JURUPA VALLEY – Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation that will restore millions of dollars in revenue taken away from four cities in Riverside County and used to pay for public safety realignment programs. “With this bill, millions of tax dollars will flow to benefit the people of Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Menifee and Wildomar,” Brown said during a bill-signing ceremony at Jurupa Valley City Hall. Senate Bill 130, authored by members of the Senate Committee on Budget & Fiscal Review, will boost aggregate vehicle-licensefee-in-lieu-of-property-tax-revenue allocations to the four cities by $17 million to $19 million in the next fiscal year and lower amounts thereafter, according to the legislation. “I thank the governor for

Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-CA 36, visited Hemet Fire Station 4 at Hemet Ryan Airport Tuesday, May 9, to assure Mercy Flight crews that he is forwarding a bipartisan bill to increase financial assistance to emergency air services particularly in rural and underserved areas. Ruiz, a physician himself who said he had trained in air rescue missions, met with the Mercy Flight crews stationed at the Hemet fire station and took a 10-minute air ambulance ride above the Hemet San Jacinto Valley to get an update on the emergency medical treatment provided during a mercy flight.
On arrival at the airport station, Ruiz shook hands with each of the crew and officers, thanking them for their service in rescuing hundreds of seriously injured or ill persons and quickly flying them to needed medical care at hospitals many miles away. He emphasized in his visit that in medical emergency care “minutes matter,” and this urgency is the reason to support and maintain air ambulance services like Mercy Air. “In medical transport, you get a patient to treatment that can prevent them from having a permanent disability as fast as you can and that saves a lot of cost throughout the life span of a patient,” Ruiz

Hemet Police officers will soon have new police vehicles Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The virtues of providing Hemet Police officers an assigned patrol vehicle that they may keep at home when off duty was explained to the Hemet City Council May 9 by Hemet Police Chief Dave Brown. The council after hearing the report approved the purchase of a new fleet of 19 fully equipped police cars for a little less than $840,000. The police department purchase request also included police car graphic displays, new radios, computers and mobile routers with the entire package priced at $1,037,030.66. The request included eight police vehicles being paid for by a portion of the new Measure U sales tax passed by voters in November. While the Hemet Police Department uses the assigned vehicle program for its officers, other departments have chosen to use the car “pool” method, where each officer after reporting for their shift chooses a car they will use on their patrol from a pool of cars in the lot. Chief Brown reported the assigned police car program has

proven to be highly successful. The “down time” at the beginning and end of a shift is eliminated because the officer’s patrol vehicle is equipped and ready to go at all times. This efficiency allows the officer to stay “in-service” for the entire length of the shift, actually giving the officer an extra 60 minutes a day in patrol time which is actually saves the department approximately $406,000 per year. During the 23 years the program has been in place, the chief said, the average “useful life” of a patrol car has increased to 7.5 years. Due to the increased life span, the department has only needed to replace an average of 3-5 cars per year. Similarly sized departments utilizing a “pool” car deployment method are required to replace 5-7 cars per year, or a third of their fleet. An additional benefit of the assigned vehicle program is the ability to rapidly deploy police resources during critical incidents or emergencies. When a major incident occurs, police supervisors can call in additional officers with patrol cars on the ready and equipped to immediately begin patrolling or assisting with the emergency. medical personnel needed, pilots and aviation fuel. These costs, upward of $11,000 for each flight, are not fully compensated by most of the more popular medical care insurance programs, like Medicare or Medicaid. Carolyn Mayle, vice president of government affairs for Air Meth-
Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-CA 36, talks with Mercy Air crews and Hemet firefighters at Hemet Fire Station 4, 1035 S. Cawston Ave., May 9 during a special visit to the area. Sitting next to him is Hemet Tony Ault photos Councilwoman Karlee Meyer.
Mercy Air ship takes off May 9, from Hemet Ryan Airport’s Hemet Fire Station 4 on Cawston Avenue with California U.S. Rep. Raul Ruiz aboard. The flight was part of the congressman’s visit to Hemet to give his support to continuing the vitally needed medical air services provided to patients in the area.
He said the officers, while having the opportunity to keep their vehicles at home, still can choose to leave them at the department if they so choose. They must live within 15 miles of the police department headquarters. Councilmen Russ Brown and Michael Perciful, who have police experience, agreed the assigned police car program is the best option. The council approved the purchase by a 5-0 vote. In other action, the city council approved the purchase of a 2017 Ford F450 flatbed with a spray unit for the public works department. The new truck, being purchased at a price of $87,218, will be used by the department to spray weeds and for other uses during the years to come. It replaces a 20-year-old spray truck that currently needs serious repairs. They also adopted a resolution to the business license ordinance concerning nonprofit agencies. Nonprofits would be exempted from the normal business license fees, but vendors with a nonprofit event will still be subject to the businesses license fees unless they are exempted too. ods, Mercy Air’s parent company, said most people who need the air ambulance services have the latter two medical insurance programs. Medicare provides about $6,000 for the service while Medicaid only provides $3,000 in compensation. She indicated that increasing the two programs reimbursement amount would be a huge help in keeping the air ambulance services operational. Ruiz agreed that keeping the aeromedical transport services is “a very pragmatic need that many, many people throughout the United States require because they do not have the tertiary care and the specialty trauma centers within their region. The only way to get there is to be flown. This is the dilemma people face in rural America.” He noted that in the Riverside and San Bernardino area which he represents the greatest need is hospitals that have Pediatric Intensive Care Units, and that Loma Linda University or St. Bernadine hospitals are the nearest to the desert areas. Any child with a serious illness or injury must take a life-flight to get the care they need. Ruiz has seen this need firsthand in his pediatric practice. He said he was concerned about Congress dismantling the Affordable Care Act suggesting that many people in California with Medicare and Medicaid could see a serious cutback in their medical insurance programs if the new plan isn’t changed in the Senate or when returned to the House. He said he hoped to work in a bipartisan manner with the Republican Legislature in the cost and the cost savings that aeromedical services offer to the nation and “to introduce a bill in a bipartisan manner to insure that we meet the needs of our patients who require emergency transport.” Attending the congressman’s visit were city officials, Hemet Fire Chief Scott Brown, the news media, many local paramedics and firefighters, Mercy Air executives and others.

Temecula council sets course as state preps for legal marijuana Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Temecula’s resistance to medical marijuana continued to soften last week, but recreational customers will likely need to look elsewhere when voter-approved legalization takes effect Jan. 1. Although that stance could change in the coming months, the city council followed its established course during a May 9 hearing that was punctuated by lobbying from marijuana advocates. The hearing marked the council’s third review of marijuana-related issues in just over a year, sessions that have totaled about seven hours. It also marked a further detour for a council that had been staunchly opposed to medical marijuana for more than a decade. “We’re knee deep in this, and it’s very complicated,” Councilman Mike Naggar mused at one point during the far-ranging May
9 discussion. That hearing ended with the council voting to extend its 11-yearold ban on commercial sales of marijuana within city limits. But the issues will get more study by a council committee and at an upcoming workshop, and there were hints that change may be in the offing. The council softened its stance by agreeing that medical marijuana deliveries can cross into the city. Naggar and other council members speculated that, unless vocal opposition surfaces, Temecula may allow at least one medical marijuana dispensary to open eventually in the city. Those concessions mark a sea change for Temecula, since marijuana possession shifted from being a criminal matter to a source of public policy debate two decades ago. California voters took the lead on the emerging medical and social issue when they approved the

nation’s first medical marijuana initiative in 1996. Yet despite the voter support, there was no uniformity across the state in establishing policies for sales, distribution or cultivation. Many cities like Temecula opted to simply ban cultivation, deliveries and sales of the product to residents who obtained a doctor’s recommendation. California’s vote sparked similar measures in other states. Since California’s approval, about two dozen states and the District of Colombia have allowed the use of medical marijuana. As support for medical marijuana grew, voters in four states – Colorado, Oregon, Alaska and Washington – legalized recreational use of the drug. The rapidly-changing state marijuana rules – which conflict with federal laws – have prompted California and other states to adopt policies toward dispensaries, deliveries and cultivation. Those changes, in turn, have spurred action by many cities and counties. Temecula examined its longstanding policies in January 2016. Those two hearings together lasted nearly five hours and drew comments from about 15 speakers. Most of the audience members were in favor of loosening restrictions. Several of them detailed how marijuana has lessened their pain or eased the serious medical conditions suffered by loved ones. At that time, the council adopted an ordinance that allows a qualified patient or primary caregiver
FUNDS from page A-1 recognizing the critical nature of this funding for our cities, particularly with respect to keeping our neighborhoods and families safe,” Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside, said. “This has been an issue I have fought for since before I was even elected, and I am proud to have partnered with Assemblywoman (Sabrina) Cervantes in delivering this major victory for our cities.” Menifee City Council members were present to witness the reinstatement of the city’s $4.5 million annual revenue stream that is critical for city services. “After many attempts to reinstate vehicle license fees back to Menifee, we are ever so grateful to receive these funds to pay for critical services, Councilwoman Lesa Sobek said. “We never gave up hope, and we extend our sincerest gratitude to the senator and assemblywoman for their vigilant efforts, as this was not about party politics for the city, but a real local issue affecting our ability

ing May 9. Most of the speakers told how medical marijuana has helped themselves or a relative with diseases or health difficulties. Several council members said they remain empathetic toward medical marijuana use. They wondered aloud whether Temecula should allow at least one medical marijuana dispensary to open. Naggar noted that many Temecula residents who use medical marijuana drive to other cities to make their purchases. He estimated that six dispensaries operate within a mile of his business office in the city of Perris. But several Temecula council members May 9 noted their opposition to recreational sales, saying such operations may fuel crime or other problems. “These are the kinds of questions I struggle with,” Rahn said at one point. “I’m a little uncomfortable shooting from the hip and modifying (existing rules).” After much discussion, the council agreed to leave the existing dispensary ban in place while city staff gathers more information and a public workshop is held. But council members also agreed not to impede deliveries of medical marijuana to buyers inside the city. Staff and council members said they expect to bring the topic back as state regulations are clarified before Prop. 64 takes effect Jan. 1. “I mean this very seriously,” Councilman Jeff Comerchero said as he made a motion that was endorsed by the council. “This (issue) is difficult.”
to provide services.” Early long-term budget projections showed that two sources of revenue were needed to close the $20 million deficit for status quo services. In November 2016, Menifee residents passed Measure DD, a 1 percent sales tax measure for public safety, infrastructure, road repairs and maintenance to help bridge the funding gap and not cut critical services. With the recent reinstatement of the vehicle license fees, the city now has the second required funding stream to add additional services to keep pace as the fastest growing city in southwest Riverside County. “With the funding gap for the Scott Road Interchange growing smaller, the reinstatement of the VLF could not have come at a better time,” Mayor Neil R. Winter said. “As a city council, we assure our residents that these funds will be used with the resident’s best interest in mind, and now with both Measure DD funding and with the VLF reinstatement, we can finally start the process to close the $20 million deficit created from the loss of VLF and rising public safety costs.” Cervantes, D-Corona, called the ratification of SB 130 “momentous” and critical to providing “public safety services and the community benefit programs that our residents seek and deserve.” The bill was reportedly one of the measures for which Cervantes and Roth sought the governor’s support before committing their votes in favor of the divisive $52 billion gas tax package put forward under Senate Bill 1, which Brown signed into law last month. SB 130 amends the California Revenue & Taxation Code to ensure that cities which incorporated between Jan. 1, 2004, and Jan. 1, 2012, receive funding based on a formula in effect prior to the ratification of Senate Bill 89 in June 2011. “The governor’s signing of this bill re-establishes a recurring funding source to replace the revenue source that was taken by the state in 2011 when the governor signed Senate Bill 89,” Wildomar City Manager Gary Nordquist said. “The new source of funding, when implemented will increase the city’s revues by over 20 percent. State Sen. Richard Roth had been working for five years and was recently joined
with Assemblywomen Sabrina Cervantes to restore this revenue source for the newly incorporated cities.” SB 89 subtracted more than $15 million in tax increment reserved for newly incorporated municipalities and diverted the money to a law enforcement services account from which grants were obtained and awarded statewide to offset the cost of Assembly Bill 109, which shifted many state responsibilities onto counties, including housing some offenders in county jails instead of state prisons. Wildomar incorporated July 1, 2008; Menifee incorporated Oct. 1, 2008; Eastvale incorporated Oct. 1, 2010 and Jurupa Valley incorporated July 1, 2011 – two days after SB 89 took effect. The newest city was the hardest hit financially, losing half the funds anticipated in its budget for its first fiscal year. Multiple attempts were made over the last six years to restore the lost money, but Brown vetoed every bill – even the ones that received overwhelming bipartisan support – citing budgetary concerns and inciting criticism that he was playing politics at the cities’ expense. Members of the Jurupa Valley City Council at one time discussed suing him over the revenue losses stemming from SB 89 and his refusal to sign other bills that would have restored the funds. The governor did approve onetime, short-term relief in the form of SB 107 in the fall of 2015. The bill granted authority to the California Department of Finance to provide $24 million in credits to Jurupa Valley, Menifee and Wildomar. Eastvale was excluded from the relief bill, prompting a lawsuit that was ultimately dismissed. The funds were to cover Riverside County’ s expenses providing law enforcement and fire services to the startup cities; all of which went into debt to the county during their initial years because they didn’t receive the anticipated VLF allocations. SB 130 will provide an ongoing stream of funding under a formula designed specifically to address the tax increment receipts they lost. The funds will be available in fiscal year 2017-18 and is not retro-active. Kim Harris contributed to this article.

