Members of community work together to better Treeline Memorial at Ronald Reagan Sports Park Alex Groves Staff Writer

Ronald Reagan Sport Park’s Treeline Memorial had a minor facelift over the past two weekends as volunteers associated with Kiwanis Club of Temecula worked to replace a vandalized park bench and made improvements to the walking path beneath the trees. The memorial and the park were both efforts that Kiwanis Club Member Doug Blois has been a part of. Long before the city took control of the park and its operations, Blois was among a group of several other individuals who decided to make the park a reality.

Blois saw the project through to completion and was still there in 2002 as it continued to blossom into a place where Temecula youth and area residents commonly gathered. It was around that time that he originated the idea for a memorial treeline area. “It’s basically a memorial park where people can plant trees in memory of their loved ones and then they put a little plaque on the ground right in front of the tree,” Blois said. Over the years members of the community have been able to honor a loved one by planting a tree in

City, two groups to serve Temecula’s needy as they tackle “growing homeless problem” Tim O’Leary Staff Writer Temecula has joined its largest church and a decades-old nonprofit group to serve the needy and work to eliminate what city officials see as the “growing homeless problem.” The ambitious effort – to be based in a social services facility the city owns in Old Town – is being launched as Temecula sharpens its approach toward homelessness. “This is a full-court press,” Councilman Mike Naggar said during a recent hearing on how the city can help those who want to get off the streets and deter those who don’t. The new program will unfold while Temecula’s homeless population appears to be rising. The increase in Temecula homelessness

is occurring despite a reported 31 percent decline in homelessness throughout Riverside County. Naggar took a more aggressive stance on homelessness at an April 8 hearing than his council

colleagues. He said the city should make Temecula “a very uncomfortable place” for transients or homeless residents who won’t work to improve their living condition. Naggar added that Temecula

must avoid becoming “a magnet” for transients from Riverside or other elsewhere who seek social services that aren’t available in their areas. Council members concurred that steps must be taken, possibly through a public awareness program, to discourage residents from giving money to panhandlers who seek donations at freeway ramps or other locations. They agreed that law enforcement sweeps, which could include the use of a helicopter, may be used to target homeless encampments and enforce trespassing, public intoxication and other laws and ordinances. The complexity of the tasks ahead was noted at the hearing by Mayor Maryann Edwards and Scott

Many parents with young children often worry about the safety of those children; it’s not uncommon for parents to have talks with their kids to develop a plan in case they should get separated. But what can parents do if their child has a disorder such as autism, where the tendency to wander may be more severe and the child’s ability to navigate the situation may be mitigated? The Center for Autism and Related Disorders (CARD) in Temecula has been coming up with a game plan for worried parents that involves coming up with a strategy with their children for where to go and who to talk to if they should get lost and from there it’s practice, practice, practice, according to autism expert Amberlyn Frey. Frey said she’s been with CARD for a total of six years and that she started as a behavioral therapist but is now a board certified behavioral analyst who works day in and day out with children who have autism. Frey and others who work at one of CARD’s 26 locations often utilize a practice called Applied Behavioral Analysis. The practice is to identify troublesome behaviors – such as wandering – and devise practical solutions to

Their estimated street value is between $800,000 and $1,000,000. Deputies with the Fallbrook Sheriff ’s Substation, as well as Sheriff ’s Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) and the Narcotics Task Force (NTF) took part in today’s operation.

Drug ring has Riverside County connection RIVERSIDE – Three of 11 people busted in a state and federal investigation into a nationwide drug smuggling operation are from Riverside County, the California Attorney General’s Office announced on April 14. Erwin Alva, Rosemary Alvarez and Ernesto Carrillo are accused conspirators in a trafficking operation targeted by the Department of Justice’s Central Valley Marijuana Investigation Team. A sting initiated by the task force last summer and continuing through March resulted in the seizure of 942 marijuana plants, 56 pounds of methamphetamine and $269,000 cash. “Transnational drug traffickers aren’t troubled by the details of law enforcement jurisdictions or government borders, and neither should our enforcement efforts,”

Attorney General Kamala Harris said. “Our success shows the pressing need for more collaboration and funding to fight transnational drug trafficking in California.” Alva, Alvarez and Carrrillo were arrested in Riverside County in March and charged with 13 felony counts, including possession, transportation and sales of controlled substances, possession of restricted ammunition and conspiracy, according to the Department of Justice. All three are being held in lieu of $500,000 bail in the Tulare County jail. Their co-defendants are Angel Pedraza Cervantes, Gerardo Campos Cuin, John DeWayne, Jose Magana, Manuel Munoz, Juan Parra, Christopher Pellegrin and Ana Valero. Cervantes and Cuin were arrested in Jonesboro, Ark., in February.

They are charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and are being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arkansas. The other defendants were arrested in Central California. According to the Attorney General’s Office, Magana was the alleged ring leader, operating a drug trafficking network with connections in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania. Some of the ring’s clients included Chicano prison gangs based in Northern California. The Central Valley Marijuana Investigation Team consists of sheriff’s personnel from Fresno, Kings and Tulare counties, agents from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Forest Service.

Ex-deputy accused of assaulting senior to stand trial RIVERSIDE – A former Riverside County sheriff’s deputy accused of assaulting a 71-year-old security guard during a confrontation at a Corona farmers’ market must stand trial on a battery charge, a judge ruled on April 9. Reggie Frank Willia Alcantar, 32, was charged last May with the felony count, as well as sentenceenhancing allegations of elder abuse and using a weapon in the commission of a felony. Following a preliminary hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice, Superior Court Judge Michael Donner found there was sufficient evidence to warrant a trial. Donner set a May 13 post-prelim arraignment date. Alcantar remains free on $65,000 bail. The defendant, who was assigned to jail duty at the Robert Presley Detention Center in Riverside between 2006 and early 2013,

no longer works for the sheriff’s department, though it was unclear whether he was fired or resigned. According to a sheriff’s statement, Alcantar “separated” from the agency last September. According to sheriff’s officials, Alcantar was shopping the afternoon of April 20, 2013, at Tom’s Farms, in the 23900 block of Temescal Canyon Road, when he got into an argument with a security guard, identified only as “James.” Authorities did not disclose what precipitated the confrontation between the men. According to a declaration filed in support of an arrest warrant, James followed Alcantar and members of his family into the parking lot of Tom’s Farms while attempting to get information. “The victim said during the altercation, he simulated having a weapon by placing his hand into

his pocket, but this was before and not during the assault,” according to the declaration. Alcantar later told investigators that the guard was “rude and aggressive,” the document states. “Reggie said the security guard kept exposing a black object from inside his pocket,” according to the affidavit. “Reggie pushed the security guard to the ground after the guard walked aggressively toward him, his vehicle and his family.” The 71-year-old man fell on his wrist, snapping it. He went to Riverside Community Hospital for treatment and was fitted with a cast. He was unable to identify Alcantar. However, the defendant returned to the location to file a complaint against the business over what transpired, and based on that information, detectives were able to identify him, according to sheriff’s officials.

sinore man pleaded not guilty on April 11 to a murder charge stemming from his cousin’s stabbing death at an apartment building in Long Beach. Bryant Keith Underwood, 29, is charged in the killing of Ahkeem Johnson, 27, who died from mul-

apartment unit in the 2000 block of Locust Avenue. Underwood was arrested near the scene and booked on suspicion of murder, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Police were sent to the scene based on 911 calls about strange

apartment, according to prosecutors. Underwood remains jailed on just over $1 million bail. He is due back in court in Long Beach later this week. If convicted as charged, he faces up to life in state prison, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

MURRIETA – A man accused of harassing girls outside elementary, middle and high schools in Murrieta was free on April 14 on $5,000 bail. Alexis Edmundo Garcia, 31, of Murrieta is suspected in multiple encounters involving children over the last two months, according to police. “Mr. Garcia drives up to minor female victims between 11- and 17-years-old and engages them in conversation,” Lt. Tony Conrad alleged. “The conversation centers around the victims’ socks. The investigation has led detectives to believe the suspect has a fixation with the socks being worn by the minors. The obsession is sexual in nature.” Garcia was taken into custody Friday afternoon and booked on suspicion of communicating with a minor with the intent of committing a sexual offense, possession of child pornography and annoying a child under 18-years-old. He posted bail and was released the following day from the Southwest Detention Center. According to Conrad, Garcia was spotted around 4:20 p.m. Friday speaking with a girl outside the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest County, 40500 California Oaks Road. As the suspect drove away from the location, a detective who had observed the interaction

stopped and questioned him, culminating in his arrest, the lieutenant said. Conrad said Garcia has been identified as a suspect in at least four encounters with girls at Alta Murrieta Elementary, Murrieta Mesa High School, Rail Ranch Elementary and Shivela Middle School. Investigators believe additional girls may have been approached by the suspect, but who have yet to come forward. “The police department is asking parents to discuss the child annoyance incidents with their daughters to determine if there are additional victims,” Conrad said. Anyone with information about the case was asked to call Detective Phil Gomez at (951) 461-6356.

23-year-old man pleads not guilty to felony rape, molestation charges MURRIETA – A former dormitory supervisor at a Murrieta school for troubled youths, who is accused of raping a girl and groping several others, pleaded not guilty on April 12 to felony charges. Wesley Anthony Langdon, 23, was arrested in February following a Murrieta police investigation into allegations of sexual abuse at the Oak Grove Center for Education Treatment and the Arts on Jefferson Avenue. Langdon pleaded not guilty to two counts each of statutory rape, sexual penetration with a foreign object and annoying or molesting a child under 18. Riverside County Superior Court Judge Judith Clark scheduled a May 9 felony settlement conference for Langdon, who remains free on a $75,000 bond. According to police, the defendant became the focus of an investigation in early January after a 16-year-old girl alleged he had sexually assaulted her. The girl apparently relayed the information to staff at Oak Grove, who immediately notified the police department.

