Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist Multiple police cars, fire trucks and ambulances, responded with lights flashing and sirens blaring to Shivela Middle School in Murrieta on Monday, May 18 for a mock active shooter drill on campus. The drill was held after school hours and was meant to sound and feel like a real incident to help

prepare first responders to save lives in the event of a true shooting incident, according to spokesman Matt Corelli with the Murrieta Fire Department. “Today we executed what we call an ASMCI, which is an active shooter multi-casualty incident,” he said. “We were trying to simulate where an active shooter has entered an educational facility and many casualties have occurred.”

First responders learn from historic events to find ways to help prepare for future events to save lives, Corelli said. “We’re looking back at incidents likes Columbine or Sandy Hook Elementary… we have learned a lot about our response after all of those passed events,” he said. “What we have learned is that a lot of people are dying from traumatic injuries because we are waiting to secure

the scene before we get folks in there to treat the injured.” An undercover Murrieta police officer played the role of the shooter that enters school grounds through the front office armed with a revolver loaded with simunition, a simulated ammunition, according to Corelli. “The shooter enters the school

Seaman, who had served since 2009, according to reports, is survived by his wife Samantha, son Roman, 2, and daughter Riley, 1. Samantha Seaman said her husband was a great father and a great Marine in a televised interview that aired on CNN Sunday. “He loved his country and he really wanted to go to Nepal to help those people. Last week I

got an email telling me that he felt purpose,” she said. “He was a hero. He loved us very much and we are gonna do whatever we can until we meet him again, to make him proud.” A GoFundMe account has been set up to assist Seaman’s family with expenses.

Temecula seeks new look for aging Jefferson Avenue corridor Tim O’Leary Staff Writer A $250,000 plan aimed at reviving an aging business district could bring the first residents – as well as six- and eight-story buildings – to a 560-acre area that hugs Interstate 15 in Temecula. That area, which is split by Jefferson Avenue north of Rancho California Road, has drawn the attention of city officials for more than a decade. Its future has come into sharper focus over the past four years as the Uptown Jefferson Specific Plan has emerged from consultant studies and many planning and community meetings. The plan has dominated the last two council meetings, and it is slated to wind its way through a trio

of advisory boards before it returns to the council for final approval in July or August. “This is a work in progress,” Mayor Jeff Comerchero said as the council’s May 12 discussion wound down. That review, which did not result in any formal action, detailed the scope of a plan that could transform a sleepy commercial area that has seen little change over the past two decades. “This is a huge undertaking,” Councilwoman Maryann Edwards interjected. Due to development patterns and other factors, no housing was ever approved in the corridor area that is bounded by Interstate 15 on the east, Murrieta Creek on the west, Murrieta’s boundary to the north and Rancho California Road to the

south. As a result, motel guests are the only people who stay overnight there. But a dramatic shift may occur there, as future apartments and condominiums could attract 10,000 or more new residents, as well as scores of additional offices and restaurants, to that area over the next 20 years. A new patchwork of roads would open the area for future development and encourage pedestrian and bicyclist traffic. “It’s critical to the plan,” Luke Watson, a city senior planner, said during his recent presentation to the council. The area isn’t pedestrianfriendly now because of the lack of parks and open space and the long distances between traffic lights, he said.

The Jefferson Avenue area was developed in the 1980s after Old Town became congested and businesses and buildings began to spread north along Murrieta Creek. The Jefferson Avenue area soon became the community’s emerging commercial core, as stores, restaurants, car repair shops, motels and other businesses clustered there. At that time, Temecula was an unincorporated community and Riverside County agencies approved shopping centers and subdivisions that would eventually blanket much of the area. Winchester Square was home to a movie theater, a large drug store, a Radio Shack outlet and a Stater Bros. market that was deemed one