to grow up to 12 marijuana plants on the grounds of a single-family dwelling. Up to 24 plants may be grown if there are two patients. A least one patient or caregiver must live on the property where the marijuana is grown. The political landscape shifted again when California voters in November legalized the recreational use marijuana by adults. Proposition 64 passed statewide with 57 percent of votes in favor. Riverside County voters were less enthusiastic, with nearly 53 percent of voters approving the measure. Support was tepid in Temecula, where 51 percent of voters were in favor of recreational marijuana use. Passage of the statewide measure has fueled another flurry of analysis and anticipated regulatory action. Temecula formed a two-member committee that is comprised of Naggar and Councilman Matt Rahn. The full council May 9, discussed what, if anything, the city should do in response to the November legalization vote and the anticipated state implementation actions. City staff and some council members recommended that Temecula take a “procedural pause” as the state decides how marijuana legalization will be implemented. Prop. 64 allows cities to use zoning and other means to ban or regulate marijuana sales within their boundaries. Nine audience members spoke during the two-hour council hear-

Riverside County Sheriff’s Department offers opportunities for citizen service the Sheriff’s Department contracted by both large incorporated cities and smaller unincorporated communities. This diversity ensures many volunteer opportunities to help the sheriff’s department.
Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
According to Riverside County Sheriff’s officials, public safety is everybody’s business and the department provides citizens with countless volunteer opportunities to serve their community. During last month’s Volunteer Appreciation week, sheriff’s officials from throughout Riverside County showed their volunteers appreciation with banquets, luncheons, presentations, gifts and in social media posts. “Our volunteers assist the San Jacinto Police Department with DUI checkpoints, special events, critical incidents, clerical, logistics and citizen’s patrol,” one sheriff’s San Jacinto Police Department official said. “We are very proud and so thankful for all of the hard work our volunteers do. We appreciate each and every one.” Sheriffs’ officials in other communities like Hemet and Temecula praised their volunteers as well. Covering more than 7,200 square miles and at roughly 180 miles wide Riverside County has terrain varying from desert landscapes to woodland areas and from lakes and rivers to rocky, mountainous areas. Each individual community’s needs are different in terms of population, surroundings and lifestyle with
Volunteers play a key role “Volunteers have always played a key role in law enforcement. By involvement in their community, citizens may determine the character of life at their own doorstep,” say Sheriff’s officials on the department’s website. “As the Sheriff of Riverside County, I fully believe in the value of the Citizen Volunteer Program and encourage you to join our law enforcement team,” Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff said. “There are many avenues available to you to fulfill this goal of making Riverside County a better and safer place to live.” The RSO has 10 patrol stations and five correctional facilities offering unique ways for volunteers to serve their communities including special opportunities for high school students, in the form of Law Enforcement Exploring. Volunteers are the departments’ ‘eyes and ears’ Regardless of a person’s individual abilities, age, experience, interest or skills, the sheriff’s department offers
Tom Moio fell down some stairs in May 2016
and since has been seen by multiple doctors who have yet to give him a definite diagnosis, but his condition has deteriorated rapidly. This issue has left him severely debilitated and unable to take care of himself and his family. These issues have left Tom, who is one of the good guys in this world, unable to work and the Moio family is in desperate need of our help. Tom recently had surgery that left him, as Tom classifies himself, as a quadriplegic, he cannot move his legs or left arm and can only slightly move his right hand/arm. These health issues are quickly robbing Tom and his family of the simple things in life that every family hopes for. Due to his current condition and the desire to bring Tom home from a nursing facility, the family will need everything from a handicap van, to physical therapy to a hospital bed, and much more. We need to take some action NOW.
We are raising money for Tom. Please go to www.gofundme.com/tommoio,
contribute what you can and share Tom’s story with anyone who can help.

a way for just about everyone to serve their community as volunteers. Depending on assignment, volunteer’s hours can be flexible. Volunteers can work a variety of assignments including clerical support, logistics, crime prevention, investigations, accounting, administrative duties, vehicle maintenance, data entry and many others. For those interested in playing a more proactive role in their communities, the department has volunteer opportunities including citizen’s patrols, the department’s Reserve Deputy Program and Neighborhood Watch programs. The department offers volunteer opportunities for those with more specialized skills with the Mounted Posse, Chaplain Corps, Dive Team and Search and Rescue Teams.
Search and Rescue Search and rescue teams are an “essential component” of the RSO. They are primarily responsible for all search and rescue missions involving lost or stranded persons within Riverside County and may called out to assist the California Mutual Aid System responding to other counties during natural disasters. “Riverside County Search and Rescue team members are highly trained for their environments,” officials explained. “They can be called into action at a moment’s notice, at any time day or night.” Volunteer search and rescue teams include Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit, Desert Search and Rescue, Blythe Search and Rescue Assist and Riverside County Search Dogs. Mounted Posse Sheriff’s Mounted Posse members assist with patrol, search and rescue, charity events, crowd control, parade detail and high-visibility, extra-patrol at special events such as Hemet’s Ramona Pageant, Coachella Fest, Temecula’s Balloon and Wine Festival and at malls during holidays. There are currently seven Mounted Posse Troops in the county, includ-
TEMECULA from page A-1 built together.” Edwards noted that the passage of the one cent sales tax resulted in 10 new law enforcement officers – two dedicated to the Homeless Outreach team, $2.3 million for road rehabilitation projects and $2.6 million on park and community facilities maintenance, including replacement of the synthetic turf at Birdsall Park and replacement of playground equipment throughout the city. Edwards reported that once again Temecula received the Distinguished Budget Award from the Government Finance Officers Association, the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. “Many large infrastructure projects are in the queue,” Edwards said. Projects include the $50 million Temecula Parkway Interchange, the widening of Butterfield Stage from Rancho California to La Serena with a new traffic signal, phase one of the Overland Drive extension, Margarita Road rehabilitation from Rancho California Road to Temecula Parkway, slurry sealing neighborhood roads and upgrading traffic signal controllers to synchronize with Cal Trans on- and off-ramp intersections to improve traffic flow. Edwards shared the trails and bikeways master plan is progressing with shared auto-cycle lanes, buffered bike lanes and a feasibility study for a “Waves to Wineries Trail” connecting wine country to the beach in Oceanside. Plans are underway for a pump track at Ronald Reagan Sports Park. Temecula’s Trail Master Plan received an American Planning Association award and is being considered for a state award. Thirty percent of Temecula’s population is under 18 years old. The city offers several youth workforce programs with real-life skills, including internships, youth in government, leadership academies, future physicians and lawyers programs, vocational programs and one of the largest annual college and vocational fairs in the area. The latter event attracts over 220 colleges, universities and vocational schools and over 8,000 visitors, Edwards noted. “A city is only as good as its school district, and Temecula Valley Unified School District is a huge reason why Temecula is successful,” she added. She recognized TVUSD for having the high-

ing the Cabazon, Hemet, Indio, Jurupa Valley, Lake Elsinore, Perris and Southwest Stations. The troops are comprised of more than 100 members who use their personal horses for the posse. Not all members of the mounted posse are riding members, according to sheriff’s officials, who explained many troops welcome volunteers who dedicate their time as ‘ground support.’ Police Explorer Scouts Police Explorer Scouts is a program administered by the Boy Scouts of America that gives young people between 14 to 21-years-old, a “handson look at what a career in law enforcement is really like” and offers “a great start to a law enforcement career,” explained sheriff officials. Police Explorer Scouts serve their est graduation rate in the county and the highest “A through G” completion rate of college-bound course requirements. Its schools are consistently ranked in the top 10 percent in the state. Edwards turned her attention to local development, citing plans for Uptown Temecula along the Jefferson Avenue corridor. “Uptown’s first project is the most beautiful auto spa you will ever see,” Edwards said. “The architecture is very reminiscent of our City Hall.” Edwards said, “The tourism sector has also taken notice of Uptown Temecula” with hotel applications on Jefferson for over 300 rooms, including Staybridge Suites and Hilton Garden Inn. Pechanga’s $285 million expansion, providing an additional 568 rooms, will be completed by the end of 2017. The tribe has also contributed $5 million toward the expansion of Pechanga Parkway and local roads as well as $9 million in funding for additional public safety. Edwards also discussed the Truax Hotel and Town Square Marketplace, which will add 78,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant space on the two lots in front of City Hall, the Stampede renovation and the Ambient Communities project, 270 acres west of Old Town, “with up to 1,500 residential units of varying sizes, a new elementary school and more.” She noted that there are 250,000 square feet of industrial buildings in the pipeline. She also said that senior living options will double in Temecula with a 510,000-squarefoot congregate care project in Harveston, the Generations project on Rancho Vista Road behind Linfield Christian School and the HighGate Senior Care facility on Rancho California Road. Rancho California Road will also be home to Aldi Food Market, currently under construction and a proposed 65,000-square-foot commercial center with an additional 160-unit apartment community. “Temecula retail does amazing,” Edwards said. “Our per capita retail sales rank in the top 15 percent in California. Edwards then congratulated Temecula Valley Hospital CEO Darlene Wetton for receiving an “A” grade for Patient Safety and Hospital Quality their second consecutive year. The hospital has been open for three and one-half years and is investing an additional $40 million to expand their cardiac, neurosciences and surgical op-
community in various ways such as helping with crowd and traffic control during special events, crime prevention programs, community outreach events and more. Once they are fully qualified, Explorers can even interact directly with officials and the citizens they serve during a ride-along with uniformed patrol deputies. During the ride-along, the Explorers “become an extra set of eyes and ears for the officers and assist them on various calls,” sheriffs’ officials explained. Anyone interested in volunteering with the sheriff’s department or who wants to know more about available volunteer positions is encouraged to visit the Riverside County Sheriff’s website or contact their local volunteer coordinator at www.riversidesheriff. org/volunteer/.
erations by another 28,000 square feet. This expansion brings their total investment in the community to nearly $200 million. They are directly responsible for over 750 jobs and indirectly responsible for another 130,000 square feet of medical office space near the hospital. “We have formed a Regional Cancer Services Task Force among our southwest cities, hospitals and health care professionals to assess how patients can take full advantage of the many quality cancer services offered in our region and what might be done to attract additional types of cancer services,” Edwards said. According to the state’s Economic Development Department, Temecula has the highest number of jobs in its history at nearly 53,000, Edwards said. Temecula’s unemployment rate of 3.9 percent is consistently lower than county, state and national rates. The Temecula Valley Entrepreneur Exchange incubator has housed 24 startup companies that have created a cumulative economic impact of over $4 million The tourism industry continues to thrive with 2.7 million visitors and travel spending reaching nearly $700 million, Edwards said. She also congratulated South Coast Winery as the four-time “State Winery of the Year,” Ponte Winery for being recognized by Trip Advisor as one of their Top Ten-rated hotels in the USA, The Restaurant at Leoness Cellars for being named “Best Restaurant” of the Inland Empire for four consecutive years and No. 1 Winery Restaurant by USA Today Reader’s Choice and the Flower Hill Bistro at Miramonte Winery for their recognition in that category. “We have award-winning breweries, too,” Edwards said, noting that, “Our nine craft breweries are making a name for themselves and winning medals at the National Beer Festival.” “We are thankful for the invaluable relationships created with our business community, local nonprofits and thousands of residents and volunteers who give their heart and soul to Temecula, its people and its causes,” Edwards said. Volunteerism and our nonprofit organizations play a vital role in the fabric of our community. Our local businesses are the forefront of Temecula’s success. Without you, Temecula would not be who we are today. Together, we look toward a bright future!”

