Hong Kong artist’s dreams come true Tony Ault Writer

A wide variety of vintage-classic cars rumble down Front Street in Old Town Temecula during the annual Rod Run “Friday Night Cruise” March 4.

Tony Ault Writer Record crowds from as far away as Canada jammed Old Town Temecula streets last weekend to enjoy the sight of 640 shined up classic, muscle and custom cars

lining every street in the historic town. The Temecula city sponsored Old Town special event that drew an estimated 55,000 people Friday afternoon and Saturday may well have broken all records for visitor attendance, according to city officials.

It was especially exciting for the winners of 30 prized wheel trophies awarded to the best of the best in the car show by local judges. It was the best day yet for Steve and Ronda Henne whose 1955 Ford F100 rebuilt from scrap won the Best of Show Trophy. The 29 other

Temecula Valley Motoring Enthusiasts celebrates 10 years of autos with car show Crystal Olmedo Valley News Intern

Yan Wing Foon, celebrated Hong Kong artist and calligrapher, even though seriously ill in his native country, with the help of his family, saw his dream of bringing his art to America come true Saturday, March 5, in Sun City.

It all began simply enough 10 years ago. Two men bumping into each other accidentally and sharing a cup of coffee eventually evolved into what it is today, the Temecula Valley Motoring Enthusiasts.

Known throughout the valley for their monthly “get together’ this group gathers to talk about what gets their motors running – cars and trucks of all kinds.

In 2005, founding members Cy Rathbun and Ray Cargould, a vintage car tech inspector, would meet weekly by chance when Cargould would drive from DeLuz to buy coffee for his wife at what used to be Madeleine’s Coffee Shop – now known as Mad Mike’s Coffee Shop in Temecula.

“We wouldn’t make plans I just happened to be there meeting other people for business,” Rathbun said.

Great Oak Staff shows off talent for a cause Jacob Preal Valley News Intern A single spotlight shimmers out from the darkness. The auditorium is packed full with teenagers and a parent here or there. The youthful audience roars in excitement with curtains drawn and performers cycled through.

Where most schools might only marvel at the promising talent of their aspiring students, Great Oak High School decided to share the spotlight with their teachers and staff members March 2 at their second annual Staff Showcase. Local students will be talking about lost voices for weeks after screaming for their favorite teachers on stage and to top it all off, every dollar

spent to celebrate their teachers contributed to a great cause.

The Wolfpack gave a warm welcome to American Cancer Society correspondent Joanne Pann-Kydd.

She spoke briefly about their aims to advance cancer research and commemorate those who lost their lives to cancer. She also invited audience members to the annual Relay for Life event, where participants can walk for up to 24 hours long to raise awareness for cancer.

Though eager to experience the talents of their beloved teachers, the crowd could not help feeling a wave of chills when she announced, “Cancer never sleeps and so neither do we.”

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer With a team name like “Ta Ta Sisterhood it’s gotta be good.”

That was the theory behind Kendra Thomas and her sister’s Reality Rally fundraising team three years ago. Now, Kendra with her two sisters – Andrea Dunham and Tonya Tedesco – continue to raise money for the fun for funds event, coming to Temecula in April 2016.

“We always wanted to raise money to benefit Michelle’s Place and this year, we’ve set our fundraising minimum to $1,000,” she said.

Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center has been the benefactor of Reality Rally since its inception. The annual event draws in reality show contestants from the popular to the obscure, giving larger than life personalities the opportunity to donate their celebrity for a good cause.

Founder Gillian Larson – Kendra’s mother – first had the epiphany of Reality Rally, after her stint on “Survivor Gabon.” Gillian, a South African native and one of Temecula’s favorite residents, has passed the love of donating to Michelle’s Place, and remembering Michelle Watson, the brave young woman who succumbed to breast cancer, for whom the charity was named.

“This year, I had an abnormal mammogram for the first time ever,” Thomas said. “Everything turned out OK, but this year’s Reality Rally feels extra personal to me.”

When a Reality Rally team raises a certain amount of funds, teams get the chance to pick their own reality

star to join with in the “Amazing Race” style event through Old Town Temecula.

The idea to join in as a Reality Rally team was a natural for Thomas, being how her mother founded the event.

“My mom wanted to use her 15 minutes of fame to do some good in the world and in our community,” she said. “Every April, she invites over 100 reality television stars to come to Temecula. My sisters and I formed the Ta Ta Sisterhood as our way to take part on race day. But ultimately, it’s all about Michelle and her dream of having a location for women fighting breast cancer, to help support them through their battle.”

While Thomas enjoys participating in Reality Rally every year, most of all, she loves seeing her mother take her vision and make it a reality, year after year.

“It’s changed my world and reminds me that I can make my own dreams and visions come true,” Thomas said. “Each donation from Reality Rally helps local women obtain much needed services while they fight breast cancer. That is a blessing.”

This year, each team at Reality Rally must raise a certain amount to participate. Thomas and her sisters are working toward their $1,000 goal.

“We’ve raised just over $600 so far,” she said. “We had never done a fundraiser before, but my little sister was getting creative, so we decided to host a fun run in her neighborhood, with donations going toward our team. Now, with the Left, Right,

Center game night at Harveston Lake in April, we are hoping to not just meet but beat our goal.”

The next fundraiser for the Ta Ta Sisterhood team is the aforementioned Left, Right, Center tournament in April which has already gained a large amount of local interest.

“The price for entry is $10 per person. We will have a raffle, and great prizes for the winners,” she said.

Dream Dinners, the meal preparation service in Temecula, has donated a free introductory offer and a Taste Party for 10 people as one of the allotted prizes. All funds raised will be donated to Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center.

“We thank Dream Dinners for their generous donation,” Dunham said.

Other prizes include Europa Village, with donations of wine and complimentary wine tastings, and Kia FIT, Young’s Nail Spa gift certificates, Paper Pincushion memory custom treasures, Papa Murphy’s, Chik Fil A, Albertson’s, Simply Kneaded massage services, Trattoria Toscana and four tickets to Reality Rally Casino Night.

For the event, light snacks and desserts will be offered and adults only are invited to attend. Join the Ta Ta Sisterhood Left, Right, Center Fundraising Party on April 2, at Harveston Lake House, 29005 Lake House Drive from 7 – 11 p.m.

Reality Rally is a three-day event coming this April. For more information on how to attend or build a team of your own, visit www.

TALENT from page A-1 All proceeds from the event went directly to American Cancer Society.

Energetic host Sadiki Ellis, always a fan favorite among students, set the mood perfectly when he proclaimed that he was the “tall, dark and handsome” one after bursting onto the stage. A humorous and excitable host, Ellis would break up the various staff acts with some of his own talents, including basketball moves, beatboxing and twirling flags with some of the school’s color guard – the latter of which ended with a perfect splits.

Sadiki garnered an auditorium full of cheers and approval whenever he came out onstage, especially when he had a new outfit to go with another one of his talents. Students went wild with each act.

When it came time for teachers to perform, there was an air of favoritism as screams from the crowd accompanied the announcement of a beloved teacher’s name. Even in the first act, Stephen Secules, baritone of the barbershop quartet “Settle on One,” could not escape the screeches from his students watching in the audience. Another fan favorite, Gary “Mendocino” Oddi made his appearance onstage in his tie-dye shirt and headband.

After giving the audience his “Peace, love, not war” speech, a crew of his fellow hippie students joined him onstage to sing “Let’s Work Together.” The crowd was especially ecstatic when he pulled out his harmonica and began to wail away with those hippie vibes.

Self-proclaimed “Karaoke King” Herschel Ramirez interacted with the audience when he encourages others to sing Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” along with him.

The steady pulse of the electric guitar boomed along with Preston Beach’s harsh singing words:

Preston Beach concentrates on playing “The Voice” on electric guitar as his fingers search for the right chords to play.

“Better listen to the voice.” Brett Baughman, along with student Tony Robinson, also etched the exhilarating blare of thunderous sound into the audience’s souls.

For the more culturally astute, Maria Jones, her daughter Jessica Jones and Diana Mendez performed the spanish flamenco dance to “Mariachi Vargas Son de la Negra” in vivid, colorful dresses.

Lights later dimmed to pitch black for Meghan Santone and Alexandra Howard, both known for teaching American Sign Language at Great Oak High School, to lead the ASL Club in signing to the song “Fireflies” with blue-glowing hands. In

the darkness, only two sets of blue hands and a swarm of green pairs of hands could be seen moving along to the song.

In a more precious moment, Santone sat just before the stage to lead her two twins to dance to “Over the Rainbow” for collective sighs of “ooh’s” and “aww’s” from the audience.

From a historically celebrated school with so many students, it can be easy to forget about the great work that goes on behind the scenes. The Great Oak High School Staff Showcase shed light on the gifts of the teachers, while giving back to the community.

With blue hands, Meghan Santone (left) and Alexandra Howard (right) lead the way for students to sign to the lyrics of “Fireflies” with glowing green hands.

Fostering independence, one home at a time Bianca Hollins Writer Another year, and there is even greater hopes and possibilities for Rancho Damacitas Children & Family Services, an organization dedicated to serving the foster youth in Southern California.

Beginning with a loving couple and their four foster children, nonprofit Rancho Damacitas has grown over the past 30 years to include multiple residential homes housing dozens of foster children.

Many foster children often have experienced abuse, neglect, and uncertainty about their place in the world and know how important the support of a community and programs are to them.

Touched by the stories of those in their care, the Rancho Damacitas’ staff works continually to eliminate that worry by providing enrichment opportunities, counseling, college scholarships through Project Independence, a unique, transitional housing program to help youth achieve self-sufficiency beyond their time in the organization’s care.

For those who have reached the age of 18, this initiative requires securing jobs, learning budgeting, rent and expense management and other household responsibili-

ties, all while living in an off-site apartment or home. The teens are assisted by live-in mentors who help them with pursuing an array of personal goals, including career building, pursuing higher education, purchasing a car and saving enough money to eventually move out on their own to achieve full independence.

With approximately 50 percent of former foster youth becoming homeless within their first two years of leaving the foster care system, Rancho Damacitas recognizes their need and is working to change these dismal statistics.

After years of instability, program resident, Jarid, 23, humbly states that one of the best things about the program is “simply having a nice home to live in.” Now Jarid is thriving, working a parttime job, attending a local community college and is giving back by giving presentations to stakeholders to advocate for his peers and other kids still in the system.

His roommate, Achaia, 21, says he really appreciates “just being able to come home for a good night’s sleep after a long day.” When not volunteering his time to teach dance to middle-schoolers, Achaia works two part-time jobs and also attends community college.

Currently, keeping the program

running including all housing, school, and transitioning costs is mostly through community funding and help from donors who make monthly or yearly donations.

