Eight more arrested in illegal grow stings Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Eight more people have been arrested in string of search warrants served by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Special Investigations Bureau’s MET in an effort to combat the problem of illegal marijuana grows in Riverside County.

AJ Brock, a 10-year-old pitcher from Menifee had no idea of the surprise in store for him as he took to the mound during a mock baseball game at Wheatfield Park Friday, May 13. As the young ball player warmed up his arm, his father, United States Marine Corps Master Sgt. Randy Brock (top, left) hides out in a community building at the park and slips into umpire gear as a disguise to surprise his son and daughter during the game. Brock was deployed in Japan for training for six-months and returned back to the U.S. at March Air Reserve Base May 12. AJ watches (bottom, left) as his cleverly disguised dad, Randy, a Marine for 21 years, who has served 3 tours of combat deployment, sweeps off the dirt from home plate. AJ and his sister, 9-year-old Mikaella (right) get a hug from their dad after he revealed himself as the mystery umpire. The children were thrilled to have thier dad home after the long deployment, said mother Janet (not pictured). See more photos on page A-3.

Gracing the world with their grins, the special need students from Great Oak High, Temecula Valley High, and Chaparral High celebrated the school year’s end at Spectacular Prom May 14. The event centered around facilitating inclusion for youth with special needs, who would not have the opportunity to experience a school dance. Traci Koeffler, an instructional

assistant Great Oak High and the head coordinator of the celebration, saw her sixth Spectacular Prom come to fruition that night. “I most enjoy all three of the high schools coming together. It’s their night,” Koeffler said. “It’s all about them and it’s just fun to see the kids in their own element, having fun.” The fun permeated throughout all of the crowd, even to the many students not in the special education program but who attended

Lower CFD bond interest rates to benefit MVUSD schools Tony Ault WRITER

The Murrieta Valley Unified School District board acting as the MVUSD Public Financing Authority has authorized the refunding of $75 million in Special Tax Revenue Bonds taking advantage of lowering interest rates. The tax savings amounts to $7.5 million in additional money that can be used to improve the districts overall school facilities. The action took place at the May 12 regular MVUSD Board meeting. The resolutions by the boards allow for the refinancing of 11 Special Community Financing Districts (SCFDs) that help pay for the building and maintaining of public schools. The refunded bonds will total $75 million that are being negotiated by Stilfil, Nicolaus & Co., Inc. through Zions Bank. Since the economic downturn in 2005-06 market conditions have improved resulting in lower interest rates on CFDs. The Murrieta Valley Unified School District bonds interest rates have dropped down since they were initially purchased at 4.38 percent. The refunded bonds are being negotiated at the 3 percent interest

rate with an Indenture of Trust at Zions Bank. The refunding will not change any homeowners (tax) terms, amounts or length of payoff, bond representatives explained. The MVUSD Board and Public Financing Authority will consider the tax savings in creating the new 2016-17 budget projections that normally come in late June. The CFD being refunded include CFD 99-1,2000-1, 2000-2, 2001-1, 20014, 2002-1, 2002-2, 2001-3, 2001-5, 2003-1 and 2003-2. The years represent the years when the bonds were first purchased. In other action the board at the May 5 meeting heard a report on how and when student grades and evaluations of achievement will be shown to the parents. Basically the report cards will change from the traditional letter grade, A-F, to a numerical grade 1-4 with explanations. The board heard the report (Board Policy 5121), “stipulates that teachers shall evaluate a student’s work in relation to standards which apply to all students at his/her grade level. The Superintendent or designee shall establish and regularly evaluate a uniform grading system, and principals shall ensure that student grades conform

to this system. Teachers shall inform students and parents/guardians how student achievement will be evaluated in the classroom.” Currently, elementary teachers give four quarterly report cards each school year. These report cards are not aligned to the new California standards. “In 2016/17, elementary students will receive two report cards (one per semester) and two progress reports (midway through each semester). The report card is aligned to the California state standards. The progress report is an opportunity for teachers to communicate with families regarding individual student progress in meeting the grade level standards. “The implementation of the new report cards will align instruction, assessment and reporting around the new standards. It is essential that these systems align as we make the shifts in our instruction. The progress report will provide specific feedback to enable effective parent communication, goal setting and student support. The progress report will be provided at parent conferences in the first semester and sent home in the spring semester,” according to the report.

CHP to offer ‘Smart Start’ driver safety class for teens, parents TEMECULA – The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will be conducting a “Start Smart” driver safety class for local teenagers and their parents/guardians. Start Smart is specifically geared toward the reduction of collisions and injuries involving teen drivers. Start Smart addresses traffic safety issues that directly affect new drivers in a way no other program does. Start Smart speaks directly to the newly licensed or soon to be licensed

drivers and their parents/guardians. This program entails collision avoidance techniques, collision causing elements, driver responsibilities and local area traffic collision trends. Start Smart makes teens and parents aware of the responsibilities they face and teaches what precautions to take to stay safe. A Start Smart certificate of completion will be given to all attendees. The class is free. The next available class will be held on Thursday, May 26, at 6 p.m.

The class will be held at the Temecula City Hall, located at 41000 Main Street in Temecula. Seating is limited. If you would like to RSVP, please contact Officer Mike Lassig at (951) 506-2000 or email him at MLassig@chp.ca.gov. Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Plan to open Catholic high school in wine country picks up momentum

Closely-held plans to open a Catholic high school in Temecula’s wine country that were publicly unveiled thrust the future plans of St. Jeanne de Lestonnac School into the limelight. Shane Gibson photo

Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

Closely-held plans to open a Catholic high school in Temecula’s wine country have been unveiled publicly and are expected to be submitted soon to Riverside County

officials for review. The unveiling – which included a Mass in which a priest blessed the development submittal documents – thrust the future plans of St. Jeanne de Lestonnac School into the limelight. The preparation of the documents

and preliminary studies have created a new momentum for a campus that would be built as an extension of a Catholic school that now educates nearly 470 students from preschool to eighth grade. “We are putting a lot of energy into this,” Sister Ernestine Velarde, the administrator of St. Jeanne’s, told students and parents at the recent unveiling and blessing of the plans at the school. “We are on schedule with everything.” But it was a letter written by one of the proposal’s most important advocates, the Rev. Bishop Gerald R. Barnes, that could put the biggest pinch on an alternate plan. That letter could undermine the fundraising efforts by another group that seeks to open a high school in Murrieta with Catholic underpinnings. Barnes carries immense weight in the issue because he oversees the sprawling Diocese of San Bernardino. The diocese blankets the Temecula area and most of the Inland Empire, heading more than 1.2 million Catholics who reside in the 27,000-square-mile ecumenical

district. The pair of proposed religious high schools is on starkly different paths as parochial education advocates push to stake out new ground in southwest Riverside County. The growth of the Catholic church is evident in the region. In April, Blessed Teresa of Calcutta parish moved from its decade-long home in a French Valley Moose Lodge to its $6.5 million sanctuary a short distance away. That church dedication, which was led by Barnes, attracted an overflow crowd of more than 1,500 worshippers and onlookers. Until recently, the Murrieta high school proposal seemed to be on the fast track. St. Francis Preparatory High School had named key members of its administration and governing board, and it vowed to open in temporary buildings in the fall. Planning for St. Francis had been under way for more than a year before its backers persuaded developer A.G. Kading to repurpose a project of his that is ready to leap off the drawing board. Kading’s 13-acre site west of Interstate 15 in Murrieta had been planned as a $50 million mixed-use college project. But Kading has agreed to instead make the complex the home of St. Francis if that plan takes shape. St. Francis supporters welcomed newspaper interviews and invited a reporter to a Nov. 19 event aimed at spotlighting their plan and introducing their key players. St Francis supporters, who include some prominent Catholics and community leaders, have continued to press forward as they contemplate offering classes this fall in temporary buildings. The push at St. Jeanne’s began with Barnes cast in a pivotal role. In mid-October, Barnes appeared in a two-minute video that was posted on St. Jeanne’s internet site. In the video, Barnes cited the need for a Catholic high school in the fastgrowing region and noted that goal “has long been a dream.” He praised the order of nuns that operates St. Jeanne’s and said the high school plan is now in its “capable” hands. He described St. Jeanne’s expansion plan as “a blessing for our diocese.” St. Jeanne’s announcement triggered skepticism, however, as no development plan had been publicly unveiled or submitted to the county for review. Skeptics also noted the difficulty that a nonagricultural development plan would face in winning county approval and sidestepping costly litigation in Temecula’s wine country. Initial efforts to obtain details from St. Jeanne’s officials were unsuccessful. St. Jeanne’s was founded in 1993 and moved to its current location in the Temecula wine country six years later. Media invites were sent out for an April 15 gathering at St. Jeanne’s that included a special Mass and an unveiling of the high school site plan. The invitations were accompanied by a press release that announced the appointment of Annette Zaleski as the high school’s first principal. The invitations said Zaleski was hired even though the high school

likely wouldn’t open until the 201718 school year, and then “probably in temporary facilities in Temecula.” The press release cited Zaleski’s ties to the diocese and to a string of schools within and outside its jurisdiction. Zaleski served as the associate superintendent of schools at the San Bernardino Diocese. She gained administrative experience at St. James Elementary School in Perris and Rosary High School in Orange. She is currently the principal of La Purisima Catholic School in Orange. Zaleski will continue her work at La Purisima through the remainder of the 2016-17 school year. She will devote part of her time to the St. Jeanne’s project during that period, and fully transition to her new role in the 2017-18 school year, according to the news release. “We thank God for Annette’s willingness to assume this responsibility,” the press release stated. Sister Ernestine also praised Zaleski’s participation and professional skills during the April 15 gathering. “She is a real catch,” Sister Ernestine said at the gathering, which filled the school’s auditorium with about 65 adults and several hundred uniform-wearing students from all grade levels. She also introduced members of key committees, the project architect, the landscape architect and a professional fundraiser. Various preliminary studies – including traffic and parking – will be submitted to the county along with the development application. “It is a huge task and we can only do it with the help of a lot of people,” she told the audience. Some of the key players who were introduced have close ties to the school. They include Mike Villegas, who lives in Menifee and is working as the project’s landscape architect. His daughter-in-law teaches at the school and two of his grandchildren are students at St. Jeanne’s. A third grandchild is expected to start cycling through the program in a couple of years. The development of a Catholic high school at St. Jeanne’s would benefit the diocese, area churches and the community, Villegas said. “This has been a blessing for sure,” Villegas said as he prepared to pop into a development team meeting following the April 15 event. “I think the opportunity for (his grandchildren) to continue their education in this environment is a blessing. I’m happy to know and hear that things are moving along.” But progress at St. Jeanne’s could weaken the footing for St. Francis. A March 21 letter penned by Bishop Barnes – described as “an update and a reaffirmation of my position regarding the (two) proposals” – came down squarely on the side of St. Jeanne’s. Barnes said he wanted to make it clear that St. Francis, which he called a proposed Catholic-themed high school, “does not have my support.” He further asked that all parishes “refrain from allowing” St. Francis advocates from speaking to church groups, holding fundraising activities or printing notices in bulletins or other publications.

through the Great Oak organization, the California Scholarship Federation. 135 members of CSF signed up to not only assist the setup and takedown of the event, but also to participate. They were encouraged to attend in order to, as Diana Arban, teacher and advisor of CSF, said “provide a prom-like atmosphere for everybody and make sure there was a large mix of kids.” Purple and gold balloons flooded the Performing Arts Center ceiling, and golden trinkets lined the stage to coincide with the party’s “Arabian Nights” theme. The caterers even served Asian-inspired cuisine to complete the experience. Many, like Aldo Gonzalez, a senior and CSF Officer, were wholly impressed. “This was my first Spectacular Prom,” he said. “The event surpassed my expectations. It was a lot more fun than any other school event.” For Gonzalez, meeting and interacting with other students at the event made the work worthwhile and he “could tell they were having good time.” The joy was infectious. “Watching the smiles on these kids faces as they are dancing with everybody just melts my soul,” said another student. Kristy Roble, CSF president, noticed that the happiness of that night meant more than a simple fleeting emotion, but impacted lifetimes. “Some of the parents approached me at the end of the event and they all told me the same thing. They said that ‘this event is a wonderful blessing for their children and that they are looking forward to next year’,” Roble said. “Without a doubt the happiness and celebration of Spectacular Prom was explicitly visible. This is the most important event that CSF helps run because of the beautiful impact it has on special needs students, making them feel more included in the community and more supported by their peers.” The City of Temecula, as a whole, played a large role in making Spectacular Prom possible, according to Koeffler who said that the group received its highest

amount of donations this year. “Temecula Talk and the community has been a huge help getting this together,” Koeffler said. “Our raffle prizes this year are just spectacular. The outpour we’ve had in the community to donate and give to this event is amazing.” Koeffler fully attributes Spectacular Prom’s success to the support behind the event. “It takes a village to put something like this on,” she said. “I couldn’t do it without all of the help of the staff and students.”

excessive evaporation. If you drive by the ranch at night you will notice new lighting on the buildings and along the pathway. Trees and historical features will also be illuminated. Local artist Bob Morris is working with Cody McGaughy from the Murrieta Machine Shop to fabricate a top for the old Vail Ranch water tank that will be placed on the platform next to the windmill soon. Members of the community both young and not so young have provided materials, artifacts and labor to help Arteco and VaRRA with the site renovation. We are proud of the eight Eagle Scout projects done over the past few years after a lot of planning and hard work. Two projects were completed during the last month.

