Water Summit examines Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake Tony Ault WRITER

Although Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake’s water quality has improved in recent years with less fish kills and algae outbreaks the continuing drought poses a threat to their continued improvements, according to officials at the LESJWA Water Summit April 27 in Lake Elsinore.

Few discouraging words were heard at Temecula’s annual assessment of its economy, employment, quality of life and future prospects.

“We love good news in Temecula and we have a lot of it,” Mayor Mike Naggar proclaimed during

his State of the City presentation April 28 at the Pechanga Resort & Casino. The upbeat talk attracted a capacity crowd of business, government and nonprofit leaders.

The California Legislature, and its tendency to siphon funds from cities and counties when revenues are tight, was cited as the chief challenge blocking Temecula’s

quest for perfection.

Naggar led his audience in a group grumble after he cited a $32 million state funding cut that will slow progress on a massive bridge and widening project aimed at taming a traffic knot that often tangles Interstate 15 in the city.

The message was similar to the one delivered last year when

Councilman Jeff Comerchero was mayor. Comerchero cited a dramatic upturn since the recession gripped the region, state and nation five years earlier.

Naggar echoed that theme by stating that business is booming, unemployment in the city has

May Day on The Santa Rosa Bonnie Martland SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

For many years the residents of the Temecula Valley looked forward to May Day. Parker and Elena Dear of Rancho Santa Rosa hosted a May Day event legendary throughout the valley. Elena Couts Dear was the granddaughter of Don Juan and Dolores de Bandini one of the most prominent “Californio” families of early California and daughter of Ysidora de Bandini and Cave Johnson Couts.

Cave Couts, from Tennessee, a graduate of West Point, came to California as head of dragoons in 1849 with orders to change Mission San Luis Rey into military barracks. His dragoons also provided protection for the U.S. Boundary Commissioners after the MexicanAmerican War. Soon thereafter Couts resigned from the military and set about having his pride and joy, the adobe at Guajome, built. The adobe still stands today, one of the best examples of early California adobe architecture. He helped write the California State constitution and was made colonel and aid de camp to California’s third governor John Bigler.

Elena grew up as part of a large family on Rancho Guajome near Oceanside. Her childhood home is a now state park. Parker Dear was the son of entrepreneur John Dear from Liverpool, England who was considering joining a consortium put together in the 1870s to buy the Santa Rosa Land Grant. John Dear sent his 19-year-old son Parker to California to check out the potential of the property. Upon his arrival he so impressed the local vaqueros with his horsemanship and marksmanship he was invited to stay. John Dear did join the consortium and eventually bought out his partners. Parker inherited the ranch upon his father’s death.

The Dears spent most of the 1880s and 1890s on the Santa Rosa, where the Santa Rosa Plateau is today. Their six children were all born there and they raised cattle on the 46,000-acre ranch. They lived in a large white Victorian ranch house that looked out onto the beautiful vistas visitors to the plateau can still see today. Elena Dear grew up at Rancho Guajome with the Californio tradition of entertaining on a large scale with fiestas and rodeos that lasted several days or more. When she and Parker married and moved to the Santa Rosas she continued the tradition.

Everyone was invited. The event soon became legendary throughout the whole of Southern California.

People came from San Diego and Los Angeles even though it took several days travel by coach or buggy. Some years as many as 2,000 people arrived for the festivities. Beef roasted over large pits.

Guests were entertained by bands hired for the occasion. Escorts guided visitors navigating their coaches up the grade to the ranch while young bucks on horseback galloped on ahead. Tent communities provided shelter. Vaqueros sang and entertainments were provided.

Friends caught up on the past year’s events and dancing and singing enlivened the evenings. There were always left-overs to send home so families could look forward to stew and soup, and maybe even a steak, for days to come.

the Sheriff’s Department continues to experience an increase in the number of criminal investigations involving illegal cultivation of marijuana; particularly with outdoor grow-houses. The Sheriff’s Department began identifying an increase in the number of outdoor marijuana grows in 2011, with a slight uptick each year. The department is determined to aggressively investigate each reported illegal marijuana cultivation, utilizing all available resources and personnel.

“In the State of California, cultivating marijuana which includes every person who plants, cultivates, harvests, dries, or processes any marijuana is illegal. California law has only “decrimininalized,” not legalized, marijuana cultivation and the use of marijuana by seriously ill individuals who have a physician’s recommendation. This means that person(s) who cultivates and/or possesses marijuana for their personal medical needs or the medical needs of a person they are a caregiver for will have a legal defense for cultivating or possessing marijuana, as long as they do not exceed the amount of marijuana reasonably necessary for their medical condition. A medical marijuana recommendation from a doctor does not exempt a person from a criminal investigation, arrest or prosecution.”

Contacting law enforcement Anyone with additional information about these cases or who would like to report a suspected illegal marijuana cultivation should contact the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Special Investigations Bureau at (951) 955-1720, or residents wishing to report a crime can contact the Marijuana Enforcement Team by going online to www.riversidesheriff.org/ crimetips/ and filling out the form.

Those reporting crimes can remain anonymous.

Combat Vets: Temecula Vet Center is there to help!

Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

ATTENTION, U.S. combat veterans!

“We don’t want to give you a hand out, we want to give you a hand up,” said Samuel G. Mack, retired U.S. Army Colonel and the director of the Temecula Vet Center. The center is there to seek out veterans undergoing life readjustment challenges after their military combat experience.

Life adjustment for these men and women who have lived through combat, or suffer from sexual trauma or harassment among other issues, suffer many symptoms from feelings of deep guilt to paranoia. The Temecula Vet Center at 40935 County Center Drive, Suites A and B in Temecula keeps it doors open for almost 80 hours a week Monday through Saturday with friendly and concerned counselors for any veteran who walks off the street needing help and comfort.

Every staff member at the center is a veteran and understands what goes through the minds of their fellow servicemen and servicewomen Marine, airman, soldier or sailor. While the focus is on combat veterans all U.S. Military veterans who served in war or peace is welcomed by someone from the nine-member center

staff. Some members of the staff are trained in counseling and have a great knowledge of where the traumatized can find help.

Others will help veterans fill out paperwork that will get them the help they will need and direct them to where they can get free transportation to veteran’s hospitals or the care needed.

“We do our best not to turn them away,” said Mark A. Parker, a retired Navy Chief, and Temecula Vet Center office manager. “They ask, ‘What do I do? Where can I go.’”

Parker said the staff will help them, and their families, to overcome their challenges.

“We offer help to their family members as well. We give them the resources to find whatever their need is. We are respectful of their needs and find out what’s best for them,” he said.

While the Vet Center is sometimes completely filled with veterans in need, the staff knows there are many more out there they need to reach.

Many veterans have met Wayne Grajczk, veteran’s outreach specialist, who is often seen at signature city and county events from Anza to Lake Elsinore and in southwest Riverside County. He is always ready to give veterans a “hand up.”

The Temecula Vet Center at 40935 County Center Drive, Temecula is there to help any veteran who has served in the U.S. military.

where veterans can pick up any information on the benefits offered them through the federal, state and county governments. Many of the Inland Empire cities also offer veteran’s help.

The Temecula Vet Center is one of 300 such centers nationwide.

Parker said the Temecula Vet Center has approximately 350 regular veteran clients who are welcome to come into the center at any time. They can just sit down and relax, work on one of the two computers set up for them or talk with one of the counselors.

The most up to date veterans benefit information is always available.

Mack said the center has also received visits from homeless veterans, a number that continues to grow. He said there are places where the displaced and homeless veterans can go to find food and shelter. The staff directs them where to find that help, which sometimes includes transportation.

On that issue, Parker said he wished the California governor and other state governors would “be like the governor of Virginia (Terry McAuliffe) who will not leave any veterans homeless.”

Temecula Vet Center services include individual or group counseling; martial and family counseling;

TASTE from page A-1 idea of the two-day event, in the community taste format, allows residents to be able to sample from area restaurants, breweries and wineries all in one location. The attendees paid an admission fee and small tasting fee to select rare items they might not otherwise have the opportunity of trying.

“We had a new mix of restaurants, something that truly appealed to every taste,” Burkett said. “Rustico’s was back for their sixth year at the Taste of Temecula Valley, and Bluewater Grill enjoyed their first attendance.”

Ticket sales for the Taste of Temecula Valley are both for fun and fundraiser, raising much needed money for enrichment classes at Temecula Valley Unified School District, allotted to teachers who make grant requests through the TEF website.

The VIP Dinner and Concert, which received even greater emphasis than in years’ past, was catered by the Pechanga Resort & Casino chefs. The VIP Dinner and Concert package included Champagne, as well as preferred concert seating for the all-star lineup, provided by Golden Crown Productions. Artists such as Katelyn Marie, Billy Alexander, and the World’s Greatest Tribute Band, “Another Journey” took the stage with full flair to the delight of the crowd.

This year, Friday, April 29, nighttime event offered the full-blown Taste of Temecula Valley experience. All vendor booths were open from 6 to 10 p.m. on the adult only evening. On Saturday children were welcome to the family friendly event.

New vendors were on the list for 2016, with exotic international cuisine for the sampling. Asian, barbecue, Ghanian and Mexican, to Italian and American.

“This year, we offered everything from seafood to sliders,” Burkett said. “There was also an assortment of juice and ice cream vendors and, for the first time, we had some specialty spirits vendors, such as Coldcock whiskey.”

Local food and beverage vendors included Blue Water Grill, Bushfire Grill, Rustico’s, Devilicious, Zabber Thai Fusion, Hajia’s Ghanian Cuisine, Gagnon Cellars, Wiens Family Cellars, Wilson Creek, Mount Palomar Winery, Refuge Brewery, Karl Strauss Brewing, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Wiens Brewing, Joya Sangria and Pechanga Resort & Casino.

VIP seating for Friday and Saturday concerts went fast, but the music was a hit from anywhere in the Temecula Town Square area.

Saturday’s lineup included Temecula-based folk singers Dulaney & Company, Public Broadcasting Service television pianist Sebastian Sidi and the country band Temecula Road. Katelyn Mraie and Billy Alexander returned for a second night, along with Temecula favorites, Safety Orange and Master Splinter and the Shredders.

Live performances included “The Voice’s” Cole Criske and Carlsbad native Alaina Blair of “American Idol” fame Friday night.

Running the show from behind the scenes, 200 community volunteers included several teachers who were TEF curriculum grant recipients. “They wore special lapel buttons, identifying them as TEF Grant winners,” Burkett said.

High school students were able to earn community service credit for assisting with the event.

“Taste of Temecula Valley is all

about raising funds for the TEF scholarship programs,” Burkett explained. “Our all-volunteer board has given six years of curriculum grants to support TVUSD students, as well as seven years of accelerated high school classes. We’ve funded drying racks, art and music supplies and video equipment for elementary classrooms. Everything from music, violin strings, band instruments, lab

Sun City, Menifee Patriots honored at annual ceremony RIVERSIDE – Senator Mike Morrell (R-Inland Empire) hosted the third annual Patriots of the Past, Present and Future Recognition Ceremony at the March Field Air Museum in Riverside April 1, where he joined the community in honoring local veterans, service members and young leaders from around the region.

