Animal Friends of the Valleys held its 12th annual “Wines for Canines & Kitties” March 5, at the Wiens Family Cellars. The event sold out as 220 animal lovers attended in support of the organization that has been serving local communities for 28 years with education and proactive humane animal services programs. The event raised over $27,000 (after expenses) for AFV. Pre-event appetizers during cocktail hour were provided by PF Chang’s.

Noah Turner began the evening’s events with his rendition of Adele’s “Hello.”

Best-selling writer, Shannon Kopp, author of Pound for Pound,

shared her message of surviving eating disorders and becoming an animal welfare advocate through healing relationships with shelter dogs. “Animals are more than just friends and companions – they can teach us how to savor the present moment and reclaim our joy,” she said.

AFV Executive Director Willa Bagwell led a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday” to JeanetteMarie Bassi, who is retiring from the Temecula Valley Women’s Club. The group has been longtime supporters of AFV. A surprise performance by Empire Dance Productions’ minis and juniors dance teams wowed the crowd.

“In 1996, we took in 15,000 animals and our live release rate was

Ask Giselle Duke about her quinceañera and a grin instantly glows on her face.

Last month, Duke had the opportunity to experience her rite of passage ceremony under the spotlight, as the YouTube Channel, AwesomenessTV, chose to feature her in its “My Dream Quinceañera” series. The Web show selects one girl to have their quinceañera journey broadcast online, showcasing the many facets of the 15th birthday tradition for the modern Hispanic girl. The lights and cameras played right into Duke’s Great Gatsby theme, as she thought it made her night even more special.

“I enjoyed them following me around,” Duke said. “It was so cool

to get a feel of what reality stars actually experience.”

Attending Great Oak High School in Temecula, Duke’s quinceañera stood out not only with the cameras in every corner, but with many of her friends in the court attending a quinceañera for the first time. Inevitably, many conversations developed from the culture shock.

“I had to explain (a quinceñera) to (my friends) and it took them a while to catch on,” Duke said, as she discovered that some of her friends had not even heard of one before. On top of the pressures of organizing a lavish quinceañera, Duke taught her friends the importance of quinceañeras to the Hispanic community and how the

MVUSD security camera grievance issued by CSEA Tony Ault Staff Writer Murrieta Valley Unified School District California State Educators Association President Mike Lawson told the MVUSD Board the members were concerned about security cameras installed in district buses that made recordings leading to the discipline of two district bus drivers.

“There is a growing feeling of disrespect against the board,” said Lawson representing the CSEA Murrieta chapter at the Thursday, March 10, MVUSD Board meeting.

He suggested that the bus drivers and other classified school employees understood when the security cameras were installed they were for the safety of the students and the employees and would not be used to record data that could be used to discipline the employees.

The exact cause and the type of discipline invoked on the drivers was not discussed.

Security cameras are installed in all the district’s school buses and throughout all the school campuses.

They are designed to help campus security and administrators keep watch over the student population, keep out intruders and spot other illegal acts taking place on campus that might endanger the students.

Security cameras are an effective tool to insure personal safety, protect private property and help law enforcement identify perpetrators of criminal acts.

“In this case the limits of the cameras were exceeded,” Lawson said looking at his notes. “We were misled in our understanding…They were supposed to be used for safety only.” He said the CSEA members, including the more than a dozen that attended the board meeting wearing their blue CSEA T-shirts, were concerned about the use of the cameras and the new ones that were being installed at the schools.

He said the members understood that the cameras were legal and help keep the students safe on the buses and on the campuses but, in the case of the disciplinary action against the bus drivers, they “went against the original intent. It’s unprecedented in the district,” Lawson said he hoped the board and CSEA would take it up in the upcoming labor negotiations.

School Superintendent Patrick Kelley told Lawson he was appreciative of CSEA communicating the problem with the board and said he would review the grievance. In his comments he said “We want to work with the classified employees… They are critical and essential to this district.”

School Board President Robin Crist told the CSEA members the board will discuss the issue in the upcoming classified employee labor negotiations. This brought applause from the CSEA members attending the meeting. Other members of the board lauded the ability of the CSEA and the board to communicate well together on the issues concerning the district.

In another issue concerning student safety and privacy the governing board of trustees signed a resolution unanimously opposing the disclosure of student information that is ordered by the California Department of Education under a recent federal Eastern District of California court order.

The California State Superintendent of Public Instruction notified all state school districts in the case of Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association vs. California Department of Education a court order was issued that the CDE has been ordered to disclose certain confidential student-related information sought by the plaintiffs in the case.

The information demanded by the plaintiffs sought information such as Social Security numbers, home address, demographics, assessment

results, discipline information, special education assessments (IEPs) and individualized education programs, health records, including mental health and medical information, attendance information.

In Murrieta almost every parent hearing about the court order and the school board were very concerned that such information would be either intentionally or unintentionally disclosed to unwelcome outside parties. Board President Crist said “I know that every Murrieta parent is opposed to this.”

Board member Kris Tomasian said, “Parents were mortified with this ruling. We take a lot of steps to protect our students.”

The resolution was signed by each of the board members even though the court is permitting parents and legal guardians to file an objection to the disclosure information. The resolution reads, “the failure to timely object will be deemed by the Court to waiver of the right to object and the Board is not confident that all parents have sufficient information about this Court Order or the ability to understand what may be at stake with regard to their or their student’s personal information, nor is the Board confident that the filing of any objection will actually guarantee removal of a student’s information from disclosure.”

The resolution further states “although the Court Order purports to limit the disclosure of information to a small group of individuals, there in no assurance that whatever steps are taken to secure and safeguard access to the information to that small group will be sufficient to safeguard the millions of records that are to be released under Order, leaving families vulnerable to privacy violations, cybercrime and similar risks.”

The resolution is to being to the CDE and the Clerk of the federal court.

Michelle’s Place – helping others deal with reality of breast cancer Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer When Michelle Watson was confronted with breast cancer at 23-years-old, there was no support offered to understand the diagnosis that was in front of her. A visit to a Santa Barbara breast cancer resource center opened her eyes with attention and clarification on her diagnosis. Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center was built upon a family’s desire to fulfill their daughter’s dying wish – that no one would have to go through fighting cancer alone.

“Michelle originally realized that this type of support was so necessary for women,” Ashlee Collins, communications director of Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center said. “Michelle, herself became a speaker, discussing what she was experiencing before she died. She became an advocate for others.”

Her story – 15 years later – has reached a scale that no one anticipated. To date, over 100,000 services have been offered through Michelle’s Place, the foundation built the young girl’s name. But, it is in a partnership with Gillian Larson and Reality Rally that has granted the resource center both a

regular large scale donation and exposure to a worldwide audience through the popular fundraising event.

“Gillian has an amazing ability to get people rallied and involved internationally,” Collins said. “From her networking with reality stars, to Reality Rally which is bigger than ever this year, she donates time and money from the heart.”

Michelle’s Place wants the community to know that all people should be their own advocate – we encourage people to live a lifestyle to help you stay healthy, according to Collins “So many aspects of Michelle’s Place teach people how to live a healthy lifestyle,” she said. “We offer detection services, and support services for those that have been diagnosed.”

Though Michelle’s Place serves the communities of Riverside and San Bernardino counties, the Reality Rally connection has broadened their reach to offering assistance to an even broader base, which has encouraged the facility to broaden their mission statement.

“When reality stars tag us on social media and create further exposure for our facility, it elevates Michelle’s Place to a different level,” Collins said. “Now people

see who we are, what we do and the importance of educating and empowering our clients.”

With the expansion of Michelle’s Place’s mission, comes the added benefit of assisting anyone with any type of cancer and that no one will face cancer alone.

“We want people to come in and utilize our patient navigation services,” she said.

Though financial services are reserved for individuals with breast cancer, the support groups wigs, and other services are available for all.

Services offered by Michelle’s Place include the “Look Good Feel Good” program, which offers hairstylists’ services to women who are losing their hair to shape and style wigs. This is offered once a month on a drop in basis or by appointment.

“Many ladies need that pampered feeling,” Collins said. “We also offer makeup kits, with safe products, as well as the fellowship of having your hair styled, getting pampered, and being able to relax and leave feeling better about themselves.”

Other services include the Reiki Touchless massage, a transportation program and the Patient Navigation Program.

“Your patient navigator is an

advocate that walks you through the confusion of being diagnosed with breast cancer,” Collins said.

“They help you understand your options, oncologists, results, help them understand their insurance, their options, and get to the right person.”

Though Michelle’s Place is not a medical facility, their volunteers and support staff work hand in hand with clients, helping them at their level of need.

This year, Larson has encouraged Michelle’s Place to enter two teams into the “Amazing Race” style game.

“We chose Kelsey Gerckens as our reality star. It was Michelle’s Place Executive Director Kim Goodnough’s being drawn to her spunky personality. She thought she and Joey Buttitta – her boyfriend, from ‘Amazing Race’ would be ideal to play with in the Reality Rally games.”

Gerckens and Buttitta won the million dollars on “The Amazing Race” but it was the positive way that they played that drew Goodnough’s attention.

When the reality stars come to Michelle’s Place for their tour and introduction to the Watson family and learn why they are playing, each of the contestants are affected

pany behind the cameras. Duke admitted that the event was even easier to plan with her close friends.

“My friends didn’t have any opinions for (the party),” she said.

“They didn’t say anything like, “you should do this, this way.”

They just went along with it since it’s their first time.”

Duke was given free reign over her party and more of an opportunity to create the exact manifestation of her dream quinceañera.

The first episode aired March 3, racking up over 150,000 views proving that others have become just as enthralled with the experience as Duke was.

From the hours of stress to the perfect dress, the camera captured it all. Duke did not mind. To her,

showing every aspect of the event led to a greater understanding among members of her community.

“I think it is important for people to be exposed to different cultures because it teaches them diversity and keeps them from being isolated in their own world,” Duke said.

The chance she had to express her culture made her all the more successful in maintaining her heritage.

With her close friends and the close-up shots, Duke’s quinceañera embodied everything she hoped for.

“I think that my quinceañera was perfect. I wouldn’t change anything,” Duke said.

Episodes of “My Dream Quinceañera – Giselle” are uploaded weekly and can be found on the AwesomenessTV YouTube site.

Library offers safety program for teens MURRIETA – Teens, are you are interested in learning safety tips, basic CPR and first-aid techniques? Come to the Safety: CPR & First Aid program Tuesday, March 22, at 10:30 a.m. in the Murrieta Public Library’s Community Room. This program will be presented by the Murrieta Fire Department and is geared for grades 6 to 12. Advance registration is not required to attend.

“This overview will create safety awareness in teens,” said Joyce Lea Brown, Teen Services librar-

in a personal way. This year will be no different, according to Collins.

“It’s impossible to not be affected when you listen to the survivor’s stories, and the testimony from the Watson family,” she said. “Every time Marilyn speaks, she gets emotional, seeing what they’ve gone through and how far they’ve come. We go on and live our lives and don’t think about it. We’ve lost a few from our metastatic group this year. When someone has metastatic cancer, they are living on the clock and it’s so emotional to all of us when we learn that we’ve lost someone.”