Yet, the money given not only provides for material comforts but also a greater psychological benefit; knowing there are those residents who they have never met who wish them to succeed.

Director of Emancipated Services,Steve Liapis, emphasizes that “the passions and dreams of the youth participating in Project Independence center on paying forward the generosity and kindness shown them. They wish to enter public service fields ranging from nursing, to firefighting to law enforcement. This is just one way they would like to return the appreciation of their larger adopted ‘family.’”

Many misconceptions exist as to what foster care services provide and what the youth who cycle through the programs go on to achieve. There is a need to remove doubts and showcase the humanity of the children. The compassionate staff and mentors deal with the unfortunate necessity of this and is their No. 1 priority.

In that spirit, Rancho Damacitas is extending an invitation to “An Intimate Evening” March

18, where guests will learn about Project Independence hear the personal journeys of some of the mentors and youth of the program and just what a difference community contributions make. The evening will include a progressive dinner provided by Ponte and Wilson Creek wineries, concluding with a Smokey Robinson concert at Pechanga Resort. Proceeds will go to the support of the Rancho Damacitas’ Project Independence program.

With this event and others, the leadership of Rancho Damacitas

hope to remind residents that circumstances are not insurmountable. Anyone is capable of making a difference and providing not just material support but the guidance and encouragement children need to carve out a space of their own and make the world better; today, tomorrow and always.

TVME Founder Cy Rathbun poses with Trisha Cargould, widow of cofounder Ray Cargould in front of the Austin Cooper S that started it all 10 years ago.

“Over a period of months we talked about the idea of having a car event.”

The two started the group with the intent of meeting others who shared their passion for automobiles.

The first meeting was held March 4, 2006, after the two decided on a little less talk and a lot more action.

“Finally one day, I said look let’s do this and pick a day, first Saturday of March,” Rathbun said. “I asked him if he knew anybody with cars (that would like to come) and I said I know a couple people with cars, but I don’t really know that many.

That started it and we began to grow after that.”

At that meeting Rathbun met Scott Shaw who had been invited

by Cargould. Shaw is now the “head email guy” for the group.

The meetings began informally,

Summit isn’t only geared toward the nearly 500 teenagers projected to attend the Youth Summit.

but over the years they found fellow car lovers they added as board members of their group.

Justin Ballou, another board member, handles the website work for the organization.

“I love the friendship and the people that I have met over the years from TVME,” Ballou said.

“They have brought knowledge and great stories which have enriched my life. I jauntily invite others to come join us on the first Saturday of every month. There are great cars, great stories, and longtime friendships to be had.”

Each member is valued for who they are and what they contribute to the group. “(Ballou) became the IT guy, Scott was a manager at Abbott (Global Healthcare and Research) so he kept things organized,” Rathbun said. “I was sort of the talk, the marketing guy and Ray was Ray, he could do anything anybody asked him to do.”

The four moseyed along over the years and eventually moved over to Cosi’s at the Temecula Promenade, at the suggestion or Cargould, where they nicknamed the meetings Cars and Cosi’s.

“That’s really when it got to be what it is today,” Rathbun said. “It got much bigger.”

Marc Schweighofer, was then added as a board member and is now their club’s point of contact for new member nametags.

“I found TVME quite by accident,” Schweighofer said. “I was driving near the former Cosi’s (now D&K Café) in 2010, when I noticed several nice cars and their owners in the parking lot. I stopped, asked whether the group met on a regular basis, and have been a TVME member ever since.”

The group is open to car lovers no matter what type of car they may have to show.

“I particularly enjoy the fact that TVME welcomes all motoring enthusiasts, without focusing (or)

specializing in a particular make, generation or genre,” Schweighofer said.

Rathbun said they strive to keep the environment one that is respectable because they meet in public places. So no silly behavior such as burnouts, excessive loudness or exhibitions of speed are permitted at their events.

Rathbun said the organization is accepting of every demographic – men, women, children and anything with a motor, with the exception of RVs. “We don’t really look for people to add, anyone is welcome, Rathbun said. “We don’t have a criteria.

We are very low key people. We look for people’s heart and attitude. Whatever anybody’s got is welcome. Generally, we say, ‘if it burns oil and has a motor bring it.’”

Cars featured at their meetings can range from hot rods to high end cars like Porsches and Bugatti’s, even to a daily driver like the Kia Rathbun currently drives.

The group said they are thankful for the cooperation and kindness of business owners whose locations they meet at.

Cargould’s wife Trisha attended their monthly meeting March 5, in the Temecula Promenade Mall parking lot.

“When Cy and Ray talked about starting this up, I thought it was wonderful,” Trisha Cargould said.

“Cars were always Ray’s love. He had been working on a bugeye Sprite for 30 years. He used to go down the hill [from DeLuz] to get coffee for me every Saturday morning.”

Sadly, Cargould died in 2010 and Rathbun said the members still honor who he is at every meeting.

“We keep people’s dreams alive and we no matter if they’re with us or not,” Rathbun said. “We want to provide a place for young people to dream. It’s really about people.

Cars aren’t anything without a driver.”

Rathbun is a throat cancer survivor and said he has come to appreciate the struggles and the time he spends with his fellow motor enthusiasts.

“I had cancer last year and so I missed a lot,” Rathbun said. “I’m doing pretty good. I have little issues all the time, but I take care of them and keep going.”

Those with a passion for motors and people and even those who just want to see some unique cars are encouraged to check out one of the group’s monthly meetings.

Murrieta City Council to review city sign ordinances Tony Ault Writer The Murrieta City Council, on the suggestion of city staff, several local businessmen and Murrieta Chamber of Commerce President Patrick Ellis, approved the reestablishment of a sign ordinance task force to update the city’s sign ordinances at the March 1 Council meeting.

The council met in a workshop to hear an update on the city’s sign ordinances from the city staff who reported that a recent Supreme Court decision, Reed vs. the Town of Gilbert, Arizona, said all non-commercial residential signs must be equal in size and removal

requirements. The case may result in changes in the current city sign ordinances, according to the staff.

Some changes in the current ordinances were suggested including the size limitations and the time allowed for temporary sign removal.

Depending on the type of sign the city has different size limitations and wants them down within 30 days. The staff recommended certain sign sizes be enlarged slightly and given 120 days for removal.

The council took no immediate action on the requests but agreed to appoint a sign ordinance task force to review and make recommendations for changes that will comply with the Reed vs. Gilbert decision.

Ellis, several local businessmen,

and members of the city development staff will be appointed to the task force.

In other business the City Council members and staff reviewed its legislative platform. The city council legislative platform reflects its declared policy positions. Many bills are introduced each year in the United States Congress and the California State Legislature.

Legislative representatives of the city keep track of the bills moving through the government houses many may affect the city’s goals and regulations.

As a result, the council, doing its best to represent Murrieta resident viewpoints, sets up their legislative platform offering its support or op-

position to the bills. The platform enables city staff to efficiently affect legislative bills based on the overarching principles of prudent fiscal stability, protection of local control and transparent government.

The council policy is on public record that can be obtained on the Murrieta City Council website or through the city clerk’s office.

The council weighs in on 14 areas of legislation regarding general government, immigration, local government finance, economic development, labor relations, transportation, land use planning, housing, law enforcement and judicial, fire service, social service programs, resource conservation and management, parks and recreation

programs and regional and international governance.

In the meeting, council offered its support to legislation that provides a balance between the increased demand in short-term residential rentals with the increased cost burden on local government services.

They oppose legislation that legalizes motorcycle lane splitting because of the added burden of reimbursable costs to the city for public safety response due to accidents. There have been a number of motorcycle lane-splitting accidents in the city and in the region recently that have resulted in fatalities. Some states prohibit such actions by motorcyclists because of the inherent danger it poses.

New endowment program launches in Temecula Valley MURRIETA – The Community Foundation, in collaboration with Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center, Oak Grove Center for Education Treatment & the Arts and the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation, has launched a new effort to support the greater financial stability of the three nonprofit organizations serving the Temecula Valley.

Called the Temecula Valley Endowment Program, it aims to encourage donors who want to support the organizations’ endowment funds at The Community Foundation through outright gifts and legacy gifts. The program was recently unveiled in Wildomar at The Corporate Room during a reception event for donors interested in supporting the great work of these organizations.

Each organization began their endowment with the Foundation as a way to establish their permanence within the community. Now leaders from each organization have come together to build their individual endowments through a consortium that would respect their individual donor populace, while inspiring charitable giving in the Temecula Valley.

The consortia selected Jeff McNurlan to manage the programs as the program’s director to facilitate and grow the potential of

Crime up in Riverside County RIVERSIDE – Crime in Riverside County was on the rise in 2015, with particular increases across the board in the county›s unincorporated areas, according to statistics released by the Riverside County Sheriff›s Department.

Overall, the county experienced a 7.4 percent increase in all reported FBI part I crimes. Part I crimes include homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, vehicle theft and arson.

Auto thefts increased by more than 20 percent in 2015, the highest number reported since 2007, with more than one thousand additional auto thefts from 2014 to 2015. The increase was in line with a national trend of vehicle thefts, the sheriff’s department said, citing the National Insurance Crime Bureau.

Violent crime, which includes homicide, rape, robbery and aggravated assault, increased by 6.6 percent.

Property crime, robberies and aggravated assaults all increased by 7.4 percent throughout the county.

Reported rapes increased by 2.4 percent.

However, dramatic decreases were seen in other areas, with homicides down 26 percent (47 in 2014 compared to 35 in 2015) and burglaries down 20 percent (8,296 in 2014 compared to 6,632 in 2015).

The sheriff’s department said a stark contrast can be seen when isolating crime statistics from the 17 contract cities that the department polices to the unincorporated county areas, which also fall under the department›s purview.

Unincorporated county areas experienced a 14.6 percent increase in all FBI Part I crimes, the highest amount since 2012.

Violent crimes were up 18.3 percent, property crime up 14.6 percent, aggravated assaults up 24.8 percent, vehicle thefts up 42.1 percent, robbery up 19.4 percent and larceny theft up 16.6 percent.

Unincorporated Riverside County did see a 32.1 percent decrease in rape and a 29.4 percent decrease in homicides.

Lake Elsinore goes green with E-Waste collection Jacob Preal Valley News Intern Community Outreach Ministry will be hosting a Free Electronic Waste Collection Event March 12-13 at the local Albertsons in Lake Elsinore. Electronic Waste,

or e-waste includes any electronic with a plug and the electronics that go with them, including televisions and their remotes, toasters, vacuums and even scrap metal. People are encouraged to discard their EWaste with Community Outreach Ministry, as proceeds will fund

scholarships for at-risk children to give them the chance to make a positive change in their lives.

