Great Oak High School hosted Easter egg hunt for special needs children Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
see page B-6
Great Oak High School’s National Honors Society students hosted an Easter egg hunt for local disabled and special needs children at the Go Bananas Farm in Murrieta April 8. The project coordinators partnered up with Go Bananas for the third annual event. Aiming to offer a safe environment for these children from various age ranges, the Easter egg hunt has grown each year. The student chose to host their event one weekend before Easter, hoping to maximize family connections and offer the event to more families. This year nearly 70 families signed up for the event, and more than half came to enjoy the activities offered. Free for all families, the egg hunt featured crafts, coloring books, bubbles, sports balls, bean bag tosses and healthy snacks.

The students began preparing for the egg hunt a year in advance, putting a lot of thought into bringing forth the best event possible for the children. Coordinators Eric Feng, Axel Malahieude, Mauria Hebert, Sabrina Diaz-Gallegos and Karina Di Franco prepared the Easter eggs stuffing them with small toys, temporary tattoos and other nonfood products to avoid the risk of allergies. They also provided supplies for the games at the event. After filling the eggs, buying oranges, pretzels and water, the coordinators invited 20 other National Honor Society members to volunteer at the event. The “helpers in navy shirts” set up the event hours prior and supervised during the event to ensure safety for all the children. The students said they felt “there is a lack of involvement of special needs children in regular child’s

Inmate firefighters readied for ‘extreme’ wildfire season Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Inmates from the Bautista, Norco and other Cal Fire Riverside Unit California Conservation Camps have undergone their strenuous final field tests and learned if their firefighting crews will be assigned to fight the expected extreme wildfires expected this summer in Southern California. The annual Cal Fire Preparation Exercise was conducted last week on the Ramona Cahuilla Indian Reservation near Anza. The exercise involved four test drills to determine if California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Cal Fire District 5 inmate firefighting crews can exhibit their ability to safely suppress wildland fires. The crews, ranging from 11 to 17, were in the four-stage exercise observed and rated in their ability to hike, construct hand lines utilizing hand tools, deployment of fire shelters to
prepare for a life-threatening burn over situation and other drills. In a special “media day” Thursday, April 20, Division ChiefNorthwest Office Riverside County Fire Department Silvio Lanzas, told news representatives that the Riverside exercise was being conducted this year at the Ramona Cahuilla Reservation because they are expecting an “extreme” fire year in the Anza Valley. Lanzas said the area of the exercise was partially chosen because of the terrain. “Up here at this elevation we have the grass culminated with the older more mature dead brush so, up here in the Anza Valley, we have the potential for a large fire -- Bautista Canyon, all those areas-- where we are at is the area where the brush and grass has dried has the potential for a fire is there,” Lanzas said. “It is extreme

San Jacinto soon to offer electric power choice Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The San Jacinto Council has agreed to enter an administrative services contract with the City of Lancaster’s California Choice Energy Authority giving residents the opportunity to choose their electric services from the CCEA or keep their current provider Southern California Edison. The two cities in the CCEA, for now, will continue to purchase its power from SCE at discount rates that in the long run council members believe would save both the city and ratepayers money on their electric bills. The agreements with Lancaster and the CCEA would go into effect at early as September with San Jacinto creating a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) that will provide energy to its residents and businesses. Mark Bozigian, Executive Director of the CCEA from Lancaster appeared at the city council meeting Tuesday, April 18, to answer ques-
tions from the council members. He said Lancaster and San Jacinto currently are the only cities in the CCEA and representatives from each city would be on the CCEA board to make administrative and rate decisions. The CCEA administrators would negotiate with SCE and other electric power providers to get the best rates. The Authority’s responsibilities would be to coordinate with SCE in launching the program in San Jacinto, prepare agreements for electric services with SCE, coordinate with the San Jacinto staff on development a marketing and notification materials, participate in city council meetings, provide technical support during key discussions and decision making, coordinate with regulatory agencies in needed reports and questions regarding CCA operations and participate in discussions or meetings with key customer accounts provide expertise in determining rates and environmental impacts. The CCEA would do the power supply and services contracting
with other agencies and in conjunction with the City’s selected legal counsel, support contract negotiation for desired products and services. Under the agreement, the city would be paying startup costs of $160,000 to the CCEA spread over a five-month period at $32,000 a month through September’s probable startup time. The rate schedules would be updated at that time an offered to residents. Councilman Alonzo Ledezma asked Bozigian if the residents of the city who have installed solar systems to their homes would still get the price breaks and credits for their extra energy. Bozigian and the staff noted the solar residents and other residents would keep the same special rate and energy saving programs they now have under the new CCA. Complete information on the CCEA and CCA can be found on the San Jacinto City website www. ci.san-jacinto.ca.us under the city public records link for the April 18 meeting.

City of Hemet named ‘Tree City USA’ for 30th year HEMET – The City of Hemet has again been named a Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation to honor its commitment to its community forest. It is the 30th year that Hemet has received this national recognition. A National Arbor Day Foundation program, Tree City USA, recognizes U.S. towns and cities which develop comprehensive urban forestry programs. A community must meet four standards to become a Tree City USA. These standards include a tree board or
department, a community tree care ordinance, a comprehensive community forestry program, and an Arbor Day observance and proclamation. Being recognized as a Tree City USA shows that the citizens of Hemet value trees for their beauty, grace and positive investment for maintaining a healthy future environment. This recognition also honors the countless men, women and children in Hemet who have come together as a community to ensure a greener, healthier future
for us all. At a recent regular meeting of the City Council, Mayor Krupa presented the Park Commission with a Proclamation recognizing April 24, 2017, as City of Hemet Arbor Day 2017. The public is invited to share the honor of this worthy accomplishment at the Arbor Day tree planting ceremony to be held Monday, April 24, at 4 p.m., at Weston Park. A Magnolia tree will be planted at the park in celebration of Arbor Day.

Families pose for a group shot moments before starting an Easter egg hunt at the Go Bananas Farm in Murrieta April 8.
EGG HUNT from page A-1 activities and events. Special needs children often feel left out and uninvolved.” The mission of Go Bananas is to help those with special needs feel more included in society. Separating the egg hunt by age groups, the children hunted for the colorful eggs around the grass fields, hills and rows of trees in the farm. The head of Go Bananas, Julia Rogoff, advertised the event through her organization, which has assisted 2,000 families in Southern California and grown drastically since its inauguration in 2012. “We are open to all disabilities and all ages as we provide events for the families and advocacy for the families, a support network and we also run Cultivating Inclusion a farm of 4 acres where we teach adults with disabilities vocational skills,” Rogoff said. In previous years, they brought in approximately 30 children, however, this year more than 40 children attended. “The Easter egg hunts that are held around town can be far too overwhelming for children with disabilities, and that is why we have a private event here,” she said. Participating children were welcomed to an interactive and safe environment to partake in the seasonal festivities and provided the special needs community a free memorable day.

Murrieta EOC looks toward an improved emergency operations center Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Ken Shuck, interim deputy fire marshal for the city of Murrieta, and Cindy Quigley from the Contingency Management Consulting Group provided the Murrieta City Council with an update on the city’s disaster preparedness plan during the April 18 meeting held at Murrieta City Hall. During the presentation, Quigley told council that she was a resident of the city and had a vested interest in how the city managed its emergency preparedness. “I want to be able to give you some information to let you know how far we have come in the past year,” she said, adding that the city did an assessment where they identified areas of improvement. According to the assessment findings, more than 500 people within city limits have completed Community Emergency Response Training, Quigley said. “That adds a lot of confidence when we think about people being prepared for disasters,” she said. “We also identified a need to make people more aware of the emergency operations center to ensure that staff members were properly trained and able to respond effectively.” Currently, it is unknown how many of those trained are still living within the community and are willing to respond in the event of an emergency.
According to Quigley in June 2016, the city decided to begin working on needed improvements to the emergency operations center and to look at other areas where it could improve including ensuring there were appropriate position guidebooks for each of the 52 staff members in the center. “It makes it very difficult for us to ensure that each position has rules, regulations, guidelines to follow, things that can help them during an activation of the emergency operations center,” she said. Quigley said that since all the issues had been addressed, it was time to start implementing items such as an orientation and section training for management operations, planning and intelligence, logistics and finance section personnel, a review of potential notification systems such as Reverse 911 and to conduct a table top exercise for emergency operations center staff. According to Quigley, training is scheduled for June 13 and 27. “We are making sure it will allow them the ability to practice and to get more comfortable in the emergency operations center,” she said, adding that emergency operations centers are often called “controlled chaos,” due to the nature of many things occurring all at once. During the training sessions, participants will be faced with real-life scenarios that could occur during an activation of the center. Participants will learn to work together as a team,
to address issues including prioritizing and assignment of tasks and to ensure they can communicate and properly document the information. “We are also looking to work very closely with the Murrieta Valley Unified School District,” Quigley said. “That has been a very big opportunity for the city because now we are able to use their mass notification broadcast system. That allows us to insert the information for all of the assigned personnel for the EOC and be able to call them, text them or email them, and we can actually call them at their home, their office or their cell to ensure that they are receiving information that the emergency operations center is activated and to respond as safely as possible and that is something the city has not been able to do prior. It was done manually.” The partnership with the school district will cut down on response and wait times, Quigley said. The EOC orientation and section training, scheduled for the fall, will utilize both teams A and B and will include a shift change to practice transition of information so teams can learn proper “passdown” techniques. “What you don’t want is to have valuable information lost,” Quigley explained. “The transition will be one

of the key goals for that exercise.” Also, scheduled for fall, the city will host a table top exercise which will be conducted by the Riverside County Emergency Department. That exercise will include Temecula, Wildomar, Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, Perris, Hemet and the different utilities who would respond during an emergency. “This is a requirement annually for all cities to have a multi-jurisdictional exercise, so this is a great opportunity for us to participate with other different agencies,” she said. Quigley said to date the city has

done a “great deal” in moving the emergency operations center forward and that she commended them for all they have done to ensure that staff is made aware of the EOC and to get trained. It’s a very important aspect for everyone within the city, she said. “We know that it is important,” she said. “It is something that we don’t plan on; we hope that we never have to activate, but when we do, we want to be prepared.” For more information on Murrieta’s Emergency Management efforts, visit www.murrieta.ca.gov.

