A small, single-engine, low-wing private aircraft made an emergency landing onto northbound Interstate 15 in Fallbrook Saturday, April 2, killing a woman and injuring five other people.

The crash occurred at approximately 9:15 a.m. on the freeway just north of State Route 76, forcing the California Highway Patrol to keep a Sig Alert in effect until about 5:15 p.m.

The pilot of the aircraft, identified by a CHP spokesman as Dennis Hogge, 62, of Jamul, attempted to make an emergency landing in the number four lane of the northbound side of the freeway, but struck a vehicle in the process. The downed plane ended up on the right side of the roadway, in the number three and four lanes of traffic.

“I truly believe that the 3rd District is a regional leader,” Washington said at the beginning of the summit. “Our collective strengths as a community make us such a dynamic economic and tourist destination in Riverside County.

“We are here for the 3rd District.

We are here to see that the 3rd District survives… to grow our economy and thrive,” he continued.

Anza drug bust has regional implications How to Secure the Best Financing Rates When Buying a Home A report has just been released which identifies a foolproof 3-point plan which any homebuyer can use to secure the best financing rates when they buy a home. When you’re looking to buy a home, the first thing most homebuyers do is start the process of house hunting.

However, experience proves that this is one of the last steps you should be taking if you want to get the most home for the least amount of money. In fact, shopping for the best financing should start long before you start

More than 15,000 marijuana plants were confiscated and entered into evidence by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department last week following a massive drug enforcement sweep in Anza that was part of a joint Kim Harris photo effort with a Joint Task Force Team out of San Diego.

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

A major multiagency drug bust in Anza last week resulted in multiple arrests and thousands of marijuana plants being confiscated from the illegal grows that were shut down, according to law enforcement officials.

The move is part of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s efforts to curb the ongoing problem of illegal grows in Anza Valley and the surrounding areas.

The bust began in the early morning hours Wednesday, March 30, when officers from Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, in a joint operation with a Joint Task Force Team out of San Diego, began to swarm the area in what was called a massive drug enforcement sweep of illegal grows in Anza and the surrounding communities.

Six illegal grows were shut down between Wednesday and Friday as deputies confiscated 15,301 marijuana plants that were taken into evidence. At $200 to $1,000 a pound in street value, the plants confiscated were worth somewhere between $15.3 and $76.5 million depending on the quality of the plants.

Seven people were arrested as a result of the investigations, Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Paul Bennet told Valley News in an exclusive interview Friday, April 1, following the busts. Bennet heads up the department’s Marijuana Enforcement Team.

“Between March 30 and April 1 we hit a total of six massive grow operations,” he said. “All of them were related. A total of seven people were arrested, two of which were females.”

Bennett said the plants varied in size from fully mature to nonbudding plants at the six different locations.

“They were in various stages of cultivation,” he said. “Some were prepared to be harvested, some were still growing.”

Many marijuana growers have selected non-populated areas such as Anza and Aguanga to operate in order to avoid detection from law enforcement, something that concerns residents greatly.

Resident’s concerns While the busts made a dent in the illegal grows in Anza, there is still much left to be done in the area which has seen more than its fair share of illegal grows in recent years according to Diane Sieker, one of the founding members of Anza Crime Watch. Anza Crime Watch is a Facebook community page that allows for residents to alert one another to criminal activity in the area. According to Sieker, there are numerous problems related to the illegal marijuana growing activity.

“I’m hearing of a lot of water and electric theft. I’m hearing concerns from residents for all these bootleg wells being punched in and potentially lowering the water table,” she said. “I am hearing that people are concerned when they go for a ride on their horses and they look over and they see men with weapons watching them from the pot grows.”

Sieker says she has no problem with legal grows for medicinal purposes, but many people feel threatened for their lives and are worried about the illegal growers.

Other residents who wished to remain anonymous due to fears of backlash by illegal growers, support Sieker’s claims.

“I have no problem with legal

grows for medicinal use, but I do have a problem with the illegal grows,” said one Aguanga resident.

“Two grows have started by me recently, the first one about October and the second one is only about 30 feet from my property line.”

The resident said both parties with grows are made up of four to five men, with only one man around during the daytime hours, usually in hiding, while the rest show up at night.

“A van stays at one during the day and a motor home at the other.

Greenhouses went up overnight. I am afraid to let my kids and grandkids out on our own property,” she said. “I don’t know if they have criminal records or are sex offenders. Since they are only here at night are they trespassing or casing my house?”

One longtime Anza resident said that she too has no problem with the legal grows but the illegal grows have to stop.

“If your following the laws and it’s not an eyesore and noisy and a nuisance, it’s fine,” she said. “These cartel types that are taking our valley over have got to stop. This town, which was once the cat’s meow has become the dog’s butt. No offense to dogs. (Marijuana grows) need to be inspected by code enforcement on a regular basis. You shouldn’t be allowed to put up a 99 plant farm near a private residence. They are lit up all night long, the generators and fans running all night and the traffic increases.”

Another Anza resident said that there are two grows located right next to her property.

“One of the grows just brought in water for the holding tanks. I had to build a dog kennel for my pup’s safety in case there was a “shoot-em-up” at harvest time,” the resident said, adding that she verified the grows’ illegal status through code enforcement. “I … have nothing against personal grows but non-residents, living in trailers, and leaving the properties a mess after harvest is a blight on our community.”

One fairly new resident of Anza said she is frustrated that all of the property around hers is being developed into greenhouses by “out of towners,” who don’t care about the community and are just looking at turning a profit.

“They bring a negative culture to the area,” she said. “We live in a remote area and are literally surrounded by vacant lots that are building up greenhouses. It stinks, literally!”

This resident said she lives near others who grow marijuana for their personal use and has no problem with them.

“My real issue is with the forprofit out of towners. I feel unsafe with what they may bring to the area and that they no doubt are selling to kids,” she said. “Their irresponsibility taints what others are trying to do by using for medicinal purposes.”

If residents believe they have been threatened, or in danger, they should contact their local law enforcement agency, Bennett said.

What constitutes a legal grow?

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration still views marijuana as a Schedule 1 narcotic, prohibited under the federal Controlled Substances Act but under the California Compassionate Use Act of 1996, also known as Proposition 215, the possession and cultivation of marijuana for medicinal purposes is legal. However, localities can regulate the conditions under which grows occur, where they

occur and the responsibilities of the parties involved, according to statutes passed by the Legislature and signed into law in 2004 and in 2010.

The measures lie at the core of the Medical Marijuana Program and have been upheld in two appellate court decisions, one of which stemmed from a challenge to a city of Riverside ordinance outlawing storefront and mobile marijuana dispensaries. That culminated in a 2013 California Supreme Court ruling in favor of the city.

In 2015, The Riverside County Board of Supervisors updated Ordinance 925, which specifies under what conditions marijuana may be grown and the consequences of noncompliance, a patient will be entitled to have 12 cannabis plants on his or her property; two patients on the same parcel will bring the total to 24 plants, but that will be the maximum. At least one patient or a registered caregiver must live on the premises, marijuana must be secured to prevent access by minors, properties within 1,000 feet of schools, parks and day care centers are prohibited from growing medical marijuana, grows in apartment buildings are prohibited, renters must obtain permission from their landlords before growing medicinal pot, a grow cannot be closer than 10 feet from a roadway or neighboring property and must not be visible from a public right of way. However, this does not apply to properties that are five or more acres in size, there must be fencing at least 6 feet high erected for concealment and security. Convicted felons, parolees or probationers cannot reside on the parcel unless they have a court order expressly allowing them to grow and use medical cannabis.

Violators will be subject to civil fines and penalties of up to $1,000 a day, as well as misdemeanor charges. Unpaid fines could result in county tax liens on properties the ordinance says. Sheriff’s deputies and code enforcement officers are responsible for enforcing the ordinance.

A three bill package recently signed into law by governor Jerry Brown governs how and who will legally be permitted to cultivate marijuana. Assembly Bill 243 contains provisions related to medical marijuana cultivation and environmental provisions. Assembly Bill 266 allows local counties and cities to create ordinances to prohibit or restrict marijuana grows. Senate Bill 643 provides Regulatory provisions and a county taxing authority. SB-643 also creates a Bureau of Medical Marijuana regulation within the Department of Consumer Affairs as to medical board regulations.

Enforcement In a prepared statement, Bennett said there really is no way to determine the number of legal grows in the area which is why law enforcement must conduct a complete investigation to determine of the grower is operating within the confines of the laws.

“Contrary to drug traffickers’ claims, California law does not allow the growth or sale of marijuana for profit,” Bennett wrote in the statement. “State law is very specific, California has decriminalized the growth and use of marijuana only for seriously ill individuals with a doctor’s prescription and only in small amounts reasonably necessary to accommodate an individual’s medical condition.”

CRASH from page A-1 was a four-door Nissan sedan,” said North County Fire Public Information Officer John Buchanan.

“The driver had pulled over on the (east) shoulder of the freeway and the occupants were trying to sync their phone to a wireless device.”

“The plane landed, hopped, and skipped before striking the rear, right side of the vehicle,” said Buchanan. It was noted by authorities later that the plane had skidded 250 feet before hitting the vehicle.

“The impact caused the trunk area of the vehicle to be pushed up into the passenger area, killing the passenger riding in the rear, right-side passenger seat,” said Buchanan.

The fatally injured female passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, Buchanan said. She was later identified as Antoinette Isbelle, 38, of San Diego.

The five people injured included the pilot, Hogge, who sustained life-threatening head injuries; his passenger – a woman in her 50s, with non-life-threatening injuries who underwent surgery shortly after arriving at the hospital – the

Members of the FAA begin their investigation of a private plane and vehicle involved accident on northbound I-15 just north of Hwy 76 Highway 76 Saturday, April 2.

42-year-old male driver of the Nissan, and two passengers in the sedan, a 45-year-old male and a 36-year-old female, both with nonlife-threatening injuries.

Firefighters were able to contain a fuel leak before it caught fire since they arrived on scene from their station located less than a mile from the crash, Buchanan said.

The incident brought a flood of 911 calls to CHP emergency

public affairs manager of the FAA’s Pacific Division.

A large number of people witnessed the crash, Buchanan said.

Many of them reported not hearing anything that would indicate engine trouble, but said the way the plane was banking to the east, then to the west before hitting the ground indicated it was in some kind of trouble.

The plane was a Lancair IV, which is a homebuilt propjet air-

communications dispatchers from motorists and witnesses who saw the aircraft emergency.

“It’s amazing that there weren’t more injuries,” Buchanan said.

Federal Aviation Administration officials told first responders not to move the plane until they arrived to begin their investigation. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NASB) are conducting the investigation, said Ian Gregor,

craft with retracting landing gear that seats four including the pilot.

Production ceased on the model in 2012. It appeared from the crash scene that the landing gear had not been deployed, according to an official.

New Arts Council brings Art Walk to Murrieta Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Arts are an important part of any community, and it was this knowledge that led Jessica Large to organize the Murrieta Arts Council, a nonprofit dedicated to enhancing arts and culture in the area.

“Basically it came out of a conversation I had with somebody,” she said. “We started talking about how Murrieta lacks art and culture.

There literally is no art and no culture in Murrieta.”

Large, who serves as the president and CEO, said that she goes to San Diego and over to Los Angeles for their art walks.

“We were talking about how silly it is that residents of Murrieta have to leave every weekend to go get some culture,” Large said, adding that she decided to take the reins of the project and run with it. The group filed the paperwork for the Arts Council with the state Jan. 16.

“As we filed and started telling people we had formed and established this arts council we started hearing about other people who had been making their rounds in their community with rumblings about why there wasn’t an arts council,” she said.