Earnings from the event will go toward giving “at-risk kids a second chance to be winners and champions by helping to break the cycle of crime, incarceration, illiteracy, poverty and self-destruction,” according to Community Outreach Ministry, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Every year, the nonprofit fundraises in order to send these children to a summer camp where they can “make new friends and have fun, discover a whole new world of possibilities and raise their expectations for a promising future.”

Community Outreach Ministry is also looking to help individuals and businesses unload obsolete technology and promote local buyers within the community.

The E-Waste Collection Event will take a wide range of discarded electronics over the two-day period. Community Outreach Ministry insists that materials can be in any condition as long as they fit the description of e-waste. This generally includes any piece of hardware that contains a circuit board or an

electric plug. Community Outreach Ministry, accepts materials including televisions, computer monitors, printers, DVD and VCR players, cell phones, power supplies and even car and forklift batteries.

Microwaves will also be accepted with a $5.00 service fee.

With federal mandate requiring televisions to switch from analog to digital, televisions are on item that is likely to be discarded at this event, as many of the obsolete ones are only cluttering garages or being left out on the streets. Community Outreach Ministry hopes that this event will act as an outlet to properly dispose of this technology.

Items not accepted at the event include washers, dryers and refrigerators, as these are considered white household goods rather than e-waste. Other uncollected items include household batteries and fluorescent light bulbs.

Once e-waste is collected, Community Outreach Ministry Staff take inventory on all the received items and then proceed to dismantle and treat the waste. Dismantling usually entails either taking a device apart piece by piece or

simply crushing and shredding them. Often times, certain waste will contain mercury or other toxic substances and will then be treated accordingly. Nationwide, e-waste makes up about 40 percent of lead and mercury content in landfills.

After treatment, each piece is then smelted down so that it can be used in producing new products.

This event can be an opportune time for students and members of both Boy and Girl Scouts to learn about the effects e-waste can have on the environment. Participating students will receive vouchers for extra credit and Boy and Girl Scouts can earn points toward their community service badges.

The recycler, which received positive reference from the Temecula Chamber of Commerce, can be found at the Albertsons Store on 30901 Riverside Drive in Lake Elsinore. The e-waste collection will take place March 12-13.

To volunteer or sponsor the event, call (951) 698-7650, send an email to info@communityoutreachministry.org or visit communityoutreachministry.org.

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a rezone and general plan amendment for a 77.7acre Menifee Valley parcel.

The supervisors’ 5-0 vote Feb. 9 changes the parcel’s zoning from A-1-5 (Light Agricultural - five acre minimum) to R-1 (OneFamily Dwelling) while changing the general plan foundation component from Rural to Community Development and changing the land use designation from Rural Residential (five-acre minimum) to Medium Density Residential (two

to five dwelling units per acre).

The supervisors also adopted an environmental Mitigated Negative Declaration for the rezone and general plan amendment.

The property owned by Sook P. Choh is located north of Scott Road, south of Wickerd Road, east of El Centro Lane, and west of Leon Road. Although it is within the Estate Density Residential and Rural Residential Policy Area which requires new development to adhere to the Rural Residential or Estate Density Residential (twoacre minimum) densities that policy allows for denser development if there is a general area-wide prop-

erty owner consensus to change the land use pattern. The Foundation Component General Plan Amendment application for the project was one of several submitted during the 2008 cycle, and an existing residential tract immediately to the west was constructed under Medium Density Residential standards. A new high school is planned approximately a quarter of a mile northeast of the property addressed Feb. 9.

On Oct. 21 the county’s Planning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the rezone and general plan amendment.

is fast approaching. A group of the Society members will travel to Salt Lake City to spend about five days utilizing the huge research facility provided by the LDS Family History Library. For the past 13 years, members have availed themselves of the books, microfilm, computers, and experts that enable TVGS members to research family ancestors from the U.S. and around the world.

The First Friday classes, DNA classes, Computer Users group, and the special interest groups along with research assistance at the Ronald H. Roberts Library on Pauba Road in on the second Saturday and fourth Tuesday, are additional aids that the Society offers not only to its members but also to interested citizens of this area.

If you have an interest in finding your family’s past, you can attend a Temecula Valley Genealogy Society’s meeting on the second Monday of each month in the Community Room of the Temecula City Hall at 6:30 p.m. For additional information about TVGS contactbarbgma9@yahoo.com.

“As a mom, I›ve seen my kids› schools over the years request Social Security numbers, medical information, and other private information that they don›t need or have a right to,” Gonzalez said.

“Rather than expecting parents to have the knowledge and capacity to fight to protect their child›s privacy, we should get schools out of the business of asking in the first place.”

“Our school districts are collecting personal information about our children that is neither legally required nor necessary for their education,” said Melendez. “With identity theft at an all-time high,

Local RODS from page A-1 Streets proudly giving a history of the car they rebuilt, customized and showed.

Dawn Adamiak, Temecula Community Services Old Town event chairman and recreation supervisor said, “the 2016 Temecula Rod Run was a huge success. We had great crowds both Friday night and Saturday, a sold out show and perfect weather. The Temecula Rod Run really is Southern California’s premier car show.”

Equally pleased at the success of the event were City of Temecula police officers and volunteers who patrolled the streets on motorcycles and on foot during the two-day event.

“From a law enforcement perspective the event was a great success,” Sgt. Marc Cloutier said. “The crowds were large but very well behaved.

The Temecula Police Department made no arrests related to the event.”

The motorcycle officers on the scene watched the hundreds of custom, muscle and classic cars parked on the streets making sure that no one except the registered drivers parked their cars in their assigned spots. Friday night they patrolled the area in the evening to secure the cars that remained in place. Some of the cars represent more than $100,000 in time and value the owners put into their vehicles.

“The department did tow eight vehicles over the two-day event for parking in no parking zones,” Cloutier the storefront supervisor and special events officer explained. “I opted to give them a substantial grace period for illegally parked cars prior to taking enforcement action. Eight other vehicle owners were cited for illegal parking and moved their cars prior to necessitating towing. All in all, a very quiet and peaceful event from my perspective.”

For many of the car owners from many backgrounds, but with a great interest in classic, custom, vintage or muscle cars from years gone by, it was a tremendous adventure. Jeremy Kite from Canyon Lake was one of the car owners, very proud of his 1963 Chevy Nova SS white pearl painted two-door convertible he had spent two years restoring. Its red leather interior and classic body-style belayed the new 388 horsepower V-8 engine that lay beneath the hood.

It was the first time Kite had

entered his car in a show and he hoped to win one of the trophies. “It is awesome,” said Kite. At 5 p.m.

roared with the sound of open headers, 1950s music, honking horns and the cheers of the thousands of spectators that crowded every intersection.

Children, wide-eyed and stunned by the colorful flashing lights in the cars and the noise of the crowd showed their delight.

Later that evening car owners and spectators gathered at the many restaurants enjoying the food, drinks and camaraderie only such an event affords. Bands played at different locations in town, prompting the fun seekers to dance and sing late into the evening.

Saturday morning brought even more visitors straining the limited parking areas surrounding Old Town.

Police closed off Old Town from arch to arch for the two-day event, but most motorists didn’t mind the parking limitations and made their way to the streets where the shiny cars with their open hoods, chromed motors and fancy wheel covers had them soon forget their stressful arrival.

Drivers and owners enjoyed sharing their car customizing experience with onlookers and ideas with their other auto aficionados.

Vendors that lined the City Hall fountain circle were doing a brisk business throughout the event. A variety of foods and other items were offered, all at reasonable prices. The Community Services Department booth aided visitors with information and souvenirs so people would always remember one of the premier events in Temecula.

Adamiak and her community services crew and many volunteers that worked so hard to make the 2016 Old Town Temecula Rod Run a great success were already making plans for the upcoming events the city is sponsoring Monday. “We are gearing up for the Teen Glowin-the-Dark Egg Hunt on Friday, March 18, the annual Easter Egg Hunts on March 26 and Temecula Special Games on April 23.”

Democratic presidential candidates leave a lot to be desired Kim Harris Managing Editor Every year we have a presidential election, I love to watch the debates and do my research so I can be an informed voter. Debate night is kind of like date night in my house as my husband and I settle down with a bowl of popcorn to see what potential presidential candidates from each party have to say about the issues that are important to us and this year is no different.

What is new this year, however, is the caliber of the candidates. On the Democratic side, my focus for this week, we have a big fat liar in Hillary Clinton and what is being called a “Social Democrat” in Bernie Sanders. Neither appeal to me at any level.

Clinton, who is currently under investigation by the FBI regarding that infamous email server scandal, continues to be in denial of the situation, saying earlier this week that the FBI had not informed her that she is the subject of a probe over her

email practices as secretary of state.

The FBI, however confirmed the investigation in a letter disclosed in a federal court filing back in February.

In case you haven’t heard, Clinton chose to use a private email server during her time as secretary of state to send classified emails and information to those she was in contact with. For the four years she held that office, Clinton allegedly never used an official state.gov email address.

Instead, she relied exclusively on a private email account housed on her own personal server to conduct her government business, according to various news outlets and the government’s investigation into the allegations. Supposedly she never used her secure government email, not once.

There are two big problems with this for me, by using her private email account and server Clinton effectively shielded her emails from Freedom of Information Act requests, congressional subpoenas and other searches, which tells me that she had something to hide. What

a way to sneak around behind the backs of the press and deny the spirit of Sunshine Laws, Hillary.

The second and bigger problem with her use of an unsecured email server is one of national security. It seems like nowadays any kid with the slightest technical ability can hack into any server should they so choose, and that is the way classified information is leaked. There is no question that she put our troops and others in harm’s way by using a personal server instead of the one provided to her by the federal government.

Originally she said that she never had classified information on her server, she has since changed that stance and now is using the phrases “at the time” and “marked or designated” as clarifying statements to her email problem. In my mind, she is essentially admitting that she did have classified information stored there. I can’t even force myself to get past the email scandal to look at her stance on the issues. This woman

can’t be trusted and as such has no business being the president of the United States, period.

So I am left wondering, why is she the front runner for the democratic nomination? Maybe some astute reader can clarify that for me, but in my opinion, she is as crooked as they come.

On to Sanders.

While he has a ton of grassroots supporters and I like the idea of free college for my kids, I have to wonder what Sanders’ plan to create that freebie will do to our already floundering economy. Allegedly the move would cost something like $95 billion a year and with the national debt hovering around the $19.1 trillion mark, I just don’t know that taking that particular hit is a smart move for the country as a whole. The same could be said for free healthcare which would be estimated to cost $2.2 trillion annually.

So where would the money come from to pay for these two programs?