“Since being elected to state office, I have had the privilege of sponsoring and supporting legislation focusing on issues impacting those who have served in our nation’s Armed Forces,” Senator Morrell said. “Patriots of the Past, Present, and Future is about reflecting on their service and how we as a community can promote the virtues these men and women defended in the hearts and minds of younger generations. It was an honor to be in the company of so many who have answered that call.”

Over 350 members of the community attended this year’s event, where Paul Moore of Sun City was

recognized with the Patriot of the Past Award for Business. Paul decided to join the military the day after Pearl Harbor. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps and would not end his service until 21 years later as an Air Force Major. Following his military career, Paul became manager of the Loan & Investment Department of Sun City’s first financial institution where he had a direct hand in the growth and development of the city. During his career, Moore was incredibly active in his community, assisting with its spiritual, cultural, commercial and civic development. He has lent his expertise to many individuals and businesses that would go on to make areas such as Menifee and Lake Elsinore what they are today.

Moore was not able to be at the event to accept the award in person.

Attending on his behalf was his daughter Donna Cabana, granddaughter Kristina Hampton and her two daughters, Moore’s great-

granddaughters, Aurora and Scarlett Hampton of Menifee, who were nominated as Patriots of the Future in the Community Service Category.

They visited Moore the next day to share photos and present him with his award.

Aurora and Scarlett are both Girl Scouts and enjoy retelling pieces of American history to inspire past, present and future generations. They perform at school and community assemblies, and help lead the Parade of Veterans in Riverside with Sons, Daughters, and Children of the American Revolution. Both girls have gained valuable leadership skills through Girl Scouts and they continue to inspire patriotism in those that meet them.

The evening included a special recognition of Yucaipa resident and Afghanistan War veteran U.S. Marine Corporal Justin Crabbe as “Patriot of the Year” for the 23rd Senate District and a remembrance of the late U.S.

He cited the city’s low crime rate, its ample budget reserves and an array of upcoming infrastructure work that includes a $50.6 million project to upgrade the obsolete freeway exit and entrance ramps at Temecula Parkway. “Folks, we’ve only just begun,” Naggar said.

Other public works projects now underway or set to begin include additional flood control work on Murrieta Creek, widening a section of Butterfield Stage Road and constructing sidewalks and parking lots.

About 590 participants paid $40 each to attend the gathering.

The event featured more than 40 nonprofit information booths and was punctuated by performances by students and groups that included the Great Oak High School PSA Drum Line.

Attendance has rebounded in recent years at the annual breakfast event held at the Pechanga Resort & Casino by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce. About 415 people attended the event four years earlier.

Tourism spending at the casino, the nearby wine country and other destinations was a key focus of Naggar’s presentation.

The speech was Naggar’s fourth such talk as mayor over his 17 years on the council. He repeatedly cited the city’s current theme of “Families First.” Strong families, hard work and “a shared vision of excellence” are key ingredients in the city’s small town feel and its high quality of life, he said.

“Strong families build strong communities and so, together, we have built a magnificent city,” he said.

Naggar noted that tourism revenue has tripled since 2004 and now exceeds $651 million a year and employs about 7,000 workers.

A big driver of that economic sector, the Pechanga complex, has launched a $285 million expansion that will add another 568 hotel rooms, a second convention area, a two-story spa, fitness salon, an eight pool swimming venue and two additional restaurants. A study has estimated that the casino project will pump more than $550 million into the economy and create about 3,000 construction-related jobs. Completion of the expansion work will create 560 permanent jobs at the resort.

“We are seeing significant hotel growth,” Naggar said. He cited plans to build a 54-room hotel in Old Town; a 151-room luxury hotel; a 120-room Hilton Hotel and an expansion of the historic Palomar Hotel.

Temecula Creek Inn, a popular tourism destination, wants to trim its golf layout to 18 holes and build 385 estate homes on that land.

Temecula’s population has near-

Stanley Landscape Service

ly quadrupled to about 109,000 residents since it became a city in December 1989. Its median age is 34 and its average household income is nearly $86,000.

City estimates predict Temecula’s population will reach about 150,000 as growth fills the remaining vacant parcels and boosts the housing densities of sparselydeveloped tracts. Naggar said nearly 5,000 housing units have been approved for construction or are in the planning stages.

Of those proposed units, nearly 500 apartments are targeted to be built for seniors. A large portion of that figure, about 330 units, is proposed adjacent to Linfield Christian School. That 483,000-square-foot complex is expected to include a medical clinic, health club, day spa, theater, library, art studio and a chapel.

Naggar said the 1,500-home Roripaugh Ranch project, where development stalled during the recession, will be a hub of residential growth over the next few years and it will also be the site of the city’s 41st park.

He noted that a large share of the city’s future growth is expected to occur west of Old Town. A plan to build as many as 1,400 units on

270 acres west of Old Town is also working its way through the review process. That project is expected to include a new elementary school, a bypass road and a network of trails that skirt the historic business district.

Naggar also told how his son’s autism diagnosis eight years ago led him to become an “ambassador” for youths and adults in the region who have special needs or other disabilities. One outgrowth of that, Naggar said, is a work train-

ing program that the city launched along with some area wineries and other businesses.

Naggar drew a standing ovation as he closed his remarks with a nod to the city’s success and its bright prospects for the future.

“While we attain and recognize our successes, we remember to also stay true to our hometown family values. humble and kind,” he said.

“Serving you is the highest honor a man could ever have. God bless you all today.”

Water Summit examines past, present and future of Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake Tony Ault WRITER

Although Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake’s water quality has improved in recent years with less fish kills and algae outbreaks the continuing drought poses a threat to their continued improvements, according to officials at the LESJWA Water Summit April 27 in Lake Elsinore.

The Lake Elsinore & San Jacinto Watershed Authority summit held at the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District board room was called to review the progress and future challenges of the LESJWA Task Force formed 16 years ago.

The LESJWA Task Force is made up of 20 agencies and organizations who have been identified by the Regional Water Quality Control Board as watershed nutrient contributors to the lakes. It is the nutrients and phosphorous that have caused huge algae blooms in past years resulting in major fish kills that in lowered the areas’ water quality. Salinity pouring into the lakes from the Salt Creek, Mystic Lake and surrounding agricultural interests in major rainstorms is also a problem for water agencies in the region.

In the introduction to the summit Mark Norton, LESJWA administrator, told water district board members, city officials, state and government agency representatives the press and public attending, while improvements have been made in reducing the frequency and severity of algae blooms and fish kills in both lakes it is “still very dependent on storm runoff to maintain good water quality and the California drought continues to hamper efforts by stakeholders in the watershed to assist the lakes in reaching water quality targets set by regulatory agencies.”

The LESJWA, using a $15 million grant awarded them by state and local agencies, has taken steps to improve the water quality and wildlife habitats in Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake and surrounding watershed.

Lake Elsinore partners with LESJWA Last year when the Lake Elsinore lake level went below the optimal 1,240 feet water level (1234.86 feet)

the City of Lake Elsinore partnered with LESJWA in launching “Lake Watch 2015” to plan, prepare and proactively pursue solutions to preserve the lake that is a major economic asset to the city.

Nicole Daily, representing Lake Elsinore at the summit, noted that regardless of the lake’s “unbalanced fishery, increasing temperatures and extremely low oxygen levels the lake only suffered a minor fish kill of approximately 23 tons.”

She outlined the steps that have been taken in recent years to improve the quality of the lake. They include ongoing fish stocking programs, expanding recreational opportunities, seeking federal and state support, renovating La Laguna Resort & Boat Launch, identifying new funding and revenue opportunities for the lake.

Quail Valley septic prohibition reviewed Kurt Berchtol, from the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board, at the summit said the task force that oversees most of the Inland Empire’s water quality control efforts, said revisions of the state’s Total Maximum Daily Load models are needed. Thus a TDML Task force was formed to conduct stormwater and lake water quality monitoring, modeling, studies and projects to help meet state and federal water quality targets and improvements. The last studies for the area were made 10 years ago and are to be implemented in 2020.

“We need to develop a more robust, refined TDML for the area,” he said.

He explained the TDML for Quail Valley is currently being reviewed and the task force is studying the possibility of amending the Quail Valley Prohibition that could allow more regulated septic tanks in the area that developers are requesting. Until the new studies are complete the Quail Valley TDML will remain the same.

TDML Task Force reports cost savings Jason Utley from the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, explained the cities and unincorporated areas within the San Jacinto Watershed are required by federal law to

reduce the impacts of fertilizers, soaps and other sources of nutrients that are washed off urban lands and carried to Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake by stormwater runoff.

Regional in-lake management measures such as alum (aluminum sulfate), fishery management and aeration manage the impacts of nutrients that actually make it to the lakes, reducing total cost of compliance by orders of magnitude and improving the overall effectiveness of nutrient management programs, he explained.

The Canyon Lake Property Owner’s Association has successfully begun a program of spraying alum into its waters with a noticeable improvement. Utley said the management methods used by the lake POA and agricultural interests surrounding the lakes thus far have saved the cities and county over $3 million.

He said the task force speaks for all the cities and stakeholders in the San Jacinto Watershed.

Brian Dickson from the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, hosting the summit, said it was providing outstanding environmental and watershed stewardship as well, Future of the two lakes depends on creative efforts Dr. Michael Anderson from the University of California Riverside, looked at the past, present and future of the two lakes. His studies of the lakes have been ongoing for many, many years.

He noted, “The complex hydrology of the region presents unique challenges in managing Lake El-

Dairy operators helping with nutrient reductions Pat Boldt speaking for the Western Riverside County Agricultural Coalition said their organizations participation in the TDML revisions is critical. She said WRCAC members that now include 22 dairy operators in the region, have spent more than $6 million in the past 13 years for agricultural stewardship. (taking care of the farm land). It is estimated that dairy operators have 50,000 cows in the San Jacinto Watershed region, which is far below the number in the Chino area.

She noted that Scott Dairies in San Jacinto have installed a system at their farms that makes manure into diesel fuel and that the dairymen have been “backhauling” the manure produced by the cows out of the sensitive watershed areas and reusing it to grow feed crops for their herds.

They have also developed an indexing method that measures the nutrient levels both in surface and ground water and use it to monitor the effects on the watershed.

Manure is not a major contributor to the area runoff to the lakes, but salts from fertilizers used in agricultural production do create problems that are being addressed by the LESJWA.

sinore and Canyon Lake. These challenges will increase in the face of climate change that will raise temperatures, increase evaporative losses and farther increase climate variability into the coming decades.” He said using the numerical models will provide valuable insights into the planned TDML revisions. He said the nutrient and phosphorous levels are beginning to stabilize but the salinity will remain the biggest problem in the future.

The only solution to that he said is “We need a good wet year to flush those salts out!”

Local MOMS from page A-1 and dancer, and Preston, 11-yearold actor, guitarist and hockey player.

