Temecula’s city clerk named 2016 Clerk of the Year for the state of California TEMECULA – The City Clerks Association of California (CCAC) awarded Randi Johl-Olson with its highest honor as 2016 City Clerk of the Year for California at the annual CCAC conference held in Newport Beach April 28. Johl-Olson joined the City’s Executive Team as the city clerk for the city of Temecula in 2014 after previously serving as city clerk for the cities of Fountain Valley and Lodi and law clerk for Harper & Burns, LLP. Over the past two decades, Randi’s professional accomplishments include a law degree, a Master Municipal Clerk Certification, numerous leadership appointments and positions with

the League of California Cities, the City Clerks Association of California, and the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, as well as serving as a liaison to the Fair Political Practices Commission on behalf of city clerks. In her most active role to date, Johl-Olson continues to serve as the statewide Legislative Director for the CCAC. “We knew Randi would bring a high caliber of experience to the city but what we’ve found to be additionally exceptional is her outstanding work ethic, devotion and enthusiasm to serve the community and this is clearly notable statewide,” said Temecula Mayor Mike Naggar. “I am not surprised

she was selected as Clerk of the Year for California.” City Manager Aaron Adams agreed with Naggar’s assessment. “Randi has demonstrated leadership that is more than deserving to be selected as City Clerk of the Year based on her accomplishments, dedication to the profession, extra-curricular city clerk leadership positions, legislative/ lobbying intelligence, exceptional work product, and a high level of energy she brings to her department, colleagues and to the city,” Adams said. Johl-Olson was selected as City

Murrieta Council denies appeal to stop Old Town restaurant and bar development Tony Ault WRITER

An appeal to halt plans to build a family oriented open air restaurant and bar on Juniper Street in historic old town Murrieta by residents in the neighborhood was denied by the Murrieta City Council at its May 3 meeting. The site development plan and conditional use permit was initially approved by the Murrieta City Planning Commission Dec. 9, 2015. The council heard from more than half dozen Juniper Street residents upset for fear the project would endanger children going to the nearby Murrieta Elementary School. They also expressed concerns regarding traffic and parking problems, deter fire department vehicles on emergency calls and create more problems for the police. The council denied the appeal in a 3 to 1 vote with Councilman Alan Long absent, but with new conditions. The appeal was filed by the residents in February.

An open air restaurant and bar is planned for this location on Juniper Street between Washington and Plum Avenues within the Historic Murrieta Specific Plan. Some Juniper Street residents oppose the plan which will include a full service restaurant, non-amplified music, four high end food carts and a wine and beer bar. Tony Ault photo

Community effort brings necessities to those in need Brenda Tullis SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Hundreds of donors, volunteers and businesses came together at 12 different locations across Temecula to assemble hygiene kits that were donated to charitable organizations throughout the local community. On Saturday, April 16, donors and volunteers from Temecula Preparatory School, Meadowview Neighbors, French Valley Elementary School, Temecula Middle Schools, Pathways Temecula Academy, Veteran’s Supplemental Support Network, Crossroads Church, Vintage Hills Elementary School, Morgan Hill Home Improvement Association and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints assembled 9,798 hygiene kits that were donated to several charitable organizations. Volunteers from each of the organizations raised money to purchase the products for the hygiene kits. Kits included wash cloths, combs, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant and soap. Small children drew and colored encouraging pictures such as simple smiley faces while teens and adults wrote personally handwritten messages of encouragement which were also included in each kit. One message read, “Every strike brings me closer to my next home run.” Babe Ruth. Additionally, donations of hundreds of pairs of socks and underwear of all sizes were also collected and distributed to local organizations to assist in the effort of supporting those in need. Delighted recipients included Veterans Supplemental Support Network, Hope’s Community Closet, Community Mission of Hope, Temecula Pantry, St. Martha Community Food Pantry, St. Catherine’s Pantry, Temecula Senior Center, Inland Valley Medical Center, Temecula Hospital and Rancho Springs Medical Center. Chaparral High School senior Emmett Rock, searching for an Eagle Scout project which would provide the needed level of community service required to qualify, learned that he needed to raise more than two thousand dollars to purchase the supplies then supervise the Saturday morning event. He eagerly took the project on. He first raised the necessary funds, then coordinated the efforts of his friends, church members, neighbors and volunteers and directed the assembling of 1,000 hygiene kits, later delivering them to Community Mission of Hope in Temecula. Steve Falk, Community Mission of Hope Director, expressed his gratitude. “You are a blessing to our community,” he said. “We look forward to working with you

Emmett Rock fulfilled requirements for his Eagle Scout project by coordinating the efforts of his family, friends, and church members who collectively donated funds and assembled 1,000 hygiene kits that were donated to Community Mission of Hope in Temecula.

to help those in need.” “From the youngest 3-year old to senior citizens, there was something for everyone to do,” said Jason Osborn of Temecula. “It was well organized and lead by a great young man who was learning to lead while supporting the community at the same time.” “It was an honor to work with Emmett,” said volunteer Dana Crisp. “Working on this project made me realize how even a small amount can help those in need.” “My eagle project was a lot of hard work,” said Rock, “but it was a very rewarding experience. I feel blessed that I was able to lead this project and that I was able to give back to my community. I couldn’t have done it without many generous donors and all of the people that came to help and I am very thankful for them.” Hope’s Community Closet’s Executive Director Krissy Allen, said that it was an incredible donation for their program. “This will be a great blessing to the families who visit our store,” she said. “We are grateful to now be able to offer the hygiene kits to all the students we serve. Thank you so much for your generosity and compassion toward families in need in the Temecula Valley.” Arezou Jami aided volunteers at the gathering that benefited the veterans and the VSSN, bringing her sons, 2-year old Hasib and 5-year old Emran. “I wanted them to learn,” she said. “You have to teach them early to help serve other people. If you put it in them as early as possible, they will be that way.” ChiChi Emerziem came with co-worker Candace Whitmore of Red Hawk as they worked with Pathways Temecula Academy. It’s such a blessing to be here,” she said. “I am so happy to be invited to participate.”

Manager of Saint Martha’s Pantry, Maria Bhanukitsiri expressed their sincere appreciation. “The hygiene kits will help our community,” she said. “We normally give food to people of low income but by providing toiletry supplies we also help them because they cannot afford those things. And it promotes good hygiene habits.” Pastor Scott Anderson of Crossroads Church hosted one of the 12 events. He said that he had one desire when people received the hygiene kits. “I hope they feel loved and that they know that somebody thought about them,” he said. Nine-year old Sabia Dillard summed up the entire undertaking from beginning to end when she said, “The best part of helping was – all of it!”

Study finds human activity is a major factor driving wildfires WASHINGTON D.C. – A new study examining wildfires in California found that human activity explains as much about their frequency and location as climate influences. The researchers systematically looked at human behaviors and climate change together, which is unique and rarely attempted on an area of land this large. The findings suggest many models of wildfire predictions do not accurately account for anthropogenic factors and may therefore be misleading when identifying the main causes or drivers of wildfires. The newest model proportionately accounts for climate change and human behavioral threats and allows experts to more accurately predict how much land is at risk of burning in California through 2050, which is estimated at more than 7 million acres in the next 25 years. Climate change affects the severity of the fire season and the amount and type of vegetation on the land, which are major variables in predicting wildfires. However, humans contribute another set of factors that influence wildfires, including where structures are built, and the frequency and location of ignitions from a variety of sources – everything from cigarettes on the highway, to electrical poles that get blown down in Santa Ana winds.

As a result of the near-saturation of the landscape, humans are currently responsible for igniting more than 90 percent of the wildfires in California. “Individuals don’t have much control over how climate change will effect wildfires in the future. However, we do have the ability to influence the other half of the equation, those variables that control our impact on the landscape,” said Michal Mann, assistant professor of geography at George Washington University and lead author of the study. “We can reduce our risks by disincentivizing housing development in fire-prone areas, better managing public land, and rethinking the effectiveness of our current firefighting approach.” The researchers found that by omitting the human influence on California wildfires, they were overstating the influence of climate change. The authors recommend considering climate change and human variables at the same time for future models. “There is widespread agreement about the importance of climate on wildfire at relatively broad scales. At more local scales, however, you can get the story quite wrong if you don’t include human development patterns,” said co-author Max Moritz, UC Cooperative Extension fire ecology specialist whose lab is at the

University of California, Berkeley. “This is an important finding about how we model climate change effects, and it also confirms that getting a handle on where and how we build our communities is essential to limiting future losses.” Between 1999 and 2011, California reported an average of $160 million in annual wildfire-related damages, with nearly 13,000 homes and other structures destroyed in so-called state responsibility areas - fire jurisdictions maintained by California, according to Mann. During this same period, California and the U.S. Forest Service spent more than $5 billion on wildfire suppression. In a model from 2014 that examined California wildfires’ destruction over the last 60 years, Mann estimated that fire damage will more than triple by midcentury, increasing to nearly half a billion dollars annually. “This information is critical to policymakers, planners and fire managers, to determine wildfire risks,” he said. The paper, “Incorporating Anthropogenic Influences into Fire Probability Models: Effects of Human Activity and Climate Change on Fire Activity in California,” published April 28, in PLOS ONE.

Menifee approves grant funding for service programs Jacob Preal VALLEY NEWS INTERN

City Council convened May 4, to discuss a City Council Meeting Rules of Decorum Revision, as well as to finalize an Outstanding Citizen Award Program. Council also heard several fiscal community operations amendment proposals, including those concerning the Annual Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). This grant allocates funds to eligible public services programs and activities that are determined through an application process. Other categorical funds affected by the Annual Action Plan include citywide projects and programs and planning and administration services. Mayor Scott Man’s proposal to discuss the Outstanding Citizen Award Program before the City Council Meeting Rules of Decorum Revision was approved, despite running

RESTAURANT from page A-1 The action will allow Casey Jurado, owner of the property at 41958 Juniper Street and other nearby properties to go ahead with his plans to build the restaurant and bar providing certain new conditions are met on planned construction, name and operations. The residents greatest concern, expressed in the public comment portion of the hearing on the appeal, was the serving of alcohol, noise and the possibility parking for residents would be made difficult. The Murrieta Planning Department initially approved the plan, after a public hearing and over the objections from four who live nearby in December. The commission, seeing the property was in a commericial/ residential zone allowing for Village Mixed Use (VMU) that allows for commercial use as well as 18 residential units per acre, gave their approval but suggested Juardo make some changes in the ABC licensing that would allow for a restaurant and bar, not just a bar. The changes were not made and the residents, made an appeal to the planning commission to halt the project. Jurado appeared before the council, following additional discussions with the city staff, saying he was in agreement new conditions placed on his project plans by the planning department that included changing the Alcohol Beverage Control department’s section 48 license that would allow the serving of beer and wine on public premises (bar) to a section 47 that allows beer and wine to be sold at a “Bona Fide” public eating place (restaurant and bar with 50 percent of sale of alcohol to 50 percent sale of food in a full kitchen). In addition, Jurado said he would change the name of the venue from “Murrieta Beer and Wine Garden” to the “Village Patio,” play only non-amplified music, provide the full service kitchen, play only subtitled televisions and build a higher wall at the back of the facility to reduce the sounds coming from the patrons. He had trouble with a condition that his weekend hours’ end at 9 p.m., yet at the meeting said he would agree to close at 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday nights instead of the midnight closing first requested. Jurado said he would revise his business model to meet the new conditions. “I never intended the place just to be a bar,” said Juardo. “I want this to be a family place.” He said his plans always had a full service kitchen included in the main facility and four food carts that would be selling specialty high end food items. The final project plans with the revisions will still need the council’s approval. Still, with the changes offered, half dozen Juniper Street residents voiced objection to the project and wanted Council to uphold their appeal. Dawn Gilbert and Jenny Mayoral, Juniper Street residents, were the first to voice their concerns about the project before the council waving petitions signed by 131 residents who live in homes on Juniper and the streets surrounding the proposed development. “There is still an increased risk here,” Gilbert said. She noted the added traffic alone would be a risk and it would impede residents using the library and the senior center. Resident Carol Sierra said, “we are not against growth, but we want controlled growth in Old Town.” She said to her, Village Mixed Growth should be retail stores, offices and service centered business, “not a bar.” “Alcohol is the real issue here,” she said. “An open air bar?” “This just doesn’t fit,” said Michelle Von Ranzou. “I need my kids safe. There will be no parking for use.” The residents said an alley that

contrary to the order on the meeting agenda. Seeing that one of the options for the award program required a decorum revision, the mayor wanted to discuss that item first so that they could group it with the decorum revision discussion should it be selected. After ample discussion, the council voted unanimously for this option, with the understanding that each council member will choose a member of their district and have staff select the recipient. Councilmember John Denver expressed concern with the perception that citizens will view this as a political act, rather than a rewarding one for the city. The rest of council was displeased with this comment, with Councilmember Matthew Liesemeyer declaring “shame on ‘perception’” in lieu of a positive influence on the city. In addition, the new decorum policy was approved by Council after a few modifications were made to a reading inserted into the meeting

agenda’s Public Comments section. The writing outlines the fact that councilmembers are not required to respond to non-agenda items at the time such public comments are made. Council also listened to several public hearing items that discussed the 2016-2017 Annual Action Plan (AAP) for the CDBG. The city has had an AAP in place since it ended participation under Riverside’s CDBG. Menifee now contracts directly with the federal department of Housing and Urban Development in order to assure better service of Menifee residents. This year, approved public services programs including Hospice of the Valleys, Habitat for Humanity and Boys and Girls Club of Menifee Valley, have been added to the AAP. Though not all listed recipients of the grant are headquartered in Menifee, several representatives of approved public programs assured that their work benefits the city. Mann challenged staff to, if pos-

runs between Juniper and C Street on the side of the project property is used by children to get to school and traffic in the alley would endanger the children. The alley is not paved and is narrow, but would be changed with the project. Juardo said the alley is full of weeds hardly ever used and the children have even built dirt skateboard ramps on it. It is some distance from the elementary school. It is more than two blocks away from the Juniper Street Fire headquarters. “I live next door to this damn thing,” Dexter Misk said. “There would be too much traffic and no parking for us. Just listen to us. We don’t need this.”