Oak Grove is a 24-hour residential treatment center geared to adolescents with emotional, behavioral and neurological problems. According to the nonprofit’s website, 76 minors live in dormitories at the Murrieta campus, where they also attend school daily. Langdon worked as an overnight campus supervisor, according to investigators. He allegedly developed an inappropriate relationship with the 16-year-old and also harassed two other girls in the same dorm, both of whom alleged that he attempted to hug and kiss them, according to court records. The 16-year-old alleged that on at least two separate occasions, Langdon asked her to join him in a building adjacent to the dorm, where he had sex with her. After speaking with detectives, the youth evidently confronted Langdon via Facebook, prompting the defendant to delete his account, police said. He was arrested Feb. 14 and posted bail the following day. If convicted, he could face more than 30 years in prison.

Suspect arrested for allegedly blasting man Man charged in cousin’s stabbing death with shotgun LONG BEACH – A Lake El- tiple stab wounds suffered in his noises coming from Johnson’s LAKE ELSINORE – A Lake Elsinore man was being held without bail on April 9 for an alleged shotgun attack that left the victim with serious injuries that required surgery. Kevin Ronald Fulkerson, 51, was arrested after the Wednesday afternoon shooting in the 18100 block of Grand Avenue. According to Riverside County sheriff’s officials, Fulkerson’s girlfriend got into a heated argument with the victim, described only as a man in his 50s, prompting the suspect to intervene. The nature of the argument and whether any of

the parties were acquainted remain unclear. Fulkerson allegedly retrieved a modified shotgun from inside his duplex and fired on the victim, inflicting life-threatening injuries, according to a sheriff’s sergeant. He said the wounded man, who was not identified, was airlifted to a hospital and was expected to survive. Fulkerson was interviewed by detectives and ultimately arrested on suspicion of attempted murder around 9:30 p.m. He is being held at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

phase that is set to include a new youth center, gym and additional classrooms. The church’s sanctuary seats about 1,000 people, and it is the site of four weekly Sunday services. The Temecula Parkway facility is also home to a preschool, a kindergarten through 12th-grade campus and sports fields. The church also holds a weekly Sunday service at Murrieta’s Mesa High School, which seats about 700 people. The congregation joined with Orange County Rescue Mission to launch the Community Mission of Hope at Easter 2009. The service group is located in an office complex in Temecula’s northeast corner, and it is open nine hours a week to “feed and provide help and loving counsel to those in need within our local region.” The Community Mission of Hope is one of six “local impact” groups that the church sponsors with partners or on its own, according to its internet site. Those impact groups largely focus on serving the homeless or helping church members who need home repairs or meals or other services following surgery or financial or personal difficulties. Mayor Edwards is a member of Rancho Community. Peter Thorson, Temecula city attorney, announced at the hearing that Edwards’ membership would not pose a conflict of interest because she does not serve on the church governing board and has no decision making powers there. Edwards did not detail her level of church participation during the April 8 hearing. But she noted that Mission of Hope has left “a big footprint” in the area’s social services landscape. Edwards said the location of her job as executive director of the Boys and Girls Club of Southwest County has given her a unique insight into Temecula’s homeless problem. Edwards’ office is based at the club’s Pujol Street facility, which flanks the southern portion of Murrieta Creek. Historically, that segment of the creek, along with a freeway bridge at Highway 79 South, has provided cover for tents and other temporary enclaves used by the homeless. Edwards said she has noted a rapid uptick in homeless-related activity in that area in recent months. A 2009 spot check of homeless in the Temecula area netted about eight people who were living in vehicles, tents or other structures near the creek. That year, more than 200 volunteers fanned out from 23 coordination centers throughout the county for a one-day spot count of people who were living in cars, on the street or using government or social service vouchers to stay in motels. A separate one-day count was organized of homeless people who stay in overnight shelters. In 2005, the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development began requiring such homeless “census” reports from counties that seek funding. In 2009, Riverside County received $6.5 million from the federal government’s housing support program. The scope of the homeless problem has steadily declined countywide in recent years, according to officials and reports. The 2007 census counted 4,708 homeless men, women and children, according to a Riverside County fact sheet. Of that amount, 1,733 people were counted in shelters and the rest were counted “on the street.” Nearly 800 of those counted – about 18 percent – were under age 18. Another 150 people – 4 percent of those counted – were age 62 or older. By 2011, the countywide total had dropped to 4,321 homeless men, women and children, county officials reported. The count done Jan. 23, 2013, noted a further 31 percent drop from the previous year.

The 2013 “point in time” count drew on the efforts of more than 400 volunteers. It identified 2,978 homeless adults and children, a press release stated. County officials attributed the steady decline to successful new projects that steer homeless residents into short- or long-term housing as well as homeless prevention, mental health, substance abuse and domestic abuse programs. County officials also credited federal funding that helped add more than 324 additional beds of “permanent supportive housing” throughout the county over a three-year period. “Riverside County has a good story to tell about how it is ending homelessness,” Joe Colletti, Urban Initiatives founder and chief executive, said in a county press release issued in June 2013. Temecula saw its homeless figures climb during that period, city police and officials report, and panhandling around freeway exits has become more prevalent. The 2013 count identified 81 sheltered and unsheltered homeless people in Temecula. A breakdown of the 57 unsheltered adults showed that 52 percent were identified as “chronically homeless individuals.” Twenty-two percent were deemed substance abusers, 17 percent were identified as mentally ill and 10 percent were older than age 62. The city of Riverside led the county with 571 homeless adults identified when the 2013 survey was conducted. Hemet had 126 and Lake Elsinore led the southwest quadrant with 91. Temecula was followed by Perris with 57. Wildomar had 18, followed by Menifee with 10 and Murrieta with five homeless adults identified. The one-year agreement between the city and Community Mission of Hope calls for Temecula to rent the Pujol Street facility to the group for $1 per year. The council has the discretion to extend the contract for two additional one-year terms. The city will also pay the annual cost, which totals about $9,000, to maintain the exterior of the historic properties and do landscaping work there. Temecula officials noted at the April 8 hearing that Temecula would bear those maintenance costs whether the buildings are used for social services programs or other purposes. In exchange, according to the city agreement, Mission of Hope will be tasked with collecting and distributing food, hygiene items and toiletries, clothing and cold weather wear, gift cards, bus passes, motel vouchers and other assistance. Furthermore, the group is tasked with operating the pantry and, possibly with partners, providing shelter, addiction prevention, financial management, pregnancy and childcare counseling or other related “wrap-around services.” The group must give the city an annual report, provide data to state or federal agencies and train its staff and volunteers in client management and customer service etiquette. To accomplish that, Mission of Hope is expected to form or expand its partnerships with government agencies, businesses, faith-based organizations, civic and school groups, law enforcement agencies and healthcare and substance abuse providers. The creation of such a comprehensive approach, as well as Treadway’s assurances that the Mission of Hope would embrace the city’s goals, struck a chord with Edwards and the rest of the council at the April 8 hearing. “We’re going to tackle the problem,” Mayor Edwards said after the council voted to launch the program, possibly as soon as May 1. “I have high hopes.” To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Treadway, pastor of Rancho Community Church. “We’re dealing with a very difficult issue, and there’s a reason homelessness has been around for thousands of years,” Edwards noted during the 90-minute discussion and unanimous council action. Afterward, Treadway took stock of the outcome when questioned by reporters. “What comes out of that is a strategic plan with the city to solve homelessness, which is a bit of a tall order,” said Treadway, who doubles as the president of Community Mission of Hope, an umbrella outreach group of Rancho Community. Nearly a year ago, the council voted to accept proposals from groups interested in serving the needy at a Pujol Street facility the city owns and has set aside for social services purposes. In doing so, the city put a small, grassroots nonprofit group on notice that it may no longer be the group tapped to serve the needy and homeless at that location. The pair of historic buildings was the fifth location for the faith-based Temecula-Murrieta Community Pantry during its 23 years of serving the area. Years ago, the city moved a historic house and a barn to the south end of Pujol Street to clear the way for the construction of its $73 million Civic Center complex in Old Town. The relocation of the historic Alec Escallier House and its nearby barn was part of a $2.1 million plan to cluster many social services groups along Pujol. The city spent about $600,000 – much of it from federal block grant funds – to move and renovate the two historic buildings. The Escallier House and barn total about 1,500 square feet. The council decision to seek service proposals marked the latest twist in a relationship between the city and the nonprofit pantry group that began to fray in the late 1990s. The unraveling between the city and the pantry occurred as Old Town evolved from a sleepy, quirky retail district into a booming hub of restaurants, offices and affordable apartments. The nonprofit survived the death of a popular founder, the uncertainty caused by the loss of its Old Town lease and also a move forced by the Civic Center construction. Pantry leaders turned to the city for help after they reported that their efforts to find other rental locations had failed. Council members approved the $1 a year lease as a way to continue serving the needy and to put the pair of historic buildings to use. In 2011, according to a city report, the pantry served food boxes to the needy that provided 37,000 meals as well as fresh bakery items to more than 14,000 people. The pantry also distributed clothing and blankets and made showers and other services available to clients. The facility was open from 8 a.m. until noon every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The city received one “responsive” reply to its May 2013 request for proposals. That response was submitted by Community Mission of Hope along with the involvement of pantry leaders. No pantry leaders spoke during the April 8 council hearing, which left Treadway to detail how the combined group expected to fulfill the “three-link plan” that Edwards envisioned to address homelessness in the city. Two audience members commented during the hearing. Rancho Community traces its roots to Temecula’s country past in the 1960s. The church outgrew several locations before it planted permanent roots along Temecula Parkway. It is now in the third segment of its building plan there, a

Picking an agent is one of those critical issues that can cost or save you thousands of dollars. There are very SPECIFIC questions you should be asking to ensure that you get the BEST representation for your needs. Some agents prefer that you don’t ask these questions, because the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using this agent. In REAL ESTATE, as in life, not all things are created equal.