Murrieta City Council hears plans for update to city’s signage ordinance
Murrieta City Council is exploring the possibility of making changes to that city’s sign ordinance which would give businesses a hierarchystyled criterion for signage. Kim Harris photo
Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The city of Murrieta held a workshop on sign regulations for the city Tuesday, April 18. The meeting was due to the council’s request to review temporary signs for the city for an amendment to the city’s code. “We started with temporary signs because that was the main matter that had come up,” Murrieta City Planner Cynthia Kinser said. “The sign task force said, ‘We think some of the temporary signs have to do with the lack of opportunity in our permanent sign regulations,’ so we took a look back at our permanent sign regulations.” According to Kinser, the sign regulations for the city are restrictive and worth updating. She said that under the existing regulations commercial centers are allowed for single monument signs to be 6 feet
high and 24 square feet total, multiple monument signs to be 6 feet high or 50 square feet while freeway pylons can be 45 feet in height or 200 square feet. “That is all the code allows,” she said. “That’s it.” Kinser said what the sign task force was presenting was a plan with a hierarchy for signs so that everyone has some certainty of sign criteria to follow. She said that the purpose of a sign amendment to city code would help provide a design document to help establish how the city would implement signage throughout the city. “Through the sign task force we developed some additional signage based on the sliding scale of size so rather than just a six-foot monument sign for a single tenant we are proposing it be 8 foot to give it a little more visibility.” Other proposed signage presented
included 10-foot high signs for multiple tenants, 40-foot and 60foot high signs for the freeway and the addition of pylons in varying sizes depending on the needs of the property. Currently the city does not address pylons in its code. “You begin to have a hierarchy,” Kinser said. “It provides more than just one sign for the tenant center.” Kinser said that office and industrial signage falls under a different standard that doesn’t allow for tenant identification. The sign task force was proposing was something “more akin to the commercial.” “You will usually find in true industrial parks that you don’t usually see a lot of signage, but we are unique here in that we over the years have had commercial uses in our industrial area and that is where the pressures come in,” she said. Under the proposal Kinser suggested sliding scale signage like the commercial, though at a smaller size. “What also came up for discussion was digital displays. This is where we had some differences of opinion with the task force, some that wanted as much digital display as they could get and others concerned about what the appearance and the street view would be in our community and what the distraction would be to drivers,” Kinser said. The proposal for digital signage included only 20 percent of the sign area could be digital, and only one digital sign per development be allowed. “Most likely if you have a large commercial development with freeway signage, they might do a 500-square-foot, freeway-oriented pylon sign and have 20 percent – 100 square feet – devoted to digital,” Kinser explained.
Wall signs were also addressed in the workshop. Currently, the city allows signage on buildings to be only 10 percent of the building face, not to exceed 150 square feet, but under the proposal it could be one and a half square foot per linear foot, not to exceed 150 square feet. For temporary signs, which includes sandwich boards, political signs, special events signs and others, the city will have to treat all signs equally thanks to the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court case, Reed vs. Town of Gilbert. “That means you can no longer treat a special event, a sale and a political sign differently,” Kinser said. “That makes it a little challenging of how you treat them equally particularly when it comes to political signs. Usually you want those signs up as soon as you are running for a campaign and then you want them down shortly afterward, so to try to come up with a time frame, we use that as a model to look at.” According to Kinser, the time frame is 120 days, so they were suggesting 120 days that can be divided up in different manners. Auto mall signage also was discussed, and Kinser reported that the task force was open to all advertising styles. “In order to implement unique standards, we will have to set up a zoning layer district, and you can establish different criteria when you do that,” she explained. “There would also have to be a zoning layer component in order to implement unique standards for our auto mall.” Freeway real estate signs were proposed to be 96 square feet as
compared to the current standard of 32 square feet which would also be applied to freeway future tenant signs. Directional and kiosk type signs would not be included in the ordinance, though the task force did say they would be in support of “wayfinding” or directional signage. The task force also showed support for some billboards or outdoor advertising displays since there is no impact on residential. Currently there are 14 billboards within the city, all owned by Lamar, who was brought in to educate the task force about billboard signage. “It was interesting. Lamar said if they could change all their signs to electronic digital billboards, they would not. They don’t feel there is enough market in the area to capture that,” Kinser said. “The most they would do is two or three or at the absolute max. They thought two was viable, three was questionable.” Kinser said there were concerns about not looking “like Las Vegas” and concerns about digital displays due to the city’s topography in sharing “light spillage” into residential areas. “That is not something for the sign ordinance,” she said. “That is more of a program, but there was support for that consideration.” The city council expressed some concerns regarding enforcement, visibility and sign content, but ultimately directed Kinser and her staff to move forward with the plan to finalize the proposal for consideration by the city’s planning commission so it can be brought before council for approval.
Study finds greater number of homeless countywide RIVERSIDE – The number of homeless people in Riverside County climbed 11 percent last year, with a larger number of youths without a fixed residence, according to survey results released last week. The Department of Public Social Services posted preliminary data from its Point-in-Time Survey, conducted in January, showing 2,413 dispossessed adults and children located throughout the county, compared to 2,165 a year earlier. “We believe the increase this year may be attributed to several factors, including more participation and engagement from our cities, increased law enforcement participation and unprecedented weather conditions
in the days leading up to the count, which resulted in some city and county volunteers revisiting areas where people may have been displaced,” DPSS Director Susan von Zabern said. More than 500 volunteers deployed to find homeless people under bridges, in parks, alleyways, dry river beds and shelters. The survey found 1,638 sheltered homeless and 775 unsheltered. Last year’s figures were 1,351sheltered homeless and 814 unsheltered. Between 2011 and 2016, numbers shrank by double digit percentages, making the most recent survey a reversal of that trend. To comply with a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
mandate, the county conducted a separate youth count, defining “youth” as those 24 years and under. According to the survey, 122 unsheltered youth were identified, compared to about 95 unsheltered youths counted in 2016. Officials also recorded a 14 percent increase in the number of individuals who identified as “chronically homeless,” defined as people with disabilities who have been without a place to live for a year, or on the streets four times in the last three years, according to DPSS. The complete survey is available at www.dpss.co.riverside.ca.us/files/ pdf/2017-rivco-pit-city-data-v2a. pdf. A final report will be released in May.

Local sculptor debuts newest work DE LUZ – Nationally recognized sculptor and De Luz resident Austin Casson has recently installed two life-sized horse sculptures in La Cresta in Murrieta. One of Casson’s bronze eagles was presented to President George H.W. Bush by Howie Long. Five of his works are installed in the world golf hall of fame and the permanent Breeder’s Cup Trophy, and the “Mare and Foal” bronze at the Thoroughbred Hall Of Fame, are his as well. Casson has been a resident of the area since 1997 and many of his sculptures are well known in the area. This latest work is called “Part-
ners” and includes Casson’s border collie “Silka” returning a windblown hat to her master. “Silka is gone now but every time I am here, its pretty special,” said Casson. Weighing in at over a ton, these pieces were sculpted at the California Sculpture Academy in Fallbrook where an overhead crane was necessary to complete this six- month project. The sculptures were funded by the Trail Blazers Club and the support of many La Cresta residents. To view Casson’s complete works, go to www.austincasson. com or contact him at (951) 3164294.

FIREFIGHTERS from page A-1 out here.” Lanzas indicated that they expect it to be a “very active” fire season in all of Riverside County attributing to the rapid growth of the grass in the rainy months. “It is curing now and drying out very soon,” he said, looking at the steep hillside next to the staging area. During the media day, 40 inmates and 12 regular firefighters underwent the testing. There were two crews from the nearby Bautista Canyon Conservation Camp and one from the Norco camp. Earlier in the week the remaining 14 Riverside
District 5 crews underwent the wildfire preparedness exercise and evaluation. Lanzas explained there are four major components to the annual Fire Preparedness Exercise. They include the unloading and tool out for each crew. This requires each crew member to make sure his tools are ready for use; he has enough water for the trek to the fire scene, first aid packs, his fire shelter, tool repair and maintenance kits and other items that may save his life or help his task. The second component was a rigorous full-geared, two-mile hike up a very steep, once burned over hillside, a short rehabilitation time to drink water and return under 60