Why, the taxpayer of course. A rough

estimate of the cost, based on the current U.S. population is $6,898 per person. Now I am not saying that each individual would have to pay that much annually, I’m just throwing out the cost of it for argument’s sake.

I am in agreement with some of Sanders’ platform, such as family values, boosting the rural economy and strengthening Social Security.

Some other concerns I have regarding Sanders include some news outlets referring to him as a being opposed to free trade between nations, his plan to increase minimum wage nationwide to unsustainable levels and his plan to expand on welfare.

Even though we will probably look at tax increases should Sanders become president, I do believe Sanders is the lesser of the two evils on the democratic side, so he would probably get my vote in a primary, but hey, it’s only my opinion.

Tune in next week for my thoughts on the Republican side of the race.

nesses and individuals that volunteer their time and treasure to help make these homes possible.

Companies stepping up to donate to this worthy project include Prospect Mortgage, with a locally owned office in Escondido, Budget Blinds, serving San Marcos, CertaPro Painters, also located in Escondido, and Youngren Construction of Fallbrook.

These contributions of time, product, construction and financial resources are typical of the support provided

by small businesses nationwide that have resulted in construction of hundreds of homes for deserving veterans like Sgt. Gaal.

As outstanding examples of the deep community involvement and commitment exhibited by so many small business owners and their employees, I am proud to designate Prospect Mortgage, Budget Blinds, CertaPro Painters and Youngren Construction as my “Businesses of the Month” for February, 2016.

Local businesses support our troops Marie Waldron Special to Valley News Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, both locally and at the national level. The jobs and opportunities they create are absolutely essential to our nation’s overall prosperity. But more than that, by giving back to the people who have supported their success, small businesses often reflect the very best that’s in us by mirroring the

heart and soul of our communities.

Each month, in my continuing efforts to support and encourage local businesses, I salute a small business by designating it my Business of the Month. For the month of February, I would like to jointly honor four local businesses that have stepped up in a huge way to support severely injured veterans who have given so much to defend our nation and our individual liberties.

Recently, Homes for Our Troops

(HFOT) held a ground breaking ceremony in Escondido to commemorate construction of a new home for Marine Sgt. Toran Gaal, who suffered a severe brain injury and the loss of both legs to an IED in Afghanistan.

HFOT is a privately funded 501(c) (3) that builds mortgage-free, specially designed homes for our nation’s most severely injured veterans.

But their efforts would be fruitless without the support of many busi-

Immigration questions FOX News won’t ask Jane Chastain Special to Valley News Immigration is one of the most important issues, if not the most important issue, in the 2016 presidential election. However, most debates, including the Thursday, March 10, debate on Fox News, will have left voters largely in the dark on just how the candidates will handle the matter.

There likely will be questions on securing the border and what to do with the 11-20 million people who are in this country illegally, but here are the all-important questions that likely will go unanswered: Currently, there are 71.8 million working-age U.S. citizens and immigrants who are either unemployed,

not in the labor force, or forced to work part-time. Does it make any sense to continue admitting over 1 million permanent residents a year, and several hundred thousand guest workers, since so many Americans and legal immigrants need full-time employment?

One of the arguments for admitting unskilled workers is that they do the jobs Americans won’t do. If we stop the flow of unskilled workers, isn’t it fair to say that this will drive up wages for these jobs and make them more attractive to American workers?

On the other side of this coin is the plight of skilled American workers who were laid off because their employers have imported some

Beach Boys set to perform at Pala’s Starlight Theater PALA – Legendary pop rockers The Beach Boys will perform on the Starlight Theater stage at 8 p.m., Friday, June 17, at Pala Casino Spa & Resort.

You can summarize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had or how many million albums they’ve sold. But, those conventional measurements fall short when you assess the impact of The Beach Boys. To be sure, the band has birthed a torrent of hit singles and sold albums by the tens of millions. But, the greater significance lies in the fact that it changed the musical landscape so profoundly that every pop act since has been in its debt.

650,000 foreign workers under the H1-B and L-1 programs to replace them at half the going wage. Disney and Southern California Edison recently have been exposed for this practice. Presently, two-thirds of entry-level IT jobs go to foreign workers through the H1-B program.

Would you abolish it?

A big reason skilled foreign workers are willing to work for these wages is that it allows them to bypass the immigration process and, in a few short years, become citizens.

Would you abolish this practice?

Currently, 75 percent of our science, technology, engineering and math graduates are unemployed in these fields, yet American companies continue to import STEM workers. Many of these foreign workers make the transition right from American colleges and universities.

What would you do about that?

Approximately 300,000-400,000 babies are born here each year to foreign mothers who have entered our country illegally. That’s approximately 1 in 10 births. Our country and Canada are the only remaining advanced economies that offer citizenship to children born to illegal aliens. What would you do about this?

Politicians who favor allowing

those who have broken into our country to stay often make the argument that we can’t separate families, referring to those who have an anchor baby or two. What’s keeping those families from taken their children home with them?

Another 35,000 women enter our country legally as tourists for the sole purpose of giving birth to sidestep the immigration process. What would you do about this?

Currently, most illegal immigrants who are apprehended at the border or ports of entry are simply given a ticket and allowed to enter the United States and told to show up for a court date. Will you end this policy and simply stop them at the border or detain them at ports of entry until they can be returned to their countries of origin?

Current law requires legal immigrants and their American sponsors to certify that they will be economically self-sufficient. However, 49 percent of households headed by a legal immigrant receive some form of government assistance. Will you enforce the public-charge doctrine?

Would it surprise you to know that only two of the four remaining candidates have said they would end birthright citizenship? A third said, “It makes no sense.” One supports it,

and the other pretends it was settled by the 14th Amendment.

Would it surprise you to know that only two of the five remaining candidates have said they will enforce current law and deport those who are found to be here illegally?

One of the two says he would allow the “good ones” to return, whatever that means. Two support a pathway to citizenship.

Would it surprise you to know that only two candidates would suspend the H1-B program? A third would triple it with some changes and allow all foreign college students to remain here after graduation. The other candidate has not been challenged on this all-important issue.

Unfortunately, these questions likely won’t be asked of the candidates in the Fox News debate. You must find the answers for yourself.

Don’t simply vote and hope for the best.

Dining in the Valley Celebrating nostalgia, 65 years of pastrami heaven at The Hat

Murrieta Store Manager, David Montoya (l.) with The Hat President, Joe Conzonire.

Behind the counter, The Hat employees pile your order high with generous portions at this favorite Murrieta fast food joint.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer

T

he latest in The Hat restaurant chain sits atop a hill for all to see in Murrieta, California. This family style eatery greets you with a 1950s diner feel from the bright neon chef’s hat logo to the tiled entry and behind-thecounter retro menu.

The Hat was made famous, 65 years ago, with their signature pastrami sandwich. Still churning out the piled-high treats, the restaurant now has 11 different locations across southern California, The Hat has become one of the favored stops for lunch and dinner in southwest Riverside County.

With a high visibility location, at Murrieta Hot Springs, just off I-215, it is the perfect place to stop, grab and go.

The Hat’s original restaurant – which opened in Alhambra in 1951 – was an iconic 1950s diner and the restaurant chain has carried on that tradition from the sodas at the fountain to the well-ordered packets of condiments by the packet in Plexiglas containers. Food is stacked on cardboard trays, and service here always comes with a smile.

No time to go inside? Head through the drive through. The Hat invites you to come, sit down and enjoy a meal and make some memories with your family. People have been doing it for years, according to restauranteur and The Hat president, Joe Conzonire.

“My father and my uncle grew up going there in the 50s and 60s.

They purchased the restaurant when

The Hat’s world famous pastrami sandwich, piled high with more than a mouthful of the succulent, peppery pastrami – a must-order when you go.

Driving through? The Hat, Murrieta, is the latest in the 11 store chain restaurant, owned by the Conzonire family of Southern California.

the corporate office’s eyes to the San Diego market. “We take a long time to decide on opening a restaurant in a specific area, but when we found this place, I knew it was the right move.”

With family close by, Murrieta was a logical place for The Hat’s expansion six months ago. A midweek lunchtime crowd has most of the tables filled, as the locals have adopted the restaurant into their lunchtime routine.

“Saturdays, we’re packed, both inside and at the drive-through line,” Joe said.

At the counter, a friendly staff greets you and offers menu item suggestions. While waiting for your meal, fill up your soda cup at the fountain. Here’s another chance for nostalgia to kick in, as visitors have the option to sip Bang! Whipped Drink in flavors of Orange, Pina Colada, or Lemon Ole! along with regular Coca Cola beverage choices.

Your meal is paper wrapped, brown bagged, or piled high atop cardboard

carriers, the same as The Hat did it in 1951.

Customers also share readily what their favorite, most ordered items are. One man stopped to chat after ordering his meal.

“I drive back and forth from Los Angeles a few times a week.

I always stop at The Hat when I’m passing through Pasadena and now, I come to this one. It’s easy to get to, and I always get something I like – that pastrami dip sandwich – I’ve ordered the same thing, for 25 years.”

Just recently, he tried the Roast Beef, served with Au Jus or gravy.

“Now I can’t decide what to order when I come here,” he said, with a laugh.

Conzonire loves to hear stories like that, but to him, it’s nothing new.

“Many of our regular customers have experienced The Hat restaurant at the varying locations across southern California,” he said. “I always love to hear what they like

it came up for sale in 1981,” he said.

The first building was set back from Garfield and Valley – whose pictures grace the walls in their 50s – was the iconic diner, where hot rods would cruise Valley Boulevard and kids would hang out on the weekends. Joe’s father and uncle – Corky and Joseph Conzonire – both ran the business for years before retiring, turning the keys over to Joe. “This is the kind of place where employees stay, long term,” Joe said.

“The restaurant is run by family, and we consider each of our employees to be part of the family, as well.”

The Murrieta store’s restaurant manager, David Montoya, has been with The Hat chain of restaurants for 21 years.

“This is our largest restaurant yet,” Joe said. The location, found after much searching, has opened

to order most of all and it’s usually the pastrami. In fact, I just had one earlier today.”

The thinly shaved, peppery and tender pastrami is a tough act to follow, once you’ve tried it. Served on a roll decked with mustard and dill pickle, each bite is more than a mouth-full. No sauce is needed for this flavorful sandwich.

“Our French fries, and chili fries, are another most ordered menu item,” Joe said. “You can’t go wrong with either one. Unless you order them, topped with pastrami.”

The chili cheese fries, served with “everything” are topped with chili, shredded cheddar, as well as mounds of pastrami, pickles and tomatoes. A flavorful delight with every bite. If plain fries are your thing, an order will usually yield you a sack full, at this restaurant where more is more.

Customers of The Hat are loyal to the core, and tend to reminisce about childhood, going to The Hat with their parents, after a game, or when they were away at school.