Not only the adult Juniper Street residents came forward to voice their objections, Jenny Mayoral’s two daughters Mindy 10, and April, 8, read letters they had written to the council about what they want to see in the new Old Town Murrieta master plan being revised now. “Good evening mayor and council members, my name is Mindy Mayoral. I am a fifth-grader at Murrieta Elementary School and resident on Juniper Street,” Mindy said. “I am here today to speak about my concerns within my neighborhood. I have been listening and reading many discussions involving the open air establishment and the incoming busi-

ness in the historic downtown are. “Murrieta seems to be having an increasing amount of restaurants/bars being developed. Why do we have to have so many alcohol serving businesses near my elementary school. There are a total of nine places that sale alcohol within a one-mile radius of the Murrieta Elementary School and possible two more pending,” she continued. “If I was in in charge of making decisions, I would encourage more kid-friendly places such as ice cream parlors, candy shops, art/potter classes, quilting shops, beading shops, music stores, book stores, toy stores, sandwich shops, taco shops

and a museum that shows the history of Murrieta, she said. “After all the City of Murrieta is heavily populated with families who have children. The kind of establishments I mentioned would appeal to both residents and tourists. In conclusion, lets develop historic downtown Murrieta as a place where all ages can come and enjoy time with their families.” Voting to deny the appeal was Mayor Randon Lane, Jonathon Ingram and Rick Gibbs. Councilman Harry Ramos voted to accept the appeal. Councilman Long left the meeting early. The meeting concluded at 10:30 p.m. after an extension.

Every Child’s Dream Foundation Partners with Assistance League to help children Paul Bandong STAFF WRITER

Tasha-Nicole Terani’s life began as a newborn baby in a box in an alley in the third-world country of Tehran. She didn’t even have a blanket, abandoned and left to die by her birth mother. Today she heads a worldwide organization, Every Child’s Dream Foundation headquartered in Los Angeles, dedicated to helping children. Her journey is an inspirational one and that journey

recently led her to Temecula. On Friday, April 22, Terani was in Temecula, making the first of many planned donations to the Assistance League of Temecula Valley. The two organizations have formed an informal partnership, ECD will provide product donations for children’s programs and ministries and AL will distribute them locally through its many programs. On her first trip to the Temecula offices of the Assistance League, Terani brought over $10,000 worth

of donated products, motivational writing journals as well as designer pencils, pens and pencil sharpeners. Terani heard of the Assistance League’s need for school supplies to fill 200 backpacks for locally underserved children and decided to help. She filled a truck with over 16,000 products and brought them personally to Temecula. The donations were accepted by Sue Sampson, Assistance League President, Dorcas Shaktman, former Assistance League President, Denise Lanier, incoming Vice President of Philanthropic, Wendy Bradshaw, Operation Foster Youth and Joan Price, public relations chairman of the Headstart Program. “We have provided assistance to over 24,000 kids throughout southwest Riverside County’s economic development region,” said Lanier, “this is a great opportunity to help with distribution.” On Monday, May 9, those donations were used by Assistance League volunteers to fill 200 backpacks. Counselors working with foster youth, homeless and at-risk students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District received 280 inspirational journals. The rest will go to foster family agencies and group homes. Over 2,600 students will receive two pencils each, 768 children will receive pencils, sharpeners and pens. Extras will go to the Community Mission of Hope and the St Vincent de Paul Society. “Every Child’s Dream Foundation, a passion that comes from a very deep place,” said Terani. Terani’s life story as an abandoned baby, adopted and abused child, supermodel, and now role model moved the AL volunteers. “I got lucky,” said Terani, “a local sheriff rescued me and brought me to an orphanage where I stayed for two and a half years. I shared a rusty metal crib with four other abandoned babies. We ate porridge and were hosed down for cleaning. After two and a half years there, I was adopted and brought to the United States, but it didn’t work out. I was abused. I went from one purgatory to another and finally left home at age 13.” Terani became an international supermodel for over 20 years. In the U.S., she has been featured in Sports Illustrated as well as Time magazine. But it was not the fulfilling lifestyle generally perceived. “Not only did I find no reward in modeling for myself, I also found it provided little benefit for others as well. I knew there had to be more

to life,” she said Just months after leaving her successful modeling career, Terani, also a gifted athlete, broke several world records and is currently a five-time Guinness World Record Holder in “Soccer Ball Control.” She was featured on NBC’s Today Show and soon thereafter was selected to be the United Nations Special Envoy for International Youth Soccer, a position she has held for 10 years. Terani is also the creator of the No. 1 best-selling soccer training DVD on Amazon, the “TNT Soccer Training System” for children, parents and coaches. She has also created the “TNT Touch” Soccer Ball and soon to be released Athlete Flash cards. She has trained and mentored tens of thousands of children, including an impressive list of celebrity clients that include race car drivers and pro football players, worldwide for the past 10 years. But even with all that success and fame, Terani still longed for a missing part of her life, her family. She felt ashamed to be an orphan, denying it and lying about it for years. She quickly realized that all abandoned and orphaned babies, once grown, will have a similar journey and need. Terani’s journey toward healing led her to start Every Child’s Dream Foundation to provide emotional, financial and physical support for the 300 million orphaned and abandoned children in the world. The organization also provides support to families, babies and children for disaster relief, emergency and traumatic situations. She started with teddy bears and blankets handmade by senior groups. Terani hopes that her foundation and her life story will help and in-

spire and liberate others, especially the millions of orphaned and abandoned and adopted. She is dedicated to helping others accept who they are and where they came from and to believe they can achieve great things in their lives. Terani’s ECD Foundation does no selling. Terani writes grant letters to companies for product, not for money. Among her biggest donors are Gymboree as well as K.I.D.S/ Fashion Delivers. The organization Kids In Distress Situations was founded in 1985. Fashion Delivers was created by adult apparel and fashion designers in 2005. The two merged in 2014 to better serve families in need, fighting “poverty and tragedies through the gift of new products, including apparel, accessories, shoes, home furnishings, toys, books, school supplies and other items.” Terani has partnered with these organizations to distribute the products worldwide. “Donations go directly from me to a cause,” said Terani. As of 2016, ECD has provided care packages to orphaned and abandoned babies and children through schools, hospitals, clinics, and other organizations to every state in the nation and in 92 countries around the world. “I have dedicated myself to a life of giving,” said Terani, “and I am looking for other like-minded and fiscally responsible organizations to help me help children. With the work they have been doing in local communities, the Assistance League of Temecula Valley will be a great distribution partner.” The Assistance League of Temecula Valley, one of 120 chapters in the United States, is an all-volunteer organization and has been serving local communities for over 26 years. The Assistance League of Temecula Valley was chartered in 1992 and is a nonprofit, nonsectarian, nonpolitical organization dedicated to serving the needs of families in southwest Riverside County. Last year chapter members volunteered over 31,000 hours of community service on behalf of local families in need. Their eight major philanthropic programs are completely self-funded through grants, fundraising events, community and business donations, and sales from their thrift shop. Their programs provide teddy bears for hospitalized, injured or traumatized children; goods and services for emergency situations; evening gowns for underprivileged students for formal events; duffle bags of essentials for foster youth and emancipated youths in transition; scholarships for students and teacher enrichment programs; new clothing for qualified K-12 students; financial literacy classes for targeted youths; and partnerships with other nonprofits to provide needed community services. Just last week, Terani made her second donation trip to Temecula – $22,000 of Babies and Children’s clothing – for the Assistance League Foster Care program. The donation is sponsored by Every Child’s Dream Foundation and K.I.D.S. Foundation in New York. “We look forward to an ongoing and growing relationship with Every Child’s Dream Foundation,” said Shaktman, “together we can impact the lives of many children!”

Manzanita Ranch conducts Texas Hold’em and Bunco for Heroes event Tony Ault WRITER

A call to “Feed the Horses” at Manzanita Ranch went out Saturday, May 7, bringing more than 50 area real estate agents, veterans and businessmen at a gallop to the Texas Hold’em and Bunco for Heroes benefit held at the Murrieta Southwest Riverside County Association of REALTORS. Manzanita Ranch in Anza, managed by John and Jill Roberts, has a mission to provide therapy horses for veterans and other persons suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome. The Ranch boards up to 10 horses friendly to those who come for the day to visit and take a ride along the Pacific Crest Trail near the ranch. The special event at the SRCAR headquarters offered those attending an opportunity to win special prizes and participate in a silent auction and raffle with more than 30 other donated prizes. The winner of the Hold’em tournament walked away with a 55 inch Roku Smart TV and the Bunco players could win a wine rack and wine, a case of fine chardonnay wine and a wine and painting class.

Concentration on the ‘flop’ is the word for these Texas Hold’em and Bunco for Heroes fun poker players at the event to help Manzanita Ranch. The 55-inch TV set went to the winner of the special fundraising event. The donations from the event will help feed the ranch’s therapy horses.

their struggles from a positive point of view,” he said. At the Texas Hold’em and Bunco event Roberts told the players stories about some of the men and women suffering from PTSD who have spent the day at the ranch with the horses and what it meant to them. For some of the veterans the ranch is like a second home for them and they regularly come to comb and feed the horses like they were part of their own family. Roberts said about 90 percent of those coming to the ranch are veterans having served in many campaigns from Vietnam to Afghanistan, all suffering from experiences they try to forget. The day at the ranch is a time they can remember with a

Aug. 1 is deadline to file with Riverside County for unclaimed property-tax refunds RIVERRSIDE – People who own residential or business property in Riverside County have until Aug. 1 to file for unclaimed property-tax refunds. Board of Supervisors Chairman John J. Benoit and Treasurer-Tax Collector Don Kent issued the reminder to give taxpayers sufficient time to file for refunds and not be caught short by the deadline. Filing instructions and a list of all unclaimed property-tax refunds from tax year 2011 and prior are available on the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s website at www.countytreasurer. org/TaxCollector/UnclaimedMoney/ PropertyTaxUnclaimedRefund.aspx. Kent said 760 refunds totaling $1,364,044.79 remain unclaimed. Most refunds stem from valuation reductions by the county Assessor

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

program, called the One Good Day Project, provides a full day experience to disabled veterans, first responders, cancer patients and survivors and at-risk youth. “Our clients experience an emotional bond with the horse,” John Roberts said. “Our horses are all calm and well-trained. Once our guests feed a horse a carrot, brush their coats or learn to clean hooves they relax and they focus on the horse and the relationship that quickly develops. “Whatever is troubling them, whatever the root of their pain, these big beautiful creatures have a very unique ability to help others escape for a few hours. Our hope is that they develop a new perspective and face

happy heart. Veterans and those who suffer from PTSD are welcome to call the ranch at (951) 526-6771 as well as those who wish to help the ranch in its mission. Appointments are made for the day for the veteran and their caregivers. They learn to care for their horse and if they are able, take a ride along the scenic Pacific Crest Trail.

Community Supports Michelle’s Place 15-Year Anniversary at Spring Fling

Michelle’s Place acknowledged the Watson family on the 15th anniversary of the women’s cancer resource center. (front row, left to right): Kathleen Taylor, Bill Watson, Marilyn Watson, Lelani Eazell, George Eazell, Amy Watson. (back row): Kim Goodnough, Wayne Watson.

Paul Bandong STAFF WRITER

Over 250 community citizens dressed in pink and black finery contrasted sharply with the F-4 Navy fighter jet and the Bell UH-1B Huey Army helicopter on display at the Wings & Rotors Air Museum in Hanger 31 at the French Valley Airport Saturday, May 7. The aircraft reminded all of the Vietnam War and a battle against an almost invisible but deadly enemy who could attack anywhere at any time in the jungle terrain. Similarly, the “Pink & Black Spring Fling” commemorated the battle that Michelle’s Place has been waging for 15 years to provide support and resources for women fighting breast cancer, which can also strike surprisingly and indiscriminately. According to the American Cancer Society, every two minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer; one out of eight women will receive that diagnosis. And it’s just not an older woman’s disease. More than 250,000 women under 40 in the U.S. live with a breast cancer diagnosis and another 13,000 will be diagnosed this year. Every 13 minutes, a woman in the U.S. loses her life to breast cancer. Over 40,000 women will die of the disease this year. Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center and foundation is the fulfillment of one woman’s dying wish that no woman should have to go through fighting breast cancer alone. Michelle Watson was diagnosed with breast cancer at 23 years old and quickly found that there was no support offered locally to understand the diagnosis and no resources to educate her on options and no one to help her through the process. Today, the foundation started in her name provides all those things to residents of Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Her parents, Bill and Marilyn Watson – celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this year – have been instrumental in helping to fulfill their daughter’s wish to help other women diagnosed with breast cancer. The Watson family have all been involved in making the dream a reality. In an address to the crowd, Wayne Watson, son of Bill and Marilyn Watson, credited his parents for their commitment, the staff for their dedication and care, and the survivors for their courage to tell their stories. “Thanks also to all of you; without your support and commitment, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do every day.” He then talked about the expanded vision and mission of Michelle’s Place for the next 15 years, “No one will face cancer