The Rotary Award for Vocational Excellence, also called the RAVE award, is awarded to special people in the community who have had positive impacts in their workplace and community. People from all walks of life are considered by the Rotary club making the presentation. This year the NewGen Rotary Club awarded LouEllen Ficke of the Murrieta Rotary Club with the RAVE award. “Presenting the award to LouEllen Ficke as our first recipient was a hands-down, unanimous decision by the committee tasked with selection,” Adria Poindexter, NewGen minutes. Upon their return from the hike, they undertake a simulated “burn over” where a fire is burning over them and the deployment of their life-saving fire shelters. They need to follow their emergency burn-over rules to perfection. They have only a short time to rehab, before they were off for another half-mile hilly hike to a “cut” area. On arrival, they ready their chain saws and tools to cut through 1,500 feet of heavy brush, manzanita and any other vegetation or obstacles in their way to clear a 4-foot wide fire line with a center trench, all in 90 minutes or less. Each crew member needs to cut 30 feet an hour to keep up with the other crewmembers. In each component, experienced Cal Fire firefighters evaluated the crews determining their readiness for the fire season fast approaching. During an actual wildfire, regular firefighters will be seen wearing yellow turnouts while inmates wear orange outfits. Lanzas said if any of the crew fails to complete a task in the exercise he will go through a “remediation” process to retrain and meet the crew requirement. He said to be a member of a firefighter crew the inmate must not have been convicted of major crime, particularly arson, be physically fit and have a good record. The assignments, he said, are competitive and considered a “privilege” for the inmates. It usually takes a least a year of in-camp training and passing the wildfire preparedness exercises before an inmate can join a crew at a live fire. The inmate does receive a small stipend of $2 per hour for each hour on a fire. Lanzas said it may be difficult for an inmate, depending upon his felony conviction, to obtain a firefighter job with a fire department, “but some agencies do hire former inmates.” Lanzas said they were particularly thankful to the Ramona tribe for letting Cal Fire to use their lands next to Table Mountain for the intensive exercise. Several members of the Ramona Tribal Council were on hand to observe the exercise and were pleased at what they saw. Lanzas said the annual Wildfire Preparedness Exercises are held at different locations in Riverside County District 5 with many being held on Native American lands because they have the terrain needed for the training. This year they choose the Ramona tribal land because of the current grassland conditions in the area that will become extremely vulnerable to wildfires in the hot and dry summer months coming. He urged all area residents in the foothill and mountain areas to make sure their homes and surrounding properties are made “fire safe” with 100 or more feet of defensible space between dry brush, trees and grasses and their homes or businesses.

‘Deep cuts’ may be on horizon for some county departments Paul Young SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Double-digit cuts may be in store for some Riverside County agencies over the next few years as the county contends with a growing set of cost burdens and relatively flat revenue, Paul McDonnell, the county chief financial officer, said. “What’s our strategy?” McDonnell said, addressing the board of supervisors. “We’ve got to put a budget in place that is balanced and maintains core services.” During an afternoon session that set the stage for budget hearings in June, McDonnell went through a list of spending obligations that threaten to push the county’s structural deficit deeper into the red. The CFO said discretionary revenue sources, including sales and property taxes, were going to be inadequate to meet funding
needs for the East County Detention Center in Indio, slated to open in phases next year, as well as cover all costs associated with health services for inmates guaranteed under terms of a lawsuit that the county settled over a year ago and skyrocketing expenses tied to the state-mandated In-Home Supportive Services program. Chief Executive Officer Jay Orr called the IHSS challenge “the most significant” on the board’s radar going into the 2017-2018 fiscal year and beyond. Though Gov. Jerry Brown and majority party leaders in the Legislature haven’t made it unequivocally clear that IHSS costs will be fully borne by counties, all indications make a worst-case scenario likely, Orr said. “We are braced for a ... scenario in which the county absorbs $37 million in additional net cost,” he
said in a statement posted to the board’s agenda. In view of that likelihood, Orr said the Executive Office was directing most departments to prepare for a straight 6.5 percent chop in general fund support in the next fiscal year. IHSS is a Medi-Cal program that provides direct assistance to lowincome seniors and the disabled who are living independently, including meal preparation, bathing, medication dispensation and other on-site care. The governor stated in his January budget proposal that IHSS costs, due to growing recipient demand and higher labor expenses, had ballooned beyond appropriations limits established four years ago, adding to the state deficit. The California Department of Finance recommended realigning IHSS costs, making counties re-
sponsible for the lion’s share, and Brown agreed. According to county officials, IHSS caseload growth is averaging 13 percent per year. By 2023, they said, the county could be on the hook for a total $165 million in additional IHSS expenses. “They’re dumping on us,” Supervisor Marion Ashley said. “This is a federal program (under Medicaid). They can’t just squeeze more money out of the county like an ATM machine.” Department of Public Social Services Director Susan Von Zabern told the board that efforts are persisting to convince the governor and Legislature to find a compromise and not foist the bulk of IHSS costs onto counties. According to McDonnell, current budget planning largely excludes public safety agencies from future spending cuts, so general
government departments would have to bear the brunt of reduced appropriations. “These would be deep cuts,” McDonnell said. “Departments could have to absorb 10, 20 percent cuts.” Those reductions would be part of the county’s five-year planning horizon. Other matters weighing on future finances include escalating internal service costs and insurance premiums, in addition to higher county contributions to backfill the under-funded California Public Employees Retirement System and outlays to meet rising labor expenses promised under collective bargaining agreements. Orr said the goal is to avoid depleting the county’s $150 million reserve pool, which factors into its creditworthiness.
Melendez calls on state attorney general to investigate political ‘quid pro quo’ in passage of gas tax SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez, R-Lake Elsinore, sent an official letter to California State Attorney General Xavier Becerra calling for an investigation of apparent quid pro quo-inspired vote trading, in order to pass Senate Bill 1, possibly violating several state and federal laws. “I am for working toward a solution and understand the need for compromise, but there is a big difference between compromise and bribery,” Melendez said. “The governor, Speaker Rendon and President pro Tem de Leon doled out 1 billion tax payer dollars in deals to buy a handful of legislators’ votes to pass their gas tax. That’s not ethical, and I believe, if the attorney general actually looks into this, SB 1 will be found illegal.” Article 4, Section 14 of the California Constitution states, “A person who seeks to influence the vote or action of a member of the Legislature in the member’s legislative capacity by bribery, promise of reward, intimidation or other dishonest means, or a member of the Legislature so influenced, is guilty of a felony,” Melendez explained. According to Melendez, leading
up to the vote on SB 1, there were numerous reports of members of the legislature in both the state Senate and State Assembly actively seeking “deals” to earn their support of the tax increase. The same day SB 1 was brought to a vote, Senate bills 132 and 496 both were amended with language from the widely-reported “deals” struck to earn these legislators’ votes. The arrangements made were for those legislators to support SB 1 and in exchange SB 132 and SB 496 will pass with their predetermined deals. This arrangement appears to be a standard quid pro quo exchange, which has been made clear by these members’ public statements about the evolution of their decision making and their rationale for voting for SB 1, she said. “I sent a letter to Attorney General Becerra calling on him to open an investigation into the possibility of illegal vote trading undertaken to
pass this $52 billion tax increase,” Melendez said. In her letter, Melendez wrote that SB 1 “narrowly passed” with votes “just meeting the two-thirds threshold needed” and that there were numerous reports of legislators in “both the state Senate and the state Assembly actively seeking ‘deals’ to earn their support” of the proposal. “The same day Senate Bill I was brought to a vote, Senate Bills 132 and 496 both were amended with language from the ‘deals’ struck to earn these legislators’ votes,” she alleged. “The arrangements made were for those legislators to support Senate Bill 1 and, in exchange, Senate Bills 132 and 496 will pass with their predetermined deals. This appears to be a standard quid pro quo exchange, which has been made clear by these legislators’ public statements about the evolution of their decision and their rationale for
voting for Senate Bill 1.” According to Melendez, several state and federal laws may have been violated on this illegal vote trading scheme including California Constitution, California Penal Code Section 86, the federal Hobbs Act (18 U.S.C Sec. 1951), and the federal Honest Services Fraud (18 U.S.C. Sec. 1346). Assemblywoman Melissa A.
Melendez represents the 67th Assembly District, which includes the communities of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar and a portion of Hemet. It also includes the Riverside County unincorporated areas of Lake Mathews, Good Hope, Nuevo and Winchester. Follow her on Twitter: @asmMelendez.

Temecula Valley finishes strong at Willie Banks Invitational
Temecula Valley’s Lady Golden Bear track and field team placed first at the Fourth Annual Willie Banks Invitational.
JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Temecula Valley was on point earlier this month when both the boys’ and girls’ track and field teams finished exceedingly well at the Fourth Annual Willie Banks Invitational held at Oceanside High School. The Lady Golden Bears took top honors placing first (108.33) and the boy’s finished second (97) behind Olympian High School (110.6) out of Chula Vista. The Olympian girls’ did well finishing second behind Temecula Valley with a score of 99.33. The Golden Bears broke many records Saturday, April 1, at the Invitational named after Banks, who has been an influential advocate for athletes’ rights and the advancement and modernization in the sport. Banks who set an American Record in 1981 and a World Record in 1985, was a member of 3 Olympic Teams (1980, 1984, 1988) and 2 World Championships Teams (1983, 1987), and was awarded the Track & Field News and United States Olympic Committee Athlete
of the Year in 1985. Top performances came from the 4×100 meter relay team consisting of Kimberly Evans, Danae Dyer, Erica Menchaca and Charisma Davis, who finished with a 48.73 and Menchaca, Dyer and Evans, also went all-out in the 800 meter sprint medley which included teammate Alyssa Wenzel as the four clocked a time of 1:48.09. Dyer also found herself on top in 100 meter hurdles with a time of 14.80 and for the boys’, Qwintin Workman took the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 39.14 as teammate Bryan Roberson came in a close second at 41.74. The 4x100 boys’ relay team of Workman, Jamari Jackson, Kenric Walker and Ezekiel Armstrong placed at the top with their 43.19 and took charge in the 800 Sprint Relay as well with a run time of 1:34.55. For the 4x400 relay the same boys’ from TV took first with a time of 3:28.03. Also for the Golden Bears, Christian Gbla jumped his way into first in the triple jump with a 44-03.75 and Charisma Davis pole vaulted her way to the top with a 9-06.00.