These two drivers have proven how much they care about the children they transport on their buses.” The CHP took great pride in awarding the outstanding efforts of the selected drivers.

The student athletes were all invited to attend a breakfast hosted by the Citrus Belt Area Athletic Director’s Association, where they were honored for their outstanding seasons. Also invited
were the students’ parents, as well as their athletic directors, coaches and school principals. Two local student athletes, Drew Sims from Vista Murrieta’s baseball program, who is going to Utah Valley and Trey Johnson from Chaparral’s basketball program, who is going to Dartmouth, were also awarded with Citrus Belt Scholarships of $500 each. After the breakfast all of the students were sent home with awards to commemorate their achievements, as well as with a patch for their letterman jackets.

San Jacinto High School Alumnus Wins National Weightlifting Championship SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
SAN JACINTO - San Jacinto High School alumnus Sarah Robles won the women’s over-90-kilogram title at the USA Weightlifting National Championship this past weekend in Lombard, Illinois. Robles was successful in all six of her lifts at The Westin Lombard Yorktown Center. She opened the competition by lifting 110 kilograms in the snatch, then 115 kilograms and 120 kilograms. In the clean and jerk she lifted 140 kilograms, 145 kilograms and 150 kilograms. Each lifter is allowed three

Robles competed in some local weightlifting meets in 2004 and 2005 “and I fell in love with it,’’ she said. Robles received athletic scholarships from Alabama and Arizona State to compete in track and field, but changed those plans after her first season at Arizona State when she met weightlifting coach Joe Micela in 2008 and decided to abandon her throwing career to concentrate on weightlifting.

Robles’ 270-kilogram total was 55 kilograms greater than runner-up Shannon Beasley of Knoxville, Tennessee. The 28-yearold Robles won the bronze medal in women’s over-75-kilogram class in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the first medal by an American woman in weightlifting since 2000.

Lake Elsinore fishing report, catfish continue to bite der a float near rocky underwater structure and points. Largemouth bass bite is starting to heat up for boat anglers. Crank baits and Spinner baits have been getting the job done. Carp are also being caught in huge numbers on dough baits. Tip of the week; shore anglers set your drag before casting your line out. You might just go home with no fish and no rod as a result. Tight lines until next week. For more information, contact Williams Bait, Tackle and Boat Rentals at (951) 642-0640.

The catfish bite is still fair. While the bite slowed toward the weekend, bigger fish were reported being caught. The “Whopper of the week” came in at 14 pounds on fresh frozen shad. Several 8-10 pound fish were in the mix as well. Mac - Bites and shad were the baits that produced the most action for catching the catfish. Crappie is still being caught in moderate numbers.

Before the CIF San Diego Section change from playoff divisions based on enrollment to divisions based on competitive balance, a formula was put in place for CIF playoff ticket revenue in which the CIF received 70 percent, the home school received 20 percent, and the visiting school received 10 percent. A unanimous vote at the April 5 CIF Board of Managers meeting revised that formula for the first round of the Open Division football playoffs so that each school will receive 15 percent. The 2013 change to an alignment by competitive balance also created an Open Division for the top eight Division I teams. In a 12-team or 16-team playoff format, the teams seeded fifth through eighth received at least one playoff home game, but schools in the bottom half of the Open Division do not have a first-round home game. “In Open Division, more of those teams are traveling,” said CIF commissioner Jerry Schniepp. The formula of 20 percent for the home school and 10 percent for the visiting school was approved by the Board of Managers in June 2008. The rationale behind the home school receiving a greater share of playoff ticket revenues is that the home school has operational and administrative preparation expenses while the visiting team has only travel costs. The revenue formula only applies to admission tickets and not to concessions, but the school which hosts the game also receives concession revenue. The loss of concession revenue as well as the lower admission revenue share for Open Division teams playing a

first-round game on the road creates a difference between $2,000 and $5,000 for most schools. The formula before June 2008 distributed 50 percent to the CIF and 25 percent to each team. Increased costs to the CIF for facilities, as well as fall 2007 weather which decreased CIF football championship game attendance and thus CIF revenue, led to the increase in the share for the CIF as part of the adoption of the CIF’s 2008-09 budget. The Grossmont Conference proposed a change only for Open Division football playoffs. The original proposal was that the CIF received 60 percent and the home and visiting schools each received 20 percent. That led to concerns about CIF operating losses. “We are not operating at a surplus at this point,” Schniepp said. The proposal was modified so that the CIF retains 70 percent of the receipts and the home and visiting teams each receive 15 percent. The CIF Coordinating Council approved that modified proposal on a 28-0 vote March 1, with Frontier Conference president Cory Tatz recusing himself. “Another good example of a compromise,” said Schniepp. The April 5 Board of Managers meeting also included a first reading on a proposed change which would add a football playoff division to reduce the number of playoff rounds so that an earlier state playoff can be accommodated. If that proposal is approved May 24, the Open Division would consist of four teams, so the third and fourth seeds would have a road game and no possible home matches. The modified formula only applies for the first round of the Open Division playoffs. A school hosting the semifinals will still receive 20 percent while the visiting team will receive 10 percent. The championship games are played at a neutral site. The distribution of 20 percent for the home team and 10 percent for the visiting team will continue to be the case for other football divisions and for other sports.

CIF Southern Section baseball, softball playoff brackets announced JP Raineri SPORTS@REDEERMEDIA.COM
The California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section Softball Championship playoff pairings were released this week and much of the talk of Riverside County is being focused on the Norco softball program, ranked No.1 in the nation. The Lady Cougars are bringing into the postseason a 30-0 record, but enter Murrieta Mesa, who also has been getting a lot of attention, especially after only falling to Norco 1-0 earlier this season in a tournament game. Murrieta Mesa won a mustwin game Friday, May 12, punching their ticket to the post season for the first time in the program’s eight year history as they look to be a top contender in the Division 3 bracket. Despite taking third place behind Vista Murrieta (17-6-1) and Great Oak (15-7) in the very tough Southwestern League, the Lady Rams remained optimistic all season. The Southern Section has not had an undefeated champion in the top division since 1985, when Huntington Beach went 32-0 and now Norco needs four more victories to complete one of the most impressive seasons in history. Norco is just the second Inland team to enter the Division 1 playoffs with a spotless record. Colton went 22-0 during the regular season in 2001, but its season ended in the semifinals. The lady Cougars received the top seed and first-round bye in the Division 1 bracket and will host Vista Murrieta or Chino Hills in a second-round game Tuesday, May 23. Murrieta Mesa, making its first postseason appearance, is the No. 4 seed in Division 3. The Lady Rams (19-10) will travel to Temescal Canyon (18-10) later this week. The California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section baseball Championship playoff pairings were also announced earlier this week and 35 Inland area teams were selected to participate in the playoffs with wildcard games and first round action beginning this week. In Division 1, six Inland area programs got berths including this year’s Southwestern League champs, Vista Murrieta (21-8, 13-2). In Division 2, Sunbelt League champs, Paloma Valley, will host Woodbridge and Temescal Canyon plays at La Mirada. In the wildcard round, King travels to Murrieta Valley for a chance to move on to the

San Jacinto Unified High School’s holds College Signing Day event SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
SAN JACINTO – High school seniors from San Jacinto Unified publically committed to their college, trade school or the military at the district’s second annual College Signing Day event Monday, May 1, at the San Jacinto High School Gymnasium. National College Signing Day is an opportunity for community and school leaders to celebrate and support high school seniors who are planning to attend college, trade school or the military after they graduate. The local event was designed to celebrate seniors from San Jacinto High and Mountain View High, and their commitment to complete their education beyond high school. Inspired by our nation’s National College Athletic Association National Signing Day,
College Signing Day is designed to coincide with the time frame that most seniors must inform a college of their plans to enroll. The SJUSD event included guest speaker Marianna Vinson, a former SJUSD assistant superintendent of education services and, most recently, the former deputy director for the Office of English Language Acquisition with the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C. “Work hard… make good choices,” shared Vinson, along with her story on how she was able to attend Stanford University in spite of the poverty in her family. Vinson attended grade school in the San Jacinto Valley, but moved to the San Diego area where she completed high school in Chula Vista. She returned to the valley when she began a career in teaching

and continued upward in positions at SJUSD until taking a post in Washington, D.C. Representatives from local colleges, including Mt. San Jacinto College and University of California, Riverside, also attended the gym-filled event to celebrate SJUSD seniors. Seniors participated in a signing ceremony and were awarded a medallion signifying their commitment to post-
secondary education. “I am extremely proud of my daughter who is planning to attend UCR to study medicine with the four-year Hoyt Scholarship,” said Maria Torres, an SJUSD employee at Record Elementary who attended the event with her daughter, San Jacinto High senior Kaitlyn Torres. “My older daughter graduated a few years ago, before the district starting holding these signing
events,” continued Ms. Torres. “It was very special and very exciting, not only for us parents but also the kids,” she noted. In the past two years, over 90 percent of graduating seniors from San Jacinto High or Mtn. View High have stated their intent to attend a four-year university, a two-year college, enlisting in the military or attending a trade school after high school.

