Lake Elsinore Special Election
Results
Volume 17, Issue 18
‘Every 15 Minutes’ shows students the dangers of drinking and driving
‘Measure A’ appears to be headed for defeat Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Voters in Lake Elsinore appear to be overwhelmingly against Measure A, otherwise known as the Alberhill Villages Specific Plan, in a special election, Tuesday, May 2. With all 12 precincts reporting only 414 yes votes were cast for Measure A which had a projected loss of somewhere between $33 million and $243 million based on a variety of factors including a sports park, inclusion in the CFDs and other issues that could arise. More than 2,900 – 2,935 to be exact – no votes were cast. Approximately 270 Vote-byMail, 60 Provisional and eight damaged ballots that require duplication still must be processed. Ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day and received no later than Friday, May 5, also remain to be counted. Election results are not final until the vote has been certified by the California Secretary of State’s office. The next updated results will be posted on www.myvalleynews. com as they become available. INDEX Local ........................................ A-1 Sports ......................................

LAKE ELSINORE – Doug McAlister, executive director of the Economic Development Coalition, presented the 2017 State of the Region to a full house April 27 at The Diamond Club at Storm Stadium. His message characterized the region as the “Valley of Innovation” with potential to be “The Future of Southern California.” The audience included elected officials, city and county employees, public policy leaders and industry experts, as well as numerous business and community leaders. “The clock is ticking,” McAlister said. “And it appears that a window of opportunity is opening. The question is, are we ready for it?” McAlister said that the inland southwest region has been a very well-kept secret, but its position, people and progress create many positives that bring it to the forefront of places in California to do business. He stated that California has the world’s sixth-largest economy and is tied with Texas as the top state
for manufacturing with over $255 million. “It is only going to take one region stepping up permanently to put our entire state ahead of every other state in the union … America’s economic future is connected, changeable, and the place to change it most surely, is at the local level,” he said. Referring to the book, “The Coming Jobs War” by Gallup Corporation CEO Jim Clifton, McAlister said that over the next 30 years the global gross domestic product will grow to an estimated $200 trillion, creating “an additional $140 trillion worth of customers, employees, new businesses and equity.” He postulated that the question is not “if” or “when” but “where,” suggesting that this region could be the next “Economic Empire,” being the ones to fulfill the demand for good jobs. McAlister quoted Clifton and said “…realize that every decision (we) make should consider the impact, first and foremost, on good jobs… (We) succeed (only)

Work will soon begin on a $51 million project that is aimed at unplugging Temecula’s southernmost freeway bottleneck. That start, which is now being painstakingly strategized and scheduled, marks a key juncture in Temecula’s 15-year push to unravel the knotted freeway ramps that serve the city’s crucial southern corridor. “We are so ready,” said Mayor Maryann Edwards. “It can’t come soon enough.” Edwards and other city officials cite the big picture gains – the longterm benefits that will come when the existing ramps at Interstate 15 and Temecula Parkway are finally
expanded and reconfigured. Yet those officials and others concede that the work set to occur over the next 18 months to two years will likely tangle traffic, strain nerves and amplify driver angst. “We’re the first to admit that there be some congestion with this (project), but we’re going to do our best to minimize it,” Greg Butler, Temecula’s assistant city manager, said in a separate interview. The project, which will transform the west side of I-15 at that location, will be one of the most closely-watched city improvements in years. Concerns run high because the ramps serve Temecula’s hospital, its

Founded by Dr. Gordy Klatt in Washington in 1985, the Relay For Life movement is the world’s largest fundraising event to save lives from cancer. Uniting communities across the globe, the group celebrates people who have battled cancer, remembers loved ones lost and takes action for lifesaving change. During Relay For Life events, members of each team take
turns walking or running around the track or path. Teams participate in fundraising in the months leading up to the event. Funds raised help the American Cancer Society provide free information and support for people facing the disease and fund cancer research that will help protect future generations. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Society has invested more than $4.5 billion in research since 1946 and has funded more than 20,000 scientists at more than 1,000 institutions nationwide. In addition to the support of the community, Relay For Life of Murrieta is also supported by many
local businesses and organizations. This year’s sponsors include Jack In the Box, Maxx Pizza, Ralphs and Food4Less, Murrieta Valley Unified School District, Murrieta Mesa High School, Lake Elsinore Outlets, Calvary Murrieta, Jefferson Self Storage, Photography by Sharisse, Freedom RV, Fresh Concepts and Tresinos.

While being a great educational tool, the Ready for Wildfire app also provides critical wildfire alerts. Users can sign-up for customized alerts that will send a text or push notification to their device when CAL FIRE is responding or assisting to a wildfire in their area. Additionally, users can set up
alerts for single counties, multiple counties, or statewide. If a user travels or enjoys recreating in forested areas, CAL FIRE has that covered, too. The app lets users enable an alert system to notify them if a wildfire is reported within 30 miles of their device. “One of the many benefits of our new Ready for Wildfire app is the timely and accurate information it provides to residents about a wildfire in their area,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL FIRE director and

emphasizing the right location, leadership, stakeholders, employees, safety, education and market. The region is geographically central to major economic hubs, has invested in infrastructure with access to major airports and transportation systems, is the second largest service sector in the nation and still has the physical room and land for growth. His presentation on people and leadership included presenting Ovation awards to Truax Development for “Innovation in Preservation,” California State University San Marcos’s Temecula campus for “Innovation in Corporate Collaboration” and City by App for “Innovation.” McAlister described an upcoming Economic Development Coalition collaborative innovation, the Virtual Real Estate Portal, that will allow investors and developers to view properties in the cities and region as “3D CGI works of art” complete with sample summaries of the costs to develop those properties. “When they compare costs to do the same thing in other parts of California, they’ll see why they should be focused on our region for their future,” he said. “We’ll also launch a Commuter Job Board. This portal will allow our own residents that currently have to commute hours each day to blind-post their resumes. And we’ll market this to our local employers. We already have a significant pool of highly-skilled, highly-educated and highly-motivated professionals in our region. Job One is Jobs Won!” McAlister proclaimed that the engine has been fired up “igniting a robust economic development strategy “that has led Wildomar to overcome every obstacle the state has thrown at it, that has led Murrieta to become a tech, biotech and medical facility magnet and job-creating machine, that has led Menifee to drastically improve their infrastructure and innovatively attract retail from around the world, that has led Lake Elsinore to become the “Action Sports Capital of the World,” that has led Temecula to almost one billion dollars in tourism each year along with becoming a business and retail giant.” Public safety is a major factor. “According to the FBI, our region

This meeting was intended to “make the case for the right story to be told.” The next event in October will be “outward-facing designed to attract worldwide attention to our region . . . so we can tell the right story.” The Economic Development Coalition consists of six cities: Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake and

Local More improvements approved for La Laguna RV Park Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Lake Elsinore City Council approved two agenda items totaling $441,440 for improvements to the La Laguna RV Resort. The money will be spent on restroom and shower facilities as well of the purchase of pre-designed and engineered, canopy shade structures. The approval is part of the La Laguna RV Resort Rehabilitation Project. The three restroom and shower facilities will cost $129,404 each or $338,212 and will include delivery. The buildings are delivered as two modules with a separate center roof section which is installed after the two modules are placed and aligned, according to the supporting documentation presented to council. To prepare the site, enough room will need to be made available for a crane and the transport equipment. Once the building is assembled and connected to the utilities, it will be ready for service. The pricing includes required fixtures and accessories requested by the city and Wallis Concrete will have a representative on-site to receive the building at the time of delivery, which will be announced later. In a report reviewed by councilmembers before the meeting, staff explained that each of the restroom facilities would include three bathroom stalls, three sinks and three shower stations, and they would be strategically located throughout the resort. All three buildings are handicap accessible, meet local building codes and are designed to satisfy “guidelines of The International Energy Conservation Code standards and current title 24 requirements for energy conservation, energy efficiency in envelope design, mechanical systems, light-
Melendez introduces ‘Campus Free Speech Act’ SACRAMENTO –Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez, RLake Elsinore, announced Monday, May 1, she introduced legislation to ensure the First Amendment Right of Freedom of Speech is protected and preserved throughout all of California’s college campuses. “The First Amendment is a cornerstone to this country’s founding document. Our Constitution is clear, all persons, despite race, religion, or creed, have the right to freely voice their opinion without fear of retribution,” Melendez said. “Recently, we’ve seen a trend on California’s college campuses of stifling free speech. The fact that college administrators have done nothing to ensure all of their students’ liberties are protected is shameful and un-American.” Assembly Constitutional Amendment 14, also known as the Campus Free Speech Act, will create an official, statewide policy, affirming the importance of freedom of expression on all college campuses; thus, nullifying any existing restrictive speech codes in the process, prevents administrators from dis-inviting speakers – no matter how controversial – from whom members of the campus community wish to hear speak and establishes a system of disciplinary sanctions for students, and anyone else, who interferes with the free speech right of others and reaffirm the principle that universities, at the official institutional level, ought to remain neutral on issues of public controversy to encourage the widest possible range of opinion and dialogue within the university itself. The amendment also ensures students will be informed of the official policy of free expression at their freshman orientation and authorize a special subcommittee of the University board of trustees to issue a yearly report to the public, the Trustees, the Governor, and the Legislature on the administrative handling of free speech issues on their respective campuses. “Liberty cannot live without the freedom to speak and nowhere is that more important than on college campuses where we educate the leaders of tomorrow,” Melendez said. “The institutional silencing of individuals because of differing political ideology threatens the very foundation upon which our country was built.” 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.