“Ava loves to act, currently is in the local production of ‘Guys and Dolls,’ and is an award winning dancer and pageant winner,” Shawna said. “Preston acts, and has moved up in hockey this year.

It’s busy!”

The auditions, the drive up to L.A. for a one-minute audition can be draining for everyone, but she sees this as quality time with the children.

Not alone in that regard, mother Sheri Osborn is raising four chil-

dren between the ages of 16 and 10 years old. A morning spent at her Temecula residence shows the busy schedule of a stay-at-home mother with children that are each involved in different activities, compounded with her role as managing her daughters’ role as child-actors and models.

She took the time to discuss daughter Jessica and Juliette’s acting and modeling careers while baking a cake for her son’s birthday.

“We have auditions Friday, and a sleepover Friday night,” she said.

“We have to balance work, school, and play with the girls’ best interests in mind.”

tions real is first and foremost on Sheri and husband Dean’s minds.

“For every one talented kid, there are a hundred more out there,” she said. “If they don’t get the job, we just shake it off and move on to the next thing.”

Juliette, according to her mother, has been entertaining the family since she was in first grade. “She always loved performing, and we decided early to start her with acting lessons, which turned into vocal lessons,” she said. “Jessica would rather model,but after going to audition after audition with Juliette, occasionally she acts.”

According to Osborn the sisters are super supportive of one another and often the girls work together.

Also a sports mom, Osborn discussed the challenges of getting pulled out of regular activities in order to appear in auditions. “Having to drop everything and rush to L.A. for an audition can flip your family upside down sometimes,” she acknowledged. Osborn has a separate alert for messages that come through from her daughters’ respective agents.

According to Osborn, the girls are acting and modeling for now though this isn’t a long-term plan.

With the chaos, drop everything and go, Sheri exhibits a servants’ heart for her daughters. “There are times when the traffic, the stress can get to us,” she said, “but their lives at home and being on soccer teams mean so much to them.”

Team sports, as opposed to the personal one-on-one of an audition, gives them perspective. “If they don’t get a job, they may internalize that as something they did wrong when the director was just looking for something else,” she said. “With a team sport, if they win they all work together and lose, they’re all in it together.”

For mother Melanie Assuma, raising son, 13-year-old son Frankie and 11-year-old daughter Sarah in the spotlight, is both rewarding and challenging for the whole family.

“Sarah grew up watching everything that Frankie was doing, being in school plays and singing, and she wanted to do it to,” Melanie said.

“If one does something, the other one says, ‘so can I!’ and off we go.”

Though her children have only been in the spotlight for only a few years, they each have landed jobs that skyrocketed their respective successes. “It started with print work, then led to commercials, and then the whole family was selected to spend a week in Maui for the Hyatt Regency house video,” she said.

“It’s been a bit of a whirlwind.”

Assuma retired from her career as a dental hygienist last year to become involved in every aspect of the children’s careers. “I’m chauffer, I work with the agents, I prepare resumes, change out pictures, and help them keep up with schoolwork,” she said. Both Frankie and Sarah attend Temecula Middle School, and according to their mom, they are both getting great grades.

“Whatever they end up doing right now, acting long term isn’t on either of my children’s radar,” Melanie said. “Frankie wants to be an orthodontist, and Sarah wants to be a vet. If either one of them decided to quit tomorrow that would be fine. If it isn’t fun for them, this isn’t worth doing.”

Shawna Sarnowski discussed her daughter’s other creative outlet, her love of drawing. “I hope that Ava pursues her dreams, the arts,” she

said. “For auditions, jobs, we just go audition, and then don’t think about it. We’re on to the next thing.

There is a lot of competition in this industry, and they have to learn that, or they will never make it in that industry.”

Sarnowski, an actress, singer and model in her own right, is taking more time to enjoy the moment, watching her children succeed, from taking Preston to hockey, guitar lessons and doing what they love.

“As a parent, what more can you ask for?” she said, offering her recommendation to parents of aspiring actors and models. “If you’re considering this path remember to have perspective. Sometimes children succeed immediately, for others with dance and music, it takes years of work. Let them try, help them succeed and let them decide when they’ve had enough.”

All three mothers cherish the drive time, and take time to make the outings to L.A. special in some way.

“They are usually in the zone on the way up, but on the way home, we go to the Grove for dinner, or enjoy conversation in the car. Sarah plays disc jockey, or sometimes can sleep the whole way home,” Melanie said. “It’s busy but priceless time.”

For Sheri, with four children she is constantly on the go, and with the demands of managing each child’s schedule, time to herself is key, and comes in a monthly “wine and dine” group. “Before I joined this group of women who meet and go out to dinner once a month, I didn’t have something that was just mine,” she said. “The group gives us the opportunity to just relate to one another, and have some me time.”

Protecting the children includes keeping their incomes private, as is protecting their down-time. “We plan ahead for vacations, tournaments, soccer games and even sleepovers, it’s important to block off their time to be kids,” Sheri said. “Even though their acting and modeling is something they love to do, we encourage their aspirations beyond this, toward college and what comes next.”

Daughters of the King celebrate sounds of silence at St. Thomas Episcopal Church Ashley Ludwig STAFF WRITER

A day of quiet reflection is good for the soul. For a group of ladies at Temecula’s St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church’s – the Daughters of the King organization – quiet is about reconnecting with God and each other.

On Saturday, April 23, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. the intimate gathering took place at the church where all enjoyed a day of quiet reflection.

The theme of the day was “A Closer

Walk with God.” In a world with so much accessibility, when one is seldom alone or left without constant demands, walking closer with God seems all but impossible.

Unless you take an intentional path to walking with Him. When was the last time that you stopped to be thankful, to just listen to the sound of birds? Or of wind in the trees? To try to hear God speak through the chaos of your day to day life?

The Daughters of the King met

together in an intentional way to spend quality time with one another as well as getting back in touch with God during Saturday’s gathering.

Just under 50 women came together for the day, put on by the 12 women who meet regularly at St. Thomas.

Theirs is an international ministry that is designed to inspire women through daily devotionals and also through various events dedicated to the spiritual and relational needs of women.

For the women present, it was about refreshing your soul away

from electronics, away from the pulls of children, family and technology.

“It’s a time to replenish mind and spirit,” Kay Rather of Temecula said. “This isn’t about being silent, but about being quiet, allowing yourself time to be still and pray.”

The day included a quiet walk around the grounds of St. Thomas of Canterbury Episcopal Church, quiet activities, such as the therapeutic act of drawing in grown up coloring books, reading or, of course, prayer.

“This event happens every year at the church,” Rather sated. “We take one day to pray and reflect back on life, and think silently about the future to come.”

Lunch was provided by the members, as were gift bags including small items and things to do while enjoying the quiet solitude and company of friends.

the needy and veterans five days a week at its Yes Center. Although the program receives church money donations as well as food donations from local super markets it is always in need of funds to carry on its work.

Therefore, Girard asked Fowler for assistance and she was able to get a Beacon Grant in the amount of $2,000. To qualify for the grant, Art must supply the center two Elk volunteers each Thursday for the next six months which he has able to do.

It was also learned that Herman DeJong, a lodge member, and owner of Dejong’s Diary supplies the center with milk each week proving that “Elks care Elks share.”

MENIFEE – In a unanimous decision, the congregation of Menifee United Church of Christ recently voted to become “Open and Affirming.” Open and Affirming is the term the United Church of Christ denomination uses to indicate that a church welcomes, celebrates and loves everyone, including the LGBT community.

“Menifee UCC always was open to lesbians and gays,” said Senior Minister Bill Freeman. “This vote makes it official that we also affirm the LGBT community for who they are and who they love.”

Last July, Rev. Freeman performed the first same-sex wedding in the 54-year history of the church.

Apparently supporting the LGBT

community is not without controversy, even in California.

Twice in recent months, Menifee UCC has had two large rainbow flags stolen from the side of the church. The church has since placed two smaller rainbow flags within an enclosed sign in front of the church. Menifee UCC is located at 26701 McCall Boulevard in Menifee.

Del Rey is an avid beach lover, lives on the Malibu coast, and regularly features ocean inspiration in songs such as “High by the Beach” and in music videos such as “West coast.”

Moreover, the venue is fittingly

moderate in capacity (unlike other megalithic festivals in California), large enough to have classic festival vibes while still manageable enough to maintain a high level of quality. With the venue size and the natural elements, the sand, waves and perfect weather- it seems as if the Ohana Festival was made for just for Del Rey to put on a spectacular show. Performing at Doheny will certainly imbue her with a jubilant energy that will be transferred to fans and all who attend.

As Del Rey single handedly brought big flower crowns mainstream and to the focal point of the pop culture scene of festival-wear, one can expect her fans – known as Lanatics or Lana-lovers – to turn out wearing big flower crown creations of their own. Other Lana inspired festival garb involves anything Americana such as Jack Daniel’s whiskey and Budweiser logo shirts and any shape or size article that pays homage to the American flag, even if that includes wearing an actual flag.

Single-day tickets run $117 including fees. More information and tickets are available at www.

Spend Mother’s Day in Temecula’s Wine Country Laurie Adams WRITER

From an elegant Mother’s Day brunch to a casual picnic, have you covered Temecula Valley’s vast offerings? Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8, and you need look no further than your own backyard, our own Temecula Valley, for the perfect wine and food pairings to make any mom’s day special.

Bella Vista Winery, located at 41220 Calle Contento in Temecula’s wine country, is one of the oldest wineries in the valley. Gizella Cziraki, who owns the winery with her husband Imre, graciously met with me to educate me on their Hungarian wines. The 2013 Dry Rozmaring, made with Hungarian grapes, is the only one of its’ kind in the valley and pairs well with fish, chicken or turkey.

Sheri Renalde, wine club manager for Bella Vista, recommends their 2008 Petite Sirah Rose for a lighter, fruitier wine to enjoy with spring dishes. For a thoughtful Mother’s Day brunch with items such as eggs Benedict, Quiche Lorraine or French toast, Renalde recommends Bella Vista’s Peacock Dance Sparkling wine. Renalde suggested their proprietary red blend, 2007 Roadkill Red, as a scrumptious pairing with lamb.

Fazeli Cellars Vineyard & Winery has a full service restaurant led by Chef Anthony Bartolotta, a graduate of the California Culinary Academy, with a light menu perfect for mom.

The saffron shrimp flatbread, which is a “secret” item not yet featured on their menu, can still be ordered.

This tasty treat starts with a bacon cream spread then layers roasted red peppers and onions, beautifully poached shrimp and finishes with pepper jack cheese and cilantro.

The saffron lends a gorgeous color and amazing flavor to the dish which pairs well with Fazeli’s 2014 Boland Rooz , a soft, clean white wine. According to the chef, the minerality of this wine helps to cut through the rich flavors of this dish and has a “dance in your mouth feel” that is crisp and refreshing.

Bartolotta also recommends the Fazeli salad for spring, a light offering featuring romaine lettuce, beets, goat cheese, pickled onions, candied walnuts and an herbacious sabzi (Persian for herbs) vinaigrette.