Regional cancer services task force moves forward, hires health assessment and research for communities Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
A coalition of county and city officials, public health officials, medical professionals, health care organizations, hospital administrators, university medical schools, cancer survivors, caregivers, and nonprofit organizations that provide cancer resources have formed a Regional Cancer Treatment Task Force to explore the various types of high-quality cancer services that exist or are missing in the area and to develop plans to address gaps, attract specialized oncologists and perhaps a specialized state-of-the-art cancer facility and to educate the community about available resources. In the first meeting Nov. 3, epidemiologist Salomeh Wagaw of Riverside University Health System presented statistics to the group illustrating that cancer is the secondhighest leading cause of death in California and more locally that 18 percent of deaths in Temecula are cancer-related. A few citizens diagnosed with cancer shared their stories of traveling out of the region for treatment and services. “Our Valley has grown tremen-
dously, yet residents who are faced with such a challenging disease are often faced with driving several hours roundtrip to Orange County or San Diego to receive ongoing specialized cancer treatment,” Temecula Mayor Pro-Tem Maryann Edwards said. “We need to ease the burden of those suffering from cancer and develop world-class cancer treatment and resource options in our own backyard.” A number of medical professionals and hospital administrators said that there are specialized services available locally, but that the public may not be aware of them. The task force agreed to address various topics including legislative, health care and insurance concerns, facilities, services and pharmaceutical needs, as well as possible economic incentives to attract medical groups, cancer professionals, physicians and philanthropy to invest in the region. The group plans to provide its recommendations in October 2017. In their second meeting, January 2017, the group determined that they needed a comprehensive listing of existing services and a gap analysis of missing services. To that end, they determined they needed a facilitator
and consultant capable of providing the needs assessment study. They put out a request for proposal, as well as a request for multi-agency funding. At the third meeting, April 20, Cheryl Kitzerow from the city of Temecula, reported that $85,000 in funding had been committed to the task force. The city of Temecula committed $20,000, the city of Lake Elsinore committed $10,000 and the city of Riverside committed $20,000 in utilized funds from the Western Riverside Council of Government’s Beyond Core program. The city of Menifee committed $7,500 and the city of Murrieta committed $7,500 in utilized funds from the WRCOG Beyond Health program. WRCOG that deals with issues affecting the region; its executive committee includes representatives from 17 cities, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors, the Eastern and Western Municipal Water Districts and the Morongo Band of Indians. Inland Empire Health Plan provided $20,000. Erica Russo from the city of Temecula reported on the selection process for the facilitator and consultant and explained that their selection, Health Assessment and Research for Communities could fulfill both
roles. HARC provided the first survey of health in the Coachella Valley in 2006 and has since served clients from coast to coast, including Kaiser and Susan G. Komen. Their expertise in needs assessment, the social determinants of health and data collection and analysis, were key factors in their selection. Russo introduced HARC CEO Jenna LeComte-Hinely, Ph.D.., who described their plan of attack to gather and collate secondary data of what exists, to design the needs assessment tools, to implement data collection for the community and provider surveys, to complete the data analysis and report generation and to develop an implementation plan based on findings. HARC plans on presenting the final report at the Nov. 17 meeting. During the public comments section, Natalie Flick, a single mother with three children, related her cancer experience with insurance challenges, her search for local neurosurgeons and the need for “standard of care” versus failure-based, trial-and-error treatment protocols. She also praised Michelle’s Place for its support services, noting however that “last year we lost seven girls.” JJ Petchel, whose wife Tonya was
diagnosed with Stage 4 liver cancer May 2015 and died Jan. 24, shared his wife’s story and his efforts to place Tonya’s Law as an initiative on the ballot for the November 2018 California General Election. The initiative seeks “to update state and federal law to more closely align and promote future cancer treatments, resulting in saving or prolonging more cancer patients’ lives.” It also promotes a public education movement to inspire cancer patients to seek DNA sequencing of their cancer for specific treatment options. For more information, visit www. tonyaslaw.org. Andrea Anderson, an office manager for a medical oncology practice, shared a number of issues: the Valley has a 20 percent higher incidence of cancer than other areas; that university-level care is available locally; that many are ignorant of the actual cost of cancer treatment; that many do not understand Medicare coverage and that the Valley needs a foundation to help patients with the cost of drugs and treatment. The next Regional Cancer Services Task Force meeting is May 25. For questions or concerns, contact HARC at (760) 404-1945.
Free screening of ‘Being Mortal’ June 27 at Michelle’s Place TEMECULA – Michelle’s Place is holding a free, community screening of the documentary “Being Mortal” on June 27 at 6:30 p.m. After the screening, audience members can participate in a guided conversation on how to take concrete steps to identify and communicate wishes about end-of-life goals and preferences. “Being Mortal” delves into the hopes of patients and families facing
terminal illness. The film investigates the practice of caring for the dying and explores the relationships between patients and their doctors. It follows a surgeon, Dr. Atul Gawande, as he shares stories from the people and families he encounters. When Gawande’s own father gets cancer, his search for answers about how best to care for the dying becomes a personal quest. The film sheds light on how a medical sys-
tem focused on a cure often leaves out the sensitive conversations that need to happen so a patient’s true wishes can be known and honored at the end. “Being Mortal” underscores the importance of people planning and talking with family members about end-of-life decisions. Seventy percent of Americans say they would prefer to die at home, but nearly 70 percent die in hospitals
and institutions. Ninety percent of Americans know they should have conversations about end-of-life care, yet only 30 percent have done so. In February 2015, “Being Mortal” aired nationally on the PBS program “Frontline.” For more information about the film, visit www.pbs.org/ wgbh/pages/frontline/being-mortal/. The film is adapted from Gawande’s 2014 nationally best-selling book of the same name. More information
about the book is at http://atulgawande.com/book/being-mortal/. The free screening is made possible by a grant from The John and Wauna Harman Foundation in partnership with the Hospice Foundation of America. For more information about the free screening, contact Michele at (951) 699-5455 or RSVP online at www.michellesplace.org/seminarrsvp.

Political activists deliberately distort the GOP’s take on healthcare, says AMAC Association of Mature American Citizens SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
WASHINGTON, DC – “The impotence and the impudence of obstructionists on the issue of Obamacare came to the fore earlier this week when spokesman Jonathan Gruber had the nerve to once again tell a bald-faced lie on national TV,” says Dan Weber, president of the Association of Mature American Citizens. “Gruber is the so-called Obam-
acare architect who, in 2014, blamed ‘the stupidity of the American voter’ for the passage of President Obama’s Affordable Care Act. It was an admission that proponents of the law lied to the American people in order to get their support for the law. During a live television interview last Sunday, the incorrigible Mr. Gruber tried to put the blame for the law’s failure on President Trump, even though Mr. Trump has been in office less than four months. He told a national TV audience that it was Mr. Trump’s fault that insurance
companies were pulling out of the Obamacare exchanges. But, this is not about Gruber; it is about the desperation of the left to preserve Mr. Obama’s legacy. And, it is about the pathetic lies circulating about Republican efforts to provide the nation with a healthcare law that will put patients back in charge of their care.” Weber says that political activists are deliberately distorting the GOP’s take on healthcare. For example, he notes, those opposed to the Republican’s American Health Care Act have been spreading fear by

implying the law will deny coverage to individuals with pre-existing conditions. He points out that the AHCA explicitly protects those with pre-existing conditions. “Meanwhile, we are led to believe that, under Obamacare, anyone with a pre-existing health condition can get insurance, that if you want a health insurance policy you can go to an insurance agent and get a policy today if you want. But, the reality is that if you have a medical history, you cannot get a policy today, tomorrow or the next day. That’s because Obamacare only guarantees that you’ll get a policy (with some minor exceptions) during the open enrollment period, which starts on Nov. 1 and ends Dec. 15. And then, you will also have a waiting period of at least two weeks before coverage starts.” Weber admits that the GOP healthcare law allows states to apply for waivers exempting them from the rules guaranteeing coverage, but they would need to provide suitable alternatives. In other words, the states would have to provide a safety net for persons with histories of bad health in order to be entitled to a waiver. He cites a report on the Republican proposal prepared by Yuval Levin, the Hertog Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C. “The extent of the waivers is constrained, in light of the political pressures involved, though it would allow for some meaningful variation and experimentation with insurance rules. If they show that their proposed alternative rules would reduce premi-
ums, increase coverage, or otherwise strengthen insurance markets, states can request to waive the age bands on premiums starting next year. They can set their own essential health benefits (and therefore can recover the right to define insurance coverage in their jurisdictions to a significant degree) starting in 2020. And, if a state has established a highrisk pool or similar mechanism for covering people with pre-existing conditions, it can allow insurers to consider health status when pricing coverage for people who have not been continuously insured.” AMAC’s Weber believes that in the end cooler heads will prevail. “The AHCA passed muster in the House in its current form and is now in the hands of the Senate where significant revisions and improvements will be made. So, before we go off half-cocked, let’s wait and see what the final legislation looks like, lest we put our fate in the hands of Mr. Gruber and his dissident colleagues. The American voter is not stupid, as Gruber stated. And, our Republican president and lawmakers are not to blame for the debacle that is Obamacare.

Temecula Valley Unified School District is resolving English language instruction civil rights complaint Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
An alleged civil rights complaint filed against Temecula Valley Unified School District’s English Learner programs in its middle schools is being resolved through an agreement with the Office of Civil Rights signed by TVUSD Superintendent Tim Ritter April 7. The OCR Resolution Agreement will reinstate designated English Learner instruction in the district’s middle schools that were eliminated in 2014 in favor of “Common Core Discovery Replacement” classes. It will also insure better teacher and district communication with the English as a second language students and their non-English speaking parents and will permit EL special education students to participate in the classes. The complaint, filed April 10, 2014, by the parent of an English language learner at Bella Vista Middle School through AsianAmerican Advancing Justice in Los Angeles, alleged the middle school had eliminated all English language services during the spring semester. As a result, the complaint alleged, the EL students were not receiving equal access to the educational program in that school required by the California public education law. It was noted that Bella Vista, rather than working in the its EL
students with the “Common Core Discovery Replacement” program, allegedly had eliminated all its EL programs when there still were a number of EL students enrolled at the school. The other middle schools in the district continued to conduct some EL classes under the new program, but had cut back the instruction offerings and not retained some of its more experienced EL teachers for the new program. With that the OCR, which is an office of the U.S. Department of Education, launched an investigation into the complaint. Before the completion of the investigation and before a “compliance determination” was reached, TVUSD expressed an interest in resolving the complaint. The district submitted the OCR Resolution Agreement April 7 that when implemented is intended to resolve the issues of non-compliance and other concerns, according to the California Department of Education. The agreement will require the district to create an EL Coordinating Committee made up of an EL expert knowledgeable in the development and implementation of effective ESL programs, a district administrator with EL education experience, two or more certificated teachers with English language development experience, two or more parents of EL students
and at least one member of the district English Learner Advisory Committee. The names of those on the committee must be announced by June 30. The district will continue to revise its master plan to describe a comprehensive program of English language services and instruction that meets Title VI standards. Title VI states that no person in the U.S. shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied of the benefits of or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. It will assure that all schools in the district will be in compliance with the master plan and that input on the plan comes from members of the EL Coordinating Committee. The plan needs to be in place within 30 days after the beginning of school year 2018-2019. The master plan must insure that all English language learners in the district from the elementary to the high school level be identified and assessed to determine the extent of their needs including those with disabilities. The students with disabilities will receive instruction with non-disabled student to the maximum extent possible with their disability. The OCR Resolution also requires the district to hire teach-
ers with specialized training and experience in EL education to accommodate the needs of the EL assessed students in the district. It will also require the district to provide an extensive report on its progress in implementing the resolution. This requirement will involve the district providing a list of all EL students in each of the middle schools with the students name and ID number, home language, most recent California English Language Development Test Score, entry date, name of teacher responsible for providing ELD instruction, class schedule, name of class and their special education status by Sept. 30. Also, the report will include the English language arts specialists’ job description, a current master schedule for the middle schools, a course outline for the “Discovery Class” at each middle school and a complete description of the EL services provided.

During the school year when the complaint was filed, TVUSD enrolled approximately 30,000 students, of whom 2.745 were English learner students. About 70 percent of the EL students spoke Spanish; the remainder spoke a variety of languages including Filipino, Vietnamese and Arabic. The total district population and the overall proportion of EL students had not changed significantly since that time according to the district and Department of Education reports. In 2013-2014, the district enrolled 6,445 students in its six middle schools of whom 270 students, or 4.2 percent, were EL learners. By 2015-2016, the middle school enrollment had increased to 6,551, and EL enrollment increased to 369 students, or 5.6 percent.

Geek Experts Tech Talk from Geeksstore.com Ransomware: Don’t pay, defend yourself Jason Roman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
The latest ransomware cyberattack, known as “WannaCry,” is affecting hundreds of thousands of computers in over 150 countries worldwide. The malicious extortion scheme infects computers, locks files and encrypts data, effectively paralyzing businesses and causing widespread breakdowns. Early victims of the ransomware include Britain’s hospital network, Russia’s Interior Ministry, Spain’s Telefonica, Germany’s national railway, FedEx in the U.S., and scores of other companies and government agencies, including over 30,000 institutions in China. This ransomware takes advantage of a vulnerability in the Windows operating system on PC’s that was exposed by the National Security Agency; those documents were then leaked online earlier this year. Microsoft distributed a patch two months ago, however many organizations have not yet installed it. One click on an infected attachment or bad link could lead to all computers on a network becoming infected. If your computer or organization is running a version of Windows, you may be at risk. What should you do? Individual Computers: 1. Run Windows update and get the latest software updates. 2. Update your anti-virus and fire-
wall programs, run a scan and set it to auto-scan. 3. Back up important data to an external or off-network source Corporate Organization: 1. Apply the latest Microsoft patches 2. Scan all emails (incoming/ outgoing) for malicious attachments 3. Backup key data regularly 4. Update anti-virus and firewall software and scan regularly 5. Educate employees on how to identify potential risks If your system is already infected, do not pay the ransom! Paying the ransom (starting at $300 or more in online bitcoin currency) will not ensure a fix. Isolate the infected machine(s) from the network and especially from your servers. Contact law enforcement (FBI) and provide as much information as possible. Run the latest anti-virus scan. Perform a “system restore” to a point well before the infection. Install latest Microsoft updates. Restore data from backup sources.