Sarah Horn, a senior at River Springs Charter in Temecula, is helping some of her classmates with the cost of a fun night out. “I overheard some friends saying they would not be able to attend our Prom because they wouldn’t be able to afford the cost of a dress. After several weeks I found that this is problem for more than one student. For a lot of families a $75 prom ticket plus a new dress is quite a big expense. This dilemma made me think, what could I do to help?” said Horn. After some research, Horn realized a lot of women have formal dresses that they may have worn only once and now just takes up room in their closet. “I posted a request for dress donations on several social media outlets and got many responses from people

4th Annual Taste of Temecula Valley announces entertainment Lake Elsinore Storm hitting coach Jody Davis prepares to sign a baseball for seventh grader Adrian Mora before the home opener against the Lancaster JetHawks on April 10.

Kim Harris Special to the Valley News In spite of a heartbreaking 5-6 loss to Lancaster JetHawks on opening night, April 10 Lake Elsinore Storm hit a homerun opening the season with a year-long celebration honoring the team’s 20 years of baseball in Southern California. The Lake Elsinore Storm became a fixture in Southern California when they opened their gates on April 15, 1994. The celebration of the team’s anniversary kicked off Thursday during the team’s home opener held at The Diamond, a state-of-the-art facility that has been continually voted one of the finest ballparks in all of the Minor Leagues. Voting for the Storm’s 20 to Remember campaign, selecting the top 20 Storm players as chosen by fans via social media and at the

ballpark opened at the game. Stars such as Darin Erstad, Joe Urso, John Lackey, Jake Peavy, Xavier Nady, Chase Headley and Jedd Gyorko are just a few of the players on the ballot. Many special surprises were on tap for guests on opening night and throughout the season according to an article by the team’s director of media relations, Eric Theiss. “The Storm Souvenir Store will feature a bobblehead quartet of All-Stars including John Lackey, Darin Erstad, Jake Peavy and Chase Headley. This collectable set will be issued individually in May, June, July and August,” the article states. During the Game scheduled on June 7 against Inland Empire, an Alumni Night will be held to welcome back many former Storm players. Every one of the team’s 70 home games will feature a promotion to honor a milestone

FALLBROOK – They keep coming back, year after year. Local volunteers come to Arts in the Park to help enrich the lives of children in the Fallbrook/Bonsall area. Sunday, April 27 will mark the 21st year that professional teachers, artists, musicians, crafters and those who simply love children will come to Live Oak Park to bring the free Arts in the Park to life. Diane Gravlin has volunteered her time at the event for 20 years. The first year, she played the dulcimer. However, as the daughter of a Swedish fiddler, she really

wanted to play the violin. After her husband, Bob, bought her a violin, she fulfilled her dream at age 60. “You’re never too old,” said Gravlin. Meanwhile, Bob signed up at Claremont College to learn violin making and repair. The violin duo were soon an annual presence at the park, with Bob demonstrating violin making and Diane teaching. “It is our love of children that brings us back to Arts in the Park year after year,” said Diane. Connie Tognoli was also a volunteer at the first Arts in the Park. She

said the event was half the size it is today, but still an exhausting experience. However, the children’s response to making her yarn dolls was all the reward she needed to return. Tognoli especially enjoys watching the moms and dads. She said one year, a dad and son constructed little green ninja warriors out of their yarn. “Arts in the Park is free, it’s outdoors, and children can do so many different things,” said Tognoli.

Michelle’s Place executive Kim Goodnough says the money raised at Reality Rally will go a long way in meeting the needs of breast cancer patients in need of testing and diagnostic services. “The funds from Reality Rally will benefit our Breast Health Assistance program which provides uninsured women who are symptomatic and under 40-year- old with diagnostic breast health services like mammograms, surgery consults and biopsies,” Goodnough said. “It’s one of our most important programs because it deals with women who have a lump in their breast and they don’t know if they have breast cancer or not and they can’t afford to find out.” According to Goodnough, Reality Rally helps to get the word out about Michelle’s Place and what they do while providing awareness. “Younger women specifical-

their memory and the treeline area – which now has about half a dozen trees – is located next to walking path. Until recently the area lacked a place to sit. However, that’s something that wasn’t always missing from the area. When the area was first constructed back in 2002, organizers placed a concrete bench for people to sit and enjoy the park if they’d rather do that than take a stroll on the walking path. However, just a few years after the initial placement of the bench, vandals arrived in the park and smashed it to the point that it was essentially unusable, according to Blois. The park has been missing a bench ever since that day and Blois, who recently rejoined Kiwanis Club after taking a decade break, said he decided it was time to do something about it after discovering it was broken. He worked with other individuals in the club to raise the necessary amount of funding to provide a replacement bench, which went to an area less susceptible to vandals. “We moved it up close to a street light where lots of people can see it from Margarita Road,” he said. “Whereas the other spot was down in a hollow where it couldn’t be seen, and I think that’s why they took advantage of it.” In addition to the bench, which was put in place Saturday, April 12, club members and community service activists spent most of the Saturday prior renovating and extending the walking path between the trees. The path had suffered some noticeable erosion from years of rain, so volunteers installed a catch basin and drain pipe to divert the water from the path. They also re-grated the walking path, making it look newer and making it easier for water to flow downward toward the drainage system. The project took a lot of man hours in order to complete according to Kiwanian Dale Qualm, who said that between the various involved members there were 3540 man hours to get the park path in tip-top shape. Qualm said that the work paid off however and added that he was very happy with the end result both in the case of the re-grated path and the park bench at the end of it. “Actually, the new bench has a much better bench than the old one,” Qualm said. “I think it will

be a good place for people to sit and reminisce.” Qualm added that being able to have that time of quiet reflection the bench works well with the memorial treeline and its intended purpose of giving people the opportunity to remember their loved ones. However, in spite of all the progress that was made over the course of two weekends, Blois said the entire process wasn’t easy. He said involvement was low, with few people showing up to the park at any given time to work on the walking path and drainage system. He encourages interested parties to perhaps consider getting involved with Kiwanis, which takes on a number of different projects that are community serviceoriented throughout the course of the year. “We are basically more of a hands-on club than some of the other clubs in the area and we do a lot of projects like this,” he said.

FACILITY from page A-1 help children avoid those behaviors, according to Frey. She said the first step to go by after conducting that initial analysis is to develop method of teaching and a corresponding reward system. “You are managing and modifying the environment through teaching, teaching new skills to replace behaviors you don’t want to see or teaching new skills for a deficit area a child may have,” Frey said. Frey said the best way both for parents and children to gain practical experience with wandering avoidance is to practice that skill in an area where it would have to actually have to be utilized. Usually that consists of going to supermarkets and stores like Target where children are put in an actual scenario and then praised when they’re able to demonstrate that they could do the right thing when they get “lost.” Frey stressed that results vary in terms of learning new skills because not all children have the same level of autism and people have different learning capacities. “There are varying degrees,” she said. “It depends on how much they know and their awareness of the environment around them.” But, she added, the program is something parents should consider if they have a child who struggles with autism because it does help get kids on the right path toward learning positive behaviors and eliminating negative ones. Jonathan Tarbox, PhD, a member of CARD’s research and development department, agrees with Frey’s assessment. He said a lot of parents are unaware such programs even exist or that practicing things is much more effective method than a sit down conversation, which is what he said he sees many parents turn to before trying a more hands on method. That’s why Tarbox and other members of the research department put together a video that informs parents of the benefits of enforcing the practical application of a skill that’s often just talked about. “Just telling kids what to do with safety skills doesn’t actually work,” he said.

Establish a low-maintenance aquarium INLAND EMPIRE – Fish are often the pet of choice when people desire a pet that requires minimal care. While home aquariums may not require substantial maintenance, they cannot go entirely ignored, either. When ignored, aquariums can quickly transform from a visually stunning habitat into a murky, algae-infested mess. But as important as aquarium maintenance is, some additional factors can also influence the beauty of a home aquarium. Bigger may be better. Larger tanks may be better than compact tanks, especially for new owners. That’s because larger tanks are generally more stable in terms of water balance. People mistakenly overcrowd their tanks with fish, and a small tank can easily be overrun by bacteria and fish waste. Upgrading to a larger tank

(think 30 gallons) means fish will have the room they need and the water will not have to be changed as frequently to keep it clean. Find a shady spot. It’s tempting to put a fish tank where it can be seen by everyone. But if this spot gets a lot of sunlight or even ambient light from overhead fixtures, it may fall victim to excessive algae growth. Algae, like most plants, needs light and a food source to thrive. The fish will provide the food material, but owners can control the light to limit algae blooms. Once algae is present in large amounts, it can easily overrun the tank. Invest in a few algae-eater fish, such as plecos and some catfish. Don’t overstock the aquarium. It can be tempting to buy more and more fish for a home aquarium.

inexpensive to more costly. Be sure the filter you choose is large enough to accommodate the volume of water in the tank. It’s better to have a filter that’s too large for the tank than one that is too small. Look for a filter that will turn over all of the water in the tank at least four times per hour. Ample filtering means the water will remain crystal clear. For an easier-to-maintain home aquarium, skip goldfish in lieu of “cleaner” fish.