alone.” Though financial services will still be for individuals with breast cancer, the center will make its support groups, services, transportation program and Patient Navigation Program available to any one with any type of cancer. In the past year alone, over 900 women newly-diagnosed with breast cancer walked through the doors at Michelle’s Place seeking support services. Michelle’s Place provided 12,360 services including wigs, prosthetics, bras, books, seminars and tool kits for free to the community. They participated in 42 health fairs and 16 educational seminars to educate the public and 112 third-party events to raise money. Michelle’s Place provided over 175 diagnostic screenings including mammograms, biopsies, surgical consults and ultrasounds. They also provided tens of thousands of dollars in financial assistance to women going through active breast cancer treatment. More than 75 volunteers have worked a combined 6,600 hours in the center, at walks, health fairs, events and seminars and have provided 3,820 encouragement calls to women diagnosed with cancer. They have provided countless meals to women and their families when the women were too tired from chemotherapy and radiation treatment and the disease to cook, prepare and serve the meals. They helped 325 children in those families with backpacks, school supplies and Christmas gifts. Over the past 15 years, Michelle’s Place has had over 2,400 women attend support groups and had over 675 individuals benefit from Pink Ribbon Assistance programs. They have paid for over 3800 diagnostic services and given out 250 coupons for screening mammograms and ultrasounds. The organization has made over 2,300 Navigation referrals and over 6,700 behavioral health referrals to outside areas. In that time, Michelle’s Place has given out over 1700 free wigs, 420 lymphedema sleeves, over 1200 free bras, 1350 free scarves and hats, over 500 tool kits, and over 850 free prosthesis. Michelle’s Place and Stater Brothers have also given out over 850 State Brothers gift cards. Volunteers have donated over 100,000 hours, made 22,000 encouragement calls and over 5,800 Navigation checkup calls. The video shown at this year’s event recounted story after story of women with breast cancer acknowledging their gratefulness for Michelle’s Place and the care, education and support they provide. Senator Jeff Stone also sent a video message congratulating Michelle’s Place on their 15th anniversary. Executive Director Kim Good-

nough was acknowledged as the first employee of Michelle’s Place in 2003. “This is more than a job, it has become a part of my family and my life. You all have supported me, no matter how crazy the idea. On behalf of everyone we serve, I thank you deeply. If you could look into their eyes and see the fear change into trust and look into their hearts and feel the despair change into hope, then you know we are making a difference. Thank you all so much for your support.” The live auction, and Fund-ANeed conducted by fundraising specialist Darren Deiss, grossed

over $40,000. The first item – a $20 bill – sold for $600. And the winner gave it back. Other live auction items included a San Diego getaway in Mission Beach, a dinner party for thirty persons catered by Southfork, a helicopter adventure aboard a Vietnam-era Huey helicopter, a weekend at South Coast Winery, a landscape architecture consultation, and a vacation getaway to Cabo San Lucas. In the Fund-A-Need segment, Diess emphasized that “$82 would pay for a mammogram, $75 would pay for an ultrasound and $20 would provide meals for a day

for a family of four.” The crowd responded generously. Overall totals for the event are still being tallied and donations are still being accepted online at www. michellesplace.org. The battle against cancer wages on but for those women facing a breast cancer diagnosis there is now help locally – support, education and resources – because of one woman’s dying wish to help others, a family committed to fulfill that wish, staff and volunteers who care deeply, and a community who generously supports Michelle’s Place.

Chaparral Student, Katherine Haro, receives $180,000 ROTC scholarship

Katherine Haro (center) celebrates her scholarship award with Executive Officer Captain Zeigler and Staff Sgt. Clark. Lt. Col. Paul Bishop photo

Raevyn Walker VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Katherine Haro, a senior at Chaparral High, remembers April 4 as the day she scurried out of her biol-

ogy classroom, pecks of teardrops tickling her cheeks. As soon as she got in the restroom, Haro called her recruiter to tell her the news. The Navy Junior ROTC selected Haro to receive $180,000 toward

her college education, which she plans to use at the University of Washington, Tacoma and then join the Marines. “I remember getting an email and I looked and I couldn’t believe it,” Haro said. “I was dancing around and just crying because I was so relieved and so happy.” The selection committee went through an extensive process to evaluate applicants. This included a plethora of essays, five letters of recommendation, interviews with officers and a physical fitness test. Haro stood on top in all categories, even physical fitness, which Haro identified as the aspect that “is not my strong suit.” “The physical fitness was definitely a challenge,” she said. “You have to have a strong mentality. You have to continue to run and tell yourself that you can, you can achieve more ... Keep reaching to the skies for that.” One of Haro’s Navy Junior ROTC instructors, Stephen McGovern, knows that Haro has more than overcome her struggle, calling her “a standout in physical fitness” among other attributes. “She is a natural leader,” McGovern said. “The cool thing about her getting this scholarship is that she is one of the few girls in the service. The girls in our NJROTC program are role models and she is the best one of them. There are not a lot of women in the military, so a lot of females are going to look up to Katherine and follow in her

footsteps.” For Haro, being a female and acquiring the scholarship serves as a testament of the possibilities that do await females in the military. “Many women don’t the view the military as an option because it is male-dominated,” she said, “but to me, getting this scholarship was breaking through the glass ceiling. I want to show other women that they can do this too.” Haro added that although she has not experienced mistreatment at the high school level as at Chaparral “all of the cadets are very respectful,” she recognizes that females must hold themselves differently in the real world to acquire respect. No amount of social struggles can keep Haro from her love of NJROTC, though. After joining in her freshman year in her older brother’s footsteps, Haro never left, continuing to advance to the Command Master Chief position, even after moving to Chaparral High the summer before her junior year. “Something I enjoyed the most was probably the fact that when I first began, I was very nervous and scared to take command of anything,” she said. “But, over the years, NJROTC really develops you into a strong leader, builds your communication skills, and builds relationships ... In NJROTC, you can lead people, have them do things they never thought they could do, and build confidence within them.” “The great thing about my job is that I see these kids and I know the

ones that are driven,” said McGovern. “They are mature way beyond the normal level. I know that they have a bright future. And Katherine is one of those students.” Accomplishments come at the hands of not only the receiver, but also strong support group. Haro recognizes that she could not have reached the victory without this support of her family, friends and teachers, especially her NJROTC instructor, Staff Sergeant Clark. “Staff Sergeant Clark pushed me and motivated me every single day,” said Haro. “He just made me believe in myself in ways that I never could.” Haro contributes her faith in God as the main source of her success, which helped her conquer her obstacles. “The man who was behind this the most was God,” Haro said. “Throughout my journey, through having a lot of faith and believing, I continued to achieve.” Taking this first step into her lifetime goal of joining the Marines has fulfilled all of Haro’s desires. Still, she believes that the time calls for celebration, but “you can’t celebrate for the rest of your life.” Haro said, “I am excited that this whole chapter of high school and everything that I have been through in my life is finally equating to something that I have always wanted, something greater than myself. I don’t know what the future holds just yet, but I know that am going to be working every second of it.”

Two Virtual Enterprise teams, Trifecta and Nocogo competed in the National Business Plan competition in New York last week with Trifecta placing third in nation. The team’s placement ws the best finish ever for a Murrieta school. The competition included 30 teams from across the country and was “very stiff,” according to Virtual Enterprise Coordinator Joel Levin from Murrieta Valley High School. “After two preliminary rounds, which then narrowed the field to the top 16, both teams made the top 16,” Levin said. “They were both awesome in their preliminary round, However, when the field was narrowed to the top 6 finalists, Trifecta was chosen for the top 6, but Nocogo was not.” The finals were held in a large auditorium at Long Island University in Brooklyn, where students presented in front of a panel of 6 distinguished judges, as well as a few hundred people in the audience. “The Trifecta team was outstanding,” Levin said. “As we watched all of the final presentations, it was obvious that this would be a difficult decision for the judges, as all of the teams were excellent. It was even more evident how much of an honor it was to make the finals.” The winners were announced after a two-day wait at the trade show that followed the competition. “We are all very excited and proud of both teams, and congratulations to the Trifecta team of Stephanie Machuca, Hannah Adams, Hannah Paysse, Erika Barsby, and Danny Baerman for their top 3 finish,” said Levin. “Congratulations also to the “Nocogo” team of Matthew Betz, Connor Campbell, Kathy Kong, and Jordan Sellars on their excellent showing.” Students dedicated hundreds of hours to this project beginning in September, according to Levin. “This was the culminating activity,” he said. “They are all truly remarkable!”

Lorimar Vineyards & Winery

for perfect food wine Pairings in Temecula wine country Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Lorimar Vineyards and Winery continues to be a fusion of wine, art, music and now food with the Pairings food truck available on weekends. Their award winning wine is available for tasting inside, outside on the glorious patio, or enjoyed by the glass in delicious harmony with Pairings well rounded menu. Coming this summer to Temecula Valley Wine Country, musical acts and outdoor movie series round out the Lorimar Vineyards and Winery experience making this an ideal stop for entertainment. When you come to Lorimar Vineyards and Winery, the air is filled with music. Owners Lawrie Lipton and Mark Manfield continue to grow and change their wine country location to accommodate the guests that flock to this destination. “We will continue to have live music on our Sunset Patio all summer long,” Manfield, said. “We feature local bands and musicians every Friday, Saturday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. We also have some special events including a Cigar Night, Movie in the Vines and more.” Upcoming events include the sounds of local favorites, Lifetime Rocker, the Mercedes Moore Band, Missy Andersen, Shoot for Tuesday, Mrs. Jones’ Revenge and Kanan Road, Bodie and On the House. Outdoor Movie in the Vines nights are another way to enjoy the late evenings under the stars, a world away from the city. Bring friends and family, and check the ratings to make sure the showings are appropriate for the little ones before heading out to these events. Now available at Lorimar Vineyards and Winery, Pairings – perfectly paired for wine – food truck is serving food Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Hours for

food truck fare start at 12 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday night. Sundays the truck shuts down at 4:30 p.m. “The opening of Pairings is a longtime dream and we are thrilled that it has finally come true,” Manfield said. “Our Tuscan style winery, award winning wines, and now Pairings creates the fusion of wine, art, music and food that we have always wanted.” Lorimar’s wine story is easily told with their extensive wine notes. The winemaker suggests food pairings to go with each wine, and gives subtle hints as to what you’ll experience in each glass. Extend your enjoyment of the stunning cabernet, the lyrical flavors of 2012 Allegro merlot, winemaker Marshall Stuart’s 2012 Quintet red wine blend, or the 2012 Lydian Cabernet Franc—perfect for patio lounging. If you’re lucky, Penny Delgado will be behind the bar pouring with her Sommelier in training, descriptions of the region, varietals as well as soil and temperature variations all which work together in telling the story of the amazing estate grown Lorimar Vineyards wine. A taste of the 2014 chardonnay will spoil you, with the bright green apple and hints of oak and vanilla, but if you are a red fan, perhaps you will be lucky enough to taste the 2012 Solo cabernet sauvignon. This limited release is a multiple award winner and worth every penny. The award winning wine is almost sold out, according to winemaker Marshall Stuart. The single use oak barrel of the 2012 is amazing in mouthfeel and cabernet flavor, the Solo is an award winner for a reason. “Our wine club members love the 2012 Reserve Cab,” Stuart said. “The tasting room is currently pouring a 2013 cabernet sauvignon blend, made with petite Sirah, which won a gold medal at the San Francisco

Lorimar Vineyards and Winery’s estate bottled wine is showcased against a sunset backdrop. Courtesy photos This Temecula Valley Wine Country winery is the ideal location for lovers of music, art, wine and food. Chronicle Wine Competition. We are really looking forward to releasing the new 2013 cabernet sauvignon later this year.” Pairings food truck dining provides ideal service for the fun, easy, delectable wine country dining. Depending on your mood, choose a sharable dish from $5 to $20 per item. Fries, with options of salt and vinegar, to spicy Cajun are tantalizing and crisp. The Parm and Applewood Bacon or Truffle fries will have you coming back for more. Order them on their own, or served with the Kobe ‘BLT’ Burger – eight ounces of Kobe beef, tomato, Canadian bacon, lettuce, sharp English cheddar on a challah bun with aioli, which happens to pair perfectly with the

2012 Meritage. Each item on the Pairings menu pairs perfectly with a wine from Lorimar Vineyard and Winery’s extensive wine tasting menu. Discover exactly what a well paired wine and dish will do for your palate and enjoy some of the best of the area’s entertainment while you’re noshing. If you are looking for something lighter than the hearty burgers in the Pairings sandwich selections, try the salad selections with the Lorimar Bleu – romaine lettuce with bacon, candied pecans, julienne carrots, blue cheese and green onion served with the house vinaigrette. This winner of a salad is ideally paired with the 2014 Vineyard Blend, or the 2014 Grenache Blanc. “The menu changes but we don’t touch the staples that the wine club members have come to know and love. The Kobe Burger, the goat and fig flatbread and the french fries are a hit and keep the guests coming back,” Manfield said. “Each dish is prepared with one of our wines, red, white or sometimes both. We switch it up when new varietals and vintages come in and as the wines change.” When you visit Lorimar Vineyard and Winery, you will notice changes in the works, including an upgrade to the Sunset Patio. Lorimar’s owners, management and staff expect completions to the outdoor patio by mid-summer. New tables and chairs have already made their

appearance, heralding changes to come. “Our visitors can expect more new seating areas, heaters for winter (or cool southern California evenings), misters and fans for summer, and more shade for our guests,” General Manager Ralph Taylor said. “We are also repositioning our food truck as part of the changes. This will hopefully allow us to seta an extra 50 people on our winery patio.” To the delight of guests, Lorimar continues to be the location in wine country to take in the full cultural experience that Temecula Valley Wine Country has to offer. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the crisp, cool wines of Lorimar Vineyard and Winery, according to winemaker Stuart. “ Fo r t h e s u m m e r, m y t w o recommendations would be the 2015 Roussanne, which has notes of peach, apricot, stonefruit and pairs perfectly with salad, salmon and cheeses like baked brie,” Stuart said. “The second would be the 2015 white merlot, which is known around the Temecula Valley as a ‘Hot Tub Wine’ and is great for sitting outside on a hot summer day.” “At Lorimar Winery, our goal is to create a memory,” Manfield said, summing up the Lorimar experience. “We want our guests to look back on their time here with a smile, and hold those memories close to their heart.”