Paloma Valley’s Esposito relieved of duties as football, track coach: remains teacher JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Veteran football and track and field coach Bert Esposito will no longer be handling those reigns at Menifee’s Paloma Valley High School. Esposito was relieved of his duties Thursday, April 20, by school district officials following an investigation, but was not given a specific reason for the firing or details on any allegations against him. “I have been doing this for 35 straight years, it’s been a grind,” said Esposito, who has spent the last 13 years of his career at Paloma Valley. “At this point it’s over and done with, my kids know I would never quit on them, but it’s time for me do other things now.” Esposito, who will remain in his on-
campus role as a physical education teacher, compiled a record of 87-59 with 10 winning seasons and coached the Wildcats to a 9-2 record last season. “I have a summer coming up where I will get to do what I want to do. I don’t know the exact reasoning behind all of this, but I am not the only one this has happened to. Perhaps it’s just overhauling and maybe they felt it was time they started making changes. Right now I get to focus on my students, but I sure do miss my football players already.” Esposito previously coached at Southern Cal Christian, Temecula Linfield Christian, Riverside Ramona, Moreno Valley Rancho Verde and Riverside La Sierra. He won a CIF-SS Division 10 title in 1991 with Southern Cal Christian.

HS Baseball: Local players named to 43rd Annual Lions’ AllTournament team SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
As most local students spent their spring break catching up on sleep or hanging with friends at the beach, high school baseball action was dominating fields all over the southland just a couple of short weeks ago. One major tournament that seems to attract quite a few local teams every year is the Anaheim Lions Tournament. This year it was a smaller tournament with “only” 75 schools competing. The tournament has had more than 80 teams a few times in its previous 42 years. The 75 schools came from six states other than California. Teams from Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Nevada, Oregon and Utah all showed up ready to play. In the tournament’s history 244 different schools have been represented. This year it would be San Clemente earning a 6-5 victory over Valencia in the championship game Wednesday, March 29, at La Palma Park. As the tournament wrapped up each coach was asked to submit their

Reallocation of bullet train funds could save Californians from more taxes Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Last week I had the pleasure of flying to Illinois to see my youngest son graduate from Navy boot camp. It was a wonderful ceremony, and I am so happy I could attend the event and spend time with my son before the Navy shipped him off to San Antonio, where he is attending his “A” school for the next several months. While tooling around Chicago and the surrounding areas, I took the time to do a little research on things, including the prices on gas. California is known as having one of the highest gas prices in the nation, currently hovering at $2.83 or
about 15 percent higher than the national average of $2.40. While I was in Chicago, I noticed that gas was lower than the national average at $2.34 a gallon or 3 percent less. That is quite a difference from what we pay here. Under the recently passed gas tax, which all our local lawmakers opposed, our prices will go even higher. The new tax will increase gas prices by 12 cents per gallon, bringing the total taxes we pay for gas to 30 cents. Another variable excise tax would be set at 17 cents. The excise tax on diesel fuel would jump 20 cents per gallon, and the sales tax on diesel would go up four percentage points. Electric cars
would pay a $100 annual fee. The package also creates a new annual vehicle fee ranging from $25 for cars valued at under $5,000 to $175 for cars worth $60,000 or more. My current annual gas expense will increase by roughly 16 percent, and that is not including vehicle licensing fees which will go up by about 15 percent at best, depending on what the state decides my sport utility vehicle is worth. According to published reports, about $34 billion of the first $52 billion would go to repairing roads, bridges, highways and culverts, with most of the money split 50-50 between state and local projects.
Another $7 billion over the 10 years will go to mass transit projects such as the bullet train – with an estimated price tag of $98.5 billion – that Gov. Brown seems to be so enamored with. According to a Jan. 13 article that ran in the Los Angeles Times which cited a “confidential Federal Railroad Administration risk analysis,” the project could cost taxpayers as much as 50 percent more than expected. “The federal document outlines far-reaching management problems: significant delays in environmental planning, lags in processing invoices for federal grants and continuing failures to acquire needed property,” the article said. “California’s bullet
which doesn’t address gridlock or highway expansion, these funds would have supported traffic congestion relief, road maintenance and mass transit. Unfortunately, the Democrat majority refused to consider the plan, and none of the bills received a committee hearing or floor vote. Transportation funds from existing gas taxes have been raided to the tune of $1 billion annually for other uses, even though the money was promised for transportation by untruthful politicians. With this new tax, every time a motorist fills
their tank they will pay about $16 in taxes and fees. In my floor speech, I asked for an audit of where all this money has gone. The gasoline taxes are already among the nation’s highest. If transportation was a priority to majority politicians, it would already be budgeted and not an afterthought excuse for tax increases. The highways need an upgrade, but misplaced priorities by the governing majority should not result in gouging hard-working men and women. Californians deserve better.
A Pothole in the Wallet Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Special interests and bought-off legislators recently passed the largest gasoline tax increase in California history, probably in American history. And not one new highway mile will be built to help reduce congestion...not one! Last session, I introduced Assembly Bill X1-14 during the transportation special session called by the governor. My bill required a formal commitment in the State Budget General Fund to provide
$1 billion annually for transportation without raising taxes or fees, including $500 million for highway upgrades and $500 million for local streets and roads. According to revenue forecasts by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, state revenues were sufficient to fully fund education and the state’s rainy day fund and still dedicate $1 billion to transportation. My bill was part of a nine-point, $6.6 billion plan to pay for transportation infrastructure and roads using existing tax dollars. Unlike the governor’s new gas tax plan

Missing woman’s family asks for public’s help to find her HEMET – Hemet police are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a woman who went missing more than a month ago. Nichole Marie Dillard, 38, was
last in contact with her family on March 16. Dillard’s relatives told police she may be bipolar, and the disorder could explain her disappearance and why she ended
communication with her family. Dillard has been described as a Black female, about 5-foot-4 and 130 pounds, sporting a Capricorn symbol tattoo on her neck.
Anyone with information on her possible whereabouts was urged to contact the police department at (951) 765-2400.
Two deputies hospitalized after two-vehicle wreck TEMECULA – Two Riverside County sheriff ’s deputies and another driver suffered minor injuries when they were involved in a two-vehicle traffic collision Friday, April 21. The accident, which sent both
deputies to the hospital with unspecified injuries, happened at the intersection of Margarita Road and Temecula Parkway in Temecula about 3:20 p.m. The driver of the pickup truck received minor injuries, and was
evaluated and treated at the scene. He declined further medical treatment. Both vehicles sustained moderated damage and had to be towed from the scene. The collision and subsequent ac-
cident investigation caused traffic to back up for several miles. It was not immediately known which sheriff’s station the two injured deputies were assigned to and no other details about the crash were immediately available.
Temecula carjacking suspect arrested in San Jacinto after stealing second vehicle Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
SAN JACINTO – Officials from several different local law enforcement agencies worked together while tracking a carjacking suspect on a stolen motorcycle and ultimately taking the alleged suspect into custody. The man who was arrested, 28-year-old, Ryan Curtis Wilhite, of Murrieta, was wanted not only for stealing the LoJackequipped motorcycle, he was also wanted for the alleged armed-carjacking of a pickup truck from the city of Temecula Wednesday evening, April 12, Sergeant Steve Frederick explained in a written press release after Wilhite’s arrest. Sheriff’s officials began searching for Wilhite after he allegedly carjacked a pickup truck from a victim who was sitting inside the truck, while parked in the driveway of his own residence.
In that incident, officials allege Wilhite confronted the owner of the truck, brandished a handgun at the victim and demanded the victim’s vehicle. The victim, whose location was not disclosed for his protection, escaped from the vehicle without injury and Wilhite fled the area in the man’s truck. “Detectives assumed the investigation, but neither the suspect nor the stolen vehicle were immediately located,” Fredericks explained. Saturday’s incident began shortly after 2 p.m., when deputies from the Temecula Police Station responded to a residence in Temecula regarding the report of a stolen motorcycle. During their investigation, deputies learned the suspect, later identified as Wilhite, had taken the motorcycle on a “test drive” from the victim, who had listed the motorcycle for sale on the internet.