But putting too many fish in a tank can throw the water balance off considerably and lead to a high amount of waste in the water. Fish that are an inch in size need roughly one gallon of water each. Fewer fish are easy to care for and won’t cloud up the water quickly. Invest in a good filter. A variety of aquarium filters are available, and they can range from

Plan for weekly, partial water changes. Siphon 10 to 20 percent of the water each week for optimal health. Try to vacuum around the gravel to remove trapped food particles and waste. Committing to this small bit of maintenance can go a long way toward creating a healthy tank that will not require more maintenance.

Real Estate

Buying a house from an investor The hoops we must jump through

John Occhi, Mike Mason Special to the Valley News The rules have changed to purchase real estate, thanks largely to the Consumer Protection Legislation that has been implemented over the last several years, most notably the Dodd-Frank Act. The year 2014 has brought in several new rules that affect the home buyer, the REALTOR® and the seller – especially if the seller is an investor. Perhaps one of the biggest challenges revolves around owner carry-back financing. In the past it has not been unusual for a seller to carry a small (sometimes large) note to help the buyer qualify for a bank loan to purchase a home. It has been a great tool helping the seller get their price while assisting the buyer obtain the home they had their heart set on. In many cases a seller carry-back was for a short period of time – perhaps one to three years. Typically it would

be an interest-only loan with a principal balloon payment due at the end of the note period. There were even loans made by private individuals helping people buy their new home and in many cases these loans were not always disclosed to the bank. These loans were commonly called “silent seconds.” Today’s rules Today, just about everything mentioned above is against federal law. An owner carry-back must be fully disclosed to the First Lender, making “silent seconds” illegal. Any real estate agent who helps facilitate one on the down low – or even had mere knowledge of a silent second runs multiple risks including sanctions by the California Bureau of Real Estate (BRE, replacing the CA DRE), Civil Judgments and possibly even bank fraud charges – faces a federal offense. In addition to the trouble the agent may find himself, the lender runs the risk of losing all of their money and interest in the property if a civil court finds the loan to be “null and void.” While a home seller may still carry back a second loan, the loan must be fully amortized so that each payment includes both interest and principal and there cannot be a bal-

loon payment. The term of the loan cannot be less than five years and the interest rate must remain “fixed” for the same five years. Not many sellers have the financial capacity to hold a note to maturity. On top of this, the seller must use a “private beneficiary” to “service the note” and possibly proceed with a foreclosure, if one should become necessary. An investor has his own hoops to jump through. While an investor may use the seller carry-back as a tool to sell a home or two, the investor is limited to three carry-backs in a 12-month period. To use the tool a fourth time, the seller must have the same NMLS license as everyone else who makes loans. Having the NMLS license means the lender must be in full compliance with every aspect of the Dodd-Frank Act and other legislation of the books geared at protecting our fragile housing market and protecting the consumer. How long has the seller owned the home? Seller acquisition time refers to the time an investor has from closes escrow when purchasing the property and the date the buyer closes escrow again on the resale known as a “flip.” Just for the record, the flip rules written and enforced by the government don’t always apply to homes controlled by the government. Controlled by the government exceptions include sales of HUD homes, foreclosures by a state or federally chartered bank, GSE’s (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.), sales by any local or state agency, and non-profits approved to purchase and flip HUD REO properties, to name a few. FHA guidelines do not allow for flips that the seller has owned less than 30 days, without one of their documented exemptions. Flips with less than 90 days since the seller Aacquisition which are being sold for more than 120 percent of the previous purchase price will require a second appraisal as well as a home inspection with evidence that all repairs and renovations have been made with an executed property inspection certification. Homes that increase less than 120 percent since the seller acquisition may also require a second appraisal and the loan amount will be on the lesser of the two appraisals. The cost of any second appraisal cannot be paid for or reimbursable by the buyer. Scratch the surface Issues discussed here only

New mortgage rules protect against risky loans Jason Alderman Special to the Valley News Good news for people shopping for a mortgage, and for current homeowners facing foreclosure because they can no longer afford their home loan: new mortgage regulations drafted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provide a slew of new rights and protections for consumers. One of the cornerstones of the new mortgage rules is that lenders now are required to evaluate whether borrowers can afford to repay a mortgage over the long term – that is, after the initial teaser rate has expired. Otherwise, the loan won’t be considered what’s now referred to as a “qualified mortgage.” Qualified mortgages are designed to help protect consumers from the kinds of risky loans that brought the housing market to its knees back in 2008. But obtaining that designation is also important to lenders because it will help protect them from lawsuits by borrowers who later prove unable to pay off their loans. Under the new ability-to-pay rules, lenders now must assess – and document – multiple components of the borrower’s financial state before offering a mortgage, including the borrower’s income, savings and other assets, debt, employment status and credit history, as well as other anticipated mortgage-related costs. Qualified mortgages must meet the following guidelines: * The term can’t be longer than 30 years. * Interest-only, negative amortization and balloon-payment loans

aren’t allowed. * Loans over $100,000 can’t have upfront points and fees that exceed 3 percent of the total loan amount. * If the loan has an adjustable interest rate, the lender must ensure that the borrower qualifies at the fully indexed rate (the highest rate to which it might climb), versus the initial teaser rate. * Generally, borrowers must have a total monthly debt-toincome ratio of 43 percent or less. * Loans that are eligible to be bought, guaranteed or insured by government agencies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration are considered qualified mortgages until at least 2021, even if they don’t meet all QM requirements. Lenders may still issue mortgages that aren’t qualified, provided they reasonably believe borrowers can repay – and have documentation to back up that assessment. New, tougher regulations also apply to mortgage servicers – the companies responsible for collecting payments and managing customer service for the loan owners. For example, they now must: * Send borrowers clear monthly statements that show how payments are being credited, including a breakdown of payments by principal, interest, fees and escrow. * Fix mistakes and respond to

borrower inquiries promptly. * Credit payments on the date received. * Provide early notice to borrowers with adjustable-rate mortgages when their rate is about to change. * Contact most borrowers by the time they are 36 days late with their payment. * Inform borrowers who fall behind on mortgage payments of all available alternatives to foreclosure (e.g., payment deferment or loan modification). With limited exceptions, mortgage servicers now cannot initiate foreclosures until borrowers are more than 120 days delinquent (allowing time to apply for a loan modification or other alternative); start foreclosure proceedings while also working with a homeowner who has already submitted a complete application for help; or hold a foreclosure sale until all other alternatives have been considered. For more details on the new mortgage rules, visit www.consumerfinance.gov/mortgage. Bottom line: You should never enter into a mortgage (or other loan) you can’t understand or afford. But it’s nice to know that stronger regulations are now in place to help prevent another housing meltdown. Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

scratch the surface of some of the changes in the world of mortgages and how they affect transactions and the various parties involved. The bottom line is the new law is in effect and it’s the way business is done today. It’s always amazing how often someone will boast of their experience in buying a home in the past and think it’s all the same. My advice is to find yourself a good team to work with – a qualified REALTOR® and a qualified NMLS licensed mortgage lender who can work together to help you navigate the minefield of home financing. Be open, honest and forthright with your team. Remember they are on your side – they have a fiduciary responsibility to protect your rights and help provide you with the right council so that you can make the right decisions. Just

Rancho Christian scores new VP and head football coach Premier Orange County coach brings 21+ years of experience

Courtesy photo Legendary Orange Lutheran Coach Jim Kunau joins Rancho Christian School staff as VP of schools and head football coach.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer Rancho Christian School announced the hiring of Jim Kunau as the Vice-President of Schools: Strategic Leadership and Planning as well as Head Football Coach. Kunau’s faith-centered career in

education is hallmarked by his passion for the character and leadership development of young people. Kunau has a strong commitment to academic innovation and achievement and the pursuit of athletic and artistic excellence. Kunau had spent 21 years at Orange Lutheran, nineteen as head

football coach, bringing a small schools program from humble beginnings with nineteen players to one of California’s most successful Division II and Division I programs that has gained national recognition. Kunau started coaching at Orange Lutheran as a varsity assistant basketball coach and JV basketball coach (1991-1996). He taught history for five years (1992-1997). He was also Athletic Director there for five years (1997-2002). As head football coach, Kunau compiled a 182-52-3 record. He coached the Lancers to thirteen league championships (eleven straight) in what is considered one of the toughest leagues in the state – the Trinity League -- and two CIF Southern Section Championships (Division VI in 2004 and PAC-5 Division in 2006). His 2006 team went 14-1 and also won the first Division II State Bowl Championship. His 2005 team beat Mater Dei 27-21 even after Kunau had suspended eighteen players for misconduct. Kunau was named Orange County Register’s “Coach of the Decade” (2000-2010); “Nike National Coach of the Year” and “Nike California Coach of the Year”; CIF Division VI Coach of the Year (2004) and “PAC-5 Coach of the Year” (2006); LA Times