Michelle’s wish was about others and that no one would have to face cancer alone, according to Collins.

“She was so young and didn’t let any of that beat her,” she said.

“All that Michelle cared about was that others would have that support and not be alone. We just hope we are living up to her expectations.”

Riverside until September of last year, when the court decided not to renew their plan. The court reached out to the Voices for Children program in San Diego to run CASA in Riverside, largely due to the organization’s progress in San Diego.

“We are the largest CASA of the western United States,” said Lawrence. She attributes their success to “the very ambitious (Voices for Children) board of directors.”

There are 5,400 foster children in Riverside, but Voices for Children currently only serves 200 of them.

Jennifer Morrissey, vice president

marketing and communications, said, “We especially need more volunteers in Riverside since it is a new program.”

The organization seeks volunteers in Riverside over the mandated CASA age of 21, especially men and individuals fluent in Spanish. But, Voices for Children invites anyone to get involved.

“We need all the help we can get,” Lawrence said.

Volunteers receive monthlong training and evaluations before becoming a CASA. If you are interested in continuing this initiative, visit www.speakupnow.org/ for more information on volunteering and information session dates.

Supervisors fund $306,475 for Camino Del Vino road paving Joe Naiman Writer The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved $306,475 of funding to pave Camino Del Vino in Temecula between Via Fernando and DePortola Road.

The supervisors’ 5-0 vote March 1 authorizes the use of County Service Area No. 149 funding for the project and also authorizes the director of the county’s Transportation and Land Management Agency or his designee to provide the work through in-house personnel.

Under state law a public agency may use staff to perform new road

construction and road reconstruction work if the work does not exceed 30 percent of the total value of in-house work other than maintenance. The intent to use in-house staff must be declared before commencing the work.

Although more than 90 percent of the county transportation department’s work was contracted to the private sector during Fiscal Year 2014-15, less complex projects or projects of a maintenance nature can be accomplished quicker and more efficiently using county road crews due to the time and cost savings of avoiding engineered plans, contract specifications, surveying and inspection costs.

County Service Area No. 149 pro-

vides road maintenance services for 11,707 acres in the Temecula Wine Country area. County service areas are formed at the request of property owners to finance the improvement and maintenance of specific services including roads which are not in the county-maintained system.

The property owners pay for the cost of improving and maintaining the roads, and the cost share assessed to each parcel is determined by the amount of benefit it receives from the improvement.

In addition to improving access for local residents, the paving of Camino Del Vino will also reduce dust throughout the area.

The Friends of Ronald Reagan Sports Park celebrated their 10th annual Can-Do-Day Celebration Saturday, March 5. The Perry Peters Community Room was a standing room only as over 300 people packed the room to honor this year’s Essay and Mayor’s Trophy winners.

This year’s winner of the Mayor’s Trophy is no stranger to the award. For the fourth time in eight years, St. Jeanne’s de Lestonnac School took home the award. Kristen Morra, the principal of St. Jeanne’s, accepted the trophy on behalf of the school. The Mayor’s Trophy will be presented to the entire student body at a school assembly.

This year there were approximately 200 essay entries. The students were asked to write an essay on what “Individual Initiative” meant to them. This year’s Overall Winners were, First Place, Arjun T. Kumar from Ysabel Barnett Elementary who was awarded a $150 check; Second Place: Yudhister Kumar also from Ysabel Barnett Elementary, who was awarded $100 and in Third Place, from Alamos Elementary School, was Caden Lewis who received a $50 check. Kim McNeil of St. Jeanne’s de Lestonnac was presented a check for $100. A very special thanks goes out to Leon and Leanda Stavros, of the Temecula Greek Festival, who donated the money to award all the essay winners and the teacher gift.

A Patriotic Musical performance, under the direction of Anne McCann and Stacy Senecal of Rancho Elementary, by a group of first through fifth-graders called the Character Building Group (CBG), delighted the audience.

President, Ed Dominguez, Vice-President Rick Reiss and Southwest District Director for Senator Jeff Stone, Maryann Edwards were all on hand for the Can-Do-Day event.

According to a press release issued by the Friends of Ronald Reagan Sports park, they couldn’t be more impressed with the quality work the children displayed in their essays.

“Good things are happening in these classrooms,” the release reported. “Each year we try to recognize one teacher who stands out as leading his or her students to a greater understanding of not only the value of personal initiative and pride in our local heritage, but

also the value of developing good writing skill.”

Friends of Ronald Reagan Sports Park also recognized Temecula Valley High School’s Air Force ROTC under the direction of Chief Master Sgt., Jeffrey C. “Chip” Dodson.

“We attribute our success to the participation of our youth and contributions and support of our outstanding teachers and community,” said Ed Dominguez, president of Friends of Ronald Reagan SP.

Winning Murrieta Innovation Center team sparks Microsoft interest Tony Ault Writer A three man Murrieta Innovation Center team recently won a Microsoft sponsored Hackathon at Santiago College with a unique irrigation controller that created an interest from Microsoft that will bring company representatives to the Murrieta MIC. The team made up of Greg Griffes, Tim Slator and John O’Conner from the MIC hardware and software Meetup Group participated against three other teams at the college Feb. 20 by building an irrigation controller that detects and isolates faults such as leaks, blockages and broken valves in an irrigation system.

The group used some of Microsoft’s latest computer systems and the Microsoft Azure cloud service to build the unit. The practical use of the equipment will allow farmers and home owners to be electronically notified when something breaks or leaks and using the accurate data and evapotranspiration data from their water district can optimize their water use. The equipment could save water and thousands of dollars in reduced labor costs.

Farmers, golf courses and nurseries would particularly benefit from the service when they are notified immediately when there is a problem and do not need to manually, visually inspect the system. The result is more plants can be saved

and more productive by avoiding accidental damage from lack of water or overwatering during due to broken parts in their system, said Griffes who led the team to victory.

After winning the first place prize for having a useful project in environmental science that met the Hackathon criteria and was fully operational the team will have a 15-minute interview with Microsoft on Microsoft’s Channel 9 television and internet show which will be taped in the MIC’s recording studio. The date for the interview has yet to be set.

“It was a lot of work,” said Griffes, who did most of the system engineering and built the hardware demonstrator and test equipment.

“Tim Slator did the heavy lifting in Windows loT and Azure and John o’Conner made some major troubleshooting breakthroughs and wrote all of the node, js code for the simulator and front-end Azure GUI.” Griffes said after the Hackathon contest several Microsoft employees indicated they would like to visit the MIC and learn more about it. “The technology that we presented and the success of the project are of great interest to Microsoft and they have asked us to write up our Hackathon experience and document the project that it can be published on the Microsoft web pages.”

Just as excited about the team’s victory and visit from Microsoft to the MIC was Murrieta Economic

Development Director Bruce Coleman. “This is very exciting news.

How can we get a visit by Microsoft?” wrote Coleman., What are the details.” Coleman and the City Council are in the process of emphasizing the cities goal of bringing more technical and medical businesses to the city.

The MIC located at 26442 Beckman Court in Murrieta was established by the city to bring local businessmen to the center to do their work and special projects.

Coleman and his economic development staff on the MIC website explain, “Economic Development is one of the highest priorities for Murrieta, with a focus on encouraging the growth of high-technology businesses so as to promote the creation of new quality jobs in the community. We recognize that strong, local solutions are needed to grow startup technology companies and that there is a need for a business incentive program which includes access to low-cost space and mentoring programs so that startup technology companies can focus on their growth.”

Murrieta saw an opportunity at its former City Hall for the creation of a Murrieta Regional Technology Innovation Center, MIC, which provides low-cost space for approved startup technology companies, along with the business resources needed to foster their growth. Companies locating in this facility are required to relocate from the Innovation Center after a set period of time, to a privately owned space in the community – thereby helping to create and grow companies locally and then creating the space for additional new startup technology companies within the Innovation Center.

Now the Innovation Center hosts start-up and growing companies, provides resources through mentors and partners, and offers the support all young businesses need to grow.

For more information about the MIC contact Murrieta city website www.murrieta.org or www. innovatemurrieta.com.

Local Student filmmaker hopes to empower women with ‘The Last Night’ Taryn Murphy Valley News Intern International Women’s Day was celebrated worldwide March 8, but for student filmmaker Kaitlyn Mae Jones, appreciating and supporting women lasts longer than just one day.

“When I was younger I didn’t really think about being a woman as something that put me at a disadvantage. But as I have learned in the past few years from being in college and New York City, it’s not like that, and that’s really unfortunate. And I think it’s really important to empower women to recognize not just the stereotypes that get put on them, but the stereotypes that they themselves put on themselves,” Jones said.

Jones, who graduated from Mur-

rieta Valley High School in 2012, is a senior at New York University majoring in film and television production. In high school, her interest in film was sparked by her love for theater. After her directing work for a production of Neil Simon’s “Rumors” was well received, Jones became encouraged to dive into the entertainment industry. For the last four years, she has worked on directing and producing short films, and her latest project highlights the importance of girl power.

“This film is the most important one I’ve made,” Jones said.

The short film will be titled “The Last Night,” and focuses on two teenage sisters, Marly and Dru. Marly, age 19, has been taking care of her sister Dru, age 15, for the past six months following their parent’s

death. Now, Marly needs to attend college and Dru must move to a new state to live with her estranged aunt. Struggling to deal with these changes and unable to connect to her sister, Dru acts out as a way to deal with her anger and grief.

In the entertainment industry, Jones believes there is a lack of a female presence, and she has set out to change just that. Her film not only focuses on the story of two young girls, but it is directed by a female (Jones) and will be shot by a female cinematographer, her best friend McKenzie Zuleger.

“Supporting this film isn’t just about supporting me and making my short film as good as it can be, it’s about supporting the presence of women in the film and television industry and making a call for more

Clinton Keith Road construction to extend to Highway 79 begins WINCHESTER – The county of Riverside in cooperation with the City of Murrieta will begin to fully extend Clinton Keith Road as a paved road from Whitewood Road in the City of Murrieta, easterly to State Route 79. Construction starts this month and will continue until fall 2018. A ground breaking ceremony is scheduled for March 30 at 9:30 a.m.

“I’m extremely excited that we are getting this project off the ground-it will ultimately serve the entire region and improve transportation for tens

of thousands of residents and visitors,” said County Supervisor Chuck Washington.

At completion, the extension will be a four-lane urban road with ultimate build out of six lanes as funds become available. Currently the only connection between the Murrieta and Winchester communities is via Murrieta Hot Springs Road, Los Alamos Road and Scott Road. The only east-west connection between Murrieta Hot Springs Road and Scott Road is Los Alamos/Briggs Road, which is a 2 lane

winding road with limited capacity.

In February goats were positioned within the project area to clear vegetation in an environmentally safe way. This method reduces the impacts on the local community while encouraging birds to nest in other locations. During construction detours and closures will occur. Residents are asked to obey directions of the flaggers, speed laws and slow down.

females behind the camera and more stories focusing on female protagonists in front of the camera,” Jones explained.

Jones hopes that the film will be another step towards showing the world that women can be skilled and capable in whatever career they choose, even if the industry is dominated by men.