According to Large, who owns an electrical company in town with her husband, many people were turning toward the city to establish an arts council, but she thought it would be better for the citizens to organize it.

“We all have that passion and we all desire that same thing and so that is how it organically came together,” she said.

The group of five, which includes Large, Casey Jurado, Brandy Foote, Michael Valentine and Peter Thorwarth formerly of Menifee Arts Council, meets weekly in Old Town Murrieta. They are currently looking for more members to join the governing board.

“It is our goal to have a community forum on the arts and out of that forum we hope to extract more people,” she said. “There is no reason to rush into it.”

Large said the board’s terms will expire in January 2017 after which

they will move to nomination to elect those in charge of the council.

“We have been evolving every week,” she said. “our business model is that we will sponsor and host a few events each year.”

On tap for this year is an Arts Walk, possibly monthly depending on demand, a larger scale art and music festival, possibly the weekend after the Shamrock Festival, A community Forum scheduled for June 14 and other events focusing on the arts. Large said the goal beyond the few “signature events” each year is to support and partner with local arts organizations to bring art and culture out in the open for all valley residents.

“Ultimate goals are a performing arts center and galleries,” she said.

The first Art Walk is scheduled for Thursday, April 28, from 4-10 p.m. at several locations near Washington Avenue and Juniper

Street in downtown Murrieta. The free event will showcase up to 40 artists displaying their artwork, local musicians and a food truck.

Merchants in Old Town Murrieta will be participating as well.

Currently the group is signing up musicians for the event.

According to press release issued by the group, music adds a nice touch to any arts event so there will be three or four performance areas, only one will have electricity so ideal performances are acoustic artists. Volunteers are also needed for this and other upcoming events.

“It takes a community,” Large said. “That’s why we hope to have a forum on the arts.”

People who choose to grow in excess of the limits are not exempt from criminal investigation or prosecution, even if they have a doctor’s recommendation for marijuana, the statement reported.

“All marijuana grows that exceed 24 total plants are in violation of the law, either Riverside County Ordinance 925, or California Health and Safety code 11360, which governs the transportation, importation and sales of marijuana,” the statement reads.

Bottom line…law enforcement will continue to investigate marijuana grows believed to be in violation of state law and Riverside County Code Enforcement will investigate violations of the county ordinance.

“The Riverside County Sheriff’s

Department will assist County Code Enforcement to provide security during their inspection of properties believed to be in violation of Riverside County Ordinance 925,” Bennett’s statement read.

Contacting law enforcement Residents wishing to report a crime can contact the Marijuana Enforcement Team by calling (951) 955-1712 or by going online to www.riversidesheriff.org/ crimetips/ and filling out the form.

Those reporting crimes can remain anonymous.

“Not only are we aware of it, we are aggressively investigating every report of illegal marijuana grows and we will use all legal means necessary to irradiate the illegal marijuana grows,” Bennett said.

campaign is called Operation Inherent Resolve.

Cardin, a 2006 graduate of Chaparral High School, joined the Marines in June 2006.

“Louis Cardin put his country first,” said Mayor Mike Nagger.

Cardin was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Cardin served three tours in Afghanistan and was recently deployed to the Makmour base outside Mosul, Iraq, a city held by the Islamic State group. Cardin was “providing force protection fire support at a recently established coalition fire base,” said a statement by Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook.

Cardin had previously been awarded the Presidential Unit Citation, three Afghanistan Campaign medals, an Iraq Campaign Medal and three Sea Service Deployment ribbons.

President Obama – on a historic trip to Cuba – addressed the media on the loss of Cardin, “During this weekend, I received news that one of our outstanding United States Armed Services members, Marine Staff Sergeant Louis F. Cardin of Temecula, California was killed in northern Iraq, as we assisted the Iraqi government in dealing with ISIS, the terrorist organization there. And I just wanted to give my thoughts and prayers to the family as we embark on this historic visit, there are U.S. armed service members who are sacrificing each and every day on behalf of our freedom and safety. So I am

grateful to them.”

The 4th Reconnaissance Battalion Color Guard presented the Colors. Sgt. Ixcehi Perez of the 1st Marine Division Band sang the National Anthem.

Temecula City Manager Aaron Adams welcomed the crowd and then introduced the dignitaries who gave Words of Tribute to the family for Cardin’s ultimate sacrifice. Congressman Ken Calvert, Senator Jeff Stone, Assemblywoman Marie Waldron, Supervisor Chuck Washington, Mayor Mike Naggar and Manny Toledo, a representative for the family, all spoke expressing their sorrow, thankfulness and inspiration.

The public was then invited to honor Cardin with silence and reflection as they passed by his closed casket. Fellow Marines performed a “Crossed Cannons” ceremony – an artillery tradition – in which members of the artillery hammer their crossed cannons insignia into the exterior of the casket. A steady procession honored the fallen hero in the closed casket public viewing.

In a Reuters report April 3, Coalition spokesman U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren stated

that anti-ISIS coalition drone airstrikes killed the top militant responsible for Cardin’s death.

ISIS fighter Jasim Khadijah, a former Iraqi officer, was a “rocket expert” who “controlled these attacks.” Five other ISIS fighters were also killed and two vehicles destroyed.

Cardin was buried at Riverside National Cemetery in a private ceremony.

The City of Temecula is raising funds for a memorial for Marine Staff Sergeant Louis Cardin. They will “work in conjunction with the Veterans of Foreign Wars to fund, design and construct an appropriate memorial in a suitable park location in the City of Temecula.”

Their target is to have the memorial built by the end of summer 2016 at either the Temecula Duck Pond or Veteran’s Park. Donations may be made to Temecula Valley VFW Post 4089, SSgt Louis Cardin Memorial Fund, 28075 Diaz Road, Temecula, CA 92590, (951) 676-1541.

Mini hot rods bring joy to children Bryce Chechile VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Sergio Prado has a successful business creating the interiors of hot rods. By looking at him or his career, most people wouldn’t guess that he makes hot rods on a much smaller scale. Sergio has been designing miniaturized hot rods for children to sit, steer, and play in for 10 years.

Although both of his sons are now in their 20s, Prado still finds ways to give the joy of the hot rods to others. His nieces and nephews are often the recipients of his tiny cars. In addition to taking them to car shows, once in a while Prado will bring his hot rods to children’s hospitals and toy drives to bring joy to those who need it most.

The effect the hot rods have on the patient’s attitude, he said, is incredible.

“I’ve gotten an incredible amount of satisfaction just to see people lighting up when they see something so tiny. It’s the way to pass down the car culture to the kids,” he said. “Unfortunately, I can’t do it as a business because it takes too long to build them and they’re all handmade. Not only that, there’s too much money tied up in them to sell them. But they’re made for smiles and giggles and pictures.”

Prado recalls an instance when a man approached him asking him to build a hot rod for him. Although

Sergio Prado’s nieces and nephews, along with some four-legged friends at recent Blessing of the Animals.

he was reluctant at first, he came around after the man explained it was for his granddaughter who would never be able to walk.

Although this case never materialized, these kinds of cases are just the right ones in which the people need it, Prado says.

When it comes to what one can build on such a small scale, Prado says the only limitation is the scope of your imagination.

“The sky’s the limit. With your imagination you can build whatever you want. Right now I’m building a fire truck that will hold three kids. I’m also building a 1951 International Metro that’s going to be a replica of a 1950s Ice Cream Truck.”

Granted Prado’s hot rods may be tiny, the impact they have on people – and dogs alike – is anything but small.

Wine Town Rollers cruise through life, one jam at a time Crystal Olmedo VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Temecula Valley’s first roller derby league, Wine Town Rollers’ home teams the “Hit Bosses” and the “Winchester Rivals” will be going head to head at Spring Fling April 9.

The bout is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Margarita Park in Temecula.

There will be raffles, food league merchandise for sale and will feature DJ Bass DropHer of Heyday Events.

Wine Town Rollers is a member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association which is a nonprofit organization that includes teams from around the world.

Although the skaters will be competing, their values lie with the family they have built within the leagues and the love of their community.

Home team bouts allow everyone in the league to play and provide the opportunity for friends and family, that cannot attend traveling competitions, to show support for the skaters.

Ellianna Jameson, known as FoxXxy Blocksy Brown, league marketing director, was drafted by the Winchester Rivals in December 2014.

“Although we are very competitive the home team bouts are pretty friendly we have our travel teams that get us the rankings,” Jameson said.

Jameson said that being a part of the team has enriched her life.

“The (league) has definitely helped many of us to make lifelong friendships with a lot of girls that we wouldn’t have otherwise crossed paths with,” said Jameson. “It’s pretty special. The bond between the girls in the league is probably the biggest thing I get from it.”

As well as the friendships, Jame-

son said being in the sport has also taught her life lessons.

“There are a lot of women who have body issues and derby is a place where there really is something for everybody,” Jameson said.

“No matter how big or small you are you can look at it as something that can work for you and do amazing things. It’s very different than what American society is usually taught about women’s bodies.”

League member Krista Goodman aka Bambi in the Headlights, said that the sportsmanship of the Wine Town Rollers was what brought her to the league.

Goodman plays for the Whine Makers which is the league’s traveling charter team as well as the home team the Margarita Hot Sprints.

She transferred from another league on January, the OC Roller Girls a former bank track team.

Traditionally roller derby was played in a banked track with raised or sloped turns.

“It has changed my life and I absolutely love it more than anything,” Goodman said. “The comradery of the team is a really neat thing. No team is successful by the work of any one individual. Your team in this sport is not just your team it is your family.”

Goodman said the skills and experience she had earned as a skater has helped her to grow in other aspects of her life.

“It’s given me a metaphor for life, Goodman said. “I’m a jammer, which is a point scorer. As a jammer you can never give up and your job is to always stay looking forward and make the next scoring pass. No matter what life throws at you and no matter how challenging it may be or no matter what stresses or anxieties you have to move forward.

I know so many strong and powerful women that do that in this sport.”

She even wrote her thesis for her master’s degree on Roller Derby and has found employment because of her networking through being involved in the sport.

“This sport has given me everything I have in my life today,”

Goodman said.

The Wine Town Rollers also does their best to give back to the community whether it’s participating in charity benefits, toy drives or helping the homeless with necessities like blankets and coats.

Carlos Guzman, coach for the traveling team the Grapes of Wrath and the home team Winchester Rivals, began coming to competitions to support his wife Maile PahoaGuzman aka Slam Her Jammer who plays for the Winchester Rivals. He

used to take photos for the league events and was asked to be a coach.

“It’s better than football,” Carlos Guzman said. “It’s invigorating and exciting. There’s never a dull moment.”

Cory Mooers, affectionately known by the skaters as Coach Stache, is a coach for the Margarita Hot Sprints and Whine Makers and has been with the league for three years since its start. His wife Shannon Walker Mooers, known as Smackyo Mama, is the captain of the Margarita Hot Sprints and brought him to the sport.

“What is distinguishing about our league is the sense of community and family,” Mooers said. “They support each other. If someone gets hurt we have care calendars so we can take them food for their families. They pick each other up and take each other to doctor appointments or help take care of each other’s kids.”

Heather Jackson, whose league name is Morrigan McTerror, plays for the Hitbosses and the Whine Makers and said that the sport has not only fulfilled her love of skating but had allowed her to meet new friends and the chance to travel.

“I love getting to meet not only the people in the league, but all the people we meet in other leagues as well,” Jackson said.

The community and family extends beyond their league. Toni Isbelle, aka Rockalicious, a team member from a rival team, the San Diego Aftershocks, died in an accident April 2 when the pilot of a Lancair IV, single-engine low-wing plane crashed into the car of skaters Isballe was in a vehicle on the shoulder of the Pala Mesa area of the I-15 freeway and since the accident over $12,000 has been raised on her behalf through gofundme.com.