Excitement is building as each new detail of Vail Ranch nears completion. And those details are many. The new stable building is taking shape as the Arteco team devotes their attention to it. Spring has brought life to the trees, some which are over 100 years old and others that were planted 15 years ago. We are anxiously waiting the new landscaping and planting of 30 or more trees on the property. Two sections of the site will be covered with grass watered by an innovative irrigation system that utilizes a mat with soaker tubes installed under the drought-resistant sod. The grass roots are watered without

GARDENS from page A-1 many gardening ideas the local residents employed in their personal gardens. All was to help the foundation provide funds to Murrieta schools to bring elementary school students so used to living in a digital world to the plateau allowing them to see firsthand the beauty of nature around them and to learn about ways to protect their environment. More recently the foundation announced an inaugural program providing three $1,000 scholarships to graduating Murrieta high school students to help them in their college careers. SRPNEF directors and docents greeting guests as they arrived at the tour said the event was a “great success.” The guests were welcomed first by the hosts, Stone Brewing Company’s craft beer and wine garden party at 20170 Sierra Soto Lane in the La Cresta home of Plateau Vineyard. There foundation docents and vendors provided information about the ways and means of protecting the environment and presented some other organizations dedicated to preserving natural resources. The Plateau’s beautiful vineyards provided the backdrop for the attending musician’s classical guitar music and the start of the tour. From there the guests either drove or were shuttled to the first estate garden at 41307 Avenida La Cresta that provided a stunning view of the adjacent Santa Rosa Plateau and the Murrieta/Temecula Valley. The garden, titled simply “Mountain View at Santa Rosa,” was highlighted by a beautiful hilltop garden with many drought resistant plants highlighted by a finely sculptured horse. Next came a tour of the estate garden at 39204 Calle de Companero. The garden titled “Inspired by Nature,” featured a pond with its own beach surrounded by many beautiful plants. Swans with three cygnets swimming in the pond delighted the guests, as the family’s rescued animals, including burros and various birds curiously watched the crowds. Hanging plants swayed in the wind next to the family home and an older out of service fire engine boasting colorful plants resting on its bumper. One portion of the hillside garden held an array of clay fireplaces and outdoor antiques where family barbecues are held. The tour then went on to estate garden Site C at 39125 Avenida Bonita where visitors were treated with a view of a garden pond and a homemade natural beach, waterfall and its own vineyard. The garden called “Formal on the Plateau,” while emphasizing the orderly flora and fauna seen on the plateau had another attraction that the homeowners collected with pride. A fine collection of vintage cars on display in a parking area near the garden. The last estate garden on the tour, called the “Edible Garden,” was located at 37990 Avenida La Cresta. The home, surrounded by a vineyard, featured a number of young fruit trees and growing

Soon you will be strolling through a Tuesday morning farmers market and will be getting coffee and ice cream while listening to live music under the canopy of trees that whisper secrets of the past. This site nearly was obliterated but VaRRA and Arteco Partners made sure it was saved and renovated with love to give our community a place to pause, reflect and renew.

Homeowners Stu and Lydia Cameron took the time to place the names of the different fruit trees and grapevines in the large garden area for the visitors. The family sells their grapes to local wineries. The SRNEF is a nonprofit, environmental project-based learning program. Students actively become aware, explore and address environmental challenges while building skills in a teamwork of communication, research, data collection and analysis, community engagement and reflection. The Foundation’s programs, enable and

require students to delve deeply into arrange of academic content while investigating environmental issues affecting the natural work in their own backyard. One of the year’s highlights for Murrieta Valley School District third-graders is a trip to the Santa Rosa Plateau and its nature center sponsored by the Foundation. The Foundation has also offered prizes to students in a plateau photo contest.

Local Sheriff’s Department announces 8 more arrests in illegal grow stings Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Eight more people have been arrested in string of search warrants served by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Special Investigations Bureau’s Marijuana Enforcement Team in an effort to combat the problem of illegal marijuana grows in Anza and the surrounding communities. Due to the MET’s efforts, more than 61,000 plants with an estimated street value of between $61.1 and $605.6 million, depending on the quality of the plants, has been removed from the streets. The stepped up enforcement efforts began in the area March 30 and to date, 17 illegal grows have been shut down and 29 people have been arrested. In the most recent bust, which took place May 12 beginning at 7 a.m., eight people were arrested at a location off Tripp Flats Road in Anza when MET served a search warrant as a result of a criminal investigation involving an illegal marijuana grow operation on the private property in the unincorporated community of Anza. According to a press release on the incident, the criminal investigation involved a large-scale marijuana grow operation, which included indoor “Greenhouse” type structures. The release reported that “dur-

ing the search warrant service and subsequent investigation, it was determined that the marijuana grow was in violation of illegally cultivating marijuana for the purposes of monetary profit.” Arrested were Saobory Yin, 35, Avelino Partida, 28, May Yang, 49, Thoa Lee, 39, and Youa Kue, 51, all of Wisconsin. Also arrested were Bountont Vatsana, 46, of Northern California and Ammee Lee, 32, and Sopha Thieng, 38, both of Alabama. All eight were charged individually with cultivation of marijuana worth more than $500, possession of marijuana with intent to sell greater than 1,000 pounds and conspiracy to commit a felony, all felonies. A jail records search shows Yin was released after posting $100,000 bail. The other seven remain in custody in lieu of $100,000 bail. According to the press release, the Sheriff’s Department continues to experience an increase in the number of criminal investigations involving illegal cultivation of marijuana; particularly with outdoor grow-houses. The Sheriff’s Department began identifying an increase in the number of outdoor marijuana grows in 2011, with a slight uptick each year. The department is determined to aggressively investigate each reported illegal marijuana cultivation, utilizing all available resources and personnel. “In the State of California, cul-

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

Paul Bandong STAFF WRITER

The sixth annual Taste of Bear Creek was both a culinary and financial success. This year’s May 1 fundraiser benefited Safe Alternatives for Everyone, Project Touch, The Thomas Nanci Foundation, and The Children’s Tumor Foundation. According to event public relations spokesperson, Mindy Smith, the event drew 425 attendees and raised over $32,000. Presenting Sponsor was BMW of Murrieta. Giant RV, Dutton Motors and Prestige Golf Cars also stepped up as major sponsors for the event. Delectable dishes were provided by Bluewater Grill & Fish Market, Bushfire Kitchen, Anthony’s Lounge & Ristorante, Bear Creek Golf Club, Tonino’s Restaurant & Wine Bar, RJ’s Sizzlin Steer, D’Canters Wine Bar & Grill, Los Reyes Bar and Grill, Baron’s Market, Tessie’s Just Desserts, Shamrock Irish Pub & Eatery, Liberty Kitchen, Naughty Pig Butchery, San Diego Paella, and Rosmarinus Catering. A selection of fine beverages to imbibe were provided by Europa Village, Wilson Creek Winery, Lorenzi Estate Wines, Craveyon Wines, Gershon Bacchus Vintners and Ballast Point. The Mark Sage Band and Tim Moyer provided musical entertainment throughout the afternoon. Master Cigar Roller Luis Mejia hand-rolled custom cigars on the spot and the sweet aroma filled the air as many took advantage of his special blend and unique service. Auctioneer Darren Deiss conducted the outdoor live auction from atop a 2016 Winnebago Tour 42-foot luxury recreational vehicle. “This was a first for me,” said Deiss, owner of Strategic Fundraising Solutions. “Standing on top of a $400,000 motor home among million dollar homes looking down on crowds of people and conducting a fundraising auction.” Live auction items included a trip to Bali, flying in a fighter plane, golf packages at Bear creek and Steele Canyon, a wine tasting tour in Napa

Valley and a trip to New Orleans. “This event far exceeded our expectations,” said event Chairwoman Char DeHesa. “We raised more

money for our nonprofit beneficiaries than we had in previous years. The supporting community really came through!” Assorted Bruschetta appetizers were provided by Rosmarinus Catering. Mindy Smith photo

MSJC’s Jeremy Brown Honored by local Art Organization Arts Council Menifee SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Jeremy Brown, Ph.D., is a professional percussionist who took his musical skills into the classroom at Mt. San Jacinto Community College in 2007 at its San Jacinto campus. He soon became an assistant professor at the Menifee Valley Campus and took over the duties of music department chair. Brown currently serves MSJC as Dean of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

Brown was recently named the Arts Council Menifee Artist of the Month for May for his contributions to the college and the community. He keeps his love for music, especially jazz, alive by performing at local venues. “Artists need an audience; they need promotion of their work. Local artists need celebration of their work and exposure,” Brown said. “Arts Council Menifee shares local arts with the population of Menifee. It helps educate youngsters and keeps aspiring and successful art-

ists active.” Brown said he has enjoyed every interaction with the leaders of Arts Council Menifee. “Their heart is in the enrichment of this community and as the city grows, they have an opportunity to play a key role in steering the cultural life of its citizens,” he said. Brown started his musical career as a rock drummer and still enjoys playing all types of music. His father was a concert pianist and his mother was a classically trained singer. Both teach at universities

so Brown grew up in an academic music world. “The arts make our hearts soar in abstract and complicated ways that elevate our minds and arts inspire. They also illustrate the history of expression in world culture,” Brown explained. “History is often told by the victors, but the arts are a way that every person can contribute to the story of a people. Jazz is the classic American example that illustrates the diversity, industry, excellence and inventiveness of our society. The arts challenge us to reach greater heights, too. Since no work of art is absolutely perfect, there is always room to improve on a work. Just imagine how that translates into other walks of life.” Beginning in high school, Brown said playing with jazz ensembles were the most important part of his education and the most fun. “Jazz is absolutely my favorite genre to teach, write, perform though jazz encompasses a huge variety of musical styles,” said Brown, who has lived in Temecula for nearly 10 years. Under his guidance, MSJC’s music department was expanded and continues to grow. “The jazz ensemble had already been the premier group of the college, but under my direction we broadened its repertoire to include more diverse styles, more serious artistic jazz and challenging full-big-band literature. The band recorded a professionally produced CD,” said Brown, 39. Local pianist and Arts Council Menifee member Edie Schmoll, who took several classes from Brown at MSJC, shared her perspective. “He has an amazing personality, talent on various instruments and his students hang on his every word and hate to depart his classes. In short, he is an unforgettable person,” said Schmoll, of Sun City. “When critiquing a student’s performance, he never criticizes but rather offers suggestions for improvement.” Now that Brown serves the music department in an administrative role, he said it’s easier to see what needs to be done but also why things can’t be done as quickly as some would like. “The college supports the spirit

of the arts but there are a multitude of institutional priorities and all are very important to the lives of our students,” he said. “Oftentimes, what needs to be done is just to stay in the game, to keep active and keep the performing groups out in the community, waiting for the next opportunity.” Future plans for MSJC’s Menifee Valley campus include construction of a performing arts center. “I see the venue revolutionizing the arts at the college and in the Menifee community, in general,” Brown said. “The music folks are also making real strides to grow the program and to bring more students through. Those students lend their talents and impact the program’s growth and change in unique and often subtle ways.” When Brown stepped into his current role as dean, music instructor Eric Rea became music department chair at the Menifee Valley campus. Passing the baton was not difficult for Brown. “I trust Eric’s vision for the department and his talent for vocal and choral direction. His students are doing great things already,” Brown said. Rea is currently teaching five classes and said taking over classes with music majors that had been taught by Brown has not been a problem because of the love of music and learning that were instilled in the students. “Jeremy’s experience as a music department chair has been helpful to me during my transition into the role,” Rea said. “But he makes a great dean because he understands the idiosyncrasies of how music classes work and how they can be different from other classes. But outside of that, he’s just a great guy to work for; he leads without driving, he has high expectations without being demanding and he serves his people, which is the heart of true leadership. He has a heart to serve students by serving the faculty, and it shows.” For upcoming arts events at MSJC, please visit www.msjc. edu/performingarts and for more about Jeremy Brown, www.

FALLBROOK – A terrific display of Brass Era Vehicles will be featured at the 51st annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show, which will be held Sunday, May 29, (Memorial Day weekend) on the grass at the Pala Mesa Resort (2001 Old Highway 395) in Fallbrook from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The earliest automobiles and trucks from 1895 through 1915 are known as Brass Era vehicles, when brass lanterns, lights, radiators and trim adorned the new horseless carriages, which were quickly making the horse drawn buggies and wagons obsolete. There will be more than 20 of these denizens of the past gracing the show this year. They will be shown in their own special area and vintage car aficionados will definitely want to view these operable museum pieces of history and spend time talking to the owners who restored, maintain and drive these marvelous machines. The earliest will be an 1899 Peugeot three wheeler. The French, at the turn of the 20th century, were the largest and most advanced automobile manufacturers in the world. Also being shown will be a 1902 “Curved Dash” Oldsmobile, which along with the Olds 1903 model, was the number one selling car in the world at that time. It displaced the French maker De Dion-Bouton,

thereby pushing the French to the number two spot. Buick took the number one sales mark in 1906. The car show team is excited that there will be a 1906 Buick horseless carriage at the show. In 1909, Henry Ford took the world by storm with the introduction of every man’s affordable automobile. Not only did he bring the huge mass production of automobiles to this country, but he instituted the 40-hour work week and $5 a day pay, both of which were huge in those days. This allowed Ford workers on the assembly line to buy a family automobile, that was revolutionary. There will be many Ford Model T Tin Lizzies, as they became known, on display. Earlier Fords will also be present, including a Model S, which is a very rare automobile. Model T’s sold for $680 in 1909, but had dropped to $290 by 1917. Prior to Ford Motor Company, Henry Ford started the Detroit Automobile Company. Investors pushed him out and transformed the company into Cadillac Motor Company in 1903. People attending the show can see a 1910 Cadillac. After Oldsmobile founder Ransom Eli Olds left Oldsmobile in 1904, he started the REO company. In addition to an REO car at the show, other car makes that will be represented are EMF, Overland,

Dining in the Valley 3rd Street Live presents island flavors with Sweet Leilani’s BBQ and Ono Grinds

Ashley Ludwig Writer

t’s a world of Aloha and Ohana now in Old Town Temecula. Just when you thought there was no haven in Old Town Temecula for locals, entrepreneur, comedian and celebrity Rocky Osborn decided to partner up with Frank Westall, local caterer of Polynesian barbecue. Located off the beaten path, on 3rd Street and Mercedes, near the Old Town Parking Garage and City Hall, this location that has housed more traditional barbecue flavors is set to become the word-of-mouth best place for food and entertainment in the city of Temecula. Sweet Leilani’s BBQ and Ono Grinds – which means “good eats” in pidgin talk – is set back from the main thruway of Old Town Front Street. With grand opening in early May this restaurant will soon get Temecula talking. The menu, a work in progress for this newly opened restaurant, is presented with just the right amount of Pacific Island whimsy and mouth-watering description. Run by the Westall family, Frank, daughter Frankie, son Gabriel and the restaurant named after his oldest daughter, Leilani, this venture has been a longtime coming. A key partnership with 3rd Street Live, Sweet Leilani’s will serve a limited showtime menu for the comedy club’s audience and full menu for the outdoor dining area. “The merge with Sweet Leilani’s allows me the opportunity to focus on providing the area with the best quality stand-up comedy and entertainment I can,” 3rd Street Live comedy club owner Rocky Osborn said.

The courtyard outdoor dining at Sweet Leilani’s in Old Town Temecula, provides ample seating for large parties who wish to enjoy the Courtesy photo Polynesian flavors of this unique eatery.