Supervisors approve rezone, use permit, noise variance for Mount Palomar Winery Joe Naiman Writer The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has approved a rezone, conditional use permit, and noise ordinance exception for Mount Palomar Winery. The supervisors approved the winer y on a 3-0 vote April 5. Marion Ashley, John Benoit, and Kevin Jeffries provided the votes for passage. Chuck Washington abstained and John Tavaglione was absent.

The 409.2-acre property is north of Rancho California Road, west of Calle Contrento, and east of La Serena Way. The rezone covers 318.8 acres whose zoning will change from Citrus/Vineyard to Wine Countr y - Winer y. The conditional use permit will allow for a 90.4-acre Class VI winery which will include a hotel, spa, tasting room, restaurant, wedding pavilion, retail uses, dedicated cottages and villas, events center, and amphitheater as well as a winery. An existing Mount Palomar

Winery sales room and restroom buildings were permitted in 1977 with additional retail space, storage, and other additions approved in 1989. In 2010 an additional plot plan for the property was approved, although nothing has been constructed. The new permit will allow for the formal main entrance to Mount Palomar Winery to be relocated to approximately 320 southwest of its current location while a service road will be constructed along the eastern boundary. The amphitheater has a limit of 52

concerts per year, and the Wine Country - Winery zoning requires a noise ordinance exemption for outdoor amplified sounds. A noise study was submitted which includes project design features and operational mitigation measures to ensure that the noise from the amphitheater complies with the Wine Country Community Plan noise level requirements. The requirements include a decibel meter device in the amphitheater’s sound board room and for staff to monitor the noise level continually and to

adjust the volume if necessary, and all concerts must end by 10 p.m. The noise exemption does not apply to the rest of the project site and thus will not allow amplified sound for conventions, weddings, banquets or other special events. A height variance was also granted to provide a 124-foothigh structure resembling a bell tower toward the middle of the property. Since that structure will be within a valley it will be only slightly visible from Rancho California Road.

Find your roots at Baba Joons Kitchen and Fazeli Cellars Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer Temecula Valley Wine Country’s Fazeli Cellars is inspired by the traditions of Persia, and rooted in the modern expressions of California. Baba Joon’s Kitchen at Fazeli Cellars in wine country offers unique flavors along with stellar wine tasting. The experience of tasting wine is paired neatly with a delicious menu at affordable dining prices. Baba Joon’s kitchen allows visitors the opportunity to taste and enjoy kitchen specials each week with their inventive menu. The kitchen is open from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily, featuring inventive menu items with the typical Fazeli Cellars flair. Keep up with the menu options through Fazeli Cellar ’s Facebook page. Diners can order food to enjoy with the Fazeli Cellars wine, and stay to enjoy the relaxed wine

country view and sparkling sun on the grape leaves. Owner B.J. Fazeli fell in love with the land and the property, and invites all to his heart and his family at Fazeli winery. “Some people say, I don’t drink wine, and I say you don’t drink wine, you experience wine,” he said. “We are proud of what we are producing in Temecula. It’s a hidden jewel.” Baba Joon’s menu is perfect for wine tasting, with flatbreads, kabobs and sandwiches. A must order is the fava bean hummus, served with grilled pita bread, which showcases the location and the Middle Eastern flavors available here. Other items, such as the Dolma grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs, served with cucumber yogurt and shirazi salad are a feast for the senses. Don’t forget to save room for the baghlava—traditional phyllo pastry, filled with chopped walnuts and drizzled with honey.

Baba Joon’s kitchen offers weekend specials, such as their beef and vegetable soup pair neatly with the arugula and heirloom tomato salad or a chicken, BLT wrap with avocado, arugula, bacon, sundried tomato tortilla and roasted chicken. For a more main course option, watch for the saffron shrimp flatbread, highly sharable and delicious with the heady spice. Salads, Kabobs and sandwiches are always available, as is the Artisan Plate. Menu prices are reasonable for Temecula Valley Wine Country. Dessert options of the spiced peach tart, made with a Riesling reduction and whipped cream is a fantastic way to enjoy along with Fazeli Cellars wine. Come, order lunch, and enjoy the live music at Fazeli Cellars on Saturdays and Sundays. For more information, visit www.FazeliCellars.com.

Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival flies high with top concerts, wines, cuisine and fun TEMECULA – Uncorking a three-day weekend of the finest sights, sounds and tastes the Temecula Valley offers, the 33rd Annual Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival flies high May 20-22 with top rock, alternative rock and country bands in concert, a spectrum of iridescent colorful hot air balloons during dawn launches and evening balloon glows and tasty sensations for the most persnickety palate. Held at Lake Skinner Recreational Area, the festival highlights Southern California’s fine wine region with wine tasting, food and wine pairings with gourmet cuisine. Not to be outdone, the local growing microbrew industry offers microbrew and craft brews, while food and beer pairings teach guests to cook with beer as an ingredient. Main Stage Concerts at the Festival include Phil Vassar and Parmalee Friday night, Jimmy Eat World, Neon Trees and Chalk FarM Saturday and Rodney Atkins and Kristian Bush Sunday. The Wine Garden stage features local bands that competed on IHeart Radio’s Local Rising Stars contest for a spot at the Festival, and other regional acts. Los Angeles Dance Party DJs Pasho and Orion create the party atmosphere after Friday and Saturday night’s balloon glows. Sunday in the Wine Gardens features a tribute to The Eagles by the band Hotel California. Vassar’s musical career includes eight albums, two ASCAP Songwriter of the Year trophies, Billboard Country Songwriter of the Year, countless hits as a singer and songwriter and a mantle full of awards. Known for the hits “Carlene,” “Last Day of My Life,” “American Child ” Vassar topped the charts with “In A Real Love” and the perennial favorite “Just Another Day in Paradise.” Parmalee, a Country Rock band hailing from North Carolina, took their name from the tiny, southern

town of Parmele, North Carolina. The band’s debut single, “Musta Had A Good Time,” was No. 1 for four-consecutive weeks on SiriusXM’s The Highway “Hot 30 LIVE” countdown. Their album, “Feels Like Carolina,” earned critical praise from “People” magazine, “USA Today,” and “Billboard.” Parmalee made recording history when “Carolina” became the longest climbing single by a duo or group in the 24-year history of the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. Cosmic Cosplay spices up the ever-popular Friday evening Balloon Glow. A 30-minute show (illuminated and anchored), these hot air balloons glow to the musical beats of “Star Wars,” “Star Trek” and beyond. This is an interactive event where the crowd cheers and pleas for the “glow” while balloons appear to dance to the beat. Cosplay characters will be dressed in everything from Storm Troopers to Klingons, and Ewoks to Aliens. Up to 200 pre-registered Cosplay participants are expected. Los Angeles Deejay Pasha packs high energy into the dance party after the “glow” using his own blend of party tune mixes. Saturday and Sunday mornings feature the mass hot air balloon launch from the Festival. Get there by 6 a.m. to see these graceful giants ascend as hot air balloons can only fly in the early mornings, with low winds and high visibility. Saturday’s music includes Jimmy Eat World, Neon Trees, Chalk FarM and Meesha Black. Jimmy Eat World, (alternative/rock), is fresh from the studio cutting a new album and headlining the Festival’s Main Stage Saturday. The group made their breakthrough in 2001 with the platinum-selling album “Bleed American,” spawning four top hits and No. 1 on the charts with “The Middle.” The single was featured on video games “Rock Band 2” and “Guitar Hero World Tour.” Their sixth album, “Chase This

Light” became the groups highest charting album, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Neon Trees, a band formed by Murrieta neighbors Tyler Glenn and Chris Allan, is best known for their melodic rock tunes that crossover to pop. They first broke into the charts in 2010 with the hit songs “Animal” and “1983” from the album “Habits.” Their 2012 album produced hits “Everybody Talks” and “Lessons in Love.” “Sleeping With a Friend,” from the 2014 album “Pop Psychology” earned the group a Radio Industry Association of America Gold. Platinum-selling Rodney Atkins headlines the Festival’s Country Funday Sunday. Atkins has a string of hits including the 2012 BMI Song of the Year “Take A Back Road,” and the most played 2006 Song of the Year “These Are My People.” His No.1 hit “Cleaning This Gun,” off the album “If You’re Going Through Hell,” was featured in the movie “The Bourne Legacy.” Sunday also features special guest Kristian Bush, one-half of platinumselling country duo Sugarland. Bush has left his mark on music for more than two decades. His debut solo album, “Southern Gravity,” released in April 2015, featured the Top 20 single “Trailer Hitch.” As Sugarland, Bush’s awards include 2009-11 CMA Vocal Duo of the Year, 2011 CMT Music Awards Duo Video of the Year “Stuck Like Glue,” and 2009 Grammy Awards Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group, “Stay.” The Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival is produced by a nonprofit association in the heart of Temecula Valley Wine Country. Sponsored by the City of Temecula, Economic Development Agency of Riverside, and Riverside County Parks, the Festival offers guests the opportunity to sample from up to 20 Southern California Wine Country wineries while experiencing the splendor of blue skies,

gentle breezes and the beauty of Lake Skinner which is surrounded by a multi-species reserve. For information and schedules visit www.tvbwf.com or call (951)

MSJC 5th Annual Recycled Art & Fashion Show May 13 TEMECULA – Mount San Jacinto College will present its 2016 Recycled Art & Fashion Show May 13 from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at the Monte De Oro Winery & Vineyards in Temecula. The winery is located at 35820 Rancho California Road. The anual art and fashion show supports the arts and arts education, raises environmental awareness and promotes wildly creative, ecofriendly alternative art and fashion, hand-crafted from repurposed and discarded materials. Partial proceeds benefit the Mount San Jacinto College Art Department. The annual gallery exhibition and runway event, now in its fifth year, was inspired by International Earth Day. It brings together established, professional artists and talented middle school through college-level art students creating a rich range of designers, collaborators and mentors. Art students present their artworks and learn from regional designers and artists in a professional, competitive venue. Work is pre-judged for inclusion by the Event Planning Committee. At the event, a panel of five outside judges select winners and present awards. The fashion show models represent a spectrum of ‘real’ body-

types. Young and old models, couples, family groups, theatrical and dance performers and southwest California pageant titleholders will traverse the runway, according to Jane Laskin, show director. Fashion designs are selected based on innovative use of recycled material, expression of humanitarian and ecological statements, craftsmanship, transformation of the model and original design. The gallery and runway events present highly expressive, unusual and beautiful art and fashion. The Recycled Art & Fashion Show promotes designs inspired by, but not limited to; current issues and events, ceremonial costumes and global, ethnic traditions and futuristic sci-fi visions. A respected pillar in the community, and now celebrating over 25 years in the valley, Laskin has played an active role shaping the culture and improving the quality of life in Temecula, donating her time to promote various nonprofit groups including events with the Rotary and Elks Clubs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Dorland, Oak Grove and many other Arts groups, councils and leagues.

JDS Creative Academy brings arts programs to the community TEMECULA – The nonprofit JDS Creative Academy is gearing up with a full slate of innovative visual and performing arts classes for children and teens. There are two summer camps June 13 through 24, a Script-toStage Camp, where students use improv techniques to write and stage an original play and a Backstage Camp where students learn techniques such as costuming, props, make up and set design. There is a live performance Friday, June 24, at the camp. “We offered these camps last year and they were such a hit, we decided to bring them back.” Diane Strand, Founder of JDSCA said. “With one camp in the morning and the other in the afternoon, kids can spend the whole day immersed in the theater arts, or they can opt to just take one or the other.” In fall 2016, JDSCA will have their full slate semester of classes

in acting, stage combat, writing, video production, fine art, musical art and Claymation. They also bring the arts to those who might not experience an arts education any other way. Currently, JDSCA is teaching a special program in acting and drawing to the foster children at Rancho Damacitas Children & Family Services. Founded only two years ago, JDSCA has been awarded with prestigious grants courtesy of 3rd District Supervisor Chuck Washington, the Roripaugh Foundation and the Canet Foundation in order to expand their programs, purchase start of the art equipment and offer scholarships to students in need. JDS Creative Academy is located at 28069 Diaz Road, Suites D&E, in Temecula.

First Murrieta Arts Walk huge success

Tory Wadlington WRITER

It couldn’t be any more aweinspiring. April 28, a day when Murrieta was expecting gray skies

and cold rain, but instead were treated to lively music, vibrant colors and excited locals. The Murrieta Arts Council, a new community organization, held an Earth Day Art Walk in Old

Town Murrieta. This was their first official event. Locals and visitors who were in the area stopped by to check out the various paintings and sculptures, chat with the artists and even grab delicious Scottish shortbread from McLaren’s Caravan. Word quickly spread of the event. Soon Washington Avenue was crowded with lovers of art and curious citizens. The art ranged from paintings of landscapes, to a newly invented spray paint style called space-scapes, which is a barrage of loud colors coming together to show the beauty and complexity of the universe. “It just screams character,” said the artist, “space is like liquid, so I imagine it to be this vast ocean.” Other unique styles included acrylic paintings of celebrities, custom portraits of families and beloved dogs and hand-carved aluminum paintings that mesmerized people so much it seemed

This first event was a call for all local artists and lovers of the arts to come out and support their city, showcase their talent and help a neighbor get theirs noticed. Inland Empire citizens can look forward to the Murrieta Arts Council’s next event June 14. It will be a community forum on the arts. Everyone is invited to the discussion of art and culture. It is an opportunity to come together to find out what the city has to work with, and what they can to work toward. For more information visit the official website at www. MurrietaArts.Org, where visitors can sign up for the newsletter. “To enhance arts and culture in Murrieta, encourage the achievement of artistic excellence, and support community-based events to provide art & cultural experiences to the residents of Murrieta Valley.” -Murrieta Arts Council

they had to force themselves to walk away from the presentation. One artist generating a lot of popularity was Eric Yandell, who uses cardboard to make trees and other designs, framed by fenceboard that shows “grace and necessity.” Being inspired by a biblical scripture, Yandell said he uses his gift to reach people. For the Murrieta Arts Council’s first official event, the people that came said it was very rewarding. Murrieta citizens say they are looking forward to the next time they can watch others express themselves while gaining a new found appreciation for the arts. All the paintings, carefully constructed sculptures and the bands that performed, were just the tip of the iceberg for what the Murrieta Arts Council has planned for the Gem of the Valley. Open mic nights, concerts, dance shows and live theater, the sky will be the limit, council members say.