He suggests Fazeli’s 2012 shiraz with this salad as it plays well with the beets and goat cheese and is not overly tannic. Bartolotta said this is the first wine he tried at Fazeli and he “fell in love with it, it’s owner BJ Fazeli’s palate in a bottle.” Bartolotta also told me “as a chef I am always looking for faults and with this wine, I can’t find any.” Fazeli Cellars Vineyard and Winery is located in the Temecula valley at 37320 De Portola Road. and they also have a tasting room in Old Town Temecula at 41955 Fourth Srteet., #101.

Maurice Car’rie Vineyard and Winery, located at 34225 Rancho California Road. in Temecula, is celebrating their 30-year anniversary this year with “retro style” pale blue labels on the wines (the original color from 1986) according to Master Winemaker and Vineyard Director Renato Sais. Sais said Maurice Car’rie is known for their fresh and sweet wines which are

perfect for spring. The winery is also known for its’ “famous” baked Brie, a mouthwatering and addictive concoction of garlic butter and herb rubbed sourdough bread filled with a pungent Brie and baked until the cheese is perfectly melted and the bread is lightly toasted and warm.

The Brie pairs perfectly with their 2014 Sara Bella, a white cabernet sauvignon, which is “joyful in the mouth” according to Sais. The 2014 Gewurztraminer is also a good choice for this dish.

Van Roekel is a parallel brand of dryer wines Maurice Car’rie is producing. The 2015 Van Roekel pinot noir Rose will also pair nicely with the Brie as well as salads, fish and chicken. It is the perfect “social wine” according to Sais. The Van Roekel line will also feature three whites and nine reds. Maurice Car’rie is located at 34225 Rancho California Road in Temecula.

Mount Palomar Winery’s new restaurant, Annata Bistro/Bar, has some fresh offerings for spring and for Mother’s Day. Chef Joseph Luna gave me a preview of both the stuffed zucchini blossoms and the citrus salad. The delicate zucchini blossoms are filled with goat cheese, shallots, garlic, parsley and preserved lemons and then tempura fried. This light appetizer will pair nicely with the winery’s 2014 Muscato di Amore, a sweet white with hints of pear and peach. The citrus salad, featuring ingredients grown on the premises, consists of blood orange, navel orange, grapefruit, kale, burrata cheese, and striped beets with an olive oil and white balsamic reduction. Garnished with edible flowers, this salad was almost too pretty to eat...almost. Luna recommended this be paired with Mount Palomar’s 2012 Viognier, which has a slight lemon finish to complement the abundant citrus in this salad.

Mount Palomar will feature a special menu for Mother’s Day, which will include the citrus salad, in Annata Bistro/Bar including a free blood orange mimosa for mothers.

For the complete menu, visit www. mountpalomarwinery.com/MothersDay. Mount Palomar Winery is located at 33820 Rancho California Road., Temecula.

So look no further than the Temecula Valley for Mother’s Day ideas that are sure to delight any mom.

And if mom lives out of town, why send flowers when you can send wine?

Cheers!

‘Evening Under the Oaks’ attracts hundreds and raises thousands

Paul Bandong STAFF WRITER

Despite threatening clouds and cool breezes, Oak Grove’s 12th Annual “Evening Under the Oaks” was a huge success.

Presented once again by Lexus of Riverside, the benefit for the Oak Grove Center for Education, Treatment & the Arts was well-supported by community attendance and participation in the live and silent auctions. Over 475 community partners, parents, friends, family and sponsors attended the event.

“We are still tallying up the funds,” said Kristine Turner, marketing coordinator for Oak Grove, “but we know the most important thing we made was an impact on the lives of our kids and the future of the families we work with.”

The evening began with a silent auction under the big tent. Devilicious Eatery provided pulled pork sliders as appetizers, Ponte Winery provided wine and Broken Yolk served mimosas.

The sun shone during the entertainment on the outdoor stage.

Team “7 Years” was led by Breanna Tucker. The Oak Grove Ensemble, led by Stacey Dove, performed a unique and beautiful rendition of the national anthem. Director Gwyn Sanborn’s Oak Grove Performance Team danced and flipped to “Stand

By You.” Inside the gymnasium, fine dining was provided by Smokey Mountain Catering, Tropical BBQ, Maui Wowi Hawaiian, Provecho Grill, Rustico, Dia’s Delicious Dishes, La Cocina de Reyes, Pala Casino & Resort, and Shamrock Foods. Delectable desserts were provided by The Cake Cottage and Robin’s Nest. Ponte Family Estate and Wiens Brewing Company provided liquid refreshment. Attendees had their choice of tri-tip steak, sushi, gourmet macaroni & cheese, cheese enchiladas, tacos, jerk chicken, kahlua cupcakes, Oreo cookie fudge and so much more.

Kimmie Morrow led a special dance performance by a group from Oak Grove at the Ranch.

Guest auctioneer Courtney NitzMensic from Nebraska, conducted the live auction which saw plenty of action in support of Oak Grove.

Items included an 8 x 8 net house, a home improvement flooring package, an original oil painting “Under the Oaks,” and a Celebrity Chef

Brunch for 10 at Frangipani Estate Winery. Vacations up for auction included trips to Cabo San Lucas, Bali, Maui and a South African safari.

There was also a “Stuff the Designer Purse” item that drew lots of action.

“We believe in Oak Grove,” said Chris Close, an active bidder in the live auction, “What Tammy Wilson does here for the kids and with the community is unbelievable.” Close is with Murrieta Development, Inc. which helped build some of the classrooms and the gymnasium.

The Performance Team combined singing, a slide presentation and a flag routine performing “I am Invincible.”

A highlight of the evening was the testimonial of a family – two grandparents who are adopting their grandkids – and the success of the “wraparound” program, wrapping the family with the most essential element – love and support.

The program also highlighted the success stories of four Oak Grove students: Alexis, Morgan, Jason and Courtney. “I am most proud of being able to get along with others,” said Alexis.

Morgan, who was recently named Student of the Month, was proud of overcoming challenges and staying focused.

Jason, with his ebullient personality, said the program “has changed me into a civilized man.” He was chosen out of 300 other students for the ACE award from a recent Rotary Youth Leadership Academy camp.

“Mama” Courtney, who is graduating a year early with a 4.0 gradepoint average, said, “I see myself now emerging as a leader.”

The Big Oak Award recipients were Carrin Greenfield and Nadav Joshua from Grow Organic World.

“They go above and beyond to work with our students on so many levels – from teaching our Garden Club how to grow plants, vegetables and sustainable foods to allowing our Remote Control Car Club to use part of their land to build a track for racing,” said Oak Grove Executive Director Tammy Wilson.

Sunrise Rotary of Temecula capped off the evening with a highlight of their own: awarding three scholarships instead of one, and making them all two-year scholarships instead of one year to ensure the students are able to complete their Associates in Arts degree. Award recipients include Morgan Edwards, Zach from Dorm C and Natalie from Dorm A. Rotary President Johnny Rodgers asked this question during the

Real Estate / Home & Garden

Home Sales Leap in March Gene Wunderlich SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

some 15 percent in the past couple of years, from nearly 60 percent affordability in 2013 to just over 40 percent today. Of course that’s still significantly better than most areas of Orange and San Diego counties with an HAI in the mid 20 percent range, or the Bay area with a median home price of $1,437,500 where less than 11 percent of residents can afford a home.

Driving this ongoing price escalation is the shortage of available homes for sale. While sales jumped 30 percent month-over-month, inventory of existing homes for sale increased just 1 percent in March. Worse yet, while sales for the first quarter were up 6 percent over 2015, inventory dropped 14 percent. Demand for homes pushed absorption of existing inventory to 118 percent in March, meaning that for every new listing that came on the market, 1.2 homes were sold.

Unless that ratio changes, we will find prices continuing to escalate as more buyers chase fewer homes.

Unfortunately, new construction isn’t helping offset this demand either. Hampered by rising costs for materials, a shortage of skilled labor and a plethora of fees, taxes and regulations, developers are bringing very few products to market, either single family homes or multifamily. After a short burst of activity primarily in multifamily construction the past couple of years, even this has slowed again even as demand grows for both.

In addition to pushing prices up

After a slow start to the year for our local housing market, March sales of single family homes jumped nearly 30 percent over February (686 / 967) putting sales for the first quarter 6 percent ahead of 2015 (2,190 / 2,334). Murrieta lead the region with a 41 percent month over month increase (112 / 189) while Temecula sales grew by 24 percent (133 / 176). Pending home sales are also up 10 percent which means April sales should be even better. We could use it!

Median home prices for the region also improved in March, up 4 percent from February and 5 percent ahead of first quarter 2015 ($299,283 / $314,220). Temecula’s median price stood at $425,500 for the month, up 7 percent year-overyear, Murrieta was up 9 percent to $379,000, Lake Elsinore up 12 percent to $335,000 and Menifee up 6 percent to $308,700. The lowest median price for the region, and the most affordable homes, could be found in Hemet with a median of $207,000, still up 9 percent over last year.

Of course with increasing prices comes decreasing affordability, especially for first-time homebuyers.

According to the Homeownership Affordability Index (HAI) complied by the California Association of Realtors®, access to a median price home by the average income family for the region has fallen by

DMSD Properties submitted a plot plan for Benton Crossing in March 2015. The plot plan consists of a 4,320-square-foot-dine-in restaurant, a 2,975-square-foot drivethru restaurant with drive-thru facilities, and 103 parking spaces.

On Sept. 24 the ALUC determined that the both the average and single-acre intensity exceeded the French Valley Airport compatibility guidelines. The proposed Denny’s and El Pollo Loco would

be expected to exceed the maximum single-acre intensity of 80 people and the maximum average intensity of 40 people per acre.

Although the ALUC denied the project, Section 21676.5 of the California Public Utilities Code allows a local government to override an ALUC inconsistency determination if the board makes findings that the project is consistent with the purposes of the State Aeronautics Act. The county will provide the draft overrule findings to the state and to the ALUC for review and public comment, and the new hearing must take place at least 45 days after those findings are provided.

The state and the ALUC will have a 30-day period for comment.

County board of supervisors.

The supervisors 4-0 vote April 5, with John Tavaglione absent, conveys five county-owned parcels totaling approximately 40 acres to Castle & Cooke in exchange for Castle & Cooke conveying three parcels totaling approximately 40 acres to the county. Both properties are currently vacant and located within the City of Lake Elsinore, and the properties are adjacent to each other.

In 2004 the county of Riverside acquired approximately 598 acres of vacant land within the City of Lake Elsinore. A Memorandum of Understanding included the possibility of future boundary adjustments or other parcel recon-

figurations. A temporary operations and permanent maintenance agreement included a requirement for the county to maintain a sloped area upon the completion of specified work.

Castle & Cooke CommercialCA, Inc., will pay the escrow costs and fees for the land exchange and will assume the estimated $200,000 to $300,000 annual cost to maintain the slopes. The transaction agreement also includes restrictions on development; San Diego Ambrosia plant species must be successfully relocated from a defined easement area before any development can occur on that portion of land.