“A key partnership with 3rd Street Live, Sweet Leilani’s will serve a limited showtime menu for the comedy club’s audience and full menu for the outdoor dining area." “Sweet Leilani’s provides amazing Hawaiian barbecue that is not available in this area.” Fellow entrepreneur Troy Aguayo championed the move to Hawaiian barbecue for the 3rd Street location. “I’ve always felt it was a crime to humanity not to share (Frank’s) island cooking with the world,” Aguayo said. “We finally had an opportunity to do that here at 3rd Street Live.” When you go, expect family friendly atmosphere during the day, and comedy or dueling pianos at night on the weekends. One or more of the Westall family will join you tableside, getting to know the customers and sharing favorite menu items. “I’ve catered events in and around Fallbrook, Temecula for years,” Frank said. “We’ve moved from Sweet Leilani’s ice cream shop in Fallbrook to catering events. I’ve hosted as many as 400 people at backyard luaus

at our Fallbrook home, and over 700 people at the Carlsbad Flower Fields sunrise Easter service.” Frankie Westall grew up in the restaurant industry and now runs the Old Town Temecula establishment with an eye for family, flavor and experience. “We’ve just opened our doors on Mother’s Day, but we are already planning how to brand the Sweet Leilani’s barbecue experience to make it unique,” she said. “My father loves to cook for people, he loves to make them smile. When he gave me the opportunity to join in with this venture, we were ready to pitch in and make this happen.” Still in soft-open, Sweet Leilani’s is set up for success. An eye on the menu, expertly created, and written by Frank with that island “talk story” vibe, each item invokes a feeling of hanging out at a Hawaiian island local’s retreat. “We want the place to have that laid back feeling, with rustic Hawaii that would fit with the Old Town vibe,” Frankie said. “The menu reflects that.” Sweet Leilani’s will also be open for breakfast offering Loco Moco, Spam and eggs, Malasadas and fresh Kona ground coffee, of course. In the future, look for full luau experience during the summer months. Patio misters keep the Temecula heat at bay, and the cooling SoCal breezes extend the island feel when the sun starts to set. Menu items at Sweet Leilani’s BBQ start at $9 a plate, and range to under $25 for a large, sharable “Brok da Mouth Plate.” The claim that it’s “so good it

brok da mouth” is ideal for sharing family style with the whole table. An ultimate meal consisting of Teriyaki chicken, Teriyaki steak, Kalua shredded pork served with two scoops of sticky rice, mac and Asian salad, fresh stir fried vegetables and sweet Hawaiian rolls. The Teriyaki sauce, on its own, is drinkable with sweet and savory flavors. Topping the ice-cream-scoop sized sticky rice, it meshes with the meal. For the chicken and steak, it’s the perfect dipping sauce and will leave you wanting more. Local tip: The large portioned Brok da Mouth plate has a secret off the menu size option. Feel free to ask for a “mini plate” available for half-price, still with the same flavors but a halfsized portion. Already, locals with island ties are frequenting this crave-able establishment. “We’ve been open for just under two weeks, and we have some guests who come every other day,” Frankie said. “This is a great spot for local residents to come, midweek for lunch, or when looking for somewhere to go on the weekend.”

When you come to Sweet Leilani’s BBQ, prepare for subtle flavors that will linger on your palate. The items are cooked with coconut oil, leaving that tropical sweetness. Best item on the menu? The kettle chips, which spark Maui in the imagination with every crisp, hot out of the kettle bite. “The kettle chips, with our signature spice, is something unique to Sweet Leilani’s,” Frank said. “They’re fresh made, and you can add them to any dish.” If you’re in the mood to sample, the PuPu platter – a traditional portion size sampler offers a little of this and that for the table to enjoy. The Teriyaki wings, sweet or hot wings, fried wontons, spring rolls, or poke bowl will be devoured within minutes. Spring rolls, a close cousin to the Filipino dish Lumpia, comes with a flavorful light dipping sauce and is Pacific Islands authentic. If you come for a show, try the Island Nachos, barbecued shredded kalua pork, layered over those amazing kettle chips with spicy sambal. For dinner or lunch? Hands down try the Teriyaki Chicken Sliders. Three bite sized sandwiches, with choices of adding blue cheese, pineapple, bacon or “whateva.” All burgers and sandwiches come with island slaw and homemade kettle chips. Whatever you eat, chances are, you’ll be back to sample more of Frank Westall’s delicious and addictive island barbecue. “Our family is honored to serve you our small taste of the islands at Sweet Leilani’s BBQ and Ono Grinds,” Frankie said. “We hope you find the taste of the islands in every bite.” Sweet Leilani’s BBQ and Ono Grinds is located at 41915 3rd Street in Old Town Temecula. For catering services and questions, call (760) 571-9890. Find 3rd Street Live online at www.3rdStreetLive.com. Find Sweet Leilani’s BBQ on Facebook at www.Facebook.com/LeilanisBBQ.

Summer retro concert series heats up Temecula Valley Wine Country Ashley Ludwig WRITER

Southwest Riverside County residents have come to look forward to summer concerts in Temecula Valley Wine Country. Thanks to Heyday Productions, both retro concerts by 80s and 90s hard rocking tribute bands, as well as some of the hottest new acts on the country circuit, will keep residents entertained all summer long. Venues range from Mount Palomar Winery to Longshadow Ranch Winery and all promise to pack the house with high energy entertainment. “We are thrilled to promote and present Elizabeth Huett, who headlined our Sundresses and Cowboy Boots event last year in 2015,” Robert Walker, owner of HeyDay productions said. “Elizabeth just signed with a major record label, and she’s returning to Temecula to headline her own show.” Huet, best known for her time touring with Taylor Swift, has been featured on ABC’s “Road to the CMAs.” She was co-writer of Sara Evans’ hit “Put my Heart Down,” and has been lauded by such artists as Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum. Huett will play at Mount Palomar Winery, the favored location for Heyday events Friday, June 24. “Visitors to Huett’s show, as with all of our outdoor concerts, can reserve a full table, or purchase general admission tickets,” Walker said. VIP tables seat eight and are available for advance reservations of $250. “Mount Palomar is the perfect venue for these events, with their

wine and food from the Annata Bistro and Bar,” Walker said. “Come for happy hour and stay for the show.” This summer, many old standbys will make the concert circuit across the Heyday stage, such as the Oingo Boingo tribute band, Dead Man’s Party which will appear June 17 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Mount Palomar Winery. “This band brings awesome energy and always packs the house,” Walker said. “They will be playing all of the back in the day Oingo Boingo hits, such as ‘Weird Science,’ ‘Dead Man’s Party,’ ‘Goodbye Goodbye’ among the band’s many other hits.” As expected with Heyday concerts, there will be clean clear sound and a vivid laser light show to light up the sky will accompany

the tribute band’s version of Oingo Boingo in live performance. Next in the lineup, Desperado will showcase the Eagles’ favorite hits July 1 with songs such as “Take it Easy,” “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” and “Hotel California” among many other platinum songs. This year, San Diego based Noise Pollution will rock the stage out at Mount Palomar with a tribute to AC/DC appearing July 22. Come to bang your head or watch this high energy rock band showcase their renditions of the 80s metal favorites from, “TNT” to “Shook Me All Night Long.” Country lovers will enjoy the sixth annual Sundresses and Cowboy Boots review, when Heyday makes a return appearance at Longshadow Ranch Winery.

9 show promises Geddy Lee worthy vocals, drums and slamming guitars of this northern California tribute band and a return to the music that shaped an era, from “Tom Sawyer” to “Limelight.” When you order tickets through Heyday.com you will be put on a list and checked in when you arrive. “All you need to do is check in when you get there, and of course, enjoy the show,” Walker said. All shows are rain or shine. Wine, beer and food will be available at the majority of the performances. More performances will be added through October 2016.

One infant dead, 2 toddlers injured in 3 separate pool incidents Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Two area toddlers suffered near drowning incidents Saturday, May 14. A third infant drowned in a pool-related incident, Thursday, May 12. The first of the May 14 tragedies occurred in Wildomar. The second incident occurred in Moreno Valley, according to Riverside Sheriff’s and Cal Fire officials. In the May 12 incident, an infant died after falling into a residential pool in the 500 Block of North “D” Street, in Perris, according to a sheriff’s official. Very few details have been released about the drowning and an investigation is ongoing. The victim has not yet been officially identified and has only been described as an infant boy. Riverside County emergency communications dispatchers received a 911 call at about noon, from a person reporting the drowning. Deputies from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Perris Police Station responded to the house and immediately began life-saving efforts, administering CPR and First Aid,” w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

Riverside Sheriff’s Sergeant Curt Harris explained in a press release. Within minutes, paramedics from the California Department of Forestry and American Medical Response arrived on-scene and continued CPR before rushing the baby to the hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, according to Harris. A death investigation has been initiated but, “No arrests were made at the time,” according to Harris. Just two days after the fatal drowning in Perris, two more children suffered near drowning incidents within miles of each other. Both of those children survived. The first near drowning incident was reported at 3:31 p.m., when Riverside County emergency communications dispatchers received

using a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony. The defendant, who is being held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta, made his initial court appearance that afternoon at the Southwest Justice Center. According to Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Brosche, deputies were called to the Orange Street home about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday to investigate reports of an assault.

The victim, whose name was withheld, was discovered in his residence with multiple stab wounds and was transported to nearby Inland Valley Medical Center, where he underwent emergency surgery. He’s now in stable condition and is expected to survive, Brosche said. Based on the victim’s statements and evidence collected at the scene, detectives quickly identified Vrab as the alleged assailant and went to his Elm Street home in Foun-

“A Menifee police officer located a major injury traffic collision at the intersection of McCall Boulevard and Sun City Boulevard in the city of Menifee,” Riverside County Sheriff’s Sergeant David Douglas explained in a press release. “The officer found an unresponsive motorcyclist down in the roadway. The motorcycle had collided with a passenger car and a pickup truck.” The deputy who happened upon the scene immediately after the accident occurred, was witnessed by motorists and bystanders attempting to provide life-saving procedures to

the downed rider. Confirming what witnesses had reported seeing, Douglas wrote, “The officer began Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (C.P.R.) on the motorcyclist until relieved by fire department paramedics. Unfortunately, the motorcyclist was pronounced deceased at the scene. “McCall Boulevard was completely closed in both directions from Bradley Road to Winged Foot Drive. Sun City Boulevard was completely closed in both directions at McCall Boulevard,” Douglas explained. The two roadways were closed

It was just another day for pet rescue owner Morgan Dulak. Scanning Facebook, she discovered two stray doberman pinscher puppies living on the streets of Tijuana, Mexico, in dire need of help. Then named Hocus and Pocus, Ohana Paws Rescue stepped up to lend aid. “They obviously have never been shown love and didn’t even understand what a warm blanket was,” she said. “Before sending them across the border to us, another group had them spayed at a vet in Mexico.” That surgery involved suturing with unsterile fishing line, both inside and out, according to Dulak. “Our local vet corrected the surgery right away and saved their lives,” she said. “Once the dogs completely healed, they got their happily ever after with families that

shower them with love.” Dulak started Ohana Paws Rescue with her mother, Karen Koskinen, at her home in Wildomar just after her 23rd birthday. Now, four years later, she is helping build furfamilies one household at a time across southwest Riverside county. The name, Ohana Paws Rescue, stems from the Disney animated feature, “Lilo and Stitch” and the famous quote; “Ohana means family, family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.” That rings true for anyone who has known the love of a rescue animal, according to Dulak. “We learned about the shelters in San Bernardino County and were heartbroken over how many animals they euthanize daily,” she said. “We both wished something could be done and figured maybe we could do something to help.” After saving a dog or two here and there, Morgan noticed it had a

domino effect. “We have gained the best foster parents I could possibly ask for, and Ohana Paws Rescue kept on growing and saving more lives,” she said. For Dulak, purebred dogs are no more special than shelter animals. “We love showing people that the ones in need aren’t second class citizens, so to speak,” she said. “Rescue cats and dogs need love too and are just as great, if not better, than pedigreed dogs in every way.” Dulak’s boxer, Mia, came from the Riverside animal shelter. “Mia is the best dog I’ve ever had. I get compliments on how well behaved and beautiful she is everywhere we go and people are stunned when they find out she’s a pound puppy,” she said. Most of the creatures that are brought to Ohana Paws Rescue arrive to her through social media. The Facebook groups and pages are

Children & Family Commission. Using funding from the grant, health officials are hoping to prevent the potential loss of lives to pool-related accidents. The funding, which the Riverside County Board of Supervisors recently accepted, will pay the cost of “selfrescue” courses for as many as 50 infants up to 18 months old. Under the watchful eye of an instructor, infants become familiar with water and eventually learn techniques to prevent drowning if they happen to fall into a pool or spa. The classes will be offered at various locations in the county. The grant will continue through November and is being administered through the Injury Prevention division of Riverside University Health System – Public Health.

12600 block of Memorial Way, in Moreno Valley. Riverside County emergency dispatchers received a call reporting the emergency at the Stonegate Apartment complex pool, at 3:42 p.m. Emergency first responders arrived within minutes of the reported call and found a male toddler who had already been pulled from a pool at the apartment complex. The toddler was conscious and breathing before the arrival of CalFire and AMR personnel. “The child was transported via ground ambulance to an area hospital” for further evaluation according to Hagemann.

how she has met most of her foster families and nonprofit business supporters. “I moved to Wildomar when I was 9 years old, and grew up with a pretty rural background, perfect for taking in needy four legged critters,” she said. “I’d go out for bike rides with friends and just come home with a kitten under my arm.” Ohana is more a virtual pet rescue than a physical facility, and adoption fees for cats and kittens start at $60 for each, or $100 for a pair. Puppies adoption rates are $200, and adult dogs adopt at $150 per pet. “We try and keep our adoption rates reasonable, however we tend to lose money on kittens and cats,” she said. “We use strictly foster homes so these animals can feel more comfortable and loved until their forever families come along,” she said. As of May 2016, Ohana is caring for more cats and kittens than dogs. “Between all our foster homes, we can be caring for anywhere from 10 to 50 animals at a time between the few of us,” she said. “As of right now we have more cats since kitten season is hitting us hard and we feel they’re the ones that need the most help at this time.”