“There has been such an outpouring of support from the derby community even from people who don’t even know her,” Jameson said. “This exemplifies our sense of community. Even though these are people we play against and get our rankings against we would never wish any evil on anyone. We are there to support them and anyone who has lost someone so tragically.”

Menifee Better Together volunteers to help beautify city Jacob Preal VALLEY NEWS INTERN

For those looking to give back to their community, Menifee will be hosting its annual Community Beautification and Quail Valley Clean Up Saturday, April 23. Menifee Better Together is putting together teams of volunteers to assist with a Senior Home Revitalization and Senior Window Washing and Porch Cleanup in Sun City with support from local Habitat for Humanity. Volunteers can also participate in a Quail Valley cleanup in Kabian Park.

Volunteers should meet at the Sun City Civic Association in Webb Hall by 7:30 a.m. for registration.

Kickoff starts at 8 a.m., where

they will receive T-shirts and sign a waiver before heading over to their volunteer area. Volunteers will work until 11:30 a.m., after which they will be treated to a barbecue lunch from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The Quail Valley Clean Up, partnered with Waste Management, will allow residents to safely dispose of various e-waste, household appliances and tires without rims. Other accepted items include computers, ovens, microwaves, refrigerators and other bulkier items. The cleanup cannot accept organic, chemical or hazardous waste disposal, including motor oil, vehicle batteries, fertilizers and pesticides.

Members of the Quail Valley community can fill up their vehicles or trailers and haul their items down

Lake Riverside Board President Gordon Lanik and his wife were guests at the “3rd District Summit” hosted by Riverside County 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington at South Coast Winery Resort and Spa in Temecula March 31. Members of the Anza Valley Chamber of Commerce were also invited to the event by the supervisor.

Riverside 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington visits with Rhonda Reinke, of Rose Again Foundation and wife of decorated and retired Camp Pendleton Maj. General Claude Reinke. Left, and Joan Sparkman, notable Temecula resident at his 3rd District Summit held in Temecula.

WASHINGTON from page A-1 what seems to be an ever increasing threat. As your supervisor I am committed to keeping your communities safe,” Washington said.

In an exclusive interview with the Temecula News after the summit Washington expanded upon his statement to keep the communities safe.

“I want to say we want safe communities. That can be accomplished through law enforcement, firefighters, emergency response and even citizen participation like neighborhood watch,” he said. “All of these things come together to create safe communities. So, I don’t think we can rely on one aspect of the whole pie. We need mobility to cover our infrastructure that will either be by cars or public transportation, or even sidewalks and bike paths.

Those things come together to promote mobility.”

He cited the mobility needs of teenagers is different from that of seniors. To teenagers, mobility might mean get on an RTA bus.

As a senior it may be Dial-a-Ride.

He said that mobility is achieved through the economy.

“When people are working it gives them the mobility to provide for these families and to contribute to their communities. They become givers instead of takers,” he continued. “We have programs that support people in need. We all support those, but I think the best avenue is to create a pathway to family avenues. Giving the people to work, enroll their kids in afternoon activities and participating in nonprofits that benefit the community.”

He indicated he would work toward accomplishing those goals.

He pointed out the assets of the 3rd District can make those things possible and the county wants to help the communities achieve the goals.

He noted that the county has been involved in plans to open more trails in the mountain communities, helping to finish up the levy in the San Jacinto area and helping to open up the parks in that city as well. The county is working with the city of Hemet with plans to rejuvenate the Hemet downtown area and bring back the “snowbirds” again. He said the growth in the cities of Murrieta and Temecula valley area is bringing both a booming tourist trade and a thriving health care industry. He noted that there could be as many as 65 wineries in Temecula Wine Country’s future and a new sewer system working with the water companies could improve those chances.

Road improvements on the I-15 and I-215 are underway or planned.

A new library in the French Valley and Winchester area is being discussed and many other projects that will help the 3rd District survive and thrive.

“I am inspired by this 3rd District,” said Washington, “This county is changing and with your help the district will thrive!”

He said when he first learned of his appointment to the 3rd District supervisorial district by Governor Brown a year ago from a list of 25 applicants he was surprised at the scope of his new responsibilities.

Since then he said “It’s an evolution that has occurred in the last

to Kabian County Park, where local church volunteers will help with unloading waste containers from Waste Management. Proof of residency, which can be either a driver’s license or a utility bill, must be present in order to drop items off.

The cleanup will last from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. or until all bins are full.

The Senior Window Washing and Porch Cleanup and Senior Home Revitalization events will be run in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley, the City of Menifee and the Menifee Interfaith and Community Service Council.

They serve as key components of Habitat for Humanity’s “A Brush With Kindness” program.

“The A Brush With Kindness program is an exterior home repair year. Coming from my eyes wideopen, saying, ‘Wow, what did I get myself into? ... The wonder and vastness of it all up until now. Now I am having meetings with people to solve problems, to plan programs in the county. To deal with issues in the county.

“I have fully embraced it. I am enthused for the impact we get to have…the things that didn’t get done, we need to get done,” he mused. “ Washington is up for re-election and hopes to continue his meetings with residents when problems come up and see what he can do to facilitate solutions.

“I am going to focus on areas of the district that have asked me for assistance, for help,” he explained.

“These vary in need. I can partner with them like Hemet-San Jacinto that have more challenges, say then Temecula or Murrieta when it comes to public safety. When it comes to public safety we have achieved bringing more deputies to the east Hemet station and in the mountain communities.

“We do what we can. In some cases, there isn’t much we can do when it comes to another agency that oversees that area, like water issues with water boards. But, we try to be a liaison between the two...

I want them to understand that is what I am here for. I am here to represent their concerns and be the guy that can go and facilitate and be their liaison with the appropriate (county) departments that address their issues.”

Washington said the summit would be an annual event if he is re-elected.

To contact Washington call at the following offices: Riverside, (951) 955-1030; French Valley District office, (866) 383-2203; or Hemet at (951) 955-1030 or send an email to District3@rcbos.org.

and maintenance program for low income homeowners,” said Mary Stein with Habitat for Humanity.

“This program helps reduce blight and increase visual appeal of aging inland communities while helping homeowners stay in their homes and keep them affordable.”

According to Stein, Habitat for Humanity is looking to help 30 to 35 senior homeowners with exterior revitalization and 10 to 20 with window washing and porch cleanup in the Sun City area of Menifee. They anticipate more than 300 volunteers in total for both events. Porch cleanup services include “yard cleanup and weed abatement, pruning of existing plants and shrubs, trash cleanup and removal, painting of trim or eaves, and planting of annual color or flowering plants.”

Through this event, the city comes together annually to take care of its citizens and their residences.

“It’s just a great opportunity for community to contribute to the enhancement of the streets and neighborhoods and really take some ownership over the way the city looks for some of our most needy residents with improvements to their property,” Menifee Community Services Director Robert Lennox said.

Volunteers are advised to register as soon as possible so that enough there will be enough food for each of them at the barbecue. Those interested should register by visiting www.justserve.org or emailing alesia@habitat4inlandvalley.org.

Open communication with law enforcement keeps our streets safe Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

This week Valley News, along with our sister papers the Anza Valley Outlook and Village News, has an exclusive story on a drug bust in Anza that involved six illegal marijuana grows and seven arrests.

I was fortunate enough to be able to drive up to Anza take a few photos and see firsthand what the people there are facing with these numerous “pot farms.” While in town, I was able to talk with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Marijuana Enforcement Team, and I have to say, I am impressed with what they are doing to keep residents safe, not just there, but all throughout the county.

Growers like those rural places with lots of space to grow their product and hopefully avoid detection by law enforcement, a fact that the MET is fully aware of as they continue to hone in on those who choose to grow marijuana il-

legally. That’s a good thing in my opinion.

As I approached the grow in my vehicle, I could smell the marijuana from about a mile away, literally.

The odor, best described as “dead skunk” was infused with a horrific chemical smell that just about put my gag reflex into overdrive. The closer I got to the grow, the worse the smell became. It was disgusting. Even worse for me was the knowledge that people who live in the area have to smell that daily depending on the direction of the wind.

The odor was probably the most physically offensive thing about that grow. But I will say the area was a true eyesore along the Pacific Crest Trail. Rundown motorhomes and greenhouses dotted the landscape that was littered with trash along one of the most beautiful trails in the entire country. I see now what the dozens of people who contacted me via social media were talking about when they

complained about the mess these illegal grows leave in their wake.

What I saw that day and learned after talking to many area residents about the situation, was literally the tip of the iceberg as I understand it, and that is something I am not OK with.

I have nothing against those legal grows, the ones with 12 plants per person and up to 24 total on their property (if there are two people growing) as directed by Riverside County Ordinance 925. It’s ones that are illegal that get my goat.

Thankfully the MET and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, as well as local law enforcement in our communities, are working to eradicate them.

About a month or so ago, there was a grow house bust in my neighborhood. I live in a virtually crimefree area where the only problem that I know of is the occasional rowdy neighbor hosting a house party once or twice a year and the occasional coyote roaming the

streets in the predawn hours.

On a day-to-day basis we can hear the neighborhood children out playing in their yards, their laughter oftentimes filling my house – it’s one of the benefits of living somewhere that I can have my windows open year-round. Those kids zip by my house on skateboards and bikes, walk to the park and in a true throwback to my time growing up in the 70s and 80s even play kickball out in the street. It’s a site to behold.

Before that bust, it had been at least a year since I had heard of any other crimes occurring in my neck of the woods, so I was shocked when I learned of this grow house, literally down the street from me in my “crime free” neighborhood.

Maybe I am like that ostrich with its head in the sand, completely unaware of what is going on around it, but never did I imagine that someone would be growing marijuana illegally right here. Sadly, I was wrong.

Illegal grows are happening

everywhere and residents in all our local towns and cities need to remain diligent about notifying law enforcement when they come upon these things. They have our best interests in mind, so anyone with any information needs to share what they know with Riverside County Sheriff’s MET by calling (951) 955-1712 or by going online to www.riversidesheriff.org/ crimetips/ and filling out the form.

For Murrieta residents, call Sgt. Mark Reid with Murrieta Police Department’s Special Enforcement Team at (951) 461-6329 or send an email to mreid@murrieta.org.

Callers can remain anonymous.

No matter where you live, I believe the responsibility to keep our neighborhoods safe falls on us as residents and the best way to do that is by keeping an open line of communication with local law enforcement. Remember, they are here to “serve and protect,” but hey, it’s only my opinion.

Governor feeds churches to gay-activist lions Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Last week, Nathan Deal, the Republican governor of Georgia, threw his faith and principles aside in order to feed the radical gayrights lions who were baring their teeth and threatening his state.

This move has far-reaching implications for the rest of the nation because it empowers these bullies and the powerful corporations who support them.

Let’s be clear: The bill Deal vetoed was one of the weakest attempts to restore the religious protections afforded by the First Amendment by any state. In fact, it did nothing to protect the freedom

that should be available to ever person of faith. It only addressed religious institutions.

The gay bullies made Georgia’s version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which has been adopted by 20 states, all about them (isn’t everything these days?). As the country was becoming more accepting of people with different lifestyles, it was the gay activists who stirred up this hornet’s nest of RFRA legislation by trying to force individuals and private business owners to participate in same-sex weddings. This not only causes many gays who are happy with their life and just want to get along to cringe; it put Georgia and its governor between a rock and a

hard place.