Memorial Day, observations honor those who gave all for America’s freedoms

John Hunneman Columnist I am sometimes asked to explain the difference between Memorial Day, set for Monday, May 25, and Veterans Day held on Nov. 11 each year. Perhaps the easiest way to remember is that while we celebrate Veterans Day, we observe Memorial Day. Memorial Day is first and foremost a day to honor those who have died while serving in the military and defending our freedom. It is meant to be a solemn day of reflection. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War. In America’s history about 1.26 million veterans have died in war. Almost half of those heroes – 620,000 of them – perished on Civil War battlefields. Some of those battlefield names – Bull Run, Gettysburg and Chancellorsville – ring familiar even

today. Others like Pea Ridge (6,000 casualties), Shepherdstown (620 casualties) and Malvern Hill (7,700 casualties) – have faded with time. Many who died on those battlefields were buried nearby in shallow graves. After the war most were returned to their hometowns or interred in the national cemeteries which were established by Congress in 1867. In 1868 General John A. Logan established what was then called Decoration Day, a day to decorate the graves of fallen Union and Confederate soldiers with flowers. Though observed in every state, it wasn’t until 1971 that Memorial Day was declared a national holiday to honor all those who have fallen in our wars. While strictly speaking Memorial Day honors those who died in battle, in many families, including mine, it is also a day to remember all those who served in the military and have passed away. Veterans Day, on the other hand, celebrates our living veterans. It is a day for parades and appreciation for those who have worn, and still wear, the uniform. It is also a day to pledge to work to ensure our living veterans get the benefits and assistance they deserve. On Monday I will be the guest speaker at the Laurel Cemetery in Murrieta at the annual Memorial Day observance, which begins at 10 a.m. It is always an honor to be part of this event and I hope to see some of you there.

Laurel Cemetery is the final resting place of 198 veterans, said Gary Allen, district manager of the Murrieta Valley Cemetery District. “We’ve had about 10 veterans buried here so far this year,” Allen said. “That’s a lot for us. Most of them are the Korean War guys now. There are not too many of the World War II guys left.” Murrieta’s Memorial Day observance has its roots in Veterans Day. In 2000 Joe Grammatico, who helped establish American Legion Post 852 in 1998, noticed Murrieta’s cemetery did not have a flag pole. On Veterans Day that year Post 852 installed a flag pole and held a dedication ceremony at the cemetery. That same day Grammatico, a U.S. Navy veteran, proposed a Memorial Day observance be held each year at the Murrieta cemetery. That first year, in May of 2001, the names of the 44 veterans then interred in Murrieta were read aloud. Some of those names were those of Civil War veterans who had come west after the war. Grammatico died in 2004, but the tradition he started continues. On Monday the names of the nearly 200 veterans now buried in Murrieta will be read. On Memorial Day many will pause to honor veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice. I hope you are able to attend an observance near you and, if so, bring the kids.

Supervisors approve construction contracts, cooperative agreements with local cities Joe Naiman Writer The Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved a construction contract for the resurfacing of Grand Avenue along with a pair of cooperative agreements with the cities of Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. Three 5-0 votes April 28 approved the contract and cooperative agreements. One vote awarded the contract to Griffith Company for $4,523,019. One action approved an agreement for Lake Elsinore to contribute $130,000 for the work within the city limits while also outlining the city and county responsibilities for the construction phase of the project. The other vote that day approved the agreement which includes a $63,000 contribution from the city of Wildomar for work within city boundaries. The county will be

MARINE from page A-1 close to home hits hard,” Rick Collier said. “I’m saddened for Eric’s family, comrades and close friends he left an impact on. Eric has a powerful smile and I hope that’s exactly how each of you remember him. He will never be forgotten and will forever remain a local Hero. My title as a Marine will forever come with open arms and a lending hand to Eric’s family and friends. Stay strong, Semper Fi.” Officials announced on Friday, May 15, that eight bodies had been recovered from the site where the Marine Corps UH-1Y Huey helicopter crashed in a Himalayan hillside on Tuesday, May 12. USMC Lt. Gen. John Wissler, Commanding General of III Marine Expeditionary Force, Joint Task Force 505 and Marine Forces Japan addressed the media in a live webcast on Friday, May 15, the same day the missing aircraft was identified. He said that it was unlikely that any of the eight onboard survived the crash. “Because of the nature of the wreckage, it is unlikely that there are any survivors,” Wissler said. “Our prayers are with the families and the Nepalese soldiers and their families. We all mourn this tragic loss of life.”