TVUSD School Board elections, you don’t get to vote! Editor’s Note: The following opinion piece was received through email last week. In light of the fact TVUSD’s recent decision to vote by-district rather than at-large, and that it remains a hot button issue with many of our readers, I decided to give up my opinion space to run this piece instead. The opinions herein are that of the author and do not necessarily reflect facts or the opinions of Valley News or any of its employees. To submit a “Letter to the Editor,” or any other news and information for publication, email valleyeditor@reedermedia. com. On May 12, the State Board of Education approved TVUSD’s expedited effort to change the way local board members are elected. The result is that 60 percent of voters within TVUSD boundaries will be unable to vote in the November school board election. If you live in French Valley, Paloma

del Sol, Meadowview, Paseo del Sol, Crowne Hill, Wine Country, and many other neighborhoods, this includes you. The District’s stated rationale for rushing to change the rules is fear of a lawsuit based on voter disenfranchisement, even though no evidence of disenfranchisement has been presented. Our school district has experienced several well-publicized mishaps in the last few years, contributing to three new members being elected in the 2014 elections. Two long-serving incumbents, Kristi Rutz-Robbins and Alan Pulsipher, are up for re-election this November and don’t want to face the same fate as their colleagues two years ago. The new election rules make it so Rutz-Robbins and Pulsipher only have to face challengers from the area of the district in which they live. This is a distinct advantage for them, an advantage

that they voted to give themselves. Board members aren’t supposed to vote on issues that give them a personal advantage. District staff’s efforts to protect these board members did not go unnoticed by the board. Superintendent Ritter just received a massive salary increase that will take him from $216,000 to $276,000 over the next few years, a 28 percent increase. This is remarkable considering teachers and classified staff received a 1 percent salary increase. Mr. Ritter, when he retires in a few years, will leave with a taxpayer-funded pension in excess of $200,000 annually. The following are just a few examples of what’s been going on in TVUSD over the last few years that account for Rutz-Robbins and Pulsipher feeling the need to seek protection from the electorate: A bungled 21 Jump Street style undercover drug sting that netted

no kingpins, rounded up many special education students, and resulted in the District being soundly chastised by an administrative law judge Credible allegations of nepotism against the superintendent that were dismissed by an “internal investigation” The mishandled termination of a middle school principal resulting in student walkouts and parent protests The forced closure of a successful charter school by unilateral contract modification, fabricated educational performance criteria, and grossly inaccurate financial data. Are any of these things concerning to you? If so, that’s too bad because three of your five board members decided that most of you will be unable to vote this November. The District spent thousands of taxpayer dollars last week to send

their public information officer and attorney to Sacramento to convince the State Board of Education that the voting change is appropriate since there were no protests against it. Although the District’s actions to change the voting rules violate two provisions of Ed Code section 33051, the State Board was convinced that everyone in our community was notified of this change. Did you know you wouldn’t be able to vote? This situation is the poster child for term limits for school board members. Rutz-Robbins and Pulsipher have served our community for many years, but they’ve become so close to district administration that they’ve lost their ability to provide the healthy bit of scrutiny that is essential for effective governance. Rob Clause Temecula, CA

Fees imposed by various state and local jurisdictions are another problem. For example. regulations require one “low cost” home for every 10 built, or payment of a fee which can amount to thousands. Storm water compliance can cost up to $25,000 and hooking up to water and sewer lines can add another $20,000 – per home! California’s huge unmet housing

demand should lead to developers lining up to fill the need. That has not been the case in recent years. In San Diego County alone, we need about 12,000 new units per year to meet demand. While local construction once met or exceeded that number, the county is short approximately 50,000 housing units over the past 10 years. Stringent regulations and exces-

sive fees make expanding our housing stock extremely difficult. This crisis will worsen and costs will continue to rise as long as government continues to hinder the state’s once thriving housing industry. Until these factors are resolved, the Golden State simply won’t be golden for millions of people.

California’s housing crisis Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

California is the nation’s largest state, with a population estimated at just over 39 million. The availability of housing has not kept up with population growth. As is so often the case in California, government intervention has been counterproductive, resulting in an inadequate

supply and skyrocketing housing costs, along with a lack of sustainable water and energy reliability. Programs that subsidize housing cannot begin to meet the massive backlog that has been created. But there is an obvious solution to this problem – less government with fewer, more streamlined regulations that will increase the supply of housing and decrease costs.

That telemarketer may be your congressman Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

There is a reason most people screen their telephone calls. Telemarketers. Would it surprise you to know that the most aggressive bunch of telemarketers are the very people we have elected and sent to Washington, D.C., our very own representative and senators? If you have made the mistake of donating to a political party or one of its offshoots like a congressional or senatorial committee, you know what I mean. At first it may be flattering to get a call from one of these people inviting you to a “special event” or thanking you for your past support. However, you can be sure that the primary reason for that call is to separate you from your money. The phone calls never stop, even during working hours. On April 24, “60 Minutes” showed us the extent of the problem in a segment it called, “Dialing for Dollars.” We are well aware that representatives and senators are under a lot

of pressure to raise money for the next election, but it’s not just about their own elections; it’s about raising money, big money, for the party. If they don’t, they are literally on their own if they are challenged. In that segment Norah O’Donnell interviewed Rep. David Jolly (RFla.), who won a special election in 2014 and shortly thereafter was taken to school by party bosses. They let him known that his primarily job in Washington was to raise $18,000 per day on the phone, for as long as he holds the office. According to some that translates to about 30 hours per week, per lawmaker. Aren’t they supposed to be attending committee meetings, studying and passing legislation and meeting constituent needs? It’s not just Republicans. Democrats are expected to do the same thing. In fact, the members interviewed for this segment allege that the congressional schedule is conveniently arranged to allow them time to do all this telemarketing. Representatives and senators are prevented by law from using

their offices to fundraise, so each party provides a suite of private offices within walking distance from the Capitol for that purpose. There, they are provided a list of donors with detailed information about each one, along with phone numbers and a script. Jolly, who is one of five GOP candidates running for Marco Rubio’s Senate seat, rebelled. He no longer makes those calls and, in effect, now is campaigning without a net. That’s not all. He has sponsored the STOP Act, which would ban all federal officials from directly soliciting donations. Not surprising, he is out there virtually alone. Only six of his colleagues have signed on as co-sponsors, and some of those members are on their way out the door. The implication from the “60 Minutes” segment is that the increased pressure on these lawmakers to raise money is because of the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. To a certain extent this is true, but it’s not the whole truth. Our founders envisioned a citizen legislature, with representatives

before an election, so these super PACs can hold representatives and senators accountable for how they vote on these issues. This decision essentially leveled the playing field. Want to take money out of politics? Congress should pass a law that prevents members from working on or voting on any bill that affects an individual or entity that has been a campaign contributor. This is, and always has been, a conflict of interest and should be stopped. Unfortunately that has as much chance of passing as the STOP Act because most citizens – PACs or no PACs – are asleep.

Letter to the editor local volunteers and State Agencies have taken action in order to try and help with this issue. How much responsibility do you believe lies with local residents as opposed to the state government? While I believe that everyone should feel the need to help out, I

realize that that is highly improbable. So I think that the state government should feel obligated to preserve places like Lake Elsinore in order to keep the beauty of nature alive. Angel Arellano Santa Ana, CA

RESCUE from page B-6 In Ohana Paws Rescue’s experience, people surrender their pets for a variety of heartbreaking reasons, however their most urgent need is saving pets that are scheduled to be euthanized. “We’ve heard it all,” Dulak said. “Moving, pregnant, divorcing, simple and fixable behavior issues, people not researching the breed before bringing a dog home and finding out it’s too much for them to handle or that their dog sheds too much. We will help if a family is adamant about surrendering their pet, but primarily, we seek to help rehome animals that are scheduled for euthanizing.” As with most shelters, money is Ohana Paws Rescue’s primary need. Many of their critters have costly health issues requiring vet care and even surgery. “We hold donation drives and fundraisers throughout the year,” she said. “We also are in need of reliable foster homes to help care for more Ohana pets.” Ohana Paws Rescue has an active Facebook page, Ohana Paws Rescue for those who are interested in learning more and potentially fostering a rescue pet. Their pets are named with loveable, memorable Disney character names, more often than not. “We expect our foster families

who would come to Washington for a short time each year to do the business of the country and then go back home to their real jobs. Congress was never supposed to be a full-time job. Legislators come to Washington often with the best intentions. Then, they become drunk with power and try to make it a career. Big corporations give them money to do their bidding, so once in Washington, they have plenty to spend on touting their virtues before each and every election. That made it hard, if not impossible, for a challenger to defeat an incumbent. Citizens United changed all that. Citizens United simply allows groups of citizens who have common interests to band together in PACs to protect those interests, whether it’s the environment, energy, defense, school choice, balanced budget, etc. (Unlike traditional nonprofits, they must disclose their expenditures and their donors.)

The 2016 CIF Southern Section Ford Boys Baseball playoff pairings were released Monday, May 16, and the road to championships for 13 of our local teams begin this week with wild card games set to start as early as Wednesday, May 18. DIVISION 1 The Murrieta Mesa Rams (22-7, 12-3), who took the Southwestern League by storm this season and ranked No. 6 in the final CIF-SS rankings, are the #1 seed in Division 1, Vista Murrieta (20-10, 11-4) secured the #2 seed and Great Oak (16-14, 9-6), who were the third place team this season in league, will have to fight to get to round one as a wild card selection. Round one games will begin Friday, May 20, and the Rams, who will be the home team, will find out who they play after Wednesday’s wild card game between Lakewood (20-10, 8-4) and Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks) (19-10, 10-8). Vista Murrieta will travel to face Aliso Niguel (21-9, 7-5), the second place team from the South Coast League, and Great Oak will be at home midweek to face Dana Hills (13-16, 5-7), who were the third place team out of the South Coast League as well. A win for the Wolfpack in that first game will send them to San Jaun Capistrano to face the No. 1 ranked Jserra Lions (21-6, 10-2) out of the Trinity League, Friday, May 20. DIVISION 3 Temescal Canyon (19-9, 11-1), the big winner out of the Sunbelt League and ranked No. 10 in the final CIF-SS rankings, are the #1 seed as the playoffs start, Paloma Valley (17-9, 9-3) are the #2 seed and Elsinore (12-18, 7-6) snuck in as the #3 seed and will have to fight to get to round one via a wild card game midweek. The Titans, who beat Paloma Valley in a showdown for the title last week, will be home to face Corona Del Mar (21-4, 11-3), the third place team out of a very strong Pacific Coast League. The Wildcats will also be home this week as they take on Charter Oak (14-11, 11-4) out of the Hacienda League and Elsinore will have to fight on the road against Xavier Prep (11-15, 6-6) in order to get to the first round, where they would face the No. 9 ranked Culver City Centaurs (19-7, 10-0). DIVISION 5 Only two local teams from Division 5 will see action this week, Temecula’s Linfield Christian School and Hemet’s Tahquitz Titans. The Linfield Lions, who garnished one of the best overall regular season records locally, 21-6, will travel to face Windward (14-8, 8-6), the fourth place team out of the Gold Coast League, in a wild card game to be held Wednesday, May 18. A win against the Wildcats will pit the Lions against the Banning Broncos (16-4, 12-3) in first round action Friday, May 20. The second place Tahquitz Titans (15-9, 11-4), of the Mountain Pass League, will travel to take on the Olympic League second place team, the No. 10 ranked Maranatha Minutemen (19-7-1, 9-3) Friday, May 20.

DIVISION 6 A good amount of action will take place in the Division 6 playoffs as five local teams take to the field Thursday, May 19, in hopes of making it to the second round of the CIF-SS playoffs. Calvary Murrieta (16-5, 9-1), ranked No. 3 as the South Valley League champs, face St. Genevieve (6-11, 5-5) out of the Santa Fe League in the first round, No. 10 ranked Rancho Christian (17-7, 8-2), who took second place in the SVL under new head coach Tony Nobiensky (formerly of TVHS), had their best season to date and will face local neighbors to the east from the Arrowhead League, the California Lutheran C-Hawks (11-9, 11-3), Temecula Prep (109-1, 5-5), also of the SVL, travels to Bermuda Dunes to face Desert Christian Academy (11-11-1, 6-2) while the Anza based Hamilton Bobcats (13-5, 12-1), who took the Arrowhead League championship, face Redlands Adventist (10-8, 6-6) of the Victory League at home. The championship finals are slated for Saturday, June 4. Divisions 1, 2, and 3 will play at San Manuel Baseball Stadium in San Bernardino and Divisions 4, 5, 6 and 7 at the University of California, Riverside Baseball Stadium. All games with the exception of championship games are scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m. unless otherwise noted. SOFTBALL The 2016 CIF Southern Section Ford Girls Softball playoff pairings were also released Monday, May 16, and 12 local teams began the fight to be the best of the best this week with wild card games that began Tuesday, May 17. DIVISION 1 The Great Oak Wolfpack (15-6, 9-1), fresh off their first ever league title, ended the season ranked at No. 9 in the final CIF-SS rankings and are the #1 seed in Division 1, Vista Murrieta (16-7, 7-3) secured the #2 seed and Murrieta Valley, who were tied with Chaparral and Murrieta Mesa with 4 wins and 6 losses in league, got the nod securing the #3 seed. Round one games will begin Thursday, May 19, and the Lady