Georgia is now the film capital of the South. Thanks to the foresight of Beverly Kievman Copen who, in 1973, along with Gov. Jimmy Carter, created the Georgia Film Commission – the first outside of California – Georgia is now behind only California and New York in total film/TV production in the U.S. It’s a major industry in the state. Studios have invested millions there. Therefore, when Disney and others flexed their powerful muscles in an attempt to persuade the governor to veto the bill, it brought fear to the hearts of those who have built businesses around this thriving industry.

It truly was time for people of

faith to choose who or what they would serve: God or money. Thousands weighed in on the issue.

There is no shortage in Georgia or any other state of bakers, caterers, photographers, bands, singers or venues for gay weddings. In fact, you would be hard-pressed to find a community without such venues or vendors for these events.

Gay couples are more affluent and have more disposable income that couples in general, and most businesses are only too happy to have some of it.

Georgia’s RFRA is not about discriminating against anyone or any group. In fact, there is a clause in there to that effect. It was never about serving or not serving those who say they are gay. Presently, that is the only way to tell if one is a member of this coddled, bellicose special-interest group. There is no color or identifying mark. No gay gene has been found, but not for lack of trying. One is deemed gay simply if one says he is gay, and in many states, said persons are then afforded special protected status not available to the public at large.

However, acceptance is not enough for these gay bullies. That was clearly illustrated in the fight over Georgia’s RFRA. They will not stop until they force every church or faith-based organization to denounce their beliefs in order to open their doors and employment to everyone and everything, thus stamping out religion itself.

It was sad to see, Gov. Deal, a Southern Baptist, tie himself in knots as he mouthed the tired rhetoric of the gay bullies as he prepared the state for his veto.

Using a passage from the Bible that showed Jesus reaching out to

an outcast, he offered this pathetic explanation: “What that says is we have a belief in forgiveness, and we do not have to discriminate unduly against anyone on the basis of our own religious beliefs.”

Then he called on his fellow Republicans pushing for the measure to take a deep breath and “recognize that the world is changing around us.”

Yes, the world is changing but the Bible warns us not to be conformed to the world. And, although the world changes, the Bible clearly shows us that God’s standards never change. Deal’s statements suggest that someone is simply “playing church.”

No one has to believe in God, but our Founding Fathers recognized that it is vitally important to protect the free exercise of religion for people of faith and their institutions, a right that has been undermined by activist jurists.

The battle being waged in Georgia will continue, and it illustrates the importance of electing a president who will strictly uphold the Constitution and will appoint judges and justices who will do the same.

Dining in the Valley Avensole Winery celebrates its grand opening in Temecula Valley Wine Country

I

t isn’t every day that a winery celebrates a new beginning.

Such is true of Temecula Valley Wine Country’s newest crown jewel – Avensole Winery. Owned by Sheldon (Shel) Lytton, and the Lytton Family, this revived property that was initially planted in the 1960s still offers one of the most stunning views in wine country.

On April 9, Avensole Winery will open its doors to the public, inviting all to attend a day of wine, music, and menu items ripe for the tasting.

Special offers, such wine tasting specials, will run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The Avensole restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on opening day.

Owned by Los Angeles based entrepreneur, lawyer and television writer Sheldon Lytton, and his sister, Maribeth Lytton (Levine), Avensole is poised to become Temecula’s favorite new winery.

“Avensole is a word comprised of the Italian word for adventure ‘avventura’ and ‘sole’ which stands for one of a kind or matchless,” Shel Lytton said. “Our philosophy is that discovery and adventure make life meaningful, and to us, Avensole is our greatest adventure of all.”

Lytton’s wife, Susan, an interior designer, had her hand in the décor of the establishment, adding Southern Georgia touches to the design.

“It’s incredibly exciting to open our doors after almost two years of renovation,” said Kimberly Elliott, Lytton’s daughter and marketing manager for the estate winery. “This is the realization of what was once only a dream, beginning with my father’s heartfelt vision for what was possible for our family on this beautiful land.”

For Elliott, Temecula Valley inspired their family’s adventure into wine country.

“We fell in love with the land, and have found the people to be equally as lovely. Everyone has been warm and welcoming,” she said.

Visitors to Temecula Valley Wine

Country will find Avensole on the south side of Rancho California Road’s ridgeline.

“The vineyard estate has produced some of Temecula’s finest grapes for more than four decades,” Lytton said.

With its premier location, the winery enjoys an exquisite view of wine country from all sides. The completely renovated property includes the Avensole Restaurant and Marketplace, the Avensole Tasting Room, as well as a rich carpet of grass, koi pond and bride’s cottages.

“We are currently scheduling weddings at Avensole,” Shel Lytton said.

“The brides will be taken from the cottage to meet her father by a horse drawn carriage. There, she will walk down the path and to the event lawn.”

The inside event facility is breathtaking, with the completely open sliding glass wall, where every table

20 acres of vines, growing cabernet sauvignon, Muscat canelli, old vine zinfandel, new vine zinfandel and gewürztraminer.

“This property is rich with Temecula Valley Wine Country history,” he said. “It’s a true pleasure to see the winery ready to celebrate its grand opening as Avensole.”

Lytton has assembled a team of both family and the professionals of Temecula Valley Winery Management behind him, including winemaker Tim Kramer.

“The Muscat is amazing, as are the estate grown pinot grigio,” Lytton

“When we first saw Avensole in 2013, we fell in love with the hilltop location and the views across the valley,” Lytton stated on a tour of the property.

said. “(Kramer) has done an amazing job.”

Chef Daragh Matheson has developed the Avensole restaurant menu to be rich with his expected delicacies, and desserts are the creations of award winning pastry chef, Andrea Maue.

Avensole broaches the casual to upscale category, with a menu to serve any appetite, midrange pricing. The outdoor dining experience made more comfortable with covered patio, heaters and screens lend to the intimacy of the dining space.

“I think it will be one of the premier dining spots in wine country,” Matheson said. “Avensole has everything, from the ideal location, gorgeous view, wine and food. But it is that superb view from the hill, and the nice breeze that keeps things nice and

cool, even when it’s 90-degrees elsewhere in the valley, in any weather.”

Avensole’s menu pairs with the complement of wine offered at the restaurant. The Cheese Flight is a wonderful way to start your dining experience, with Triple Crème French Brie, Spanish Manchego, Sharp Saint Agur, almonds, dried apricot, sliced pair, served with a crusty baguette will pair with your favorite red or white Avensole wine.

A must try is the Oysters Oscar – fresh oysters, baked with julienned asparagus spears, Dungeness crab, glazed with delicate and creamy Béarnaise and topped with crunchy breadcrumbs. Oysters, a rare delicacy in Temecula Valley Wine Country, are also served Au Natural, with horseradish, cocktail or ponzu sauce.

Come to try the Oysters Oscar, and they will become a must order menu item.

Fans of the Croque Monsier--baked ham topped with creamy béchamel sauce, Emmenthal cheese, for a little sweetness and Gruyere – will not be disappointed with this flavorful dish.

Come to enjoy outdoor, al fresco dining under the covered patio setting, centered by a large, multi-tiered fountain and reaching olive tree. The colors – selected by designer Susan Lytton – are trend-setting palate of rich dark turquoise, butter yellows and inviting grays. Long bench seats and ample pillows beckon diners to come to dine and stay to enjoy fine wine, fermented cocktails, and live music from the verandah.

The tasting room, offset from the main property by a large koi pond, is rich and inviting in décor and staff.

Inside, a wealth of design, elegance will make you feel like you are a world away, right here in Temecula Valley Wine Country.

“We hope that Temecula will discover Avensole like we did,” Shel Lytton said, “And that it’s a truly memorable experience in wine and fare for all.”

Campbell plays with Lee Rocker at Pala Joe Naiman WRITER

Temecula guitarist Buzz Campbell was part of Lee Rocker’s band when Rocker performed at Pala Casino’s Infinity nightclub March 5.

“We had a blast,” Campbell said.

“I had a great time.”

Rocker is best known as the bassist for the Stray Cats, whose first album in 1981 provided a return to the hit charts for rockabilly music.

The Pala concert’s 24 songs during the 91 minutes the band was onstage included the Stray Cats hits “Stray Cat Strut,” “Sexy and 17,” and “Rock This Town,” but Rocker also paid tribute to other rockabilly artists and some of the songs preceded the Stray Cats’ revival of rockabilly.

“I think we all carry a responsibility to pay homage to those guys,” Campbell said.

Songs included “That’s All Right,” which was Elvis Presley’s first single. The “B” side of that single was “Blue Moon of Kentucky,” which was Rocker’s next song.

Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash were known as Sun Records’ million-

dollar quartet. Rocker referred to those four as the Mount Rushmore of rockabilly, and the band also performed the Carl Perkins hit “Honey Don’t.”

Normally Rocker uses two guitarists, Campbell and Brophy Dale, while Jimmy Sage plays the drums.

Sage lives in the San Francisco area and Dale is a Long Beach resident so the band at Pala consisted of Rocker, Campbell, drummer Larry Mitchell and keyboardist Joey Guevara. Mitchell also lives in Riverside County, Guevara lives in San Diego County, and when Rocker is not on tour he splits time between New York and Laguna Beach.

The Pala concert was the debut of Mitchell and Guevara with Rocker’s band. That might have been noticeable for fans who have seen Rocker extensively in the past, but for those unfamiliar with Rocker’s supporting musicians verbal revelation rather than any performance flaws would be necessary to know that Mitchell and Guevara were performing with the band for the first time.

“Guys who have been doing it as long as Joey and Larry, it’s a lot easier than it sounds,” Campbell

said. “Those guys did their homework.”

The newcomers also had the benefit of Campbell’s assistance. “I was doing a lot of cueing,” he said.

Campbell, who has been a regular on Pala’s Center Bar stage with Hot Rod Lincoln and also performed with Sha Na Na at the Pala Events Center before the 2010 opening of Infinity, felt that the Pala venue was a suitable place for the initial concert with Mitchell and Guevara in the band.

“The best way to learn to play together is just playing,” Campbell said. “Pala’s kind of a low-pressure situation.”

The proximity of Guevara to Pala allowed Rocker to add a keyboard player to the band. “He kind of likes the element it brings,” Campbell said.

“Lee’s getting to the point where he’s sort of diversifying,” Campbell said. “It’s fun for him to do something different. “ Rocker traded his bass for an acoustic guitar for “Memphis Freeze,” and he also used the acoustic guitar for “City of New Orleans” while Campbell utilized a six-string banjo for the song

originally recorded by Steve Goodman. Rocker had a slower pace than Goodman. Rocker also modified the lyrics; he didn’t add any new lines but duplicated some verses while eliminating others.

That change in lyrics is bad from a purist’s standpoint but made a statement for the revival of nostalgia. Rocker eliminated the final stanza of Goodman’s version, and the final words of that stanza are “This train has got the disappearing railroad blues.” When Goodman wrote “City of New Orleans” in 1970 intercity passenger rail was in decline and threatened with extinction. The same might have been said for rockabilly in the era when the folk and psychedelic

genres dominated airwaves, record sales and concerts. The revival of passenger rail literally took an act of Congress, which oversaw the formation of Amtrak. The revival of rockabilly a decade later was the result of the act of a record producer who was able to market the Stray Cats’ initial albums and singles back into a popular music environment which in the early 1980s was led by next-generation Motown and new wave artists.

“I don’t think we could have done anything wrong with that audience. They were just happy that we were there,” Campbell said.

“Pala’s been good to me,” Campbell said. “It was cool that we came back.”

Rugby saves young man’s life Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

It was 2011 and Sean Booth was just beginning his first season of football. He practiced from 7 to 9 every night. His parents noticed that he had begun to lose considerable weight and was always thirsty – a problem they attributed to his hard work at practice.

A couple of months later, Sean starting experiencing chronic headaches, vision problems and nausea.