HS Baseball: Rams seize first ever Southwestern League Title

Murrieta Mesa secured their first ever Southwestern League championship after a convincing 16-5 victory over Chaparral Tuesday, May 10.

Alicia Salcedo photo

JP Raineri Sports Editor

It’s been seven years since the Murrieta Mesa baseball program first took the field here in the valley and for six years they have been labeled the underdog, but this year, after a crushing 16-5 victory over Chaparral (7-15, 4-10) Tuesday, May 10, it’s officially the Year of the Ram. Though they punched their ticket to the postseason four games ago, Murrieta Mesa (21-7, 11-3) needed to find themselves after dropping three straight games over the past week and a half. Vista Murrieta, the defending Southwestern League champs, were the first to take down the red-hot Rams, who had won 10 straight games before being downed 3-2 in a nail biter April 28 by the Broncos. Enter Great Oak, who made things a bit rocky for the Rams taking two games away from them last week, making the Wolfpack the only Southwestern League opponent to win a series against Murrieta Mesa this year. The two wins moved Great Oak (16-13, 9-5) within one game in the standings as the top three teams, including Vista Murrieta, headed into the final week of regular season play. With two games to go in the regular season, Murrieta Mesa, who was still one game in front, needed two things to happen in order to clinch their first ever Southwestern League Championship title. The Rams needed to either win their last two games outright, or win their first of two final games against Chaparral and hope Murrieta Valley could knock Great Oak back one game as a spoiler, which is exactly what happened Tuesday, May 10.

run in the bottom of the second, but Rams senior, Brad Prebay, would score in the second inning to put the score at 4-2 as a barrage of hits ensued. Austen Salcedo tripled in the third, Zac Filos knocked him in, Caiden Matkins doubled to score Filos and the hits just kept coming as the Rams were up 6-5 once the inning was over, though Chaparral did keep the game close early on. By the end of the fourth inning the score was 9-5 and Murrieta Mesa was not backing down. The Rams would score seven more runs in the next three innings as Kevin Palm, Filos, Tony Carreon and Nate Stillinovich set the table on the mound for the Rams who went with Jesse “Big Country” Robinson and Andrew Dunkel to close out the game, securing the 16-5 victory. With the win, Murrieta Mesa knew they were in at least a two way tie for the Southwestern League title after the game, but

when the news that Murrieta Valley (11-15, 7-7) took out the Wolfpack 5-1 at Great Oak High School, the cheers from the parents, fans, coaches and players on the visitors’ side at Chaparral could almost be heard throughout the valley! “I am very happy for the families who have hung in there with Mesa. Everyone in our program helped achieve this in some fashion, especially these boys who have battled many forms of adversity to get here,” says Rams head coach Bryn Wade, who also said the boys know the job is not done when asked about the post season. Just down the street, Vista Murrieta (19-10, 10-4) picked up their 10th win of the season after defeating Temecula Valley (3-20-1, 1-13) 13-5 at the Golden Bears home field, but even if the Rams’ were to drop their next game to Chaparral and even if Vista Murrieta were to win again, Murrieta Mesa still owns the tie breaker winning two of the three games played over the Broncos this season.

With one final game to go Murrieta Mesa, already in the history books now by claiming the first ever Southwestern League title for the program in the school’s short history, can add another notch to their belt with a final win, giving them the most amount of games ever won by a Southwestern League team, before the playoffs. Vista Murrieta was 22-6 overall (including the playoffs) in 2011, which is also the year the Broncos had the best Southwestern League record ever, going 13-2 under Coach Kurt Ruth. CIF-SS playoff pairings will be posted Monday, May 16, for all the top teams from the area. Game times for the final league games of the regular season take place Thursday, May 12, with start times of 3:30 p.m. Chaparral will head to Murrieta Mesa, Temecula Valley will be at Vista Murrieta and Great Oak will be on the road at Murrieta Valley. *Standings and stats provided by MaxPreps and GameChanger.

Need for more hospital beds and physicians in region reviewed at Healthcare Summit Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

Riverside County city officials, health care representatives, and business owners gathered together Thursday, May 5, in Murrieta to learn how they might improve healthcare and related economic activity in the region at the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Summit. Murrieta acted as the host for the summit presented by the Inland Coalition, Reach Out and The Convergence held at 24510 Village Walk Place, in Murrieta. The participants were called together to share ideas on how the cities in Southwest Riverside County including Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Hemet, San Jacinto, Wildomar, and Perris could attract more hospitals, physicians, nurses and other skilled medical professionals and fulfill the need for more hospital beds and healthcare in the region. Tied to this need would be an improved economic atmosphere for the residents in all the cities. Murrieta Mayor Randon Lane and City Manager Rick Dudley greeted the summit participants telling them it was not just a Murrieta event, but a regional summit. Dudley said the

Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley welcomes the more than 100 participants in the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Summit held in Murrieta May 5. Ideas on the need to bring for additional healthcare facilities and skilled medical professionals to the region were examined at the summit.

Mary Walshok, Ph.D. the associate vice chancellor for public programs and dean of extension and UCSD, was a keynote speaker at the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Summit held in Murrieta May 5 in Murrieta. Walchok is a world renowned author of innovation economy concepts.

idea for the summit was the result of a recent meeting with all the southwest county city managers and two of the guest speakers at the summit. The moderator was Diana Fox, Executive Director of Reach Out. Fox and Carol Allbaugh, M.A., Director of Inland Health Professions Coalition were the two who initially met with the managers prior to the summit. Lane reviewed the “180 degree turn” the City of Murrieta has made

in attracting hospitals and healthcare professionals since it was incorporated noting that the while entire region has benefited both in healthcare and the economy but more is needed in the region and that is why the summit was called. Dudley told the participants that there still is a critical need for increasing the number of beds and patient to doctor ratio in the southwest county. “We want to bring together top leadership to grow the healthcare and expand economic benefit with the 16,000 new healthcare jobs expected to open up in the Inland region in the coming years. It is critical that we build our own homegrown healthcare professionals locally for the students. We need to build pipelines and explore options for growing healthy cities,” Dudley said. Michael Osur, deputy director for the Riverside University Health System – public health, speaking at the summit reviewed some startling statistics about how poorly the southwest Riverside county area stands in the healthcare area even though many new hospitals and health facilities have been built in the region. Riverside County ranks 56th in healthcare out of the 57 counties in California. “We want to be higher,” Osur said. “Much higher.” He pointed out that the hospital beds per 1,000 persons nationwide, average 2.9. In the state it averages 2.1 and in Riverside County 1.7. Southwest county has only 1.4 hospital beds per 1,000, far below the averages. In addition to those statistics he said there “are not enough primary care physicians in the county, only 55 per thousand.” He said the 28 cities in the county need to find a good healthcare resolution.

Groups of city officials, businessmen, entrepreneurs and medical professionals like this discuss better ways to improve the regions healthcare and create healthier cities at the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Development Summit May 5 in Murrieta.

sociate vice chancellor for public programs and dean of extension and UCSD, and a world renowned author on innovation economy and workforce development was the keynote speaker for the summit. She provided a number of ideas for the participants to employ in helping the healthcare community grow in the region. She indicated that when the participants begin planning how to bring more healthcare professionals and facilities into the region they need to remember that “flip flops and loafers must be in the same room.” Noting the most of the innovative ideas for any projects come more from the people wearing flip flops than those wearing loafers and suits. Innovation she said is the key. “They need to be together.” “You need to create the atmosphere for medical interests.” Wolshok said. She said the southwest region has an “incredible opportunity,” to grow its healthcare economy. “I know this geography and I now this demography really well. It’s an opportunity but it’s a steep hill to climb.” “You need a new path to economic growth and it’s based on knowledge and high value added jobs and services,” she continued. “… all regions have assets they can leverage, but gaps they need to fill.”

To fill the gaps, she said “In any region you must have some center or practice and experience that will position you regionally or globally as being unique, interesting and special.” Outlining those centers, she suggested the cities have research institutions, hospitals, clinics and companies rich in entrepreneurial developments. With those she said you need “ideas, inventions, breakthroughs of new ways of solving old problems, or identification of whole new opportunities. The regions need to be ready to support those, so they can emerge, and that’s where folks like you come in to create the atmosphere and climate where a lot of activity can come out of the everyday delivery of health care.” She said the region needs to attract world class talent for its healthcare institutions and schools. “You need to have the best and brightest in the world you can find.” The need for entrepreneurs, not managers To achieve these things, she said the participants need innovations that are required by entrepreneurs, not managers. Wolshok said the cities need to be a good place to work and play and where the want to want to invest. She said the people should not want to leave the region because of the things they have available to them. Wolshok closed here speech saying the region should have global connections and a “supportive business structure.” Editor’s note; This is the first of two stories on the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Summit. The second story focusing on ideas to attract medical interests to the region and medical advancements presented by speakers Donald B. Kearns, M.D., M.M.M., president and CEO, Rady-Children’s Hospital and Health Center; Carol Allbaugh; and Kerry Heindrich, JD, CEO of Loma Linda University Medical Center, will be discussed in a story in the May 19 edition of Valley News.

Heavy metals a toxic load Dr. Laurie Blanscet SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

In today’s world we are exposed to numerous toxins on a daily basis. Heavy metals are a part of that toxic load. Some of the heavy metals are essential to our normal daily functioning, but in excess amounts they cause health problems. Other heavy metals are toxic even in the smallest amounts. Heavy metal toxicity can affect both men and women, children and adults. The heavy metals that are most commonly seen causing health problems are mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum and cadmium. Heavy metal toxicity can occur as a result of exposure in our air, water, food, medicines, products, etc. Arsenic is used in the manufacture of several pesticides; aluminum is common in cookware, antiperspirants, antacids and food cans; cadmium can be found in cigarette smoke and can be ingested in certain foods; lead is in old paint, some PVC plastics and lead pipes; and mercury has been used for dental fillings and is found in a variety of fish. This is just a small sampling of how we get exposed to heavy metals on a regular basis. Heavy metal toxicity can present in several different ways as a health problem. An acutely toxic person is usually easy to diagnose and typically gets immediate medical attention. However, if you are exposed in small amounts over time your body tends to store

the toxin in your bones, organs or fatty tissue; making the heavy metal toxicity difficult to pinpoint. The heavy metals can wreak havoc on your body slowly over time. In traditional medicine this type of heavy metal toxicity is typically overlooked. A slowly toxic individual may have an overall feeling of fatigue or malaise; a decreased sense of well-being. Neurological disorders have been the most commonly linked to heavy metal toxicities; things such as autism, Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease, neuropathy, increased irritability, headaches, etc. Other systems in the body can also be affected: the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), kidneys, gastrointestinal system (stomach and intestines), etc. What can you do? First be aware of what you are exposed to on a daily basis and take action to decrease your exposure. Here are some basic things that you can do; eat organic products, use glass cookware and storage containers, avoid food or drinks dispensed out of aluminum cans, use safe personal care and cleaning products, use a water purifier and air cleaner in your home. EWG.org is a wonderful resource regarding healthier products to use. However, toxic heavy metals are difficult to completely avoid in today’s world. Establish a regular detoxification routine to allow your body to eliminate heavy metals, and other toxins, on a regular basis. Infra-red saunas and

Epsom salt baths are a great way to detoxify through your largest detoxifying organ, your skin. Colonic hydrotherapy is a wonderful way to detoxify through your gastrointestinal system. If you want to know what heavy metal load your body currently has, get your urine tested to see where your heavy metal toxic load is at. This test should be sent to a specialty laboratory that has specific testing set up for heavy metal detection. It is best to get a first morning urine that shows what heavy metals your body excretes on a regular basis. Then, you take a chelating agent (this is a prescription) and collect your urine over a set period of time on the same day. This second urine sample shows what heavy metals are being stored in your body and if they can be pulled out with a chelating agent. Essentially, a chelating agent is administered either orally or intravenously and travels throughout the bloodstream removing toxic heavy metals. The agent grabs onto the heavy metals and allows your body to excrete the heavy metal instead of storing it. The chelating agent also neutralizes free radicals. By neutralizing free radicals, chelation therapy also acts like a very powerful antioxidant protecting our tissue and organs. Free radical damage is linked to degenerative diseases including cardiovascular disease, cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, arthritis and more. In neutralizing the free radicals and removing

damaging heavy metals, chelation therapy can potentially have a profound effect on your health status. There are many, many stories of incredible successes. Many patients have experienced a decrease in heart symptoms, a decrease in neurologic symptoms, increased focus, improved memory and energy. People who could never lose weight may even be able to lose weight since toxins are often stored in fat and occasionally a person’s body does not want to get rid of that fat because it releases the toxins. Of course, results vary

and there is never a promise to treat a particular disease. The bottom line is that heavy metals are all-around us and it is important for us all to be aware of their potential danger to our health. In today’s world it is prudent to minimize your heavy metal exposures, detoxify on a regular basis, and know what your overall toxic load is.

Prostate cancer Breakthrough TEMECULA – The prognosis for men suffering from Prostate cancer has changed momentously for the better over recent years. An estimated 2,850,139 men are living with Prostate cancer in the United States, according to recent studies. They are “lucky” victims, one might say, because of breakthroughs that may potentially allow doctors to stop the disease in its tracks, according to the

Association of Mature American Citizen. One treatment, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), for example, is reported to have a nearly 99 percent cure rate. Dr. Raquibul Hannan, assistant professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, led a study that revealed just how effective this new means of

pinpointing radiation delivery is. “The high cure rate is striking when compared to the reported five-year cure rates from other approaches like surgery or conventional radiation, which range between 80 to 90 percent, while the side effects of this treatment are comparable to other types of treatment,” Hannan said.