Embracing the Season’s Home Trends Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

With warmer weather ahead, now is the perfect time to assess the nest and look for ways to refresh the home with the latest colors, prints, patterns and fabrics that are on-trend for the season.

While trends provide a general framework, it is all about mixing and matching looks to create a personalized statement in your home.

Seasonal trends can be expressed in a big way or through small accents that can exist with what you already have.

For inspiration to get started, the experts at Macy’s have forecast three distinct trends for textiles, tabletop and furniture, and provided some simple ways to reenergize the home.

Now and Zen Natural materials and colors help create peaceful living spaces.

To get the look, dress the bed with relaxed linen or a duvet with a soft, blurred floral pattern. Deep, rich indigo blues are also part of this trend direction and pair beautifully with pure white or neutrals. The blue and white combination will also be popular for table linens and

dinnerware this season. Different shades of blue can be layered on the table for added interest.

A Touch of Whimsy With warmer weather comes the focus on lighter colors, whimsical design and retro design influences.

Embrace the trend with bedding and beach towels that feature bold graphic patterns and playful prints.

For the season’s get-togethers, infuse the tablescape with textured glass, as well as dinnerware with layered pattern and diamond shapes. Midcentury influences also play a big role in furniture.

Bohemian Escape Inspired by tropical locales and faraway places, the palette for this trend is darker with a focus on nature. Boho influences will be seen through patchwork design, pompom trims and fringe. To infuse this exotic look, add a decorative pillow in a rich tropical floral print or tribal motif. Green will be the “it” color of the season for housewares and outdoor entertaining.

Vintage picking—rare finds by local experts help reveal your kitschy style ed by my great-grandfather, down in Imperial Beach,” she said. “It’s still there, and my father lives there on the property, but the cows are gone now as the farm is rented to a nursery.”

That farm style resonates in the pieces Moffat sells. Most recently, she has moved into space at the popular Old Town Temecula shop, Fourth Street Antiques. There, she showcases some of her bigger ticket items as well as kitschy vintage for which she is known.

Old Town Temecula is a fantastic place to shop for vintage kitsch items from repurposed lights to vintage Ashley Ludwig photo inspired items.

When decorating with vintage Choose your style. Figure out what it is that draws you to a piece, either from a personal childhood memory, or keep to a theme. Rusty metal, chippy paint and reclaimed wood are

all in prime fashion these days. Hunt with a feeling in mind rather than a specific item. Be prepared to shop and-or swap on a moment’s notice.

Inside, outside and all-around the house There is no space, wall or shelf that can’t receive some of your vintage style. The kitchen is ideal for farmhouse pieces that still have use in them. Vintage juicers often found in prime working condition, are both beautiful and functional. Antique ricers can be used in getting the lumps out of mashed potatoes, or making your own baby food.

Ashley Ludwig STAFF WRITER

Vintage farmhouse style is the order of the day for home decor, but for many, it can be difficult to find those rare treasures. Though Kirklands, Homegoods, and other big box stores offer knock-off vintage ware, there is nothing like the time-worn kitchen gadgets, glassware or vintage tablecloths that have the heart of history behind them. Vintage kitsch has rapidly become the new classic.

A grade draws of vintage picking is the possibility of finding that diamond in the rough. For Temecula resident, Kristen Moffat, a weekend outing, what she calls “Vintage Picking” turned a one-dollar investment into a thriving business buying, selling and decorating with vintage items.

“My daughter is autistic, and I was not able to go back to work,” she said.

With a husband in construction and tough times, she worried about having enough money for food or rent.

“I went out garage sale-ing and spent a dollar on some jelly jars,” she said. “Turns out that they were worth over $100 each. Instead of keeping them, I sold them and I was hooked.”

Moffat has turned that original dollar investment into a thriving business outfitting local and SoCal shoppers with unique vintage finds. Social media is one of the mechanisms for those who seek rare finds. In southern California, the options are plentiful, but meeting a “Vintage Picker,” or someone who knows how to find the barn sales, dredge through the detritus of years gone by for the few items that will accent a home with fixer upper style, is in itself a treasured find.

“I am drawn to rustic, rusty pieces,” she said while going through her inventory. Moffat is opening her second physical store, though she actively posts unique vintage pieces on several Facebook group sales sites.

“I love warm old rich wood, I’m obsessed with metal, especially if it has different colors of chipping paint.”

Moffat is known to post farm, medical and rustic pieces over social media.

“I sell the same things that I use to decorate my own home,” she said. “I’m particularly fond of oldfashioned games, such as Pachinko and billiards.”

It takes time to hunt, purchase, and return home to clean up and post items for sale. Photography of the items is key, as is being able to research the story of each vintage piece to properly price without giving away the farm.

“It’s the most fun I’ve ever had working, and the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said. “I have a handful of ladies who buy from me every week. I can’t believe my $1 purchase

led to this.”

A visit to Moffat’s South Temecula home and one can see her unique, eclectic style at a glance. She has shaped a world with reclaimed wood farm table, mismatched chipped paint chairs, and vintage game equipment. White walls are the backdrop to her nostalgic décor. Very few items she has in her possession are permanent, as she constantly updates her style.

“My favorite item I ever found was an antique vintage 1950s kitty cat ashtray with plunger,” she said.

“I still kick myself for selling that.”

Moffat claims that her vintage style stems from being raised on a farm outside of San Diego.

“I grew up on Egger Dairy, found-

Historical indexing effort making history now Brenda Tullis SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Thanks to the global voluntary indexing effort of thousands, a local African-American gentleman, having knowledge of only a few family names including his beloved grandmother’s, yet having a desire to find his roots, accessed a free website where he found multiple records of his ancestors, his search culminating in his finding a 1700 ship’s manifest he believes to be his great-great- great-grandfather, the first man in his family to travel from Africa on a slave ship.

Following through on a friend’s suggestion, Rodgrice (Rodger) Vaughn logged on to familysearch. org, a free website sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and began a computer journey that took him on an emotional rollercoaster.

Florida-born Vaughn, a former Marine who served two tours to the Western Paific and currently coaches two youth basketball teams, said that seeing his ancestor’s name, Carolina Paulling, who stepped off an African slave ship into Port Charleston, South Carolina, was emotionally overwhelming.

“I’ve always had thoughtful dreams about tracing back my extended relatives,” he said. “I have always been a historian. When I find my people and learn their names, I put myself in their shoes and try to imagine what they were like.”

Speaking of the man he believes is his great-great-great-grandfather, Vaughn paused.

“In that small amount of time, I honestly felt as though I knew him personally and that we actually shared a long-lasting relationship,” he said.

At Harveston Lake Park in Temecula, Dayle and Charles Morgan visit with Rodgrice Vaughn about their ancestral searching efforts.

In 2015, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints purchased copies of post-Civil War records created by the U.S. Freedmen’s Bureau, an organization that was formed in an effort to help 4 million freed slaves acclimate to society. The bureau solemnized marriages, provided housing, food, clothing, education and medical care. This monumental purchase of records which journals and authenticates the lives of those freed slaves was made in an effort to have these records digitized so that people such as Vaughn, searching for their ancestors, would have access to these records free of charge.

Familysearch International is the largest genealogical organization in the world providing billions of ancestral records to anyone interested in seeking out their ancestors.

From the familysearch.org website it states, “Our commitment for helping people connect with their ancestors is rooted in beliefs held by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that families are meant to be central in

our lives and that family relationships are intended to continue beyond this life.”

In 2015, Familysearch joined efforts with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Afro-American Historical and Genealogical Society and the California African American Museum. The goal is to take these raw records and have them completely indexed in time for the opening of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture opening Sept. 24, 2016.

Indexing can be challenging as Pamela Ankeny of Temecula will confirm. Wife of Justin and mother of four, Ankeny has been doing her family history for years but first began indexing in October 2014. In December of the same year she was asked to be the Indexing Director over the Temecula Stake. A stake is normally comprised of 9 to 11 congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

“President Tracy Ham announced in April 2015 that our

stake’s goal was to index 1 million records before the end of 2015,” said Ankeny. “I admit, there were some nights that I laid awake at night worrying that we’d aimed too high. What worried me was not knowing if the members of the church would respond. That part, I couldn’t control but Oct. 2, 2015, we had indexed 1,000,147 indexed records. Then by the end of 2015, we had indexed 1,192,325 records.”

Ankeny said that the stake’s new goal is to extract and index 500,000 records specifically for the USFreedmen’s Bureau Project. “These records are challenging because the handwriting can be difficult to decipher and it’s not always easy to find the information you need to extract,” she said.

Temecula residents Charles and Dayle Morgan, parents of six, grandparents of 25 and greatgrandparents of five, especially love indexing the Freedmen’s records and have spent hundreds of hours working together on this and other projects.

“The Freedman records have been the most challenging because of the varied files,” said Dayle Morgan, a retired math teacher from a Redondo Beach middle school.

“However, the Freedman records are also the most rewarding as I read about the lives of these people.

A whole letter may contain one or two names, but in finding those names, I read lots of interesting information about each one.”

Charles Morgan, a retired production manager at Aerospace, began indexing genealogical records in 2012 but was later asked to be his congregation’s indexing director so he began to be serious about it and found it to be extremely rewarding.

“This is a very satisfying pastime,”

he said.

Vaughn was pleased to chat with the Morgans at Harveston Lake over the weekend and thanked them both for all their charitable efforts on his and others’ behalves.

Thinking about the exciting possibilities for finding his current living relatives, Vaughn had an idea.

“When I know more about my family and relatives,” he told them. “I’m going to go on a trip all over America and I’m going to be knocking on some doors. I will say, ‘Do you know that you are my family?’”

Familysearch International has launched an ongoing nationwide volunteer indexing effort and welcomes all volunteers to help with this historical effort.

Honestly, I do not recall what the lawyer said

Morton J. Grabel, Esq. LEGAL COLUMNIST

There are alternatives for settling legal disputes other than litigation including arbitration, mediation and neutral evaluations. American depositary receipt alternatives are usually cheaper and more quickly resolved than litigation.

Parties to lawsuits become increasingly concerned in resolving their legal disputes as the disputes drag on and become more expensive. This has lead to other methods to resolve legal disputes; collectively known as Al-

ternative Dispute Resolution (ADR).

Usually American depositary receipt is initiated after litigation has commenced because the court has to have jurisdiction [authority] over the parties and have jurisdiction [authority] over the subject matter of the law suit such as family law matters, breach of contract and personal injury claims, etc.

Mediation is the fastest growing American depositary receipt method.

Unlike litigation, mediation provides a forum in which parties can resolve their disputes with the help of a skilled neutral third party.

Mediation depends upon the commitment of the parties to want to resolve their differences. Obviously, if one party is committed to resolving differences and the other party wants to litigate; mediation will not survive.

The mediator, never imposes a decision upon the parties. The mediator’s job is to keep the parties talking and to help move them through the more difficult points of contention. A mediator typically takes the parties through five stages.