“Southern California Coach of the Year” (2004); and Orange County Register’s “Coach of the Year” (2004). Kunau also was named to coach two All-Star teams – CIF “Prep Star All-Star Game” and the ESPN/Under Armor “National All-Star game” in Orlando, Florida. Kunau was awarded the Coaches of Influence Award for “Exemplary Christian Leadership” and the CIF’s “Champions of Character Award”. At the CIF Award ceremony, Kunau said he emphasizes faith first, character second, education third, and winning fourth. “Our mission is to build champions for life,” said Kunau, “When you have a strong foundation, that’s how you build tremendous team character and unity.” Following his time at Orange Lutheran, Kunau was hired at Concordia University in Irvine as an assistant professor for the Masters in Coaching and Athletic Administration program. According to a Concordia media release, “Kunau will serve a large number of coaches in cultivating their coaching abilities and deepening their impact.” Kunau taught courses in Leadership and Ethics. Kunau taught for five years in Cal Lutheran’s MBA program in the 1990’s. He was also Director of the American Leadership Institute for five years (2003-2008). His book Building

Champions for Life – co-authored with Dr. Kent Schlichtemeier – is slated for publication this summer. Kunau spent last season at Canyon High School in Anaheim. The Comanches had not had a winning season since 2008. They were 3-7 in 2012 and 0-10 in 2011. The program experienced a pre-season challenge with the death of one of their players, Mitchell Cook, due to a pre-existing heart condition. In addition, a number of starters were out with injuries early; however, under Kunau, the Comanches overcame and finished 4-2 in the Century League, qualifying for playoffs; they lost to top-seeded La Habra. Rancho Christian’s interim head coach, Jimmy Kemmis – who had won a CIF title coaching Linfield Christian in 2009 – will be serving on Kunau’s staff. The Eagles fielded a team of 31 and went 5-5 this past season. “Jim’s vast experience in growing exceptional private schools made him the perfect hire as our Vice President of Strategic Leadership for all of Rancho Christian Schools,” said Rancho Community Church President and Senior Pastor Scott Treadway. “His football resume will also serve us well on our coaching staff. We are very excited about our latest addition to the Rancho Christian family.”

Local football star makes roster for LA KISS Paul Bandong Staff Writer The LA KISS Arena Football Team debuted their unique spectacle of Rock ‘n Roll, fireworks and pyrotechnics, numerous dance troupes, BMX bikers, flashy uniforms and football in their April 7 home opener. The National Anthem was played on electric guitar, bikini-clad dancers were suspended in cages above the field, players (WR Donovan Morgan and DB Andre Jones) were lowered from the Honda Center ceiling, and the heavy-metal band Steel Panther performed during a laser show. Defensive back Romeo Pellum picked off a pass and returned it 41 yards for a TD for the first score of the game and a 7-0 lead over the Portland Thunder. Morgan caught four TD passes. Middle linebacker Beau Bell set a league record of six sacks. The KISS won 44-34. Team owners Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from the legendary band KISS are behind the unique

Chaparral’s Tyler Hansen

marketing mix that seeks to bring high entertainment value to the Arena Football League. Beneath all the hype and spectacle are solid football players, many from quality football programs like Oregon, Nebraska, Penn State, West Virginia. Among them is a local star – quarterback Tyler Hansen from Chaparral High School. Hansen was a three-year varsity letterman and two-year team captain as a Puma, All-CIF, All-Valley, and the Southwestern League Player of the Year. He earned the Riverside County Sportsmanship Award and Chaparral’s Athlete of the Year. In his senior year Hansen completed 63% of his passes for 1,652 yards and ten touchdowns; he also rushed for 570 yards and nine touchdowns. He also lettered twice in baseball and once in track. Hansen played four years at the University of Colorado where he finished fourth on the all time career lists for passing yards (5,705), third in pass completions (505), third in passing attempts (872),

fourth in TD passes (35), fourth in total offense (6,183). He started 21 games for the Buffalos. In his senior year, he set or tied eleven UC offensive records. His top game came in a 36-33 overtime loss to Cal. Hansen completed 28-of-49 passes for 474 yards and three TD’s. Hansen is the current back-up QB for the LA KISS. The KISS won their opener 4138 over the San Antonio Talons, but lost 69-63 to the Orland Predators. On April 12, they fell just short, losing 40-30 to the undefeated Cleveland Gladiators, despite a three-TD performance from Morgan and a 4-TD, 259-yard total by QB JJ Raterink. The LA KISS are on the road next Saturday, April 19 to take on the Iowa Barnstormers; game time is 5 pm (PST). Single game tickets are on sale at Ticketmaster.com or the Honda Center box office.

Struggling Storm hope to bring thunder to Rancho Cucamonga before next home stand Thursday, April 10. Lake Elsinore dropped their first game at home 6-5, but it was a close one and moreover the crowds were really just extremely excited that professional baseball is back here locally. “Lancaster has some great talent, but it’s early in the season and our boys are young. I expect you will see a different team after they start gelling here real soon,” said Storm General Manager Raj Narayanan. With some help from Tyler Zickel, assistant director of Storm Media relations, here is a couple quick recaps from the games that took place over the weekend.

JP Raineri Sports Writer After splitting their first fourgame road series with the Lancaster Jethawks, the Storm went

on to drop two more in a threegame series with the High Desert Mavericks before welcoming the Jethawks to the Diamond for the first home series of the season this past weekend.

Each game of the series welcomed many of the local youth baseball and softball leagues and with the giveaways the Storm have planned for the season, it’s no wonder the season opener sold out on

Fielding miscues lead to fourth straight loss for Storm A season-high six errors doomed the Storm Saturday night in a 7-2 loss to the Lancaster JetHawks, extending the team’s losing streak to four games. For the second consecutive night the JetHawks would strike in the first inning. Anthony Kemp led off with a single and would advance to third on a stolen base followed by a throwing error. Teoscar Hernandez reached via walk and promptly stole second to put two men in scoring position with no outs.

Two batters later, Rio Ruiz hit a dribbler to Storm starter Bryan Rodriguez, but the righty couldn’t make the play and sent his throw skipping down the right field line to allow both runners to score. Despite the early deficit, the Storm answered in the bottom of the inning. Casey McElroy was issued a free pass and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After a second walk, Gabriel Quintana drilled a double to center that plated McElroy. From the fourth inning on it was all Jethawks. The visitors scored two in the top of the fourth and added another pair in the seventh, while the Storm bats couldn’t gain any traction against ‘Hawks pitching. Lancaster wrapped up their seventh consecutive win in convincing fashion, calming the Storm for a 7-2 victory. Dieg-gone: Goris blasts WalkOff to win it for the Storm After losing four in a row, the Storm were in desperate need of a spark. They got that and more thanks to an eleventh inning walkoff blast from Diego Goris that secured a 3-2 win over the Lancaster

Sports HS baseball: Great Oak beats mighty Temecula Valley; both teams ranked in Top 50 in nation Wolfpack stuns number one Golden Bears, sit atop latest CIF rankings

STORM, from page B-1 JetHawks Sunday afternoon at The Diamond. The Storm jumped out to an early lead in the first. Alberth Martinez led off with a single, and a Hunter Renfroe walk moved Martinez to second. Gabriel Quintana drove a one-out single to center in the next at-bat, allowing Martinez to score thanks in part to an error by centerfielder Teoscar Hernandez. With his team up after one, Storm starter Joe Ross proved his worth as a first-round pick. The 6’4” righty turned in another superb outing, scattering four hits over five innings of work while striking out six. Both teams were held scoreless until the bottom of the eighth. Corey Adamson flied one to right for an apparent pop out, but the late afternoon sun blinded Danry Vasquez and allowed Adamson

to reach second base on the error. Martinez singled in the next at-bat, and the Jethawks would trade a run for an out on a Reynaldo Bruguera groundball. The JetHawks threatened in both the ninth and the tenth innings, but a gritty performance from Trevor Gott combined with a number of superb defensive plays kept the game tied into the eleventh. Goris did the rest, driving a nodoubter to left for his first home run of the season and the Storm’s first home victory in 2014. With the win, the Storm (4-7) salvage the series with the JetHawks (8-3) and will try and carry their momentum into tomorrow’s game against the Quakes (5-6) in Rancho Cucamonga. Zach Eflin (1-1) will make his third start of the season while southpaw Julio Urias (0-0) gets the call for the Dodgers affiliate.

Eflin and Renfroe quell Quakes in shutout win Zach Eflin threw six scoreless innings and Hunter Renfroe went two for four with four RBIs in a 5-0 Storm victory Monday night, April 14 against the Ranco Cucamonga Quakes, shutting out an opponent for the first time this season. With the victory, the Storm (5-7) have won consecutive games for the second time this season. They went for three in a row against the Quakes (5-7) at LoanMart Field in Rancho Cucamonga on April 15. You can catch every Storm game live on 94.5 KMYT FM or online at iHeartRadio.com. For news, scores, contests and giveaways make sure to follow the Storm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For tickets and more information visit stormbaseball.com or call the front office at (951) 245-4487.

The Wolfpack went up 7-3 in the fifth inning and despite a late charge by TV, they held on to beat the Golden Bears 7-6.

Players from Lake Elsinore and Lancaster line up as they get ready to launch the Storm’s 20th season of minor league baseball. Great Oak slid into the top spot in Division 2 Kim Boyer Gardner photos baseball pushing Temecula Valley to the #2 spot.