Great Oak pole vaulter Alex Ungrady sets school record while capturing League Championship; Other SWL Finals Results senior Alex Ungrady unloaded for an 11.08.00 foot vault, breaking the Great Oak school record and capturing first place in the Varsity girls pole vault by 6 inches. The former record was 11.06.00, and stood since 2010. Ungrady’s twin sister Alyssa also took home her own individual championship, taking first place in the 800 meters with a time of 2:18.23. The Wolfpack also got a stellar performance from nationally ranked thrower Seth Knowlton, who broke the school’s discus toss record with his 198’6.00 toss, breaking the former record of 187’8.50.

The 2016 Southwestern League Finals took place May 4, and as expected, Great Oak ran way ahead of the competition. Great Oak captured three of the four league team championships, as the boys’ varsity, girls’ varsity and frosh/soph boys teams cruised to victories. The Vista Murrieta frosh/ soph girls’ team would take their own league win over Great Oak by just two points, just avoiding the complete sweep. One of the Wolfpack’s best moments came in the girls’ pole vaulting championships, when

Great Oak’s Ryan McCoy wins Southwestern League Individual Championship Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The good news keeps rolling in for the Southwestern League’s best golf team. A week after capturing their 10th straight SWL Title, Great Oak outperformed the entire rest of the league during the Individual Championships, with the top four golfers coming from the Wolfpack. Ryan McCoy, who finished the season with the league’s secondbest average at 74.5, shot the lowest score over the two day tournament, earning himself SWL MVP honors and the Individual League Championship. His score of 143 was two less than that of the 2014 SWL MVP Kendel Hodges, thanks to his stellar performance on the back nine of Day 1, where he shot a tournamentlow 32, and the front nine of Day 2, shooting 35 on his way to victory. Two years prior, McCoy and Hodges finished neck-and-neck in the same situation, with Hodges taking the victory in a playoff. This time around McCoy took advantage of the slim lead he gained

himself on Day 1 and downed his teammate shooting just one shot over par. Following McCoy’s first-place finish and Hodges second-place finish were Great Oak’s Tim Davis and Haoyuan “Jack” Li, who tied for third-place at 147. Raj Gill, also a Wolfpack golfer, tied for eigth place and qualified for CIF, marking their fifth golfer who advanced to CIF. The only Great Oak golfer that failed to make CIF Individuals was senior Matthew Lester, who fell one shot short of tying for eighth. Last year, Li (who had the SWL’s best average at 73.5) and Davis had a similar situation to that of McCoy and Hodges in 2014, when the two tied following two days of play and had to go into a playoff, with Li barely edging out Davis. It was almost fitting that the two tied in this year’s tournament. McCoy becomes Great Oak’s fifth-consecutive League Champion, a streak that started in 2012 with Jose Pelayo (Class of 2012), and continued on with Michael Howe (Class of 2013), Kendel Hodges (Class of 2016), Haoyuan

Li (Class of 2016) and now McCoy (Class of 2017). Five other Southwestern League golfers qualified for CIF Play thanks to their performances in the Championships, as Edwin Kuang (Fifth place), Michael McMillan (Seventh place) and Jonathan Graf (Eigth place) of Murrieta Valley and Jordan Cook (Sixth place) of Chaparral all qualified. Three other Murrieta Valley golfers advanced past Day 1 of play, but failed to qualify for the Top 8 as Harrison Kingsley, Cade Casaga and Edward Yi fell just short. Cook was the only Chaparral golfer to advance past Day 1, while only one Murrieta Mesa golfer (Alex Crozier) would do the same before failing to make the Top 8 in Day 2. Out of the 18 golfers who qualified for Day 2, Vista Murrieta had two golfers move on with both Kaden Page and Austen Lopez advancing but failing to make Top 8. The same goes for Temecula Valley who had Devin Ferguson and Austin Parr advance to Day 2.

Great Oak golfer Ryan McCoy won the Southwestern League individual championship with a score of 143 (69 -74). Andrez Imaging

HS Girls Softball: Linfield’s undefeated season comes to an end in 3-1 loss to Aquinas Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The Linfield girls can still claim the title as they remain one game ahead in the standings with two games left in the regular season. Courtesy photo

With just four games left in league play, it looked like the Linfield Lions softball team was going to pull of the perfect season. Unfortunately for them, Aquinas High School (18-5) had other thoughts, as they handed the Lions their first loss in 20 games, earning the 3-1 victory. The Lions were averaging 11.7 runs per game heading into Monday’s game against the Falcons, and hadn’t allowed a run to score in three games. A stellar performance from Aquinas pitcher Brissa Alvarado stymied the explosive Linfield offense, holding them to just one run and five hits while pitching a complete game. She also struck

out five batters and walked none. Alvarado was able to keep the Lion’s offense quiet on the day, most notably junior Courtney Ducharme, who currently ranks second on the team with her .559 batting average. Linfield’s lone run came in the first inning on a single from sophomore Alex Perez (.655 BA, 3 HR’s, 35 RBI’s). Perez (9-1, 1.35 ERA, 101 K’s) also pitched a complete game for the Lions, striking out 14. However, her downfall was walks as she walked five different batters including four hits, which resulted in three runs, tied for the second-most the Lions have given up all year. The Ambassador League Title still lies within Linfield’s reaches, as they lead the rest of the division with an 11-1 record in league play.

Once again, Aquinas is hoping to change their plans as they sit just a game behind them at 10-2. With three games left in league play, the Lions will host Western Christian May 5 before hitting the road May 10 against Ontario Christian, finally finishing the year at home against Notre Dame May 11 before CIF play begins. In previous matchups against those teams, both Ontario Christian (15-7) and Notre Dame (13-8) have come close to downing the Lions, when Ontario held them to just six runs in their 6-3 loss in early April. Notre Dame fell to the Lions in their first matchup as well, but managed to score a season-high seven runs on the Linfield pitching staff in their 12-7 loss.

Three Paloma Valley students commit to St. Andrews University for volleyball Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The Paloma Valley Wildcats continue to roll out the collegiate athletes, when three students signed letters of intent to attend St. Andrews University in North Carolina. Alexandria Blackwell, Nathaniel Blackwell and Julian Desouza all committed to play volleyball for St. Andrews Friday, April 29. The signing is unique in part because Alexandria and Nathaniel are twins, and Julian is best friends with Nathaniel. The Knights, who play in the NAIA, will receive three stellar athletes in the fall when the Blackwell’s and Desouza start attending school. Alexandria, who is captain of the Girls Varsity volleyball team at Paloma Valley, stands at 5’11” and plays middle blocker.

The current St. Andrews mens’ volleyball team needs all the help it can get, after finishing the most recent season 0-22. With just two graduating seniors, Nathanial and Julian join a team where they can quickly climb the ranks and help lead the Knights to an Appalachian Athletic Conference Title. On the other hand, Alexandria joins a team that finished the season 21-10 and third in the AAC Standings, falling just short of the league title in tournament play. Her height ties her for the tallest player on the team, and her ability should help her overcome any obstacles as she earns a starting spot on the Knights’ roster. She joins a team that will feature six new recruits, all of whom should make the team even stronger than they already are. Expect to hear a lot about these three in the future as they look to lead St. Andrews University to new heights on the volleyball court!

Murrieta Mesa signs away largest number of student athletes to date JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

Murrieta Mesa, the newest high school in the area, graduated its first senior class in 2012 and had only four student athletes at the time sign their national letters of intent to play collegiate sports. Four years later the athletic programs are making leaps and bounds from the days of old and this year the Rams will be sending off more studentathletes than ever to play their sport at the next level. On April 22, the Rams Den was packed with families, fans, supporters and school administrators as 12 student athletes joined a handful of others that already signed this year, to continue their dream of playing collegiate sports after graduation. The list includes: Baseball: • Brad Prebay – Columbia College of Missouri • J u s t i n R a n d l e – C o l u m b i a College of Missouri • Christion Anderson – University of Antelope Valley

Why we should fear a President Trump, Sanders or Clinton Harold Pease, Ph. D SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Editor’s note; I usually like to reserve this space for my own thoughts and opinions on life in general, but when I came across this little gem as I was editing content for our sister paper, the Anza Valley Outlook, I knew I had to share. Pease hits the nail on the head with this piece and I couldn’t have said it better myself. To share your opinions on local, regional and national issues, send an email to valleyeditor@reedermedia.com. In listening to the three remaining presidential candidates Trump, Sanders and Clinton, one would think that each actually has the power to do what he/she says will be done. Trump will nullify and replace Obamacare, build a wall along our southern border stopping illegal immigration that Mexico will pay for, send back the 11 million that already illegally crossed, end Common Core and the Environmental Protection Agency, ban most foreign Muslims from entering the U.S., open to surveil mosques in the U.S., create a database of Syrian refugees, bomb ISIS, target and kill the relatives of terrorists, shut down parts of the Internet to prevent ISIS recruitment, reintroduce torture (waterboarding) to extract intelligence, to name a few. Bernie Sanders also has his “pie in the sky” promises notably free tuition at public universities, universal health care coverage, legislation to change the climate, and he opposes trade deals that take advantage of the poor labor of other counties. He would end income inequality, establishing a $15 minimum wage, and close the gender pay gap. He advocates investing a trillion dollars over five years to rebuild our infrastructure,

and will drastically reform the campaign finance system. He calls the free market a “rigged economy.” At least he is honest in labeling his proposals a “political revolution.” “Today … we begin a political revolution to transform our country economically, politically, socially and environmentally,” said Sanders. Hilliary Clinton has vowed to continue the Barack Obama agenda. She speaks of a more inclusive society, early childhood education and child care accessibility, and higher education reform, student debt relief, universal automatic voter registration. She also will focus on substance abuse, and mental health issues, campaign finance reform, breaking down barriers of race, gender, and sexual orientation in America. She promises to breakup banks “if they deserve it,” work to end racism, sexism and discrimination against the LGBT community and welcome immigrants overnight. The list for each is long and candidates add to it on a whim. Unfortunately, most, if not all, of these things the president has no constitutional power to implement. His powers are listed in Article II of the Constitution and have not been expanded by way of amendment as required in Article V of that document, thus they are totally unconstitutional for the president to do without congressional, and sometimes state, approval. Some few may be constitutionally forbidden even with permission of the legislative branch. Presidents, in their thirst for power and, or, proclaimed expediency, have empowered themselves to the point of “kingship” with their worshipful, unchallenging, party followers (whether democrat or Republican) quite willing to look the other way as government grows

beyond its ability to be constitutional or efficient. At any time, a president could remind the people of his real constitutional powers but he will not as that would drastically reduce his perceived power that is beginning to look limitless. Under Article II of the Constitution the president has but 11 powers. Let us identify them: 1) “Commander in chief of the army and navy of the United States” including the militia when called into actual service of the United States; 2) supervise departments (cabinet), each presumably established by the Congress (George Washington had but four); 3) grant reprieves and pardons; 4) make treaties with the help of the Senate; 5) with Senate help appoint positions established by law such as ambassadors, ministers and judges; 6) fill vacancies “during recess of the Senate;” 7) make recommendations to Congress on the state of the union; 8) convene both houses on special occasions and handle disputes with respect to convening; 9) receive ambassadors and other public ministers; 10) make certain that “laws be faithfully executed;” and, 11) “commission all the officers of the United States.” Simply stated the president has two supervisory powers over existing organizations and two shared powers with the Senate, otherwise he pardons, recommends, appoints and entertains. That is it! Notice the absence of power to make any rules and regulations on us. This is the job of Congress alone. Thus a prospective president sets his constituency up with unrealistic expectations and eventual disillusionment. When unable to implement promised changes he quickly becomes unpopular as has happened to his predecessors. Since he has no law making powers, he must persuade Congress to agree to

Medicare ‘Test’ would accelerate cancer clinic closings William E. Nibley, M.D. SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

For cancer patients, it’s getting harder to find access to quality, affordable care. More than 300 of the nation’s cancer clinics have closed since 2008, and roughly 400 are struggling to make ends meet, according to the Community Oncology Alliance. Yet the Obama administration is about to make it even more difficult for cancer patients to receive care in local clinics. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently released a plan to cut doctor payments for treatments administered under Medicare Part B. While the administration is presenting the change as a publicpolicy experiment, the CMS proposal amounts to a backdoor strategy to dramatically slash Medicare reimbursements for physicians. If implemented, the policy would financially strain or even bankrupt numerous medical practices, jeopardizing patients’ access to care for conditions like cancer, cerebral palsy and rheumatoid arthritis. Part B is the segment of Medicare that covers outpatient treatments including drugs so potent that a physician must administer them. Six of the top 10 drugs covered by Part B are used to treat cancer or the side-effects of cancer treatment. Doctors and clinics pay for

these medicines themselves, and are supposed to be reimbursed by CMS at Average Sales Price of plus 6 percent, per the 2003 law that established the add on to cover overhead costs associated with storing and administering these complex medicines. However, after factoring in the Medicare sequester and flawed inclusion of distributor prompt pay discounts, the actual current reimbursement rate is closer to ASPplus2.3 percent. The CMS plans would pay Part B doctors different amounts based on geographic location. According to the Obama administration, the goal of this new model is to test how different physician reimbursement rates influence treatment decisions. But with the policy set to affect up to 75 percent of providers, the model looks less like a small-scale “test” than a sweeping and unilateral reimbursement cut. This represents an aggressive overreach by CMS.The existing Part B reimbursement rate, after all, was put in place by Congress. The administration is now seeking to cut that rate without consulting legislators or the public. The consequences of such reimbursement cuts are well documented and tragic, especially for community cancer clinics. Repeated reimbursement cuts have been a key driver of clinic closings and the shift toward hospitals providing outpatient

care. In 2005, 87 percent of cancer patients received treatment in community practices. By 2011 that had dropped to 67 percent. In 2013, Part B reimbursements were slashed again as a result of the across-the-board federal budget cuts known as “sequestration.” In one survey, 80 percent of the nation’s cancer doctors said that the cuts had an impact on their practices. Half of respondents reported sending their patients somewhere else to receive chemotherapy. When clinics go under or can’t afford to take on new Medicare patients, sick seniors are forced to travel longer distances to hospitals, which generally charge higher prices and provide less personalized care. Additionally, it’s unclear that the CMS plan would contain Medicare costs. Outpatient drugs account for just 3 percent of Medicare expenditures, and the cost of Part B medications has remained stable, making the program a poor target for pennypinching reforms. If the administration moves forward with this plan, it will be acting against the best interests of the nation’s most vulnerable Medicare patients, and get little in return. Dr. William E. Nibley is president of Utah Cancer Specialists, the largest community-based oncology practice in Utah.

his proposed changes. When they do not, as in the case of Barack Obama, he is tempted to make law himself to keep face with his promises and constituency. The practice is a most serious violation of the Constitution and is impeachable. In the case of Obama, Congress is afraid to pursue the blatant offense to the Constitution. Unchallenged, it opens the door for future power grabbing presidents to do the same and the president replaces Congress as the major law making branch of government. All three of the remaining presidential candidates will resort to executive orders rather than disillusion their expecting followers. The term executive order, used by presidents to make law, is not found in the Constitution. Executive orders were initially nothing more than interdepartmental communications between the president and his executive branch with him requesting some action on their

part. Constitutionally they have no law making function. Congress must reign-in any executive that uses them to make or alter law. Article I, Section I gives only Congress law making power. Impeachment is a proper response for any president who subverts or threatens the separation of powers doctrine, as his oath requires that he “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” I advocated such for the last two presidents and will do so again whichever party, or whomever candidate, does so.