‘Topping Ceremony’ marks milestone for Pechanga Resort & Casino Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Scores of people – elected officials, local dignitaries, construction workers and management, Pechanga tribal members and Pechanga team members, as well as media from all over – gathered to witness the historic “Topping Ceremony’ of the new addition that will make the resort and casino the largest on the West Coast. The “topping out” featured the pouring of the final 710 tons of concrete into the upper framing – 14 stories high—of the new hotel tower that will house 568 rooms and suites. A huge crane hoisted a car-sized concrete-filled bucket and American flag to the top of the south tower; a small sacred oak, preserved from the property, hitched a ride on the bucket and was placed atop the tower as a symbol of strength and perseverance. The ceremonial tree will be planted later near the
pool area. “Today we celebrate the topping out of this new tower which will give us 568 brand-new AAA FourDiamond rooms,” Edith Atwood, president of the Pechanga Development Corporation, said. “When our resort expansion is done in December, guests will be able to enjoy 13 restaurants, 1,100 rooms and suites, a 4 1/2-acre pool complex, a twostory luxury spa, lots of event space, a beautiful championship 18-hole golf course and a casino floor that’s bigger and better than any on the West Coast.” The completed complex will provide over 200,000 square feet of casino floor, 100,000 square feet of indoor meeting and convention space and another 174,500 square feet outdoors. Pool areas will feature 13 pools and spas, including children-friendly areas. A large expanse of roof will be “green.” “This is a very special day,” Dick Rizzo of Tutor and Perini, general
contractor for the original building and now the project expansion, said. “Our journey started 16 years ago, and I want to extend our sincere gratitude on behalf of our over 100 subcontractors and vendors for allowing us to be partners on one of the most premier destination resorts in the country.” The two-year expansion project provided 3,000 construction-related jobs. Materials were largely sourced from Southern California. Builders poured 81,000 tons of concrete and used 2,174 tons of reinforcing steel. The base of the intersecting hotel towers is 70 feet wide and 13 feet deep, allowing for a tunnel system for Pechanga team members to move throughout the property for efficient guest service. “This is a testament to what we believed in when we had a vacant lot and a few trailers, then 45 trailers, then a permanent casino,” Andrew Masiel, Sr, Pechanga Development Corp. board member, said.

Atwood complimented the dedicated involvement of Patrick Murphy, another board member, who “was an instrumental part of the construction of the original casino and brought his wealth of knowledge and experience to the many moving parts of this project.” “Today is a good day for the Pechanga people and the local community,” Murphy said. “It is another step in our legacy and provides jobs and education for future members of our tribe. We’ve come a long way from tents and trailers. Planning, construction and building is one thing, but it takes a team. It’s been a great journey.” Atwood recognized Murphy’s son, Michael, a recent California State University San Marcos business graduate and a construction intern on this project, as part of the future generation that will carry on the tribe’s legacy. “It is a good thing that we can see the sun, moon and sky today,” Mark Macarro, Pechanga tribal chairman said. “Let me share some numbers: 16, 32, 3,000, 560, 5,800, 550 million, 1.6 billion, 20. “This year this area experienced 16 inches of rain; we had 32” on our tribal rain gauge. Despite that, thanks to many tireless workers, the project is on schedule. This project provides 3,000 regional construction jobs. The expansion will create
560 permanent jobs, bringing our total employment to 5,800. This is a great economic engine that contributes to our success. This expansion will result in a $550 million increase over our current $1.1 billion economic impact. That is $1.6 billion in direct and indirect economic impact to the local economy. “This expansion positions us well for the next 20 years. We will be continually challenged, politically, economically, culturally. We are positioning for unknown economic challenges like internet gaming. This economic engine has so far allowed us to face cultural challenges, like stopping the Liberty Quarry. We would not have envisioned at the time of our first building that within 20 years we would be doubling the size of our resort. We look forward to the next 20 years to continue our growth and our legacy.”
Pechanga Tribal Chairman Mark Macarro expounded on the benefits to the local economy of the expansion of the Pechanga Resort & Casino.

County initiates Winchester general plan proceedings Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The community vision which was described in the Winchester land use study will undergo the appropriate general plan amendment proceedings. Riverside County board of supervisors’ approval is necessary to initiate general plan amendment proceedings regardless of whether the general plan amendment is proposed by a developer or by the county. The April 11 proceedings approval for the county-initiated proposal was by a 3-0 vote with John Tavaglione absent and one vacant seat. The plan covers approximately 1,480 acres and 225 parcels generally east of Leon Road, south of Wickard Road, west of Abbott Road and north of Scott Road, along with some properties east of Green Avenue, south of Stetson Avenue, west of California Avenue and north of Simpson Road. The land currently has foundation components of rural
FREEWAY from page A-1 historic business district, a heavily-trafficked residential and commercial corridor and a rapidlyexpanding Indian casino and resort. Temecula Valley Hospital has become a regional medical hub since it opened in October 2013. The closure of Fallbrook’s community hospital in November 2014 boosted the flow of residents from that region to Temecula for hospital services and specialty medical skills. The daily congestion that snarls northbound commuters on I-15 has periodically delayed ambulance crews that shuttle between the Fallbrook area and Temecula. Thus, city staff has taken the medical community’s concerns to heart, Butler said. He said Temecula is committed to keeping traffic flowing during the construction work and consistently informing motorists about the timing and nuances of the improvement project. Butler and other officials and observers say the long-term benefits will be worth the bother. “Yes, there will be congestion and there will be slow downs, but it’s the temporary pain you put up with in exchange for the (future) relief you receive,” said Ron Bradley, who served as Temecula’s city manager from 1994 to 1998. The ramps improvement project took a big leap forward April 25, which is when Temecula council members unanimously approved a $23.6 million construction contract with an Irvine-based firm. The project will be the first major facelift for a freeway interchange that dates to the 1970s, which is when I-15 started to take shape and Highway 79 looped its way through a bucolic community. Temecula became a city in December 1989, amid waves of growth that spun off shopping centers and housing tracts. Freeway bridges and ramps were quickly impacted as the city’s population exploded. The initial projects aimed at easing traffic jams on and around Temecula’s freeway bridges and ramps focused on Winchester and Rancho California roads. As those projects were planned and completed, the city’s southernmost ramps emerged as a top priority. The city purchased a 35-acre tract flanking the existing Temecula Parkway interchange in the fall of 2004 for $7.1 million. Another 1.2 acres – land that is now blanketed by an ARCO AM PM gas station, convenience store and car wash – was added in June 2013 at a cost to the city of $5.6 million. That cluster of commercial buildings will be razed as part of the ramps project. The timing of that demolition work has not been determined. The start of the ramp work will also force many carpoolers to find new places to park their vehicles. For years, vacant land at the south end of Old Town Front Street has been used as an unauthorized park-and-ride lot. Scores of vehicles can be spotted on the dirtcrusted city land most weekdays. In February 2016, the council agreed to pay a Bakersfield company nearly $1.6 million to build a replacement park-and-ride lot at Temecula Parkway and La Paz Street. At the time, city officials anticipated that it would take about seven months to build the replacement lot. But work has stopped at that site and no progress has been made in months. Difficulties surfaced with the contractor, Butler said, and the city hopes to seek new bids in a
and rural community, and if the amendment is approved the foundation component would become community development. The land use designations are currently rural residential and estate density residential, and the proposal is to change the designations to low density residential, medium density residential, commercial retail, business park and light industrial. When the process for the actual general plan amendment works its way through the public review process including environmental review and hearings by the county’s planning commission as well as the board of supervisors, a rezone proposal is expected to be included. The parcels currently have six different zoning classifications: rural residential, controlled development area with mobile homes - 2 1/2 acre minimum, light agriculture - 2 1/2 acre minimum, light agriculture - 5 acre minimum, light agriculture - 10 acre minimum, and heavy agriculture - 10 acre minimum.
The conceptual Winchester land use study was prepared by Terra Verde Planning in 2012 and included community outreach with input. The modification of land use designations is expected to strengthen the area’s economic position based on the future alignment of state Route 79, future plans involving HemetRyan Airport and land use designations of surrounding incorporated cities. The general plan amendment proceedings will incorporate the Winchester land use study recommendations when evaluating land use patterns and policies and will also evaluate the zoning, infrastructure capacity and design guidelines. The study outreach efforts indicated that Winchester may become a significant tourist and transit hub due to its proximity to a rail line, state Route 79, Domenigoni Parkway and Diamond Valley Lake. The county’s General Plan Advisory Committee considered the proposal to initiate general plan amendment proceedings at the
few months to complete that parking lot work. City officials note the availability of spaces at a church about a mile away from the construction site that were designated years ago as an authorized park-and-ride lot. Once the ramp replacement work is finished, Butler said the improvements will bring the greatest relief to southbound drivers who exit I-15 at Temecula Parkway. The project is expected to cut the queue of southbound vehicles that stacks up as drivers wait to exit the freeway. The new configuration
will whisk southbound drivers off the freeway and directly onto Temecula Parkway or Old Town Front Street. Butler said he can watch the ebb and flow of exiting southbound vehicles throughout the day from his City Hall office. He predicted that those clumps of exiting cars and trucks will someday fade into a distant memory. “That (project) should be a tremendous impact,” he said. “I predict that (exit queue) will be dramatically reduced, if not eliminated.”
committee’s Oct. 6 meeting. The unanimous vote to recommend initiation was preceded by comments that higher density development should be considered near future transit stations. The planning commission’s Dec. 6 hearing included comments that the amendment would need to address infrastructure constraints to support future development opportunities, and the planning commission also recommended that the Valley-Wide Recreation and Park District be included as a major stakeholder so that recreational opportunities to attract tourists to the
area can be expanded. If general plan amendment proceedings are initiated by a developer that developer reimburses the county for the cost of staff and consultant time and for other county expenses. Because the proceedings based on the Winchester land use study are being initiated by the county, the county will cover the estimated $987,743 cost for the general plan amendment, zone consistency program and environmental analysis. If funds are available, the actual general plan amendment and rezone are expected to occur during fiscal year 2019-2020.

HS Baseball: Linfield defeats Woodcrest for first time in Ambassador League history SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
TEMECULA – It could not have been written better. The perennial Ambassador League baseball powerhouse Woodcrest Christian Royals were in town coming to play Linfield Christian and clinch the Ambassador League pennant. The only problem? A group of determined young men with a list of goals set many weeks ago in a discussion with Linfield Head Coach Ken Whitworth. “I don’t want us to have good season. I want us to have a great season!” exclaimed Whitworth. The list included individual goals for the various players to work on and become better in many ways other than just baseball. School, hard work, college, team, family, wrapped in Christian faith. On the field, play well enough to have a shot at winning league, and get the opportunity to bid into CIF post season play. A big part of that shot at league would include defeating

Woodcrest Christian. In the second round of Ambassador League play, the Lions started defensively in the field getting two outs with a runner on first, and Woodcrest’s cleanup hitter promptly hit a ball 400 feet into the right field trees. That home run represented nothing had changed. Things were
as they should be with the Royals putting Linfield in their place as it did every year, second place. Woodcrest’s team pitching ERA was less than 2 with their aces on the mound all year and already the Lions were down 2-0 in the top of the first inning, but these young Linfield Lion men, who made commitments

and knew were in control of their own destiny, went on a hitting tear and never looked back. The Lions scored every inning, scattered 12 hits and had 2 home runs from seniors Connor Kostecka and Kevin Wiseman, who also extended his league leading pitching, (.89 ERA & 80 strikeouts) shutting out the Royals for the next 4 innings from the mound. Cooper Whitworth, Kostecka, and Luke Stratton had a multiple-hit
day and drove in 9 of the 12 runs. By the bottom of the fifth inning the Linfield Lions had defeated Woodcrest for the first time in Ambassador League history, with a walk off double by Stratton, scoring enough runs to qualify for a 10-run “Mercy Rule.” Linfield will continue their pursuit of a league title, playing their next game against Aquinas at home this week.

