and Latino communities, which face longstanding racial and ethnic gaps in poverty and wealth.

There is scant protection from collection abuses under federal and state laws. And even when there are laws in place, abuses remain largely unchecked because regulators rarely intervene to stop them.

Unless that changes, the most vulnerable debtors will continue to be victimized by predatory collectors and courts that serve them.

Suspected drugged driver goes off freeway and into Temecula home Alex Groves ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A 58-year-old man who was believed to be under the influence of drugs cut across multiple lanes of Interstate 15, launched off an embankment and into a Temecula home Monday, Feb. 26.

Mitchell Summers of Corona was taken to the hospital for a complaint of pain and later arrested on suspi-

Lassig said the incident was reported on the southbound lanes of I-15 south of Rancho California Road.

“The vehicle cut across all lanes, traveled onto the shoulder and launched off the embankment traveling in a downward position,” Lassig said, adding that it ultimately traveled through a chain link fence and into the home.

Lassig said that no one was inside the home at the time of the crash.

Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire officials wrote in a news release wrote that the vehicle crashed through the left side of an exterior garage wall.

Gas and electricity to the home were turned off as the home was being inspected. One person was displaced from the home, which was described in the release as uninhabitable.

Arizona man killed in broadside collision near Perris Alex Groves ASSOCIATE EDITOR

A 54-year-old man from Yuma, Arizona, was killed Saturday, Feb. 24, and his passenger was injured when he made a U-turn in the path of an oncoming pickup truck in a community just west of Perris, California Highway Patrol officials said.

The crash happened about 10:35 a.m. on Old Elsinore road, north of Aloha Road, in Good Hope, according to a California Highway Patrol news release.

CHP officer Dan Olivas said

that the Arizona man was driving a 2001 Honda on Old Elsinore Road followed by a 2000 Nissan Frontier, driven by a 37-year-old Perris man.

The driver of the Honda pulled to the side of the road before making a quick U-turn directly in the in front of the Nissan, according to Olivas.

The Perris man tried to swerve out of the way but ended up striking the side of the Honda with the Nissan.

The Honda ran through a bus stop bench and into a brick wall. The Arizona man, who was not wearing a seat belt, was ejected. He died at the scene, according to the CHP.

The man’s passenger was taken to the hospital for minor injuries after complaining of pain. The driver of the Nissan was uninjured.

The man had not been identified by the Riverside County Coroner’s office as of press time.

The CHP is investigating the crash and is asking anyone with information to contact the Riverside California Highway Patrol Accident Investigation Unit at (951) 637-8000.

Hemet house catches fire for second time in a month HEMET – Squatters living inside a vacant house in Hemet are believed to have caused a second fire in a month, and the dwelling was destroyed this time.

The fire was reported at about 7:50 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 24, near

the intersection of Glen Way and Menlo Avenue, according to the Hemet Fire Department.

Fire crews contained the noninjury blaze in about a half-hour.

The structure had caught fire about a month ago and had been

red-tagged and left vacant, according to the fire department.

Witnesses told fire investigators that they saw squatters inside the house just before the most recent fire started, however the cause was still under investigation.