Assuming it was a concussion received at practice, doctors ran a CT scan on Sean, which resulted in an emergency appendectomy.

Sean recovered well, but couldn’t finish the remainder of the football season.

Less than a month down the road, the Booth family was introduced to a newly-developed rugby club.

Coming from a family that has a deep love for rugby, being they are from England, Sean dove in and never looked back. He continued to lose weight, down 23 pounds total, and it appeared that all of his health concerns were taken care of, resulting in his participation in a tournament at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista.

At the tournament, Sean experienced what appeared to be an asthma flare up, something that had occurred in the past. He caught his breath and got back in the game, before a cleat to the neck sidelined him for the remainder of the game.

Just a couple of weeks later, Sean was in bad shape. He played in a game, but fell asleep immediately after and was hard to wake up. He ate little and couldn’t keep what he did eat down, which prompted his mother, who was concerned he was dying, to take him to Urgent Care.

Sean was experiencing Diabetic Ketoacidosis, or more simply put organ failure. He was rushed to the ICU and stayed there for two days, before being moved to another hospital room for the remainder of the week. While there, he took a test that determined his average blood sugar level over a 90-day period.

For non-diabetics, the average level is 5.6. His level was 14.5.

Type-1 Diabetes is an auto-immune disease, which is not caused by diet or exercise and is incurable.

While Sean tested positive for it genetically, it was caused by an unknown environmental trigger, such as a virus of some sort. Now, he will forever be affected by the disease.

Since then, he’s been on insulin, which is pumped into his body by a needle or machine on an hourly basis. Without the pump, Sean would die. However, there’s just one problem with his form of life support – while helping him, it harms him at the same time. The part of the pancreas that produces insulin naturally for non-diabetics, releases blood sugar in the body naturally, in the proper amount. For Sean, its all calculations based on what he is eating, and if he is going to play rugby, this would cause some problems.

By mid-2012, it looked nearly impossible for Sean to return to rugby. He was experiencing regular drops in blood sugar, and once

at school he nearly collapsed on campus. P.E. was a danger for him no matter how many carbs he had beforehand, and his grades were suffering. While his endocrinologist wrote him out of P.E., Sean hadn’t yet ruled out his return to rugby.

“We also began looking into a diabetic alert dog for Sean the same year.

He has spent many days and months of training to prepare for this, and we have fundraised thousands of dollars to support it,” said Anna Booth, Sean’s mother.

Sean’s normal blood sugar range is 90-150. If he reaches anywhere under 70, he risks weakness, passing out, seizures, or death should it reach zero. If he isn’t at 130 or higher he can’t take the field for a rugby match.

But, once he starts playing, his levels can reach anywhere from the high 200s to 300s, due to his levels of aggression and adrenaline.

The Temecula Rugby Club has become a second family to the “Booth-Rugger Clan,” as they’re fondly referred to. The club has been more than accommodating to Sean’s condition, and helped the Booths in many ways throughout his return to the game. They’ve assured Sean’s safety and have always looked out for his health.

Sean has only had one serious incident since his return, when his blood sugar level dropped to 27. He was at risking of seizing or passing out. Ironically, the family was back at the Olympic Training Center, where it all began. Luckily, he’s been prepared for this type of incident, as he always carries an emergency glucagon shot for moments like this.

The Booth family finds it hard to put into words how inspiring the sport has been for them. It has helped bring them together, and support each other in even more ways than usual. But most of all, they get to see Sean run around free of any problems. When on the rugby pitch, Sean isn’t connected to anything. The family enjoys watching him thrive again and reestablishing his spirit.

Fast forward a couple of years, Sean is doing great. He’s figured out a dietary system that allows him to “carb-up” quickly for a game with Gatorade and different protein-rich foods, regaining all of his lost weight. Now a starting hooker for his team, Sean’s only problems have been easily broken bones, as he has now suffered over 11 boxer’s fractures or fingers while on the field. Last fall, Sean took a three-week trip to England and Wales for the Rugby World Cup and even played with a team from Barnstaple, England. Like most children, he refuses to tell his parents about the injury until after the game, so he can keep playing.

Now, Sean hopes to make a mark on the world and show others that despite his Type 1 diabetes, he was able to follow his dreams.

Sean continues to excel with the

help of rugby and has now been selected as a SoCal high School All-American by the Eagle Impact Rugby Academy. With this selection, Sean has been invited to partake in the U.S. Super Regional Cup Tournament in Colorado from June 17-19. He was also informed that he is being scouted for the National High School All-American teams, which will compete in Canada.

As Sean’s mother Anna puts it, “That’s Sean, a fighter. A kid who won’t let his disease dictate his dreams and goals.” She had one more thing to add to express her thanks to rugby and the people involved in Sean’s recovery, “Thank you Eagles, for being a soaring inspiration to Sean, and for checking on him and talking to him when we run into one another at rugby events.”

Why you need a REALTOR to find the perfect home Nine tips on buying a new construction home

John Occhi and Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The spring buying season is in full bloom with future homebuyers torn between the existing inventory of pre-built homes and exploring the potential of what a newly built home offers. While it is more than obvious to many as to why they hire a real estate agent to help them find the perfect home from the existing inventory many new construction home shoppers are never even aware that a real estate agent can help them negotiate a much better deal than buying with the builder’s

agents representing them.

To help you understand the pricing structure that builders use you must understand that the actual price for a new construction home is influenced by the following: location, land cost, square footage of the home, quality of building materials, labor, market conditions and impact fees imposed on the builder Let’s explore the many different ways that a real estate agent can make for a valuable member of your new home buying experience.

Buying a new home is more complicated and intimidating. It is important to hire a local REALTOR® that is familiar with both the local market as well new construction process, in general.

Model homes are staffed by licensed real estate agents hired and paid by the builder to represent the builder. Typically, they are not real estate agents and not bound by a professional code of ethics to

represent you as the buyer. It is always best in a transaction of this magnitude to have an agent with a fiduciary duty and responsibility to represent your interest.

In most cases, your agent must accompany you the first time you visit a model home. Go new home shopping on your own and your right to representation may be waived forever.

When is the best time to buy a new construction home? Most new homebuilders are publically traded companies that are owned by stockholders. These shareholders hold the company accountable to meet sales goals and projections. As a result, the end of a quarter is a time when new homebuilders will offer some of the best incentives so they can meet their goals.

The winter holiday season is another great time to buy a new construction home since most of the country is focused on the season and not out looking for a new home. With the looming end of year just short days away, this is a great time to aggressively negotiate some great builder incentives.

How much should you pay? You may have noticed, so far we have spoken about ‘builder incentives’ and not price. The reason is the new homebuilder will very rarely budge on price because they don’t want to establish a precedence. Remember, purchase price is all a matter of public record.

With the right real estate agent, you should be able to sweeten the pot through a number of ‘incentives’ that may include design center upgrades or closing costs, both of which can mount into the tens of thousands of dollars.

Realize that new homebuilders are motivated to move existing inventory because every day the home sits vacant and on the market it is costing them money. When you find inventory that has been on the market for 45 to 60 days you can be assured that the builder is motivated to move that unit and will typically offer some phenomenal incentives.

Sidebar: Some buyers think that if they do not use an agent that they’ll be able to negotiate a better deal by saving the commission the new homebuilder would have to pay the agent. Not true. The builder either pays it to their own staff or just allocates those funds to go into their marketing budget.b Remember, new homebuilders do not want to reduce their price because it will set a precedence for the neighborhood and that goes for the real estate agent’s commission.

Get it in writing! Remember, the only thing that matters in a real estate transaction is what is in writing. If a new homebuilder’s agent says something that is important to you while showing the home, then get it in writing.

Unlike resale real estate transactions with standardized forms each new homebuilder has their own proprietary contracts prepared by their team of attorneys to protect the new homebuilder. Sure there are government rules and regulations they must comply with granting the buyer a minimal level of protection, but just remember the forms are for the benefit of the seller and not you. It is critically important that you take the time to read and understand what you are

plan with a provider without doing your research so it only makes sense that when buying a new home worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that you should research the new homebuilder. Yet so few do.

Do your homework and visit other communities the builder built 2-5 years ago. Talk with people who live there or have lived there. What do they like and/or dislike about the home and community. Look for online reviews and social media to see what real people think about the product.

Investigate major components that will be used. Is the HVAC a no-name fresh off the boat from China or is it an established leader in the field. Same goes for roofing material, flooring, fixtures and everything that goes into the construction of the home. Take some time and wander around the homes currently being built, are the crews serious and meticulous or are they horse-playing around in an unorganized work space. Trust your gut.

Who is your lender? Builders always have a ‘preferred’ lender that they’ll want you to use. Many times they’ll offer closing cost or interest buy-down as a reason to use ‘their’ lender.

It’s important to shop for a loan and get the best loan for you, the buyer and not the new homebuilder. Who knows, based on the incentives, the new homebuilder’s lender just might be the best loan for you!

So, if you’re even remotely considering buying a new construction home do yourself the favor of consulting with the real estate agent of your choice to ensure you are properly represented. Remember, it’s imperative that your real estate agent is there the first time you look at any model homes in any tract if you want the representation you are entitled to.

WYSINWYG – What you see is not what you get. That’s right, what you’re looking at is the new home- builders model home that has been both professionally staged with custom furnishing to appeal to the desired buyer and upgraded with many expensive design center upgrades. Be aware that some builders even use furnishings built to a 80-90 percent scale to make rooms look bigger.

Many of the upgrades are more expensive than if you were to have the work done by local craftspeople after the close of escrow. For example that beautiful hardwood flooring, shop locally and save money. That custom built in at the end of the family room can be made by a local carpenter, with better materials, for less money. Of course, any upgrades after the close of escrow will not be financed, nor will they be taxed as part of the value of your home when it comes to the county assessor and the property taxes you’ll end up paying on the upgrades.

Buying the builders model home. If you are fortunate to buy the builders model home, you can receive an excellent deal. Since these model homes are the showcase for the builder they typically have many of the finest upgrades being offered in the community. Of course, the buyer can no longer weigh in on the flooring, color of the walls, kitchen cabinets, fixtures or any other improvements. The trade-off is minimal, since great care went into selecting the most current custom items available.

Since these homes have never been lived in, or deeded to anyone, they are still considered new. Model homes will typically sell for current market value and include the showcased upgrades.

Research the builder. You would never buy a new car without having strong feelings about the manufacturer. You’d never sign up for a cell

Enhance your home decor with natural light TEMECULA – Something about warmer weather inspires homeowners to lavish attention on their homes. While painting and decluttering are great ways to revitalize home decor, there’s no better way to breathe new life into interior spaces than decorating with light.

Incorporating light into interior design can go far beyond a few strategically placed, attractive lamps and some upgraded overhead lights. It’s possible to use both natural and artificial lighting to complement other decor and architectural elements.

Lighting types Every home needs a little of each of the different types of lighting to meet needs throughout the day including task lighting focusing light into a specific area, accent lighting to shine a light on decorative elements, ambient lighting providing general lighting for everyday activities and natural lighting from above to make a home feel open and inviting, while also providing balanced light for everyday activities.

Natural beauty plus improved air quality Enhance day lighting by lightening up window treatments to allow for as much sunshine as possible. Choose fresh paint colors that play well with the directional lighting and consider installing skylights in rooms where adding windows isn’t practical or where more balanced natural light can add drama and differentiate living spaces.

Adding skylights is a relatively low-cost, but high impact home improvement that can be accomplished by a professional in a day or two or over a single weekend.

Fresh air skylights can also help reduce dependence on artificial lighting and mechanical ventilation, saving money on electricity.