“Just because I’m a woman doesn’t mean I’m less capable of telling a story,” she stated.

But as Jones strives to make her film the best that it can be, she faces a common, discouraging obstacle – funding. The film’s needed budget is over $7,000, but as of now, Jones is roughly $2,000 short.

“We need help funding our budget so that the film can be as good as it deserves to be,” she said. “It’s kind of nerve-wracking.”

Jones knows that quality equipment is key to capturing her vision for the film, and that her adeptness at filmmaking will ultimately be proven by the aesthetic of the film itself. Unfortunately, Jones’ school does not provide for costs such as location and transportation, nor does

City of Murrieta hires new city clerk MURRIETA – Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley has announced that Jane Halstead has been hired as the new city clerk and will start March 28. Halstead has a long, distinguished career in public service that most recently includes serving as the city clerk for the city of Moreno Valley since 2007. In 2004, she began working in Moreno Valley as the deputy city clerk.

“The role of the city clerk is unique and extremely important in local government,” said City Manager Rick Dudley. “The official must serve as an independent and impartial liaison between citizens and government by ensuring a transparent and open process in concert with the city’s mission of providing ultimate customer and taxpayer service with integrity, teamwork and accountability. Jane Halstead exemplifies the city clerk profession and we are fortunate to add her to our team.”

As the compliance officer for federal, state and local laws including the Political Reform Act, the Brown Act and the Public Records Act, the city clerk department has a plethora of responsibilities including prepara-

tion and dissemination of meeting agendas and minutes, maintaining and providing citywide records and serving as the compliance officer for campaign finance disclosure and conflict of interest statements, as well as ethics code and training compliance.

The city clerk also administers fair and impartial elections for City Council candidates and ballot measures, and conducts voter registration, ensures all updates to the Murrieta Municipal Code are timely and accurate, processes all resolutions, ordinances, contracts, insurance, deeds and official documents, coordinates recruitment for commission applications and records minute actions and publishes legal notices and bid openings and logs claims.

In addition to her role at the city of Moreno Valley, Halstead previously worked for the city of Murrieta as a Senior Office Specialist and as Board Secretary for the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. Before moving to California, she resided in southeast Arizona and worked for nine years at a school district. She received a bachelor of science degree in Business and Management from

the University of Redlands in 2007 and a Master of Arts in Management in 2009. She holds the designation of Certified Municipal Clerk from the International Institute of Municipal Clerks.

it cover the high quality camera that Jones desires to use.

“I don’t want to have this project be anything less than it can be,” she said.

As Jones raises awareness about her need for funding, she is also open to feedback and advice, as well as opportunities and platforms to share her project. The kickstarter for the film can be viewed at www.kickstarter.com/projects/kaitlynjones/ the-last-night. Jones has also created a Facebook page to rally support for the project, www.facebook.com/ thelastnight2016/.

With her hard work on the film beginning to fall into place, Jones is hopeful that both women and men will realize the potential of “The Last Night” and donate to the cause. Ultimately, she looks forward to the finished product, which she desires to showcase at film festivals in order to jump-start her career in the industry.

But whatever her resulting budget is, Jones is confident in the clear, supportive message of her film.

“It’s a film about women, by women,” she said.

START with STRAWBERRIES TEMECULA – One of the first food plants you’ll see at garden centers are strawberries and there’s lots of good reasons to get them growing in your garden.

Children are likely to enjoy the sweetness of strawberries even more if they’re involved in the

planting, growing, and harvesting.

Planting strawberries will offer a healthy way for children to learn about natural sweetness, and kids love watching them grow, seeing the flowers and bees and then seeing the fruit develop and turn color. After developing a sense

of ownership of their strawberry plants, they’ll love eating the fruits of their labor. Getting kids in the garden will provide good, healthy exercise and an opportunity for them to nurture nature and see, first hand, just where food comes from.

Plus, homegrown strawberries just plain taste better than store bought. Strawberries are cold-hardy and very adaptable, so they’re really easy to grow. You can grow them in containers, hanging baskets, raised beds or in-ground, making them accessible to everyone, no matter how much space you have – or don’t have. Growing Ever-bearing strawberries, like Bonnie Plants’ Ever Sweet, Quinalt, Tristan or Loran varieties will keep you well supplied throughout the entire season and into fall.

If you want to keep it really simple, or you just don’t have in-ground garden space, plant strawberries in a container, or you can buy them already planted in a hanging basket. Just remember that container plantings need more water than in-ground plantings, usually once a day, and if it’s hot, twice a day. Planting in a strawberry pot is easy too and you can fit several plants in just one pot; just make sure whatever type of garden pot you use has good drainage.

There are two main types of strawberries, June-bearing and Ever-bearing. June bearing varieties, like Bonnie Plants’ All-Star, bear all at once, usually over a

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

The question remains, what is crucial to do to your home before listing it?

Well, if you are planning on selling your home, whether it be for a lifestyle upgrade, or a more suitable neighborhood or even if you’re just bored and simply need a change you’re going to have to follow a few steps in order to make sure this is a decision that will transform

Get emotionally detached: Once you determine that this is the right decision for you and your family, you need to leave your emotions out of the process. Remember, it’s a house, the home is whereever you and your family end up. Selling your house is a business decision.

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

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

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

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

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

Get a good real estate agent: There are many great real estate agents out there but you need to find the one who is perfect for you.

Interview several and discuss with each the particular terms and conditions of working with him. What should you focus on? You need to have an experienced agent who is familiar with your neighborhood.

Remember that all real estate is local and your real estate agent should be too.

Perhaps the most critical aspect of the new relationship revolves around trust and communication.

Word to the wise, look beyond your family and friends who have real estate licenses.

Get your home refreshed: It’s time to get the home ready. Time to declutter and make all of the small repairs on the proverbial “Honey Do List.” Cosmetic touches can increase the value of your home and make it more desirable over the competition.

Be ready for your real estate agent’s professional photographer to come and take amazing photos, which he can only accomplish if

the home looks spectacular. Some easy ways to do this is to let in the natural light, focus on neutral paint colors and please make sure there are no pets or cooking odors. Make the house appear to be a home, warm and cozy.

Get your home inspected: A neutral, third party, looking at your home can evaluate any problems that a buyer will certainly discover on their own. Certainly there are problems with the house that disturbed you while you’ve been living in it. Fix them now.

By problems we are referring to either cosmetic or functional. Both are equally important.

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

In short, your home needs to be a move-in ready house.

The rebound to the economy has already prompted many homes to come on the market and more are sure to follow. Your home to needs to have the “WOW Factor,” something that homebuyers will remember and want.

Selling your home is a process that demands your participation. If you just kick back and wait for it to happen then chances are you won’t sell it at all. Please be prepared for every single potential buyer who tours your property – you just never know which one will buy it.

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

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

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

buds. I’ve had to begin irrigating my bushes, and I was late in getting mine pruned. If you prune on schedule, I’m sure you are seeing a good flush of new leaves.

Be sure the ground around, under, and between bushes is clear of debris.

Also, remove all old leaves that may be left on the bush. This cleanliness with help keep down disease.

If you didn’t use a lime-sulphur dormant spray earlier, you can still do so. Read the label and use the recommended dilution for “growing season instructions.” Be sure to saturate all canes and the soil surface of the entire bed.

Take time now to inspect and make any necessary repairs to your irrigation system. Drip systems are the most efficient and they avoid problems created by above-ground sprayers and sprinklers, which waste water (very important during our serious drought) and can foster molds (e.g., mildew and rust). For best results and efficiency, be sure to time the irrigation so it is complete before it gets hot (preferably by mid-morning, that is, 8 - 9 a.m.). If possible, avoid any over spray or misting of water being applied elsewhere in your garden that may hit your roses.

Avoid daytime watering or when there is any wind.

Now would be the time to sprinkle one-half cup to one cup of Epson salts widely around each rose bush (use half as much for minis and minifloras). There is some indication that this helps stimulate new cane growths known as “basal breaks” at the bud union (the big part next to the ground where grafting was done).

When the new growth is two to three inches long, you can begin fertilizing. I suggest an initial feeding each year be higher in nitrogen to encourage new stem and leaf growth. In about two weeks, apply fertilizer that is higher in phosphate to give roots a boost at start of season.

I highly recommend organic type fertilizers as versus inorganic or “chemical” ones. Organics foster better soil development, a richer, livelier, more viable community of soil organisms, that break the elements into easily absorbed form and release them slowly. They will “build” soil structure into a healthy component and when used regularly will develop a soil rich in reserve energy, allowing you to use less product with the same results.

Apply minimum of two to four inches of organic composted mulch over the entire garden surface to insulate the upper eight to 12 inches where most rose roots feed and to reduce evaporation and conserve water, while still providing sufficient moisture. It will also supply nutrients to build the soil and your roses.

Be sure to visit the Rose Haven Heritage Garden located at 30500 Jedediah Smith Road (the cross street is Cabrillo Avenue) in Temecula, a 3.4-acre rose garden owned and maintained by the Temecula Valley Rose Society, a 501(c)(3) organization, supported with donations from kind people like you. Look for the donation box when you visit! Also, visit www.

TemeculaValleyRoseSociety.org regularly for great information and schedule of events. Spread the joy of roses!

Move into the outdoors with wood furniture

TEMECULA – It’s time to think about the lazy days of summer and create a comfortable, attractive outdoor living area that reflects your family’s lifestyle. Consider décor featuring wood furniture that you build yourself, using advice and products from Woodcraft. Or, if you already have wood furniture, let Woodcraft help you give it a new look – perhaps distressed or antiqued or a brand-new color.

Furniture options Woodcraft offers nearly three dozen building plans for the popular Adirondack chair in several individual styles, as well as a rocker,

loveseat, folding, twin adjustable, chaise lounge, child size and footstools. Adirondack chair templates are also available. Other outdoor seating plans include Tudor style chairs, folding sling chairs and porch and folding patio rockers.

Picnic table-bench combo plans include the traditional shape and an octagonal version, while bench plans feature seats with and without backs/arms in various styles such as Tudor, Lutyens, English and arched.

Traditional porch swing plans come in several styles, some with frames for yard use. Glider plans are also available.

Other plans include a tree seat, garden trellises, a footbridge, birdhouses and a camp kitchen.

Woodcraft’s project plans include the outdoor table and benches shown here and featured in a recent issue of “Woodcraft Magazine.”

Tools and products to build or repair Once you have selected a rot-resistant wood, such as cypress, cedar, locust or white oak, the 7.0 amp variable-speed Bosch Barrel Grip Jigsaw with a tool-less bladechange system will make cutting chores easy. Keep

a work surface handy with the 30 inch by 24 inch lightweight, portable QuikBENCH equipped with a vise, a 15-amp, three-outlet power strip and four bench dogs. Add more benches for a larger surface.

To join the furniture pieces, Kreg Jig HD Starter Kit will do the job using pocket-hole joinery. The Kreg Jig¨ HD is made to work with 11Ú2 inch and thicker material to build outdoor furniture, fences, trellises and more. Kreg Jig¨ HD Screws are #14 hardened-steel screws with a Protec-Koteª finish that has three anti-corrosion layers.