responsible for administering the contract as well as for the work in the unincorporated area. The project will resurface approximately 4.7 miles of Grand Avenue in the Lakeland Village area between Corydon Road and Bonnie Lea Drive. In addition to the resurfacing of the existing pavement, the work will provide minor road widening and will reconstruct or construct concrete curbs, gutters, cross gutters, spandrels, sidewalks, and access ramps meeting Americans with Disabilities Act standards. The improvements will also include new striping and pavement markings and new larger street name signs, and other work may also be performed if required. On Jan. 6 the Board of Supervisors authorized the advertisement for bid of a construction contract. The six bids received by the Feb. 4 deadline ranged from $4,523,019 to

$5,328,503. Although the Griffith Company low bid was $212,049 above the engineer’s estimate, that five percent variance is within the target bid range. Two segments of the road are within the Lake Elsinore city limits: 660 linear feet between Scales Way and Ontario Way and 920 linear feet from south of Windward Way to north of Shoreline Drive. The segment of 815 linear feet within thecity of Wildomar traverses Corydon Street to Richard Lane. The Wildomar City Council approved the cooperative agreement March 12 and the Lake Elsinore City Council approved the agreement March 17. The work is scheduled to begin this summer and will be phased to keep roads open to traffic during construction. Completion of the improvements is expected approximately three months after the work commences.

The wreckage was located at approximately 11,000 feet in extremely dense forest and exceptionally rugged terrain, Wissler said, adding that the discovery was made by Nepalese partners flying patrols in the area. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The missing Huey, along with the crew were part of Joint Task Force 505 - as part of Operation Sahayogi Haat - deployed to Nepal following a request from the Napalese government after a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the country on April 25. The trembler reportedly killed more than 8,000 people. According to reports, the helicopter and squadron were diverted from a Joint Task Force exercise in the Philippines to assist with search and rescue. The helicopter and crew were participating in disaster relief missions following a 7.3 aftershock that occurred on Monday, May 11 when the incident occurred. “They were determined to go forward with their duties eager to contribute to our mission and to alleviate suffering and to come to the rescue of those in need,” Wissler said. Aircraft from the United States, including two other UH-1y Hueys and two V-22 Ospreys, as well as

Nepalese military and police had searched for the missing helicopter before it was found. Others who perished in the crash were Capt. Dustin R. Lukasiewicz, a UH-1Y pilot, Capt. Christopher L. Norgren, a UH-1Y pilot, Sgt. Ward M. Johnson, IV, a UH-1Y helicopter crew chief, all stationed with HMLA-469, Cpl. Sara A. Medina, a combat photographer and Lance Cpl. Jacob A. Hug, a combat videographer. Both Medina and Hug were stationed with Marine Corps Installations Pacific, Okinawa, Japan. Two Nepalese soldiers were also onboard but have yet to be identified by officials. “They were courageous,” Wissler said. “They were selfless individuals dedicated to the international humanitarian aid mission here in Nepal.” Wissler asked for continued prayers during the “difficult time.” “We also ask the public to please respect the families and allow them time as the investigation continues and the next of kin are respectively notified,” he said. “The sacrifice that these Marines and Nepalese soldiers have made for their respective countries will not be forgotten. Their memories will live on through the lives they touched during this disaster operation and in their previous service to their countries.”