Energy Star-qualified fresh air skylights, with decor-enhancing, energyefficient blinds, add style while providing natural light and passive ventilation. Operated by programmable remote control, the solar powered skylights and blinds, plus installation costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit.

Skylights can work in concert with vertical windows to provide improved passive ventilation that improves air quality and energy efficiency. For example, Energy Star-qualified fresh air skylights, such as those at veluxusa.com, let you circulate air in your home with flexible features to match your needs.

Manual and electric venting models are available, but topof-the-line, solar-powered fresh air models offer all the features of modern, no-leak skylights.

They feature a solar panel that charges a hidden internal battery, which operates the control system. These skylights require no wiring, making for easy and cost-effective installation. An integrated rain sensor automatically closes the units in case of inclement weather and all Velux skylights offer three layers of water protection backed by warranties.

A variety of light-filtering, light-blocking and light-controlling solar-powered blinds are also available in a mix of designer colors and patterns to enhance

lighter, less intense colors and remember colors appear truer when they are awash in natural light.

Continue the color upgrade through key decorating elements, such as upholstery fabric, accent rugs, window treatments and wall art.

Lightening colors Some hues absorb more light, making them appear darker and causing the room to look dark.

Fresh paint brightens any room, but to amplify the effect choose

Upgrading other light sources While you take steps to maximize the amount of natural light that enters your home, artificial lighting is always necessary, whether at night or for a dreary

day. Choose light fixtures – including floor and table lamps – that continue the bright, easy atmosphere you’ve already created with color and natural light.

Keep in mind the importance of layering light with a mix of sources throughout a room and choose lighting styles that fit the room’s purpose.

cess has moved online, making the process simpler and more accessible. Also, the so-called “sharing economy” has allowed more people in the lodging business renting rooms and dwellings. In fact, a 2015 study by consulting firm EY notes that in one year alone, the world’s dominant online roomsharing company that is less than 10 years old, added more listings to its inventory than the largest global hotel companies added rooms during the same period.

So vacation rentals are easier than ever, right? Possibly, but you still need to protect your money against disappointing choices and possible fraud. Before committing to any kind of property rental or property-sharing vacation, do your

homework. Here are five tips to get started: Evaluate your destination fully. The busiest tourist destinations generally have the broadest range of lodging options, from luxury hotels to hostels. Vacation rentals are usually a happy medium, located in desirable neighborhoods with a homey feel and kitchen availability that can make a stay a lot cheaper. However, every destination has certain ways of handling vacation rentals. While the newer generation of propertysharing companies might be active here, evaluate traditional options like vacation property brokers and listing services to compare prices and offerings. Also, search the name and address of the vacation property you’re considering with the words “vacation rental scam” to see if any indication of fraud, crime or other trouble turns up.

Check local short-term rental laws. While it’s generally easier to do this domestically than abroad, make sure the kind of vacation rental you’re considering is legal.

Check recent news clips or contact a local tourism bureau or chamber of commerce to see whether your target municipality doesn’t have legal or zoning restrictions on your chosen rental.

Verify the renter personally and with local experts and agencies. If your renter is reputable, he or she should be more than willing to have a detailed conversation about the property, costs, financial arrangements and on-site rules, including deadbolt locks you can control if you are renting rooms within their residence. Make time to call the local tourism bureau, chamber of commerce, or the local chapter of the Better Business Bureau at http://www.bbb.org .

Ask for any details about the renter or the property. Ask the renter for referrals from previous renters, if possible, and visit the Federal Trade Commission’s Scam Watch travel page for extensive updated advice on renting out-of-town property online at www.consumer. ftc.gov/taxonomy/term/877.

Ask for all completed agreements and liability insurance documentation before paying. Before you reserve, ask to see all contract information with pricing and scheduling information filled in as well as proof of insurance on the rental property. You should understand all payment and property rules affecting your stay and what might happen if there is accidental damage to the property while you’re there.

Share these documents with your home or rental insurer for input before you sign. If a renter hesitates to share this information, you might want to consider other options.

Also, review your personal health, property and liability coverage to make sure you’re protected during the trip.

Weigh all spending risks of the rental transaction. If you’re planning to rent vacation property, take the extra step of calling your credit card and travel insurance companies to determine whether they offer any particular protections in case something goes wrong with the rental. It’s a good way to review the full range of protection available to you on any out-of-town trip. And if a vacation landlord asks for advance cash payment – particularly wired money – be very cautious. Many travel scams begin with wired cash.

The bottom line. Planning an upcoming vacation? Before you commit to a vacation rental, investigate the owner and the property thoroughly.

EMWD successful in Clean Water Act lawsuit PERRIS — Eastern Municipal Water District announced it successfully defended itself in a lawsuit brought forward by a selfproclaimed environmental group that falsely claimed EMWD violated the Clean Water Act. California River Watch, a nonprofit organization that funds its activities through lawsuits against public agencies and private organizations for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act filed a lawsuit against EMWD in 2015, claiming that EMWD’s sewer system was harming the environment.

In dismissing the suit this week, River Watch and its founder and lawyer, Jack Silver, agreed to drop all claims against EMWD and agreed not to file suit against EMWD for a minimum of eight years. Silver has filed more than 100 such lawsuits on behalf of River Watch. Federal tax returns show that River Watch pays a majority of its fees collected to Silver.

Silver and River Watch frequently file lawsuits against public agencies for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act. Those agencies often reach settlements in order to avoid lengthy and costly legal battles to defend themselves.

“It is disappointing, but not uncommon that an individual would attempt to exploit a loophole in

the Clean Water Act by targeting public agencies for personal gain,” EMWD President Randy Record said. “Our management and board are committed to fighting on behalf of our ratepayers based on sound principle. We are extremely pleased that we prevailed.”

Clean Water Act cases are historically settled without regards to their merits, for several reasons.

The fee-shifting provision in the statute has been interpreted by the courts to unilaterally favor prevailing plaintiffs. The Clean Water Act is a strict liability statute (no fault is needed to determine liability) and even hyper-technical, purely paperwork violations are enough to establish liability.

In successfully defending itself, EMWD was able to provide extensive documentation that the claims presented had no merit. Those claims alleged that EMWD’s sewer system was leaking and harming the environment.

“This lawsuit was nothing more than an attempt to unjustly take money from our ratepayers by trying to compel us into a quick settlement,” EMWD General Manager Paul Jones said. “EMWD is an environmentally responsible organization and we work diligently to ensure our systems are managed and maintained to the

highest industry and regulatory compliance standards. We thought it was important to show that the plaintiff’s claims were baseless and we were determined to fight these allegations on behalf of our ratepayers.”

The Clean Water Act provides a citizen’s suit provision that allows for individuals or organizations to file lawsuits alleging damages if an agency’s actions result in any harm to the environment or waterways.

Financial awards paid through the lawsuit are intended to go toward restoration and legal fees. However, River Watch typically pays a majority of its fees toward its legal counsel, not the environment.

EMWD has a high standard of compliance and its sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) program is just one example of its commitment to go beyond regulatory requirements.

EMWD recognizes the potential impacts that an SSO can have to the environment and takes every precaution possible to keep its collection systems clean and fully functioning while responding to SSOs, most unavoidable, in a timely and effective manner.

EMWD continues to evaluate ways to prevent SSOs in order to improve its overall program.

EMWD reports transparently to the Region Water Quality Control

RCWD’s MyWaterTracker to receive update TEMECULA – Water challenges are facing communities and regions across the United States, impacting millions of lives and costing billions of dollars in damages.

Recent events, including recordbreaking drought in the West, severe flooding in the Southeast, and the water-quality crisis in Flint, Michigan, have elevated a national dialogue on the state of our nation’s water resources and infrastructure.

As a result, the White House issued a call to action in December asking institutions to join the federal government and announce new efforts and commitments to enhance the sustainability of water in the United States by managing our water resources and infrastructure for the long term. Rancho California Water District joined the federal government by announcing its MyWaterTracker technology and its plans to upgrade the system this summer.

The dialogue to conserve precious water is increasingly important as a growing population and changing climate continue to exacerbate water challenges. Accordingly, Rancho California Water

District suggests everyone must work together to build a sustainable water future, one in which everyone has access to the safe, clean and affordable water they need, when and where they need it.

As part of World Water Day, observed March 22, the White House hosted a Water Summit to shine a spotlight on the importance of cross-cutting, creative solutions to solving the water problems of today, as well as to highlight the innovative strategies that will catalyze change in how Americans use, conserve, protect, and think about water in the years to come.

MyWaterTracker, launched in July 2015 by RCWD, is a digital platform that enables water users to visually see and track their water use on a day-by-day basis and compare current water consumption to individual household water budgets. To date, the tool has resulted in districtwide water savings of 30 percent over 2013, or enough to serve approximately 20,000 households.

RCWD said it will launch an upgraded version of this tool in summer 2016, which will include

additional hourly water-use data and leak alerts and is expected to reach over 33,000 residential and agricultural customers.

“Rancho California Water District’s goal is use technology to put information in customers’ hands and teach them to use water efficiently,” said Jeff Armstrong, RCWD’s general manager.

“RCWD was excited to share this technology with the White House and work with them to raise water awareness nationwide.”

Boards (Regional Board) and records indicate that EMWD has one of the best performance records in both the San Diego and Santa Ana Regional Board areas.

In the event that EMWD has an SSO, it reports those actions to the Regional Board immediately, which may issue fines or other remediation measures. If the Regional Board issues a fine, outside organizations may not seek damages. However, when there is no fine issued, the Citizen’s Suit provision opens the door for other entities to seek financial compensation for damages.

EMWD is actively supporting congressman Duncan Hunter’s Clean Water Act Citizen Suit Reform Act (HR 3533) to begin addressing the loophole in the Clean Water Act. Silver’s actions related to Clean Water Act lawsuits have been called into question by the United States Department of Justice, former River Watch board members, various media outlets and dozens of responsible public agencies throughout California.

“The Eastern Municipal Water District is widely viewed as a model waste water treatment and

water supply agency,” Chris Carr, chair of Morrison & Foerster’s Environment and Energy Group and lead counsel in the case, said. “This was a different sort of case because our client refused to capitulate to the Clean Water Act citizen suit extortion racket that has for so long prevailed in California. As a leader in the waste water treatment and water supply field, EMWD felt it had an obligation to its rate payers, other agencies, and the California public at large not to perpetuate the perverse sue-and-settle dynamic that has prevailed for so long.”

EMWD is the freshwater, wastewater service and recycled water provider to a 555-square mile area from Moreno Valley southward along the I-215 corridor to Temecula and eastward to Hemet and San Jacinto. Approximately 795,000 people live and work in this area. In addition to its own water customers, EMWD supplements water to six local water agencies and municipalities that have their own water departments. EMWD operates four water reclamation facilities and treats some 46 million gallons of wastewater daily. More information can be found at www. emwd.org.

Promoting kidney health; risk factors, common symptoms and tips for prevention condition that takes a major toll on health and quality of life for millions of Californians.

Our kidneys play a vital role in keeping us healthy and ensuring our bodies work properly. Their primary function is to filter wastes and extra water out of our blood to make urine. Our kidneys also help control blood pressure, maintain healthy bones and make red blood cells. When someone develops kidney disease, their kidneys stop functioning properly which can lead to serious health issues and even death.

Who is at risk? While anyone can develop kidney disease, some people are at greater risk due to factors such as age, ethnicity and other medical conditions. Com-

Jon Friedman, M.D. SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

There is a progressive and potentially fatal health condition that effects one in seven American adults, causes more deaths annually than either breast cancer or Prostate cancer and costs the U.S. health system $50 billion each year to treat in its most serious form. One-third of Americans are at risk of developing this disease, and yet the symptoms are so difficult to detect that most people don’t even know they have it until they become critically ill and require emergency medical intervention. Can you guess what it is? It’s chronic kidney disease, a serious but sometimes treatable

mon risk factors include related medical conditions, family history and being over the age of 60.