In your own words In your own words Editor’s note; In your own words is a new opinion column that will run weekly and features readers’ comments from our website, www.myvalleynews. com and our social media sites. Comments have been edited to reflect The Associated Press style. In response to the April 27, online story, “Death investigation in Sage confirmed by officials,” Jenel Resh writes, “I did check with a friend of mine who lives right next to the rock quarry and she did tell me that she and other neighbors signed a release to Honda to film a commercial there. Actually, my husband and daughter saw them filming the commercial. The police helicopter activity is because there are so many pot grows in our area. A total of four large pot grows were busted just in the last month in and around our area. One pot grow was shut down off Intrepid and now the people who were running the operation are threatening all of us neighbors because they are angry they were shut down. So we all have to deal with drug dealers now who are paranoid and suspicious and now angry that they can no longer grow their Marijuana. They are even threatening neighbors who had nothing to do with the bust. I called the police and filed a report being I was one of the neighbors who felt threatened and if anything happens to someone in my family they need to look at those people first. The cops told me if ANYTHING happens to anyone on that block they will look at them first. It’s insane really. I moved out there for peace and quiet and just to ride my horses in a beautiful area and now I have to deal with this. However, a lot of new people

are building or moving into the area and they are really the ones speaking up and not willing to put up with the noise, diesel pollution from generators, and just pot in general I guess. On top of that we have dead bodies around now. I do see a lot more cops patrolling the area off Intrepid, De Portola, and Mesa now. Have seen at least one cop car a day and from what I have been told the police presence is not going to end anytime soon. Possibly not until they sort out these deaths.” In response to the March 4, story, “What are your options with a “fixer upper” patio cover,” John writes, “Thanks for sharing this. Whenever you start work on an older patio structure, it’s important to make sure everything already there that will also be part of the “new” structure is in good condition. I couldn’t imagine putting a new roof or cover on something only to find that the supports for it were rotting in a spot we didn’t check.” In response to the April 7, story, “Anza drug bust has regional implications,” BlackVan writes, “Residents of Anza/ Aguanga/Hemet, in case you’re wondering how so many of your neighbors are moving out – it’s not because of fear – they cannot resist selling their home at an all-time high value. Thanks to the growers that have moved into this region, home values have sky rocketed. Growers, investors whatever you want to call them have pour money like never before into this otherwise desolate region that was prefect for meth labs.” To comment on any story online visit www.myvalleynews. com.

Letter to the editor To the editor, In Jane Chastain’s article, “Governor feeds churches to gay-activist lions,” she speaks to private businesses’ freedom to operate as they please. However, the editorial is not only repulsively inflammatory but inaccurate. I do not understand how a long history of systematic oppression and violence leads one to see a “coddled, bellicose special-interest group.” It was stated that “gay couples are more affluent and have more disposable income than couples in general.” Understanding that she may have only seen the LGBTQIAP+ community on her TV screen, I feel it is my duty to explain that not all gays are from Will & Grace. A study by Gallup in partnership

with the Williams Institute saw that 35 percent of LGBT+ adults belong the poverty line compared to 24 percent for the general population. Not to mention that one third of the group are people of color, who earn approximately 70 cents in comparison to a white man’s dollar. And with LGBT+ people making up 40 percent of homeless youth, it is obvious the privilege she sees is slim to none. This group has struggled, and continues to struggle, no thanks to perspectives like hers. There is a line between ‘religious freedoms’ and vehement reluctance to accept the twenty- first century. And support for one is most oft a disguise for the other. Meg Greene Winchester, CA

While eight horses will require training, participants can also adopt two horses that have already been trained through the TIP. These mustangs have already been gentled and can still be purchased for the low base price of $125 before bidding occurs, according to local TIP Trainer Debbie Rineer. If looking to adopt the other eight horses, the Mustang Heritage Foundation contracts trainers to help with saddle training and other services for untamed horses.

HOME & GARDEN

Formal dining is out as residents reclaim the space Ashley Ludwig STAFF WRITER

Consider clearing your dining room of furniture, using wall space for books and knickknacks, and allowing a clear space to meditate. Enable inner calm by removing a dumping ground for backpacks, sports gear and mail.

ormal dining rooms are going the way of the Dodo bird. The once standard 8-person dining room table set, complete with hutch and china storage cabinets are making room for alternative purposes according to local designers. Many families are no longer embracing formal entertaining. The kitchen is the heart of the home, where guests tend to migrate during parties. This begs the question; just why do we need to maintain the illusion that a magical dinner party will take place in that pristine front room? Allay your guilt of maintaining that hulking table and hutch and remove the formal from your mind. At our house, all eating is done at the kitchen table, or let’s face it, on TV trays, or in the car on the way home from soccer practice. That space that harbors the dining room table only looks pristine and gorgeous Monday morning after everyone has gone to work or school. The rest of the week, it has become a dumping ground for backpacks, mail and other debris of life that piles up over the course of the busy week. There is no need to clutter up your space with a table and heavy chairs when you only use them a handful of days a year. If you transform the dining room that is obsolete into something fun, elegant chances are it will enhance your lifestyle and even get the children away from the television set. First off, identify the need. Do you just have a weigh station need? A mudroom expansion off your entry way might be your answer. However, go beyond and imagine what else your dining room could be. Mudroom – entry way expansion Do you have a place to store the piles of shoes, backpacks, and soccer balls that life confronts you with? Your dining space would make an ideal mud-room. Pottery Barn and Ikea hacks offer many ideas for creating your own personal storage solution for the children and adults who wander through the door. Giving each child their unique space to store backpacks and soccer gear. Provide wall hooks, baskets, as well as clipboards with homework and places for mom to sign before they race out the door again. A sisal rug or vinyl tile will help ensure that muddy shoes don’t leave too big a mess for the rest of the house. If your dining space is small, and right off the front door, a new and expanded mud room may be the best option for you. Game Room – let the games begin A garage game room may work for you, but if the arcade games you’ve collected gather more dust than high scores, consider bringing

the game room inside instead. A space inside your home would be ideal for vintage video games, pool tables, slot machines, pachinko or pinball. The sky is the limit once you put your game room imagination to the test. What is your focal point? A pool table might fill that bill, as could an antique Wurlitzer jukebox. Antique pinball machines and big box video games add to the party fun with the arcade noises of 80s game parlors. Depending on the size and shape of your formal dining area, the game room could benefit from a Foosball, pool table or permanent card table anchored by an area rug. Paint one wall with chalkboard paint to keep high scores, and don’t forget that dart board—a time honored favorite. Meditation Room – find your inner Zen Once you ditch the dining room furniture, you may discover that the wide-open and empty space suits your lifestyle. Give yourself and friends a basket of yoga mats, add a stack of floor pillows, and unwind before or after a stressful day. You may find that empty space is exactly what your heart desired. Other ways of keeping a room

A formal dining room chandelier over a quiet space to read, relax and enjoy a favorite book gives you the opportunity to comfort your inner reader. Build in shelves and make yourself a private library room.

Zen is just ensuring it is Spartan— decorated with simple furniture, such as a bench seat with baskets underneath. Let the Music Play – Make your own music room Have you always wanted a piano, but had no space to put one? Consider swapping that dining room table out for a baby grand or stand up piano. Culture will win if you turn the former formal dining space into a music room. The music room will add a feeling of culture and class as well as become a focal point for holiday parties. Look for pianos on Craigslist and Facebook Exchange sites. If you wish a more eclectic feel, rather than formal, consider hanging guitars and other musical instruments on the wall for ready access. Provide a few comfy chairs for your waiting audience and encourage your children to learn how to play. Bookworm’s delight – Add a reading room Have you collected mountains of books, most of which are in boxes in your garage? A built in library might be your answer. Not every space has to be filled with reading material. Interior designers recommend leaving open space, using

Clear out the dining room table and bring in the pool table. Unique, vintage video games, boxy arcade games and pinball machines can become your next collection and see more use than if buried in a garage. Embrace the family fun times and find you’ll use the space much more than just for formal occasions.

items of different shapes and sizes to draw the eye as well as engage the mind. A dining room transformed into a library would ideally have club chairs for book club conversation, good lighting and if at all possible, a view of the fireplace for cozy winter nights. If you have cathedral

ceilings, consider adding shelves beyond your reach and a vintage library ladder, complete with wheels and track. At our house, the chairs and table are on the chopping block to make way for a more functional space. It’s time to rethink that dining room and make it work for our home.

Real Estate / Home & Garden

What to do when your house does not sell

John Occhi and Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

You look back to the day you decided to list your home for sale. You met with a real estate agent that you met at the children’s soccer game and you got along with her great. You just knew she would be the right agent to sell your home, after all her children played on the same team and she was always bringing snacks and water for everyone to share. You set the appointment for her to come visit the home and meet your spouse. As your finishing up the dinner dishes, the agent arrives, with a tray of freshly baked brownies. You tour the home and she is making you feel great about how wonderful a home you have and how much she looks forward to selling it for you. Paperwork is signed, without really going over anything in detail, however, everyone was feeling really great. You felt like you had a new best friend. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of conversation of the selling process or what you can do to get the home sold quickly. What happens next Days turn into a week, and a sign

is installed, and a lockbox is now on your gas meter. You feel optimistic. The property is listed in the MLS and shows up on Zillow.com, REALTOR. com and other sites on the Internet and you are feeling good. After all, your agent agreed with you on the price you wanted for your home, even if it is $20,000. more than anything else in the neighborhood. The first week there are three showings, all from out of the area agents. You have your hopes up, but are slightly disappointed. The second week there is one more showing. Hmmmm, you start to question the market. The weeks turn to a month and the showing stop completely. You’re tired of having the home clean every day for no one to show up. The one time you leave dishes in the sink and don’t clean the cat box, there is a showing that goes nowhere. The only time you speak with the agent now is when you call her. After month two, the agent wants to drop the list price. You feel betrayed. You reluctantly agree, to little too late – now you’re chasing the market. A lowball offer, $50,000 below the new list price comes in. This angers you. Another month goes by and only three showings all month. The next month only has two showing after that nothing. With less and less contact from the agent, after all soccer season has ended and so has your chance to sell your home and move on with your life. Frustrating isn’t it?

What to do now Regardless if the scenario above hits home or your home did not sell for another reason. Don’t let this discourage you (easier said than done, I know). It may have absolutely nothing to do with either your home or the current market. Chances are it is more likely one of the following: • Teamwork • Price • Homes Condition • Marketing The first step is you need to make a commitment to getting the home sold, if that’s what you want to do. You need a system that will accomplish your goals. Let’s begin with Teamwork! Teamwork Selling your home should be trusted to a competent REALTOR® based on experience and trust. Sure, it’s nice to “like” your real estate agent but more importantly you need to know that they know what they are doing and have your best interest above theirs – this is called a Fiduciary Duty. Communication is paramount to the relationship. Your real estate agent will be communicating with other agents, lenders and other vendors when the home enters escrow. Your agent has the responsibility to channel that communication back to you, keeping you in the loop at all times. Price The price you ask for your home is critical to generate showings which in turn generate offers which is how homes are sold. To determine a fair price that will sell, you need to understand the current market conditions. You should never list it either too high or too low if you want to be taken seriously as a seller ready to move. Your agent should prepare a Competitive Market Analysis (CMA) for you which will give you all the information needed to price your home to sell to include similar homes that have recently sold and are currently on the market as well as an idea of how long they took to sell. Just as important, the CMA should include other homes that were recently listed for sale and did not sale, homes that ‘expired’ just like yours did. There is much that can be learned about current market conditions by studying this data.

Marketing The key to marketing a home for sale in today’s real estate market has to be the Internet. Interview several agents (critical) and after focusing on the trust issue, hone in on their marketing plan. This is one of the biggest differentiators between successful and mediocre agents. Find out what their budget is for marketing your home and what media they

in its best light. Make certain that the home is always kept clean and ready to show, even when you’re at work and the home is vacant. If there are pets, figure out what to do with them so the home can be shown without inconvenience to a buyer at the times a buyer wants to see the home. You’ll need to declutter and depersonalize the home. The hallway wall of four generations of family photos should be removed and packed for their new home. You don’t want anyone judging your home based on who you are and what you believe in. That is personal and it should stay that way. Remember to pay attention to ‘Curb Appeal.’ I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been with a buyer who likes a particular neighborhood, and on paper a particular house only to say, “keep driving” as soon as we pull up because of overgrown planters.