Opposition claims controversial Senate Bill 277 infringes on fundamental rights, causes discrimination Kim Harris Managing Editor Senate Bill 277 cleared its first major hurdle last week when it passed the California State Senate in a 25 – 10 vote. The measure, if it becomes law, would require all students to be up to date on all vaccinations before entering kindergarten and while medical exemptions are allowed, those based on personal and religious beliefs are not, leaving many in the community angered and upset over the state’s attempt to determine what medical care is best for their children. One opponent, Vanessa Silversmith, who used to work for the Riverside Community College District, has organized several protests against the bill, including one held at Senator Jeff Stone’s Murrieta office on Friday, May 15. Silversmith said the move is infringing on personal rights guaranteed under the Constitution. She leads a group of “hundreds” of families throughout the Inland Empire who oppose the bill. “The issues with SB 277 and SB 792 are the violation of religious, educational, medical, parental, civil, and constitutional rights and discrimination,” she said. “The issue here is not whether or not to vaccinate. It is whether or not the government should supersede our constitutional, parental, religious, and civil rights to force medical interventions on its citizens.” Stone, who is one of the bill’s authors, said that the bill does not infringe upon constitutional rights and that the argument has already been vetted through the U.S. Supreme Court. “During the polio epidemic when the polio vaccine came to fruition, it became a requirement that every child was going to be taking this vaccine to prevent polio,” Stone said. “There were lawsuits filed by people who said ‘we believe this might be hocus pocus, we are not letting our child swallow a sugar cube with deactivated polio virus on it.’ People were scared. It was new technology. It went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme

Protestors gathered outside of Senator Jeff Stone’s Murrieta office on Wednesday, May 13 to protest Senate Bill 277, a controversial bill that would require all students in California Schools to be vaccinated regardless of religious or personal beliefs. Kim Harris photo

Court opined that it was within the police powers of government in the best interest of the health and safety of those residents we were sworn to protect, to mandate those immunizations to protect all children from these virulent deadly diseases. This has already been constitutionally vetted.” Silversmith disagreed with Stone’s assessment of the bill. Calling the bill “discriminatory, unconstitutional and unnecessary,” she said that no matter how Stone presents the bill, it still infringes upon the rights of everyone who is affected, including parents and children. “It violates our fundamental right to deny medical treatment which are the 5th and 14th Amendments,” she said. “It would also deny our fundamental right to raise our children as we see fit which is also guaranteed by the 5th and 14th Amendments and it also violates our religious freedoms and religion is a protected clause according to the bill of rights act of 1964 and the California Constitution Declaration of Rights.” Stone, who said he supported the bill since he is a pharmacist and has studied the drugs and immunizations, said that many of those in opposition don’t recognize that the bill still gives the right to not im-

munize children. “This bill does not force immunizations, it allows people to bow out,” Stone said. “All this bill says is if you are not going to immunize your healthy child then you are not going to send your child to a public school where you have children who don’t have the opportunity to be immunized and putting them in harm’s way of acquiring a fatal disease, if your child who you didn’t immunize happens to come in contact with measles and it spreads like wildfire, that is the nature of the bill. “There really is no constitutional issue,” Stone said. “We are not telling people you have to immunize your child, even though that has already been vetted by the Supreme Court.. That is not germane to this discussion.” Silversmith said that if the bill is signed into law, children who are not immunized will be segregated from other school age children by not being allowed in public, private or charter school. “It would deny our fundamental right to an education,” Silversmith said. “It would create discrimination. Brown versus the Board of Education ruled that separate is not equal. It is unequal to say that one group of people can have a public school

education or a private school education and this group of people cannot, especially because we have that religious exemption as a provision.” Silversmith went on to say that Governor Brown actually directed that a religious exemption be added into AB 29 back in 2012 prior to signing that bill into law. “What they did is on the personal belief exemption form states I am a member of a religious group that denies all medical treatment,” she said. “That statement does not describe any religious group that I am aware of. So what they did was create a supposed religious exemption that applies to no one so it does not exist.” Stone said he fully expects the State Assembly to add a religious exemption to SB 277 in order to pass the measure. “Let me just say, I am in favor of a religious exemption,” he said. “That is certainly something that will get entertained in the Assembly because they are going to be much more critical and a much more comprehensive review will occur over there. I believe that a religious amendment will be recommended. The success of the bill may hinge on that one issue.” Silversmith said the SB 277 uses coercion and is totally unfounded since according to the California