In the first stage the mediator gets the parties to agree on procedural matters, such as by stating they are participating in the mediation voluntarily,

Supervisor Washington initiates ordinance banning use and distribution of illicit synthetic drugs RIVERSIDE – Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved the adoption of an order initiating a new ordinance (5-0) which bans the use, distribution, sale and possession of illicit synthetic drugs. The ordinance also declares these actions to be a public nuisance.

“Recreational use of synthetic cannabinoids and synthetic cathinones, commonly known as bath salts, spice, herbal incense and other euphemistic names, pose a serious threat to the public,” stated Supervisor Chuck Washington, 3rd District, who initiated the order.

“There are reports of extremely violent reactions from the abuse of such illicit synthetic drugs, including psychotic episodes, aggression, suicidal and homicidal ideations, self-mutilation and death,” Washington said. «Most concerning, illicit synthetic drugs are primarily marketed to young people, with

reports of the drugs being sold from ice cream trucks, gas stations and convenience stores.”

The ordinance provides the County with the means to address the dangers to the community posed by illicit synthetic drugs that are not regulated by state or federal law. Current federal and state laws are not comprehensive enough to ban all synthetic drugs because the manufacturers can easily and quickly replace any illegal chemicals listed in the law with other analogues or chemical compounds, thereby evading the scope of the law. This allows the synthetic drug industry to skirt around the federal and state prohibitions.

Washington recommended a collaborative multi department ordinance and enforcement strategy that will include the Sheriff’s Department, Code Enforcement Department, District Attorney’s Office and County Counsel’s Office.

setting the time and place for future sessions, and signing a confidentiality agreement.

One valuable characteristic of this stage is the parties, who often have been unable to agree on anything, begin a pattern of saying yes.

During the second stage the parties exchange initial positions, not by way of lecturing each other or the mediator but in a face-to-face exchange with each other; if it is possible and the parties are not completely full of contempt for each other. If they absolutely despise each other then go to stage three. Often in stage two, this is the first time each party hears the others complete and uninterrupted version.

The parties may begin to see the story has two sides.

In the third stage if the parties have agreed to what is called a caucusing procedure, the mediator meets with each side separately in a series of confidential, private meetings and begins exploring settlement alternatives, and assist in some “reality testing” of their initial demands. This process, sometimes called shuttle diplomacy, often uncovers areas of flexibility the parties could not see before.

During the fourth stage when the

gap between the parties begins to close, the mediator may carry offers and counteroffers back and forth.

Finally, when the parties agree upon the broad terms of a settlement, they formally reaffirm their understanding of the settlement, complete the final details, and sign a settlement agreement.

Mediation permits the parties to retain control of the process at all times and strike their own bargain.

There is the belief parties are more willing to comply with their own agreements than by an outside party such as a judge.

An another advantage is when the parties reach agreement in mediation, the dispute is over – they face no appeals, delays, continuing expenses, or unknown risks such as in a trial.

Binding Arbitration closely resembles traditional litigation because a neutral third party hears the litigating parties’ arguments and imposes a final, binding decision that is enforceable by the courts. One difference is the proceedings are typically less formal than in a court of law. Another difference unlike court decisions; an arbitration usually offers no effective appeal process. Thus, when an arbitration

decision is issued, the case is ended.

Early Neutral Evaluation is used when either party to a dispute seek the advice of an experienced individual, usually an attorney, concerning the strength of their case. An objective evaluation by a knowledgeable outsider can move parties away from unrealistic expectations and also provide more insight into their cases’ strengths and weaknesses. Of course, the success of this technique depends upon the parties’ faith in the fairness and objectivity of the neutral third-party.

Ted Cruz’s Barbie Doll Problem Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

On paper, Ted Cruz should be the hands-down favorite to be the Republican nominee for president.

He should be able to unite the party, bring in Reagan Democrats and win this election by a landslide.

Cruz satisfies the electorate’s desire for an anti-establishment candidate like no other, having won his Senate seat against his party’s “preferred” candidate. Once in Washington, he stuck to his principles, even calling out Mitch McConnell when the majority leader engineered a vote that allowed Senate Democrats to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank, the poster child for corporate welfare. Cruz was the only candidate from either party who had the guts to go into Iowa – the corn capital – opposed to ethanol subsidies.

Cruz is an expert on the Constitution and strongly defends the original intent of the framers, who believed in a limited federal government, states’ rights, individual liberty and equality for all – not special privilege for some – under the law. Isn’t that what most Americans want? A level playing field, the ability control your own destiny and to keep a fair portion of what you earn without having it stolen out from under you by an everincreasing federal government?

Cruz is the only candidate who has promised to cut Washington

down to size, even giving us a list of federal agencies that would face the ax. In addition, he supports a tax plan that would eliminate the need for the IRS and allow you to file your taxes on the back of a postcard.

Cruz is the candidate who has the toughest stand on immigration.

To be sure, he will never get the votes from those who want a socialist system, where the government takes complete care of you, gives you your food, your housing, your health care and even wipes your precious little behind.

For all the rest, Cruz should be a clear choice. Then why is he trailing in delegates and struggling to regain momentum?

Cruz has a Barbie doll problem.

Like it or not, the average voter picks his or her president the way a 7-year-old picks her Barbie doll.

Ask any 7-year-old girl about that and she’ll will tell you, “I pick the cutest one.”

It’s the reason Hillary Clinton ditched her glasses, had facial surgery and liposuction before she became an official candidate. Even so, the affable Bernie Sanders has given the Democrats’ crown princess a run for her money. Why? It’s not simply that he is promising a lot of free stuff. He is grandfatherly cute.

Ever since the advent of television, the presidential election has been the ultimate beauty contest.

Only thrice since television became

our primary source of information and entertainment has that not held true: 1964, 1972 and 1988. Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon defeated George McGovern and George H.W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis simply because the cutest candidates were all viewed as extreme, well outside the mainstream.

The country longs for another Ronald Reagan, who was not only leading-man handsome but exceedingly fair-minded and smart. Not only that, Reagan had the ability to articulate his values and his faith in America’s founding principles in a way that made sense and cut across party lines.

Enter the articulate, whip-smart Cruz who has had just enough political experience to be a creditable candidate, but not enough to be a tool of the establishment.

Yes, many in the media have tried to portray him as the establishment alternative to Donald Trump.

However, if the truth be known, establishment types like McConnell would rather eat glass then have to deal with Cruz. They prefer “let’s make a deal” Trump. Cruz, like Reagan, would be tough. He would tear down their wall of power, just like Reagan got Gorbachev to tear down the wall that separated east and west Berlin.

The only thing Cruz lacks is looks. His nose is just a little too long. His hair is just a little too slicked down for 2016. His face has

Waldron Assembly bills moving Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The Legislature is moving into the frantic last few months of the current session, and I am happy to report two more of my bills, AB 1754 and AB 1764 appear to be progressing toward final Assembly approval.

Since San Diego County is home to a large retired population, it also attracts criminals who prey on the elderly and on dependent adults.

San Diego County’s Adult Protective Services agency confirmed a total of 1,148 unique cases of elder and dependent adult financial abuse over the past year. In response, I have introduced Assembly Bill 1754, which sets up a two-year pilot project in San Diego County, financed through the Victims’ Compensation Program, to provide

mental health and financial counseling to victims of these crimes.

AB 1754 recently passed both the Public Safety and Aging and Long Term Care Committees with wide bipartisan support. Additional hearings are pending in the Appropriations Committee.

Assessing the fiscal impact of health care policies can be difficult, especially under the current 12-month fiscal analysis required by the California Health Benefit Review Program. A review after 12 months may not capture the full impact of legislation that creates a complex health care mandate, or of new treatments which may show higher costs up-front but better patient outcomes and success rates in the longer term with actual cost savings. AB 1764, which allows for two and five-year analysis under CHBRP, passed the Health Com-

mittee in a bipartisan vote April 19, and has also been referred to Appropriations.

I will provide more updates on my legislation as we progress through the last year of the 20152016 session.

features a little too sharp to be cute.

Unfortunately, Americans are just too busy, too preoccupied with their daily lives, their sports teams, their favorite television shows to study the candidates and the issues. GOP voters are going for the slogan, the brash, rich, television star with the loudest voice and the biggest insults to go against the Democrats’ crown princess.

Yes, Donald Trump, with his dyed red comb-over, is this year’s substitute for Barbie’s Ken.

In response to the Dec. 12, 2015, story, “Murrieta Council approves amended ‘Golden Triangle’ development plan,” Deborah Christianson writes, “It is Murrieta extortion tactics.

Viewing the Domingoni development as deep pockets. They can use the revenue taxes and property tax money for improvements throughout the city. Basic infarstructure is common sense as if people can’t easily ingress and egress your property they won’t support it. Sidenote: Maybe a luxury movie theatre would be nice, like Angelika in Carmel Mountain-San Diego. And an upscale Seasons 52 restaurant and family friendly Spaghetti Factory. A Hockey Rink with dual purpose like the Citizens Bank Arena would be a great Venue option for that location.”

story, “TVUSD board approves competitive increase to executive salaries,” Cruz2016 writes, “Right on, Nuff Said… Other districts get Dr. Pepper and all we get is Mr. Pibb.”

In response to the April 27, story, “Microbreweries popularity prompts Temecula City Council to regroup,” Tom Suttle writes, “I have an “inside track” (on some not-so-private information) that says Murrieta is pushing – and likely has already lined up – the first of what could possibly be many such establishments. The current push is for Murrieta’s Old Town area near Kalmia (an area hotly promoted

by City Hall)… But there are rumblings and rumors circulating outside of City Hall that say the Ivy end of Washington Avenue – and Ivy itself – has caught the attention of some prominent movers and shakers in the world of commercial real estate… and that therein lies the future.”

Students join in a ‘Walk for ALS’ at Vista Murrieta High School Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

More than 100 Murrieta Valley Unified School District high school students, their parents and friends turned out to participate in the first student sponsored Walk for ALS at Vista Murrieta High School to raise funds for ALS research Saturday April 23.

Associated Student Body presidents and leaders from the four Murrieta high schools forwarded the idea to hold a walk for ALS through a new joint Student Outreach Program. Murrieta Valley High School ASB President Dakota Brubaker initially brought the idea for the walk to the other high school ASB leaders asking if they would join together to help people in the community who are struggling with the disease.

He reached out to ASB officers in other schools including Vista Mur-

rieta High School ASB President Wanny Mei, Garrett Brown and Luke Ekstrom from Murrieta Vista High School and Ashton Farrar from Mesa Murrieta High School for their help. The group took the idea to the MVUSD Board of Trustees who completely supported the idea as a student outreach program.

ALS or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. It spreads from the brain and spinal cord to other organ eventually causing complete loss of motor control and ultimately death.

Brubaker who took to the VMHS track in the Walk for ALS with other high school students, friends and parents said the idea for the walk came to him after a good friend of his, Don Young, died of the disease.

“He was like a father figure to me, “said Brubaker. “I wanted to get the other schools together to help

others with the disease.”