Hemet High School’s mountain bike team races to complete laps and Courtesy photo earn points in their final race of the season.
HEMET – Hemet High School’s mountain bike team successfully ends its season. The 12-member team, comprised of six Hemet High School students, five Western Center Academy students and one Idyllwild School student, will be competing in the Southern California high school cycling league finals in Tehachapi, California in Kern County April 29-30. The team has already competed in four races this season and is currently ranked eighth in their division. Peter Kirkham, the Hemet High mountain bike coach, created the team back in 2008. Under his leadership, the team has made it to the state championships every year since its inception in 2011. In 2012, the team placed fifth in the state competition out of 22 teams. Team
members earn points as a team and individually as they complete laps based on their level. Freshman and sophomore girls and boys race two laps, junior varsity girls complete two laps, junior varsity boys and varsity girls complete three laps and varsity boys race four laps. Each lap is typically between 5-6 miles in distance. In order to prepare for the races, the team has set aside considerable time for practice. They practice three times per week for an hour and a half to two hours and have a two-to-three hour ride Saturdays, providing the team does not race that Saturday. The team normally practices in the surrounding foothills of the school, most typically at Simpson Park.

Rancho Viejo student named regional winner in writing contest HEMET – Thomasyna Towery, a seventh grade student from Hemet Unified School District was named a regional winner in the 18th annual Advancement Via Individual Determination Write-Off contest. She was honored at a ceremony March 21 at the University of Redlands. Towery of Rancho Viejo Middle School competed last year in the competition, but was not named a regional winner. She said she was thrilled to have progressed from
last year. This year, students were asked to write an essay based on their opinion on whether college athletes should be paid. Students were given 10 minutes to read the question and brainstorm how they would write their essay, 30 minutes to write the essay and five minutes to edit. The timed writing contest is modeled after the University of California’s Analytical Writing Exam. Thomasyna said she has always
enjoyed writing and plans on competing in the contest next year. She also loves to read and thinks that it helps make her writing stronger. She said both reading and writing give her an escape if she is having a bad day. Despite her love of writing, Thomasyna is interested in entering the medical field. She hopes to attend the University of California San Diego and study to become a pediatrician.

Hemet and Tahquitz high schools’ symphonic bands receive superior ratings at band festival HEMET – Hemet High School and Tahquitz High School’s symphonic bands competed in the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association’s Band and Orchestra District Festival. Both bands received superior ratings, the highest rating available, at the district-level competition where 17 bands competed. Hemet High’s band received unanimous superior ratings during the competition from all three judges and also the sight reading judge. The band played the First
Suite in E-flat by Gustav Holst and “El Capitan” by John Philip Sousa. This event is the second festival Hemet High has participated in this year. Their first competition was in January; they also received unanimous superior ratings. “I’m very proud of the work these young people have put toward this performance,” Hemet High’s band director Dan Boulton said. “They played from the heart and really stepped up to have a great performance.” This event was the first festival of
the season for the Tahquitz High’s symphonic band. The band played “American Elegy” by Frank Ticheli and American Folk Rhapsody No. 1 by Clare Grudman. “The students in the symphonic band have been working diligently on their music for this festival,” Tahquitz High’s band director Jeremy Pietsch said, “Every day they come into class hungry to improve their musical concepts, ideas and nuances. They definitely earned their rating.”

Cervantes receives Rome program scholarship IRVING, Texas – Stephanie Cervantes, a University of Dallas student from Temecula was one of nearly two dozen students awarded a scholarship during the fall 2016 semester to study abroad as part of the university’s nationally recognized Rome program. Cervantes was awarded the Charles T. Uhl
Rome Scholarship. Since 1970, students at the University of Dallas have had the opportunity to spend a semester in Rome studying, traveling and experiencing the art, architecture, literature, philosophy and deeds that form the basis of Western civilization.
In 1994, the university opened its Eugene Constantin Campus, which has helped distinguish the University of Dallas as one of the nation’s top study abroad schools. For more information on the University of Dallas Rome programs for undergraduates, high school students and adults, visit www.
udallas.edu/rome. The University of Dallas, located in a metropolitan area of nearly 7 million people, is a leading Catholic university widely recognized for academic excellence by wellknown publications, organizations and accrediting bodies. It offers distinctive individual undergradu-
ate, graduate and doctoral programs in the liberal arts, business and ministry that are characterized by an exceptional, engaged faculty, a commitment to shaping principled, well-skilled leaders and academic rigor in the Catholic intellectual tradition. For more information, visit www.udallas.edu.
Murrieta Valley High School receives $10,000 donation to help students learning manufacturing skills MURRIETA – M. Michael Jensen from the Haas Factory Outlet Anaheim presented Murrieta Valley High School teacher Kevin Bradley with a $10,000 check to help support students who are learning manufacturing and programming skills on the school’s new Haas TM1P computer numerical control mill
machine. Bradley used funds from a grant to purchase the machine, which is the most popular CNC brand for all types of manufacturers around the world. “After we got the Haas machine,” Bradley said. “I found out the company is very generous in their support of students who want to go
into the industry.” Students use AutoCAD, a commercial computer-aided design and drafting software application, and a computer-aided manufacturing program to program the machine. “This machine can make parts out of aluminum, metal, plastic, any kind of material or part you can think of,” Bradley said.
The goal of the grant was to bring advanced manufacturing to the school, he said. “This machine is the cornerstone of advanced manufacturing,” Bradley said. “Manufacturing is growing and people who operate these machines can make between $10 and $12 an hour but people who program them can make up to $75
an hour.” When Jensen presented the check, he confirmed there is a high potential for future jobs. “There are thousands of companies in the Inland Empire with these machines, and they are all looking for people to run them,” Bradley said. “My students are super excited about learning to operate this.”

CID funds allocated for Santa Rosa Plateau field trips Joe Naiman JANIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of $3,500 of District 3 Community Improvement Designation funds for Santa Rosa Plateau field trips, a San Jacinto student conference, the Murrieta/Temecula Fitness Challenge, and the Lemon Lily Festival in Idyllwild.
The supervisors’ 4-0 vote April 18 authorized $1,000 to the Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation, $1,000 to Women Wonder Writers for the Sheroes conference with San Jacinto middle school and high school students, $1,000 to MS Fitness Challenge for the 2017 Murrieta/Temecula Fitness Challenge, and $500 to Friends of San Jacinto Mountain County Parks to help sponsor the
eighth annual Lemon Lily Festival. Each county supervisor has a discretionary Community Improvement Designation budget which can be allocated to nonprofit organizations, public agencies or county departments, or other community organizations with programs which serve the social needs of the county’s population. The recommendations must be ratified by a majority of the board of supervisors. The 3rd
District funds allocated April 18 were from the budget of Supervisor Chuck Washington. The Santa Rosa Plateau Nature Education Foundation will use the money to transport students to field study sites on the ecological reserve and along local watershed areas; approximately 3,000 students annually participate in that education program. Women Wonder Writers has a Sheroes conference which
focuses on breaking the cycle of abuse and victimization of children through creative intervention and mentorships. The MS Fitness Challenge offers training and education to individuals afflicted by multiple sclerosis. Friends of San Jacinto Mountain County Parks holds an annual Lemon Lily Festival to encourage appreciation of the Lillium parryl native lily.
Murrieta middle and high schools honored with Gold Ribbon School award MURRIETA – Warm Springs, Dorothy McElhinney and Shivela middle schools and Vista Murrieta High School have struck academic gold. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson announced Tuesday, April 18, that they are among the 275 winners of the Gold Ribbon Schools awards program. “These schools are leading the way in embracing our new rigorous academic standards and showing others how to help students suc-
ceed,” Torlakson said. Avaxat, Rail Ranch and E. Hale Curran elementary schools are 2016 Gold Ribbon Schools, and Thompson Middle School is a 2015 Gold Ribbon School. “I am so proud of each school honored,” District Superintendent Pat Kelley said. “The fact that all four of our middle schools are Gold Ribbon Schools is quite an accomplishment. These awards reflect the success of our middle school transformation efforts and the exemplary educational
opportunities these schools are providing for our students.” The schools were recognized for excellent teaching and learning and for their highly successful model programs that can be replicated by other districts. Warm Springs Middle School was mentioned for their Advancement Via Individual Determination program, which is a college readiness program targeting students who will be the first in their families to attend college.
Shivela Middle School was commended on their student leadership program. Over 200 Shivela students are in leadership roles in Associated Student Body, Renaissance, senate, video production, web and yearbook. Dorothy Middle School’s awardwinning dance program attracts transfer students from across the district. Lastly, Vista Murrieta High School offers a Dual Enrollment program with Mt. San Jacinto College that allows its students to earn high
school credits and up to 47 transferable college credits without paying college tuition. The Gold Ribbon awards will be presented at a ceremony in May. “I look forward to traveling the state to honor these schools and to help share the programs, methods and techniques that are working,” Torlakson said.

TEMECULA – The 2017 Southwest Regional Economic Forecast “Business without Boundaries” is scheduled for Thursday, June 8, from 7:30 to 10 a.m. at the South Coast Winery Resort & Spa. The event is presented by Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development Coalition and University of California Riverside School of Business Center for Economic Forecasting and Development. The conference will take a glance at regional business and retail trends as the Temecula Valley emerges into a more mature region. Event keynote speakers are Christopher Thornberg, director of the University of California Riverside Center for Economic Forecasting at the School of Business Administration, and Lisa Hill-McCay, senior vice president of public sector sales for Buxton. Thornberg is also adjunct professor at the university. He is also the
founding partner of Beacon Economics and is widely considered to be one of the nation’s leading economists. An expert in economic forecasting, regional economics, labor markets, economic policy and industry and real estate analysis, he was one of the earliest and most adamant predictors of the subprime mortgage market collapse and of the global economic recession that followed. In 2015, Thornberg was named to chair California State Treasurer John Chiang’s Council of Economic Advisors. He also serves on the advisory boards of Paulson & Co., one of Wall Street’s leading hedge funds, and of the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, Southern California’s largest not-for-profit business federation. Between 2008 and 2012, he served as a chief economic adviser to the California state controller’s office. Thornberg holds a doctorate in business economics from The
Anderson School at University of California Los Angeles and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the State University of New York at Buffalo. As senior vice president of Buxton’s public sector division, HillMcCay works with proactive cities to improve their retail economic development efforts. She works with communities to maximize their ability to generate sales tax revenue and enhance quality of life for their citizens by successfully recruiting new retailers as well as maximizing current retail options. She is focused on communities in Texas, Illinois and California. Hill-McCay received her bachelor’s degree from Texas Wesleyan University and is a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers. She has been a featured speaker at numerous events including the International City/County Management Association’s annual
conference, the Texas Municipal League’s workshops and conferences, as well as the California Economic Development Association’s annual event.