Other tools, supplies and hardware that come in handy for furniture projects include: Titebond III Ultimate Wood Glue for interior and exterior use is waterproof (not for use under water), cleans up with water, has an eightminute open assembly time, and offers an application temperature as low as 47 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chappell Universal Stainless Steel Square combines a center rule and a bench square. eTape16 Digital Tape Measure features a readout in 1Ú16 inch and 1millimeter increments and easy conversion to feet, inches and fractions.

The new Festool TXS Compact Drill Driver Set is lightweight but powerful and can reach into tight spots easily.

The lightweight, compact Grex GC1850 Cordless 2 inch, 18-gauge Brad Nailer features an all-metal

robust construction with the power to sink 2-inch 18-gauge brad nails into 2-inch red oak.

Combo Adjustable Adirondack Chair Hardware works for the complementary Adirondack Plan Value Pack that includes three furniture plans.

HIGHPOINT XT Square Drive Woodworking Screws, Flathead, 100-piece packs offer almost twice the torque values of other screws.

Glider Bracket Hardware fits most gliders and can be used to replace old worn or broken brackets typically used in outdoor gliders.

Glider Rocker Bearing Kit includes low-speed steel bearings with a smooth bore that will fit a standard 3Ú8 inch bolt. Bearings will retrofit to most any glider rockers for easy repair.

Finishing Selecting a finish offers the opportunity to customize furniture for your family’s tastes and lifestyle.

Color and special effects options are the tools for this creative endeavor.

For removing finish when refinishing furniture, Blue Bear Paint and

Urethane Stripper (Soy Gel) is a good choice because it has no known health hazards, is virtually odorless and works well.

General Finishes Milk Paint is for use indoors or outdoors, and the 28 premixed colors can be mixed, lightened, glazed, layered, antiqued or distressed.

General Finishes Outdoor Oil Finish is ideal for exterior weather conditions and may be used over other brands of exterior oil stain or exterior clear oil finishes for additional protection.

WoodRiver Pure Tung Oil provides a natural, long-lasting finish.

General Finishes 450 Varnish in Satin minimizes fading, retards mold and fungus growth and can be applied quickly to achieve a clear, tough finish.

System Three Marine Spar Varnish in Satin is designed for exterior surfaces and provides long-lasting protection against water and marine environments.

SAVE MONEY AND

ENERGY

energy-efficient one!

We pride ourselves on high quality workmanship, excellent service & affordable pricing

Dryer vents Thousands of fires happen every year are caused by dryer lint build up. In addition, the buildup of dirt in the dryer vent can also increase your energy consumption. This is because a clogged up vent would make your dryer take more time to dry your clothes.

Fire safety Change batteries in smoke detectors (this should be done twice a year), and make sure units are free of dust.

Teach everyone in your household how to use a fire extinguisher, and review escape plans.

Improve air quality: Change AC air filter. Clean air conditioner condensation lines. Have Air Conditioner serviced.

Check plumbing Angle stops, supply lines, pressure regulator, water heater, caulking around sinks, showers, tubs fixtures, indoor and outdoor drains.

easily. Protect it with a penetrating grout sealer; it’s best to apply it with a small foam brush.

Use the following are cleaning tips to make your spring cleaning a snap.

Clean upholstered furnishings Ruth Travis, president of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, says that to remove stains and odors, blot up as much of the mess as you can right away. While you’re blotting the upholstery, put a plastic liner or a garbage bag between the cushion and the fabric, so you don’t push the contaminant into the cushion. Then flush with cold water as best you can. Blot and flush again. Cold water doesn’t set stains as much as hot water. You can also use a portable spot cleaner or wet/dry vac. If there’s still a residual odor, use a half-vinegar, half-water solution and rinse again.

If that doesn’t work, call in the professionals.

Vacuum upholstered furnishings Use a vacuum’s upholstery and crevice tools to clean under seat cushions.

Reseal grout lines The cement-based material between wall, floor, and countertop tiles is extremely porous and stains

Vacuum and professionally clean rugs and carpet Synthetic carpets and rugs with waterproof backings can be deepcleaned with a rotary shampoo machine and a hot-water extraction machine. Rugs without backings, including Orientals, require professional cleaning. To help keep your carpets clean between professional cleanings, take off your shoes when you get home, but leave your socks on because your bare feet will deposit natural oils that will attract dirt.

Air quality, wash window screens Using warm water and a mild dishwashing liquid, scrub each screen with a brush; rinse thoroughly.

Air quality, clean window treatments Many draperies and curtains are machine washable; check labels. Dry-clean fabric shades. Wipe wooden blinds with a damp cloth; warm water mixed with a mild dishwashing liquid is safe for metal and vinyl blinds.

Quick cleaning helpers Sponges Put your damp sponge in the microwave for two minutes to kill germs.

Showerhead Fill a bag with vinegar, place the shower head in it and tie. Leave it there overnight and see how sparkling clean it is in the morning.

Pet fur To remove pet fur from upholstery or clothing, simply put on a pair of rubber gloves and rub. The fur will stick to the gloves like magic!

And if you find you just do not have the time for spring cleaning, call Right Stop Cleaning Services. Right Stop has over 20 years of commercial, business, and residential experience with property restoration, emergency repairs and cleaning.

Furry Friends offers kids chance to get GOOD DOG, BAD BREATH? up close and personal with animals Dental awareness Month extenDeD thru March!

15% OFF

Kim Harris Managing Editor Spring break is fast approaching for students in the Temecula Valley and for parents looking for a way to entertain their children, Animal Friends of the Valleys may have the answer.

Furry Friends Kids’ camp offers children ages 5 to 11 the opportunity to get up close and personal with their four-legged residents.

Campers will learn a variety of animal related things, including how to care for pets and animal safety, said Marisa Charrier, humane educator at the nonprofit organization located in Wildomar.

“We of course talk about pet care responsibility, how to be safe,” Charrier said. “We are going to have Camp Bow Wow come out for dog bite prevention. We are going to have Lucky Bunny Rescue come out and speak to them about the proper care for rabbits.”

Charrier said that local author of the children’s book series, Life’s Little Lessons with Ellie the Weiner Dog will also be on hand to share her new book with campers.

“Her name is Kim Hales and she will be bringing Ellie who the book is based on and she is going to read some excerpts from her book,” Charrier said.

In addition, children at Furry Friends Kids’ Camp will also do animal related crafts and activities. But the goal of the program is actually to teach children that they can make a difference, no matter what their age.

“It’s primarily a way to empower kids, to teach them that there is a way they can help out even if they are really young, they are never too young to care and help out with animals,” Charrier said. “They are never too young to be compassionate toward animals and people.”

Two different sessions are offered at the camp which begins Monday, March 28, and runs through Friday, April 1. The morn-

Paul Bandong Staff Writer The Economic Development Corporation of Southwest California held its fourth annual Signature Awards Presentation March 9, at the Temecula Creek Inn as a tribute to 2015’s outstanding companies in the region.

This year’s keynote speaker was consultant Wes Schaeffer, creator and owner of The Sales Whisperer, an inbound marketing, sales training and consulting firm. Selfdescribed as a “ruthlessly pragmatic entrepreneur,” Schaeffer charmed the audience with his Southern accent and down-home style while he educated with practical steps and inspired with his insightful experiences.

Schaeffer shared his “ABCDE” program of building a successful business – Attract, Bond, Close, Deliver, Endear.

“Most people are not doing business with you for two reasons – they have never heard of you . . . or they have,” Schaeffer said as he emphasized knowing clients, knowing what works, measuring efforts and results, creating a multitouch process, and entering the stream of “attention arbitrage.”

Don Murray, president of the EDC Southwest California, pre-

sented the 2015 Awards.

The Emerging Business of 2015 award went to My Choice in Home Care and was accepted by Megan Zimmerer, one of the owners. The company was also nominated in two other categories.

Mike Melson, founder of software startup Hawk Analytics, accepted the award for Innovative Business 2015. The company provides cellphone location analysis for law enforcement.

The Most Notable Investment and Development of 2015 Award went to The Truax Group.

“We are fortunate to be in a great place,” said Bernie Truax II, owner of the Truax Group, “In real estate development, it’s all about location. location, location, and we just happen to be in the right place with a great team. We have a real commitment to the development of this area.”

Outstanding Small Business of 2015 was the Law Offices of Robin Johnson.

“I have no employees to thank,” said Johnson, “It’s just me. I only regret that there aren’t enough hours in the day to give to the community.”

The Outstanding Medium Business of 2015 went to the King Law Firm.

Murray then made a special presentation to outgoing EDC Executive Director Morris Myers who is now with Mt. San Jacinto College.

“I am now just an ambassador,” said Morris, “and I encourage all businesses to join and share in the mission and vision and work of expanding economic development in this region.”

The EDC was founded in 1991 as a public-private partnership, an umbrella organization that promotes regional economic development and seeks to expand the competitive position of regional businesses in a global economy.

“It’s government’s job to set the table,” said Doug McAllister, executive director of EDC Southwest,” it’s our job to take it the rest of the way.”

Remaining candidates leave poor choices for Republican voters Kim Harris Managing Editor In last week’s editorial, “Democratic presidential candidates leave a lot to be desired,” I offered up my thoughts on the two candidates vying for a place on the Democrat ticket.

This week, I’ll approach the Republican side of the race, which, in my opinion, doesn’t look much better than Clinton and Sanders.

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump leaves much to be desired.

He continues to bloviate, offering up no real solutions to the problems faced by Americans. Other than his completely ridiculous, utterly unattainable “wall” between the U.S. and Mexico, Trump has yet to address issues that are important to me in a realistic manner. Let’s take a look at Trump and my top concerns.

On the immigration issue, the whole “I will build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me,” is nothing but a bunch of malarkey and not a solution to the real problem of immigration.

Yes, illegal immigration is at an alltime high, but does anybody, really believe that this silly wall proposal will stop people from entering the country? I sure don’t – not unless Trump intends to build one along every border of the United States and then staff said wall with armed guards every 20 feet or so. Good luck with that one, buddy.

The economy continues to struggle as our national debt skyrockets to epic proportions, at the time of my writing this editorial, we are quickly approaching $119.2 trillion, but other than to say he will, “Make America great again,” I have no idea what Trump intends to do about this country’s economic situation, as a

matter of fact, I have no idea how he stands on any of the issues, not because I am not paying attention, but rather because he hasn’t said much of anything indicating his plan of action on any of the issues, including minimum wage, taxes, race relations and recovery of American jobs from foreign countries. All he does is continue to go off on his ridiculous rants and spout off a bunch of garbage that for some reason a majority of Republican Americans are buying into. I’ve searched his Web page only to find more of the same with no real solutions, I have to wonder, how this guy has gotten as far as he has.

His absurdly bizarre and outrageous behavior have me perplexed as to what the heck we as Americans are thinking. Trump might be a good businessman, or possibly even a great one, but is this blowhard really the guy we want running our country? I know I sure don’t.

Next up we have Texas Senator Ted Cruz, the guy who oftentimes gets into arguments with Trump during debates that are reminiscent of when my children were small, fighting over whose turn it was to play with the Legos.