Department of Public Health the vaccination rate in the state is at an all time high. “Even if we have 100 percent vaccination rate we would still see outbreaks since, as we all know, vaccinations are not 100 percent effective,” Silversmith said. “This information is well documented and it is documented by the sources that are credible. With the DTaP outbreak in 2014, 90 percent of pediatric patients were vaccinated against the disease. Obviously, the vaccines are not 100 percent effective.” According to Silversmith, state representatives are failing to acknowledge the facts made available by the CDPH and the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention. “People just believe the lies that are stated over and over again in these hearings and through mainstream media,” she said. Silversmith said those against the bill should speak out by contacting their state representatives or joining a group who opposes the measure such as www.yourfamilyyourchoice.org. “Bottom line, this is a rights issue,” Silversmith said. “They have already taken away many of our rights and they continue to do so. If we are standing up for rights, then we need to be consistent across the board. People need to speak out on the issue and get involved.” Stone said that under the bill, parents still have the constitutional right to not immunize their children. “We are not forcing anyone to get immunizations through any language in this bill,” he said. “It just says if you don’t immunize your children then you can’t enroll them in public school and expose children who can’t get the immunizations in harm’s way. These diseases are fatal in two out of every thousand people. Two children will die for every thousand people that get this infection. That is an alarming statistic.” If the bill passes the Assembly and is signed into law, California would become one of only three states not allowing for personal or religious exemptions to vaccine laws. Mississippi and West Virginia both have similar laws.

to the parents on the condition and the whereabouts of students.” Quick action by the school’s on campus resource officer helped to quickly bring down the simulated gunman saving lives. “The shooter was neutralized quickly, but multiple injuries occurred in a very short amount of time,” Corelli said. During the first few seconds of the drill, the woman playing the part of the school office attendant was injured by the simunition from the gun. “One of the players in the drill was actually injured in the drill,” Corelli said. “She sustained a minor injury from the simunition, which is simulated ammunition from the drill. She is expected to be ok.” According to Corelli, the woman was shot in the face and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital. “That is one of those things that you try to predict and eliminate any injury in something like this, but drills and training can yield injuries unfortunately,” he said. “Any facial injuries like that are very critical.” Although one woman was injured, the overall training was a success and local first responders are better prepared for a real event. “If this event does happen, the students from these schools and the citizens will be better protected,” Corelli said. “They will get to facilities where they will be treated and lives saved.”

DRILL from page A-1 through the main office and he first has an incident with the front office lady,” he said. “She is shot and injured and then he moves through the main part of the school.” As the gunman walked from the front office to the library, multiple guns shots were heard as screams from students echoed through the campus’ hallways. “That resulted in multiple casualties, at least 10 or 12 that I saw were deceased or severely injured,” he said. “As that is happening, the school resource officer was right behind that active shooter and he was able to neutralize that shooter.” First responders entered the scene with rifle carrying police officers escorting the rescuers. “The police defines hot, warm and cold zones and the hot zone is considered where the active shooter is and if the shooter is still active, that area cannot be entered,” he said. “Once the shooter has been neutralized, emergency personnel can go in and treat those people

and bring them to a patient casualty collection point.” During the four-hour drill, multiple local agencies responded to the mock shooting scene as they would in a real incident. “What we have done is integrated with our police department here in Murrieta to create a quick response extraction to get (victims) off to the (hospital) right away,” he said. “That is what this drill was intended to do, was to determine our timeframe on how we do with that and to see how we work with our partners.” Along with Murrieta’s local police and fire departments, American Medical Response, Mercy Air Ambulance, Mission Ambulance, Simon Ambulance, CAL FIRE/ Riverside County Fire Department and school officials all responded to the scene. “We are going to have to call our local cooperatives because we can’t handle it on our own,” Corelli said. “We also work with the school district… they have a notification process on how they get word out

Local CORRIDOR from page A-1 of the chain’s top performers. The grocery store and other retailers relied on an influx of customers from the industrial and office buildings that dotted the area. Temecula became a city in December 1989. It had about 27,000 residents at that time. The city’s population mushroomed as sprawling subdivisions were built. Old Town, which was deteriorating, became the target of city attention and funds. The historic business district soon attracted public and private investments that spurred a dramatic economic revival there. City officials have repeatedly praised Old Town’s turnaround, saying public spending on buildings and other amenities helped spur more than $1.6 billion in private investment over the past 25 years. The Old Town Specific Plan, which was years in the making, encouraged growth by offering such incentives as increased building densities, reduced parking restrictions and redevelopment funding for affordable housing and infrastructure improvements. Promoting residential development in Old Town created a customer base for restaurants, shops and other businesses to thrive