Pechanga Resort & Casino hires first ever general manager promoted from within
Pechanga Resort & Casino has named Lee Torres as its general Courtesy photo manager.
TEMECULA – The Pechanga Development Corporation’s board of directors has just named the firstever general manager promoted from within Pechanga Resort & Casino, California’s largest resort-
casino and No. 1 casino in the country voted by the readers of “USA Today.” Lee Torres, Pechanga’s former chief marketing officer, will now oversee the entire property and all 11 divisions as the new general manager. In addition to overseeing all departments and the property as a whole, Torres will continue to play a lead role, in conjunction with the Pechanga Development Corporation, in executing Pechanga’s $285 million expansion which is set to be completed by December 2017. Torres has been an integral part of Pechanga’s leadership team, most recently serving as its chief marketing officer and vice president of marketing for the past six years. He has been instrumental in the property’s growth and in obtaining the honor of being named the No. 1 casino in the United States.
“As a reflection of Pechanga Resort & Casino’s growth and commitment to internal development, the board is especially proud that Lee is the first general manager to be promoted from within the organization,” Edith Atwood, president of the Pechanga Development Corporation, said. “Lee has been an integral part of Pechanga’s strong growth and success over the last six years, and we look forward to his leadership and strategic vision for the future of the property.” Before Pechanga, Torres worked for some of the largest casino properties in the U.S., serving as the vice president of casino marketing and director of marketing. In those roles, he ran player development, VIP services and database and marketing analytics. He also oversaw the departments that ran advertising, public relations, business de-
velopment and sponsorships, group sales and bussing, database and analytics and event hotel revenue management. “I’m honored to be the first general manager selected from within of such a premier property, rivaling even the most prestigious of casino-resort properties in Las Vegas, by the Pechanga Development Corporation’s board of directors,” Torres said. “They’re trusting me with not only the responsibility of overseeing all 11 divisions and essentially all 4,000 team members on property, but also with leading the charge on Pechanga’s $285 million expansion. This is a very exciting time for Pechanga, and I’m deeply humbled to be a part of the journey.” The current $285 million resort expansion is set to open at the end of the year and includes the
addition of 568 rooms and suites, 70,000 additional square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, two new restaurants, a luxury twostory spa and salon and a four-acre resort pool complex with eight new pools. Pechanga just celebrated the grand opening of the brand-new 2,400-space parking garage, featuring 44 electric vehicle charging stations and three Tesla superchargers, marking the completion of the first phase of the expansion. Enough solar panels to power 100 homes along with a moving sidewalk to the casino entrance will be added to the new east parking garage this summer. Torres has worked in the gaming industry ever since earning his bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Nevada Las Vegas in 1998.
Do you know how to save on online brokerage fees? Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
If you’ve made it to a point in life where you’re ready to start investing, or at least start thinking about investing, you may consider opening a brokerage account. But you’re not alone if the thought of choosing a brokerage firm is foreign to you. While brokers have helped individual investors buy and sell investments for decades, the relationship and services have changed over time. For instance, rather than calling their brokers, today many investors use a sleek online platform or mobile app to place orders. Fees associated with maintaining a brokerage account and investing have also changed. Whether you’ve been investing for years, or are just diving in, it’s wise to occasionally compare brokerage firms’ offerings and costs, including those listed
below and find the option that’s right for you. Trading-platform fees might not be necessary. A trading platform is downloadable software or an online app that you can use to make trades, view real-time quotes and news, perform analysis and set up your trading strategies. While platform fees can cost hundreds of dollars a month, many high-quality options are completely free. Others are free as long as you meet minimum account balance requirements. Trading fees are common, but prices vary. Brokerage trading fees can vary widely depending on the financial product and broker. Many online brokers charge a flat fee, typically somewhere between $5 to $10 per online trade for stocks or exchange-traded funds. Some brokers alternatively charge a fee per share, which could be a better option for day traders.

Making a trade over the phone or with the help of a broker rather than on your own online could incur an additional fee which usually costs between $20 and $50. Mutual fund transaction fees may be higher than the cost of trading stocks, although some brokers have a list of no-transaction-fee funds. More advanced trading tactics, such as options, also may have additional fees. Higher trading fees don’t necessarily indicate better service, but the fees could help the brokerage firm invest in its trading platform, customer service and research tools. Therefore, you’ll want to compare each firm as a whole, not just the trading fees. Avoid annual fees. Some brokers charge an annual fee, often around $50 to $75. You might be able to avoid the fee by maintaining a minimum balance in your account,
or there are a number of brokerages that don’t charge this fee regardless of your account balance. Don’t overthink account closure or transfer fees. It’s common for a brokerage to charge $50 to $75 to close your account or transfer your holdings to a different brokerage. However, many brokerages will reimburse you when you open a new account with them. Optional services are just that – optional. There are a few services, such as paper statements or premium research tools that often cost money but are easy to opt in or out of based on your preferences. How much could you save by choosing a low-fee brokerage? Unless you’re an advanced investor, there are likely a variety of brokerages that can fulfill your needs. Review the fees you’re paying at your current brokerage, or at a brokerage you’re considering, and the competi-
tion’s offering. Paying $5 versus $10 per trade might not be significant for every investor. However, that’s the difference between receiving $95 or $90 worth of stock when you invest $100. Everything being equal, spending the extra $5 means you take an immediate 5-percent loss, plus you miss out on potential gains. The bottom line is choosing a brokerage with low fees helps ensure that your money goes toward your investments rather than overhead expenses. Low-fee brokerages aren’t necessarily worse either.

Brain health is more than a state of mind, part 1 Dr. Terry Rondberg SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Those who are closer to a state of illness on the illness-wellness continuum usually feel disconnected from others as well as themselves; their awareness becomes narrowed and distracted, and they become selfabsorbed. This self-centered focus is accompanied by a narrowing of adaptive responses to life’s challenges and stresses. This response is stress physiology in action, and most of us could think back to a time – perhaps recently – when we faced a major crisis in life in which everything happening around us became a blur as our focus narrowed. On the other hand, someone who is experiencing wellness may see symptoms as a sign of a body functioning the way it should and may view a health crisis as an opportunity for growth and change. In contrast, one who is in the mode of illness may see symptoms as a major regression, a burden with which they do not have time to handle. The outdated, but still widely practiced, model of reality or paradigm when it comes to health is called the “medical model.” It holds that we are healthy if we have no
Editor ’s note: This is part one of a three-part series focusing on brain health. Dr. Terry Rondberg In this week’s installation, Dr. Terry Rondberg discusses the definition of brain health. People who are closer to a state of wellness will engage in voluntary actions that will help them reach higher states of function and quality of life, regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms. They do things like exercising, eating healthy, practicing meditation or yoga, having involvement with community and receiving wellness care such as that provided by brain health practitioners; as opposed to people seeking disease and symptom care, as those closer to a state of illness do, usually taking action when a “problem” becomes obvious.
symptoms and unhealthy if we do. Let me make this clear: it is not only modern medicine that subscribes to the medical model. Even so-called natural health care systems often practice this way. A person presents to their office, and if they have a cold or an ache or pain, they are given herbal medicine or an acupuncture treatment or an adjustment. When the person’s symptoms go away, treatment ends. The problem with this model should be obvious: most of us, at one time in our lives, have gotten food poisoning. We ate something that was spoiled, and we quickly and rather unpleasantly, got it out of our systems. I would argue, however that we were not sick. Instead, our body was expressing its health – its ability to get rid of a poison, and quite effectively at that. On the other hand is the case of “poor Andy,” who was supposedly never sick a day in his life, yet he dropped dead suddenly of a heart attack at age 57. I’d wager that Andy had symptoms but did not consider them to be the call-to-action that they often are. Perhaps his symp-
toms went something like this: “I hate my ex-wife.” Or “I can’t believe I’m still stuck in this job.” Or “My life is passing me by, and I have done nothing with it.” Or perhaps his symptoms were actually physical. Maybe Andy felt more fatigued than he should or had chronic foot pain or perhaps he had intermittent shortness of breath or minor chest pains. Like most men – and, increasingly, most women – Andy was frustrated because he wanted immediate relief, and when he didn’t receive it, he gave up too soon. This response is an actual medical condition, called alexithymia, in which a person loses the ability to perceive the internal cues with which their body is constantly providing them. Andy probably thought once he could no longer feel his symptoms that he was safe from harm. But that fateful day came, which in his case was actually that fatal day, and he will never be able to listen to his body again. Health, as defined by the 2012 Physician’s Desk Reference is “a state characterized by anatomical, physiological and psychological integrity; ability to perform personally
valued family, work and community roles; ability to deal with physical, biological, psychological and social stress; a feeling of well-being and freedom from the risk of disease and untimely death.” The World Health Organization defines health as a “state of complete physical, mental and emotional well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Arizona State University also has a concise, yet comprehensive, definition of wellness: “Wellness is an active, lifelong, process of becoming more aware of choices and making decisions toward a more balanced and fulfilling life. Wellness involves choices about our life and our priorities that determine our lifestyles. The wellness concept is centered on connections and the idea that the mind, body, spirit and community are all interrelated and interdependent.” These are beautiful words, and I agree with them wholeheartedly. Sadly, the medical establishment is still in the grip of the very powerful pharmaceutical industry and has no interest in putting these concepts into practice.