Wolfpack, who are the home team, will battle a West Ranch team from Valencia that is 5-5 in league and 19-8 overall. Vista Murrieta and Murrieta Valley will be on the road as the Lady Broncos gear up to play Chino Hills (22-9, 7-3) while the Lady Nighthawks prepare to be tested by Norco (23-5, 9-1) out of the Big VIII. DIVISION 3 West Valley (17-9-1, 7-3), the cochamps out of the Mountain Pass League are the #1 seed as the playoffs start, while San Jacinto (13-156-4), who placed third behind the Mustangs as well as Beaumont, took the three seed, but will have to first play in a wild card game in order to advance to the first round. The Lady Mustangs will face San Clemente (12-10-1, 6-2), at home and the second place team out of the Sea View League and San Jacinto hit the road Tuesday, May 17, to take on Santa Fe (15-12, 7-3) from the Del Rio League. If the Lady Tigers win on the road, they will have to then travel to Mission Hills to take on the No. 5 ranked Alemany Warriors (19-8, 7-1), the #1 seed out of the Mission League. DIVISION 4 The Lady Linfield Lions, ranked at No. 9 in the final CIF-SS rankings, lost only one game all season, garnishing the best ever overall softball record by a local team at 23-1, winning league with an almost immaculate record of 13 wins and 1 loss. Needless to say, Linfield are the #1 seed out of the Ambassador League as the first week of playoffs began. Temescal Canyon (20-6, 13-2), who edged out Paloma Valley (17-9, 12-3) for the top spot in the Sunbelt League also drew a #1 seed, while Paloma Valley fought the wild card game earlier this week in an attempt to make it through to the first round. The Lady Lakeside Lancers (12-15, 8-7) also squeaked by into the playoffs and also find themselves having to go the wild card route as well. Linfield plays at home Thursday, May 19, facing the winner of a wild card match-up between Segerstrom (15-7, 8-2) and Santa Barbara’s San Marcos Royals (16-10, 6-6). Temescal Canyon also sits in a position where they will be the home

team, but have to wait to see who won between Temple City (12-9-1, 9-3) and Sultana (20-8, 6-4) during wild card action Tuesday, May 17, the same day that Paloma Valley takes on San Gorgonio (16-8, 8-7) at home and Lakeside faces Valley Christian out of Cerritos. DIVISION 7 In the Division 7 bracket the ladies of Santa Rosa Academy have much to smile about after winning the South Valley League championship, drawing the #1 seed Calvary Murrieta came in a close second and will be #2 seed in the post season brackets and Hamilton of the Arrowhead League caught a good break as well, advancing to the first round as the #3 seed, where they do have to face the Lady Rangers Thursday, May 19. The wild card games that started Tuesday, May 17, include California Lutheran (6-14, 4-6) and Temecula Prep (12-7, 7-3), who were both at home to face their opponents. Calvary Murrieta will travel to face Upland Christian Academy (97-1, 7-3) in round one action as Cal Lutheran hits the wild card round where they will face the Majestic League third place team, Bethel Christian from Riverside (3-11, 3-5). A win there will pit the Lady C-Hawks against Canoga Park’s Faith Baptist (12-10-1, 8-0) in round one. T-prep will welcome the Academy of Academic Excellence (10-12, 5-7) from Apple Valley to their fields in hopes of winning that wild card game where they would advance to play the Archer School for Girls (11-7, 8-0) in first round action. The championships will be held at Deanna Manning Stadium at Colonel Bill Barber Park in Irvine Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4. All games with the exception of championship games are scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m. unless otherwise noted. TENNIS Over 150 boys’ tennis teams qualified for the playoffs this season throughout the five divisions of play, including several local teams. Those teams include perennial powerhouses like Great Oak and Heritage, but also include some surprise teams like Murrieta Valley, who haven’t made the CIF playoffs

in over 10 years. DIVISION 3 Temecula Valley tied to rely on the effort of standout senior Zach Arellano, the team’s lone All-SWL selection last season. After ending the season ranked as the No. 8 team in Division 3 play, TV could not get past Arlington, losing in the first round, 10-8, cutting their post season short. Once again the Great Oak Wolfpack finished their tennis season off as expected, earning their third-straight Southwestern League Championship. This year’s No. 3 ranked team from Division 3 will look to further their playoff advances than last season’s team, who fell out in the second round of play. Whether the team was being led by the SWL’ s No.2 individual player Steve Howe, their SWL Championship doubles team (Harrison Carrillo and Joe Balleweg), or the SWL runner-up doubles team (Ben Burdick-Rutz and Connor Davis), the Wolfpack made it to the Quarter finals, losing to Yorba Linda, 11-7. For the first time in 10 years the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks boys’ tennis team advanced to the CIFSS team playoffs, thanks in large part to their No.1 player, David Ramirez. Ramirez was this year’s SWL Individual Champion, losing just one match all season long. As the No. 3 seed in the SWL, Murrieta Valley faced off against the Moore League’s No. 3 seed in Woodrow Wilson High School from Long Beach, defeating them 14-4. With the win they went on to face Martin Luther King High School (17-2), the Big VIII’s No. 1 seed, but lost in first round action, 12-6. DIVISION 5 Heritage High School, the Sunbelt League’s back-to-back Champions, are the No. 1 seeded team in Division 5 play, thanks to a stellar season that sees them make the CIF playoffs yet again. With wins so far over Serrano (14-4), Garey (17-1), and Arroyo (12-6), they faced off in semifinal action Wednesday, May 18, against Alta Loma. The Patriots have one of the most dominant teams in recent memory with back-to-back Sunbelt League Champion Adrian Castle, runnerup Andrew Johnson and the thirdplace finisher Angel Perez set to play in individuals, and their three dominant doubles teams in backto-back Sunbelt League Champions Logan Dreese and Tyler Baca, the runners-up Justin Kushner and Jack Bowler, and the third-place team of Paul Bracamonte and Anthony Garcia. The Elsinore Tigers continued to improve on the courts, jumping from their third-place finish last season by doubling their win totals and moving into second-place behind Heritage. After finishing the season 7-3 in league play and 10-5 for the whole year, Elsinore was set to move onto the First Round of play with what was an easy 18-0 win over San Jacinto High School (8-9, No.3 in Mountain Pass League). The Tigers went on to face San Gorgonio High School (12-2), the San Andreas League’s No. 1 seeded team in the first round, but dropped the contest 11-7, after a valiant fight. In perhaps the most difficult wild card game out of all the matchups,

HS Softball: Great Oak, Linfield, Santa Rosa and Temescal Canyon take home league championships Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

With the end of the regular season comes the beginning of playoffs for CIF-SS softball. Several lucky teams were selected to continue their seasons for at least one more game, with four of those teams winning outright league champions. Southwestern League Champions, Great Oak High School, overcame the odds to down the Broncos thanks to a nearly perfect league season, and Linfield High School turned in a one-loss season on their way to an Ambassador League Title. Santa Rosa Academy cruised to their first ever South Valley League Championship after winning just five games last season and Temescal Canyon took home their second-straight Sunbelt League Title and third-straight 20+ win season.

charge on the mound, winning 11 games each. Ducharme sported an incredible 0.12 ERA in 11 complete games pitched, eight of which were shutouts. She also struck out 93 batters, which incredibly was second-best on the team to Perez’s 128. They allowed just 23 runs to score against them in league play, putting their Ambassador League ERA at 1.64.

Ambassador League Linfield Christian School - (23-1, 13-1 league) Like their baseball team, the Lions boasted the best record amongst local teams, losing just one game on their way to an easy Ambassador League Championship. Head Coach Celeste Ducharme continues to shock the rest of the softball world, after turning a four-win team in 2014 into a oneloss team in 2016. Linfield scored a league secondbest 159 runs on their way to a 13-1 record in league play, 21 more than the next closest team. This incredible approach at the plate was led by a team of nine different players that drove in over 10 runs. It doesn’t look like the Lions are going to get any worse for the wear at the end of the season either, as they were led by junior Celeste Ducharme (.575, 2 HR, 27 RBI), sophomore Alex Perez (.625, 3 HR, 36 RBI) and freshman Payton Howie (.493, 5 HR, 34 RBI). Perez and Ducharme also led the

Southwestern League Great Oak High School - (15-6, 9-1 league) Head Coach David Mercado continues to lead the Wolfpack to excellence. After losing to the Murrieta Valley Nighthawks for the last two seasons, Great Oak exceeded expectations, turning in a 9-1 league performance to the tune of a Southwestern League Championship. The Wolfpack’s strengths were countless, as they turned in stellar performances both at the plate and on the mound. Their 97 runs scored in league play were the secondmost of all SWL teams, thanks to a relentless approach from seniors Autumn Storms (.345, 5 HR, 20 RBI) and Dylinn Stancil (.463, 2

HR, 13 RBI). Great Oak’s greatest performances at the plate came from their juniors though, as both Kayla Green (.353, 3 HR, 23 RBI) and Berta Nejo (.342, 6 HR, 22 RBI) led the team in runs driven in. Perhaps their most dominant season on the mound ever, the Wolfpack limited their SWL opposition to just 37 runs scored over 10 games. This excellence was led by Autumn Storms, who had a 11-5 record, with a 0.63 ERA and a team-high 75 strikeouts. The future of Wolfpack pitching also looks bright, with sophomore Sydney Preston, who registered a 4-0 record with a 1.05 ERA and 32 strikeouts.

perennial powerhouse Calvary Murrieta, winning just one more game than them on their way to the championship. Despite scoring the third-lowest run total in the SVL, the Rangers still managed to edge out their opponents with ease, thanks to a stellar pitching effort which gave up just 21 runs. Their offensive attack was led by a trio of freshmen, each of which drove in at least 14 runs. The team will rely on Kelci Hill (.725, 6 HR, 29 RBI), Destiny Granados (.435, 2 HR, 15 RBI) and Kayla Constancio (.500, 2 HR, 14 RBI) for at least three more years as they look to repeat their performance from this season. Hill was also dominant on the mound this season, registering a 16-1 record with a 1.74 ERA and 243 strikeouts. Those totals led the South Valley League and set new school records, which will not likely be broken for some time.

South Valley League Santa Rosa Academy - (17-3-1, 8-2 league) In just their second ever season as a team, the Rangers have already captured their first South Valley League title and are set to play in their first ever Division 7 CIF-SS playoffs. After a five-win season in 2015, new head coach Glen Carson took the reins and brought his team barreling to the top of the league. Santa Rosa barely edged out

Sunbelt League Temescal Canyon High School (20-6, 13-2 league) The Titans can’t be stopped. Just like their baseball team, the softball team took home their secondstraight Sunbelt League title. For

the girls though, they also turned in their third-straight 20+ win season, and incredible feat under Head Coach Daniel Bosna. Though they barely edged out Paloma Valley by one game, the Titans were far and away the Sunbelt League’s most dominant team this season, scoring 168 runs, 26 more than the next closest team. Their explosive offense was led by a duo of seniors in Emma Bordenkecher (.641, 10 HR, 40 RBI) and Kendall Sampang (.360, 6 HR, 26 RBI). They also got a great performance out of sophomore Haley Cassidy (.493, 2 HR, 24 RBI), who finished third on the team in batting average and runs driven in. The Titans relied on a duo of pitchers as well this season, who combined for 19 of their 20 wins. Led by junior Bibi Villeda (11-4, 3.30 ERA, 37K) and freshman Celine Brito (8-2, 3.37 ERA, 47K), they were able to limit their SBL opposition to a second-best 39 runs scored. For the second-straight year Temescal Canyon will enter the CIF-SS Division 4 playoffs as the Sunbelt League’s No. 1 seed.

DIVISION 3 Perris (5-5) Perris went into their playoff matchup as the Sunbelt League’s No. 3 seeded team, after a .500 finish in league play. The Panthers with one playoff match under their belt, in which they defeated San Jacinto High School in their Wild Card Game, took an easy 3-0 victory into a tougher opponent in Gahr High School. Gahr, the San Gabriel Valley League’s No. 1 team and the No. 8 ranked team in Division 3 play, defeated Perris 3-0 in the first round.

BOYS’ VOLLEYBALL As the sport continues to pick up popularity in the local areas, boys’ volleyball has yet to be officially recognized in the Temecula region by CIF, though it is something that should be happening in the very near future. Without the Southwestern League as an official league, both Vista Murrieta and Murrieta Valley find themselves in the Sunbelt League for volleyball, but that hasn’t stopped Vista from continuing their rise to a dominant force in all sports, finding themselves in yet another playoff bracket.

Paloma Valley (22-6) The back-to-back Sunbelt League Champions will look to make better on their less than perfect finish to last season, where they were knocked out in the semifinals of Division 3 CIF play. This year, the team played with an inspired effort which carried them to their second-straight league title with ease. They hosted the Mountain Pass League’s No. 2 seeded team in West Valley High School in their first round matchup and won 3-0. The momentum lasted through the quarterfinals after beating Arroyo Grande, but a bid at making it further than that was halted by Santa Monica who defeated the Wildcats 3-0. DIVISION 5 Calvary Murrieta (11-8) The lone team to make it to CIF play* this season, the Warriors hoped to continue their accent in the volleyball world. After finishing last year as the South Valley League’s No. 4 team, Calvary Murrieta made a huge jump to first place this season, locking them in for their second-straight CIF appearance. They hosted the Hacienda League’s No.2 team in Los Altos in the first round, but unfortunately would not escape victorious, losing 3-0. *Nuview Bridge lost to Arrowhead Christian, 3-0, in Wild Card play. **Schedules, standings and rankings provided by MaxPreps and the California Interscholastic Federation – Southern Section.

HS Baseball: Murrieta Mesa, Temescal Canyon and Calvary Murrieta capture league championships

Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

The 2015-16 regular season has officially come to a close for dozens of local teams. After four months of games the post season pictures have been painted and teams can begin to prepare for the CIF-SS Playoffs. Amongst the many teams moving on are the Southwestern League Champions in Murrieta Mesa High School, who won their first ever league title. Temescal Canyon captured their second-straight Sunbelt League Title, but first outright since 2011, and Calvary Murrieta, took home their second-straight South Valley League Championship. Southwestern League Murrieta Mesa High School (227, 12-3 league) This year’s Murrieta Mesa team defied all odds, overcoming a tough division that includes teams like

Vista Murrieta (20-10) and Great oak (16-14). In just his second year with the team, Head Coach Bryn Wade took the Rams from a 14-14 finish in 2015 to a record-setting season in 2016. The 22 wins, the most ever during the regular season for any local team, were brought about thanks in large part to their stellar all-around performance. Led by a slew of seniors, 14 to be exact, the Rams averaged a Southwestern League best 6.1 runs per game. They had five different players finish with 15+ RBIs on the year, most notably seniors Hunter Woodruff (.330, 2 HR, 23 RBI) Austen Salcedo (.376, 1 HR, 18 RBI, 16 SB) and Justin Randle (.385, 3 HR, 18 RBI, 16 SB). The Rams weren’t just deadly at the plate though this season, as they combined for a 1.72 team ERA over 203.1 innings pitched. Seniors Nate Stillinovich (5-3, 1.46 ERA, 42 K), Kevin Palm (5-0, 1.49 ERA, 44 K)

and Zac Filos (6-2, 1.33 ERA, 44 K) created an incredible trio of pitchers who shutdown SWL opponents. Sunbelt League Temescal Canyon High School (19-9, 11-1 league) For the second-straight season the Titans have captured a Sunbelt League Title. However, this time around it’s different, as they won the division outright, rather than settling for a tie as they did last season with Paloma Valley. It’s the team’s first Sunbelt League Title since 2011, and the team’s third-straight season with at least 19 wins. After a rough preseason, which saw them lose six of their nine games, the Titans turned things around for division play, where they went 111, losing their one matchup against Paloma Valley, 2-1. They scored a Sunbelt League second-best 136 runs this season, thanks in large to junior Tyler Hardman, who finished the year

Two Temescal Canyon Baseball players commit to play in college JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The success of the Temescal Canyon baseball program is no fluke. It stems from hard work, both on and off the field, and two of their standout players this season certainly helped keep the school’s program on the map when it comes to college recruiters. Not only did the Titans win league for the second straight season, they had two signings this year out of their program, both who will be going to great schools. Shortstop Tyler Pritchard signed his letter of intent to play for USC and first baseman Dylan Alhanati signed his commitment to play for the University of La Verne. Temescal Canyon begins their bid for a 2016 CIF Championship this week when they face Corona Del Mar in first round action. Look for big things from the future Trojan and the future green and orange Leo.

with team-highs in batting average (.448), hits (39), home runs (4), RBIs (22) and doubles (10). They also received an inspired performance from their 10 seniors, especially Dylan Alhanati (.366, 2 HR, 18 RBI). On the mound, the Titans proved to be just as tough to hit as they gave up just 35 runs in league play, registering a 2.91 ERA over 197.1 innings. They had five different pitchers with three wins on the year, two of which never lost a game. Seniors Chad Bushong (4-5, 2.97 ERA, 51 K), Christian Bruno (3-1, 2.21 ERA, 14 K) and Matt Tomazin (3-0, 2.85 ERA, 18 K) were nearly unhittable in league play, picking up six of the team’s 11 league wins. South Valley League Calvary Murrieta High School (16-5, 9-1 league) The Warriors continue their dominant run on the diamond, taking home their second-straight South Valley

League Championship. In just his first season with the team, Head Coach Mike Feeney led Calvary Murrieta to what was another stellar year and the team’s fifth ever League Championship. Despite having just five seniors on the team, the Warriors were able to overwhelm their opponents, scoring a league high 106 runs in South Valley League play, while allowing just 19 runs to score. Nine different players drove in more than 10 runs, led by seniors Landon Schell (.551, 3 HR, 35 RBI), Brent Smith (.500, 1 HR, 29 RBI, 18 SB) and Aidan Stout (.385, 2 HR, 28 RBI) and junior Chae Hwang (.324, 23 RBI). Their success didn’t end at the plate though, as Schell, Stout, and Smith commanded the opposition from the mound, combining for a 14-5 record, a 1.74 ERA and 144 strikeouts through 12 complete games, three shutouts and 121 innings pitched.