Senator Jeff Stone invites seniors to turn the tables on fraud Kim Harris Managing Editor State Senator Jeff Stone in conjunction with the California Contractors State License Board and the City of Murrieta will be hosting a free Senior Scam Stopper seminar on Friday, May 22. The number of scams targeting senior citizens is on the rise and there are more of them every day,” Stone said. According to a press release issued by Stone on the event, one in five seniors–the most targeted group–has been a victim of fraud and new scams are developed every day. During the seminar, a panel of experts will provide information to seniors on how to protect themselves

from becoming victims of fraud. Those in attendance will be able to get answers to their questions and obtain assistance if they have been scammed. “Providing the kind of information the experts will be offering at this event is the best way to protect our seniors from the unscrupulous scammers who try to take advantage of them,” Stone said. “Seniors citizens have given so much to our communities and our country. We owe it to them to provide this valuable information.” The event will be held at the Murrieta Public Library located at 8 Town Square in Murrieta from 1:30–3:30 p.m. Prior to the seminar, from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., a free lunch will be pro-

vided courtesy of Subway. For more information or to RSVP, contact Stone’s office at (951) 8943530. Stone was elected to represent California’s 28th Senate District in November 2014.The district, which is entirely in Riverside County, stretches from the vineyards of the Temecula Valley to the Colorado River and includes the cities of Blythe, Canyon Lake, Cathedral City, Coachella, Desert Hot Springs, Indian Wells, Indio, Lake Elsinore, La Quinta, Murrieta, Temecula, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage and Wildomar.

there, officials said. Official concerns over the future of the Jefferson corridor were raised as the outlook for Old Town began to rebound. Karel Lindemans, who served two stints on the City Council, was the first Temecula leader to focus attention on the lagging area. Lindemans was elected to the first council when Temecula became a city. He returned to the council in November 1994, and served another five years before he moved to the Palm Springs area and later died there. The late 1990s saw the vacancy rate at Winchester Square, the largest shopping center in the Jefferson corridor, climb as tenants moved or closed. The Stater Bros. market abandoned the center when the company’s owners chased a flood of new housing into the fast-growing French Valley area. That left the center with a smattering of smaller tenants that included a tavern, barber shop, doughnut shop, pool and spa supply store, dry cleaning store, smoke shop, tire store and restaurants. About that time, Temecula officials recognized that the era of new subdivisions sprouting across the city had largely ended, as only one large tract west of Old Town remained undeveloped. The city’s population has soared beyond 105,000 people, and more than 80 percent of its land has been developed. That has prompted the city to shift its focus to the Jefferson corridor. Temecula council members voted in March 2011 to pay a consultant $84,123 to craft a specific plan for the Jefferson corridor. The council agreed to pay another consultant $189,220 to prepare environmental documents for the plan. Efforts to revive the corridor, which is about three times the size of Old Town, will likely include zoning changes aimed at allowing developers to construct apartments or condominiums, which would encourage new residents to walk to stores, coffee shops and other businesses. “It’s generally considered to be lagging behind the rest of the

community,” Watson said during his presentation. The corridor now contains about 3.8 million square feet of retail, commercial and motel development. That could increase to 5.5 million square feet over the 20-year life of the plan. The number of apartments and condominiums – many of them constructed over stores, offices and other commercial uses – might exceed 3,700 when the plan comes to fruition. The area is also envisioned as a transportation corridor, as the city is planning a transit center near Temecula’s boundary near Murrieta. The transit center could be near or adjacent to a sports park that has been envisioned as part of flood control measures planned for Murrieta Creek. “The new streets are critical to the implementation of this vision,” Watson said. The transit center and sports park could be shared with Murrieta and be built near Cherry Street, officials said. The council’s initial discussion of issues related to the corridor came on April 28, when the panel spent more than an hour discussing whether to impose a development moratorium over the area while the plan comes under final review. Concerns surfaced because two development plans, including a proposal to erect a car wash at Del Rio Road and Jefferson Avenue, are pending. Comerchero noted that the council gave a “reluctant” approval to the 45-day moratorium, which may be extended if needed. The tentative schedule for reviews of the plan calls for a June 8 meeting of the Community Services Commission, a June 17 session with the Planning Commission and a July 28 public hearing by the City Council. As the hour-long council discussion wound down on May 12, Comerchero said that the remaining questions and concerns over the plan will be fielded and resolved at the upcoming meetings. “It’s a 20-year plan. It could take longer than that,” he said. “This will become the jewel of our city and indeed uptown Temecula. It’s something to look forward to.”