Temecula business steps up and helps Make-A-Wish collect shoes Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire is currently hosting a shoe drive for the region. Three months into the fundraiser, they have reached out to gyms, schools and individuals to donate their used sports shoes. After teaming up with Angel Bins, a for-profit recycling company, they have been working to raise money for the local charity. Wish Ambassador and speaker Bryan Allen of Temecula is introducing the yearly fundraiser as he has successfully the past two years. In the first year’s campaign, Allen and his team raised $5,000 and granted a wish for a child in Hemet through collecting shoes and loose change. Allen and his family are grateful for the organization’s reach, since his son Adam received a wish back in 2009 while undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. The inoperable brain tumor on his brain stem would not allow Adam to pursue his passion of football. Make-A-Wish helped grant Adam’s wish by coordinating for Adam to lead for the Green Bay Packers. Thankfully, now the tumor has been deemed noncancerous. He underwent surgery and only needs a MRI every six months as a precaution. Bryan Allen’s wife, daughter and son are all motivated volunteers for Make-A-Wish, eagerly helping to grant more wishes these past seven years. “We love giving back to this in-

credible organization because they do so much and it truly is one of the best organizations for children,” Allen said. Angel Bins donates $1.25 per pound for all the shoes collected. Their service also cleans the donated shoes and ships them to thirdworld countries in South America and Africa. Make-A-Wish aims to reach 2,000 pounds of shoes and raise $5,000 to help grant a wish for a child with a life-threatening medical condition. They have already collected 700 pounds of shoes through the Running Center shop in Temecula. The Running Center has assisted in collecting gently used athletic shoes and donating them to the Angel Bins Shoe Recycling Center on
behalf of Make-A-Wish. Pechanga Casino and Resort, Fitness 19, Butterfield Stage Self Storage, Saint Jeanne De Lestonnac, Vail Ranch Middle School and Great Oak High School also have either helped collect or are committed to help the cause. The community shoe-collecting campaign continues until July 31. Vail Ranch Middle School and Great Oak High School are donating through advertising to campus physical education classes, asking students to donate their shoes from the class for the drive. To help Make-A-Wish Orange County and the Inland Empire, donate gently used sports shoes, excluding metal cleats, to the Running Center, 28751 Rancho California Road, Suite 107 in Temecula.
Prepare your children for the real world by turning monthly bills into lessons Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
When you’re a kid, a few dollars can seem like all the money in the world. It can take weeks, sometimes months, to save up your allowance. When you finally decide to spend it, you might realize that $10 or $20 isn’t as much as it seems. As a parent, you can help your children build important money management skills by providing experiences for them at a young age. Leading by example is a good way to start, and it can help instill good values and money habits. However, you’ll also want your children to get their hands dirty. Open up your books. The value of money is a lesson you learn over time. For young children, games, such as Peter Pig’s Money Counter, or activities that help them identify coins and bills could be a good place to start. Older children may be ready to see how much things really cost. Going over bank or credit card statements, you could explain why you made each purchase and look for savings opportunities. You can also turn a monthly bill into a teaching moment. Children might not realize how leaving the lights, heat or air conditioner on can affect your monthly bills. You can sit down together and compare each month’s bill to the bill from the previous year. The practice of reviewing and comparing bills can help children understand that their actions have financial consequences. They’ll also start to learn how much it costs to keep your home comfortable. That’s a valuable lesson, one I didn’t truly learn until I had my first apartment. You could
take a similar approach to the groceries or other monthly expenses. Help your children earn an income. Knowing the numbers is only part of the picture. It’ll be difficult for children to practice managing money if they don’t have any money to manage. But how, when and why children should receive an allowance is a debate for many parents. Whether you pay a chore-based allowance or offer payment based on extra work, you could use a personal finance app that lets children see how much they’ll earn for each task. There are a variety of apps designed for different age groups, and some let children create virtual accounts where they can track their earnings, spending and progress toward financial goals. You can also help children find ways to earn money from outside the family. Organizing a yard sale could be a chance for them to help you clean out the home, practice bargaining and learn valuable lessons in entrepreneurship. Even a lemonade stand or bake sale requires that they buy supplies, work to earn money and put aside some of their earnings to pay for more supplies later. Make your children responsible for their bills. With a steady income comes increased responsibility. Make teenagers the boss of a bill, with real consequences for
late payments. The mobile phone or internet bill could be a good place to start. Figure out an appropriate portion for them to take on and require them to pay you each month. If they’re late, they lose internet access or their phone until they can pay their balance. When they don’t have enough saved to pay the bill, offer work opportunities for them to make money. Once they take responsibility for their first monthly bill, you can also share how you manage the household’s finances. Show them what it’s like to keep multiple bills organized each month, make payments by writing checks or setting up auto-pay. Then explain how late payments can lead to fees, affect your credit and just like with their phone get services shut off. The bottom line is that understanding how much it costs to manage a home and the importance of paying your bills on time can help you avoid costly mistakes. Some people learn these lessons once they’re at college or living on their own, but you can help give your children a leg up by taking a proactive approach to their financial education.

EVMWD has received the recognition for 24 consecutive years. “EVMWD is honored to, once again, have been recognized in the top tier of financial reporting,” Harvey Ryan, president of the EVMWD board of directors, said. “With fine attention to detail and dedication to excellence, the
EVMWD finance team continually displays our commitment to transparent reporting to our customers.” The GFOA is a nonprofit organization founded in 1906 to represent public finance officials throughout the United States and Canada. The comprehensive annual financial report includes audited financial statements and notes, an independent auditors report, an analytical overview of EVMWD’s financial activities and general information about EVMWD. EVMWD provides service to more than 144,000 water, wastewater and agricultural customers in a 96-square mile area in western Riverside County. The district is a subagency of the Western Municipal Water District and a member agency of the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

The clock is ticking Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
This year over 2,800 bills, an excessive number in my view, were introduced in Sacramento. Many have a fiscal impact, which means they must be referred to the Appropriations Committee, the last stop for fiscal bills before they are presented to the full Assembly or
Senate for a final floor vote. With so many bills to consider, the Appropriations Committee Chair and Vice Chair often agree to refer noncontroversial bills costing under $150,000 to the consent calendar so that passage can be expedited. All others will be placed on the Appropriations Suspense File, so that they can be reviewed more thoroughly by the committee.
Even bills with overwhelming bipartisan support sometimes fail to pass Appropriations, which has become known as a place good bills go to die. May 26, the final day for Appropriations to report a bill to the floor is rapidly approaching, which means there is a lot of nail biting going on right now in Sacramento. Other looming deadlines in-
clude June 2, the date bills must pass their house of origin in order to be considered by the alternate house, June 15, the deadline for passage of a balanced budget for the 2017-2018 fiscal year, and Sept. 15, the day we finally adjourn for the year and the last day to approve all legislation. Bills that aren’t finalized this year may become two-year bills, which can
be considered early next year. Once we adjourn, Governor Brown will have a month to sign or veto all bills. In the end, the fate of legislation approved by the combined votes of 80 Assemblymembers and 40 Senators will depend on one man and his veto pen, Governor Jerry Brown.

Three arrested in connection with alleged Temecula burglaries TEMECULA – Three Bellflower men were arrested Saturday, May 13, in connection with a string of commercial burglaries in Temecula, authorities said. The burglaries occurred early this morning in the south end of
Temecula, said Temecula police Sgt. Steve Fredericks. “A vigilant citizen observed one of these burglaries in progress and called 911,” Fredericks said. Officers located and detained three men who tried to flee the
scene in a vehicle, he said. They connected the three men to nine burglaries of Temecula restaurants, including stealing cash from donation boxes, Fredericks said. The three suspects were booked at the Southwest Detention Center,
he said. They were identified as Darrell Daniels, Jr. 18, Tywane Shelmon, 19 and Christopher Wheeler, 19. They were booked for suspicion of second-degree burglary and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Wheeler and Shelmon were released on $10,000 bail with a July 7 court appearance set, according to sheriff’s inmate records. Daniels remained in custody in lieu of $10,000 bail and was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.
Family says body of missing Winchester man found in French Valley FRENCH VALLEY – Family members are grieving the loss of a 45-year-old Winchester man whose body was found in French Valley Sunday, May 14, ending a nearly two-week search for the teacher and former Indio resident. Alfredo “Fredo” Rodriguez was last seen alive around 9:30 a.m. May 2, walking on Cottonwood
Street in Winchester, according to his family. He disappeared from his home without notifying anyone, leaving his wallet, phone and keys behind, and had not been seen or heard from since, according to his relatives. The family organized and coordinated extensive search efforts via the media and online platforms,
circulating Rodriguez’s photograph and disseminating information regarding his disappearance. Deputies reported finding the body of a man matching Rodriguez’s description near Cottonwood Drive and Washington Street in French Valley Sunday afternoon. The Sheriff’s Department has not indicated whether or not foul play
is suspected. “The family would like to thank you for all the prayers and efforts that have been put into his search,” family members said in a statement released Sunday. “It’s with a heavy heart that we want to inform you that there is no longer a search in progress for Alfredo Rodriguez. He is with the Lord now. At this point,
the family asks to please keep them in your prayers and respect their privacy during this difficult time.” A former teacher at Indio’s Shadow Hills High School and Coachella’s Cahuilla Desert Academy, Rodriguez was recently hired by the Lake Elsinore Unified School District and moved to Winchester last year.
Man allegedly chokes mother, fights with deputies, during violent Mother’s Day incident Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
A woman was assaulted and her adult son was arrested after the 30-year-old man attacked and choked his mother Sunday, May 14. The violent Mother’s Day assault happened at the Rancho De Anza Mobile Home Park in the 24000 block of Highway 74 in
the unincorporated community of Valle Vista. After an investigation, deputies arrested David Lee Brown, of Hemet. He was booked into the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning. Deputies responded to the mobile home park shortly before 11 a.m., after receiving a 911 call from a person reporting a physical confronta-
tion between a mother and son. When deputies arrived, Brown reportedly became highly agitated and began fighting with deputies at the scene. During the confrontation, deputies put out an emergency call for assistance, which was answered by another deputy and several Hemet PD officers who rushed to the location to assist the deputies. Before officers arrived at the
mobile home park, deputies at the scene managed to subdue and detain the violently resisting man for further investigation. After Brown was in custody, deputies summoned Cal Fire/Riverside County firefighters and American Medical Response medics to the park to evaluate and treat him for any injuries he may have received during the scuffle.
An online jail records search revealed Brown was booked on suspicion of battery on a peace officer and is being held on $10,000 bail. It was not known if additional charges related to the originally reported battery would be added to Brown’s charges or if those allegations were unfounded. He was scheduled to be arraigned at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta May 17.
911 calls force temporary lockdown at three schools Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Several Hemet area schools were placed on temporary lockdown after law enforcement officers received 911 calls in connection with one of the schools, Monday, May
8. Officials lifted the lockdowns just after 1:20 p.m., according to a school district official. There were no reported injuries or incidents related to the short lock down. The incident began when faculty members from Tahquitz High School “were informed by law en-
forcement that 911 calls were made in connection with the school,” Hemet Unified School District spokeswoman Alexandrea Cass said. “Rancho Viejo Middle School and Cawston staff wanted to err on the side of caution and went
on a temporary lockdown,” Cass explained. Many parents and Hemet residents took to social media discussing police activity seen in and around the schools. Officials eventually gave the all-clear for the schools to remove
the lockdowns. “The lockdown at Tahquitz was lifted at 1:22,” Cass explained. “Rancho Viejo and Cawston immediately followed.” After the lockdowns, the affected schools returned to “regular business,” according to Cass.
When firefighters arrived, they discovered that the fire was actually burning in a house south of the church, he said. As a precaution, firefighters set up fire streams to protect the church. It took 19 firefighters about 30 minutes to extinguish the fire that resulted in the “total loss’’ of the
building, according to Corelli. The house had been declared a historic site by the City of Murrieta, but was in disrepair at the time of the fire, Corelli said. However, the city had been in the process of coming up with a plan to preserve the structure, he said.
Fire burns historic house in Murrieta MURRIETA – A fire destroyed an unoccupied, historic house Saturday, May 13, in Murrieta. The fire was reported shortly after 2 a.m. in the 24000 block of Washington Avenue, and was initially believed to be burning in a church, said Matt Corelli of the Murrieta Fire Department.