“Everything still tastes the same, no matter which restaurant you go to,” Joe said. Of his father and uncle, both are still involved in the chain’s long term planning. Both Corky and Joseph Conzonire were at the grand opening celebration in Murrieta six months ago.

“They are retired, but I couldn’t ask for more wonderful mentors,” Joe said. “It’s exciting for them to see their legacy of The Hat is still growing.”

Family makes Hong Kong artist Yan Wing Foon’s dream come true Tony Ault Writer Yan Wing Foon, celebrated Hong Kong artist and calligrapher, even though seriously ill in his native country, with the help of his family, saw his dream of bringing his art to America come true Saturday, March 5, in Sun City.

The artist’s American son Kevin Yan, uncle Dr. Frank Yang and aunt Debbie Yang picked up Yan’s single suitcase at the airport containing almost 75 pieces of his fine art, to bring it to the first American exhibition at the Sun City Civic Center. There more than 150 visitors admired Yan’s beautiful poster art, bordered by fine silk hung from the walls and decorating the tables in the civic center hall.

Yan, spent years perfecting the ancient Chinese art of calligraphy, couplet poetry and scenic inks all the while teaching art and Chinese history to his high school students in Hong Kong. Although having traveled in the United States before, according to his son, Yan dreamed of returning one day to America show his artwork and exchange some of China’s cultural heritage and traditions through art.

He was planning his trip when doctors diagnosed him with metastasized malignant astrocytoma.

Weakness followed and he was unable to travel, according to Frank and Debbie Tang.

Friends in Sun City heard about his dream and worked to reserve a room for his exhibition in the HOA Civic Center Hall. Because Yan’s

art is so unique the family was able to have a large part of it shipped, in a single suitcase, to America that passed through customs. The artwork shown at the hall can all be rolled up in small rolls and packed away.

“It’s pretty amazing,” said Dr. Tang, looking around at the walls and tables covered with Yan’s fine work, “it all fit into just one suitcase.” One piece was more than 20 feet long and could not be hung on the low walls for the exhibition. It was laid out on two tables for viewing.

Some of the drawings were centered between Chinese poems written by Yan and other Chinese poets. Called couplet poems, the sayings on each side of the artwork, provide different thoughts on the same subject. Chinese writing is read from right to left or from the bottom to the top, opposite of English and European writing.

More than having an opportunity to view Yan’s creations, guests were provided inks and calligraphy pens, and a video made by Yan showing the basics of creating an ink painting and calligraphy. The video can be seen on YouTube and his Facebook page. Visitors could be seen at the tables concentrating on their newly learned art. A few versed in Cantonese wrote their own couplets.

Dr. Yang, a Murrieta family doctor, proudly showed a pen and ink drawing a 92-year-old Sun City woman had made with a thank you note to Yan. “Isn’t it beautiful,”

Kevin Yan, the son of celebrated Hong Kong artist and calligrapher Yan Wing Foon, admires his father’s fine art hanging from the walls of the Sun City HOA Civic Center during an art exhibition March 5.

Tony Ault photo

Dr. Tang said. The drawing will be sent to Yan in Hong Kong.

Young Yan, from Los Angeles, said he was very proud of his father who helped him immigrant to America when he was 16 and wished he could be here to see the exhibition himself. He said he too is an occasional artist, but special-

izes in oil painting. “My dad taught me a lot in Hong Kong,” he said.

He helped organize the event for his father and received help from Sun City residents and friends Peter and Anna Wong, who are HOA members.

Although Yan’s artwork is sold elsewhere, the family said they

respected Yan’s request that none of his pieces on exhibit that day be sold, but rather kept in the family.

The exhibition was free and guests were treated to a delicious light lunch, desserts and beverages. “It was beautiful,” one guest said.

Friends of the Murrieta Library to hear author, winemaker

Audrey and Vince Cilurzo

TEMECULA – The Friends of the Murrieta Library will hear author and local winemaker, Audrey Cilurzo at their general meeting on Tuesday, March 15 at 10 a.m. in the Murrieta Library Community Room.

Courtesy photo

Audrey and her husband, Vince, knew nothing about wine making when they purchased their land in Temecula. They took classes at UC Davis and bought every book on wine they could get their hands on.

The Cilurzos grew grapes for 10

years, then opened Cilurzo Winery in 1978. They made several different wines including a Cabernet and a Late Harvest Petite Sirah.

One of their best sellers was a wine called Vincheno, a Petite Sirah/Chenin Blanc blend named after their son, Vinnie and daughter Chenin. When asked how they want to be remembered, “It’s by the success that their children have attained.”

These days Audrey is involved with the Riverside International Wine Competition which will be held in Temecula for the first time this year at the South Coast Winery.

“All we wanted to do was to make good wine and get people coming here,” she said.

The Friends invite you to come and meet the Cilurzos, visit with new friends and neighbors and enjoy the lovely refreshments provided. The public and guests are invited.

Not only do the Friends of the

Murrieta Library provide support to the Murrieta Public Library through fund-raising, advocacy and volunteerism, they promote awareness of and support for the Library as it serves the informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs of our Community. Their monthly meetings serve as a lowkey cultural event for our local resi-

dents, providing the opportunity to meet, first hand, with established and published authors, musicians and other interesting neighbors.

The Library is located at 8 Town Square, on Adams between Juniper and Kalmia. For further information, please call Rita Nastri (951) 698-8640. Or visit the website www.murrietalibraryfriends.org

Temecula Valley Museum to celebrate annual Smithsonian Day Live presentation TEMECULA – The Smithsonian Institution will host its 12th annual “Museum Day Live!” Saturday, March 12 at the Temecula Valley Museum in Old Town Temecula.

This nationwide event encourages parks, libraries, and museums across the country to offer free admission including the Old Town Temecula Valley Museum at 28314 Mercedes St. Patrons who present a Smithsonian Institution “Museum Day Live!” ticket. This year, as part of Women’s History Month, the Smithsonian has launched a campaign designed to reach out to women and girls in underserved communities.

This special edition of Smithsonian’s signature “Museum Day Live!” event encourages all people, in particular women and girls of color, to visit the local museum and

In honor of Black History Month and Woman’s History Month, the Temecula Valley Museum is featuring “Quilted Pages,” by quilt artist Allyson Allen in the rotunda gallery through April 3. Allen’s colorful quilts reflect African folklore, social issues and African-American history from “Emancipation to Inauguration.”

On Saturday, March 12, the Museum will forgo the regular suggested $5 per person entry donation to anyone who presents a printed copy of the Smithsonian Institution’s “Museum Day Live!” ticket.

Tickets are available online through the Smithsonian Institu-

tion’s website.

Hundreds gather to honor 40 Under Forty award winners Paul Bandong Staff Writer The Murrieta Chamber of Commerce recognized the Valley’s 2016 winners of the 40 Under Forty at an awards celebration held Feb. 25, at Pins ‘N Pockets in Lake Elsinore.

Mary O. Andrews, Olympian and business and life coach, was the keynote speaker at the event.

“This is the fourth year of the awards that recognize younger individuals doing great things in the Valley,” said Murrieta Chamber CEO Patrick Ellis, “those who may be overlooked because of experience and longevity, but who are making significant contributions in business and in the community.

This award encourages others to be involved and recognizes them when they do great things.”

Ellis noted that there are similar awards across the country, including notable listings like Fortune’s 40 Under 40 recognizing business movers and shakers; however, he credits his experience with the event in Ventura County as being the inspiration for bringing it to the Temecula Valley.

Nominations are solicited from the public. Nominees are then invited to fill out an application that is reviewed by a panel of judges made up of out-of-the-area Chamber executives. The panel then makes the final selections. This year’s award winners have impacted local communities through specific accomplishments and thousands of hours of community service.

Over 200 people attended this year ’s celebration, including Communications Director John Hunneman and District Representative Debbie Herrera representing Senator Jeff Stone, Lake Elsinore Mayor Brian Tisdale, Lake Elsinore Chamber CEO Kim Cousins, Murrieta City Councilman Jonathan Ingram and many others.

This year’s award winners include 11 repeat winners, two threepeat winners and one who has been recognized all four years. Repeat winners are Adam Ruiz, Emily Pulido, Jennifer Rasmussen, Jennifer Sevilla, Justin Lawler, Lisa Wayman, Michael Klein, Nicole Albrecht, Raj Narayanan, Rebaux Steyn and Tracy Bouvet. Oscar Babb and Luke Pytlik received the award for the third year in a row.

Tara Wunderlich has received the award every year.

Wunderlich, who owns Executive Hair Salon, attributes the recognition to “an incredible support system of family and friends

always encouraging me to follow my dreams and be true to myself . . . a strong work ethic and give back whenever you can.” Her advice to others is to “do what it takes to be who you want. Do not give up when the going gets tough, because it will. Those are the moments you remember first when you achieve the goals you’ve worked so hard and long for.”

Three-time winner Babb, who owns and operates Broken Yolk restaurants in Temecula and La Quinta, credits his staff and his team. “We have focused on being a family business and making sure that our community knows we will support them back as they support us.” Babb’s team has been recognized for their support of youth teams, charities and nonprofits, religious groups and the chambers of commerce. “We support local vendors – pest control, insurance, flowers, etc. – because we want to keep all our resources here in the community.”

This year’s first-time winners include Alexandra Garrison, Anthony Rodebush, Bonnie Woodrome, Brittany-Rose Tribulski, Candice Reel, Daniel Estrada, David Mendenhall, Dr. Katie Dugan, Greg Ashcraft, Heather Penko, Jennifer D. Sinclair, Jeremy Goldman, Jesse Green, Julie Atallah, Kasey Rawitzer, Laura Van Dam, Lauren Ritchie, Marcel Atallah, Marcella Torres, Mario Herrera, Melissa Houtz, Nicole Dailey, Nicole Farnum, Rachel McGuire, Midori Ramsey, Ryan Clauson and Samantha Brodine.

“I really live by ‘If you are kind, work hard and have fun, amazing things will happen,’” said twotime winner Jennifer Sevilla, vice president and business manager for Commerce Bank, “Understanding my personal values and identifying my weaknesses are vital to my road to success. I surround myself with the people who hold the same values and most importantly, surround myself with the people whose strengths are my weakness.

‘It takes a village’ and we can each do anything we dream of.”

“I feel honored to be included in such an outstanding group of young professionals, “ said first-time winner Dr. Katie Dugan, OD, who practices vision therapy and pediatric optometry at Temecula Creek Optometry. “We all strive to give the best of ourselves in all areas of our life – at work, at home and in our communities – and it feels great to know that we are making a difference.”

The 2016 40 Under Forty winners were named at a celebration held Feb. 25, at Pins ‘N Pockets in Lake Elsinore.