Lady Pumas taste sweet victory, clinch second straight Sugar Bowl Natalie Witt SPECIAL TO THE VALLEY NEWS

Senior girls from Chaparral, Temecula Valley, and Great Oak high schools traded in helmets and padding for pigtails and flags this past Friday night for the annual Sugar Bowl powder-puff games. This year, the series of three games were played on Chaparral High’s football field. All of the girls have been practicing for months with the guidance of their coaches, who happen to be varsity football players at their respective high schools. The coaches trained the girls effectively by offering critique based on their experience playing the game. The two rivals on the opposite ends of town, Great Oak and Chaparral, faced off in the first game Friday, May 13. Chaparral Senior, Ka’lpolani Mortinson, played in honor of members of her soccer team who won the cup last year for Chaparral. “I want to defend their title,” she explained. Great Oak was unable to get any points past the Pumas. In the third quarter, Chaparral’s Madison Brown booted an astounding 67 yard punt. During the fourth, Chaparral Puma, Jordan Dow, made an incredible interception. “I saw the ball coming toward me,” she recalls, “and I had a rush of adrenaline. We are living right up to our expectations and we are going to take them!” And that they did. The game ended with Chaparral on top, 8-0. This meant the pressure was on for Great Oak, the Wolfpack needed at least one win to get them to the championship. Their only hope was to beat the Temecula Valley Golden Bears in the next game. For the Lady Golden Bears, seven of the girls have softball scholarships and their excellent skills morphed into exceptional football maneuvers. Perhaps this is what got them to dominate Great Oak with a 6 point lead by the end of the first quarter. Temecula

Valley’s MVP just so happened to be IBAF Women’s Baseball World Cup Silver medalist, Kelsie Whitmore. Whitmore made several passes and touchdowns throughout the game. She shared, “I have a lot of confidence in our teamwork. We are going to stay humble and win hard.” At halftime, the scoreboard read 8-6 and both teams stepped up their game into higher gear. Great Oak was able to score a touchdown but Temecula Valley would not give way. The final score was 14-6, advancing the ladies of TV to the championship against Chaparral. Whitmore predicted her team would need to work a little harder competing against the Pumas but ensured they were all “ready to go” as they headed into the final game. The time had finally come and the highly anticipated game ensued. Tension filled the air as both sides of the bleachers became more hyped than ever. The championship was between the Golden Bears, who have never before taken the cup, versus Chaparral Pumas, the reigning champs. The first quarter was stiff. Both teams did not let anything slide and the score remained 0-0. During the second quarter, the Lady Golden Bears made their first touchdown, finally getting points on the scoreboard. Exciting things started happening in the second half as the game was drawing to a close. Dow made another incredible interception on the day for the Pumas and gained yardage, sprinting all the way to the 10-yard line. Her team was able to gain more yards with a few more plays, getting them just inches away from a touch down. For the rest of the quarter, Chaparral kept themselves as close as possible to the goal line, which was too close for comfort for the Golden Bears. The tables were turned in the last quarter when Temecula Valley was hanging just inches away from the Pumas’ goal. With the Golden Bears remaining so close to the goal line and 36

seconds remaining on the clock, up by 6 points, the crowd was sure they were going to take the win. That is until Chaparral’s Bianca McFarland intercepted a pitch play to the right side which had gotten tipped. A hush fell over the crowd as she darted from the 30-yard line, running faster than anyone trying to stop her momentum. The audience roared as she made it past the 10-yard line, then the 5, and made the winning touchdown of the powderpuff games. Out of breath and reliving what she had just done, McFarland said, “It was amazing! Last week I kept getting knocked down and now I finally got it done. I knew I had to make a big play.” After her score with 27 seconds left in the game, Chaparral hit hard again with an incredible interception of the ball. For the rest of the championship, both teams remained midfield even though the Golden Bears were fighting hard to add to the scoreboard. Time did not allow this though as the whistle was

Southwest Riverside scores at Oceanside’s 10th Annual Beach Soccer Worldwide Tournament Ashley Ludwig VALLEY NEWS STAFF WRITER

For the 10th year in a row, thousands descended upon Oceanside, California, for the Beach Soccer Worldwide tournaments. Over the weekend of May 14 and 15, the weather was cool and cloudy but the Harbor Beach in Oceanside was glowing with tie-dye and neon bright colored jerseys as teams from across the world came to play in the famed sand tournament. Youth soccer clubs from Southwest Riverside competed with other clubs and other cities over the two days of tournament game play, and in some brackets, even competing against their own players. “This was our second year attending the Beach Soccer Worldwide tournament,” Robin Ford, soccer mom and wife of Temecula United coach Matt Ford said about the weekend. “This year, my husband coached half of the boy’s under 14 team for TU, and they placed first in their bracket.” The Temecula United team was made up of Ben Ford, Nate Arias, Anthony Flores, Daniel Rodriguez (goalkeeper), Manny Chavez, Mike

Goulding and Gabriel Abbes. “It was a truly unique experience for them to play on the beach,” Robin Ford said. “We love to watch the professional teams play, as well as watch the kids’ games.” Like many area families, the Fords had two children playing in the sand. Their daughter, playing for Temecula Valley Soccer Association’s Signature Team, and their son, playing with Temecula United. This weekend, the Dubai team Al Alhi won it all, with such stars as Bruno Novo – Madjer Sariaiva, the former Portuguese national team captain in final victory over Brazil. Youth players lined up to meet and greet with the pros after the games, getting them to sign jerseys, balls and pose for pictures. “I spent more time watching the professionals play, bicycle kicks and such,” mom and soccer enthusiast Danielle Eblen said. “It’s a fun weekend for the kids, and makes them tougher as individual players.” On the smaller sand fields, teams met in age-bracketed play to compete for the top spots in each “sand” or “sea” level tournament. “The two Temecula United Under 14 boys’ teams were hoping to play

each other, but at the semi-finals, the other boys lost the semifinal match to make fourth place,” Ford said. “They thought it would be fun to play each other and take it home either way, but everyone gathered to watch the final match.” According to Ford, in a game where children just want to play in the sand, and many rules are outright opposite of traditional soccer, the weekend was mostly about getting together with friends and family, and having a great time doing it. “Making it to the championship was fun, but enjoy watching the camaraderie of the boys rooting for each other,” she said. Boys Under 11, Temecula United team, led by Joel Shackleford, fought hard to the end of their bracket to place second in their division. Esther Martinez watched and took photos of her son, Tate, doing a bicycle kick. “Tate loved playing on the small field with fewer players, and so much time with the ball,” she said. “He was able to play on a team with two of his best friends, which made for a memorable experience. There were so many familiar faces at the beach all weekend.” Temecula had a large showing at all ages, with clubs represented from Murrieta Surf, Temecula United, TVSA Signature, Legends and more. For many teams and players, it was the first opportunity to play in a tournament since clubs organized teams by age year instead of school year. For Allison Lurkins, it was her daughter Kelsey’s first tournament with her new age bracket. “Kelsey moved up to the 2005 team this year, and it is her first time playing on the beach,” Lurkins said. “The team managers made the uniforms and the girls wore emoji shirts, the other team wore neon green. The best part was playing at the beach, being there all day and looking for sand dollars between the games.” Danielle Eblen described her daughter McKenna’s experience in the beach tournament as one of team bonding, and getting to know her new team. “(McKenna) had fun,” she said. “She is new to the team, and this was a great team bonding experience. She spent a lot of time cheering on her team mates, and discovered it is fun to play with and against friends…and to leave it on the field, or in this case, the sand.”

Gold Girl recipients honored at Girl Scouts ceremony Ashley Ludwig STAFF WRITER

This year, the Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio Council presented nine Southwest Gold Award recipients with their official Gold Award Pin. The awards ceremony took place Saturday, April 9, at the historic Fox Theater in Redlands, California. Among those honored were Courtney Gaba, Catherine Lara Varney and Jenna Gaines. “These exceptional young women hail from all walks of life and represent the diversity of the Southwest region,” Jua-Nita Houston, Director of Marketing and External Relations for Girl Scouts of San Gorgonio said. “Their commonality is marked by

their dedication to community and the issues that matter within them.” A total of 46 Girl Scouts from San Gorgonio Council have earned the prestigious award in 2016. “Gold Award girls are among a very elite group of young women who have earned this prestigious award,” she said. “Less than 6 percent of Girl Scouts nationwide achieve this honor.” Each of the three recipients was named for their level of dedication to the Girl Scouts and their communities for which the honor was given. Courtney Gaba, who wanted to make a difference in the lives of teens under peer pressure to bully or be bullied, presented anti-bullying and self-esteem lectures at local

middle schools. Her work was to inspire a new generation of students who would love themselves and appreciate each others’ unique potential to live a beautiful life. Catherine Lara Varney worked with the Wildomar City Council and CR&R Waste Recycling Services to install blue recycling bins at Wildomar city parks. Noticing that her local parks held many public events without offering the benefits of recycling, she initiated the process, where bins were donated by Cal Recycle. The Girl Scout Gold Award nameplates are installed on the bins, advertising their place in the project. Jenna Gaines oversaw the creation of five “Little Free Libraries” in Murrieta. Her goal was that

they would benefit the elementary, middle and high school children, as well as the youth and senior centers in Murrieta. Jenna joined the Worldwide Little Free Library Book Drive to secure donations, and now these institutions provide cost-free books to all members in her community. “Each of these recipients share special qualities that foreshadow a lifetime of success. Service to others, hard work, perseverance, vision, teamwork and leadership,” Cynthia H. Breunig, President and CEO of GSSGC said. “As a Gold Award recipient myself, I salute them and welcome them into the sisterhood.” Over the course of the last century, millions of Girl Scout alumnae have positively impacted their communi-

ties and the world in similar ways, according to Houston. They have developed creative and sustainable Take Action projects, much in the way that Courtney Gaba, Catherine Lara Varney and Jenna Gaines have shown. “Now, as we celebrate the Gold Award Centennial in 2016, we invite you to join us in Celebrating ‘100 Years of Changing the World’ by honoring these young women of distinction,” Houston said. “Earning the Gold Award is just one of the amazing things girls can do as part of the Girl Scouts.

Need for more hospital beds and physicians in region reviewed at Healthcare Summit

Dr. Donald B Kearns, president and CEO, Rady Children’s Hospital and Health Center, talks about how Rady is planning to expand its pediatric services in the Murrieta area making it easier for regional families to use their services. Kearns was a featured speaker at the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Development Summit May 5.

Carol Allbaugh, director, Inland Health Professional Coalition speaking at the May 5, Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Summit suggested ways local cities working together could bring more healthcare professionals and hospitals to the region.

to seek out Healthy Communities Initiatives and bring together the Coalitions and Convergence to find ways to meet the regions healthcare needs. City managers from Murrieta, Temecula, Wildomar, Menifee and Lake Elsinore recently met to discuss the healthcare needs of their communities and continue to grow the hospitals and clinics needed in the region. The managers, seeing the need for better healthcare and the opportunity for more economic growth, met with the Reach Out group. From there, the May 5 summit was called. One of the keys to reaching the goal better healthier communities according to Carol Allbaugh, M.A., director of the Inland Health Professionals Coalition, is for the communities to provide more medical teaching institutions for local students. While speaking at the Summit she said the IHPC is dedicated to advancing education and diversity in health professions. The IHPC serves more than 3,500 students and teachers and delivers more than 650 more resources, programs and student learning opportunities in health professions in the Inland region. Allbaugh in addressing the participants, said they needed to come up with some action items in the healthcare area that the region will benefit from in economic development. She said the Coalition is there to help.

Editor’s note: This is the second installment on the results of the Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Development Summit held May 5 in Murrieta. The first installment last week in the Valley News highlighted speaker Mary Walshok who suggested regional cities work together using innovation and global outreach to bring more medical interests into the area and improve the economy. This installment will explore how providing more medical local technical education for students will keep them in the region where more medical facilities are planned. Members of Reach Out, the Inland Health Professionals Coalition, and Convergence, urged southwest Riverside city representatives at the May 5 Southwest Riverside County Regional Healthcare Economic Development Summit in Murrieta to work together to expand their existing healthcare facilities to meet the southwest county’s rapidly growing population. Statistics were given at the summit showing the southwest county has the fewest number of beds and skilled physician pool than any other county area and far lower than the national and state patient to bed and patient to physician ratios.