Related medical condition Individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure are at higher risk for developing kidney disease.

Kidneys contain a lot of blood vessels, so conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure that damage blood vessels can cause permanent damage that reduces kidney function. Another common risk for kidney disease is having heart (cardiovascular) disease.

Family history Those with a history of kidney disease in their family may face a greater chance of developing the

disease, due to both genetic and lifestyle factors. Certain ethnic groups also tend to face higher risk of kidney disease including African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native Americans and Latinos.

Over age 60 Everyone’s kidneys lose function over time, so people over age 60 are at higher risk for developing kidney problems. Older adults are also more likely to have diabetes and high blood pressure, the two leading causes of kidney failure.

What can you do to help prevent or reduce your risk of developing kidney disease? Fortunately, there are steps anyone can take to help prevent kidney disease or keep it from getting worse. These

include working with your doctor to manage your diabetes and high blood pressure, exercising most days of the week and eating a diet low in fat and salt, having regular check-ups with your doctor and avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol consumption.

Kidney disease is a serious condition that takes a major toll on a person’s health and quality of life. With the right kind of prevention and intervention, we can all take steps to reduce it impact in our communities.

Diet and exercise needs change as men and women age are having trouble losing weight in their 50s and older may be basing weight-loss goals on calorie recommendations for younger people.

One challenging thing about eating less overall is supplementing with more nutrient-rich foods.

Older bodies still require similar amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals as younger ones, but older men and women must balance that need with their need to consume less calories. Consuming more fruits, vegetables and lean protein sources, including beans, and choosing whole grains over refined starchy foods can be the key.

Watch what you drink, as well.

TEMECULA – Maintaining a healthy weight is important at any age. But avoiding being overweight or obese can be particularly crucial for seniors, considering many illnesses are tied to body weight.

Maintaining a healthy immune system also can require eating a balanced, nutritionally sound diet.

The Geriatric Research, Education, and Clinical Center at Durham Medical Center in Virginia says people need to change how they eat for every decade they reach.

Caloric intake should be reduced because individuals are generally moving around less, have less muscle and their metabolic rates decline. People who find that they

ages may be packed with calories you don’t need. Choose unsweetened beverages and opt for water as much as possible. Protect yourself against dehydration, which can be harder to detect as you get older.

In addition to modifying food and beverage choices and reducing their calorie intake, seniors should continue to exercise. Healthy eating paired with moderate exercise remains one of the best combinations for healthy weight loss or weight maintenance. The goal is to consume fewer calories and expend more energy. While cardiovascular exercises can be a good way to get the heart pumping and stimulate your metabolic rate, as you age you

should perform strength-training and weight-bearing exercises as well. Muscle mass naturally diminishes with age, and according to the Mayo Clinic if you avoid strength exercises you can eventually lose muscle and increase the percentage of fat in your body. Strength training also helps you develop stronger bones, which can help prevent fractures. In addition, as you gain muscle, your body will begin to burn calories more efficiently, making your time in and out of the gym more productive.

Apart from diet and exercise, aging adults may need to consult with their doctors about nutritional supplements. Your body may pro-

duce less stomach acid as you get older, making it more difficult to absorb vitamins from food, including vitamin B-12 and vitamin D. Aging skin is less able to transform sunlight into the vitamin, which can affect the body’s ability to absorb calcium. Deficiencies in vitamins D and B12 and calcium can result in a number of health conditions.

Routine blood work can help pinpoint whether you are deficient in key nutrients.

The body’s nutritional and fitness needs change as a person ages.

Those uncertain about the lifestyle changes they will need to make should speak with their physicians.

Balance, the gift we take for granted of reasons, find it difficult to remain upright without assistance.

The list of conditions which may affect our balance is overwhelming, so I will list a few of the more common sources which walk (or stagger) into our office regularly. These may include, but are not limited to, diseases which may affect the peripheral nervous system such as Diabetes, Spinal Stenosis, and Neuropathies and so on. Other causes which may affect the brain or central nervous system are Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Stroke, etc. Even injuries to the joints of the lower extremities

can alter one’s ability to balance themselves correctly.

Often, as we age, our muscle strength and reaction time are diminished to the point where catching our feet on the edge of a rug may lead to a nasty fall with possibly serious consequences. So what is balance really. It is the ability to maintain the body’s center of mass over a base of support. It is regulated by input from the eyes, muscles and joints (proprioception) as well as the vestibular (inner ear components) system. All this information is sent to the cerebellum and certain areas of the brainstem where it is processed and acted upon. An alteration to any of these three input areas leads to faulty information being sent to the muscles which are trying to keep us upright.

Regardless of the cause of the balance deficit, slowing the progression and even improving one’s balance can be achieved. Because balance is so objective and measurable, a pilot study is underway at SDSU in conjunction with BTrackS™ (Balance Tracking Systems) which uses balance measurements as a means of staging the severity levels of MS patients as it relates to their medication schedules. Improving balance through targeted and repeated stimulation of the proprioceptive system and neural pathways is actually very simple and highly effective. The more you practice, the quicker the improvements.

in as little as five weekly treatments. At OsteoStrong we routinely track our clients’ balance using the BTrackS™, and have regularly witnessed improvements in balance and posture, many of which are life altering, including risk for falls and fractures.

Remember, balance is a learned function. As a six month old, you could not stand without falling, but with repetition and practice you were driving your parents’ crazy running around the house within only a few months.

In a story entitled “Local Clinical research effort may bring hope to Alzheimer’s patients” that appeared in the March 25 issue of the Valley News in the third to the last paragraph a statement saying that once the compound RVT-101 being tested in clinical trials at Viking Research is proven effective and placed on the market it will be provided the patients being tested in the clinical trials “without cost,” needs to be clarified.

It should have read, Dr. Friedhoff said, “Following completion of the six-month double blind study, all study participants will have the opportunity to participate in an ‘open label’ extension study. In the openlabel extension study participants will receive the investigational medication, RVT-101. Participation in the study will last for 12 months.”

Some surprising health benefits of caffeine TEMECULA – That new coffee bar opened up just around the corner and you have been eager to sample one of their signature blends. But you consistently resist the urge to venture inside. Caffeine is not so healthy for you, right?

Caffeine, the most widely consumed stimulant on the planet, has garnered a bad reputation. Some people fear caffeine and it’s potentially jittery and addictive side effects. However, many medical professionals attest that, when consumed in moderation, caffeine actually can have a number of health benefits.

Before you skip that morning cup of Joe or choose an herbal blend instead of black tea, consider the following

health benefits of caffeine.

Caffeine boosts brain and central nervous system function. Caffeine mimics the shape of another compound in the body called adenosine, which helps the body calm down and become sleepy. Caffeine can fit in adenosine receptors and cause a jolt of energy rather than sleepiness.

Harvard researchers have found that blocking adenosine may slow the buildup of a toxic brain plaque that is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, caffeine may help keep dopamine molecules active in the brain and prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease.

Caffeine can help improve mood.

The stimulant effect of caffeine may

help boost people’s moods, and thus reduce the propensity for suicidal thoughts. In 2013, Harvard’s School of Public Health found that respondents who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee a day cut their suicide risk by 45 percent.

Caffeine may lower risk of stroke.

Studies conducted in both the United States and Sweden found that older women who drink more than a cup of caffeinated coffee each day have between a 20 and 25 percent lower risk of stroke. Similar findings were discovered in older men.

Caffeine boosts memory. Studies from Johns Hopkins University showed that a 200mg caffeine pill helped boost memory consolidation.

Caffeine offers pain relief. Caffeine is often paired with other pain relievers to bring about faster relief.

The Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that when caffeine was combined with other pain relievers, patients required 40 percent less of the other drug to bring the same amount of relief experienced when using just the non-caffeine drug alone. Caffeine on its own can also relieve pain. Consuming caffeine before or after a workout can help reduce muscle soreness.

Caffeine may help to prevent cancer. A recent study from Rutgers University pointed out that caffeine prevented skin cancer in hairless mice.

Caffeine could open up air passages. People with asthma may find caffeine can improve their breathing. A study published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine determined that caffeine seems to open airways and help asthmatics breathe easier, providing a similar benefit to theophylline, a current asthma medication.

Although caffeine can prove beneficial in various ways, individuals should realize that it remains a potent and potentially addictive stimulant.

Caffeine also can aggravate anxiety symptoms and interact with certain medications. People concerned about caffeine should discuss their caffeine consumption with their physicians.

Program offers support for families dealing with Alzheimer’s RIVERSIDE – Good news for family and friends who are caring for older adults with Alzheimer’s and other chronic conditions – support is on the way. A new series of the Riverside County Office on Aging’s “Care Pathways” program begins in April, in key locations of Riverside County including Riverside, Moreno Valley, Murrieta, Hemet, Beaumont and the Coachella Valley.

This program provides a series of weekly workshops designed to offer information and support to family

caregivers who face challenges managing their caregiving responsibilities for a family member, 60 years of age or older.

A graduate from an earlier class said “This class has made a difficult situation bearable,” and another wrote, “I am less stressed and depressed. Now I feel like I have a future.”

This series of 12 workshops will cover subjects such as living with dementia, preventing caregiver burnout, managing medications,

talking to the doctor, understanding legal issues, stress prevention, communicating in challenging situations, and more. The workshops are conducted in a supportive setting, with facilitators who understand the challenges that caregivers face, and who can provide powerful tools to assist caregivers to manage their tasks with confidence, increase their self-care and thrive. To register for the series of free workshops call the Riverside County Office on Aging at (951) 867-3800 or (800) 510-2020.

Home care can be arranged for the care recipient; respite assistance should be requested at the time of registration.

The Riverside County Office on Aging received Prevention and Early Intervention funding through Riverside University Health System Behavioral Health /Mental Health Service Act, for these caregiver classes operating throughout Riverside County. This program was recognized in 2015 by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and

Innovation in the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, as a nationally recognized “Bright Idea” for its innovative design and implementation. See more at www.innovations.harvard.edu/ care-pathways.

Helping your children survive end of year testing American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

TEMECULA – Today’s students are facing more tests than ever. While taking course exams, or state-mandated standardized tests, may never be fun, there are many things every student can do to minimize the stress and maximize test performance.

The following advice can help any student: Plan ahead.

Last minute cramming seldom improves test grades, but does raise test anxiety. Instead, start your studying early and spread it over a number of days.

Anticipate.

No test covers everything about a subject. Look for areas that are most important and most likely to be covered on a test as you review your notes or text book. Think about what the teacher has emphasized. If you’ve been given a study guide, use it. Pay attention when a teacher reviews material – those are the things most likely to be tested.

Be rested.

It’s just common sense. Getting enough rest lets you feel better and will help your mind do a much better job of pulling up those obscure facts you forgot were even there.

Eat healthy.

Your brain requires good nutrition to do its job. Skipping breakfast impairs brain function. Eating a healthy breakfast improves it. Avoid junk food and foods loaded with sugar. Crashing from a sugar high during a test won’t help your grades. And limit caffeine. Coffee, caffeinated soda and energy drinks may make you feel alert, but can also leave you jittery and nervous, and make concentrating more difficult.

Stay focused.

Taking a test is rarely enjoyable. Your mind wants to wander.

Don’t let it. Keep your eyes on your paper, ignore classroom distractions and pay attention to the test material.

Relax.