Body of deceased woman found near San Jacinto roadway Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Few details have been released; however, sheriff’s officials have confirmed they are investigating after the body of a female was found along the side of a San Jacinto roadway early Saturday, April 29. The body, which officials have only described as “female,” was
found on the 2600 block of Esplanade Avenue and reported to sheriff’s officials just before 6 a.m., Riverside Sheriff’s Robert Himmelberg explained in a written press release after the conclusion of the initial investigation. Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s San Jacinto Police Station responded to the area after a citizen called 911 to report
a “female body found near the roadway,” said Himmelberg. When officials arrived at the location, they determined the victim had already succumbed to her injuries. “The female was pronounced dead at the scene,” Himmelberg explained. Officials did not specify the age of the victim or where she resided, pending identification and notifica-
tion of the victim’s family. During their investigation, deputies “determined the female was the victim of a motor vehicle related incident,” according to Himmelberg. Esplanade Avenue was closed for several hours between N. Cawston and N. Sanderson Avenues, while evidence technicians from the department’s Forensic Services Bureau and other officials investigated
the fatal incident. The investigation is ongoing. Officials have requested that anyone with information regarding this incident to call Deputy Cortez at (951) 654-2702. Callers can refer to incident file number I171190013 and can remain anonymous. Citizens may also submit a tip using the Sheriff’s CrimeTips online form.
K-9 handler injured in collision while responding to officer’s emergency call for assistance Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Details are still emerging after the City of Hemet Police Department’s newest K-9 handler was involved in a minor injury traffic collision Friday evening, April 28. The officer was injured while responding to another officer’s emergency call for assistance. The officer who called for prior-
ity assistance was struggling to apprehend a combative subject during an arrest. The two vehicles smashed into each other while the officer was crossing a four-way-stop located at the intersection of W. Acacia and S. Palm avenues in Hemet. The officer’s lights and siren were activated when the two cars collided in the middle of the intersection police reports said.
Emergency first responders evaluated and treated both victims at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle, described only as an elderly male, had complaints of pain and reportedly declined further medical treatment at the scene. Witnesses at the scene said it appeared the officer suffered an injury to his arm and a minor head wound. After the injured K-9 handler
was evaluated at the scene, a supervisor reportedly drove him to a nearby hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Both vehicles sustained heavy damage in the collision, which caused both cars to jump a curb before the patrol car struck a large palm tree head-on. It was not immediately known if the K-9 handler had his partner “Mac” with him at the time of the
collision. No updates or information had been provided regarding the accident or the nature and extent of the K-9 handler’s injuries. Officials remained at the scene of the accident for several hours, while they investigated the collision. The crash investigation is being conducted by California Highway Patrol officials.
Trio suspected of stealing checks, cards to commit identity theft TEMECULA – A felon and another man suspected of stealing credit cards, checks and other items to commit identity theft in Temecula were behind bars as of press time. Christopher Keith Sebelius, 31, of Riverside and Albert Peter Avitea, 26, of Moreno Valley were arrested Thursday, April 27, along with 25-year-old Biancha Sybilla Martinez of Riverside following an investigation by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Sebelius was booked into the
Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of receiving stolen property, being in possession of burglary tools and identity theft. He is being held on $250,000 bail. Avitea was booked into the Smith Correctional Facility in Banning on suspicion of receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear in an unrelated case. He’s being held in lieu of $25,000 bail. Martinez was booked on suspicion of receiving stolen property and
being in possession of a controlled substance. She posted a $3,500 bond and was released a few hours later. According to sheriff’s Sgt. Chris Gaskins, a deputy patrolling the area of Jefferson Avenue and Via Montezuma about 2 p.m. Thursday spotted the trio in a Ford Explorer parked outside a motel and approached the SUV based on concerns of illicit activity. After learning Sebelius was on probation, the trio were detained and
a check of the vehicle uncovered numerous “credit cards, California driver’s licenses, ID cards, blank business checks, issued cashier’s check, a U.S. passport and other miscellaneous mail and paperwork not addressed to any of the subjects,” Gaskins said. He said that several laptop computers, tablet devices, mobile phones and other electronics were also seized from the SUV. According to court records, Sebelius has prior convictions for
driving under the influence, receiving stolen property and use of illegal drugs while incarcerated. Avitea has misdemeanor cases pending for alleged driving on a suspended license and being in possession of a controlled substance, records showed. Martinez has prior misdemeanor convictions for theft of public services, possession of controlled substances and being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Woman caught transporting meth, marijuana sentenced MURRIETA – A Temecula woman caught with her boyfriend transporting methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana was sentenced Friday, April 28, to a year in jail and three years’ probation. Carmen Stacie Huxford, 21, pleaded guilty in January to importation of drugs for sale. In exchange
for her admission, the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office dropped a charge of possession of drugs for sale and a sentenceenhancing allegation of committing a felony for the benefit of a criminal street gang. Superior Court Judge Kelly Hansen certified the terms of the plea
deal and imposed the sentence stipulated by the prosecution and defense. Huxford’s co-defendant, 27-yearold Angel Landin Pena, pleaded guilty to the same charge in February and was sentenced to state prison. The parolee was driving with Huxford along Los Alamos Road, near Monroe Avenue, on the night
of Feb. 8, 2016, when a Murrieta police officer stopped him based on suspicious activity. Murrieta police spokesman Lt. Tony Conrad said that after the patrolman confirmed Pena was on parole and an active gang member, additional officers were summoned and a search was conducted inside
the car, whereupon “a large amount of street narcotics – methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana – was located.” The defendants were taken into custody without incident. Conrad did not say whether the pair intended to sell the drugs in Murrieta, or were headed elsewhere.

Revival of Temecula Bluegrass Music Festival brings help to Valley school music programs
The well-known Christian gospel group, the “Bluegrass Brethren Gospel Band,” played a series of traditional Christian hymns and bluegrass gospel songs at the Temecula Bluegrass Festival at Tucalota Creek Ranch on Benton Road in Temecula.

on the Main Stage including the California time-appropriate opening group, “Drought Tolerant Bluegrass Band.” They were followed by some of the newer bands “Slingo Rags,” “The Bluegrass Ghosts,” “TBA” and “Wild Oats.” Longtime bluegrass band “Damascus Road” with their gospel and rich mountain sounds closing the night. Some of the Main Stage bands switched over the Single Mic Stage on the hay bale strewn lawn near the Frog Pond to play again with other performers including “Wilfax,” “Dulaney and Co,” “John Rankin” and rising music star Will Champlin who brought his own brand of original rock music. Saturday opened with the country and bluegrass sounds of the highly recognized “Desperado” group followed by “Chris and Serna & Bluegrass Republic” who made two appearances, “Grasslands,” “Gone Tomorrow,” “Prairie Sky,” “Damascus Road” also in their second appearance, “MohaviSoul,” “Salty Suites” and the closing act, nationally acclaimed headliners “Jeff Scroggins and Colorado” taking the main stage.

The return of the annual Temecula Valley Bluegrass Festival this past weekend brought some of the top bluegrass bands in the nation to the rustic Tucalota Creek Ranch all to benefit local school music programs and music student scholarships. “This was just what we expected,” Tim Moyer of Moyer Entertainment Group, said. “We saw nearly 1,000 visitors come and enjoy the intimate festival that was enjoyable in a very easy way at the ranch. And this time it was all for nonprofit causes.” Moyer Entertainment Group organized the comeback of the Temecula Bluegrass Festival which was dropped by the city of Temecula last year. The event made the sounds of bluegrass music, country gospel and traditional country music ring even truer to the tradition of early America to some visitors who camped right next to corrals housing some of the top world western cutting, dressage and running horses being trained by internationally known trainers. Tucalota Creek Ranch owners
Kay and Alan Needle and son Josh were pleased with the special event at their 22-acre, professional horse training ranch and their byinvitation only TCR Cellars winery at 39560 Benton Road outside of Temecula. “We don’t have many events here,” Kay Needle said, sitting in the VIP section of the large arena where the bands played. “This is special.” Alan Needle said. They hope to work with Moyer on other special events at the ranch. The whinnies of horses and the hoot of owls added to the nighttime jamming of many of the performers, the other bluegrass musicians from the Southwest Bluegrass Association and other bluegrass associations coming to the event Friday and Saturday. While the jamming continued, children, walking handin-hand with their parents, oohed and aahed at the groomed horses with their new foals in the wellmaintained stables. It was some of the old Wild West and Appalachia coming alive again. Friday afternoon, April 28, the gates of Temecula Creek Ranch swung open to welcome festivalgoers to full lineup of bluegrass and country western musicians

intimate Single Mic Stage including “Keenwild,” “Isaiah Olsen,” “Joe Gillaspie,” Lady Rogo” and “Chi McClean.” The Single Mic Stage saw Champlin again present some of his original songs like “Borrowing Trouble,” and others he co-wrote with or sang with Santana, Billy Ray Cyrus, Glen Frey of the Eagles and especially with his songwriting work on Heather Handley’s 2010 “Audience of One.” He also played his piano rendition of Michael Jackson’s last record. Champlain is well-known for reaching the Top 3 of Season 5 of “The Voice.” The festival toned down a bit Sunday with some rich gospel music from the “Sweet Tidings Gospel” band and the “Bluegrass Brethren Gospel Band,” who will be celebrating their 40th Reunion Concert July 9, at the Arbor Road Church in Lakewood. Moyer said all the profits from this year’s Temecula Bluegrass Festival will be used to help provide much-needed funds to school music education programs and the Moyer Entertainment Group MRG Scholarship Fund that offers help to less fortunate students that show exceptional scholastic dedication and artistic ability. Many of the
local middle and high schools have been forced to cut back their music education programs to meet the rising education budget costs and continuing cutbacks in state and federal educational entitlements. He noted the approximately $10,000 needed to produce the festival has been paid and “all” the remaining funds from admissions will go the MRG Scholarships and school music programs. They held a charity raffle that gave away a donated Deering Goodtime Banjo, a Taylor A10e Guitar and a Fishman Music Box; the prizes went to three lucky $2 ticket winners. Other sponsors to the special event were Temecula Valley RV, The Valley News, Valley Business Journal, Echo and Buzz, Southwest Bluegrass Association, San Diego Bluegrass Society, IBMA, San Diego Bluegrass and Folk Club, 8bit Brewing, Comfort Inns, Rancon Real Estate, DM Deadline, EAR Trumpet Lab, D’Addario Guitar Strings, BASC, MEG and HeyDay Music. The “Chords and Vines” music program from Internet Radio was also at the Bluegrass Festival, highlighting the Needles TCR Cellars winery.