Lake Elsinore’s Art on Main Thursday, May 11, was a sight to behold. Families, children, couples and even singles meandered down Main Street in the city’s Historic Downtown enjoying artwork, musical performances and even stopping into one of the many restaurants for a bite to eat. The entire event gave off the vibe of days’ past as neighbors chatted, children played and strangers greeted each other with smiles. The vendor-lined streets offered everything from glass bottles spun with yarn and bottle cap flowers to hand-painted artwork worthy of that coveted spot over the fireplace mantle in any home. Craft tables for the youngsters or young at heart were crowded as a group of young girls worked together to make Mother’s Day cards for their mothers using magic markers, paint and everything in between. Held on the second Thursday of every month from 6-9 p.m., Art on Main is just one of the many opportunities that the city of Lake Elsinore is offering for the community to come together in a relaxing and friendly environment that is welcoming for all who choose to participate.
According to Jonathan Skinner, the city’s director of community services, the efforts to bring the downtown area back to life are paying off. “Just eight months ago at 7 o’clock at night there would be no one in the downtown area. But look out there now and what do you see,” he asked as he gestured to the nearly full dirt parking lot across from the city’s Cultural Center. “People are coming out to enjoy everything that our city has to offer and it’s a beautiful sight.” In what can only be called a Renaissance, the city’s downtown area is thriving with business, thanks in part to the efforts of the Lake Elsinore City Council and staff. Now boasting a variety of restaurants, two antique shops and everything from an ice cream store to a costume shop, the flourishing Main Street area has become a popular destination for tourists and residents alike. Rusticana, Stadium Pizza and Maska California Bistro Cuisine, along with Main Street’s newest resident, Don Mere’s, join Main Street Kitchen & Tap, Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Vicenzo’s Olive Tree in offering a variety of food choices for those looking for a bite to eat. Plenty of shops line the street to give visitors to the quaint

downtown area plenty to do and see. An Artist’s Detour and a new parking structure are also planned for the downtown area. “The city for the last several years has made an effort to put some focus and time into attracting people to our downtown so that businesses, events, visitors really see our Historic Downtown as a charming exciting place that we want to be filled with people,” Lake Elsinore Senior Management Analyst Nicole Dailey explained. “So we started to look for ways to engage with our local community groups and started to have more
events down here to attract people downtown to fill our streets.” Art on Main is just one event that the city has come up with to accomplish that goal. Another popular event on Main Street is the Classic Car Cruise nights. Held on the last Saturday of the month in June, July, August and September, the free event, which runs from 4-8 p.m., is open to all and brings in car enthusiasts from all over Southern California. “The car cruises really brought a lot of people down last summer as well,” Dailey said. “We are starting to have these regular downtown events. Between the food and activities, we have seen Lake Elsinore come alive with activity and that is just what we had hoped for.” The city is now looking at bigger projects that “could truly transform” Historic Downtown, Dailey said. “Main Street is becoming the heart of the city,” Dailey said. “It’s a place where you can come down and walk along the charming sidewalks and visit little unique stores and have a good meal with your friends and family and just enjoy the outdoors together in an area that is quaint and safe.” Grace Sandlin, treasurer for Studio 395, which is spearheading the Artist’s Detour project with the
city, said that she believes having a city center where residents can congregate is important to the identity of a city. “Art is an economic stimulus for any community so events such as Art on Main and the Artist’s Detour are a visual safety net for downtown,” she said. “Every community needs a focal point where they congregate, and we want downtown, which is a wonderfully historic town, to have a footprint that is evolving to the next generation. The heart of a city is so important, and we are hoping that coming out of this, Lake Elsinore has the feeling of a small town, while creating that area where families, friends and residents can come together as a community.” Dailey, who calls Lake Elsinore’s historic Downtown Main Street “authentic” and “unique,” said that the city has always understood they have an “amazing asset” in the heart of the city that can be a destination for shopping, recreation and dining. “It’s becoming that, and we are thrilled to see that businesses, the development community, our residents and even visitors are beginning to take notice that Downtown Main Street in Lake Elsinore is the place to come and spend your time on a weekend or any day of the week,” she said.

Perhaps the most popular way to eat avocados is in guacamole, a dish first created by the Aztecs in the area now known as Mexico. Guacamole is featured on the menu for many events, especially Super Bowl Sunday and Cinco de Mayo. To make this dish, avocados are peeled, cut in half, pitted and chopped, then mashed with tomatoes, onion, garlic, lemon or lime juice, chili or cayenne pepper, cilantro or basil and jalapeno for those who like it hot. Fallbrook resident George Bamber was known for his guacamole, which he sold at events all over Southern California besides Fallbrook’s annual Avocado Festival In a Village News article published April 19, 2007, Bamber talked about how he came up with a name for his avocado dish. He said he had first-time guacamole buyers who would come for samples every year. Over the years, he discovered that people who had no intention of buying guacamole would still come to taste it. Bamber said in the article that these people would usually walk away, then return chewing and say, “I’ve gotta buy some of that.” Offering those samples raised his sales about 30 percent, and the buyers’ comments have helped develop the company’s name. “When people had the samples, they would taste it and say, ‘God, is that good!’” recalled Bamber.
His sense of humor came up with the trademark name: Holy Guaca-Moly. By 2007, Holy Guaca-Moly had won more than 20 major awards. According to the article, Bamber believed there were three reasons why his guacamole is such a huge hit. First, it is kept chunky in texture and is never pureed. Secondly, he only used Haas avocados, and lastly, plastic wrap, rather than lemon juice, is used to keep the guacamole from turning brown. The plastic is placed directly on the guacamole’s surface to prevent oxidation. The article went on and said, “Being an expert in avocados and guacamole, Bamber observed that what makes great guacamole is not the ripeness of the fruit but rather the oil content. He maintains that the highest oil content is found in the Haas avocado.” Bamber was a part the Fallbrook Avocado Festival since the second year of its inception until he died last January. A memorial bench will be installed in his honor at Main Avenue and Fig Street in Fallbrook later this year. That corner is where the original Holy Guaca-Moly booth was always located; there are now also Holy Guaca-Moly booths at the north and south ends of the festival each year.

Pinnacle restaurant at Falkner Winery.
TEMECULA – Eating great healthy food and having a wonderful time mark the theme of the new spring and summer menu at the Pinnacle Restaurant at Falkner Winery. Having been voted “Best Restaurant” for 2007-2017 by readers of Inland Empire Magazine, the Pinnacle Restaurant at Falkner Winery continues to impress and improve. The Pinnacle launched many new menu items that are consistent with the Mediterranean diet April 28. Mediterranean cooking involves the use of more olive oils, fruits, nuts, seafood and wine. Menu items consistent with the diet are highlighted on the menu. New executive chef Jason Barradas and his staff have introduced numerous delicious and unique new items to the menu while retaining many of the guest favorites. The new menu includes some new and revamped offerings organized as small plates, large plates, entrées and desserts. Staying with their Mediterranean and American food theme, Barradas also introduces new small plates of fried artichoke served with cherry tomatoes on a bed of sweet salad with lemon caper aioli and roasted fennel ahi which is seared blackened ahi with roasted fennel on a bed of baby arugula, cabbage and heirloom tomatoes dressed with a
chili-orange gastrique sauce. Large plates include many of the salads and pastas previously on the menu including the signature lobster macaroni and cheese dish remain, but he added a wild boar Bolognese with braised wild boar and ground beef, garlic, shallots, Pomodoro sauce, fresh basil and Parmesan cheese served over pappardelle pasta. Barradas also added some new entrees to the menu including pesto salmon which is seared, oven roasted and topped with pesto, sauteed artichokes and baby heirloom tomatoes and served with roasted fingerling potatoes drizzled with saba. Plus, a new Black Angus burger was added to the menu: a chipotle ranch bacon burger with Black Angus beef, bacon, Swiss cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato and a chipotle-ranch sauce. Finish your meal with the new dessert of strawberry shortcake made with housemade strawberry sauce, vanilla whipped cream and basil oil. In addition, many of these great new items can be made gluten-free or vegan on request. The Pinnacle has an extensive list of Falkner wines to accompany all their dishes with specific wine recommendations for each item. Seven craft beers are also available. Also, the Pinnacle continues to offer a “weekend special” with
a different entree each month and special preparations each week, available Friday through Sunday. From their beautiful hill-top location, diners at the Pinnacle can relax in either in-door, airconditioned comfort or outside balcony dining while enjoying the spectacular views of Temecula Wine Country.

flavors. When in the tasting room, guests can see the latest awards given to the wines that have been carefully curated and can then sample them to see just why this winery has become a favorite of many. There are endless wine choices to be made; if a guest is new to wine tasting, the pourers at Maurice Car’rie are happy to help figure out what flavors a guest is most likely to enjoy. If guests would like to sample the ever-expanding wines from Maurice Car’rie before they are offered in the wine room, joining the wine club may be in order. Wine club members are able to sample the latest flavors well before everyone else, and Sais works with members to make sure that they fully enjoy the membership experience. As an added layer of decadence, guests can also order the famous sourdough bread filled with Brie. The cheesy, garlicky bread is meant to be shared with up to five close friends and has its own fanbase. While guests can order their bread at the winery, some know to call ahead so that it’s warm and ready to eat upon arrival. The gooey treat can be enjoyed at the winery or can be taken home to be enjoyed.
Regardless of where it’s eaten, the sourdough bread filled with Brie is a must -try dish at Maurice Car’rie. Maurice Car’rie also offers guests a chance to do some shopping while wine tasting as well. From Fridays to Sundays, a craft fair is held in front of the lawn. Everything from small gifts to personal items like handmade soaps and lotions are available for purchase. The wares are all sold by small businesses, so guests can feel proud knowing that they are helping another Temecula local achieve their goals. For those looking for fun, live music is offered at the winery every other Saturday of the month during the summer. Favorite local performers play to guests as they dance the night away on the dance floor. There’s always a diverse variety of music, but it’s all meant for having a great time. Maurice Car’rie Winery is located at 34225 Rancho California Road in Temecula Valley wine country and is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For information about the winery, call (951) 6761711 or visit www.mauricecarriewinery.com.

When visiting Temecula’s wine country, guests traditionally plan to visit several wineries as a way to get a full experience of what the area has to offer. Because of how many wineries there are in the area, a long weekend might still not be enough to enjoy all of the wines that are grown, fermented and bottled in the area. However, there is one winery that should be included in every winery trip – it has everything from the sweet and decadent to award-winning wines – Maurice Car’rie Winery, located in the heart of Temecula Valley’s wine country. The winery has a rustic farmhouse appeal with a wooden deck wrapping around the winery, rosebushes dotting the pathways, windmill lazily spinning and lush lawns for picnics greet all as they enter. Guests are highly encouraged to bring a picnic basket and lounge on the property, sample a few of the wines and purchase a bottle of wine or two to savor. Under the watchful eye of winemaker Renato Sais, many of Maurice Car’rie’s wines have won recognition for their complex

Temecula Valley Historical Society meeting focuses on handwriting to determine personalities

MENIFEE – Harmony Morrison believes the truth should never be sugar-coated and she works hard to convey the message through her art. That honesty has resulted in her being honored as Arts Council Menifee’s Artist of the Month for May. “My inspiration comes from my surroundings; even in the early years, I felt I needed to encourage people to think for themselves,” Morrison, 22, said. “I try to show true happiness and real aspects of life in my work.” She is a multimedium artist that expresses creativity through painting, drawing, sculpting, writing and music composition.