No matter how many times I see him debate “The Donald” I can’t seem to find my way aboard the Cruz bandwagon. But, at least he is coming out with some solutions to the aforementioned issues.

Cruz has toughened his stance on immigration the past few weeks.

While he originally downplayed what he called “a deportation force,” Cruz came out in February with guns blazing, saying he would deport the estimated 12 million immigrants suspected of entering the country illegally. Like Trump, Cruz now says the country should build a wall (what

is it with these guys and building walls) and triple border patrol. According to his website, www.tedcruz. org, his full plan for immigration reform includes securing the border, strengthening and enforcing existing immigration laws and immigration reform that prioritizes the “interests and well-being of Americans.”

Cruz’s tax reform is how he intends to reignite the economy. So what does his tax reform entail?

How does no more Internal Revenue Service sound to you? His simple flat tax “abolishes the IRS and replaces the byzantine tax code” with what he calls “a simple, fair tax.” Under his plan for personal taxes, a 10 percent tax across the board would be instituted with the first $36,000 being tax-free. He would retain the child tax credit and expand on the earned income credit, among other things.

While this seems to appeal to many voters across the country. Personally, I am on the fence.

Like Trump, Cruz tends to rub me the wrong way, I am not really sure why, perhaps it’s his brash and obnoxious behavior during the debates or maybe it is the fact that I perceive him to be just as self-involved as Trump, but in a less obvious manner I just can’t put my finger on it, but this guy is not one I want to see representing my interests on the world stage.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio was originally my Republican of choice, I liked his plan to fight for a balanced budget and force Washington to cut spending and “live within its means” without raising taxes. He plans to push for line-item veto authority which would allow him, if elected president, to put the kibosh on that nasty habit that legislatures have of sneaking spending for random things into totally unrelated bills. I also

liked his plan to save Social Security which included allowing Americans to pay into the government’s Thrift Savings Plan and reducing the rate of growth benefits for upper income seniors while making the program stronger for lower income seniors.

On immigration, Rubio said that he would immediately secure our borders by finishing all 700 miles of walls on our southern border (here is that pesky wall again) if elected president, he plans to enforce immigration laws in the workplace and would implement an effective visa tracking system. He also plans to eliminate federal funding for sanctuary cities, deport those who enter to country illegally and engage in criminal acts. He would also hire 20,000 new border patrol agents and install $4 billion in new cameras and sensors on the border.

In all honestly, I still like Rubio, though his failure to perform well in debates and as of press time his ability to only win in D.C., Puerto Rico and my home state of Minnesota in the primaries leads me to believe he won’t be around much longer in the race to the White House. My only consolation is that he is young and perhaps will launch another run for president in a future election when he has more experience under his belt.

Ohio Governor John Kasich is truly a conservative Republican and has a proven track record, making him another favorite of mine. He successfully cut taxes in Ohio by 16 percent and still managed to create a balanced budget despite an $8 billion projected shortfall, we could certainly use a guy like that in office to rein in excessive spending in D.C. When he served as chairman of the of the U.S. House Budget Committee in the late 1990s, John Kasich led the

effort to balance the federal budget for the first time in a generation, cut taxes, and began paying down the national debt held by the public and generated a projected $5 trillion surplus.

While Kasich is all for securing the border, he believes that deporting those in the country illegally is not a realistic endeavor and that the goal should be to not focus on those already here, but rather those who may attempt to cross the border in the future. What got me was when he said in response to Trump – the same thing I believe – that it is just a “silly argument” about deportation.

“If they have been law-abiding, they pay a penalty. They get to stay.

We protect the wall. Anybody else comes over, they go back. But for the 11 million people, come on, folks.

We all know you can’t pick them up and ship them across, back across the border. It’s a silly argument. It is not an adult argument. It makes no sense,” Kasich said in a September interview with CNN. Focusing on the future rather than the past Kasich, who unfortunately has also done poorly in the primaries, appeals to my inner sensibilities.

At this point in the race, it’s too early for me to reveal my Republican pick since as I am writing my editorial, voters in both Rubio’s and Kasich’s home states, Florida and Ohio respectively, are voting in their primaries. The outcome of those two events will probably determine who continues their bid for the White House and who falls by the wayside.

What I can say is this, I would have a hard time throwing my support to either of the frontrunners for the Republican nomination for president.

But, hey, it’s only my opinion.

The nation’s first experiment with daylight saving time ended when it was repealed in 1919. With the outbreak of World War II, daylight saving time was reinstated, but its observance was left up to states and localities once the war was over. This created a hodgepodge of local time observances, which led Congress to pass the Uniform Time Act in 1966. The Act provided for

nationwide standardized starting and ending dates for daylight time, with exemptions allowing states like Arizona and Hawaii (and now maybe California) to opt out.

I’d like to hear your opinions about this proposal. If you’d like to weigh in, please visit my website at www.asm.ca.gov/waldron.

Should we end daylight saving time?

Marie Waldron Special to Valley News Falling back and springing forward has become a bi-annual tradition for most Americans. We often do this without much thought; it’s become a ritual that marks the changing seasons. In fact, many look forward to the additional sunshine daylight time seems to

generate at the end of the day during the spring and summer months.

As you may know, there is a growing movement in the United States to do away with daylight saving time. In California, Assemblyman Kansen Chu, D – San Jose, has introduced AB 2496. The bill seeks to repeal Proposition 12, which created statewide daylight time when it was passed by voters

in 1949.

Daylight saving time has a long history. Standard time in recognized time zones was not established by law until passage of the Standard Time Act during World War I. The act also established daylight time as a wartime measure that was supposed to help save energy, a claim that has now been called into question by some studies.

California HERO Program creates new jobs by upgrading homes with energy and water savings products RIVERSIDE – Officials at the HERO Property Assessed Clean Energy Program recently announced that more than 10,000 local jobs have been created in California through HERO projects completed in more than 50,000 homes since the program launched in December 2011. HERO financing enables homeowners to make energy- and water-efficiency improvements and to pay for them over time through their property tax bill. This financing may have tax benefits and homeowners may see immediate savings on utility bills.

New jobs created by the program are primarily for contractor services in the clean-energy economy in communities throughout the state.

“What we set out to do in communities throughout California was provide an option for homeowners to affordably choose energy efficiency, renewable energy, or water conserving products when they made needed repairs,” said J.P. McNeill, CEO of Renovate America, the company that administers the HERO Program.

“We’ve now done that for 50,000 homeowners—and in turn more than 10,000 new jobs have been created in California.”

The majority of homeowners who choose HERO had a system in their home fail or need replacement or an upgrade. HERO’s PACE financing allows them to make an investment in their home that is likely to lower its operating cost, with no upfront cash required, and to be paid back over terms based on the useful life of the product through their property tax collection. Those terms are often longer than credit cards or home equity lines of credit would allow, bringing monthly payments within reach.

That affordability makes a variety of energy-saving products available, including solar power panel installations, whole-home heating and cooling (HVAC) systems, energy-saving windows and doors, and roofing and insulation. HERO also supports a variety of products to help homeowners save water, including high-efficiency toilets, faucets and showerheads; drip irrigation systems; rainwater catchment systems; gray water systems; and artificial turf and other drought-tolerant landscaping.

In addition to creating jobs, the 50,000 homeowners will save an estimated $2.2 billion on lower utility bills, conserve 7.8 billion kWh of energy, reduce emissions by 2.1 million tons or the of equivalent taking 400,000 SUVs off the road for a year, and save more than 2.9 billion gallons of water or the equivalent of 92 million showers.

“The transition to a clean energy economy is happening now,” said Congressman Scott Peters. “The Clean Power Plan, Paris Climate Agreement, and extension of renewable tax credits continue to encourage private sector investment in clean energy to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. The success of the HERO Program is proof that we don’t have to choose between a clean environment and a prosperous economy.”

A wide range of jobs contribute to fulfilling a homeowner order for new solar panels, an upgraded heating and air conditioning system, or a water-saving artificial turf installation. By stimulating home renovation activity, PACE financing drives job creation. And because the work is done locally, contractors and support and administrative personnel typically feed their earnings back into their communities, which benefits other local businesses. Jobs created through HERO tend to be long-term, family-wage earning positions.

A recent study conducted by nationally-recognized housing economist Laurie Goodman showed that on average homes with HERO improvements sell at a price premium that can range from $199 to more than $8,800. That means energy and water projects recover and often exceed the investment, compared to recent studies showing popular kitchen and bathroom remodels recover only 58 percent to 66 percent of their costs. Homeowners may also benefit immediately from efficiencyoriented improvements through lower utility bills and potential tax benefits.

The HERO Program has received numerous awards, including the Governor›s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award, the Urban Land Institute Best of the Best and the Southern California Association

of Governments President›s Award for Excellence. Taking part in the HERO Program is 100 percent voluntary for both jurisdictions and

property owners. The program is cost neutral to participating local governments. The HERO Program has now been adopted by 370 communities in

California, within 37 counties, and has funded more than $1 billion in efficiency upgrades since December 2011.

Entertainment Father-Daughter Duo Arts Council Menifee artists of month

Chuck Fisher along with his daughter Tiffany O’Malley have been recognized by Arts Council Menifee as March’s artists of the month.

MENIFEE -- Chuck Fisher and Tiffany O’Malley, father and daughter, award-winning artists in their chosen fields, are being recognized

by Arts Council Menifee as March’s artists of the month.

Fisher is a painter who has focused on watercolors in recent years and O’Malley is a photographer with a great eye for architectural structure.

Both currently have works on display at the art gallery at Menifee’s Kay

Ceniceros Community Center.

Fisher is a self-taught painter who has been working at his craft for the past 20 years. He describes his art style as traditional with an emphasis on still life and nature themes.

Animals are a preferred subject when Fisher is painting for himself. Last year he entered his paintings in the Southern California Fair in Perris and won numerous prizes including a first place ribbon.

Murrieta Library to celebrate city’s birthday with history talk MURRIETA – The Murrieta Public Library will honor the 25th birthday of the city of Murrieta with a quarterly speaker showcase, beginning with a history talk with Steve Williamson, museum specialist from the Temecula Valley Museum, Tuesday, March 22, at 6 p.m., in the Library’s Community Room.

Williamson’s presentation will encompass information on Murrieta’s prehistory, its origins as a township and its eventual cityhood.

This event inaugurates a series of programs on local history throughout the year. Other presentations will be in the months of June, August and November. Refreshments will be served, and time permitting, viewing tours of the Heritage Room will be offered after each event.

This event is free and open to the public. The Murrieta Public Library is located at 8 Town Square (Adams Avenue and Kalmia Street). For more information, call (951) 304BOOK (2665) or visit the library’s

Murder mystery dinner at Mount Palomar Winery TEMECULA – Annata Bistro/ Bar at Mount Palomar Winery will host a murder mystery special event unlike anything in the Temecula Valley Friday, April 1. “The Hollywoodland Murder” presented by Dainty Dames Events gives guests the chance to catch a killer while enjoying a five-star dinner and cocktails.