Governor’s reckless spending leads to gas tax and residents get left holding the bag Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
I was going to take a week off from writing my opinion piece; I do that sometimes. Then, as I was preparing to leave for a training in San Diego, I got a news alert that Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 1, the transportation bill, into law. I knew that my plan to give Valley News readers a break from my opinion was out the window. More taxes. Are you kidding me? Brown and the legislature have come under fire by many thanks to the plan which increases the gas tax by 12 cents on the gallon with a 17cent variable excise tax, an excise tax on diesel fuel of 20 cents per gallon and a four-percentage point sales tax on diesel. Under the new legislation, electric cars will pay a $100 annual fee, and all residents will pay a new annual vehicle fee ranging from $25 for cars valued at under $5,000 to $175 for cars worth $60,000 or more. According to the propaganda issued by the Governor’s Office, the new taxes will cost most Cali-
fornians under $10 a month. I call baloney. According to a story that ran in the San Diego Union Tribune by Rob Nikolewski, entitled “How much you’ll REALLY pay in gasoline tax in California (Hint: It’s probably more than you think),” that 12 cents a gallon in gasoline taxes is only the beginning. The total amount in excise taxes will reach 41.7 cents per gallon Nov. 1 and a “few other tweaks will follow before the rate will be fixed at 47.3 cents a gallon in July 2019.” That article is reporting and along with other taxes and fees, we are paying 58.3 cents on the gallon. Don’t forget to add in the federal tax on gas at 18.4 cents a gallon and suddenly we are looking at 76.7 cents per gallon. Kim is not a happy camper, and neither are our local legislatures. From Sen. Jeff Stone, R-Temecula, when he issued a press release where he urged Brown to veto the bill, “Who does this tax hike hurt? Not the coastal elite of San Francisco and Los Angeles who have shorter commutes and much more
access to public transportation. It hurts the poor. It hurts the middle class. It hurts small-business owners.” From Sen. Mike Morrell, RRancho Cucamonga, “Californians know they already pay enough for core government services and programs, including our roads and highways. What they rightfully expect is that the state will better prioritize its spending and get its finances in order. Instead, under one-party rule by Democrats in Sacramento, taxpayers are fleeced again, finding themselves having to pay more for government that delivers less.” From Assemblywoman Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, “California’s worn-out, insufficient roads and freeways are the direct result of poor leadership in Sacramento, failure to plan ahead and unkept promises to our working people, where billions of transportation dollars have been diverted to pay for other things and not to fix our roads. California used to have freeways second to none. Asking working families to pay higher gas
fees and car registrations with nothing to show for it is wrong. Shipping surcharges to cover fuel and the cost of goods will rise, hurting working people, costing jobs, incomes and business growth.” My personal favorite comes from Senate Republican Leader Patricia Bates, R-Laguna Niguel, who called the signing of SB 1, “A lemon of a gas and car tax hike.” I agree to all of the above. After getting an article up on www.myvalleyenews.com, www. anzavalleyoutlook.com and www. villagenews.com, I took to Twitter to see what people were saying. I found this little gem from LA Times’ Sacramento Bureau Chief, John Myers who noted Brown chose to forego fanfare and a photo opportunity while signing the bill. “Unlike other accomplishments, like recent climate change efforts, @JerryBrownGov chose to skip any bill signing photo op on transpo plan,” Myers tweeted. I am of the opinion Brown chose to forego fanfare and a photo opportunity while signing the bill because he knew signing it would
get negative reactions from, well, people like me. Again, I must point out, I am not alone in opposition to this tax. ABC7 did a poll on the gas tax and where Californians stood on it. Plenty opposed it, 44 percent to be exact, 20 percent were unsure. Fifty-nine percent of respondents opposed the proposed “transportation improvement fee,” and shocker, 61 percent said “the agency should make better use of the revenue it has now.” Those numbers beg the question, are lawmakers listening to constituents? Well, down here, in southwest Riverside County, I believe they are, but everywhere else in the state, probably not. The one thing I feel certain about is that Brown’s passion for his multibillion-dollar bullet train outranks any need, want or desire of the people. Instead of listening to the voices of those who elected him to office, he continues to recklessly spend money that could be put to better use on our roads, our schools and a million other things. But hey, it’s only my opinion.
Awareness of genetic testing saves lives Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Getting a diagnosis of cancer can be scary and uncertain. As a member of the Assembly Health Committee, I am seeking ways to improve access to new and innovative treatments, cures and therapies to prevent diseases and save lives. This session I introduced Assembly Bill 1386, establishing a
women’s health pilot program to raise awareness of genetic testing for the BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes in newly diagnosed patients; many of whom are not given the information. Breast and ovarian cancer are among the leading causes of cancer deaths for women in the United States. If a genetic test is appropriate, the results can clarify the type of treatment needed so that the patient has a better chance of a
successful outcome. BRCA genes, which pass from parent to child, help a cell’s genetic material to function properly. However, mutations in BRCA genes can occur, which severely increases a woman’s risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Women at high risk for having a BRCA mutation or who are newly diagnosed often don’t get genetic testing or the chance to speak with a genetic
counselor to help them weigh the necessity of a test. Women in underserved communities are even less likely to get genetic counseling and testing. According to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 80.9 percent of high-risk patients wanted testing, but only 39.6 percent received counseling and only 50.9 percent of these have actually had a genetic test.
AB 1386 will promote genetic testing through public awareness aimed at newly diagnosed women in underserved communities, including those on Medi-Cal or who have limited access to health insurance. Through early detection, taxpayer costs will be significantly reduced, and most importantly, lives will be saved.
What would Jesus say about California becoming a ‘sanctuary state?’ The Rev. Bill Freeman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
As a transplanted Michigander, I hesitate to tell an old joke about California, but here goes. How many Californians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Five. One to screw in the lightbulb and four to sit in the hot tub and discuss the environmental impact. What’s happening in California right now is no joke. Elected leaders in Sacramento are talking about passing legislation declaring California to be a “sanctuary state.” As I understand it, that legislation would prohibit law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration authorities seeking to deport
immigrants who are here illegally. People have differing opinions about immigration. Not just among Democrats and Republicans, but among Republicans and Republicans. “We need to finally secure our borders, enforce our laws and stop the problem of illegal immigration,” former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said. On the other hand, or perhaps you could say on the same hand, former Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio said, “We should be the pro-legal immigration party. A party that has a positive platform and agenda on how we can create a legal immigration system that works for immigrants
and works for America.” As a Christian minister, I’m less interested in what politicians say about immigration and more interested in what Jesus says about immigration. Many Christians wear a bracelet with the initials, WWJD, which stands for: “What Would Jesus Do?” So, what would Jesus do, or say in this case, about immigration? In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus tells us to “welcome the stranger.” That’s understandable, since Jesus himself was a stranger, actually an immigrant and a refugee in Egypt. Maybe you remember the story in the Bible about how his parents, Mary and Joseph, fled from Bethlehem to Egypt with baby Jesus when
King Herod wanted the Christ child killed. The sanctuary that Egypt provided the family saved Jesus from King Herod’s murderous intent. Thank God. If Jesus hadn’t become an immigrant and a refugee for a time and had been murdered by King Herod’s henchmen, he never would have uttered the words that we so desperately need to hear these days, “Love your neighbor.” When the state of California gives sanctuary to our neighbors, it demonstrates to the rest of the country and to the world that the Golden State is living up to the words on a plaque at the Statue of Liberty. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to
breathe free,” it stated. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to the United States nearly 150 years ago. If America can’t live up to those words anymore, perhaps we should return the gift to the French people. Instead, America should follow what could become the eventual example of California and some other states and cities and “welcome the stranger” from all over the world who is “yearning to breathe free,” by becoming a place of “sanctuary,” as Jesus would want us to do. Bill Freeman is the senior minister at Menifee United Church of Christ, which meets 11 a.m. Sundays at 26701 McCall Blvd., in Menifee.

can often feel like rowing your boat against a typhoon wind and only having one oar. It seems impossible. The Bible tells us that on one particular day the disciples of Jesus were rowing their boat in a storm all night long. It wasn’t until about 3 a.m. that Jesus showed up walking on the water. In seeing Jesus coming towards them, one of the disciples thought

I’ll Sweat So You Don’t Have To...
it would be a good idea to get out of the boat and walk to Jesus. But that didn’t work so well. He began to sink. Matthew 14:30 tells us that “When (Peter) saw the strong wind and waves, he was terrified and began to sink. ‘Save me, Lord!’ he shouted.” The moment we take our eyes off Jesus we put them on our problem. Once our problem becomes our focus, we start sinking. What storm is sinking you right now? Have you taken your eyes off Jesus? Are you questioning why God is allowing you to go through this storm? He’s allowing you to go through the storm for exactly the same reason he allowed the disciples to face it. So that you will put your eyes back on him and invite him into your boat. If you want to have some calm in your storm, you have to get

Jesus on the boat. It wasn’t until Jesus got in the boat that the storm stopped. Matthew 14:33 said, “When they (Jesus & Peter) climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.” Take a moment today and invite Jesus into your boat. He’s not only the one who walks on water in the

Rosie O’Connor SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
“What does Frida Kahlo mean to you?” is the question I get asked quite often. Maybe it is because I dedicated a whole blue wall to Frida Kahlo at my restaurant? Or maybe they want a little insight into who I am? Here is a bit of what she might mean to others. At the age of six, she contracted polio, making her leg fragile and she had it amputated in her later years when she contracted gangrene. When she was 18 years, she suffered a horrific accident. She was traveling home from school, when her trolley crashed and a pole went straight through her spinal column breaking it in three places, crushing her pelvis into pieces, keeping her from ever having a child and causing her chronic pain for the rest of her life. Frida Kahlo was determined to live a normal life regardless of her disabilities. For people with disabilities, she represents hope and persistence. She also expressed the inequality of women through her paintings and was openly bi-sexual. Her rebellious spirit challenged social and
political standards are still present today. I believe she just lived her life, acted and took measures the only the way she knew how. She was a trailblazer for the feminist movement and the LGBT community. I struggle with this question, “What does Frida Kahlo mean to you?” because she is so much more to me than just a simple answer. She is all these things and more. I have lived and loved passionately, though I’m not quite as adventurous as Frida, I feel compelled to live my life the best I can. My language of love is servitude and with that I cook to serve. When I’m the happiest, I cook. And when I want to show you that I love you, we feast. Diego loved her mole and was obsessed with it. On my visit to their Blue House in Coyocan, they had the family recipe on the wall in their kitchen. I’m sharing it with you today. Make yourself a little feast and love someone unconditionally today. Mole Poblano (10 Servings) Ingredients 250 g (1/2 pound) mulato chilies, remove veins and seeds 350 g (3/4 pound) pasilla chilies, remove veins and seeds 350 g (3/4 pound) ancho chilies, remove veins and seeds 250 g (1/2 pound) lard 3 medium-sized cloves of garlic, peeled 2 medium-sized onions, diced 2 hard tortillas broken into pieces ½ dried bolillo, similar to a French bread roll 60 g (2 ounces) raisins 125 g (1/4 pounds) almonds 6 tablespoons pepitas de calabaza or pumpkin seeds 125 g (1/4 pound) sesame seeds 1 teaspoon of anise 2 cloves

ies. Transfer them to a ceramic pot with boiling water to soften them. In the same lard, saute the garlic and onion until golden brown. Add the tortillas, bread, raisins, almonds, pumpkin seeds and half the sesame seeds, the anise, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, chocolate and tomatoes and saute them well. Add the drained chilies and saute a few more seconds. Put the entire mixture in a blender with the turkey broth and strain it.
In a large ceramic pot, heat the rest of the lard. Add the sauce and allow the mole sauce to boil for 5 minutes, season with salt and sugar. It should be a little sweet. Add more broth if necessary; it should be a thick sauce. Let it boil for 20 to 25 minutes over a low flame. Add the cooked turkey pieces, and let it boil for five minutes more. Serve it in the same pot with the rest of the sesame seeds toasted and sprinkled on top.