To set the victim’s mind at ease, during his “test drive” Wilhite left the pickup truck he had carjacked 10 days earlier with the seller of the motorcycle as collateral. He was last seen as he left the area on the victim’s motorcycle. “When the suspect never returned with the motorcycle, the victim notified police,” Frederick said. Deputies quickly learned Wilhite had driven to the victim’s residence in the truck that he allegedly carjacked April 12. Several hours later, shortly after 7 p.m., officials with LoJackequipped patrol vehicles began to pick up the LoJack signal and started tracking the stolen motorcycle. Over the course of the 30 minutes, several agencies, including California Highway Patrol, Hemet Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff’s Department spent time tracking the
motorcycle, as it moved through the San Jacinto Valley. Officials tracked the motorcycle first into and through the city of Hemet and later into the city of San Jacinto. Members of Riverside County Sheriff’s Aviation Unit in “Star-9” quickly acquired the signal while flying over San Jacinto. With the helicopter’s assistance, deputies tracked the signal and stolen motorcycle to a private residence in the 2000 block of Tall Grass Court in San Jacinto. At about 7:44 p.m., deputies moved in and recovered the stolen motorcycle and apprehended Wilhite. During their investigation, “Temecula Police detectives determined Wilhite was responsible for both the carjacking and the theft of the motorcycle,” Fredericks stated. “Wilhite was booked at the Southwest Detention Center for both crimes, and both vehicles were recovered and processed for evidence.”

train is hurtling toward a multibillion-dollar overrun, a confidential federal report warns.” In the article, the Times reports that the first section of track, which was supposed to be completed this year, won’t happen “until 2024, placing the project seven years behind schedule.” According to the Times, “Audit reports last year, for example, found that the rail authority lacks consistent management processes, takes on unnecessary contract risks, does not have orderly records and is short on clearly defined responsibility for its top officials.” The entire thing is just a waste of taxpayer dollars that could be used to repair our crumbling roadways and ease congestion. I have an idea, how about we scrap the whole bullet train idea and instead of imposing another tax on Californians use that money for the greater good and fix our roads. I bet we could get some pretty nice roadways with that $98 billion. But, it’s only my opinion.

$40,000 from Pechanga fountains to feed more than 1,600 hungry students
Pechanga Resort and Casino donates $40,000 in coins that were removed from the water features on their grounds to Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino, a nonprofit food pantry and distribution center that Courtesy photo plans to open three school food pantries in Lake Elsinore and Temecula with the funds.
TEMECULA – Spring cleaning at Pechanga Resort and Casino washed up $40,000 that will go toward food for Riverside County children without enough to eat. One hundred and one five-gallon buckets filled with coins totaling $40,000 were donated to Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino counties Tuesday, April 18. The millions of coins were fished out of Pechanga Resort and Casino’s water features recently. Food bank representatives joined Pechanga’s leaders at the north entrance wa-
terfall feature for a “big coin” presentation. Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino already has plans for the sizable donation. They will be launching three school pantry programs at low-income, high-need elementary schools in Lake Elsinore and Temecula. “This gift from Pechanga will help alleviate child hunger in our region through the provision of food to children and their families at school,” Stuart Haniff, chief philanthropy officer for Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino, said.
Eagle Foundation in Temecula which also provides food for underserved families. “Every coin collected represents a wish, a chance of good luck, a hope for improved circumstances or outcomes,” Edith Atwood, president of the Pechanga Development Corporation, said. “These wishes are making those hopes a reality for hundreds of children and their families by putting proper, nutritious food on their tables, positively impacting their growth and development.” Feeding America RiversideSan Bernardino was selected to receive the coin windfall thanks to Pechanga Resort and Casino team members. The Pechanga board
Feeding America estimates the new school pantry program will provide 1,600 students in need with food they would otherwise not have access to, totaling more than 16,000 pounds of food per month. Pechanga has donated the money collected from its fountains to charities in Southern California for more than 15 years. The previous coin donation went to Western
The Riverside County board of supervisors authorized the initiation of general plan amendment proceedings which will change 2.49 acres of French Valley from residential to light industrial. The supervisors’ 3-0 vote March 21, with Marion Ashley absent and one vacancy, authorized the initiation of proceedings which, if approved, would change the land’s general plan foundation component from rural community to community development and amend the land use designation from estate density residential to light industrial. The land is owned by EMS Storage and is located north of Aaron Road, south of Scott Road, east of Leon Road and west of Fowler Drive. The property is within the State Route 79 policy area. The board of supervisors retains the right to deny the request for a general plan amendment, and the general plan component could be changed to commercial rather than light industrial. A recreational vehicle storage operation is currently on the site, but due to the potential impact to nearby residents, the operations are conducted only during daytime hours. During the Aug. 25 meeting of the county’s General Plan Advisory
Committee, the committee recommended denying the initiation of the general plan amendment proceedings. The consensus of the committee members was that storing recreational vehicles on the property is not compatible with the surrounding land uses including the existing residential areas and that aesthetic impacts and noise from the operations would be adverse to the surrounding residents. The county’s planning commission expressed sentiment that a general plan foundation change might be appropriate, but the Nov. 2 meeting did not endorse the EMS Storage request. The planning commission indicated that recreational vehicle storage on the site could be acceptable if certain physical upgrades were made to the site and operational restrictions were imposed. Certain commercial land uses allow for recreational vehicle storage, so the planning commission also indicated that a commercial rather than a light industrial designation might be more appropriate if vehicle storage use is specifically authorized for the property. The planning commission also noted that EMS Storage would need to work closely both with the community and with county staff during the general plan amendment request process.
Temecula’s Sweet Oaks experiencing a dynamic transformation under new ownership
Heather Petersen, founder and chief executive officer of National Merchants Association, recently purchased Sweet Oaks Ranch, a 40-acre equestrian facility and vineyard property in the heart of Temecula horse and wine Courtesy photo country.
TEMECULA – Heather Petersen, founder and chief executive officer of National Merchants Association, recently purchased Sweet Oaks Ranch, a 40-acre equestrian facility and vineyard property in the heart of Temecula horse and wine country. “I am proud to be the new owner of Sweet Oaks,” Petersen said. “It is a very special place that has great potential to become a premier destination for members of the local community and visitors from around the world.” The property, conveniently located near the intersection of state
Route 79 and Pauba Road at 43240 Los Corralitos Road, is just 15 minutes from Old Town Temecula. Petersen has selected one of the country’s most well-respected equestrians, Jess Hargrave, to serve as the head trainer for Sweet Oaks. Hargrave is a certified level III coach with a wide range of specialties ranging from U.S. pony club to dressage and eventing. Sweet Oaks is equipped with state-of-the-art equestrian training equipment, facilities and amenities including top-flight horse barns with 28 stalls, two large arenas complete with covered viewing area and 24/7 on-site security. Petersen, who built National Merchants Association from a home-based business into a multimillion dollar payments industry giant, has big plans for the property. Her vision includes a destination wedding venue, a wine production facility and the ability to host private, corporate and live music events. “We are excited about the plans that we have for Sweet Oaks,” Petersen said. “We are committed to creating first-class venues where memories will be made to last a lifetime.” Visit www.SweetOaks.com for more information.

put the call out to team members to elect the winning charity. More than 600 people voted, and Feeding America won with a 31-percent margin over seven additional worthy charities. Pechanga has several water features throughout its resort property including waterfalls flanking the north casino entrance, the two-story rainfall chandeliers in the hotel lobby and the water wall outside the high limit gaming salon. Coins were collected from each, as well as from the serene koi pond formerly located outside the hotel entrance. Fountain coins are typically collected and sorted approximately every two years.

Murrieta Odyssey of the Mind team takes first place at state tournament MURRIETA – An Odyssey of the Mind team from Cole Canyon Elementary School came in first place at the state tournament in Brentwood, California, and will represent their school at the Odyssey of the Mind world finals. The team of fourth and fifth graders competed against teams in their problem and division from around California and finished with the highest overall score. Cole Canyon and the other top two teams from each division will now advance to compete at the world finals competition at Michigan State University from Wednesday, May 24, through Saturday, May 27. Hundreds of teams representing dozens of countries and all 50 U.S. states will compete in the 38th annual Odyssey of the Mind world finals. The competition, which emphasizes creativity and teamwork, has grown into the largest inter-
national creative problem-solving competition worldwide. Tens of thousands of children work hard all year perfecting their solutions, but only a few students advance to the world finals. The Cole Canyon team spent six months solving a problem titled, “To Be Continued: A Superhero Cliffhanger,” in which creativity is being taken away from the world, and it is up to Odyssey teams to rescue it. Coach Cindy Waller was prohibited by Odyssey of the Mind rules from telling the students what to do, though she was allowed to ask questions. The students had to write their own solution, build their sets and sew their own costumes. The children created and presented a hilarious performance about a musical superhero that encounters three different situations where it must save creativity in some way; they had the judges in stitches.

SAN JACINTO – North Mountain Middle School in San Jacinto Unified School District was selected as an Advancement Via Individual Determination Site of Distinction for the 2016-17 school year by the AVID Center, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to closing the achievement gap by preparing all students for college and other after-graduation opportunities. North Mountain Middle School’s Principal Dr. Karen Kirschinger said she is thrilled to have her school site recognized. “It is due to the hard work of my entire staff to ensure each of our students are exposed to AVID strategies, by AVID trained teachers,” Kirschinger said. “By the end of this month, 100 percent of our teachers will have attended
AVID Path Trainings, and it is always an honor to have the opportunities to grow professionally so we can better support students and offer more choices to thrive.” AVID is a college readiness program that requires students to take ownership of their academics and their futures. As of the 20162017 school year, every school site in SJUSD is an AVID campus. North Mountain Middle School is now the second school in the district to receive the classification “Site of Distinction.” Monte Vista Middle School was recognized with this honor in 2015-16, and again for 2016-17. Valerie Williams-Brown, AVID coordinator at North Mountain Middle School, also acknowledged that all of the North Mountain teachers supported
this achievement. “I am grateful to our administration and teachers for their dedication to the AVID program and to the success of each of our students,” Williams-Brown said. “Adopting the AVID strategies has made a big impact on numerous San Jacinto Unified students, and we are very excited to have all our schools be a part of this program that is designed to influence the leadership, systems, instruction and culture of schools for high expectations and levels of achievement,” SJUSD Superintendent Diane Perez said. “SJUSD believes ‘all students should be college and career ready,’ and adopting AVID districtwide is one of our primary strategies to achieve this goal.”

back to the world championships. The team meets four to eight hours a week for practice, focusing on coding, building and driving the robot. These practices do not include time spent for various competitions and outreaches the team does throughout the community. This year the team ranked 13th in the West Super Regional competition and were recognized as the second place, Connect Award winner. They competed in the San Diego Inter-League Championship, where they won the Inspire Award, the highest award given, and were nominated for the Think Award, Connect Award, Rockwell Collins Innovate Award, PTC Design Award and the Control Award. In the San Diego Regional competition, they also won the Inspire Award and were nominated for the Think Award, Connect Award and the Motivate Award. When the robotics team is not busy practicing, the students go out into the community to help those in need. Three years ago the team started a program called “Trick or Treat, so Others Can Eat.” They asked for non-perishable food instead of candy and donated these goods, as well as blankets the team made, to the Hemet Restart Shelter. On Veterans Day, the team met at Riverside National Cemetery to honor fallen soldiers by placing flags on over 5,000 grave sites.