“After the monumental success that we’ve had in Los Angeles, we are very excited to bring the Old-Hollywood glamour of tinsel town to the breathtaking valleys of wine country,” said Renee Dorian, cofounder of Dainty Dames Events.

“Get ready for a killer event.”

The background of the murder mystery based in 1949 is that participants, who are members of Tinsel Town’s elite, are invited to the world premiere of “The Hollywoodland Murder,” which has stirred up some controversy. Critics claim it is an exploitation of the infamous murder of “The Black Dahlia,” only a few years after it shocked the nation.

Unbeknownst to the premiere attendees, guests have entered a one-of-a-kind hostage situation, as they innocently mingle and dine on a delectable three course meal.

The killer has arrived and carefully constructed a twisted game, where guests must work together by participating in various challenges and tests of wit to solve this murder mystery, before the body count grows!

Doors open at 7 p.m. on April 1, and the show starts at 8 p.m. The full menu, prices, and the registration form are available online at www.MountPalomarWinery.com.

Web page at www.murrietalibrary. info.

“It’s great that some of Chuck’s artwork depicts equestrian scenes.

The horse lovers in this area really appreciate his work,” said Arts Council Menifee’s past president Bill Zimmerman.

Fisher joined ACM about five years ago and likes the camaraderie of the visual arts group.

“I look forward to participating in the events and attending the monthly meetings,” said Fisher, 80. “I am a full-time artist who also enjoys spending time with my family. I also enjoy watching football, going to the casino and traveling with my beautiful wife.”

Chuck and Bobbi Fisher have been married 48 years and moved to Menifee about eight years ago.

Bobbi, who has a strong aesthetic for interior designing, helps her husband with custom framing of his art pieces. Their daughter Tiffany O’Malley shares their passion for art.

O’Malley joined a team of artists from the Arts Council to participate in Mt. San Jacinto College’s Arts Festival in November and displayed her work in a fine arts exhibit area under the courtyard trees.

“Guests seemed to migrate right toward Tiffany’s display of photographic images she had placed on our grid wall,” Zimmerman said.

“The best photographers have an eye for artistic composition, and Tiffany’s work really showcases her innate talent.”

O’Malley has had a passion for photography for as long as she can remember. She took her first photography class in high school and never stopped taking photos.

“I decided to turn my passion into

a business and have not looked back since,” said O’Malley, 45. “Becoming a professional photographer has been, and continues to be, a dream come true.”

When taking photos for fun, her favorite subjects have always been her two children.

“I absolutely love being able to capture them at different stages of their lives and being able to look back on those special moments,” she said.

O’Malley joined Arts Council Menifee after her parents told her about it and she enjoys being around so many other creative people.

Chuck Fisher was born in Hawaii and spent 35 years as a professional big-rig truck driver. Bobbi Fisher worked as administrative assistant for state senator Bill Craven for 22 years and still likes to brag about the fact that one of her husband’s paintings was chosen by Craven to hang in the state capital for one year.

“With so much in this world go-

$20

ing downhill, art is something they can never take away from you. It’s inside of you and your hands make it come out in you,” Chuck Fisher said. “I love teaching new artists and want to continue to paint for the rest of my life.”

O’Malley made a similar lifechanging decision, having studied business and finance in college, thinking that would be her career direction.

“After being married and raising my children, I found that my path had changed and photography was my future,” she said. “I absolutely love what I do and am grateful every day for the wonderful opportunity I have been given. As they say: when you love what you do, you never have to work another day in your life.”

O’Malley can be contacted at www.tiffanyomalleyphotography. com.

Maurice Car’rie Vineyard and Winery a consistent winner in Temecula Valley

This Temecula Valley Wine Country gem, owned by the Van Roekel family, names their wines for members of the family, such as Papa’s Favorite Port.

W

hen you visit Temecula Valley Wine Country and cruise down the quilted vineyard landscapes off Rancho California Road, there is no missing the French provincial winery estate at the bottom of the hill.

With acreage spread out behind a windmill lazily spinning in the gentle breeze and a lawn blanketing the front, Maurice Car’rie Vineyard and Winery is a fixture of the southern California wine country. When you visit over the weekend, often a line of cars is waiting to turn into the award winning winery to sample wine, visit the weekly arts and crafts fair, and enjoy the secret recipe baked Brie – courtesy of Maurice Van Roekel’s secret recipe.

Wi t h b e a u t i f u l , r o m a n t i c grounds, Maurice Car’rie is a likely stop for wine country visitors, but it is more than just the location that keeps people returning, especially for a quiet Sunday morning’s wine tasting, ahead of the crowd. When you come to Maurice Car’rie, expect to enjoy a full complement of estate wine, reasonably priced bottles, excellent and consistent flavors and more than just one tasting worth of fine wine.

According to winemaker Renato Sals Blanco, who has served at Maurice Car’rie for two years, the secret to creating the award winning wines is consistency.

“Since the moment I arrived, I just want to keep with the program,” he said. “They were already producing excellent wine. My goal has been to create a consistency in

Maurice Car’rie, one of Temecula’s oldest wineries, celebrates their 30th anniversary this year.

the wine. All of our workers take great pride in the vineyard, and what we produce here.”

The Maurice Car’rie estate is known mostly for their sweeter wines and the sparkling wines with unexpected fruit flavors will be an asset to any event. The Maurice’s Cuvee is a well-known local label and among the most purchased of the sparkling wines. Today, we sampled the Pineapple Champagne, with a bright, acidic pineapple flavor that sparkles the palate, to the blush pomegranate Champagne, with sweet fruit and a bit of pomegranate bite. Each would go well with a fruit and cheese platter, for your Easter table, or to savor over a sunset.

Wine Club members enjoy private events with the winemaker,

as well as a quiet tasting room experience, away from the crowds.

A tour through the vineyard with the winemaker led to a tasting of the as-yet unbottled 2014 Tempranillo. This young wine has much promise, with peppery overtones and leather on the nose. April will see the release of more new wines, including a pinot noir, one of, if not the first, grown in the region, according to Blanco.

The vast offering of the Maurice Car’rie tasting menu can satisfy any wine drinker. For the whites, visitors can enjoy the green apple, jasmine, honeysuckle and herb flavors in the estate grown sauvignon blanc. Their chardonnay greets with aromas of apricot blossoms, and can be enjoyed in the un-oak, or in the reserve chardonnay, which

enjoyed five months in toasted oak barrels for the more lingering vanilla and buttery finish. Viognier, Chenin Blanc, Gewürztraminer, riesling, and Moscato round out the whites, leading into Sara Bella, a blush wine, named after the Van Roekel’s granddaughter.

“Several of the wines are named for the four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren,” tasting room pourer Sherry Nichols said. Nichols, who has poured at Maurice Car’rie for over 20 years, offered her unique perspective on the wine and the family that is celebrating 30 years in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

“Definitely the best time to taste wine is Sunday mornings,” she said.

“Avoid the crowds and come early.”

Those sweet sparkling and dessert wines, with names such as Summers End, Papa’s Favorite Port and Sweet Shaylee Cream Sherry, and Papa’s Favorite Port is a nod to Budd Van Roekel, the one who started it all. In a Van Roekel family tradition, many wines are named for the grandchildren, Cody,

Sara, Heather and Summer, and their great grandchildren Shaylee, and Kai. With that family history, winemaker Blanco wanted to stay consistent with the wines that the Van Roekel family brought to the area, and be true to the dream For Blanco, the way to stay consistent is to be true to the varietals that are grown and harvested locally. What he’s doing is working as Maurice Car’rie and VR Estate wines are consistently winning Platinum, Gold, and Best of Class awards for Viognier, Gewurztraminer, Syrah and Serra Bella.

“This property, all of its 46 acres, are from the 1968 original planting of Vincenzo Cilurzo,” he said. “We are growing and bottling over 70 percent of the tonnage are estate produced. The remaining grapes are all Temecula Valley grapes. Keeping things local is important here.”

At Maurice Car’rie, making and sharing memories with the family is what matters most. No wine tasting experience at Maurice Car’rie winery would be complete without enjoying their signature sourdough baked Brie. Visitors can purchase pre-stuffed loaves to bake later, or order to enjoy after your wine tasting.

The round of sourdough bread is slathered with rich amounts of butter, garlic, and other secret spices known only to the Van Roekel family, and toasted to perfection, stuffed with melting Brie. Each loaf serves four to six people, and is best served piping hot, and enjoyed with a glass of your favorite Maurice Car’rie wine.

Those recognizable labels, depicting the windmill and the bucolic winery scene, or the elegant Van Roekel VR, are available at stores across Temecula Valley, or at the Maurice Car’rie winery.

Visit Maurice Car’rie in Temecula at 34225 Rancho California Road. or online at www.mauricecarriewinery.com.

Consistency is key, according to winemaker Renato Sals Blanco. Here, one worker steams out barrels from freshly tanked wine.

Van Avery Prep Science Olympiad advances to State Championships

Van Avery Prep’s Science Olympiad Team will compete at the state Championships held at Caltech April 2.

Bryce Chechile Valley News Intern Temecula Private school Van Avery Prep will be sending its Science Olympiad team to State

Championships at Caltech April 2. The advancement comes after the team medaled in 11 events at regionals Feb. 27, from Air Trajectory and Bottle Rockets to Fossils and Invasive Species.

The team is made up of 16 Van Avery Prep Students ranging in age from 11-14. Sixth-graders Rory Lane, Cade Moran, Ryan Spicer, Graham Weaver and Alex Yang; Seventh-graders Jacob Kocaya, Saad Nisar Max Norris, Nathan Rhee, Oliver Rodriguez and Nathan Smith; and eighth-graders Abigail Garcia, Declan Lane, Malika Neogi, Kishan Patel, and Matthew Son all put aside their age and grade differences to channel their love for the sciences.

But what Coach Kim Kocaya said is one the biggest challenges is finding a time when they can all meet. “One thing in common with all of them, is that they have very busy lives and participate in multiple activities. Since October, (when Science Olympiad really starts up) I have had to schedule Science Olympiad meetings around football, volleyball, baseball, basketball, music lessons,

drama club, debate and now soccer tryouts.”

With such busy schedules, making the most of whatever time they have whenever they have it is critical. The team meets for nearly an hour after school MondayThursday, in addition to six hours of practice at home a week. They study multiple disciplines within the science field, from physics and chemistry to anatomy and meteorology.

The team mentality the students share helps to combine their love for science with teamwork. “The aspect I love most about Science Olympiad is my teammates. I love being able to learn new things while having fun with other students I like and respect,” said sixth-grader Cade Moran.

Kocaya also recalls the time eighth grader Abigail Mitchell wore two different shoes to the invitational event before the regional

competition and the students, rather than make fun of her, promised they would wear mismatching shoes to school if she medaled at the regional competition. After Mitchell took home two medals, students were joined by teachers and the principal in wearing mismatched shoes to school.

Whether they win or lose at state championships, there is always a silver lining for the team, Kocaya said.

“The lessons they are learning and memories they are making along the way make it worth all of their time and effort,” he said.

“They also look forward to the short intervals between events when they challenge the other schools on the court in basketball.”