“The coalition is all about the shortage of health care professionals, the fact that the population is increasing and we’re all getting a little older and the Affordable Care Act and the changes that have happened because of it.” She said “we have to get our heads together for something we don’t even know exists yet and that is what the challenge is here today.” In her presentation she listed what things the summit might look to accomplish in bringing specialty healthcare services to the region. They include, bringing the first open heart surgery to the region, the first STEMI Center, expansion of pediatric services, development of comprehensive cancer services, expansion of the Loma Linda University emergency room and opening a new Prenatal Intensive Care Unit at LLUMC Murrieta to keep area patients close to home. Earlier in the summit Dr. Donald B. Kearns, president and CEO of Rady Children’s Hospital and Health Center, outlined some of the breakthrough services the Murrieta hospital has made in helping children of the community and the hospital groups plans for the future, some of which addressed Allbaugh’s suggested area healthcare needs. Rady, the fifth largest children’s hospital group in the nation, recently announced plans to build a 66,000-square-foot Rady Children’s Health Services complex on Hancock Avenue in Murrieta. It will serve as a children’s outpatient clinic and include pediatric, adolescent and prenatal specialty care. He said Rady has been a leader in the field of Proton Therapy that helps children with brain tumors. He cited a successful case of a local patient named Emily who

received the Proton Therapy. The hospitals treatment has helped the little girl who is now being cared for in her Murrieta home. “We are excited about growing healthcare in this community,” Kearns said. “You are a large part of where Rady is going to grow… I want to predict the future here. This community is going 120 miles per hour and I am excited to be a part of that!” Following Dr. Kearns presentation, the participants were called on the break into groups at each table and discussed ideas about out to help grow the healthcare industry in the region and improve the economy. They were asked to share their ideas on “Health Professions Pipeline Development, Economic Development for Health and Health Cities and Communities.” Before the group ideas were reviewed, Kerry Heindrch, CEO of Loma Linda University Medical Center made a presentation about what Loma Linda University Medical Center is looking ahead to in Murrieta and the region to better provide its services to residents in the area. Loma Linda University Medical Center is the largest healthcare provider for residents of Murrieta. Heindrich said LLUMC has made a very significant commitment to the community and to the region. He noted that the medical group has invested almost half billion dollars into the region to date. He pointed to the changes that the Affordable Health Care plan that Congress approved is creating a major change in the healthcare delivery systems that exist today. LLUMC is a significant provider of the healthcare in the region both in outpatient care

and extended delivery services. The Affordable Health Care Act has pushed 1.5 million residents of Riverside and San Bernardino counties to be enrolled. “Nearly one-third of those are enrolled in this region,” Heindrich said. “This has caused a severe impact because of the lack of acute care beds, outpatient facilities and primary care physicians and specialty services. That creates a real challenge. “People now have insurance coverage but they have no access to medical care. They can’t get primary care appointments and that is why they come to the emergency system,” he explained. He said the result has virtually “overwhelmed” the emergency system. He said Loma Linda and the other hospitals in the area did not expect the demand to be so extreme. The result of changing the medical healthcare system (Affordable Health Care Act) from a “fee for service to at risk,” has been a tremendous challenge for the healthcare service community. He said Loma Linda and other hospitals in the region are working to create networks with a much broader reach to those patients in need. “We need to consolidate, coalesce and redefine the healthcare delivery system,” Heindrich said. He exclaimed Loma Linda University Medical Center to do this is “committed to this community. We believe to be right, healthcare needs to be done in the community with qualified professionals!” Following the discussions Diana Fox, executive director of Reach Out, that presented the event, reviewed the results of the round table discussions made by those attending. The ideas were presented in a slideshow to the participants.

Working Out on a Budget Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

It’s true. Good health really does save money. A Towers Watson survey recently noted that employee wellness programs saved employers an average of $100 in health care costs per worker. So if you’re going to get healthy, do it the smart way and make well-researched spending decisions throughout the year. Here are a few tips at the starting line. Do a little heavy lifting with your budget first. Whatever your goals, check your overall finances to see what bad health behaviors might be costing you now in terms of immediate everyday costs or long-term impact on medical bills. You might find that a successful fitness plan can return hundreds of dollars and possibly thousands to your budget. Pick a workout you like. If you loved swimming or jogging as a kid, such sports might be a good place to restart your fitness regimen. Restart your fitness habits modestly but consistently with activities you like. If they require a facility, test it out for a few days to comparison-shop. If they’re offering specials, read the fine print carefully and try to stay away from long-term membership commitments if you can.

Don’t overlook your community. Check out taxpayer-supported facilities and activities you’re already paying for in your community to see what they offer. Community centers are great resources for inexpensive or free classes. You might be surprised how many free public tennis courts, swimming facilities and other recreational spaces are available in your city or town. Also take advantage of any regional, state or national parks that are near you. There’s no greater motivation to stay active than getting outside. Find buddies. You’ve seen them when walking or driving past a park or other locations around town–people who run together, walk together or dance together. Joining a fitness group doesn’t have to cost any money at all. You might make new friends and you’ll hopefully challenge and keep each other motivated. You don’t need all the latest gear. Unless you need specific clothes or equipment for protection or safety, raid your closet to save on your fitness plan. Keep it cheap and focus on improving your health. Consider setting workout milestones and reward yourself with a new purchase after hitting your goals.

Adjust your commute. If you have access to public transportation, take the bus or train more often, you’ll automatically walk more to and from your destinations. If you do drive, park at the farthest end of the lot to add a short, cost-free workout into your daily schedule. Prepare your own meals. Working out is important to getting healthy, but eating properly can help you achieve results faster. One of the most effective ways to improve a diet–and save money while doing it is resolving to prepare more meals at home. See www. practicalmoneyskills.com/calculators/lunch/. Also, commit to selecting more healthful options whether you are at home or dining out. There are almost limitless resources in libraries and online to learn about quick, healthy food preparation and smart food shopping. Bottom line: Working out on a budget doesn’t always require added expenses. There are many inexpensive or free options to meet both health and financial goals in your neighborhood, at work and many other places.

Osteoporosis Awareness Month Aims to Save Lives Dr. Derek Albrecht DC SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

May is osteoporosis awareness month. For those with osteoporosis, the fear of having a fracture is always present. The porous bone condition affects 54 million Americans according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, and each of them are at risk of breaking a bone if they haven’t already. Studies suggest that about one in two women and one in four men age 50 and older will break a bone because of osteoporosis. Once they do, their chance of dying within a year or two is much higher. Breaking a bone can lead to limited mobility and feelings of depression and isolation. Twenty percent of seniors who break a hip die within one year from problems relating to the broken bone or related surgery. Of those who survive, many need longterm care or have to move into nurs-

ing homes. “Osteoporosis affects everyone, whether they have it themselves or love someone who is at risk. Brittle bones reduce quality of life, but the ‘solutions’ before now haven’t really fixed the problem. OsteoStrong is the first franchise system built on scientifically tested technology proven to improve bone health and increase bone density at all ages, which is going to change—and save—a lot of lives,” says Dr. Derek Albrecht, OsteoStrong Murrieta franchisee. Doctors have traditionally prescribed medications to slow bone loss and encourage bone growth, but the medications work very slowly and can only be safely taken for a few years. When wellness brand OsteoStrong introduced its osteogenic stimulation system in 2011, it sounded like a miracle cure, but as more people tried it out, they realized it was successfully reversing

their osteoporosis. Recent published research supported these claims with postmenopausal subjects showing an average increase in bone density up to 14 percent in just six months (Hunte, B. Jaquish, J 2015). OsteoStrong is leading the way by making osteogenic stimulation available nationwide. OsteoStrong is a unique concept that allows people of all ages and physical conditions to safely and easily experience this system even if they already have osteoporosis. The process may sound unusual, but it’s painless, takes less than 10 minutes a week, and people don’t break a sweat or change out of their regular clothes. OsteoStrong awareness In just minutes, the body’s natural bone and tissue growth process is triggered, and the body continues building healthy tissue for days. The result is better balance and less

porous bones. As people grow stronger, their posture improves as well. Many have cancelled hip and joint replacements and report less back and joint pain. OsteoStrong members are completely reversing osteoporosis without any medications or supplements. “People are intimidated by strenuous exercise regimens, and with good reason. They’re not only difficult, but can cause serious injury, especially if someone already has weak bones. OsteoStrong is easy for anyone to do and stick to, since sessions are just a few minutes every week and they can see clear results from session to session. We are changing the way people age, and we want to keep showing people what OsteoStrong can do for them,” said Dr. Albrecht. OsteoStrong leverages clinically researched osteogenic stimulation methodology to help people of all ages and fitness levels enhance bone

health, balance, overall strength, and posture. Sessions also alleviate back and joint pain. Created based on published research, the OsteoStrong system triggers the growth of new bone and muscle density with 10-minute sessions just once per week. OsteoStrong’s proprietary system engages bone and muscle development and delivers many of the benefits previously thought to be only attainable with strenuous exercise but without risk of injury. More than 30,000 people have seen amazing results since the brand launched in 2012. Many who attend sessions just once per week are reversing osteoporosis, improving balance, eliminating chronic joint and back pain, reversing fibromyalgia, and regaining physical strength.

REAL ESTATE

Do’s and don’ts regarding open houses in today’s market

John Occhi & Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS There is a controversy in real estate as to whose interest is best served with an Open House. Seller’s often believe the purpose of an Open House is to showcase their home, finding a buyer for it. While REALTORS® typically market Open Houses for the primary purpose of finding fresh ‘Buyers Leads.’ The whole idea behind an Open House is rather straightforward. The real estate agent and seller agree on a date. Dates on both Saturday and Sunday are common and even a midweek afternoon can be beneficial to make the home available for the general public to view the home and generate interest for a sale. Types of Open Houses An Open House is typically focused on one of three different audiences. The first, and most beneficial for the homeowner is the ‘Broker Open’, or Caravan. This is when an announcement is made to all of the agents in the local marketplace that the home is for sale and available for the agents to preview the home, in hopes that agents will have a buyer whose criteria is met with this home. A Broker Open does not have to last more than two hours, as agents will come in and out rather quickly as they are on their Caravan or tour of new listings in the marketplace. Literature should be available that is focused on the agent, and not the public. Like all open houses, it should be hosted by the listing agent and the homeowner and their pets should not be anywhere around. A Neighborhood Open House is equally beneficial for both the agent and the homeowner. In this style of Open House, a special invitation is prepared and distributed only to the other homes in the neighborhood. At least 100 invitations should be distributed as either a postcard of a flyer dropped on the neighborhood doorsteps. The idea is not to get your neighbors to move into your home (although stranger things have happened), rather it is to solicit the neighborhood for leads of friends and family who would love to live nearby for any number of reasons. Neighbors feel special when they have the opportunity to get the ‘inside information’ on a new neighborhood listing and can create some urgency when they share the information with their friends and family who may want to move to this neighborhood. Please keep in mind it’s critical for the homeowner to not be present. This is not the time to socialize with your neighbors, telling every one of your future plans. Neighborhood Open Houses also benefit the real estate agent by showcasing his skills and personality to the neighbors and hopes to attract a new neighborhood listing.

Finally, there is the traditional ‘Open House’ that the agent will market online and with lots of signs and balloons. These Open Houses will typically run from noon till about 4 p.m., give or take an hour or two on either side. Most will run on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and some will run both days. Aggressive agents will even schedule a midweek open house hoping to attract the attention of local commuters on their way home who don’t have the time to visit on the weekend. Most visits are spontaneous in nature so signs matter a lot more than any print or Internet advertising. A skilled agent will be able to determine how to best help this new buyer who has raised their hand and identified themselves as someone who wants to buy a home. Long story short, Open Houses are one of the very best buyer lead sources in an agent’s arsenal. How to prepare for an Open House Regardless of what type of Open House you have scheduled, here are a few basic tips to prepare. They may seem common sense and should be taken for granted, but just visit a few Open House in your city and see for yourself how unprepared some home sellers are. Clean up and be up to date: Make sure every room in the house is clean – no bathtub rings or mold growing on the shower tile. Clean your floors and windows. The deeper the clean the better, but at least cover all of the basics. Eliminate clutter – start packing, remember you are moving so the more you do now the easier the move will be. If you are undergoing any renovations, make sure they are complete before the Open House. Your home should scream EASY MAINTENANCE to any potential buyer. De-personalize: This is often the hardest single step for sellers. It’s

time to remove all of your family photos, religious and ethnic artifacts. Anything in your home that identifies what type of person you are can be a negative to some. Sure, some will respect the pictures of a loved one in uniform, but the goal here is to make it easy for the buyer to visualize themselves living there. Clean out your closets: You only have to watch a few episodes of almost any house hunting TV series to hear the advice given to always check out the closets. If you’re selling in the summertime, pack up your winter clothes (vice versa in winter time) so that the closets are not packed tight. The goal is to have 50 percent open space in each closet. Don’t store boxes and totes in the closet – add open space. It’s OK to neatly fill the garage – remember, you’re moving and buyers expect you to leave with all of your possessions. Move your cars: If at all possible, move all of your vehicles around the corner or elsewhere. Make the space appear larger. Nothing less appealing than two cars in the garage with barely enough room to squeeze into one. Landscape: Please, make sure the lawn is freshly mowed and the front planters are weed free. Eliminate weeds growing out of cracks in the concrete. Use some common sense and let the landscape shine and sell the home not give the impression that a potential homeowner will have to rip out your jungle to start with a fresh landscape design. Protect yourself: Unfortunately, Open Houses are invitations for ANYONE to preview your home and there are those who are more interested in your possessions than the structure itself. Today, it is very inexpensive to purchase a CCTV system and record everyone who comes in your home. Place signs

about, to include the bathrooms that they are being recorded. Secure all of your personal paperwork and protect yourself from identity theft and of course all of your valuable should be secured or taken with you. Even if you don’t buy a CCTV system, as a pre-emptive precaution get some signs and place them around the property warning visitors that they are being recorded. With today’s microcameras, no one knows where the camera is or when they are being recorded. A final thought is perhaps you’ll want to avoid the Open House all together and have a professional Vir-

tual Tour filmed that can be placed on the Internet – after all, that is where 95 percent of all homebuyers start their search these days… Call us today at (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need to make the right decision.

TEMECULA – On April 12, students at Discovery Isle Child Development Center in Temecula explored a bug’s life in celebration of Earth Day as they released thousands of ladybugs throughout the schoolyard and back into the environment on plants, flowers and trees. Students dressed for the occasion in the likeness of ladybugs,

wearing red and black colors and antennae. Leading up to Earth Day, students learned that ladybugs serve as a natural pesticide by feeding on insects that could otherwise harm the health of gardens, trees and shrubs. Discovery Isle Child Development Center teaches the importance of community and exploring nature at a young age.

TEMECULA – The Temecula Valley Rose Society, a nonprofit organization, hosted the Annual Rose and Arts Festival Saturday, April 23. The Temecula Valley Assistance League headquarters served as the indoor venue displaying many artistic arrangements. Situated on tables, trays, vases, in bowls, on easels and wall boards, the TVRS provided the linen accessories and the judges for the rose-themed contest. Vibrant, blossoming color and a soothing, floral aroma enhanced the traditional, abstract, freestyle and oriental-themed, rose-dominated arrangements. The specifications defining rose quality and splendor is outlined in divisions, sections and classes of roses, available on the TVRS website, www.temeculavalleyrosesociety.org. In brief, winners of various arrangements, table displays and photography are as follows: Horticultural, “Best of Show”: “Betty Boop”; Marie and Ira Fletcher, La Mesa residents.