Riverside Community Health Foundation will host Southern California’s first Women’s Cancer Conference men and their loved ones going or having been though breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, survivorship is the focus on the “health and life of a person with cancer post treatment until the end of life. It covers the physical, psychosocial and economic issues of cancer, beyond the diagnosis and treatment phases.” In 2006, the Commission on Cancer, a part of the American College of Surgeons, mandated that its 1,500 accredited cancer care facilities provide survivorship care plans by 2015 in order to continue their accreditation. This recognition has made it clear that the healing process is more than the treatment of cancer but is more about the “whole being.” “The So Cal Women’s Cancer Conference was designed by our advisory and planning committee to help explore ways for a woman to balance her mind, body, emotions and spirit through education and connections with resources, information, but most of all – with one another,” Anna Holbrook, the director of special events and development at Riverside Community Health Foundation, said. The advisory and planning committee also includes organizations such as City of Hope, Myriad Genetics, Breastlink/Radnet, US Oncology Network, Cancer Triage and local female cancer survivors. The one-day conference is complete with a healthy breakfast to kick-start the day and will provide
RIVERSIDE – Riverside Community Health Foundation will present the inaugural Southern California Women’s Cancer Conference Saturday, June 17, at the Riverside Convention Center, 3637 5th Street. The purpose of the Women’s Cancer Conference is to bridge the gap between survivorship and wellness after conventional medical treatment and diagnosis. The one-day conference will provide quality education and hands-on workshops to encourage and inspire life-changing skills for female cancer survivors. With over 2 million female cancer survivors living in the U.S., cancer survivors face the long-term and life-limiting effects from the illness and its treatment that often lead to physical, emotional, legal and financial issues. “Over the last seven years, I had struggled with what it really meant to live as a breast cancer survivor,” Kathie Westley, chair of Breast Resource Advocates Steering Committee for The Pink Ribbon Place, said. “Yes, I had survived the treatments and am cancer free, but I no longer felt like the same woman. For better or for worse, breast cancer had changed me, and it took me many years to realize how to truly ‘heal’ my soul. In reality, I’m still learning.” The Pink Ribbon Place is a program of Riverside Community Health Foundation; it is the first breast cancer resource center in the city of Riverside, providing support at no cost to all women,

a variety of break-out sessions on topics such as advocacy, genetic counseling, health insurance and more. Keynote speakers include Jessica Queller a television writer also known as “the WB darling” for writing hit TV shows such Super Girl, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill and Felicity. Queller, who has experienced an illustrious career in television, is also the author of “Pretty is what Changes,” a memoir about her mother’s struggle with breast and cervical cancer and her
own personal diagnosis with the BRCA gene. “There is nothing like the Women’s Cancers Conference in the Inland Empire, Southern California - or even the West Coast,” Dr. Dan Anderson, president and chief executive officer of Riverside Community Health Foundation, said. “That is why we are proud to start the survivor movement by organizing and hosting the inaugural So Cal Women’s Cancer Conference not only for our neighbors, but
for all of Southern California.” The Riverside Community Health Foundation is a local nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of the community. For more information, visit www.rchf.org. Tickets for the event start at $45; however, free tickets are available for a limited time.

‘Ramona’ play opens at Ramona Bowl Amphitheater
The tragic love story of “Ramona” opened Saturday, April 22, at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater with Kayla Contreras playing Ramona and Joseph Valdez playing Alessandro. This is one of the happier scenes as the couple holds their first newborn child.
Here in the “Ramona” play, Ramona and Felipe Moreno, played by Bret Cherland, enjoy a traditional Mexican dance at the rancho. Felipe is madly in love with Ramona, but Ramona seeks her own love with Alessandro.
Indian dancers from the Red Tail Spirit Dancers were a colorful addition to the opening of the 94th season of the California’s Official Outdoor Play “Ramona” that opened April 22.
Indian Hoop Dancer Terry Goedel has been delighting “Ramona” play crowds for 22 years, only having recently been named hoop dance World champion. He is master of the eight-hoop dance depicting the hope for the unity of the world.
The first play of the “Ramona” season opened April 22, at the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater with a flag salute to our troops by the Cowboys in the play carrying an American flag in their honor.
A surprise and highlight of the annual “Ramona” play is the sudden appearance of dozens and sometimes hundreds of children who suddenly appear in the rocks and hills above the Ramona Bowl Amphitheater. Opening day was not exception as the hill came alive with Rock Indians with Indian soloist Frank Jaramillo singing high on the hill blessing the couples new baby.
Here Senora Moreno head of the household, played by Kathi Anderson, tells Padre Salvadierra, played by Robert Leibovich, she is not happy with the planned betrothal of Ramona and Don Felipe since Ramona is part Indian. One of the most touching parts of the play is when Senora Moreno tells Ramona that her father was actually an Indian.
Here this scene of the “Ramona” play at the Ramona Bowl, Ramona pleads with Alessandro not to go after the soldiers who killed his whole family in an attack on their Indian village. Tony Ault photos
In this scene of the “Ramona” play the Moreno Rancho ranch owners and ranch hands guns and rifles at the ready ward off the cowboys led by Jim Ferrar, played by Dan Ferguson, who tell Juan Canito, played by Daniel Martinez, the overseer that they hold the claim to the rancho.
The crowds were a little smaller than usual at the opening of the 94th Season of California’s Official Outdoor Play “Ramona” because of the 90 plus degree temperatures but nevertheless pleased at the outstanding performance.

Murrieta’s DownTown PUBLIC HOUSE is just one of many local restaurants featuring farm-to-table food. Foodies, as well as industry experts, predict that the local foods movement is a permanent and mainstream trend. Kim Harris photo
TEMECULA – Consumers’ appetites for local foods are growing, and restaurants have taken notice. Today, many local businesses, including farms and restaurants, have mutually exclusive relationships that make it possible for local residents to enjoy nutritious, locally produced meals. Many local restaurants including Provecho Grill in Menifee, E.A.T. Marketplace in Old Town Temecula and Murrieta’s DownTown PUBLIC HOUSE – just to name a few – all focus on the local farm-
to-table mentality that is quickly becoming all the rage. According to the market research firm Packaged Facts, local foods generated $11.7 billion in sales in 2014 and will climb to $20.2 billion by 2019. Farm-to-table remains a growing trend that benefits farmers, restaurateurs and consumers. This is evidenced by the rising number of farmers’ markets cropping up in neighborhoods all across the country, as well as the niche offerings by regional food purveyors.

says that, in the last 20 years, the number of farmers’ markets has grown by more than 350 percent. Many consumers are now choosing “local” for dining at home and when dining out, and this is making a major impact on the nation’s food systems. Foodies, as well as industry ex-

“Farm-to-table remains a growing trend that beneifts farmers, restaurateurs and consumers.” perts, predict that the local foods movement is a permanent and mainstream trend. In 2014, the National Restaurant Association found the desire for local foods dominated its “Top Food Trends.” The most in-demands foods include locally sourced meats and seafood as well as locally sourced produce. Consumers also are interested in farm/estate-branded foods. Some restaurants are even producing “hyper-local” food, or herbs and produce grown right on the property. As the demand for local foods has evolved, so has the term “local foods.” “Local” can be a wideranging term that refers to foods produced in a particular town, state or even region. The 2008 Farm Act defines a “locally or regionally produced agricultural food product” as one that is marketed less than 400
producers that have long fought for footing among the mega-importers. According to the trade publication Produce Business, even though “local” does not place limits on the size of the farm, the growing desire among consumers to go local is benefiting many small and midsized farms, as consumers are increasingly buying foods grown closer to where they live. In addition to meats, fruits and vegetables, consumers can find many locally made items that expand the potential for farm-to-table. These include, but are not limited to, artisanal cheeses, wines, beer, baked goods, milk and other dairy, and honey. Local, sustainable foods are in demand, helping not only local restaurants and merchants, but also the small and medium farms that service these establishments.