Temecula Luiseño Elementary School students create watercolor paintings

Third-graders in Mrs. Elaine Whaley’s class at Temecula Luiseño Elementary School created watercolor paintings using special paper and pencils purchased with a curriculum support grant from the Temecula Education Foundation. Showing off their in-process works are Tiana Esteban and Olivia Castillo.

Students in Mrs. Elaine Whaley’s third-grade class at Temecula Luiseño Elementary School recently created watercolor paintings using supplies purchased from a Temecula Education Foundation Grant. Pictured front to back, Dylan Nguyen, Emma Logan-Springer, Sydney Klecker and Alveena Jamil.

TEMECULA – About 50 budding artists at Temecula Luiseño Elementary School recently completed watercolor paintings using

materials purchased with funds provided by a curriculum support grant from the Temecula Education Foundation.

The grant allowed Elaine Whaley’s third-grade students to use special watercolor paper and pencils to learn perspective and experience multi-media painting.

Supplies also were shared with fellow TLES teacher Michael Denine and his classroom.

“Watercolors are often a child’s first painting experience. We think of them as inexpensive, easy-toclean-up paints,” Whaley said.

“Yet watercolors are difficult for younger children to control, especially on regular paper. Special watercolor pencils are a unique medium for creating art. They combine drawing with painting in a manner that no other medium can duplicate. Because the medium is enclosed inside a pencil that can be sharpened, the artist can create detailed and delicate marks that would be difficult to do with a brush.

“This is our first project. We used special watercolor pencils first, added black Sharpie outlines and,

in stages, completed the painting.

Students learned that watercolor pencils can be blended, and they learned to avoid over brushing.

We’re really happy with how their work turned out. Thank you, Temecula Education Foundation, for your support in giving my students this experience,” she added Since 2011, the Temecula Education Foundation awarded more than $100,000 to Temecula educators for classroom enrichment.

Foundation-sponsored grant applications for enrichment activities focusing on visual arts, performing arts, and sciences are available annually to educators in all Temecula Valley Unified School District schools.

TEF Director and Taste of Temecula Valley Chairman Mark Katan said, “We are proud to support educators whose passion and creativity make a difference in the classroom.

This is the fifth year our foundation has been able to fund grants. We wish we could fund all requests,

but our dollars are limited. Community events – like the sixth annual Taste of Temecula Valley April 29-30 and summer school enrichment classes, as well as donations from foundation partners and sponsors, enable us to provide funds to enhance the curriculum for students. We thank the community for its ongoing support.”

The Temecula Education Foundation is the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit directly supporting students in Grades K-12 in the TVUSD. Sponsored by TEF in collaboration with the City of Temecula, the sixth annual Taste of Temecula Valley is a community event designed to raise funds to support the arts and other curriculum for TVUSD students in Grades K-12. TOTV events on Friday, April 29 and Saturday, April 30, will be held in Town Square Park, in front of the Temecula Civic Center, 41000 Main St., Old Town Temecula. See www.temeculaeducationfoundation.org for more info.

TEF, Brandman University to produce video series TEMECULA – The Temecula Education Foundation, the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supporting almost 30,000 students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, has partnered with Brandman University to produce a video series about the foundation’s work.

Formerly the Temecula Valley Foundation for Excellence in Education, the nonprofit is best known for its teacher grants and enrichment classes for students in Grades K-12 in the Temecula Valley Unified School District. For the past six years, the foundation also has sponsored the Taste of Temecula Valley, a community taste event featuring food, beverage and

specialty vendors from throughout the area. TOTV will be April 29-30 in Old Town Temecula.

“Our board believes that students actively engaged in enrichment opportunities, like those provided by TEF, are more successful. Involvement in the visual and performing arts has been associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking and verbal skills,” said Jeff McNurlan, foundation vice president. “Arts learning also can improve motivation, concentration, confidence and teamwork.

We are thrilled that Brandman University shares our vision and wants to help promote our mission.”

Produced by Peter Schlemmer Productions, whose namesake is

a TVUSD graduate, parent and award-winning videographer, TEF videos will feature testimonials from foundation supporters, including members of the business community, parents, students and teachers. Since 2010, approximately 1,400 high school students have completed TEF-sponsored accelerated summer enrichment classes.

Over the past five years, TEF has awarded more than $100,000 in grants to TVUSD teachers for curriculum support in the visual and performing arts and sciences.

Earlier this year, TEF launched a pilot music program for fourth and fifth-grade students at Vintage Hills Elementary School and, in the future, hopes to offer similar

classes at other sites.

“Brandman is accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission. As part of the Chapman University System, Brandman University’s mission is to provide students with a dynamic education based on excellence and flexibility that creates lasting value and relevance for evolving careers,” said Nicole Farnum, manager, community and corporate relations.

“As a post-secondary institution, Brandman University is pleased to support the work of the Temecula Education Foundation. Like TEF, we believe our innovative programs can inspire and motivate students of all ages to reach their

goals. This partnership is a great way for us to spotlight Brandman’s Menifee campus, which is conveniently located for working adults in this area who may be considering completing or starting a degree program,” she added.

The first video in the TEFBrandman University series debuted on March 1 and can be found on both TEF and Brandman University websites and social media platforms.

How to win people over Pastor Zachary Elliot Faith Columnist Have you ever wondered what to do with really difficult people?

You know the people who are constantly in a bad mood are impossible to cheer up and seem to suck the life right out of you.

If you haven’t encountered these people yet I would guess you will before too long. Chances are you might even be that person a time or two in your life. It’s inevitable! So we better learn how to help the relationship move into a better place.

I find that one of the greatest weapons in our arsenal is a smile.

Yes, that’s right showing your pearly whites can make all the difference in the world. You might be surprised to know that the Bible

even tells us to smile when it says “A cheerful look brings joy to the heart.” (Proverbs 15:30) It’s a funny thing, the smile, because grumpy people don’t know what to do with it. A smile is the first strategy for winning difficult people over and that leads us to do the next best thing, which has to do with the tone of our voice.

Now this might surprise you but the Bible doesn’t just teach us to smile it also teaches us about the tone of our voice when dealing with difficult people. It says in Proverbs 15:1 “A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.”

I’m sure you can remember a time or two when you responded with anger only to make the situation worse. I know I can. Too

Schroeder both received their Bachelor of Science in Nursing.

Tiana Youssi received her Master of Arts in Teaching in Social Science (5-12).

All 10 students are from Temecula.

Faith many times I’ve looked back on situations and relationships only to realize I didn’t handle it well at all.

I forgot the power of a simple smile followed up by a gentle answer.

Don’t make the same mistake.

Relationships are part of life therefore make them great. Smile at people and speak to them with kindness. If you do this you will always have friends and you will win some of the difficult ones over in the process.

Southwestern League Spring baseball 2016 preview

JP Raineri Sports Editor The winter sports season is finally coming to a close and spring teams are getting ready to compete and hopefully repeat on their school’s successes or make up for other disappointing seasons. For baseball teams in the Southwestern League, a league that plays in Division II in the Southern Section of the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF-SS) and is located here in Southwest Riverside County, this season is one that requires a lot of proving.

What is there to prove? For starters, the Southwestern League had the top MaxPreps ranking in the toughest leagues list in 2014, but in 2015 not a single team, of the top three that moved on to the post season, made it past round one in the CIF-SS playoffs.

Temecula Valley, who has been the most successful program to date, has made four CIF Championship runs, 1992, 2005 and back-to-back appearances in 2013 and 2014, where they finally won it all, edging out Aliso Niguel 5-3 in that 2014 Championship game at Dodger Stadium.

As for being crowned Southwestern League champs, the Golden Bears also lead in that category, winning league in 2009, 2012 and 2013, but can new head coach Daniel Franklin find the same success, replacing the most successful coach in Temecula Valley history, Tony Nobiensky (now at Rancho Christian)? Only time will tell.

Vista Murrieta has earned the crown twice, winning in 2011 and are the current defending SWL champs. Great Oak dominated in 2014 and Murrieta Valley added their name to the list in 2010.

This season presents a new contender in Murrieta Mesa, currently third in the standings, who have already put 42 runs on the board in their first six games, 10 more runs than their first place counterparts, Vista Murrieta, who are out in front with a 6-1 record. Great Oak has also seen much success in the preseason, coming in right behind the Broncos with a 5-1 record.

Hitting is key in order to score runs for the wins, but the defense must defend their ace and with so many arms in the SWL like Great Oak’s Zach Noll (University of Oregon commit), Murrieta Mesa’s Nate Stillinovich (two no-hitters in preseason play so far) and Zac Filos (0.78 ERA) as well as Vista Murrieta’s Brandon Ross (0.70 ERA) and Temecula Valley’s Casey Nimmo (no-hitter versus West Valley), there is no telling who is going to win this season’s shootout at the SWL corral.

League games begin this week with the openers taking place at Lake Elsinore’s Diamond Stadium.

Murrieta Mesa and Murrieta Valley will kick things off at 2 p.m., Great Oak and Vista Murrieta will face off at 4:45 p.m. and Temecula Valley and Chaparral will cap off the night with a 7 p.m. start time.

With so much excitement mounting, the proof will most certainly be in the pudding right now.

their 2015 season, where they fell to Serra High School in the semis, 71-56, the Broncos hoped they would get the chance to exact their revenge this season. They finally got their chance, and Vista earned what was arguably their most satisfying win of the season, downing the Cavaliers 69-66 in the second round of this year’s State Playoffs.

Led by two 20-plus point performances from Nasrin Ulel and Brittney Reed, the Broncos, now 29-4, were able to barely outlast Serra in the final minutes.

MURRIETA – Murrieta Valley Unified School District announced last week that Justin Schaeffer is stepping down as Murrieta Mesa High School’s head football coach, a position he has held since the school opened in 2009.

“It is with a heavy heart that I will be departing from Murrieta Mesa High School this spring,” Schaeffer said. “A chance to move my children, my wife and I closer to our immediate family presented itself and I have accepted the head football coaching position in Fountain Valley. It has been my professional life’s greatest privilege to have had the opportunity to be on the inaugural Murrieta Mesa teaching staff and to have served as their

first head football coach.”

Murrieta Mesa Principal Steve Ellis said, “Justin has been an integral part of Mesa from the day we opened the doors for business.

I am extremely grateful for his tireless effort and commitment to his players and the entire school.

Justin is leaving a program that just had their best season ever in the Southwestern League and they are clearly headed in the right direction. I completely understand his reasons for making this change and I support his decision. I wish him nothing but success at his new position.”

They took fourth place in the Southwestern League, a school record. For the first time in the

program’s history, they had a 1st Team All-Southwestern League Quarterback (Senior Peyton Uhl) and a 1st Team All-Southwestern League Linebacker (Senior Blake Johnson.)

In addition, senior Nathan Smith received a full scholarship to play for the USC Trojans, another first for the RAMS program.

The district’s Assistant Superintendent of Human Recourses Darren Daniel said, “We expect to see a highly competitive pool of candidates for this exciting opportunity.” For more information, contact Murrieta Mesa Athletic Director John Broussard at (951) 677-0568 ext. 6439.

The Rancho Christian Eagles (22-11) can’t be stopped. They’re on a 10-game winning streak, six of which have come in the playoffs.