Why now is the perfect time to sell your home

John Occhi and Mike Mason Special to Valley News Anyone who has a Temecula/ Murrieta house they want to sell this year has been waiting for that ‘perfect time’ to put their home on the market and sell. Well, that moment has arrived and let me explain why right now is the perfect time to sell!

Buyer motivation Spring has traditionally been the busiest time for real estate sales, across the country. Of course, there are always excep-

tions to this rule – primarily in resort areas. For example, the Palm Springs area (Coachella Valley) market always heats up in the fall as the snowbirds begin their migration from northern destinations that will soon be covered in a blanket of snow.

Temecula and Murrieta typically start to see more real estate action when schools take their spring break which typically coincides with the Easter holiday.

Folks come to the area to visit with friends and family during the holiday period and start to mull over the possibility of living in a community as beautiful and affordable as ours.

Being a family oriented community, most who want to move to the Temecula-Murrieta Valley want to make the move after school gets out for the summer and long before it starts up again

in the fall; making May the perfect month to purchase a new home, open escrow and get ready settled and acclimated to their new surroundings, giving the children an opportunity to make new friends and feel at home before heading off to their new schools in September.

The market moves now Traditionally (again there are always going to be exceptions) 60 percent of all home sales take place between May and August each year. The savvy seller who puts their home on the market in May is poised maximize their exposure in the marketplace. As spring turns to summer, more and more homes will enter the market, competing with buyer’s attention. List your home now, and you stand the best chance of more showings with more qualified buyers who are more likely to bring you a full market offer.

The last thing you want is for buyers to shelve their 2015 plans to relocate to Temecula, as they ready for back to school and the holiday season activities.

Mortgage rates Many predictions from last year would have us at a 5 percent interest rate by now with expectations that they will be at 6 percent or higher by the end of the year. As of the time this article is being prepared, 30 year fixed rates are being advertised at less than 4 percent and a 5 year fixed adjustable mortgage can be had for under 3 percent with the right credit and down payment.

However, anyone considering purchasing a home knows that these rates can change overnight.

Buyers today are poised and ready to hit the streets with approved financing in hand – wanting to buy a home before they shoot up and find themselves left behind.

Pricing is everything In 2013 we saw a spike in the local real estate market jumpstarting the local economy with close to a 25 percent increase in real estate values. Multiple offers, over list price were the norm then. While many homeowners today have fallen into the trap of believing that the trend should repeat itself, there just has not been anything other than overly ambitious agents and hungry sellers fueling this dream. The truth is, a huge percentage of homes that are selling are selling for significantly less than their initial list price. The longer a home sits

on the market, overpriced, the less likely that they will receive a fair market offer. Buyers will feel a seller’s desperation to sell and come in with low-ball offers justifying their action with the belief that there must be something wrong with the home, otherwise it would have already have sold.

When pricing a home today, forget about what you think its worth. Don’t spend time looking on Zillow, Trulia or any of the other countless websites that offer an automated opinion of value. Rather work with a trusted real estate agent and carefully analyze the last 60 days of sold properties similar to yours and close to yours.

At another time, I would suggest also looking at the active listings in the MLS; however today, many are so overpriced that it just skews the numbers. Remember, the value is what someone is willing to pay for it – it has nothing to do with your plans, dreams or expectations.

snag a home now before they get shutout of the market. My own predictions for the housing market over the next several years will see a modest 5 to 6 percent increase in value. This is a traditional market and if you were to look at the long-term value of real estate, you’ll discover that this is very typical – it’s just that we went through some crazy times in both directions over the last 10 to 15 years.

A 5 percent difference in price a year from now won’t make a big difference to buyers – so they are not in the same rush they were in a year ago.

Technology is more important than ever Every year society as a whole experiences great leaps in technology and for the average consumer, I don’t think it is any more prevalent that in the world of real estate.

In the past technology for real estate agents focused on their websites and MLS searches. It was important to syndicate their listings so that individual homes could be found.

Today it’s all about mobile devices – smart phones and tablets.

Make certain that your agent has the necessary tools and technologies available to make your house jump out of a 2-inch smartphone screen. Mediocre photos, more than ever, will cripple your chance of achieving your 2014 real estate goals.

Real Estate / Home & Garden Easy steps toward planting your spring kitchen garden Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer When it comes to spring planting in Southern California, remember your kitchen. Why go to the farmer’s market when you can create one in your own backyard?

It doesn’t take a large section of earth to create your own kitchen garden. The trick comes with determining just what to plant and where to plant it and getting the most out of your spring gardening investment.

Whether or not you have a “green thumb,” gardening at home can be a treat for the senses. Spring planted vegetables and herbs— when planted in rich soil, fertilized properly and tended regularly— can make your backyard or patio garden a lush, green and thriving environment for months to come.

The first trick is to decide how much area you can dedicate as your growing space.

First, finding the perfect location. Observe your garden plot during the morning and afternoon, judge how much shade the area gets at different times of the day.

Does the sunshine last all day long?

Does that section of earth only receive indirect sunlight? Take that information with you when you go to select your plants. The tags will indicate the best type of sunlight where tomatoes, lettuce, onions or corn will thrive. Choosing the proper type of plant for the location you are providing is half the battle won for greening your garden area.

Zucchini are the most versatile vegetable that you can grow. This bright yellow flower will turn into large veggies that can be used for everything from a main course, side dish, to dessert.

A spring garden is only as good as the plot where you plant it. Select a perfect part of your yard by identifying the best part sun, part shade area that will receive at least four hours of sunlight.

plants you choose will help you achieve gardening success. Remember what you learned during the observation of your gardening space. Where you plant those taller plants may affect how much sunlight the smaller plants receive.

When you make your selections, group according to size, height and spacing.

Are you a salad lover with a shady garden space? Consider salad greens, spinach, peas, kale, onions, corn, as well as herbs like dill, garlic, cilantro, mint, tarragon, chives, celery and parsley. Remember to keep to the planting instructions with the spacing around your garden plants. This will aid in disease prevention, as well as keep plants from developing disease.

Amend your soil Second, make sure that you amend your garden soil before you bring the plants home. Unless you make your space ready, your baby plants will struggle to reach their full potential. For the best chances of plant survival, purchase a garden soil amendment, such as Miracle Grow. Choose a soil that retains moisture if you live in a dry climate and make sure your garden space has excellent drainage to keep young roots from getting waterlogged. At least 3 cubic feet of soil mixed into last year’s earth is a good start, for a smaller or raised garden. Use a hand rake, shovel, or trowel to churn and combine the soil. While a great pair of gloves can be both fashionable and fun, don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty in the process.

Third, plant in descending order, from tallest to smallest. Placement of your plants, and the types of

Look for a sunny space Do you have a sunny garden space? Ideally, six hours of sun is what you are looking for in your garden area. Tomatoes in all different shapes and sizes will do well in full sun, as will peppers, cucumbers, basil, chives, rosemary, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, watermelon and carrots.

Consider planting a “salsa garden” with tomatoes, red onion, cilantro and garlic.

Whatever you choose, our sunny climates dictates mulch or ground cover to give the plants the best chance for survival. Strawberries make exceptional bedding plants

that grow well in both sun and part sun, as well as nestled into containers. No matter what you decide to plant, make sure you are growing veggies that you actually harvest and eat or share with the neighbors.

One of the most bountiful growing, giving and easy to grow vegetables is the zucchini. This veggie can be used in a variety of ways, from eating raw, sliced into spears with dip, or in a raw vegetable salad. Cook zucchini, diced in a pot with a jar of salsa for a salty side dish, or shred it and made into sweet breads and muffins.

The leaves of this versatile vegetable are broad, creating massive amounts of shade. Zucchini is ideally paired with crook-necked or yellow squash, climbing cucumbers, red onions, tomatoes and cilantro. When you organize your garden, make sure to make use of vertical space as well as the growing area along the ground.

Cucumbers can be trained to grow up along lattice or garden wall pallets. Consider growing cherry or grape tomatoes, spaced with cages, for a fast-ripening solution with smaller fruit, or the larger heirloom tomatoes that grow and ripen in a variety of shades and rich flavors.

Herbs add texture and many are low growing, or make excellent edge of garden accents.

up with dirt and debris. This can result in greater stress on the unit, causing it to work harder. Giving it a thorough cleaning is easy and can help maximize your AC unit’s service life while minimizing your energy bill.

Plant trees Direct sunlight can heat up surfaces and building materials, as well as the interior temperature of your home. Consider planting trees in strategic locations to provide shade and reduce cooling costs.

Caulk around windows and doors Stop air leaks around your home by sealing existing gaps and cracks.

Use caulking or weather stripping around doors and windows.

Installing a door sweep is also a good idea.

Installing additional insulation can save homeowners money in the long run.

Insulate your home Use insulation with a high Rvalue, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, which can be used to top up insulation in your attic. Aim for an Rvalue of 50 or a depth of 16 inches.

For whole home efficiency, ensure other areas of your home, such as crawl spaces, basement headers, walls and ceilings, are well insu-

lated. It will keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress off your air conditioning unit.

Install a rain barrel Water is an important, but costly resource. Installing a rain barrel is an easy and affordable measure to reduce your water consumption, while keeping your lawn and garden looking great.

These simple home maintenance tasks can be well worth the effort, potentially providing hundreds of dollars in annual savings.

prolong the life of the plant by denying blossoms, and when you do let flowers bloom, harvest the seeds for next year’s planting adventures.

If you have a large amount of space to fill, consider planting nasturtium seeds. Within a few weeks, the seeds will sprout into vines covered in half dollar sized leaves, with either yellow or orange blossoms, mounding into a glorious hedge.

These bright and sunny flowers are both beautiful when plucked and grouped in bud vases and edible.

Whatever you decide, it’s time to visit your local home garden centers and select from the bounteous herbs, vegetables and flowering fruit trees for your kitchen garden.

The food drive, organized by the Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS® Affiliate Committee, tripled the 2,000 cans donated last year.

“Hunger is an issue in our community 365 days a year,” said SRCAR Affiliate Chairwoman Shelley Moore of Escrow Leaders, “not just at the holidays and after the holidays. Many of the food pantries are bare and in dire need of food.”

Temecula Valley Toyota Scion presenting sponsor of the Temecula Valley Fair 2016

Temecula Valley Toyota Scion dealership at 26631 Ynez Road, Temecula celebrated its grand opening last month and since coming to Temecula is one of the fastest growing Toyota dealers in the U.S. Ron Mein photography

Tony Ault Valley News writer Temecula Valley Toyota Scion president and owner Tom Rudnai said he was pleased with the success of the first Temecula Valley Fair in 2015 and that, coupled with his desire to give back to the local community is why he decided to act as presenting sponsor of this year’s fair which will be held at Galway Downs.