Bluewater Grill announces food and wine happenings through June TEMECULA – Bluewater Temecula is now tapping its own craft beers after partnering with a smallbatch brewmaster to create High Spot Beer in Blonde, Pale Ale and IPA varieties, available exclusively at Bluewater. As a tribute to Bluewater’s rich fishing tradition, the beers feature names inspired by famous Southern California fishing spots where the restaurant sustainably harvests much of the fresh seafood and shellfish listed on its lunch and dinner menus. Come out to Bluewater Grill for the Second Tuesday Tasting May 9, where salmon aficionados are put to the taste test to determine the subtle differences between Wild King and Sockeye salmon, and sustainably farmed King and Atlantic salmon will be presented for “Inside Passage Tasting.” The always-surprising results make for a spectacular evening when paired with hand-selected white wines from Oregon and Washington. Cost is $34.95 per person. Bluewater New England Lobster and Clambake will be the featured dishes during the June 13 Bluewater Second Tuesday Tasting on June 13. Bluewater is moving its phenomenally popular New England summer feast and monthlong celebration from July to June to accommodate demand. The June 13 tasting features steamed Maine lobster, Manila clams, fresh corn on the cob, baby red potatoes and crispy coleslaw – and a signature lobster bib, of course. The authentic Massachusetts meal is paired with domestic white wines hand-
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil 1 egg, beaten 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup panko 1/4 cup canola oil 2 tablespoons toasted sesames seeds Lemon wedges for garnish In a bowl, combine crabmeat with mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, sesame oil, egg, salt and 1/4 cup of panko. Stir to blend. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove from refrigerator. Shape one heaping tablespoonful of the mixture into a patty about one and a half inches in diameter. It will be fragile. Place on a plate.
Repeat with remaining mixture. Note: When forming the patties, the cakes should barely hold together. If made in large batches, keep the patties chilled to prevent them from falling apart when cooking them. Pour remaining 3/4 cup of panko into a shallow bowl. Carefully dip each patty into the panko to coat evenly. Return to plate. Next, heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the patties until golden brown about one minute on each side. Using a slotted metal spatula, transfer the cooked crab cakes to paper towels to drain briefly. Serve at once, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and garnished with lemon wedges.

show features a wide range of styles from abstract expressionism to wildlife realism to landscape Impressionism and plenty in between. Lorimar Winery owners said they are making good on their pledge to bring world-class art to the Temecula Valley. The winery has hosted smaller art shows for the past few years, but customer demand and a growing interest in fine art has prompted the gallery to hold what many expect to be the biggest and boldest show yet. “The demand for world-class art has never been stronger in this area,” Dave Lester, the winery’s art gallery director, said. “This show will shine the spotlight on some of the brightest talents in the modern art world both locally and abroad. I expect a very packed house all three days.” Members of the public will get the chance to meet some of the artists during the show and purchase the paintings at a promotional rate.

Junior Art of the Avocado winners announced
Junior Art of the Avocado artists, from back left, Viviana, Abbott, Luke, Zarick and Abigail and in the front from left, Mackenzie, Kisa and Courtesy photo Jolietta, hold their participation certificates, April 12.
FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce office was a happy place as the artists who participated in the inaugural Junior Art of the Avocado competition waited to hear the results at the awards reception, April 12. The judges for the competition had been chosen from the local business community and had cast their ballots the day before. Fallbrook Propane Gas Company is the sponsor of this event, as well as the Art of the Avocado Competition, which is in its 12th year. “Although the Art of the Avocado competition was always open to all artists, any age, we believe that the younger artists did not want to compete with the adults,” Merrill Everett, former president of
Fallbrook Propane Gas Company, said. “That’s why we created a separate competition.” Everett was very enthusiastic for the junior competition and was looking forward to see what the young artists were going to create. Unfortunately, he died March 20 and before the competition was held. “He did not get to see his vision for this competition realized – he would have been so happy to see the children and what they created,” Meredith Gordon of Fallbrook Propane Gas Company said at the reception. “He would have been so proud of each one of them. We are looking forward to seeing what the children will create next year and the years that follow.”
The public can stop by the chamber of commerce office, 111 South Main Avenue, Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to see the artwork. “We are thrilled to feature this year’s inaugural Junior Art of the Avocado competition and display the children’s art here at the chamber,” Lila MacDonald, CEO of the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce, said. “I am grateful to support Meredith and Fallbrook Propane in their endeavors to support children and their art locally.” Anyone wanting more information on upcoming junior art competitions can contact Anita Kimzey, event coordinator, at (714) 222-2462 or register@fallbrookchamberofcommerce.org.
Oak Grove Center to host annual ‘Evening Under the Oaks’ gala and silent auction benefiting at-risk youth MURRIETA – Oak Grove Center, located at 24275 Jefferson Ave., is proud to be partnering with the community for the “Evening Under the Oaks” gala and silent auction, April 29, a relaxing night out featuring delicious local food and exciting auction items. Dinner will feature delectable food and beverages from a variety of the area’s best restaurants and
winery sponsors. Guests are invited to mingle as they place bids in the silent auction including an extensive array of enticing items that were generously donated by local sponsors. Also, back by popular demand, is the live auction for more fast-paced action. This year’s proceeds will help add a baseball field to the facility’s campus, improve technologi-
cal resources for the youth and support a much-needed facilities expansion and enhancement. In addition, the proceeds will help support the children’s fund, which specifically provides assistance for children in Oak Grove’s care who do not have families or are in the greatest financial need. Oak Grove Center is a nonprofit residential, educational and
treatment center with multiple campuses for children throughout California with psychological, emotional and behavioral problems and special needs. Many of these children have suffered abuse and/or neglect. Oak Grove Center’s mission is to rebuild the lives of at-risk children and their families through education, healing, restoring relationships,
building character and instilling hope. In thanks to the generosity of the community through events like “Evening Under the Oaks,” Oak Grove Center is able to provide these children with a stable home, food, medical attention and therapies and a consistent education.

Delighted and curious children walked through the Western Science Center Museum with their parents April 22 at the third annual Inland Empire Science Festival staring wide-eyed at the fossilized remains of “Max” the largest Mastadon found in the Western United States enjoying fun games even taking a look at the sun’s chromosphere through telescopes. The event highlighted the many aspects of paleontology, geology, astronomy, archaeology and today’s earth sciences for both children and adults to make them more aware of the earth and our need to be good stewards of its lifegiving gifts. The museum special event saw almost 500 visitors on Earth Day. The Western Science Center Museum located at 2345 Searl Parkway in Hemet near Diamond Valley Lake is open to the public 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday for a small admission fee. [Left] Members of the Riverside Astrological Society set up their telescopes April 22, at the Western Science Center to let visitors to the third annual Inland Empire Science Festival see the sun’s chromosphere and the mysterious sun spots and flares that affect earth and our solar system.
DeLorean DMC-12 to be featured at Fallbrook Vintage Car Show FALLBROOK – The 52nd annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show will be held Sunday, May 28, at Pala Mesa Resort, and the featured vehicle this year is the DeLorean DMC-12. Open to the public with free parking and admission, the car show will be held rain or shine from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The 2017 show will feature more than 400 show cars, a swap meet with more than 90 vendors, a beer and wine garden, a large children’s play area with jump houses, a variety of food vendors and free live concerts. The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car with gull-wing doors and an innovative fiberglass body structure with a steel backbone chassis, along with external brushed stainless steel body panels. The car was featured in the “Back to the Future” movie trilogy. The 2017 show will also include “Restoration Road,” where restoration vendors, car products and services-related vendors will be located. “Restoration Road” will be adjacent to the show field on the driving range. Swap meet registration is now open for vendors looking to secure a space at the car show. Vendors are encouraged to register early as spaces are limited for this event, which is expected to attract more than 20,000 people. It is first-come, first-served for booth location. For more information, visit www.fallbrookvintagecarclub.org, click on the “Car show” tab, and click on “Purchase a Swap Space.” The Fallbrook Vintage Car Show is put on by the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club, and proceeds from the event benefit local nonprofit organizations.

Composite decking can be a smart choice
Composite decking can mimic the look of wood, but requires much less maintenance. Courtesy photo
TEMECULA – Decks add character and functionality to a home, increasing outdoor entertaining space and oftentimes improving
the resale value of a home. Homeowners have various options when choosing decking materials, but one such option, composite deck-
ing, is growing in popularity. Decks used to primarily be made from pressure-treated lumber. While lumber remains a popular material, more and more homeowners are opting for composite decking products. As anyone who has pressure-washed, stained and sealed wood decks can attest, such spaces require lots of upkeep to look new year after year. Composite decks require much less maintenance, making them highly attractive to homeowners who would rather spend time using their decks instead of maintaining them. Composite decking is any type of decking material that is formulated from different recycled materials. The majority of these materials include hard plastic and wood shavings of pulp. Unlike wood, which can fade, crack and rot, composite decking, which has been available for roughly a decade, does not degrade quickly
Menifee 27070 Sun City Blvd. Days on Market 4 2 1 295 162 212 54 26 56 18 11 12 26 42 21 11 23 45 10 7 0 9 75 12 43 1 19 48 38 35 347 71 141 4 95 86 121 61 88 29 19 14 20 35 75 25 33 53 4 52 16 7 43 0 0 8 22 1 4 3 2 24 8 5 4 125 89 45 33 17 3 6 6
When comparing composite decking brands, look mainly at the colors, materials used in the composition and the fastening systems. Many are fastened with regular deck screws, offers This Old House. The newer systems have channels for hidden fastening, and the composite deck tiles snap into place. Composite decks do have a few drawbacks. They can be expensive – nearly double the initial cost of wood decks. And although they don’t rot, composite planks can scratch. Without refinishing, damaged boards will need to be replaced. Harsh chemicals may fade color and damage the composite materials, so caution is needed. Composite decking remains an in-demand choice for outdoor spaces. Low-maintenance and long-lasting, these decks have quickly become favorites among homeowners.
and requires very little upkeep. Available in a variety of wood colors to match outdoor decor, composite decks also can feature artificial wood grains to make them look similar to wood planks. Although composite decks are not completely impervious to the elements, with some occasional washing to impede mold growth and new technology that has improved stain-resistance, many of the pitfalls of other materials can be avoided with composite decks. Composite decking fits in with eco-friendly lifestyles. The planks are made from recycled materials that would normally end up in landfills. Products from Trex, a popular composite decking manufacturer, are made from 1.5 million shopping bags and wood mill waste. As composite decks do not rot away and are long-lasting, they will not need to be replaced frequently, which is another ecofriendly benefit.
Steps to take before an appraiser’s visit TEMECULA – Homeowners unfamiliar with the appraisal process might not know if there is anything they can do to make the process go more smoothly. While certain variables involved in the appraisal process, such as location of the home and the
value of surrounding homes, are beyond homeowners’ control, the Appraisal Institute recommends homeowners take the following steps before an appraiser visits their home. Clean the house. A dirty home that is full of clutter will not make
the best impression on appraisers. Dirty homes may be vulnerable to insect infestations that can lead to structural problems with the home. While a dirty home is not necessarily an indicator of infestations or a reflection of a home’s value, a clean home will create a stronger