Led by a balanced scoring attack that saw them shoot 45 percent on the night, the Eagles soared past Renaissance Academy for a 72-51 victory.

Rancho jumped ahead early and never looked back. After outscoring the Wildcats 19-15 in the first quarter, the Eagles would then erupt for 23 points in the second quarter, sending them into the halftime break with a 42-24 lead.

Things looked no different in the second half as they outscored Renaissance 20-8 in the third quarter, setting themselves up for a comfortable fourth quarter, and the easy win.

Jamal Brower led all scorers with 20 points, adding two rebounds, four assists and two steals to his game totals. He was one of four Eagles who finished the night in double figures, with Trace Redfield (16 points, 5 assists, 3 steals), Owen Chidester (11 points) and Greg Walter (10 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 steals) rounding out the group.

The Eagles hosted Saddleback Valley Christian (21-12) in the Regional Semifinals Tuesday, March 15, at 7 p.m. The winners advance to the Regional Finals, where they will face the winner of the St. Bernard (17-16) and St. Joseph (31-3) game Saturday.

Boys Basketball: TVHS downed in State Tournament by J.W. North, 81-57 Dean Fioresi Sportswriter The best basketball season in Temecula Valley Golden Bear history came to an abrupt end over the weekend, as the boys basketball team fell to J.W. North in the second-round of Division II State Championship play.

The Golden Bears couldn’t overcome an onslaught of offense from the Huskies who now advance to the quarterfinals against Orange Lutheran.

TV’s team captains Riley Schaefer and Scott Hollingsworth finished off their final high school game much as they had throughout the last four years, ending the night with 21 combined points. Bryce Denham finished the night off with a team-high 12 points.

Despite the disappointing end to their season, the Golden Bears set a school record for most wins in a season, finishing the year with a 29-6 record.

How families can get up and go for fun and health TEMECULA – Families often look for fun things to do together, and few things are more fun than physical activity. Choosing activities that combine fun with physical activity is a great way to bond as a family and get healthy at the same time.

According to Let’s Move!, an initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama to fight the problem of childhood obesity, children need 60 minutes of play with moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. Parents know it can sometimes be hard to get children to disconnect from their devices long enough to get out and play.

But Let’s Move! notes that children who are supported by their families or surrounded by others interested in physical activity are more likely to participate in such activities themselves. Families looking to get fit and grow closer can consider the following approaches to live healthier, more active lifestyles.

Give gifts that encourage activity. Both youngsters and adults are enamored with the latest gadgets, but tablets and video game consoles won’t do much to make families more physically active. In lieu of toys that promote sedentary lifestyles, give children toys that encourage physical activity. Erect a

basketball hoop in the driveway or go buy new bicycles for the whole family, resolving to go for a nightly ride together.

Restrict TV time. Establish house rules regarding how many hours of

television children and adults can watch each day. Children will follow their parents’ lead with regard to how much television they watch, so parents should be mindful of their own viewing habits, resisting

the temptation to plop down on the couch for several hours each night.

Don’t turn on the television at night until the whole family has engaged in some physical activity.

Walk or ride bikes to run errands.

When running errands in town, take the children along and walks or ride bicycles rather than drive.

This is a great time for families to catch up, and walking or riding a bicycle is great exercise for adults and children alike.

Schedule physical activities for the weekends. When planning weekends, parents can schedule a physical activity for the whole family. Make time to go hiking at a nearby park or schedule a family basketball game in the driveway. Such activities are healthy, and they don’t have to cost a lot money, either.

Volunteer as a family. Another way to get up and go as a family is to work with a local nonprofit or charitable organization. Sign the family up for monthly park or beach cleanup projects that get the family out of the house and moving. Or sign the family up to work at a local soup kitchen where children can learn the value of helping others while staying on their feet.

Let children plan activities. One great way to get children excited about an active lifestyle is to let them plan family activities. Children who are encouraged to come up with activities, whether it’s visiting the zoo or going kayaking as a family, are more likely to embrace those activities.

How to bake healthier treats Baking can be a relaxing and rewarding pastime that parents can share with their children. Baking promotes a variety of skills, including the ability to follow instructions and make measurements.

Baking also employs mathematics, making baking a rather delicious

science experiment. Perhaps one of the few pitfalls of baking is indulging in too many sweet treats when taste testing and then enjoying the fruits of your labors.

But bakers concerned about their health can substitute healthy ingredients when recipes call for foods

bakers would prefer to avoid. The following ingredients can make healthy additions to baked-good recipes without sacrificing flavor.

Whole wheat flour: Flour is at the heart of many baking recipes, including those for cakes, cookies and pies. Refined white flour may not be the healthiest ingredient, so try whole wheat flour, which is full of nutrients and an extra dose of fiber. Fiber can help lower the risk for heart disease and diabetes.

Try slightly less than one cup of whole wheat flour for regular flour as a swap if a recipe calls for one cup of flour.

Fruit puree: When a recipe calls for oil, margarine, butter or shortening, consider replacing such ingredients with fruit purees, which often add moisture and texture just as well but without the same amount of calories. Applesauce and prunes can be helpful in chocolate dishes. Pumpkin or sweet potato are other purees that can add a nutritional boost as well.

Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a powerhouse of protein and flavor with relatively few calories per serving. It can make a super substitution in recipes for things like sour cream, buttermilk or even cream cheese.

Applesauce: Believe it or not, unsweetened applesauce also can replace some or all of the sugar in a recipe. When doing a 1:1 ratio swap, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by one quarter cup.

Marshmallow or meringue:

Ever check the nutritional information for many store-bought cake frostings? They pack a considerable amount of calories, sugar and fat. Some also are made with hydrogenated oils. Consider using a Marshmallow Fluff or homemade meringue to top cupcakes or decorate cookies.

Stevia: Stevia is an herbal plant that grows primarily in South America. Stevia has a long history as a sweetener in that area, and now has become a popular sugar substitute elsewhere. Stevia is an all-natural, no-calorie, nocarbohydrate sweetener. The Food and Drug Administration approved only the purified form of stevia, called stevioside. Remember to check each brand’s sugar-to-stevia

ratio to make sure you get the right measurements for your recipe.

Egg whites: Replace a whole egg in a recipe with two egg whites or one quarter cup of egg substitute.

Chocolate nibs: Nibs are processed morsels that do not have the same amount of added sugar as many chocolate chips. Dark chocolate nibs can provide a healthy dose of antioxidants as well.

Evaporated skim milk: Try evaporated skim milk in place of heavy cream to make whipped cream for a low-fat option.

Baking brings family together, and the treats prepare can make an enjoyable finale to a great meal.

With healthy substitutions, any recipe can be altered for the better.

Health THINKING ABOUT HEALTH

High Deductibles May Mean Lower Premiums but a Costly Trade-Off Trudy Lieberman Rural Health News Service

break down. “Where is all this going to end?” she asked.

Judy is one of the growing numbers of Americans who are underinsured, meaning according to one definition, those who spend 10 percent or more of their income on health care costs excluding premiums. That means they are spending money for coverage that might not help them. The financial squeeze is not going to end any time soon not only for those like Judy who bought an “Obamacare” policy through a state exchange but also for people who have chosen policies outside the exchanges and for workers who get employer-sponsored coverage.

How high deductibles can go is, of course, up to your employer or insurer. This year, policies offered through the exchanges created by “Obamacare” can require families to pay as much as $13,200 out of pocket. That includes deductibles but also copays and coinsurance, a percentage of the bill.

HealthPocket, a website that tracks insurance costs, says this year the average deductible for bronze policies generally the cheapest sold in the exchanges is $5,181 for individuals and $10,545

A few weeks ago I got an e mail from Judy, a reader who wanted to tell me about trouble she’s had paying her medical bills, particularly those for prescription drugs.

Severe daily headaches had just qualified her for Social Security disability benefits. After she satisfies a two-year waiting period, which the law requires, she will qualify for Medicare as all people on Social Security disability will do whether or not they are age 65.

Judy couldn’t wait so she looked for other insurance options.

Her monthly income of about $1,300 is too high for Medicaid benefits. “I’m $20 over the income guidelines,” she told me. So she turned to an Affordable Care Act policy with a low premium but a $6,500 deductible.

That deductible pinches financially. Until she reaches the $6,500 annual limit, she pays out of pocket for her medicines and other health care needs while juggling the rent, utility payments, car expenses, insurance premiums, fuel and food bills and praying her car doesn’t

umbrella. The crisis of uninsurance is being replaced by a new crisis of underinsurance, says Jonathan Oberlander, a health policy expert at the University of North Carolina.

The theory behind those high deductibles is to make people think twice before going to the doctor and thus to save money for the whole health care system. In other words, if patients now assume more of the cost burden, fewer of them will actually use medical services.

The Commonwealth Fund study shows that’s true: Patients are skipping care.

But we don’t know yet whether that’s causing a significant, sustainable drop in the national health care tab. Medical inflation has slowed somewhat, but no one is certain the trend is permanent.

I asked Sara Collins, a vice president of The Commonwealth Fund, about the effectiveness of controlling costs through high deductibles.

She said it doesn’t address the biggest reasons for them. Those “are driven by very sick people and that suggests something more

for families. Average deductibles for silver plans were about $3,000 for individuals and $6,000 for families. Any way you look at it, those are pretty hefty amounts for low and moderate-income families.

High deductibles come at a high cost. A new report from The Commonwealth Fund, the funder of Rural Health News Service, shows that people suffer both financial and health consequences. The report said that almost half of those who were underinsured had trouble paying medical bills or had medical debt that ate up all their savings.

One-third with medical bills took on credit card debt to pay them.

When the survey asked underinsured respondents if they skipped getting care ---like going to the doctor, shrugging off a recommended test or treatment, or not filling a prescription because of costs--about 45 percent said yes. When researchers specifically asked those with deductibles of $3,000 or more if they got care, again about 45 percent said they didn’t.

These findings run counter to a major goal of the Affordable Care Act, which was to bring more Americans under the insurance

Long-term care educator Brian Allred joins the 3in4 Association found online at www.longtermcare. gov.

In spite of the widespread and growing need for long term care planning, a fraction of those who could benefit from a plan have taken action, Mr. Allred seeks to make the public aware of the high odds of requiring extended care and the imperative to plan in advance.

For more information, contact Allred at (951) 901-0866.

MURRIETA – Brian Allred, a long-term care educator, recently announced his commitment to long-term care education by joining the 3in4 Association www.3in4needmore.com and its public service address “3in4 Need More.”

With this slogan, the group seeks to educate the public on an important fact: that at least 70 percent – roughly three out four people over age 65 will require some long-term care services at some point in their lives, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

fundamental,” she explained.

Are employers and insurers going to sell policies with everincreasing deductibles when we know people respond in ways that don’t help them stay healthy or get better care when they are sick? Or are we going to get serious about pushing back against the power of the big insurers, drug companies and hospitals, which like things just the way they are?

“What does it take to get affordable medications,” Judy asked me.

That’s the question policymakers must answer.

We’d like to hear about your experiences with high deductible insurance. Write to Trudy at trudy. lieberman@gmail.com.