The change of location from Lake Skinner to Galway Downs in 2016 is expected to bring even more people to the family oriented special event. The 2016 Temecula Valley Fair has added a fourth day to this year’s event because of the large crowds that showed up at the three-day fair at Lake Skinner last year. Even more exciting stage shows, family events, including the Peruvian Paso Horse Show, pony rides and trail rides have been included in the new Temecula Valley Fair’s expanded venue.

Rudnai said he and his dealership want give back to the Temecula Valley community that has supported his car dealership that opened only two years ago. Since then the dealership has become one of the fastest growing Toyota dealerships in Southern California.

They have outgrown their location already and are looking to expand in the Valley. The dealership is ranked in the top 15 in the Customer Satisfaction Index with their Yelp rating going from 2.0 stars to 4.5 stars. Their Google ranking also went up to 43 stars.

Rundai attributes the growth to the Valley residents who have responded to his staff’s focus and involvement in the community that includes supporting 30 local charities in the Valley including the Boys and Girls Club, Oak Grove Center, Student of the Month, Little League teams and providing internships for students at the local high schools. Many of his staff members with children are equally

involved in the community.

“Kids are very important to us,” said Rudnai. “We focus on our children.” The Temecula Valley Fair provides Temecula Valley Toyota Scion an opportunity to show how much they care. “We really wanted to sponsor it again this year. “We are not here at the fair to sell cars,” Rudnai said. “We want to help our community. We want to continue to be a big part of the community, grow with community and be involved with the community.

He said he and his staff at the new Temecula Valley Toyota Scion want customers to know, “New ownership. New attitude. Come experience the difference!”

Temecula Valley Toyota Scion is located at 26631 Ynez Road, Temecula, CA 92591. Information is available at www.tvtoyota.com, or by calling (951) 694-0575. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays.

The Vintage Marketplace moves to new Galway Downs location TEMECULA – The Vintage Marketplace announced they have moved to a new location at 38801 Los Corralitos Road at Galway Downs after outgrowing their old location in Oaks Park.

The Village Marketplace managers in a new release said, “We have outgrown the Oaks park after five wonderful years, but you will not be disappointed with our new location, ‘Galway Downs.’ It has 240 acres of rolling hills, beautiful grassy areas, ponds, barns and an equestrian center so unique is the variety of vendors/artists that bring their very best items to our show and creatively display them in their booths.

“Our Vendors give you examples in their booths of how you can incorporate ideas on decorating with vintage furniture and accessories whether it’s for your own home and garden, or if you are planning

a wedding, a shower , a party or a photo opportunity. We are the place to come for unique vintage props, furniture and accessories in every vintage style!”

The Vintage Marketplace has things like vintage windows and doors as well as architectural pieces being used as dividers to create entries and different rooms inside our vendor’s spaces. They also stack and layer their creative vignettes with inspiration. The customers help withal lots of visual idea, the release said.

The Vintage Marketplace at Galway Downs offers unlimited parking, easy access to the marketplace, food trucks, a shady resting and eating area and a view of the rolling hills of the Temecula Valley Wine Country. Another advantage is that Galway Downs is located 7 miles from renowned Old Town Temecula.

County’s jobless rate little changed RIVERSIDE – The unemployment rate in Riverside County began 2016 about where it ended 2015, state figures released last week show.

The jobless rate in January, based on preliminary estimates, was 5.9 percent, compared to 6 percent in December, according to the California Employment Development Department.

The data are subject to revision and often fluctuates one- to twofifths of a percentage point by the time it›s finalized.

January’s rate was 1.5 percentage points lower than a year ago, when unemployment stood at 7.4 percent, EDD figures showed.

According to the agency, the countywide civilian labor force numbered 1,041,400, with 61,800 people out of work in January.

The unincorporated community of Mecca had the highest unemployment rate countywide at 15.5 percent, followed by both Cabazon and the March Air Reserve Base census-designated community, each of which reported an unemployment rate of 11.9 percent, trailed most closely by Lakeview, which had a rate of 10 percent.

The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in January

was 5.8 percent, down from 5.9 percent the prior month.

Bi-county data indicated payrolls expanded in only two sectors of the regional economy – financial services and manufacturing, which together added 400 jobs.

The information technology and mining sectors were unchanged.

According to the state, all other sectors posted losses totaling 21,700 positions. The retail trade sector accounted for the largest decline, shedding 15,800 jobs as merchants downsized following the holiday shopping season.

According to the EDD, the state’s non-seasonally-adjusted jobless rate in January was 5.8 percent.

The event is outdoors, and customers currently are urged to dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes.

It is noted that not all vendors take checks or credit cards so it is good to bring cash. The Vintage Marketplace is open Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $5. Children under 15years-old are free. They will be open March 11-12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visit Galway Downs website www.galwaydowns.com. Information is also available on Facebook, “The Vintage Marketplace,” or Instagram, “thevintagemarketplace.”

The Vintage Marketplace blog www.thevintagemarketplaceat galwaydowns.com calendar shows it will also be open June 3-4, Sept.

9-10 and Dec. 2-3.

hospitals, all located in medically underserved areas.

These hospitals serve a patient population with a very high percentage of Hispanic and Spanishonly-speaking individuals. The 10 students will be expected to complete the ADN program and qualify to take the NCLEX exam.

Based on historical data, after graduation as many as 90 percent of them will secure employment in the local communities.

“The Song-Brown grants will allow the program to enroll an additional 10 minority nurses over the grant period and create a Virtual Clinical Simulation program,” said Sandy Baker, dean of nursing.

“The Virtual Clinical Simulation program will ensure RCC student nurse exposure to clinical situations.

Two designated faculty will prepare to become certified Healthcare

Simulation Educators, who will train other faculty; develop and implement simulation scenarios with nursing students; and participate in inter-professional collaborative experiences with other members of the health care team.”

A 2014 landmark study conducted by the National Council of State Boards of Nursing validated the use of simulation in pre-licensure nursing curriculum as an effective substitution for up to 50 percent of traditional clinical experiences, producing comparable end-ofprogram educational outcomes.

RCC’s School of Nursing is one of only 27 nationally accredited associate degree in nursing programs in California, and has demonstrated great success in attracting and admitting members of minority groups into its RN program.

RCC School of Nursing secures two grants RIVERSIDE – Riverside City College’s School of Nursing has received Song-Brown two grants totaling $325,000 For the second consecutive year, RCC received $200,000 from the RN Capitation Award and $125,000 from the RN Special Program Award. The $200,000 RN Capitation Award was the second-largest award presented to a college in the state.

Meanwhile the college was one of

six schools to receive $125,000, the largest amount awarded, from the RN Special Program Award for a Virtual Clinical Simulation program.

The Song-Brown Health Care Workforce Training Act was established in 1973 and encourages universities and primary care health professionals to provide health care in medically underserved areas, and provides financial support to registered nurse education programs

throughout California.

The $200,000 award will help RCC’s School of Nursing address the RN shortage in Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and L.A. counties and fund a full-time faculty position. The award will also allow the program to admit an additional 10 students into the nursing program in the fall. Students admitted into Nursing 11 will have their clinical rotation at one of RCC’s partner

Online marketing works better than television.

A recent report from Rutgers Business School highlighted eleven studies proving the ROI of digital marketing. Among them was a study on Cadbury chocolate that provided online ROI almost 4X higher than their TV campaign; their 7% budget allocation generated 20% of their sales.

Nielsen Ad Dynamics reported that companies in fast moving consumer goods allocated 60% of their media buys to television even though only 18% of traditional TV campaigns generate a positive ROI (source: Socialnomics).

Two Menifee residents die following crash into light poles PERRIS – An 80-year-old man and a 76-year-old woman were killed when their van veered off Interstate 215, rolled and smacked rolled into two steel light poles, California Highway Patrol officers said Saturday, March 5.

The crash occurred at about 5:05 p.m. Saturday on the southbound 215 Freeway, just south of Redlands Boulevard, said CHP Officer Kristi Kroah.

Philip Galvez and Nieves Nesu Martin-Galvez, both from Menifee,

were in a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country van, driving about 60 mph in the fast lane, when the van began moving toward the right lanes of the freeway. The van then went off the right shoulder “for an unknown reason” and struck a steel light pole,

Kroah said.

Following that first impact, the van rolled over into a second light pole, eventually stopping as it came to rest against a chain link fence. Firefighters pronounced both the man and woman dead at the scene at 5:23 p.m.

The human cardiovascular system is nothing short of fascinating Fascinating facts about the human cardiovascular system The human heart and the miles of blood vessels that snake through the body are a wonder to behold. Made up of three independent components, the cardiovascular system functions best when these three components, which include the heart, lungs and portal vessels, work cohesively.

Each day 2,000 gallons of blood travel through the blood vessels to provide oxygenated blood to the body and remove waste materials, including carbon dioxide. That’s a lot of traveling. In fact, according to LiveScience, if you were to lay out all of the arteries, capillaries and veins in one adult from end-to-end,

they would stretch roughly 60,000 miles, which means that our blood vessels could wrap around the Earth 2.5 times.

The human cardiovascular system is nothing short of fascinating, and the following are some even more remarkable facts about this wonder of nature, courtesy of Mercola, PBS, CPR Certified medical training group, and LiveScience.

The heart beats around 2.5 billion times in the average person’s lifetime.

Red blood cells have to move in a single-file line to fit through the minuscule capillaries in the body.

When the body is at rest, it takes about six seconds for the blood to

go from the heart to the lungs and back.

A woman’s heart typically beats faster than a man’s heart, at a rate of 78 times per minute (mens’ hearts beat 70 times per minute).

The corneas in a person’s eyes are the only bodily cells that do not receive a blood supply.

The thumping sound of the heart is made by the four valves of the heart closing.

If a heart has an adequate supply of oxygen, it can beat even when

separated from the body, thanks to its own electrical impulse.

Ancient Egyptians believed the heart, rather than the brain, was the source of emotion, wisdom and memory.

Unlike other cells, red blood cells do not contain nuclei so they have room to carry oxygen. However, this absence is why they cannot divide or synthesize new cell components.

Healthy bone marrow will constantly manufacture new red blood cells.

Within a tiny droplet of blood, there are about 5 million red blood cells.

The right ventricle is responsible for moving blood to the lungs, where it will receive fresh oxygen and nutrients. The left atrium and left ventricle receive this oxygenated blood back from the lungs.

The heart begins beating four weeks after conception.

The cardiovascular system is an amazing component of the human body.

The best and worst foods for heart health The following are some foods to promote heart health and some foods you might want to avoid.