Charles Mckee, JP Raineri Sports Writers Trailing by three, the Golden Bears rallied to tie the score in their half of the fifth inning. It would be a short lived tie. The Wolfpack answered immediately in their half of the fifth with four runs to go up 7-3, Great Oak held on as Temecula Valley chipped away at their lead with two runs in the sixth and another in the seventh. The Golden Bears fell one run short and lost their first league game of the season. Great Oak’s victory had dropped Temecula Valley into a three way tie for first place in the Southwestern League with the Wolfpack and the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks, but TVHS took the Nighthawks down at home two days later, giving both TV and Great oak league records of 4-1. Great Oak sophomore Zack Knoll scattered seven hits and gave up five runs over five innings to pick up the victory for the Wolfpack. Junior Zack Hayes was credited with the save. Junior Mitch Hayes went

1-for-3 scored two runs and knocked in another to spark the Wolpack. Logan Mason also had a hit, scored and had two RBIs. Sophomore Brandon Stewart doubled in two runs in the win. Jordan Gardner was 3-for-3 scored and had an RBI for Temecula Valley. AJ Sawyer went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI and David Maldonaldo homered for the Golden Bears. According the latest CIF polls, with the win over TV, Great Oak (14-3) took over the top spot in Division 2 baseball pushing Temecula Valley (13-2) to the #2 spot and despite three league losses, Vista Murrieta (12-4) jumped two spots to #4 due to their championship game appearance in the Boras Classic. Temecula Valley fell 13 spots to #33 in the MaxPreps Xcellent 50 National Baseball Rankings and Great Oak who was not ranked last week is sitting right behind the Golden Bears at #34. Great Oak has wins over Temecula Valley, Cypress, Bishop Amat, Norco and Serra (Gardena).

Temecula Valley Heart Walk celebrates fourth year at Lake Skinner, May 3 TEMECULA – The American Heart Association invites the community to form a team and join the Temecula Valley Heart Walk at Lake Skinner in Winchester on Saturday, May 3. The annual 5k, sponsored nationally by Subway and locally by Abbott Vascular, aims to raise $150,000 for the fight against heart disease and stroke – the nation’s No. 1 and No. 4 killers. The Heart Walk also aims to build healthier lives by promoting healthy habits, such as walking, as a regular part of life.

From 7 to 11 a.m., the day’s main events include a non-competitive 5K walk (3.1 miles) and one-mile Survivor Path. There will also be a Health and Wellness Expo offering health screenings, Survivor Lounge, Kids Zone featuring interactive games and heart-health information, VIP tent for sponsors and top fundraisers and local entertainment. There is no fee to participate, however, participants are encouraged to help raise funds. Walkers are eligible to receive a free Heart Walk t-shirt when they raise $100 or more.

Heart disease and stroke claims more than 831,000 lives each year. The American Heart Association aims to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular disease and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020. The Heart Walk brings communities together to help achieve this goal, raising funds to support lifesaving cardiovascular research, community education outreach and improvement of patient care.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month RIVERSIDE COUNTY – Ann Harkins, CEO of The National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) and Keli Wilson, AlertID founder, are teaming up to create awareness and support victims during Sexual Assault Awareness Month. According to government reports, a sexual assault occurs every two seconds in America. Unfortunately, these incidents are reported less frequently than any other violent crime as only a small percentage of brave survivors are willing to step forward to report their assaults and participate in the criminal justice process. With more than 200,000 reported incidents of sexual violence occurring each year, these two organizations are working

together in an effort to raise awareness and to stress prevention of sexual assault as well as to support victims. “Those who suffer sexual assaults need to know they are not alone and isolated,” said Harkins. “There are resources available to help survivors, and NCPC has resources to help people learn how to take proactive measures to increase their personal safety and reduce potential victimization. We are proud to team with AlertID and its platform to provide up-to-theminute information that can help our families, friends, and neighbors stay safe.” Wilson said supporting victims is of great importance, but she also wants to emphasize the importance

of prevention. AlertID informs of the dangers in a neighborhood and allows residents to communicate with neighbors very quickly. The free program offers crime and sex offender alerts, in addition to other important public safety alerts and prevention tips online, via email and on smartphones. “Information is power, and the more we are aware of the dangers in our neighborhoods and the more proactive we are, the better we can protect ourselves, our children and our families,” said Wilson. For prevention tips and resource information on sexual assault from AlertID, developed in conjunction with the National Crime Prevention Council, go to http://alertid.com/ search/sex-crimes.asp.

District attorney Zellerbach joins with others to support human trafficking bill RIVERSIDE – On April 7, Riverside County District Attorney Paul Zellerbach joined with State Senator Marty Block and officials from the District Attorney’s Offices in San Diego, Orange and Alameda counties at a news conference in San Diego to support the passage of Senate Bill 939. The bill would make it possible for prosecutors to file multiple charges against a defendant who commits human trafficking-related crimes in multiple jurisdictions across California and would hold them accountable in a single prosecution. The proposed law would eliminate multiple trials in different jurisdictions thus streamlining prosecutions, saving taxpayer dollars, and sparing human trafficking victims the trauma of facing their traffickers in more than one trial. “It is estimated that 21 million men, women, and children are being trafficked for commercial sex or

forced labor worldwide,” Zellerbach said. “The United Nations estimates that human trafficking is a $32 billion a year industry. Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States and in Southern California.” “Senate Bill 939, authored by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, will create a unified process for conducting a single trial related to all human trafficking and related offenses that may occur in multiple jurisdictions. It thwarts efforts by organized criminals to exploit jurisdictional boundaries,” Zellerbach said. SB939 will amend current Penal Code section 787.4 to add human traffickers and exploiters to the list of crimes that are committed by serial perpetrators such as child molesters and rapists to hold them accountable for all crimes in any jurisdiction in which they operate. The Riverside County Anti-Hu-

man Trafficking task force (RCAHT) was formed in 2010 and is a collaborative partnership which includes the DA’s Office, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s Office, and the county Probation Department as well as Operation SafeHouse which provides services to victims. Since Jan. 1, 2012, the RCAHT task force has investigated 160 human trafficking leads coming in from a variety of sources. Since the formation of the task force, Operation SafeHouse has provided services to 169 human-trafficking victims. Potential human trafficking situations can be reported at anytime to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center by calling toll-free (888) 373-7888. The RCAHT task force can be contacted via email at ht@riversidesheriff.org or via an anonymous toll-free reporting line at (855) 758-3733.

Pizza can be healthy with a few minor revisions

Boost your fiber by choosing whole-wheat crust.

Rethink your pizza for a healthier meal.

P

izza may have had humble beginnings, but today it is one of the most popular foods worldwide. More than five billion pizzas are sold across the globe each year, and pizza accounts for 10 percent of all food-service sales. Although pizza has many positive attributes, few consider pizza a healthy meal. Laden with cheese and high-calorie meats, pizza is often referred to as a guilty pleasure. However, there are a variety of ways to make the pizza you love better for your body. Downplay the cheese. Pizza originated in Naples, Italy, and it has been said the first pizzas were comprised of just dough and sauce and no cheese. Restaurants that favor more authentic pizzas of the past will not rely heavily on cheese when preparing their pizzas.

Diego Mondragon.

Diego Mondragon will be performing May 11 at the Annual Mother’s Day Brunch at Thornton Winery & Restaurant. The brunch runs from 11 am to 4 pm and features violinist Mondragon from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm. Reservations are accepted as the brunch is always a sell-out. Mondragon believes that any dream can be achieved. He practices as a school psychologist and teaches while pursuing his underlying passion for music. Born in Mexico City and raised in California from age five, Mondragon is genuinely bicultural, yet he has a deep respect and value for his Mexican, French and Spanish heritage. At age seven he was taught by his father; his first teacher in the study of violin whom was also an acclaimed violinist with the Magic Violins of Villa Fontana. Classically trained, Mondragon played his first solo violin concerto at age 10 and later became the first chair in the South Bay Youth Orchestra in San Diego. Mondragon has played for

presidents Ronald Reagan and Roberto de La Madrid of Mexico. He has performed in venues in Cuba, Paris, Barcelona, England, Italy and Japan. Today, with a new CD out, “Corazon de Mondragon,” eight original compositions which he describes as a mixture of acoustic-jazz, Latin-Jazz, flamenco and romance, his band plays in major events throughout California and abroad. As a performer, Mondragon believes; “music has the ability to inevitably tap the still, mysterious deep well of our emotions. Music can recreate emotions and get the listeners involved with the performer’s emotions. Listeners are in an emotional state while listening to that music and often we hear them say “this is my song” and feel that special emotion each time they hear the song. Music is created from the heart and molded by emotion.” Thornton Winery & Restaurant is located at 32575 Rancho California Road in Temecula. Reservations can be made by calling (951) 699-0099.

omen are busier today than ever before. The demands of work and the responsibilities of family life can dominate a woman’s time, making it increasingly difficult to find time to kick back and relax. As their careers take off and families grow, many women find it challenging to make time for social interactions, particularly with their female friends. But ladies’ night out is a great way to relieve stress and maintain social contacts. Making time to hang out with friends can be good for the body and mind. When planning a ladies’ night out, give several weeks’ worth of notice so more people can carve out time to attend. Begin plans for a get-together a month or more in advance, asking friends which dates work and which will not. Treat a night out with friends just like you would any important obligation.

Orange blossoms waft through the air

April brings aromatic blossoms as signal of new fruit Debbie Ramsey Staff Writer The heady scent of orange blossoms are wafting through the air of Fallbrook this month, as the many trees and groves found locally move into peak blooming season. Since orange blossoms are viewed as a sign of good luck, they have been freely used in celebrations, like weddings. The attractive blossoms are perfect for many uses, but are key to the evolution of this fruit. The growing process Citrus trees bloom here in the spring in order to produce fruit later in the year, which usually takes five months or more for oranges, depending on the variety. Orange trees will typically lose up to 80 percent of those flowers in the first “drop;” these are the flowers that were un-pollinated. A second drop of flowers occurs when the new oranges are the size of a marble; a third drop takes place when the fruit is almost full-size. This process provides a way for the tree to help the very best fruit survive. Since Fallbrook is a town of rolling hills and microclimates, orange trees can bloom in some areas first, and other areas of the town later. Whether trees are planted simply as family fruit, for decorative (and useful) purposes in containers on a patio, or as a producing grove, the fragrant spring blooms signal the arrival of warmer weather and fruit growth.