In the days before a test, practice relaxing by closing your eyes, taking a deep breath and thinking positive thoughts about how well you’re going to do. Do the same thing at test time, if you get nervous during the test, take a few deep breaths and actually think about that air flowing into and out of your lungs. Then focus calmly back on the test. Remind yourself it’s only a test, not life or death.

Doing well on tests isn’t magic. It takes planning, studying and relaxing. But if doing all that doesn’t help, the student may suffer from severe text anxiety.

In such cases, the school counselor or an outside professional counselor, can provide help in overcoming the problem.

High speed car chase ends in SIG alert, I-15 traffic mayhem Ashley Ludwig STAFF WRITER

A stolen vehicle and subsequent high speed car chase across Temecula ended in a SIG alert in the early morning hours Tuesday, April 5, according to the California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Mike Lassig. Two juvenile males were ejected from the stolen car when it crashed. One suffered moderate injuries, the other major injuries.

“At 5:30 a.m. Temecula Police Department motorcycle officer attempted to pull over a 2004 white Chevrolet Tahoe for a traffic violation,” Lassig said. “A high speed chase through Temecula ensued, when the driver refused to yield to the motorcycle officer.”

The initial incident occurred on Winchester Road, according to Lassig. The Tahoe headed westbound to Diaz Road, where the driver turned south. At that point, the officer con-

tinued chase while the driver headed eastbound on Rancho California Road. There, the driver entered the I-15 onramp, southbound.

“The Tahoe then jumped on the freeway, headed south into moderate to heavy commuter traffic,” Lassig said. “The motorcycle officer was unable to stay behind the suspects due to traffic, and almost completely lost sight of the Tahoe at that point.”

The driver of the Tahoe veered into the center divider, driving 60 miles

per hour according to investigators.

“The Tahoe traveled the center divider at a high rate of speed, in a dangerous manner,” Lassig said.

The suspect’s vehicle approached Temecula Parkway on I-15, and veered hard to the right, in an attempt to exit I-15 at Temecula Parkway.

“At that point, the driver crashed into a freeway call box, and the suspect’s vehicle rolled multiple times,” Lassig said.

The driver and passenger were not

wearing safety belts at the time of the crash and were both ejected. Both were juveniles, according to Lassig.

The driver, from San Diego, is a 17-year-old male, who suffered moderate injuries. The passenger, a 13-year-old male from Spring Valley, suffered major injuries.

Both parties were transported to Inland Valley Medical Center and are in custody of the Temecula Police Department.

31, resulted in one death and left three, including a 10-year-old girl, with major injuries. The driver of the vehicle is suspected to have been under the influence of drugs and reportedly told police he fell asleep at the wheel, causing the fatal accident. The accident occurred at about 7:45 a.m., on Jefferson Avenue North of Juniper, in Murrieta.

The 15-year-old who was killed in the accident was identified by Riverside County Coroner’s officials as Summer Carbone. She was found on the sidewalk along the roadway of Jefferson Avenue, a coroner’s release revealed. Paramedics treated her at the scene, before they transported her to Rancho Springs Medical Center in critical condition. According to the release, Carbone succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced dead about 45 minutes later.

Carbone’s 10-year-old sister, who has not been identified, remains hospitalized in critical condition with major internal injuries.

Neither of the girls, who were

reportedly asleep in the back seat of the van at the time of the collision, were wearing their seat belts, according to Froboese. The two girls and the two adults inside the van were reportedly homeless and living out of their vehicle.

Murrieta Police officers and other emergency first responders rushed to the scene of the collision, after receiving a 911 call about the major accident. Upon arrival, officers found a van that had smashed at full speed into a traffic pole, causing the four occupants to all suffer major traumatic injuries.

As firefighters and paramedics treated the victims, officers conducted an accident investigation. During their investigation, officers interviewed the driver of the vehicle, who was identified as 36-year-old, William Patrick Causer. Causer told investigating officers he fell asleep while driving his vehicle on Jefferson Avenue.

The vehicle was described as a green Dodge Caravan.

The officers’ investigation indicated after Causer fell asleep, his

van drifted off the roadway and struck the pole head-on. The van struck the pole “at approximately 45 mph without any pre-impact braking,” according to Froboese.

Causer’s girlfriend, the girls’ mother, was riding in the right, front seat of the vehicle at the time of the collision. She was identified as Rebekah Joy Davis, 34.

Causer and Davis were wearing their seat-belts and both their airbags deployed, according to Froboese. Both adults sustained major injuries in the collision and were transported to a hospital.

Based on their investigation, officers believe both Causer and Davis were under the influence of drugs at the time of the collision.

“Drug use and driving under the influence of drugs (are) suspected in this collision based on investigators initial observations of Causer and Davis,” Froboese wrote in a press release about the tragic accident and death. Toxicology reports will later determine Causer’s and Davis’ level of intoxication.

A jail records search showed

Davis was arrested later the same day, shortly after 4 p.m. She was charged with willfully causing harm to a child, a felony and possession of controlled substance, a misdemeanor.

When Causer is released from the hospital, he will be charged with multiple felonies related to the collision, according to Froboese.

There were reportedly no witnesses that came forward to speak with investigators about the accident.

Anyone who has any information related to this collision or who may have witnessed this collision or the green Dodge Caravan being driven in the city of Murrieta between 7:30 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. Thursday, March 31, should contact Investigator Stickleman at (951) 461-6306.

At 46, Ettinghausen ran in his first 100 mile race. Almost 10 years and 300-plus marathons later, and Ed holds three American age division records, was a previous holder of the world record for marathons in a year (135) and currently holds the record for most 100 mile races run in a year (40).

Not only has Ettinghausen completed more 100-plus mile races than anyone else in America, but he’s creeping up on the world record. He’s completed 112 races of at least 100 miles, winning 22 of those races and placing top three in 56 of them.

He’s recently taken up 24-hour races and even races that span over the course of a week, totaling around 480 miles.

Even with all of these records and accolades, Ettinghausen’s most notable trait may be his fashion sense. He’s well-known

for running every race dressed as a court jester. He runs with a jester hat, tights, gloves and his cowbell, which he uses to cheer on other runners as they compete.

Ettinghausen isn’t just a runner though. He works as a CPR instructor and he’s a family man, married to his college sweetheart Martha for almost 35 years now.

He’s a father to four children, and a grandfather to one grandchild.

When he somehow finds spare time, Ettinghausen also helps around the community, most recently kicking off a 100 Mile Club

you’ve outrun everyone.”

He continues to reach new heights in all aspects of his life, backed by the “Jester Nation,” A group of enthusiastic supporters that totals over 4,500 followers on Facebook. Ettinghausen posts daily inspiration or running tips to encourage his followers to dream big turn impossible to I’m Possible.

As he continues to run his way through the record books, Ettinghausen follows one simple motto: Keep calm, run strong and Jester on.

program in Murrieta, whose goal is to encourage children to accept the 100 Mile Challenge, by running or walking 100 miles every school year. In return, they hope children will gain new levels of confidence to achieve better goals in academics, athletics and life.

He was also featured at TedxTemecula in October 2015, where he spoke about his past struggles to even complete a marathon, inspiring listeners with his story. Ettinghausen’s topic emphasized one thing, “Chase your dreams and don’t stop until

HS Boys Golf: Spring preview Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

After months of practice, the boys of the local golf world have been hard at work hitting the links for this year’s season. Here is a look at who will be competing this year for the top spot in their divisions.

Ambassador League Linfield High School – 2015 Record: 18-1 Head Coach: Mark Moore The Lions went 14-0 in league last season, and with only two players having moved on due to graduation, they’re looking to continue that streak this year. Top returners include Noah Woolsey and Brandan Leach (last year’s Ambassador League MVP), both of whom advanced to CIF Individual Finals last season.

Majestic League Cornerstone Christian High School – 2015 Record: 6-0 Head Coach: Harrison Heublein The Crusaders had one of their best seasons in recent memory in 2015, led by graduated senior Storm Lee. Now, the back-to-back Majestic League Champs will have to rely on the expertise of Coach Heublein to continue their recent success. Top returners include now-senior Justin Jeong and junior Cade Lenarth.

South Valley League Calvary Murrieta High School – 2015 Record: 0-2 (Three scores not reported)

Cade Casaga and Harrison Kingsley are two of the top 10 sophomores in Murrieta Valley.

Andrez Imaging photos

Head Coach: Shane Craddock This year’s sophomore-heavy Warriors will feature just one senior in Tony Guo, and two juniors in Piao Ou and Reese Phillips. Led by Shane Craddock in his second year as head coach, Calvary Murrieta has already won their first two matches of the season.

Nuview Bridge High School – 2015 Record: 0-2 (Three scores not reported) Head Coach: Mike Blair *No roster information provided.

Santa Rosa Academy – 2015 Record: 10-0

Head Coach: Brandon Chapman Last year’s South Valley League Champions return this season with four standout seniors, led by team captain Ray Gayk and returning sophomores Hailey Catalano and Kellie Knapp-Johnson. They’re already 6-0 this season, including three league wins as they look for their first back-to-back league championships in golf.

Temecula Preparatory School – 2015 Record: 0-2 (One score unreported) Head Coach: Rigo Macias *No roster information provided.

Southwestern League Chaparral High School – 2015 Record: 1-9 Head Coach: Jon Mitchell The 2015 season proved to be a disappointment for the Pumas, who failed to win more than just one league match, finishing just ahead of Mesa in the Southwestern League standings thanks to their fourth-best 211 average. This year Chaparral will depend on seniors Jordan Cook and Micah Combs, two of the SWL’s top golfers.

Great Oak High School – 2015 Record: 10-0 Head Coach: Jared Boyatt What could be considered the best team in Southwestern League sports history next to Temecula Valley Wrestling, the Wolfpack golf team has won 10 straight Southwestern League Titles in golf, and have no reason not to expect another this season. Led by two-time SWL MVP Haoyuan Li, the 2014 SWL MVP in Kendel Hodges and 2015 CIF Individual Champion Tim Davis, Great Oak all but has the title in their hands.

Murrieta Mesa High School – 2015 Record: 1-9 Head Coach: N/A With just three all-time victories in the SWL, the Rams will look to get that and more this season behind a team that features a lot of young and old talent with five seniors and three sophomores returning. One of their best players will be sophomore Alex Crozier, who finished Top 25 in the SWL last year.

Murrieta Valley High School – 2015 Record: 1-9 Head Coach: Christopher Mitchell Despite finishing with the best scoring average in the SWL at 187 last season, the Nighthawks finished in second in the standings. This season, they’ll look to unseat Great Oak and earn their first league title since the days of now PGA Tour golfer Rickie Fowler. Led by sophomore Edward Yi, who finished fourth in the SWL Individuals, and two more Top 10 sophomores in Cade Casaga and Harrison Kingsley, Murrieta Valley is poised for a monstrous upset.

2014 SWL MVP, Kendel Hodges, hopes to help Great Oak put another title in their hands.

Temecula Valley High School – 2015 Record: 6-4 Head Coach: Steve Adamiak Under first year head coach Steve Adamiak, who doubles as a PGA Teaching Professional at the Legends Golf Club at Temeku Hills, the Golden Bears are coming off their highest conference finish since 2012.

The team will be led by six Top 25 golfers in the SWL, most notably the sophomore Ferguson twins (Devin at No. 15 and Griffin at No. 17), most of whom have yet to reach upperclassmen status.

Vista Murrieta High School – 2015 Record: 4-6 Head Coach: N/A The Broncos haven’t finished higher than third since 2010 and finished with the fifth-highest team average at 212 last season. Despite that they’re ready to make huge strides on the back of senior Kaden Page, who qualified for CIF in 2014, and sophomore Jacob Lim, No. 18 in the SWL. * All stats and information provided by Maxpreps.com and GreatOakGolf.com.