No one wants to hear from their doctors that they have joined the millions of people across the globe to be diagnosed with heart disease. The Heart Foundation reports that heart disease, which includes diseases of the heart and cardiovascular system and stroke, is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, affecting both men and women and most racial/ ethnic groups. Heart disease also is one of the leading causes of death in Canada, claiming more than 33,000 lives per year.

Many factors contribute to the development of heart disease, including smoking, lack of exercise and stress. Diet and whether a person is overweight or obese also can have a direct link to heart health. Diet, particularly for those with diabetes and poorly controlled blood sugar levels, is a major concern. A variety of foods are considered helpful for maintaining a strong and healthy heart and cardiovascular system, while others can contribute to conditions that may eventually lead to cardiovascular disease or cardiac arrest.

Moderation enables a person to sample a little of everything, but not to make any one food a habit.

Good Tree nuts: Tree nuts contain unsaturated fats that can help lower LDL cholesterol (the bad stuff) and improve HDL (the good stuff). Nuts also are a filling source of protein and other healthy nutrients.

Whole grains: Whole grains contain complex carbohydrates for energy, as well as protein and fiber. Fiber can help scrub cholesterol from the blood, lowering bad cholesterol levels.

Fatty fish: Many cold-water, fatty fish, such as halibut, herring and salmon, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are heart-healthy.

Omega-3s also can be found in walnuts, flaxseed and some soy products.

Beans: Beans and other legumes are an excellent source of protein and can be a stand-in for meats that are high in saturated fat. Beans also contain cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber and folate, which can reduce blood homocystein levels. The Bean Institute reports that consuming beans may reduce cholesterol lev-

els by roughly six to 10 percent.

Yogurt: Researchers in Japan found yogurt may protect against gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease may elevate a person’s risk for heart disease. Yogurt contains good bacteria that can counteract bad bacteria and boost immunity.

Raisins: Raisins contain antioxidants that may help reduce inflammation. Inflammation is often linked to heart disease and other debilitating conditions.

Fresh produce also is a good source of antioxidants.

Poor Fried foods: Many fried foods have little nutritional value, as they tend to be high in saturated and trans fats. French fries are particularly bad because they are carbohydrates fried and then doused in salt.

Sausage: Processed meats have frequently earned a bad reputation among cardiologists, but sausage can be a big offender, due in large part to its high saturated fat content.

Red meats: Enjoying a steak is probably not as bad as eating a deep-fried brownie, but it’s best to limit red meat consumption to

shaker in the spice cabinet and opt for herbs for flavoring, advises the American Heart Association.

High-sodium diets often are to blame for hypertension, a major risk factor for heart disease.

Dairy: Artery-clogging saturated fat also can be found in dairy products, particularly the full-fat versions. Butter, sour cream and milk can be problematic when people overindulge. Opt for lowfat dairy when possible.

about 10 percent or less of your diet. Red meats can have a considerable amount of cholesterol, saturated fat and calories.

Added sugars: Sugar can increase blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Sugar often hides out in foods that you would not associate with the sweetener.

Plus, many people unwittingly consume too much sugar simply through sugar-sweetened beverages and ready-to-eat cereals.

Salty foods: Leave the salt

HS Boys Basketball: Rancho Christian Eagles win first ever CIF basketball championship for Temecula area

Rancho Christian Eagles, Division 5A CIF-SS Champions. David Canales photo

JP Raineri Sports Editor The Rancho Christian boys’ basketball team (20-10) had something to prove in their Division 5A CIF-Southern Section title game against St. Bernard (Playa Del Ray) Saturday, March 5, at Godinez High School (Santa Ana). Last year the Eagles were in the same position against the same team, but lost 60-56 to the Vikings, who also got the best of Rancho Christian earlier this season, 75-69.

Despite trailing for most of the first half, proving something is exactly what the Eagles did, thanks to a dominating fourth-quarter 22-5 scoring run that kept the top

seeded Vikings team, which was heating up, at bay.

Rancho Christian’s championship is the first CIF title for any high school basketball team from Temecula area and comes from a school that’s played varsity sports for just four years. The win also secures the Eagles place in history as they are the first sports program from the school to bring home a championship of this nature.

“When we were down, we knew rebounding and being successful on every possession was key. We talked about being back in this game all year, along with getting over the hurdles, and never backing down. It’s a blessing and the glory goes to God,” freshman forward Isaiah Mobley said.

The 6-foot, 9-inch Mobley, dominated for the Eagles in the fourth quarter, finishing with 19 points and 16 rebounds when all was said and done.

Alongside the freshman standout was the game’s scoring leader, senior Jamal Brower, who pushed the lead to 10 points when he hit a 3-pointer with 1:58 left on the clock, sending Eagles fans out of their seats. Rancho Christian held the Vikings to a 2-of-16 shooting performance in the fourth quarter where it would also be the Eagles success with their late free throws which would help clinch the victory.

Brower finished with 18 points and helping lift the Eagles to victory was senior guard Trace

Redfield, who had 15 points and freshman forward Solomon Davis, who scored 13.

“The St. Bernard players have very quick guards and are well coached,” said Rancho Christian head coach, Ray Barefield. “They were battle-tested that’s for sure.

I’m very proud of our boys by overcoming that adversity like they did and if there’s anything we can really be proud of, it’s doing something for the community of Temecula.”

The Eagles season is not over as they received the No. 3 seed in the State tournament and were home when they played the San Diego Division 5 champions, O’Farrell High School on March 9.

which is to control the tempo and outhustled their opponents.

Their season was almost flawless. Their post season, also, was almost flawless. In fact, the Golden Bears, who won the Southwestern League title this season, had trucked along the CIF Southern Section Division 1A playoffs and were only a quarter away at the Honda Center in Los Angeles from finishing off their most successful season ever with a championship, when things went south.

Senior Scott Hollingsworth helped put the Golden Bears ahead 35-24 by halftime with his 12 first half points, but the Santa Monica Vikings did what they have done so well all season,

DeWayne Holmes led the Golden Bears with 15 points while Riley Schaefer and Scott Hollingsworth each scored 12.

Nasir Ahmedand and Bryce Denham were held to just 6 points each as Kevin Sullivan scored 3 and Rob Phillips had one lone bucket for 2 points.

“Being so close and not being able to pull out the win was heartbreaking,” said Temecula Valley Coach Kyle Armstrong.

“We fought hard and came up short, but we are very thankful for all the support we received from our student body, administration and what seemed like all of the Temecula Valley. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Temecula Valley was scheduled to head to Woodland Hills to battle top seed, Taft High School Wednesday, March 9. Taft was eliminated in the semifinal round of the Open Consolation Playoffs.

Dean Fioresi Sportswriter Late last month, the Temecula Valley Hawks Soccer Club Girls U-13 Academy team took home the Cal South State Cup in the Presidents’ Division. The team, made up of 16 girls ages 13 and under, dominated their opposition securing the championship with ease.

Led by head coach Carlos Basso, the Hawks played three bracket games on their way to the win, outscoring their opponents 10-1, securing a spot in the knockout round. Once there, they continued their winning streak, defeating four other teams and earning a spot in the Finals.

Much like the rest of the tournament, the Hawks got off to a hot start in the Finals and never looked back, outscoring their opponents, LA Galaxy, Bakersfield, 3-0 and claiming the Cal South State Cup.

With the win, the girls also earned a spot in the Cal South US Youth Soccer Region IV Presidents Cup Division Tournament, which will be held from June 14-19 in Arvada, Colorado.

As the team continues to train to

represent the Hawks and Cal South, they will also work on fundraisers to raise money to compete. If you would like to donate to the team or assist in a fundraiser, you can contact Kelley Collins at kllycol@ roadrunner.com.

HS Baseball: Preseason games at a glance JP Raineri Sports Editor For most of the local high school baseball programs it seems that the preseason starts almost immediately after the regular season nowadays, but it’s when the games and the win/loss records get added to your season record do the gloves really start to come off.

In the coming weeks leading up to league games, the Valley News Sports Department will put out preseason previews for all the spring sports, but for now, here is a look at some of the local baseball games that have taken place over the past week.

The Murrieta Valley Nighthawks opened the Pirate Falcon Classic tournament beating El Camino high school 1-0 in extra innings. Senior Brent McDonald and Junior Bradley Kay combined for a “No Hitter” while Bryce Short had a Double in the eighth in which he came home on a throwing error to score the only run of the game.

Linfield Christian got on top of Norte Vista of Riverside early in their opening game of the Citrus Hill Tournament, scoring their12 runs in the first four innings, wining 12-2. Senior Bentley Acee led the Lions with 3 hits in 4 at bats, picking up 4 RBI’s along the way.

Fellow senior, Tim Lee, picked up the win for Linfield, throwing 2.2 innings, giving up only one earned run with five strikeouts.

The Wolfpack’s Zack Noll broke the Great Oak career strikeout record while beating Carlsbad 4-0 Friday, March 4, in their Pirate Falcon tournament game. Noll was just one pitch away from throwing

a Perfect Game in the 1-hit shutout victory. The Wolfpack lefty sat down 9 batters over 7 innings, earning his first victory of the season. Zack set a new school record of 109 strikeouts, breaking the record on his last strikeout to end the game. Former Wolfpack great, Brad Wegman, who graduated in 2014 and currently pitches at USC held the record. Great Oak put runs across the board by hits from senior Ryan Swarthout and juniors Carson Seymour and Worth Planer.

Murrieta Mesa opened up their preseason with a pitchers dual against Roosevelt of Eastvale. Seniors Zac Filos, Nate Stillinovich and Kevin Palm all combined to throw a shutout against the Mustangs. The game was knotted at zero when senior shortstop Brad Prebay knocked a line drive double down the left field line, setting up the Rams for success with just one out. Junior Kiel Palm would win

the game on a walk off line drive to the left center gap, scoring Prebay, sending the Rams fans into frenzy.

The Rams also took on Fallbrook over this past weekend on the road and left the Warriors a bit unraveled after winning 14-2.

Temecula Valley has started their season off a bit rocky under new head coach Daniel Franklin, dropping their first two games, 9-5 to Covina and had a 4-4 tie against Alta Loma in their second game of the So Cal Baseball Academy Tournament.

Vista Murrieta has had some success thus far winning their first three games of the preseason, taking a double header away from Palm Desert and opened up with a win against El Modena in the first game of the Loera Tournament, 7-5.

The Broncos did drop game 2 of the tournament to Servite, 9-1, but will try to bounce back this week against Woodrow Wilson.

Chaparral, who is also break-ing in a new head coach in Brian Brown (former JV coach at TV), lost their first game of the season to Scripps Ranch, 9-0, in the opening round of the Pirate Falcon tournament.

They will face Mission Vista and Vista this week as tournament play continues.