“My subject matter focuses on natural life, spiritual life and helps offer peace from within. I create energy and wrap it in color,” Morrison of Fallbrook said. “My career is art. And healing. And teaching. I go where I am needed, and I show light where it seems dark.” She joined Arts Council Menifee about a year ago and has readily volunteered to assist in all its visual arts events, including setting up the gallery and participating in art shows. “Let me tell you, there’s something sublime about a room full of artists,” Morrison said. “The energy is looser; the laughs are louder. And the ideas never stop growing.” Although she took a few high school art classes and painted a mural during her senior year, Morrison is mostly self-taught in the mediums that she uses. Her decision to take her art to a professional level came when she sold her first painting. “I decided to put one painting in a gallery my senior year, and I got a call a month or so later saying it sold,” Morrison recalled. “It was a huge confidence booster to hear someone wanted to look at my art every day. I love to create, and I don’t think there is a person out there that doesn’t want to love the way they make their income.” She shows her works at all the Menifee art shows, and during Arts Council Menifee’s spring/summer show April 2, she won the Viewers’ Choice Award for her painting “Dark Hours.” It was selected as a winner from nearly 50 submissions.
Morrison displayed paintings, sculptures and dream catchers at the show and sold the most she has ever done before at one show. “I loved seeing all the support from my family,” she said, adding that their encouragement and support was everything she needed to start her journey as an artist. Kathleen Crain, Arts Council Menifee trustee of visual arts, said Morrison and her partner, Charlotte Parker, have been a huge asset to the organization and that their volunteerism has helped tremendously. “Harmony is an emerging artist. She is very talented, and her work is unique – in a good way,” Crain said. “It is a pleasure to watch her grow in confidence as she shares her work.” Morrison recalls creating art from the time she could pick up a pencil. Her grandmother, Linda Morrison, concurs adding that ever since Harmony was a child she enjoyed making art. “Her favorite pastime was drawing and painting,” Linda Morrison, co-chair of the visual arts division for Arts Council Menifee, said. “I am so proud of Harmony. Her talent and willingness to help Arts Council Menifee makes me very proud.” Harmony Morrison’s works, along with those of other talented artists, can be viewed at the seventh annual Menifee Arts Showcase May 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Menifee Countryside Marketplace. For more information, visit www. artscouncilmenifee.org or call (951) 290-2781.
Clemmer inducted into Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society BATON ROUGE, La. – Alejandra Clemmer of Menifee, California, was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective, alldiscipline collegiate honor society. Clemmer was initiated at California State University Dominguez Hills. Clemmer is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number
of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of Marcus L. Urann, who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the honor society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is “to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers are encouraged to join the celebration. As the survivors walk, other participants will cheer them on in a demonstration of support and celebration. After the survivors and their caregivers make their first lap to kick off the celebration, they will be served breakfast
and receive goodie bags from the participating teams. Relay for Life of Murrieta is a community event for teams and individuals to come together to honor, celebrate and raise funds and awareness of the fight against cancer. Money raised will help the American Cancer Society provide
free information and support for people facing the disease and fund cancer research that will help protect future generations. The Murrieta community of businesses, families, students and friends have been coming together for more than 10 years in the fight against cancer and to support
American Cancer Society because they provide education, advocacy and services for those in need. Cancer survivors or caregivers who would like to be part of the Relay for Life Murrieta can visit www.RelayForLife.org/murrietaca or call the American Cancer Society at (800) 227-2345.
Evening Balloon Glow with new balloons to pay tribute to Armed Forces TEMECULA – “Somewhere over the Rainbow” Gap, lies a land of rolling emerald vineyards, iridescent blue skies and graceful hot air balloons. The Rainbow Gap is a natural phenomenon of the Temecula Valley that ushers the evening sea breezes into the valley of wine. It is this backdrop that cradles the 34th annual Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, June 2-4 and where hundreds of bucket-listers put a check mark next to a dream come true as they ascend to the skies in a hot air balloon above Lake Skinner Recreation Park. Up to 40 hot air balloons will join in the dawn ascensions from the Festival grounds Saturday and Sunday of the event. This year when the DreamShip takes flight, more dreams will come true. A hot air balloon created from the illustrations by children of fallen and disabled military heroes, the DreamShip is a floating inspiration. Of the 400 panels on the balloon, 130 “Folds of Honor” scholarship recipients’ images picture what they want to be when they grow up. Folds of Honor provides educational support and scholarships for spouses and families of America’s fallen and disabled service members. The DreamShip’s inaugural flight was in September 2016, and it will make its first west coast appearance in Temecula. It comes with special exhibits designed to help raise awareness and funds for the Folds of Honor organization. An interactive exhibit, it includes a virtual reality hot air balloon ride and a virtual reality art station, where children can use Tilt Brush technology to draw their own dreams. The Festival will also see a new balloon lift into the sky from Pechanga Resort & Casino. This burgundy beauty will sport the resort’s new logo. Along with Pechanga’s balloon will be the Wilson Creek Winery Champagne bottle, and Bimbo Bakeries’ iconic hot air balloon. Bimbo Bakeries USA is sponsoring the Festival’s evening balloon glow
and will be providing glow souvenirs at the gates while supplies last. Evening balloon glows Friday and Saturday will pay a musical tribute to the Armed Forces. Balloon glows are a synchronization of music to the illumination of the balloon canopies against the velvet black skies of night. The pilots ignite the burners normally used to “raise” the balloon for a balloon flight. This fills the canopy with light, making a spectacle of color. Crowds love to do countdowns to the burn and flickers of the flames as they command the show. Sailing above the Lake Skinner and Shipley Preserve landscape offers vistas of the wine region and open spaces. Pilots and experienced passengers hope for the perfect air currents to create a “box” where the balloon ascends to one altitude that travels north and south, and another east and west allowing the pilot to land almost where they launch. It is a rare occurrence, as most times the balloons lift from the Festival grounds and glide to an unknown destination. Balloon flights from the Festival grounds are scheduled for 6 to 6:30 a.m. (time approximate, weather permitting) Saturday and Sunday of the event. Occasionally, cloud cover may force the balloons to launch off-site which can add another unique experience of landing at the Festival. Festival guests can catch a flight Saturday or Sunday for $225, by reserving a balloon flight now at www.hotairtours.com or by calling (800) 965-2122. The flights include same-day Festival admission, Champagne or orange juice, and a first flight certificate. Weather ultimately determines when and where the balloons can launch and land. For guests who want to try their wings without letting go of terra firma, the Festival offers free tethered rides Saturday and Sunday morning after the launch. The balloon rides are about 10 minutes long. Hot
air balloon activities are always weather permitting. Sponsored by the Economic Development Agency of Riv-
erside County and the City of Temecula, the event is held annually at Lake Skinner Recreation area in Wine Country. For more

more. If you want to leave negative thoughts behind, you have to let God transform your mind. “Let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect,” Romans 12:2. Do you want to know what God’s will for you is? Well, it’s not constantly thinking about the hurts, fears
and failures you’ve had in your life. Those thoughts can only hurt you as much as you allow them. God’s will is to transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. The Bible tells us exactly how God wants us to think in Philippians 4:8 when it says, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.” Now that’s a life-changing thought pattern. So stop dwelling on all those things in your past. You can’t change them anyway. Start thinking God’s way. It’s the way to a better life. Live on purpose. Zac Elliott is the pastor of Fusion Christian Church in Temecula. For more information, visit www.myfusionchurch.com.

Leave negative thoughts behind Zac Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
“Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things,” Philippians 4:8. Have you ever had a song stuck in your head? If you have, you know it can be torturous.
The same can be said for negative thoughts. In our lives it’s often the hurtful words someone said, the guilt we feel or the failures we’ve experienced that captivate our thoughts and in the end ruin our lives. Our thoughts don’t even have to be true to wreak havoc in our lives. We just have to believe them. The good news is you don’t have to live with those negative thoughts plaguing your mind and life any-

Eastern Municipal Water District introduces Groundwater Reliability Plus plan Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Eastern Municipal Water District engineers, anticipating a 60 percent population increase in its 555-mile service area in the next 20 to 30 years, are continuing to find ways to increase drought-proof groundwater supplies to provide reliable potable and agricultural water for its increasing customer base. Joe Mouawad, EMWD assistant general manager, planning, engineering and construction Monday, May 8, in an exclusive meeting with the Valley News, gave an overview of the district’s ambitious groundwater reliability plan. The plan includes building new facilities and pipelines in the San Jacinto area that will replenish the districts groundwater basin to provide extended seasonal and future water supplies. “The Groundwater Reliability Plus program, this is one of many initiatives that we undertake to make sure we have water supply reliability to meet current and future demands in our service area … to serve our community, our existing and future customers to make sure we have local water supplies to accommodate periods of drought in the future and to accommodate growth in the future,” Mouawad said. The program, which EMWD has already secured $14 million to start, will include constructing a new brine evaporation pond and advanced water treatment plant and pump station near its current regional water reclamation facility off Sanderson Avenue north of Cottonwood Avenue; adding a second 55- inch pipeline from the regional water reclamation facility along its current pipeline to the existing Alessandro ponds
and from there building a new recycled water pipeline crossing the raw water pipeline that would run to the Mountain Avenue recharge ponds. A new recharge pond is also proposed in the Mountain Avenue recharge pond area. Groundbreakings for the new projects are planned in 2018 for the water banking projects and 2019 for the purified water replenishment project. The district currently has about 54 percent of its water coming from its own San Jacinto River water basin, wells and the overlapping contracted Soboba Indian water basin and the recycled water program. Mouawad said EMWD is fortunate that it has much of its water coming from local supplies and with the planned Groundwater Reliability Plus program that should increase with more than half of its water coming from the local sources cutting down on the need for expensive imported water coming from the State Water Project via the Metropolitan Water District and the Colorado River aqueduct, particularly during times of drought like the region experienced in recent years. EMWD, since 1960, with its four tertiary treatment plants and 7,010 acre feet of seasonal storage reservoir capacity, has a groundwater reliability program considered to be one of the best in the state, Mouawad noted. More recently EMWD completed a new 900-acre-feet storage reservoir in the Trumble Road area. He said EMWD wants to continue this program to an even greater extent with the Groundwater Reliability Plus program. “We recognize that there will be future periods of droughts and that is why must diversify our portfolio, that is what our program is about,”
Joe Mouawad, Eastern Municipal Water District assistant general manager, planning, engineering and construction, shows a power point explaining the water districts’ new Groundwater Reliability Plus plan for the areas future growth. Tony Ault photo
the engineer said. Currently EMWD has approximately 7,500 acre-feet of recycled water stored after the winter rains that was captured with its currently facilities. Adding in the new facilities, Mouawad explained, will allow the district to bank an additional 4,000 acre-feet of recycled water and ground water for short-term use in agriculture, parks, golf courses, school grounds and a power plant. The extended water banking plan will provide 10,000 to 20,000 acre-feet of recycled water and water purified from salt to use during long periods of drought. EMWD, like other water companies in the west, have used the water banking, water recycling and purified water replenishment
successfully to provide safe drinking water for people and water for agricultural uses. For final distribution water coming from all sources, water banking, tertiary recycled water and purified water is piped or directed into recharge ponds. The water from the ponds is absorbed into the ground seeping through layers of sand and soil that helps purify it as it drains into the groundwater or aquifer. The groundwater from the aquifer is then pumped out by wells, disinfected and finally distributed to residents and farmers. Purified water is created by taking recycled water pumping it through tubes filled with perforated fibers that catches solids and bacteria, then high pressure pumps force water through another semi-
permeable membrane that takes out dissolved salts and other minerals. That water is blended with additional tertiary treated water and pumped into ponds allowing it to soak into the ground where the natural purification process continues. Mouawad said in conclusion the EMWD Ground Water Reliability Plus program will provide enhanced groundwater quality and reduced water salinity; higher regional groundwater levels yielding decreased pumping costs; increased groundwater availability; droughtproof supply reliability and diversification; ensure recycled water is always provided to customers and utilizes proven technology to provide a safe new water supply.