On April 30, 44 entrants brought 186 birds to the inaugural Feathers, Friends and Fun Poultry Show held by the Sun Valley Poultry Club at Rainbow Valley Grange hall in Rainbow. Participants of all ages came from Fallbrook, Murrieta, Valley Center and as far away as Alpine, Apple Valley and Hacienda Heights, among other places. Several species and breeds of poultry were exhibited, with classes for bantam (small) chickens, turkeys, waterfowl, geese, ducks and large fowl. Donita Blalock from El Cajon, a licensed American Poultry Associa-

tion and American Bantam Association judge, served as judge for both the Open and Youth birds. The event started with the Primary class of 5 to 8 year olds in the Youth division, mostly 4-H members who are too young to enter their county fairs. The Primary exhibitors practiced showmanship with the guidance of Genevieve Mason, past President of Fallbrook 4-H from 2012-13 and California 4-H Ambassador in 2013-14, who also conducted the Knowledge Bowl for older youth, (Junior 8-11 Intermediate 12-14, Senior 15-17). Ribbons were awarded for the Best and Reserve (second best) entries in each class. Organizers said the pur-

Feel good about clearing clutter Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Whether spring or summer, extended breaks from the day-to-day routines are great for making new family memories. They are also great for taking some time to recall previous ones often found in items around the house. From those old baby clothes and toys to books and dusty tech you haven’t touched in years, these “memories” may be cluttering your home. Spend some time as a family and clear out what you no longer need. For some extra motivation, approach your cleaning with a fresh perspective: donating your gentlyused items will help others while freeing up space for new memories. Get on your way to a cleaner, less cluttered home with the following tips. Take it one room at a time. Whether you live in a modest apartment or a sprawling single-family home, overhauling your entire living space at once is an overwhelming prospect. Instead, focus on one room at a time with a timeframe that makes sense for your schedule.

Don’t save the worst for last. Avoid the temptation to leave your messiest catch-all room for the end. Instead, tackle it first and spend extra time thinking about where you can reassign some of the clutter, so it’s not all accumulating in a single room. Give items meaning. Take a cue from stylist, author and TV host Emily Henderson and implement a rule that items you keep should be at least two of three things: functional, sentimental and beautiful. If an item is none of these (like an old food storage container without a lid), toss it. Especially if you are low on space, only hang on to those items that serve two or more roles. Sort your stuff into piles. In every room, you’ll find items you need to keep close at hand, others you’d like to keep but could be stashed away, things that may have value to others and stuff that simply needs to be trashed. Look for ways to give back. While it sometimes makes sense to resell unwanted items online or through a yard sale, donating is another way you can give these

goods a second life and help bring warmth, happiness and smiles to others. Through its Glad to Give program, the Glad Products Company makes donating easy because you can fill a Glad ForceFlex bag, stretch it and stuff it with just about anything you want to donate. Clothing is one of the best things to donate so others can make better use of the gently-loved items you are hoarding, Henderson said. Unless a garment has been worn in the last four seasons, donate it. Other prime candidates for donating: toys, sports equipment, DVDs and home gadgets. Organize what remains. Once you’ve cleared the clutter and determined which items will stay, find attractive ways to create order and manage the mess. You can choose from a wide range of organizational options – everything from shelves and baskets to storage furniture and closet systems – to help make the most of your space and reveal more inviting rooms that make you feel comfortable at home. Find resources for giving back, and schedule a free local donation pickup for an organization of your choice, at GladtoGive.com.

In today’s world, people are influenced by recommendations on Social Media and reviews online to decide where to buy a product or service. Call me today

The Tax Lady, hire your children to work for your business Karyn Vaughn, E.A. SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

If you own a business, hiring your dependent children can help lower your taxes. This is an effective strategy because the law allows you to employ your dependent children underage 18 without payrool taxes. That’s right -- no Social Security, Medicare or unemployment taxes. The child also is exempt from his own FICA and SDI taxes and probably from federal and state withholding. In addition to the savings on payroll taxes, which is an advantage over hiring an outside employee, it can lower your taxes as well. Many sole proprietors have the children doing chores for the business anyway. If you are paying them an allowance for this, you are missing the boat. Children as young as age seven have been considered bona fide employees of their parents’ businesses for tax purposes. How does this benefit the taxpayer? By paying a wage to the children, you are creating a deductible business expense for your Schedule C. This lowers not just your income tax, but your self-employment tax as well. The children will show it as income, but exempt from self-employment tax and almost

certainly in a lower tax bracket. In fact, if this is the only source of income, the child can earn $6,300 per year completely tax-free and remain your dependent. As with all tax planning strategies, however, you must keep it legitimate. The children must have a real job that provides a benefit to the business. You must pay a reasonable wage for the work, $25 per hour for bagging trash will not fly. But making copies, cleaning the office or organizing inventory can certainly qualify. Be sure to pay them at least minimum wage which is currently $10 in California and keep all time cards for five years. The money must actually be paid to the child, not just shown on paper. You must report it on quarterly payroll tax returns and W-2s, even if the children are your only employees. The child can use the money for clothes, toys, etc. or it can be invested for the child’s future. You can even take this strategy one step further and pay the child as much as $11,800, then make a deductible $5,500 individual retirement account contribution. This brings you back down to the tax-free zone. You would have to file an income tax return for the child in this case. The child is getting a

great head start on retirement and you are deducting nearly $12,000 in wages paid from your business. Just be sure you don’t go so far that the child’s wage is providing more than half their support and you lose their dependency exemption. The IRA cannot be taken out until the child is age 59 1/2 without penalty, but, boy, what that $5,500 will be worth by then! If you have a business and children, this strategy can provide a great tax-saving opportunity. Just keep it legitimate; File proper returns, maintain good records and obey all the rules, then watch the tax savings add up! Karyn Vaughn is an Enrolled Agent and business consultant.

Altura Credit Union sees first quarter high income growth RIVERSIDE – Altura Credit Union reported net income of $3.229 million on assets of $1.205 billion for the quarter ended March 31. Income for the quarter was budgeted at $840,000 due to ongoing costs related to Altura’s 2015 merger with Visterra Credit Union. That projection was exceeded by a wide margin as overall performance in the first quarter was substantially better than expected. “We are very pleased with our performance in the first quarter. Things are going very, very well,” said Mark Hawkins, president and CEO of Altura Credit Union. “The benefits derived from our recent merger, combined with the continued strengthening of the Inland Empire’s economy, has had a direct and positive impact on our bottom line,” he said. “Member support has been especially strong with increased loan production and heightened new Member activity. This has really brightened our outlook for the balance of 2016.” The unemployment rate in the Inland Empire, Altura’s main service area, dropped to 5.8 percent in February, according to the State of California’s Employment Development Department in its April announcement. This is down from a high of nearly 15 percent in mid-2010, and marks the region’s lowest rate of unemployment since June 2007. “The Inland Empire was hit particularly hard by the recession and many people lost their jobs and their homes. Today, housing prices in the area are continuing to rebound and job losses have been replaced by job gains,” said Hawkins. “Local conditions are

remarkably better, and we are benefiting from that.” Lending is stronger in all areas and Altura, benefiting from the added revenue growth, is also experiencing a significant boost in new members. In the first quarter alone, nearly 3,300 new members joined Altura. “Our communication with our members has been really strong, and we have been running a number of promotions to reach out to potential members. Now that the general economic climate has improved, our messages seem to be resonating with members and non-members alike,” Hawkins said. Altura’s Net Worth Ratio remains strong at 10.37 percent at quarter-end. The National Credit Union Administration, NCUA, considers a ratio of 7 percent or above to be “well capitalized.” “Overall, the marketplace recovery is picking up steam and we are beginning to hit on all cylinders,” he continued. “Members are feeling more confident and they’re coming to Altura for their borrowing and all of their financial needs. Affordability is really strong, and unemployment is getting down to pre-recession numbers. All of this is really great news for our Members, our community and for Altura,” Hawkins concluded. Based in the Inland Empire for 58 years, Altura Credit Union serves 116,000 Members, has $1.205 billion in total assets and operates 13 branch offices in Riverside County. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Riverside and San Diego counties; selected cities in San Bernardino and Orange counties; as well as U.S. Military, U.S. Gov-

Street racing has been named the cause of the May 8 accident in Lake Elsinore that claimed the life of a Las Vegas man. This investigation revealed an illegal street race occurred on Railroad Canyon Road Sunday, May 8, just after midnight, leading up to this collision according to Riverside County Sheriff’s Sergeant Nathan Kaas.

“Ricky Koesy, an 18-yearold from Menifee, engaged in an illegal street race with Jacob Frederickson, a 19-year-old from Murrieta,” Kaas reported. “The vehicles were traveling westbound on Railroad Canyon Road in Lake Elsinore.” While engaged in the illegal street race, Koesy lost control of his vehicle and struck a light pole.

“A passenger in Koesy’s vehicle, Joseph Paul Castro Jr., a 19-yearold from Las Vegas, Nevada, was killed as a result of the collision,” Kaas said. Ricky Koesy was arrested and booked at the Southwest Detention Center for voluntary manslaughter and DUI causing injury, according to Kaas’s report. “Frederickson was located at his

Murrieta officers recover 2 stolen cars in 2 hours 2 arrested Trevor Montgomery WRITER

MURRIETA – Murrieta Police officers located and recovered two separate occupied stolen cars and arrested two men in unrelated incidents within a two-hour period, April 16. Both arrests occurred the area of White Leaf Lane, in Murrieta, according to a police official. Officers arrested Jeremy Walters Cathers, 20 years, of Temecula and Francisco Javier Arreola, 35 years, of Wildomar. They were later booked for a variety of charges and warrants, including eight felony and 20 misdemeanor counts between the two. “It should be noted that there have been three stolen vehicles located in the area of White Leaf Lane in less than one week,” Murrieta Police Lieutenant Tony Conrad said about the two unrelated incidents and arrests. At about 3 a.m., a Murrieta police officer was conducting routine patrol in the area of White Leaf Lane and Buckwood Way when he observed an unoccupied vehicle parked in the area. The officer conducted a records check that revealed the vehicle had been reported stolen from the Menifee area four days earlier. “Within one minute of receiving the stolen vehicle confirmation, the officer observed a male exit a nearby residence and begin to enter the vehicle,” Conrad explained. Officers immediately detained the subject, identified as Cathers. Officers conducted a records check that revealed Cathers was on probation and had several warrants for his arrest. Officers subsequently arrested Cathers and he was booked into the Southwest Detention Center. About two hours after Cathers was arrested, another Murrieta police officer was conducting extra patrol in the area of White Leaf Lane and Buckwood Way when he observed a vehicle driving slowly

through the area with its headlights off. The officer conducted a records check on the vehicle’s license plate revealing the vehicle had been stolen out of Wildomar four days earlier. The officer conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle and detained the driver, identified as Francisco Arreola. Officers conducted a records check that showed Arreola had six outstanding warrants. Officers arrested Arreola and he was booked into the Southwest Detention Center. A jail records check indicated Cathers was booked for five felonies and 10 misdemeanors, including a number of warrants. Some of his charges included suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, violation of probation, possession of burglary tools, grand theft and possession of stolen property. Arreola was booked for three felonies and 10 misdemeanors, including a number of warrants. Some of the charges officers filed against him included suspicion of taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent, possession of a vehicle known to be stolen, possession of stolen property and six misdemeanor warrants. Cathers is being held in lieu of $12,500 bail and Arreola is being held in lieu of $30,000 bail. Both men are scheduled to be arraigned in their separate cases May 16, at the Southwest Justice Center at 8:30 a.m. “The Murrieta Police Department would like to take this opportunity to remind the citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity in your neighborhood,” Conrad said. “Together we can continue to keep Murrieta the second safest city in the nation.” Anyone with information about these incidents should contact Murrieta Police officials at (951) 304-2677. Callers can refer to incident file numbers 1605M-0729 and/or 1605M-0733 and can remain anonymous.

Four injured in head-on collision on Riverside Drive Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Four people were injured in a two vehicle head-on traffic collision on Riverside Drive near Robertson Street in Lake Elsinore, Sunday, May 8. Three of the four occupants from the vehicles sustained minor injuries, the fourth person sustained moderate injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital. Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Lake Elsinore Station and other emergency first responders rushed to the accident location after Riverside County emergency communications dispatchers received several 911 calls at about 2:55 p.m., from motorists regarding the head-on collision. The collision involved a black SUV and a small red car. Both vehicles sustained major damage and ended up on the dirt shoulders on opposite sides of the roadway. The first responding deputy immediately called for additional deputies and resources to assist in closing Riverside Drive in both directions, due to debris blocking the roadway. Deputies called for the temporary closure of Riverside Drive between

Richardson and Richard Streets. The closure, along one of the main corridors into Lake Elsinore, caused a major back up. Motorists who found themselves stuck due to the accident were forced to turn their vehicles around and search for alternate routes around the collision. Cal Fire/Riverside County Firefighters and AMR paramedics arrived on scene and immediately began assessing the four victims and treating their injuries. Three occupants from the SUV, described as a mother, father and their son, had minor complaints of pain and declined further medical treatment at the scene. The fourth victim from the car was trapped inside the vehicle and had to be extracted. Paramedics transported her to a local area hospital for further evaluation and treatment. The extent of her injuries was unknown. The roadway was reopened about an hour later after the vehicles were removed and the debris was cleared from the street. As of press time, the cause of the incident had not been determined. The accident is currently under investigation. Anyone with information about the collision should contact the Lake Elsinore Police Station at (951) 245-3300.