Barrel racers could win a 2017 Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival campsite
A team of barrel racers competes at the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival. Barrel races will be held May 7 at South Coast Winery and Resort. Courtesy photo
TEMECULA – Get your barrels rolling, and you could find yourself with a full hook-up campsite at the 2017 Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival. Barrel races return 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Sunday, May 7, at South Coast Winery & Resort. Wine barrel race cars are peoplepowered vehicles that one person drives while the other person pushes or pulls. Race cars can come in all shapes and sizes. Motorcycles, chariots, airplanes and ambulances all have raced previously. The key
rule is to maintain the integrity of the barrel while putting wheels on it. Barrel race cars can be made of any barrel, wine or otherwise. They can be half barrels, but they need to retain the round shape of the barrel. Prizes will be awarded for both the look of the car for those who like to show off and the speed for serious racers. Barrel rollers can compete individually, in appropriate age groups, rolling barrels two at a time to a finish line. This competition uses
standard barrels without wheels and rolled on their side. The fastest barrel racing team will receive a full hook-up campsite with two weekend passes. The flashiest or biggest showoff race car will receive a dry camping site with no hookups and two weekend passes. Show Offs often win for their exuberance and crowd appeal. Other prizes include reserved concert tickets, private winemakers reserved wine tasting passes and daily tickets. Applications for the barrel races are available at the festival office, 41755 Rider Way, Unit 1, in Temecula and online at www.tvbwf. com/news-&-media. There is a fee of $25 per barrel racing tea, or $10 per individual barrel roller. Fees will be returned to top three competitors in each category. The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival returns to Lake Skinner Recreation area, in the heart of Temecula Valley Wine Country June 2-4. Located just north of San Diego County, the festival has a successful history of celebrating Southern California Wine Country’s finest assets of clear skies dotted by hot air balloons, mild temperatures and rolling vineyards. For festival information, visit www.tvbwf.com or call (951) 676-6713.

The city of Temecula sponsors Temecula Fashion Week TEMECULA – The Temecula Fashion Week, in partnership with Inland Valley Business and Community Foundation, kicks off Friday, May 19, with three events over three days. “The city of Temecula is sponsoring Temecula Fashion Week for the second time, in partnership with IVBCF. We are excited to promote and grow the fashion industry and local designers in the Temecula Valley,” Christine Damko, the economic development analyst for the city of Temecula, said. Temecula Fashion Week begins Friday, May 19, at the Temecula City Hall in Old Town. Fashion Promenade, a community fashion show, will feature a community fundraiser “Modeling for a Cause” presented by a nonprofit “Before the Transition.” Founder Dorothy Lee’s awareness fashion show will assist students by providing scholarships to graduating seniors interested in or intending to study at a college, university or other post-secondary educational institution and by supporting the nonprofit in its mission to donating professional clothing to veterans seeking a job. Guests to the event are invited to bring new or clean
and pressed, gently used clothing on a hanger or shoes. The event will host a recognition walk from first responders such as paramedics, firefighters, nurses, doctors and other related professionals, followed by Tyrone Franklin, a local fashion stylist, who will bring male models to showcase his men’s clothing. Local fashion retail business owner, Rosalind Barmore of Designs on a Vine, and two professional fashion designers, Diana Orr and Timmithea Leeds, will also present their work. Adelle Lim and the Polynesian Dance Group will perform. Finally, the 10 selected judges will be looking at the attendees and selecting 5 finalists for the Best Dressed awards held at the close of fashion week. Each judge will select two attendees, and out of the 20 guests selected, five will be chosen to compete to win the Best Dressed award. Additionally, attendees will be given the opportunity to select their Best Dressed pick with a donation made to win the “People’s Choice” award. The second day of Temecula Fashion Week will highlight “Cars and Couture,” as four professional designers, Vanessa Alfaro, Mi-
chael Bui, Bond Leaders, Lisseth Corrao and hat designer Annette Higgins showcase their work. Miriam Kim and Triple Threat will perform. The Best Dressed competition will continue. The last day of Temecula Fashion Week will be Sunday, May 21, in the City Hall conference room for a wine and awards mixer. Diana Rein and Valerie Geason will perform. The “Best Dressed” finalists will do their showcase and judges will make their final decision for the winner of this award. “The city of Temecula invites the public, the community, upand-coming fashion designers and existing fashion designers from other areas to come and experience all that Temecula has to offer and experience Temecula Fashion Week,” Damko said in the Temecula Fashion Week invitation. The city of Temecula sponsored Temecula Fashion Week with help from Kimberly Adams of Visit Temecula Valley, Kym Espinosa of Promenade Temecula and Marie Waite, founder of the Inland Valley Business and Community Foundation.

San Jacinto Main Street Cinco de Mayo celebration coming May 6 Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
San Jacinto will be temporarily closing historic Main Street for most of the evening May 6, to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, promoting the achievements and experiences of people with a Mexican background who live in the United States. The Main Street businesses and vendors will be open during the celebration from 4 - 8 p.m. Many of the businesses along Main Street will offer goods, services and delicious foods from Mexico and America. The street will echo with the sounds of mariachi bands and Native American bird songs while dancers swing in circles, clap their hands and enjoy the Baile Folklorico Musica of Mexico. Many of the colorful Escaramuzas dresses from Jalisco and other Mexican cities will be seen, along with men’s attire from sombreros to serapes all in the tradition of Mexico’s fiestas. The Cinco de Mayo celebration, not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day, commemorates
the defeat of the French Army during the Battle of Puebla in Mexico May 5, 1862, under the leadership of Mexican Army Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza. The battle paved the way for the creation of Tejas or today’s Texas. The San Jacinto Cinco de Mayo celebration is sponsored by San Jacinto Councilmember Crystal Ruiz, Mayor Pro Tem Alonzo Ledezma, Community Builders, city leaders and the San Jacinto downtown merchants. It promises to be a day of fun, music, good food, vendors, dancing and more. Visitors are urged to bring chairs to observe the outdoor entertainment events. The celebration is free and open to the public. “We have been very successful in the city the past couple of years and would like to add the Cinco de Mayo Celebration to Main Street to bring folks down to the business district,” Ruiz said. There still may be openings for vendors at the Cinco de Mayo celebration. For more information, contact Jannas Joos at (818) 2310932 or jannasdefense@gmail. com.

Menifee History Museum ‘Godspell’ to debut at Temecula Valley to celebrate first High School Golden Bear Theater anniversary TEMECULA – A classic of the their appearances closely mirror the committed to their audiences and Bill Zimmerman, Menifee Valley Historical Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
For the last year local residents of all ages have enjoyed going back in time to see what took place in Menifee’s past. Native American artifacts dating back thousands of years along with exhibits and displays that depict gold mining, farming and one-room schoolhouses built in the 1800s are set up in the museum, which was created using a classroom at the shuttered Menifee Elementary School. “It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since our grand opening,” Elinor Martin, president of the Menifee Valley Historical Association, said. Her volunteer group appreciates the Menifee Union School District for allowing use of the classroom for the museum. It has been a symbiotic relationship, since young students in the district can learn about local history. Docents also provide field trip tours for scout troops and youth attending the Boys & Girls Club next door. The museum has been enhanced since opening last year. Custom displays and educational reader rails were constructed using a grant from the Valley Health System. Historical items have recently been donated from private collections that help depict the area’s rural lifestyle before electricity and phone service arriving in the valley. Viewers can learn about homesteaders and early
pioneer families whose names are familiar since major streets and schools have been named in their honor. The organization will host a special event on Sunday, May 21, honoring the first anniversary of its museum with free tours, family activities, a barbecue and refreshments. “We welcome Menifee residents to attend and celebrate its history museum,” Martin said. “It should be an enjoyable afternoon.” Along with the museum, the historical association has been busy working with Menifee’s Community Services staff to install monuments at locations of historical significance. The group is also working with the city’s Public Works Department on a new Highway 395 recognition program, which includes installing sign posts and painted stencil emblems along Antelope and Encanto roads. At the museum, which is located on Garbani Road, just east of Murrieta Road, docents are busy giving tours Sunday afternoons. They have created a badge earning program for children who visit. A special embroidered patch is awarded to those who answer a few questions on the printed form designed for children. The public is encouraged to visit the Menifee History Museum, which is open Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.menifeehistory.com.
genre that inspired the 1970s film adaptation, “Godspell” uses the parables of the biblical Gospel of Matthew to explore the nature of belief: what happens when people are challenged to believe in something larger than themselves, and what can occur when those beliefs are challenged. “Though it is born of spiritual content, I firmly believe that our audiences will find that “Godspell” is most concerned not with what a person believes, but how they believe it: how deeply, and under what circumstances, be they good or bad, those beliefs are made most apparent,” Temecula Valley High School drama director Derek Heid said. The TVHS production of “Godspell” sports a talented cast of 11 young women and is placed in a contemporary setting. The show is imagined to take place at a rock’ n’ roll concert, moments before first curtain. Each of the actresses represents an era of rock music from classic to modern era - and
material that their characters convey throughout the show. The twist on the classic style of “Godspell” emphasizes the community born from an otherwise diverse group of people. What better way to do that than through the often-tumultuous history of rock’ n’ roll? “Godspell” plays May 4, 5, 6, 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. in the TVHS Golden Bear Theater. Tickets are $10 for general admission, $9 for students. Tickets can be purchased through the Golden Bear box office at 951) 695-7300 ext. 2147 or by emailing Heid at dheid1@tvusd. k12.ca.us. “TVHS Drama is committed to bringing relevant, message-oriented works of live theatre to the Temecula community,” Heid said. “Our students have been awarded highest honors by National Youth Arts, the Childress MACY Awards, the Drama Teachers’ Association of Southern California and the Southern California Educational Theatre Association. Our students are
self-improvement as performers, and appreciate your patronage as a fellow community organization.” The TVHS drama department won nine awards and 22 nominations at the 2015-16 NYA Awards; they were numerous award recipients in 2015-16 from the Childress Music and Arts Commendations for Youth Awards and were ranked by DTASC three years running as one of the top 10 performing schools in Southern California.