Tips for safe tree planting SAN DIEGO – Many people like to improve the environment by planting a tree. San Diego Gas & Electric reminds its customers and landscapers to plant the “right tree in the right place” and to practice safe digging by calling 8-1-1, a free service to identify area utility lines, before planting. “Healthy trees help clean the air we breathe, prevent erosion and conserve watersheds,” John Jenkins, vice president of Electric Engineering and Construction, said. “We want to make sure our customers stay safe as they get to work planting a tree. First, choose a spot where there are no power lines or utility boxes nearby. Second, call 8-1-1 to make sure you’re not going to accidentally damage any utility lines in the ground below – water, electric, gas or cable.” Trees play an integral part in creating a cleaner, greener and
healthier future, and SDG&E has built an award-winning vegetation management team. The team has earned the Arbor Day Foundation’s distinction as a Tree Line USA Utility for the last 15 years, and the squad takes great care to trim the trees within SDG&E’s service community to help reduce the risk of tree-related power outages, fire and other impacts to the energy grid. Customers can help by being mindful of energy infrastructure before planting a tree. SDG&E asks that all customers consider the future growth of the tree in mind when identifying a safe planting spot. As trees grow, their branches and roots spread out, so avoid planting them too close to overhead power lines or over underground electric lines, natural gas pipes or cables. Take the time to properly select a
tree that is not only aesthetically pleasing but is safe to plant in your area. Don’t plant shrubs directly in front of SDG&E equipment and maintain the grade or slope of the soil so water drains away from equipment. At least two days before the start of digging, dial 8-1-1 to reach underground service alert. By calling 8-1-1, contractors and customers will receive visual markings for all electric lines, natural gas pipes and cables in the area to help avoid damaging any infrastructure while digging. If at any time there is concern of a gas emergency, immediately evacuate the area where the leak is suspected, and from a safe location call SDG&E at (800) 411-7343.

Eastern Municipal Water District announces Quail Valley sewer project MENIFEE – After more than a decade of working with state funding agencies on behalf of local residents, Eastern Municipal Water District announced it has received funding and will soon begin construction on the first phase of a sewer system in the Quail Valley area of Menifee. Earlier this year EMWD finalized an agreement with the State Water Resources Control Board, which is providing $8 million toward the cost of the project that will bring a safe and reliable sewer system to 215 properties in the southernmost area of Quail Valley. The Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority previously provided $1.93 in grant funding and the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board has provided $455,814 in Supplemental Environmental Protection funds. EMWD’s board of directors approved a contract with Downing Construction Wednesday, May 3, to install the first phase of sewer in the area. The construction is anticipated to be substantially completed in the winter of 2018-2019. The region is currently served by septic systems – many of which are failing and resulting in raw sewage being discharged into local ground and surface waters. The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board in 2006 imposed a septic systems moratorium in the area, and the county of Riverside also imposed a prohibition on new septic tanks. “EMWD’s board and staff have worked tirelessly for many years to secure the funding necessary to advance this critical project,” EMWD Vice President Ron Sullivan, who represents the Menifee and Perris areas, said. “We are incredibly pleased that the state board has allocated the necessary funding and that we are beginning the process of providing the first phase of sewer service to a community that has been waiting for so long.” EMWD is relying on grant funding to fund the sewer system costs. This funding was necessary to ensure that the project costs were not borne by other ratepayers. Once a rural enclave with properties that often served as vacation homes, the septic systems in Quail Valley were not constructed with everyday use in mind. As the area grew and homes became occupied year-round, the septic systems were unable to keep up with increased demands placed on them and began to fail. Now considered an economically disadvantaged area, EMWD has for many years coordinated with sev-
eral community groups – including the Quail Valley Environmental Coalition – to work on behalf of residents to secure grant funding from the state. The median household income in Quail Valley was a primary factor in EMWD being able to obtain grant funding. Over the next few months, EMWD will be conducting significant outreach to the Quail Valley community, including the property owners who will be receiving sewer service. Construction is anticipated to begin later this year and last for approximately 20 months. “The city of Menifee appreciates the work that EMWD has put forth to bring a safe and reliable sewer system to the residents of Quail Valley,” Menifee Mayor Pro-Tem Matt Liesemeyer, whose District 2 includes the Quail Valley area, said. “This system will help protect the quality of life and provide substantial and long-lasting environmental benefits to this community, as well as create new opportunities where none existed before.” The construction of the sewer system will include a mainline system in the public right of way and lateral connections to 149 existing homes and 66 undeveloped parcels. Contractors will abandon the existing septic systems and connect the laterals to the properties on the developed parcels. The new sewer system will connect via gravity flow to a regional lift station that is being constructed by EMWD and funded in part by the developers of Audie Murphy Ranch. “The county of Riverside appreciates the efforts of EMWD to bring a modern sewer system to the Quail Valley community,” Riverside County 5th District Supervisor Marion Ashley said. “This has been an issue that all our agencies have worked on together for many years. This sewer system will have significant beneficial impacts for water quality within the region and is the first step toward resolving a longstanding public health issue.” EMWD is the water, wastewater service and recycled water provider to approximately 804,000 people living and working within a 555-square mile service area in western Riverside County. It is California’s sixth-largest retail water agency, and its mission is “to deliver value to our customers and the communities we serve by providing safe, reliable, economical and environmentally sustainable water, wastewater and recycled water services.” More information can be found at www.emwd.org.

How to find the right replacement windows for your home TEMECULA – Replacing old windows is often a worthwhile investment for homeowners. Energy-efficient windows can prevent heating and cooling loss and keep homes more comfortable throughout the year. Such windows also can improve a home’s resale value, proving a good return on investment for homeowners who want to upgrade their homes before putting them on the market. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners might find it more cost-effective to replace very old and inefficient windows to improve their energy efficiency. Such an upgrade can save homeowners substantial
amounts of money on heating and cooling costs. Window replacement projects can be costly, so it pays to get the job right the first time. Before beginning a window replacement project, homeowners should research which windows will meet their specific needs, learning the subtleties between finishes and features, as well as comparing prices for the windows and installation. Choose the right time of year to replace windows. The best time of year to plan window replacement is when the weather will be warm, ideally

in the spring or early summer. However, homeowners do not want conditions to be too warm, as each room where new windows will be installed will temporarily be exposed to the elements. Furthermore, caulk adheres better in warmer weather and will dispense easily. Consider available features. When replacing windows, homeowners may want to install the same style windows they currently have. But the problems that led to the need to replace windows may still exist even when new windows are installed. When replacing windows, consider energy performance ratings based on the locations of the windows in the house. To make sure they make the most educated decision, homeowners can investigate the solar heat gain coefficient, U-factor, visible transmittance and light-to-solar gain. Explanations of these ratings are available at www.energy.gov. Don’t ignore maintenance needs. Maintenance costs involved with cleaning, repairs and painting can add up. When shopping for windows, consider the amount of maintenance they will need. Wood-framed windows may require more upkeep than aluminum,

fiberglass or vinyl. Also, consider if certain window types, such as double-hung windows, casement windows, awning windows or slider windows, would be practical. Keep home style in mind. A poor match between windows and the style of the home can produce unwanted changes in the appearance of the home. Replacement windows should match the style and appearance desired. Expect minimal disruption. When homeowners hire profes-
sionals who are good at their craft, window replacement projects should not be a terrible inconvenience. According to American Window Products, seasoned professionals will be able to complete a replacement window upgrade in a short amount of time depending on the size of the home and the number of windows being replaced. Replacing windows can be a costly task, but one that will provide a more energy efficient home that can help homeowners save money in the long run.

Tips to make your home move easier on your pets Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Moving can be hard on everyone involved. Adults, children and yes…even your pets. While your pet may not understand exactly what is going on, they can sense the stress, good or bad that the whole family is experiencing. Add to that the fact that animals are creatures of habit and do not like changes to their usual routine, and you can understand why they become so confused. They also become quite anxious when suddenly they see their human family busily throwing everything around them into boxes. Naturally, we always want to keep our pets happy and healthy because we love them, but we also want to lessen the chances of their “acting-out.” Animals, just like people, can behave rather badly when under stress, and so we need to do all we can to help them feel secure throughout the moving process. What we really need to know is when faced with an upcoming move, how do we reduce the amount of stress that our pets are going to experience, and what can we do about the unavoidable disruption to their daily routine? We posed this very question to industry experts, took their invaluable input, and created the following list of tips. During the packing process, try to keep your pet’s daily routine as close to normal as possible. Adhering to his usual feeding, exercise and bedtime schedule is important. When packing, leave your pet’s belongings to last. If possible, allow your pet continued access to his same food dishes, litter box, pet bed and toys right up until moving day. Lessen the chances of there being any “mistakes” by keeping your cat’s litter box in the usual spot, right up until you load him into the car or until you confine him to a “transition room.” Leave a couple of empty packing boxes open on the floor for your pet to explore. Allowing your pet

to familiarize himself with these new, strange objects will prevent him from being afraid of them. On moving day, it is best to remove your pets from the house before you start moving your possessions. Allowing your pets to roam free in the house while the front door is propped wide-open, and people are rushing in and out lugging boxes and furniture just creates a recipe for disaster. If it is not possible to remove your pets beforehand, you should select an empty room with a door to safely house them for the day. Place their food and water dishes, toys, bedding and litter box in the room with them. Many pets find the background noise of a radio comforting, and it helps to muffle some of the loud and unsettling noises that come from moving
heavy furniture and boxes. Be sure to put collars with identification tags on your dogs and cats, as many pets do escape during the confusion of moving day. To avoid possible injury to your cat, always use a breakaway collar. Although many pets today are microchipped, having your pet wear a collar remains a good idea, as only pet care industry workers have access to the tool that reads the chip, while anyone can read your name and phone number on a tag. For transportation to the new home, cats should be placed in a cat carrier on the floor of the back seat, and dogs should be properly restrained. Dogs should either ride in the back of the vehicle separated from passengers by a dog grate, or should sit in the back seat strapped
Place an extra litter box, food and water dishes, toys and bedding inside with your cat. After a couple of days, when most of the boxes have been unpacked, the furniture placed and things have generally calmed down, open the door and allow your cat to venture out. Before moving her belongings to where you want to keep them, allow your cat the use of the room for another two or three days while she becomes more confident in her new surroundings. Birds, lizards, rabbits and other small animals are much easier to move, as they are normally used to being housed in a cage or at least are accustomed to regularly spending “quiet time” in one. To make the journey to their new home safely, they should be kept in their cage or placed into an appropriately sized pet carrier before being loaded into your car. Placing a lightweight cloth over your small pet’s cage will help to keep him quiet and calm during the car ride; just be sure to allow adequate air flow. Be sure to leave some food and fresh water in with your pet. Most small animals do well with a drinking bottle that is easily attached to most cages. Remember to bring your pet’s supply of food, feeding dishes and any medications with you in the car. Small animals overheat even faster than large animals, so again, never leave your pets unattended in a vehicle. For more information on how to make moving easier on your pets, or if your pet has a pre-existing medical condition that requires special care, please contact your veterinarian for advice. Call us today, (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need enabling you to make an informed, educated decision.

into a dog seat belt. These precautions protect both your dog and the passengers in the vehicle – a quick stop can send your dog hurtling forward seriously injuring her and those in her path. Never leave your pet unattended in a vehicle. While the temperature in the car may seem just a little warm to you, animals overheat very quickly. Sadly, every year there are thousands of pets who succumb to heatstroke as a direct result of being left in a hot car. Bring your pet’s dishes, food, leash, toys, bedding, litter box and any medications in the car with you and your pet. Providing consistency for your pet is important, so when you arrive at your new home, set up your pet’s things in those spots where you intend on keeping them. When introducing your pet to their new home and before releasing your pet into his new backyard, take a quick safety check. Is the fence in good shape – no spaces for your pet to wiggle through or under? Can your pet reach the neighbor’s pet through the fence, and if so, are they friendly? Are there any sharp objects that could pose a hazard to your pet? What about plants – are there any that could be harmful to your pet if she decided to devour them? Is there any garbage lying around for your pet to get into? Is there shade available for your pet? After running through all of these checks, be sure to leave a large, cool, bowl of water for your pet, and spend some time just sitting in the backyard with him. It is recommended that cats remain indoors. One study reported that cats who are allowed to roam free outside have an average life span of only three years, while indoor cats can be expected to live for an average of 13 years. If your cat has been allowed to roam in the past, now is the ideal time to break him of this habit. If you keep your cat indoors from day one in the new house, he will not have had time to establish his own turf outside and will view the indoors as his sole territory. Again, select a room with a door for your cat to use as her “transition room.”