In his walk around the track he was joined by Estrom, from the Murrieta Valley High School Student Senate, who said his greatgrandmother died from the disease and wanted to do something in her memory. Other students in Brubakers walking group were student leaders from different classes and schools; Zoey Byron, Sam Felderman, Sophia Johnson, Tatum Mann, Gabriel DeLaTorre and Michael Beck. All were pleased to be a part of the special event.

Greeting the participants at the MVHS track entrance were Wanny Mei, Tatum Mann and other Walk for ALS Committee members who accepted the $5 donation for the Walk for ALS. Offered by the students at the track were ALS Murrieta Student Outreach T-shirts, light refreshments and an opportunity for the students to have fun together playing games

Health Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea

A woman keeps an eye on her snoring husband to see if he stops breathing.

Lucette Moramarco STAFF WRITER

Sleep apnea is a medical condition that has existed for centuries, but was not given a name until the late 20th century. It is a debilitating and life-shortening ailment that people around the world suffer from. Many of those sufferers do not know they have this potentially dangerous condition which affects more than 18 million Americans, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

Many people, like me, don’t become aware sleep apnea existed until a relative or neighbor is diagnosed with it, but it is important to be familiar with the symptoms as the consequences of not treating the disorder can be fatal.

Five years ago, my 25-year-old niece died as a result of undiagnosed sleep apnea. She went away for the weekend with friends, had a few drinks and took a prescription painkiller that someone gave her for a painful wisdom tooth.

During the night, she stopped breathing and was just sedated enough that her body couldn’t rouse itself, so she never woke up.

Her death was ruled an accident due to the combination of alcohol, medication and sleep apnea. She had most of the symptoms but didn’t know it. According to the Mayo Clinic, the symptoms of sleep apnea include loud snoring, waking with a dry mouth or sore throat, headaches in the morning, excessive daytime sleepiness, problems paying attention and difficulty staying asleep.

We all know people who snore, so it is important to note that snoring may not be a sign of sleep apnea, but loud snoring punctuated by periods of silence may be a good indicator of apnea, which occurs involuntarily and unexpectedly while a person is asleep.

You may also notice when someone close to you has abrupt awakenings from shortness of breath or intermittent pauses in his or her breathing during sleep.

Apnea causes a person to stop breathing repeatedly while sleeping – sometimes hundreds of times a night – estimates the American Sleep Apnea Association.

According to experts at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, snoring is essentially a partial restriction of the airway.

When a person is snoring, some air gets through the trachea, causing tissues in the throat to vibrate.

In cases of complete sleep apnea, no air gets through. Snoring can be mixed with periods of apnea, resulting in a series of snorts, whistles and stopped breathing that can make it difficult to get a restful night’s sleep.

When a person suffers from sleep apnea and periods of snoring, he or she struggles to get more air into his or her lungs.

Air supplies may be so severely limited that oxygen levels drop.

The body kicks into action and awakens the sleeper so he or she can get oxygen. This cycle may repeat itself hundreds of times throughout the night.

These moments of breathlessness can last a minute or longer and may not trigger a full awakening in a person. The sleeper may only awaken slightly and not remember these awakenings in the morning, but he or she will likely feel drowsy, which is a direct byproduct of sleep apnea.

There are different types of sleep apnea. The main types are obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea. Obstructive apnea is the most common and occurs when the muscles in the back of the throat relax during sleep and inhibit air flow. With central sleep apnea, a person’s brain doesn’t

send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. Mixed sleep apnea is a combination of both obstructive and central sleep apnea.

Many people experience sleep apnea, though it may be more pronounced in certain groups of people. Those who are overweight may have obstructions to breathing. People with a thick neck also may have a narrower airway.

Genetics may also play a role in a narrow airway in the throat, or enlarged adenoids or tonsils that contribute to airway obstruction.

My father snored a lot, and while we don’t know if he had sleep apnea, three of my siblings do.

Men are twice as likely to have sleep apnea as women, and men who are older than age 60 have an increased risk over younger men.

Smokers are three times more likely to have obstructive sleep apnea over people who have never smoked. That’s because, according to the Mayo Clinic, inflammation and mucus retention may occur in the upper airway.

People who naturally have difficulty breathing through the nose may also be at a higher risk for sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea and snoring also may cause damage to the heart.

Over time, a lack of oxygen can put undue stress on the heart, leading to a greater risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack. In addition, impotence,

memory loss and migraines may result from oxygen deprivation.

So, it is important that the disorder be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.

Anyone with sleeping problems can be tested for sleep apnea.

This usually involves some sort of sleep test, whether at home or a nocturnal polysonmography (which measures heart, lung and brain activity) conducted at a sleep center. Your doctor may refer you to an ear, nose and throat doctor if there is a physical obstruction causing the apnea. Recommendations may include losing weight, quitting smoking and other lifestyle changes if these are thought to be the primary causes behind the apnea.

apnea can include continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, which uses a machine to deliver continuous air pressure into the nose and mouth to keep air passages open. There are other air pressure devices as well. Surgery, including implants or creating a new air passageway via a tracheostomy, may be necessary in severe cases that don’t respond to other treatments.

Sleep apnea is not a condition to take lightly. It seriously affects people’s health and requires action to prevent other problems resulting from lack of oxygen to the body. Consult your doctor if you have any of the symptoms so you can be tested and treated.

Local athlete Su’a Cravens selected 53rd overall in the NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins Dean Fioresi SPORTS WRITER

A lifelong dream has finally been fulfilled for Su’a Cravens.

The former-USC linebacker/safety was selected by the Washington Redskins in the 2016 NFL Draft with the 22nd pick in the Second Round, 53rd overall.

Cravens, 20, who grew up in Temecula, has dreamt of the NFL for as long as anyone that knows him can remember. He successfully completed his first long-term goal when he committed to play football with the USC Trojans in 2013, his favorite college growing up.

Three years later and here we are.

A graduate of Vista Murrieta High School, Cravens played at Temecula Valley High School before transferring following his freshman season. During his three years at Vista, Cravens turned in one of the greatest performances the Southwestern League has ever seen, helping the Broncos win the CIF-SS Inland Division title in his junior year and being named to dozens of All-State, All-League and All-Area teams. In his senior year he earned a USA Today High School All-American selection and was selected as the USA Today High School Defensive Player of the Year, leading to his participation in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

As a Trojan, Cravens continued to show excellence on the football field, racking up 207 tackles, 34.5 tackles for a loss, 10.5 sacks, nine interceptions and four forced fumbles in three full seasons. His all-around ability was so noticeable the Trojans created a hybrid safetylinebacker position for him during his junior season, where he could roam the secondary and box as necessary. He was named First Team All-Pac-12 in 2014 and in 2015 he was named as an AP All-American.

Cravens performed well at the NFL Combine and USC Pro Day,

Washington’s top three picks included Su’a Cravens (middle), Josh Doctson and Kendall Fuller, who were greeted with a news conference the day after the 2016 NFL Draft concluded.

registering a 40-yard dash time of 4.69 seconds, a vertical jump of 30.5 inches and a broad jump of 9 feet 6 inches, gaining recognition from dozens of NFL teams.

Before the Draft, Cravens met with the New Orleans Saints, the Detroit Lions, the Oakland Raiders, the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills and the Indianapolis Colts.

Projections had Cravens going to teams like the Dallas Cowboys and the Atlanta Falcons in the early second round picks, but he was eventually swooped up in the middle of the second round by the Washington Redskins.

As a member of the Redskins, Cravens joins the likes of standout cornerback Josh Norman, who just signed with the team as a free agent.

He’ll also be lining up against wide receivers like the New York Giants’ Odell Beckham, Jr. and the Dallas Cowboys’ Dez Bryant, depending on if Washington has him playing the safety or linebacker position.

Even though players were ranked higher on multiple draft boards, the Redskins couldn’t pass up on the instincts and ability that Cravens

exuded while on the field for the Trojans.

At USC Su’a wore No. 21, which no Redskins player has worn – except in practice – since free safety, Sean Taylor, was murdered in 2007. On Sunday, it was announced that Cravens will wear No. 36, which Taylor wore during his rookie season in 2004 before switching to No. 21. T.J. Duckett wore No. 36 in 2006 and Darrel Young wore No. 36 for the past six seasons, but Cravens becomes the first defensive player to wear those digits since Taylor.

Cravens knows he’s “starting at the bottom of the totem pole” in the NFL, but the linebacker and safety hybrid is determined to earn his teammates’ respect and carry on the legacy of late Redskins safety Sean Taylor.

Expect to see some new Washington Redskins jerseys around town, as fans root for the hometown boy who finally accomplished his big league dreams.

HS Baseball: Playoff picture being painted, league title still up for grabs JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Things just got really interesting in the Southwestern League playoff hunt with just four games to go. Murrieta Mesa (20-5, 10-1), who are having a historic run this season, were potentially looking to seal the deal on the season and claim their first ever Southwestern League Championship Thursday, April 28, but defending league champs, the Vista Murrieta Broncos (16-10, 7-4), were not going to let them take it without a fight. And fight they did.

The game was a pitcher’s duel before Mesa’s senior heavy lineup, which included the lone junior Kiel Palm at second base, got on the board in the fourth inning when they finally jumped on Chance Hroch for two runs. Seniors Justin Randle (2-3, 2B, RBI) and Kevin Palm (1-2, RBI) scored Brad Prebay and Andy Thomas to put the

VMHS junior, Joey Hodapp, steals home in the Broncos 3-2 win, snapping Murrieta Mesa’s 10-game league winning streak.

Rams out in front, but Vista Murrieta knew they needed a win to keep their hopes of claiming another Southwestern League title alive.

Senior Zac Filos, undefeated on the mound going into this game

to improve his record to 8-2 on the season and helping his team move into a two-way tie for second place with Great Oak, as they are both just three games back of the Rams with four to play.

“We’ll find a way to battle back.

Our guys know they still have work to do and will be ready to go at these last two weeks with the same focus that got us here so far,” said Rams head coach, Bryn Wade.

On the opposite side of the valley the Great Oak Wolfpack also needed to win to ensure the league title stayed up for grabs and took care of business as they kept themselves in the playoff hunt behind the arms of freshman Cameron Mabee, senior Ryan Swarthout and junior Trent Topping. All three pitchers helped do their part to ensure a 6-2 victory over the visiting Golden Bears. Commanding plate appearance by a barrage of Great Oak hitters including Owen Janes, Carson Seymour and Chris Begg kept the Wolfpack in front all game. Seniors Ryan Clack and Connor Cannon tried to help their Golden Bears

with 5 wins this season, took a one-hit shutout into the sixth inning before the Broncos busted out their bats from the saddle when four of their first five batters reached base.

Junior Joey Hodapp then came up clutch for the Broncos as hit the tying two-run triple with two outs in the sixth inning. A Marc Gonzalez walk brought up the opportunity for a double steal where Hodapp again clutched up on the gamble play and stole home for the go-ahead run to give Vista Murrieta a 3-2 lead going into the seventh inning.

“There was and still is a lot on the line. I just tried to relax and do my part. I put a good swing on the ball, a fastball, the same pitch they started me off on my first two at-bats and once I got to third, I knew we were going to have an opportunity to score again,” said Hodapp.