Fleetwood Max! and Del Rio Country head entertainment lineup at Vintage Car Show FALLBROOK – Fleetwood Max! – San Diego’s finest Fleetwood Mac tribute band – and Del Rio Country will serve as the entertainment headliners at the 2017 Fallbrook Vintage Car Show, which will be held Sunday, May 28, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Pala Mesa Resort. Performances will be held at 11 a.m., 12:45 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Between the bands’ performances, the Fallbrook High School Jazz Ensemble will play selections carefully selected to complement the car show experience. This 52nd annual car show will feature hundreds of stock and modified vintage cars. New this year is Restoration Road, where vendors who provide restoration services and parts will gather to demonstrate their capabilities and products. Restoration Road will be located on the ninth fairway along the east side of the main show field. The featured vehicle this year is the DeLorean. Six to 10 beautifully restored and maintained DeLoreans will be on display at the front of the main show field. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to beat the crowds that figure to be flock-
ing around these magnificent cars. Visitors can jump back in time by heading to the ninth fairway, where 25 Brass Era horseless carriages will be on display. The earliest will be an 1899 Peugeot three-wheeler. Also, don’t miss the 1902 “Curved Dash” Oldsmobile along with the Olds 1903 Model. Ford enthusiasts will appreciate viewing the Ford Model S or the Tin Lizzies, the endearing nickname for Model Ts. The 2017 show will feature more than 400 show cars, a swap meet with 80 to 90 vendors with everything from vintage car parts, jewelry, art, antiques, and collectables. There will also be a beer and wine garden, multiple food vendors and a large children’s play area that will include jump houses. The Pala Mesa Resort is located at 2001 Old Highway 395, Fallbrook. The show and parking are free to visitors. The Fallbrook Vintage Car Show is put on by the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club and proceeds from the event benefit local nonprofit organizations.

Shade-tolerant plants help to complete landscapes TEMECULA – Plants need sunlight to thrive and grow, but some need less sunlight than others. People who find their landscapes are less supportive to sun-loving plants can choose from a variety of shade-tolerant plants, shrubs and trees. Shade tolerance refers to a plant’s ability to withstand low levels of light. Certain plants have adapted this feature to survive in the wild. Plants that grow at the base of forest floors, for example, will get less sunlight than others outside of the tree canopy. Such adaptations enable a wide variety of foliage to grow even though they are not exposed to much sunlight. While sun-loving plants often have broad leaves and expend significant energy to capture sunlight for photosynthesis, shade-tolerant plants expend less energy and tend to be more efficient consumers of soil nutrients and sunlight. Penn State Extension’s Plant and Pests division says the amount of shade a plant is growing under will directly affect the density of the foliage and the plant’s flowering and fruiting characteristics. Blending shade-tolerant plants into the landscape can be an effective use of space. Before choosing plants
for an existing landscape, it’s important to assess the level of shade or sun the plants will receive. Heavy shade: Heavy shade is when no direct sunlight reaches a plant. This occurs at the base of northern-facing walls or beneath thick tree canopies. Full sun: Areas that receive full sun enjoy direct sunlight between six and eight hours per day. Moderate shade: These sites have reflected sunlight that may come off water features. Light shade: Plants in these areas will get partially filtered or dappled sunlight. Once homeowners understand which type of shade they are dealing with, they can then visit plant nurseries and select their plants. Most greenery comes with care instructions that include recommendations regarding the amount of shade/sunlight the plant will need to do well. If further assistance is needed, a knowledgeable employee can make suggestions based on landscape needs. Those who are looking for some preliminary guidance when it comes to selecting shade-tolerant shrubs, plants or trees can consult the following list.
Shade-tolerant plants, such as coleus, can add color and appeal to shady areas of a landscape.

Coleus
The coleus, Solenostemon scutellarioides, is another perennial that can have a variety of different leaf colors and striations.

Bleeding heart Bleeding heart, or Dicentra spectabilis, is typically found in woodlands. It’s a perennial in the poppy family that produces mounded foliage and arching vine-like stems of heart-shaped flowers in the spring.

Myrica pensylvanica can grow in partial shade as a hedge or natural property divider. The leaves of this shrub are aromatic when crushed. The shrub will produce tiny, gray/white fruits in late summer.
Witch hazels These are a genus in the family Hamamelidacea, which has four different species in North America. This shrub or small tree features arching branches with dense, multi-stemmed clumps. Witch hazel produces flowers in the late autumn when most other plants are sparse.
Amethyst flower Browallia hybrids offer star-shaped blooms of blue and violet. These plants will billow out of hanging baskets or containers, and they prefer warm shade or filtered sunlight.

English Ivy Also known as Hedera helix, this trailing plant is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant. It will spread easily and can become invasive.
Those searching for shade-tolerant trees can choose among Sugar maple, Black alder, Flowering dogwood and White spruce, among others. Shade-tolerant plants can make welcome additions to the landscape, offering greenery and color in the darker areas of a property.

Most refunds stem from valuation reductions by the county assessor and are related to corrections or cancellations to the tax roll after taxes already had been paid. Under California law, property tax refunds unclaimed for four years after the payment date or for one year after a requested claim form has been mailed back to a taxpayer by the county, whichever is later, may be transferred to the county general fund by order of the board of supervisors. After Aug. 1, any unclaimed money shifts to the general fund, and no longer can be claimed. Completed claim forms and supporting documentation should be emailed to PropTaxUnclaimed@ rivco.org or mailed to: Riverside County Treasurer-Tax Collector, attn: Property Tax Unclaimed Refunds, P.O. Box 12005 Riverside, CA 92502-2205.

We’re thrilled to be part of all of that.” Under the new partnership, the CaliforniaFirst financing program is now available to homeowners in 14 Western Riverside cities: Banning, Calimesa, Canyon Lake, Corona, Eastvale, Hemet, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Murrieta,

Norco, Perris, Temecula and Wildomar. WRCOG will continue to serve as program administrator for both HERO and CaliforniaFirst, providing general oversight and implementing the same exceptional standards for consumer protection and customer satisfaction regionwide. “Renew Financial’s entry into the Western Riverside territory means one thing: more competition,” Ben Benoit, executive committee chair of WRCOG, said. “And more competition means more choices for homeowners to fund their home efficiency upgrade projects and save money, while helping drive local economic activity. That’s why we’re excited about Renew Financial providing this additional financing option for our communities.” With the expansion of CaliforniaFirst into these 14 cities, the financing program now offers the opportunity for efficiency upgrades to more than 300,000 homes in Western Riverside and more than 6 million homes statewide. Already Renew Financial estimates that its financing products have created more than 15,000 jobs across 15 states, conserved 877,176,637 gallons of water – enough water for 48 million showers, realized over $1.5 billion in energy savings over the life of its projects, cut total greenhouse gas emissions by 2.3 million metric tons – equivalent to the yearly emissions of 485,000 cars and funded nearly 83,600 projects through the end of 2016.

Over the years, many studies have been conducted to define and rank which typical life experiences cause the greatest amount of stress for the average adult. For anyone who has had to make a move, it probably comes as no surprise that moving ranks within the top 10 of the most stressful events… and once you add children to the equation, the stress level only increases. I have compiled the following tips to help parents prepare their young children for a move and to also help them adjust to their new home and community once the move has taken place. Tell your children about the upcoming move as soon as possible. Waiting until the “For Sale” sign appears on your lawn or having your children find out about the move from neighbors will only leave them feeling left out and most likely, angry. Discuss some of the pros and cons of moving with your children, in an age-appropriate manner. Most children get great comfort from simply being heard and by being assured that their parents are committed to helping them adjust to a new environment. Encourage your children to help you investigate your new community. Most cities or towns have their own website, which they use to advertise and promote life in their community. In addition to finding information on the area lifestyle, you should also find a list of the local amenities, such as schools, places of worship, recreation centers, community sports associations and parks. Most community sites will also include locations of the nearest shopping malls, movie theatres and special attractions such as water parks, horse stables and public beaches. When packing, resist the urge to throw out all your children’s old, unused toys. Instead, ask your children to help you prepare for packing by separating their toys into three piles. Pile No. 1 comes with them to the new house. Pile No. 2 is for donating to a local shelter or community center, and pile No. 3 is only for those toys that they understand are beyond repair, and for safety sake, should be thrown away. Allowing your child to decide what to do with their worn toys provides them a feeling of control in a situation that is largely out of their control. Pack any young children’s belongings last; allowing them prolonged access to their familiar possessions reduces their anxiety. Ask your children to help you pack some of their belongings into boxes and be sure to explain that the boxes, and every item that goes into the box, is going to be unpacked at the new house. Assemble some
fun packing materials, a variety of brightly colored, washable markers for writing their name on each of their own boxes, Bubble Wrap for swaddling their dolls and soft toys and a selection of stickers to decorate and easily identify what is in each of their boxes. Take your children to visit the new home at least once before moving day, and be sure to keep the visit short and upbeat. Ask your child if they would like to have a moving party. Invite their friends over to enjoy a night of pizza and movies. Take pictures of each guest posing with your child using an instant or digital camera. Keep one copy for your child, and give one copy to each guest to take with them. Most children make new friends at school fairly easily, but if your moving date is scheduled after the end of the school year, your child could be facing a long, lonely summer break. To keep your child from feeling isolated, you will have to take steps to help them meet some new friends. Soon after moving into your new home, ask your neighbors if there are children of the same age in the neighborhood. Ask those neighbors who have young children if they are interested in allowing your children to play together at the local park during supervised play dates. Once the move has taken place, organize a “family exploring day.” Let your children help you plan an afternoon walk or scenic drive through a specific part of your new town. By doing this, you will not only be helping your children to familiarize themselves with their new community, but your family will also be creating fun, new memories associated with your new home. Involve your children in deciding how to decorate their new bedrooms. Even the youngest child should have some of their ideas incorporated into the new design. Whether it’s a big decision like choosing the wall color or a small decision like selecting just the right spot for their toy box, giving your child a” say” helps them to embrace their new space. Above all, keep the communication lines open - before, during and after the move. Depending on the child, it can take anywhere from a few days to many months to adjust to their new surroundings. Call us today, (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need enabling you to make an informed, educated decision.