MENIFEE – In response to reports of mail theft, the Menifee Police Department is urging residents to be vigilant and to follow these mail safety tips to help reduce mail theft: Do not send cash or coins in the mail, know what time the mail is delivered and promptly remove it from your mailbox. Track package delivery and remove packages from porches immediately or ask a neighbor for assistance if you are not home. Never leave mail in your box overnight, drop outgoing mail in the morning. Other tips include, if you go on vacation, put a hold on your mail at the post office. If you do not receive expected mail, contact the sender. If you move, immediately change your address with the post office, businesses, family and friends, drop important outgoing mail at the post office and if your neighborhood does not have a Neighborhood Watch program, encourage neighbors to assist each other by contacting the police to report suspicious persons in the area. Additionally, a secure mailbox or mail slot (one that locks and is made of metal) and well-lit surroundings will help deter against mail theft. Please note that although safer, the U.S. Postal Service blue mail collection boxes have also been compromised. Please reference the mailbox

I find it difficult to project what is best to do for your gardens lately. My observation is that each year weather conditions and timing are not typical as we have known in the past. Using my own garden as a barometer, I notice that the cycle of blooms vary from two to six weeks in the past four years. This year I was very late getting my roses pruned. It was well into March and there were blooms in only four weeks instead of the usual six to eight. This was all possible due to weather conditions and the warming of soil from warmer than normal temperatures for this time of year. Most roses are at least in the second cycle of bloom. I have some that are near the end of their second cycle, which peaked the week of April 11. I had very few to select from for the Pacific Southwest District Convention/Rose Show April 23. Maybe there will be an extra bloom cycle this year. This month’s column is about what to do in your garden to help bring your roses back into bloom production, no matter what condition they are in. When blooms fade it is best to remove them and

Content marketing addresses both search and social behavior: visibility and brand awareness, engagement, inbound marketing/opportunities. Define your goals for content marketing based on what success in your business should look like in those areas. Success in visibility/brand awareness might be measured in mentions or hashtag usage, newsletter or other opt-ins, or new website visitors. Success in engagements might be measured in numbers of blog comments, survey respondents, or even reductions in numbers (such as tech support calls). Success in inbound marketing would include unsolicited inquires to qualified leads. These metrics over standard time periods will give you measured results for comparison.

Murrieta business honored as top exporters Tom Ferrall STAFF WRITER

If you want to be the best you have to set your sights high. That philosophy has worked very well for Murrieta Business owners Chris and Darcy Kuran of Fallbrook and their company, Waterstone Faucets, which targets the high-end market of kitchen and bath. Waterstone was recently honored by the U.S. Small Business Administration as the 2016 Santa Ana District and Region IX Exporter of the Year. The Santa Ana District includes the Southern California counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. Region IX represents the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii and the territory of Guam in the national small business competition. “We got two awards, which was a cool thing,” said Chris Kuran, who along with his wife, Darcy, attended the 53rd annual Small Business Week Awards on May 3 at the Disneyland Hotel Grand Ballroom. Waterstone was nominated for the award by Bruce Coleman and Kimberly Davidson of the City of Murrieta Economic Development Department. Waterstone’s manufacturing plant has been located in Murrieta for 17 years. “We’re the only U.S.-manufactured kitchen faucet company,” said Kuran. “Everybody else imports. Our little company in Southern California is doing it all. We do raw material in one end, and we do all the processes, from machine, polishing, plating, finishing, and powder coating, and then we do assembly, pack out, inspection and out the door.” Kuran said people are amazed Waterstone is doing everything locally. “We get asked all the time, ‘hey this is fantastic, we love your product, where is it made?’” said Kuran. “And we say, ‘right here in the U.S.’ And they say, ‘yeah, but where are you getting it, where is it actually physically made.’ And we say, ‘Southern California, we do it ourselves.’ We’re kind of a lone wolf out there.” Kuran said he believes Waterstone was honored with the awards for its business numbers as well

as his commitment to promoting export from the U.S. out to other countries. “The commerce department and the Small Business Association (SBA), we all want us to export more out of the U.S., and we’re doing that,” said Kuran. “So, our numbers were good. We’re doing a little more than half-a-million dollars’ worth of export right now and we have plans to expand that.” “I’ve had the great opportunity to become part of California Inland Empire District Export Council (CIEDEC),” continued Kuran, who is committee chairman of CIEDEC. “So the edict for the CIEDEC group is to get out there and help people understand the elements of the government that are there to help them, and how to actually connect with foreign entities and to be able to make that export from the U.S. into a variety of different foreign countries. I’m actively involved in that.” Waterstone has been exporting to Canada for four years and is looking to expand its distribution to other countries. “We’re looking at Great Britain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Arab Emirates and Dubai,” said Kuran, a Naval Academy graduate and U.S. Marine Officer (Ret.) who started a plumbing business with his father upon leaving the military. “We’re also looking at Japan, which is a very difficult market to get into but we’ve got some really interested distribution partners out there that would like to pursue us.” As is the case with his business in the U.S. and Canada, Kuran will zero in on the wealthy in those countries. “We sell to the top five or 10 percent of the U.S. and Canada,” said Kuran. “We really love the highend, decorative market because they are looking for a particular look. We can design to whatever aesthetic look they want with less of a concern about the where the price point is. We’re not a pricepoint company.” With no budget restraints, Kuran can get as creative as he pleases in designing his faucets. “It’s been just a blast,” said Kuran of working at the top end of a market. “I draw all the designs and I’ve got a great partner, Steve

Kliewer. He and I do all the design work together. I kind of draw it and Steve does the mechanical engineering and does all the programming, and now we have a whole team that does that with us.” Kuran said the distinctiveness of Waterstones faucets make them stand out. “We don’t really look at other people’s designs,” said Kuran. “I try really hard to make unique

designs so that when you walk into a kitchen and bath showroom and there’s an ocean of faucets, you’ll see a couple of our designs and immediately be drawn to them.” The rich and famous are Waterstone’s clientele. “We get lots of celebrities but we don’t normally promote that,” said Kuran, who, after being prodded for just a tiny sample, mentioned Taylor Swift, Barbara Streisand and Clint Eastwood as users of his product. “The faucets go into high-end homes so you never know who they are going to, from football players to entertainers to

business people.” Where you won’t find Waterstone is in big box stores. “We sell into a lot of really highend, one and two owner facilities,” said Kuran. “Nine hundred across the U.S., and through our distribution in Canada, another 150 to 175 dealers.” Not bad for a man who started out with “a little plumbing business with my dad’s help” nearly 30 years ago.

TEMECULA -- Temecula Valley Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4089 held their Installation of newly elected officers recently and installed John Z. Hernandez, MSgt. USMC, retired as the new Commander of the Post. Other Post officers installed were Senior Vice Commander Stephen Moseley, Junior Vice Commander David Barragan, Quartermaster Christi Moseley, Surgeon Roger Reed and Trustee Samuel Perkins. Hernandez said, “I’ve been a member of the VFW since I was active duty in 2002 and I have never seen the surge in membership, but then our country has just come out of a 10-year war. It’s created more veterans with a bigger demand for assistance. Now that I’m at the helm I’m ready to take on the challenge to meet and exceed that demand. “A majority of our active Post members now consist of Veterans

with families. Our focus is to get the wives and kids of Veterans involved in our Post functions and engage the Veterans who are sometimes reluctant to get help,” he continued. “Another important part of our successes is that we have reached out and have partnered with other Veteran organizations such as the Veterans Supplemental Support Network, Operation Silver Star, Inland Empire Navy League, Marine Corps League Chapter 1057 and all the JROTC in the Temecula Valley. We have also sponsored a travel baseball team, the “Temecula Renegades” and a basketball team the “Rancho Christian Eagles.” He said, “I will continue to ensure that our Post stays engaged with the leadership of Riverside County, Temecula and Murietta to ensure we take care of our Veterans and right now we›re knocking it out of the park.”

ABC Preschool Toolbox offers in home education MURRIETA – ABC Preschool Box launched nearly a year ago with one clear goal in mind: To bring high quality preschool education directly into homes all across America. ABC Preschool Box in a short amount of time created a robust monthly preschool program filled with fun and educational worksheets and crafts for children to complete every school day directly from home. While the program creators knew interaction with other adults and children is also key for a child’s overall growth and development, they believe that a monthly preschool box subscription service is a great tool for the well-rounded growth of any preschool aged child. Owner and CEO of ABC Preschool Box, Savannah Mehegan, explains “I just wanted a way to prepare my child for kindergarten from the comfort of my own home. I was disappointed with the lack of options I had to do that with and that is how I came up with the idea

for a monthly preschool box that gets delivered right to your door.” Mehegan, who has worked closely with children her entire adult life, and her small team of child education experts have been working hard ever since the launch of ABC Preschool Box to deliver on their goal and so far it has paid off. They have many satisfied customers. “I have been using ABC Preschool Box for eight months now and I continue to be impressed month after month. My kids look forward to the fun monthly themes and crafts that they get to do and I like that they are learning but it still fits into my busy life. Each day is individually packaged so I just pop it open and help them learn. I love it,” says customer Heather Ealy from Murrieta. If you would like more information about this topic, please contact Savannah Mehegan at (844) 208-5164 or email sales@ abcpreschoolbox.com.

Temecula Valley Elks hold Piggy Bank Party to help the disabled TEMECULA – Temecula Valley Elks chairman Linda Jones held a Piggy Bank Party to raise funds to help the California-Hawaii Elks Major Project. The Elks Major Project helps children with physical disabilities by hiring physical therapists to work with the children, who cannot obtain medical help through other avenues. Jones had members, spouses and family members bring in their filled decorated Purple Piggy Banks. The decorated pigs were judged and three winners were named for the Prettiest Pig entry; the Initiative Pig entry and the Greatest Pig entry. Each of the three winners received gift cards to local businesses. The three winners were: Jeannie Jeffords, Prettiest Pig Winner; Peggy Lewis, Initiative Pig Winner and Michael Zenski, Greatest Pig Winner. The special fundraiser brought in was almost $1,800 for the evening.

NMA hiring expansion brings new jobs to Temecula TEMECULA – National Merchants Association, a merchant advocacy group and leader in merchant services, is actively hiring to fill over 85 open positions, effectively doubling its workforce and bringing new jobs to Riverside County and doubling its Temecula-based workforce. National Merchants Association is actively hiring to double its local workforce to nearly 200 employees by the end of 2016 and is projected to expand its team to over 300 employees by the end of 2017. It is one of the fastest growing financial services companies in the U.S. and is well on its way to becoming one of the top employers in Temecula. “We are committed to having Temecula as our home base and to growing our company here,” said Heather Petersen, CEO of National Merchants Association, who founded the company in 2004. The company moved from Los Angeles to Temecula in 2012 with just five employees and now has more than 100 employees. Eighty-five job openings, from entry level to executive positions The company’s 85 job openings range from entry level to executive positions in management, customer service, sales, underwriting, risk management and loss prevention, security, marketing, legal, information technology, and human resources. “We seek to hire from our own community as we recognize there are highly qualified professionals living here in Temecula who are commuting to neighboring counties and would prefer working within the community, given the opportunity. We invite them to join our growing company,” Petersen said. Under Petersen’s leadership, the expansion plan has been the foundation of the strategic blueprint for the company’s achievement and exceptional growth. The company has grown in size by over 400 percent and in revenue by over 800 percent since moving its headquarters to Temecula in 2012, making it one of the fastest growing companies in Temecula and in the credit card processing industry. To accommodate its exceptional growth, National Merchants Association is currently renovating its Temecula headquarters to double its square footage in a new collaborative and open workspace design inspired by several Silicon Valley companies such as Google, Twitter and Facebook. The newly designed

headquarters, which includes a “think tank,” a mother’s room and three state-of-the-art conference rooms, will open in July. Employees rewarded by their innovation and contributions to growth Dedicated to the success of its employees, National Merchants Association’s benefit package features a unique employee innovation encouragement program that rewards employees who submit viable new product ideas. “We want to encourage our employees to think about innovation to continue fueling our substantial growth into the future,” Petersen said. “We challenge our employees to support us as the leader in paving the way to the future of payment processing. This includes National Merchants Association integrating fintech products, technology to make financial services more efficient.” The company also provides extensive education through employeemanaged committees focused on Innovation, Education, Professional Development, Community Relations and Employee Engagement. Its benefits also include full medical, dental, vision and life insurance, profit sharing and 401(k). A recognized leader in credit card processing and advocacy on Capitol Hill Since founding the company in 2004, Petersen’s efforts have led National Merchants Association to become a recognized leader in credit card processing for all risk levels. Her personal commitment to the payments industry includes advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill to protect consumers and merchants, mitigate credit card fraud, and eliminate the unnecessary and unreasonable fees that some processors charge to accept credit cards. Well-known in the payments industry, Petersen serves as the chairwoman for the Electronic Transactions Association’s Professional Development Committee. Along with other industry professionals, she helped create the ETA’s Guidelines on Merchant and ISO Underwriting and Risk Monitoring, released in March 2014 and recently updated in early 2016. For more information about the available positions, visit www.workatnma.com or call (866) 509-7199.

Temecula author receives National Children’s Book Award TEMECULA – This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Independent Publisher Book Awards, also known as the IPPYs. It also marked a special occasion for Temecula children’s book author Shari Tharp to debut her children’s book, “Gertrude and Toby’s Friday Adventure,” that won an IPPY silver medal in the category Best Children’s Illustrated E-Book. “In the days leading up to the awards announcement, I convinced myself that I was not going to win an IPPY,” replied author Tharp when asked about winning the award. “I know it’s the typical way many writers view their own work, but I also figured it would be easier to deal with the letdown if I didn’t get my hopes up in the first place. My publisher said my book was definitely good enough to win an IPPY, and this certainly valiCourtesy photo

dates that for about the next two books in the series.” Those “next two books” are Gertrude and Toby Save the Gingerbread Man and Gertrude and Toby Meet the Wolf, the second and third books in the fairy-tale adventure series, both scheduled for release during late 2016. The series follows protagonists Gertrude the goat and Toby the tortoise on Fridays as they sneak off the farm to embark on action-packed adventures, where they meet some of our favorite fairy tale characters. Tharp has also nearly completed another children’s book that deals with grandparent–grandchild relationships and the fine underappreciated art of telling tall tales. The IPPY Awards were launched in 1996 and are conducted each year to honor the year’s best independently published books, offering an alternative to “the big five” conglomerated media publishers. Its collection of small presses, university presses and self-publishing services give experimental and entrepreneurial authors a platform and the adventurous readers an abundance of new choices.