Beekeeping is alive and well in the Fallbrook area and in many cases, hives are purposefully placed in orange groves during the blooming season in order to produce orange blossom honey, which is very desirable in the retail market. Basics of growing oranges Orange trees are sun worshippers. It is important to allow them an environment with a lot of sunlight. Be cautious not to plant them underneath other trees or in the back corner of a patio. Fall is the time to prune citrus trees, removing dead branches. This makes sure that nutrients go to only strong areas of the tree. Insects that find orange trees attractive include aphids, mealy bugs, ants, and leaf miner. “Aphids and mealy bugs produce a sugary substance that then attracts ants,” explained Ed Warr, assistant store manager of Grangetto’s Farm & Garden Supply in Fallbrook. “For that problem, we generally recommend Neem Oil.” For leaf miner, Warr said he recommends a product with the active ingredient Spinosad, like Captain Jack’s Deadbug. Most importantly, he said, customers need to read all labels carefully before making a decision whether they wish to use a particular product or not. “Leaf miner has either become very prevalent or more people are becoming aware of it,” said Warr, noting that he has seen a steady increase in customers addressing the problem over the past few years.

While there are specific recommendations for the various pest problems with citrus trees, Warr said that really the best way to address issues is to have a leaf analysis done. “That can identify various problems, including micronutrients that the tree might need.” Grangetto’s recommends customers locally to Fallbrook Ag Lab for that service. Experts advise watering orange trees more sparingly in the early winter, so as to provide better blooms. They say not to restrict water altogether, just apply lightly. From December to February, they say to water orange trees once every two weeks. As spring approaches, it becomes necessary to water once per week. The drought condition in Southern California has led to increasing insect problems for citrus trees. “Drought causes stress to the trees and then they get insects such as thrips,” said Warr. In managing the serious malady of the asain

psyllid, Grangetto’s recommends Bayer Advanced “Fruit, Citrus & Vegetables” spray, with the active ingredient Imidacloprid, an insect neurotoxin. However, because it is a systemic treatment, one must be careful about the strength of any treatment like this if they wish to consume the fruit after the application. Authorities say to fertilize orange trees three times each year, at even intervals. “We recommend spring, mid-

Springtime Orange Cake

Orange Blossom Water

An easy dessert to make that is sure to impress guests is a Springtime Orange Cake. Simply begin with a box of white cake mix (any brand). Follow the normal preparation instructions using the option of all egg whites (no yolks), and substitute freshly squeezed (and strained) orange juice for the water called for. The cake will be a very faint peach color, so if desired, add one drop of yellow food coloring and one drop of red, to make the cake more orange in color. Bake in any form desired – single layer, double layer, or cupcakes according to cake mix instructions. Frost with a simple, homemade frosting, using freshly squeezed (and strained) orange juice. Begin with two cups powdered sugar. To sugar, add two tablespoons softened butter, two tablespoons of the freshly squeezed (and strained) orange juice, and one-half teaspoon freshly-grated orange zest (rind). Beat until smooth. Frosting will be a faint peach color with the flecks of zest. Again, for a more orange color, a bit of yellow and red food colorings can be used to tint frosting as desired. As soon as cake (or cupcakes) has cooled, top with frosting. Slices of fresh orange can be artfully arranged atop cake or cupcakes for better serving presentation.

The essence of orange blossoms has been used for a very long time in making perfumes and has a colorful history as an aphrodisiac as well. In addition, the use of orange blossom water is legendary in historical accounts as well. In France, raising bitter orange trees was a longstanding tradition for the sole purpose of making this attractively scented liquid, which has been used in many ways. Orange blossom water has been used in beauty treatments, to scent linens, and to make dessert delicacies. French and Middle Eastern cuisine have featured this in numerous recipes. It takes about an hour to prepare orange blossom water, but then it needs several weeks to “steep.” *Pick fresh orange blossoms that have not been sprayed with pesticides, insecticides, etc. in the early morning hours (before sun gets warm). Discard any blossoms that have been chewed on or have bad spots. *Pick the petals off the blossoms (discard the bud) and wash petals in

summer, and fall,” said Warr. “I like to recommend a balanced fertilizer like 15-15-15. A mature tree will take four to six lbs. of fertilizer, three times per year.” The experts at Grangetto’s welcome any and all questions about landscape, plants, irrigation, vegetable gardens, and trees. The store is located at 530 E. Alvarado Street in Fallbrook. Visit www.grangettos. com for educational information as well.

cool water; rinse thoroughly to remove dirt and insects *With moisture still clinging to the petals (although rinsed), use a stone or mortar and pestle to grind the petals into a paste-like substance. Let sit for a few hours like this. *Place the petal material into a large glass jar with lid and cover with distilled water. Do not over-fill with water, more can be added later. A rule of thumb is about 1/2 cup of water for every dozen blossoms. *Let the jar stand in the full sun for two weeks. *Check the scent of the petal liquid. If it smells too weak, leave it in the sun for an additional week. If the orange flower water ends up being too strong, you can always add distilled water later. *Strain the petal water (with cheesecloth) into several smaller sterilized jars with lids. *Store in a cool, dark place. If stored in a cabinet, it’s shelf life is about one year; if stored in the refrigerator, it should last for up to three years.

What to choose – vegetable garden or flower garden? INLAND EMPIRE – Sometimes gardeners appear to be senators on opposite sides of the aisle when deciding whether to endorse vegetable gardening or flower gardening. Each have very strong opinions as to why they have chosen one or the other. But in the spirit of bipartisanship, why not do both in the same garden? If taking such a grand leap into the other party’s dogma is just a bit too scary, why not inch into it? If one is a vegetable gardener, it’s possible to create small arcs of annuals on the outside edge of each corner of the garden, creating a surround of color just as one would their mailbox. Flowers attract pollinators, which in turn pollinate tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and other fruiting types. Flowers provide nectar and pollen to the beneficial insects, which in turn prey on pests. Confuse insect pests searching for their favorite vegetable plants to feed upon by mixing up the beds with flowers. And flowers will attract birds looking for seeds, but who are delightfully happy to settle for eating insects that are unwanted in a garden. This is especially helpful if one is trying to have an organic garden. Whether vegetables and herbs are being grown in big, raised beds, in window boxes, or in containers, the same rules apply. Gardeners are always searching for a variety of color, texture, and color, along with varying height. Lobelia, with over 350 species, is an ideal addition to any container garden, whether one is opting for the trailing varieties, with billowing masses of blossoms, or more compact bedding types that seldom exceed six inches in height. As they sport one-half to three-fourths of an

inch diameter flowers that come in red, white, and blue, a container filled with all lobelia could be a patriotic nod for a Fourth of July barbecue. Why not add snapdragons for height? Plant them in the back of a container, with a center of herbal plantings, and a border of trailing lobelias. The dwarf varieties grow to about 10 inches, while the taller types grow to a height of 18 to 24 inches, and come in a fantastic array of colors, from red to orange, yellow, lavender, and white. The bright blue of bachelor’s buttons (also known as cornflowers) is an attractant for pollinating bees. Candytuft, an old-fashioned annual, attracts hoverflies that are excellent pollinators. It also provides nectar for other beneficial insects and a cover for good-guy beetles. The easy-to-grow calendula feeds many predatory insects with its abundance of pollen, along with nectar for butterflies; a visual enchantment. The tall, fern-like cosmos add height and cheeriness to your late summer veggie garden. It’s a jack-of-all-trades, attracting bees, hoverflies, parasitic wasps, butterflies, and many small birds. One favorite annual in a vegetable garden was also a favorite of the Aztecs, who believed that marigolds protected their crops; planting a ring of them around the garden wards off parasitic nematodes. Plant them in amongst the vegetables and they will draw many pollinators and parasitic wasps. They will bloom all summer long, need little attention and come with pompom flowers or tiny, daisy-like blooms. Keep in mind a cardinal rule of an interesting garden, whether it be a vegetable garden or a flower garden, is that variations in height

will always be more interesting to view. Start with a border of sweet alyssum which hides the beetles that feed on insects and pests. The flowers are a rich source of nectar for a number of pollinators. Then add in vining and dwarf forms of nasturtium, which are strong pollinators and a great trap crop for aphids. When planted alongside cucumbers and squash, they confuse attacking pests. Top it all off with big, bouncy, colorful sunflowers. They attract many beneficial insects, produce nectar for butterflies, and bring birds to a garden to nosh not only on their seeds, but also on proximal insects. If a person has only created flower gardens, they can flirt with the other side by incorporating edible herbs and vegetables into their beds. Bergamot, or bee balm, is a perennial herb with minty leaves and attractive flowers that will attract bees and hummingbirds. Garlic chives provide a light flavor and scent, and look like tall clumps of grass; their pretty, white flowers self-seed prolifically. Combine with onion chives, which sport purple flowers. Scented geraniums provide a wonderful variety of aromas; rose, peppermint, lemon, lime, orange, strawberry, apple, almond, and mint, with a variety of foliage available. As scent is so important to a flower garden, a must-include is lemon thyme, which likes a lot of sun. Mint spreads rapidly, and will tolerate the shadier sections of a flower garden; perfect for brewed tea, and a grand garnish in sorbet. With the recent rise in the popularity of Thai-inspired cooking, lemongrass is a perfect herb to include in a flower garden, with its lemon-flavored leaves that are

an attractive blue-green shaded ornamental grass. And of course, rosemary, with its strong aroma and variegated spikes, adds height, scent and taste to your flower garden. It’s possible to join forces and recognize the assets of both vege-

table and flower gardens. When the bill of fare includes color, texture, scent, attractiveness to bees, birds, butterflies and hummingbirds, and taste that enhances our dining pleasure, isn’t it one bill that simply must be passed?