a survey of the house and property; a deed or title report; a recent tax bill; if applicable, a list of items to be sold with the house; purchase history of the home; and the original plans and specifications of the home. Inform the appraiser about recent improvements. Homeowners can inform appraisers about any recent improvements to the home and the cost of those improvements. The value of home improvements regarding a home’s appraisal value vary depending on a host of variables, but having such information at the ready can help appraisers make the most informed appraisal possible.
first impression with the appraiser. Make any necessary repairs ahead of the appointment. Homeowners who have been putting off repairs should make them before the appraiser arrives. Homes with repairs that still need to be made will likely be valued less than similar homes with no such repair issues. Though repairs can be costly, investing in home repairs will likely increase both the appraisal and resale value of the home. Obtain all necessary documents before the appraiser arrives. Homeowners who have certain documentation at the ready can speed up the appraisal process. Such documentation may include LIC #3

many homes he or she turns over on average. Think about using an agent who is a full-time real estate professional, rather than one who only dabbles part-time. Consider which geographic areas the agent handles. It’s best to find an agent who is familiar with a particular town, city or even subdivision. Assess the agent’s personality and ability to remain calm under pressure. He or she can then extend that placid demeanor on to buyers or sellers who may be feeling stressed by the prospect of home ownership.
TEMECULA – Real estate agents help buyers and sellers through the often-complicated process of navigating the real estate market. Individuals not only want to find an agent with expertise, but also one with whom they have a strong rapport. By asking agents certain questions up front, prospective homebuyers and sellers can find the right real estate agent for their needs and save time and money in the process. The following tips can help buyers and sellers find the right agent. Find out how long the agent has been in the business, including how

equate levels of insulation in the attic that wouldn’t meet today’s building code. Topping it up will help reduce energy consumption and keep your house cooler in the summer months. A great product for this task is Roxul ComfortBatt insulation. It’s easy to install, cuts simply with a serrated blade or bread knife and protects against fire, moisture and mold. Aim for a depth of 16 inches or an R-value of 50. Insulating properly could also provide added benefits, such as improving the longevity of your air conditioner by reducing stress on the unit as temperatures rise. Inspect your roof and make minor repairs. Winter can be especially hard on a roof. Look for ice, hail or water damage. Replace any cracked or missing shingles and clear any debris. Clean your gutters. It’s not glamorous work, but your home’s gutters play an essential role in moving water away from your home and preventing damage. Consider installing gutter guards to ensure your gutters remain functional and free from debris. Inspect windows and doors and re-caulk where necessary. Because a proper seal is essential in both heating and cooling seasons, this job should be performed twice a year to protect against drafts and moisture, and to keep insects out.

Top 10 questions ‘some’ real estate agents hate! Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Not all real estate agents are created equal. To help you seek the advice of an agent when selling or buying your home, you need some good information before you make any moves. By doing so could save you thousands of dollars. Interviewing multiple agents before hiring one and knowing what to ask 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 may prefer that you don’t ask these questions, since the knowledge you’ll gain from their honest answers will give you a very good idea about what outcome you can expect from using them as an agent. What makes you different? Why should I list my home with you? It’s a much tougher real estate market than it was a decade ago. What unique marketing plans and programs does this agent have in place to make sure that your home stands out favorably versus other competing homes? What things does this agent offer you that others don’t to help you sell your home in the least amount of time with the least amount of hassle and for the most amount of money?
Does your broker control your advertising or do you? If your agent is not in control of their own advertising, then your home will be competing for advertising space not only with this agent’s other listings, but also with the listings of every other agent in the brokerage. On average, when your listings sell, how close is the selling price to the asking price? This information is available from our local Board of Realtors®. Is this agent’s performance higher or lower than the board average? Their performance on this measurement will help you predict how high a price you will get for the sale of your home. On average, how long does it take for your listings to sell? This information is also available from our local Board of Realtors®. Does this agent tend to sell faster or slower than the board average? Their performance on this measurement will help you predict how long your home will be on the market before it sells. How many buyers are you currently working with? Obviously, the more buyers your agent is working with, the better your chances are of selling your home quickly. It will also impact price because an agent with many buyers can set up an auction-like atmosphere where many buyers bid on your home at the same time. Ask them to describe the system they have for attracting buyers.

Do you have a reference list of clients I could contact? Ask to see this list and then proceed to spot check some of the names. What happens if I’m not happy with the job you are doing to get my home sold? Can I cancel my listing contract? Be wary of agents that lock you into a lengthy listing contract where they can get out of (by ceasing to effectively market your home) but you can’t. There are usually penalties and broker protection periods which safeguard the agent’s interests, but not yours. How confident is your agent in the service they will provide you? Will they allow you to cancel your contract without penalty if you’re not satisfied with the service provided? Evaluate each agent’s responses to these 10 questions carefully and objectively. Who will do the best job for you? These questions will help you decide. Call us today, (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need enabling you to make an informed, educated decision.

What are your marketing plans for my home? How much money does this agent spend in advertising the homes they list versus the other agents you are interviewing? In what media (newspaper, magazine, TV etc.) does this agent advertise? What do they know about the effectiveness of one medium over the other?
Special Of The Week Lot #17

What is your company’s track record and reputation in the marketplace? It may seem like everywhere you look, real estate agents are boasting about being No. 1 for this or that, or quoting you the number of homes they’ve sold. If you’re like many homeowners, you’ve probably become immune to much of this information. After all, you ask, “Why should I care about how many homes one agent sold over another. The only thing I care about is whether they can sell my home quickly for the most amount of money.” Well, because you want your home sold fast and for top dollar, you should be asking the agents you interview how many homes they have sold. I’m sure you will agree that success in real estate is selling homes. If one agent is selling a lot of homes where another is selling only a handful, ask yourself why this might be? What things are these two agents doing differently? You may be surprised to know that many agents sell fewer than five homes a year. This volume makes it difficult for them to do full impact marketing on your home, because they can’t raise the money it takes to afford the advertising and special programs to give your home a high profile. Also, at this low level, they probably can’t afford to hire an assistant, which means that they’re running around trying to do all the components of the job themselves. Bottom line, their service to you may suffer.
What has your company sold in my area? Agents should bring you a complete listing of both their own and other comparable sales in your area.

Recognizing separation anxiety in dogs TEMECULA – Dogs that appear stressed or nervous when their owners leave the house or even the room may be experiencing a common problem known as separation anxiety. Many dogs become apprehensive when their owners are out of view, and such apprehension can be very tough on the dogs. The Humane Society of the United States says severe separation anxiety may be exhibited by extreme behavior problems and destructive actions. Dogs may engage in destructive chewing, excessive barking that annoys neighbors,
digging or scratching at windows, breaking out of cages or enclosures, or urination and defecation, even among house-trained dogs. Cases of separation anxiety may be simulated or true, according to professional dog expert Cesar Millan. Some attention-seeking dogs learn the behavior, knowing it will garner attention – even if it’s for the wrong reasons. True separation anxiety is a genuinely stressful event for dogs. When treating dogs with separation anxiety, the ASPCA advises that owners should aim to resolve the
dog’s underlying anxiety and help it to grow accustomed to being alone for long periods of time. This can begin through early socialization as a puppy. Try these techniques. While it’s tempting to take a new puppy with you everywhere or lavish constant attention on the dog, this could be setting you up for problems later on. Help the dog feel secure by not being the constant center of entertainment. Reinforce lessons that the dog will have to busy itself with toys from time to time. Many dog-related problems result
from ill-established leadership roles in a house. Dogs follow a pack mentality, and it’s important for pet owners to constantly reinforce their role as pack leader so that the dog does not try to push boundaries. Knowing the pack order can relieve some of the dog’s stress. Exercise may help reduce anxiety. Tired dogs are less likely to grow bored and more likely to find contentment by sleeping instead of being destructive. Exercise, discipline and then affection are the common mantras of dog trainers. Don’t make a fuss when coming
or going. This way the dog doesn’t associate your leaving with a big deal, nor your coming home as something that is the pinnacle of his day. Be calm and consistent, and only reward desirable behavior. Provide comforting items, like worn clothes that smell like you. Also, train the dog to recognize that a particular word or action signals your eventual return. Talk to a vet if separation anxiety has gotten out of control. Temporary administering of a sedative may help pets and their owners as the dogs continues to be trained.