Hroch worked past a lead-off single in the top of the seventh by Kevin Palm to secure the 3-2 win, handing the Rams their first league loss this season. Chance pitched a complete game for the Broncos

fight, Cannon was 2-3 on the day and Clack knocked in the only runs for Temecula Valley, who now sit dead last at 1-10 in league.

The Chaparral Pumas and the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks traded blows this week, which helped them both in the big picture as there is still a glimmer of hope for a post season run by either team if things fall in to place for them. Tuesday, April 26, Chaparral was held at bay by the Nighthawks, losing 10-4 thanks to the bats of Josh Weeks (3-4, RBI) and Gage Sanchez (25, RBI), along with a great outing on the bump from complete game pitcher, junior Brad Kay. Thursday, April 28, was a different story as the Pumas fought back to stay in the hunt, defeating Murrieta Valley 5-2.

The playoff picture can be painted so many different ways right now. Four games remain and there are only two guarantees at this point in the season, one is that Murrieta Mesa is the only team from the Southwestern League right now that will be there to move on to the post season for the first time ever and the other guarantee is the 2014 CIF-SS Division 2 winning Golden Bears, for the first time since 2010, will not.

The final two weeks of action resumed this week as Murrieta Mesa faced off against Great Oak, Vista Murrieta battled it out against Chaparral and Temecula Valley attempted to spoil things for Murrieta Valley, Games were Tuesday and Thursday, with start times of 3:30 p.m.

STORM REPORT Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The San Diego Padres AdvancedA minor league affiliate, the Lake Elsinore Storm are 25 games into the 2016 season and still looking for their first league title since 2011.

Currently sitting at 11-14, as of press time, the Storm are third in the California League South Division standings behind the High Desert Mavericks (19-6, Texas Rangers affiliate) and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (17-8, Los Angeles Dodgers affiliate).

Already off to a better start than

last season, where they finished in last place at just 50-90, the Storm have turned in some impressive performances, most notably from starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet, who is 3-1 with a 1.73 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 26 innings pitched.

Outfielders Edwin Moreno and Franchy Cordero are leading most offensive stats, Moreno has five home runs and Franchy has also played well thus far, hitting .232 with three homers, 10 RBIs and has a team-high 16 runs scored.

McLeod wins San Antonio Joe Naiman VALLEY NEWS CORRESPONDENT

Michele McLeod lived in Temecula for 12 years before moving to Texas in 2005 for better professional opportunities. At the time she was not a full-time rodeo barrel racer, but this year’s San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo turned out to be one of McLeod’s Texas opportunities.

McLeod won the Barrel Racing championship at the February 11-28 rodeo along with $23,529 in prize money. Those earnings will count toward her standings position money as she attempts to qualify for the National Finals Rodeo for the fourth consecutive year, and she also won a $5,000 gas card and a certificate for a yearling of her choice from a Texas breeding farm.

“Everything was great. I’m very blessed to do what I love to do,” McLeod said.

McLeod rode Slick, an eight-yearold stallion, at San Antonio. “It was great to be on Slick. It was his first rodeo back since NFR,” she said.

The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo has a progressive format. The competitors are placed into one of five brackets. Each barrel racer has three runs with position earnings being provided for the four fastest times in each go-round. The four highest earners in each bracket advance to the semifinal round. The semifinals consist of two brackets and two runs for each barrel racer, and the top five earners in each bracket advance to the finals.

“It’s a great rodeo. It’s a great com-

mittee. The hospitality down there is wonderful,” McLeod said.

McLeod was in the fifth bracket.

Her first run February 21 was completed in 14.15 seconds and split second and third place with 2014 world champion Fallon Taylor. McLeod and Taylor earned $1,426 apiece for that run.

McLeod did not have one of the four fastest times in the second goround February 21. “It wasn’t quite fast enough to place. It was just a nice solid run,” she said.

McLeod led the bracket for the third go-round February 22 with a time of 13.92 seconds, which gave her $2,281 for first place. Kelly Tovar had the second-place time of 13.96 seconds.

McLeod’s 23-year-old daughter, Katelyn, also won her bracket’s third go-round and qualified for the semifinals. Katelyn McLeod completed her February 20 third run in 13.96 seconds and also placed third in the February 19 first go-round with a time of 14.14 seconds.

Both McLeod family members were in the second bracket for the semifinals. Michele McLeod had a run of 14.14 seconds in the first goround February 25 to place third and earn $2,139. In the February 26 second go-round Michele McLeod won $3,208 for her second-place time of 14.10 seconds while Katelyn McLeod was third with a run of 14.14 seconds to earn $2,139.

Michele McLeod qualified for the February 27 finals, where she posted a run of 13.80 seconds. “He saved

fans have been looking for. Last season, Morales led the Padres Single-A affiliate, the Fort Wayne TinCaps to a 77-61 record and a third place finish in the Midwest League, where they were knocked out in the first round of the playoffs. It was the team’s best finish since 2009, accumulating 14 more wins than the 2014 season.

This season the Storm announced the first ever Midway Classic, a Home Run Derby style event in conjunction with the USS Midway Museum and Port of San Diego. The derby will be held on the deck of the USS Midway Monday, June 20, and players will hit as many balls as

they can into the Bay, which will be retrieved by volunteers. The event is part of the All-Star Game festivities that the team will be involved in this season. As a member of the Padres organization, who are hosting the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, the Storm will host the California/Carolina League All-Star Game June 21 at Storm Stadium.

As always the Storm continue their ticket promotion for Taco Tuesdays ($3 dollar tacos and 2-for1 tickets), Thirsty Thursdays where the Diamond offers $2 beers (for 21-and-older fans) and $2 sodas and Firework Fridays, where the team

his fastest run for the finals, which is great,” she said of Slick.

First place in the final round earned McLeod $14,476. Ivy Conrado had the second-place time of 13.99 seconds.

“Very happy,” McLeod said.

“Slick was really consistent. He worked great.”

McLeod moved from Santa Maria to Temecula in 1993 because of equestrian opportunities. She worked full-time training horses after moving to Whitesboro, Texas, in 2005.

Whitesboro has a population of approximately 3,800 and is approximately 65 miles northeast of Dallas.

Slick’s registered name is Slick by Design; he is owned by Jason Martin and Charlie Cole. Although Cole now lives in Texas, as a teenager he was a resident boarder at Rawhide Ranch in Bonsall.

Former Temecula resident, Michele McLeod, won the Barrel Racing championships in Texas this past February.

The Storm are currently on the road for a seven-game road trip, starting off with a four-game series against the Modesto Nuts this week, then three games against San Jose and back at home against the 66ers starting May 10. Visit www.stormbaseball.com for more ticket info and more.

The Murrieta Mesa Rams varsity boys’ tennis team won a nail biter at home over Chaparral in their last regular season match Wednesday, April 27, edging out the visiting

Pumas by overall games in a 9-9 tie, wining 76-74. There were no sweeps from the Rams players as the only sweep of the day came from Chaparral’s Ethan Johnstone who won his sets 6-4, 6-2, 6-2.

Mesa had a lot to prove this season and despite their 3-7 overall

record, head coach Lisa Laney is confident the future will be bright for this up and coming program.

“This is a great victory for the boys and this is the first for Mesa Tennis. We are a young team with a lot of potential in the future,” said Laney.

Sports HS Boys Golf: Great Oak edges out Murrieta Valley, captures 10th consecutive Southwestern League Title Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The Great Oak Wolfpack boys’ golf team continues their excellence on the links, taking home their 10th straight Southwestern League Title with a win over Murrieta Valley April 28.

Led by the SWL’s best golfer for the second-consecutive year, Haoyuan Li, the Wolfpack downed the Nighthawks by just nine strokes to finish the league season off 9-1, earning revenge on Murrieta Valley (8-2) who beat them earlier in the season.

Li finished off with the lowest score, a 35, two less than any other golfer during the match. Murrieta Valley’s Harrison Kingsley was the team’s top performer, shooting a 37, tying Great Oak’s Tim Davis for second-best.

Murrieta Valley’s Edwin Kuang

finished off the season as the SWL’s second best individual golfer, followed by the Wolfpack’s Ryan McCoy. The rest of the Southwestern League rounded out as such: Temecula Valley (6-4): Third; Vista Murrieta (5-5): Fourth; Chaparral (1-9): Fifth; Murrieta Mesa (1-9): Sixth. Great Oak, Murrieta Valley and Temecula Valley all qualify for CIF Playoffs.

Southwestern League finals commenced May 3 at 12 p.m. at Cross Creek Golf Club in Shotgun style play. They finished the next day and began to rest up before the Central Individual Regional May 9.

CIF Individual Finals start May 19 and the State Championship will be played June 1.

PIANO LESSONS

The first ever Southwestern League boys’ volleyball season is nearing its finish as teams wrap up their league play in the coming weeks.

Despite it being their first official season of play there was tons of excitement and several teams announced their arrival as powerhouse’s right out of the gate.

One of those teams was the Great Oak Wolfpack (20-4), who is currently on a 16-game win streak and haven’t lost since March.

Most recently the Wolfpack cruised past Temecula Valley in three sets, winning 25-14, 25-23 and 25-13, completing the season sweep of the Golden Bears. Great Oak has one final game before the end of the season, a home match against Vista del Lago April 28.

Never lost in the discussion as one of the Southwestern League’s best contenders is Vista Murrieta, who has the second-best record in the league at 17-6. They’re also the only SWL team to beat Great Oak this season. Led by head coach Kristen Cooke, the Broncos have two more matches this season before wrapping up the year against

Due to fan excitement, team management from Temecula FC will make another announcement May 7 when they host Corinthians USA. Courtesy photo

Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The Temecula Football Club continues to make impressive moves in their third season as a team. Just months after announcing that they have relocated their home field from Linfield High School to Galway Downs, the team expects to make another announcement at their upcoming home match May 7.

The Temecula FC Quails are a member of the National Premier Soccer League, a fourth tier league in America that has 85 teams across the nation in 29 states. They were founded in 2013 and played in their first ever NPSL season in 2014.

This year they are looking to make their first playoff appearance and qualify for the U.S. Open Cup. According to Club Owner and Assistant Coach Brandon Jantz, the team’s announcement will be very substantial as they continue to develop as a professional club, especially in terms of building their own stadium in the near future.

In early March, Temecula FC announced that they would be

moving their home field location to the Galway Downs, already known to be one of Southern California’s premier polo fields. Since then, fans have expressed their pleasure with the move from Linfield High School to Galway, especially because the team is able to serve food, beer and wine.

After seeing the increased flood of support, team management has decided to make another announcement May 7 when they host Corinthians USA. The Quails are currently unbeaten in their previous two matches, after tying Social Sports Club 1-1 and downing NC Battalion 3-2.

Temecula FC is led by head coach Willie Donachie, who played for the Scottish National Team and made over 300 appearances for Manchester City from 1968 to 1980. This is the fourth team that Donachie has managed.

The match begins at 5 p.m., but the special announcement will be made 10 to 15 minutes before start time, so make sure to get there early!