Temecula Prep hosts 40 students from Japanese junior high

Temecula Preparatory School (TPS) hosted approximately 40 Japanese students from Sasebo Kita Junior High School from March 26-28. Courtesy photos

TEMECULA – Temecula Preparatory School (TPS) hosted approximately 40 Japanese students from Sasebo Kita Junior High School from March 26-28. The students from Sasebo Kita Junior High were scheduled to tour the cities of Temecula and Murrieta from March 25 through April 1 and Temecula Preparatory School was one of their stops, so that they could participate in and observe the American public school experience. During their visit to campus, 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students from TPS escorted the Japanese students throughout the day to and from classes to share ideas and cultural experiences, in order to learn from one another.

Mr. Ueno, along with his Cultural Anthropology class, created a banner for the visitors that the TPS students signed as a parting gift in remembrance of their special time.

As a part of their American cultural experience, the Japanese students from Sasebo Kita Jr. High attended the 8th grade’s Cotillion dance practice. They were so interested in the dances that the TPS students were learning (i.e. the Waltz and the Fox Trot) that some of them joined in! One of TPS’ faculty members, Mr. Ueno, along with his Cultural Anthropology class, created a banner for the visitors that the TPS students signed as a parting gift in remembrance of their special time. Each Japanese student was presented with a “Certificate of Appreciation” from their TPS counterpart in honor of their visit to TPS’ campus. Renee Huskey, dean of culture

at TPS, who coordinated the visit, said, “It was a pleasure to see the students interacting during the day in the classrooms and especially during the break times. This was a very enriching and fun experience for all of the students and I have a feeling that many of our students will keep in touch with their new friends from Japan.” Shoh Ueno, an upper school faculty member at TPS who teaches Moral Philosophy, said, “It was an absolute pleasure to be useful this week to our campus guests from Japan. Figuring out how to address the differences between Japanese and American cultures has been a lifelong process for me on a personal, internal level, so it was a tremendous

would discuss in depth why some responses are right, and some are wrong, even in math class. I was very excited to hear this observation because it makes apparent that classical education transcends culture and language. I briefly described to them that we see a great need, not only to teach correct answers, but even more so to empower students with the skills to understand why the answers are correct. They were deeply impressed.” According to Dr. Angelika Robinson, the mother of a student at TPS, her son said to her, “Mom, I already miss my buddy!” Dr.Robinson went on to say, “What an amazing experience for all of our TPS students!”

honor for me to see that struggle bearing usefulness in practical ways. “The Japanese students whom I spoke with expressed how much they enjoyed being on TPS’ campus. Each day, they wrote entries in a journal, which the teachers read and passed back in the morning. Most wrote that they were excited for the next day! “Later on, the teachers explained to me how they noticed something very different about our classes. They remarked how boldly students would explain their answers without fear of failure. “In Japan, students feel great pressure to answer correctly, but at Temecula Prep, these teachers saw that students and teachers

Rein in prom expenses by splitting limo costs, hosting pre-prom dinner

Jason Alderman Special to the Valley News If you’ve got teenagers, you already know how expensive high school can be. Besides food, clothing and school supplies, a whole

host of extracurricular activities are competing for a share of your wallet – even as you frantically try to save for college and your own retirement. One of the biggest expenses you’ll encounter is prom. Gone are the days of borrowing dad’s suit and crepe paper streamers in the school gym. Today’s proms are often more like a Hollywood premiere with limousines, designer gowns and swanky after-parties. I’m not kidding. According to a recent nationwide survey conducted by Visa Inc., the average U.S. family with a high school student attending the prom expects to spend $978 this year. Surprisingly, that’s down 14 percent from last year’s survey average of $1,139 per family. A few other interesting statistics the survey uncovered: * On average, parents plan to pay for about 56 percent of prom costs, with their kids picking up the remaining 44 percent. * Parents in lower income brackets (less than $50,000 a year) plan

to spend an average of $733 – a considerable share of the family budget. Thankfully, that’s down significantly from last year’s $1,245 estimate. * Those earning over $50,000 will spend an average of $1,151.

* The couple will probably need at least $50 for a nice pre-prom meal. * After-parties can run anywhere from a few bucks at the bowling alley to hundreds of dollars for group hotel suites.

Here’s a breakdown of how those prom dollars typically get spent: * New prom dresses often cost $100 to $500 or more. * Plan on spending another couple hundred for shoes, accessories, flowers and professionally styled hair, nails and make-up. * New tuxedos cost several hundred dollars, not to mention the formal shirt, tie, studs and shoes you’ll need. Even renting all this will likely run over $150. * Figure at least $80 an hour plus tip to rent a limousine for a minimum of four to six hours. * Prom tickets typically cost $50 to $150 per person, depending on venue, entertainment, meals, etc. And don’t forget about commemorative photos.

As with weddings and vacations, spending on prom can easily spiral out of control, especially if your teenager isn’t used to sticking to a budget. Use this as a learning experience by getting your kid involved making tough decisions, helping to prioritize expenses from vital to non-essential. To help with the prom budgeting process, Visa launched a free smartphone app last year called “Plan’it Prom”. You simply enter your budgeted amounts for each item and then track actual spending on your phone or tablet as you shop. The app also includes budgeting tips, a photo gallery and a timeline for tracking pre-prom deadlines. Plan’it Prom is available at the iTunes store, the Google Play store and from www.

practicalmoneyskills.com/prom. Here are a few prom cost-saving ideas: * Shop for formal wear at consignment stores or online. As with tuxedos, many outlets rent formal dresses and accessories for onetime use. * Have make-up done at a department store’s cosmetics department or find a talented friend to help out. * Split the cost of a limo with other couples, or drive yourselves. * Team up with other parents to host a pre-prom dinner buffet or after-party. * Take pre-prom photos yourself and have the kids use their cell phones or digital cameras for candid shots at various events. Bottom line: You want to ensure your child has a memorable high school experience, but not at the expense of your overall budget. To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Menifee economic development team continues building buzz MENIFEE – Menifee’s Business Incentive Program was recently recognized at the Inland Empire Economic Partnership’s Red Tape to Red Carpet Awards, adding to the growing list of reasons the city is positioned to be the next hotspot for development in Southwest Riverside County. The inaugural event honored government organizations whose programs succeeded in supporting job creation while eliminating barriers to economic growth in the Inland Empire. Menifee’s economic development team was given the “runner-up” award in the Real

Estate Redevelopment and Reuse category. The Business Incentive Program was established last August as a catalyst to accelerate the pace of economic development in Menifee during this post-recession and postRedevelopment Agency era. The program flexibility and incentives to attract high quality businesses and amenities the community desires. The Business Incentive Program also aims to add jobs, to expand the city’s sales tax revenue and to positively impact economic development in Menifee. The program includes things like

public-private partnerships, public financing, special districts, tax rebate agreements and other tools to attract businesses to Menifee. “The Business Incentive Program has brought development opportunities to Menifee that may have gone elsewhere,” said Economic Development Director Jeff Wyman. “We’re thrilled to be recognized for this program that’s helping to bring jobs, amenities and sales tax revenue to our community. It’s also supporting the message

that Menifee is open for business.” Economic development is gaining momentum in Menifee with multiple projects under construction, including the Menifee Town Square featuring Applebees, Jersey Mike’s, and Five Guys Burgers. There are also future plans in review for a new shopping center at Newport and Menifee roads, and the city is also in negotiations on multiple entertainment venue projects. The economic development team

recently explained that Menifee is “Open for Business” during a real estate brokers’ symposium for Southern California commercial brokers/developers. The city’s commitment to improving infrastructure and traffic circulation, along with the community’s desirable demographics and pentup demand for retail, dining and entertainment amenities, are just some of the reasons Menifee is positioned to be the next hot spot for development in the region.

Many business skills are applicable in the nonprofit sector.

INLAND EMPIRE – The growing number of nonprofit organizations and other philanthropic groups has made opportunities for careers in philanthropy more plentiful. Those with professional business experience or even students right out of college often find opportunities within organizations geared to giving back. According to Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis, there are more than 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in the United States alone. These organizations need dedicated staff to run their operations, and employees of

such nonprofits often find there are several advantages to working for charitable organizations. Happier work environments: Working in philanthropy means improving other people’s lives. Employees may be happy in their positions because they realize their work is part of a larger effort to help the less fortunate. The nonprofit sector will attract other like-minded people, and working alongside people with similar interests can make for a more enjoyable workplace environment. Diverse responsibilities: Nonprofit operations are generally

smaller than many other companies, and employees often find themselves with diverse responsibilities and more direct access to management and other decision makers. People interested in dabbling in various parts of a business may find the often intimate nature of the nonprofit sector an ideal fit. Opportunities for travel: Some nonprofits offer the chance to work outside of the country. Nonprofit organizations who work across the globe may help build homes or schools in less developed countries or establish arts and education programs in countries where such opportunities are lacking. A job in the nonprofit sector may allow people to experience new cultures and opportunities that may never present themselves in the private sector. Growth opportunities: Wearing a variety of hats, as many nonprofit employees do on a regular basis, allows those working at nonprofit organizations to build their resumes in ways not available to men and women working at more structured companies. People who work in the nonprofit sector often find that their careers are rewarding for a variety of reasons.