Water prices rise with continued drought conditions Shelli DeRobertis Writer The Rancho California Water District Board of Directors voted on May 14 to jump to Tier 4 and decrease water budgets for residential customers by 30 percent and decrease agricultural clients’ use by 10 percent as part of its Stage 4 Water Shortage Contingency Plan. The Board adopted all of Stage 4 measures except the moratorium on new water service connections, after about 20 people spoke against the drastic measure during the public meeting. Mike Freeman, a Temecula resident representing a local homebuilder, said he was willing to work with the Board and wants to be part of helping the Board reach a different solution. “Don’t do this to me. It’s terrifying to hear the word moratorium. It’s bad for business,” he said. Other speakers included residents, realtors, more homebuilders, councilmen and Temecula’s assistant city manager, all of whom opposed the Stage 4 contingency plan that in part reads “no new water meters allowed, except for health and safety, unless water demand is offset to a net zero increase.” Many speakers voiced concerns that the moratorium would stifle growth in Temecula and parts of Murrieta. Murrieta Councilman Jonathan Ingram said that people are starting to back out of projects already on the table, including developers in the queue to build in Murrieta. “I don’t see how this is productive to any of us. We spent 10 years struggling and now we finally have some opportunity and it’s going to be taken away from us,” he said. Temecula Councilman Matt Rahn said the issue is a significant concern for his city and that identifying solu-

tions as a community should be the priority. “The decision-making and education are a key component in my mind,” he said. “The economic impacts at this point for programs related to shutting off the opportunity for water meters – I think is unacceptable.” In April, Governor Edmund G. Brown proclaimed a continued State of Emergency exists in California due to current drought conditions, and the State Water Board imposed a 25 percent reduction of water usage to water suppliers through Feb. 29, 2016. RCWD’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan shows how the district will respond to the state’s regulations, which require RCWD to reduce its water supply by 36 percent compared to its 2013 usage. The moratorium on new water meters is one of several measures in the district’s plan to reduce water usage, but Board Vice President Roger Ziemer said he was not clear on what constitutes “net zero” of the Stage 4 Contingency Plan language and that he and the community need a better understanding of that. Ultimately, the Board voted to postpone the measure of Stage 4a, “no new water meters allowed” until they bring it to the table at the end of next February. All Board members voted in favor of Vice President William Plummer’s proposal to postpone the vote, except for Board President John Hoagland, who voted against it. But the other water reduction requirements adopted in the Stage 4a resolution for all of RCWD’s customers include no filling swimming pools, no establishing or expanding landscape areas, no washing personal vehicles at home, no using water for decorative fountains, even if it has a recirculating system, and the restructuring of water budgets that are used to calculate customer’s fees.

Currently, residential users have four tiers and agricultural users have two. With the new changes, effective June 1, the 30 percent reduction on the residential tier levels mean that customers will reach the next tier level sooner than they had previously reached it. Likewise, agricultural users will reach Tier 2 sooner with the imposed 10-percent budget reduction. Tier 4 is labeled “wasteful,” and the rate jumps to $5.85 when water usage reaches Tier 4. Tier 1 rates are considered “indoor use,” and are $.63, Tier 2 costs $1.38 and is specified for outdoor use. Tier 3 will be eliminated, according to Meggan Valencia, public information officer for RCWD. The water district has a Residential Bill Estimator on its website, and customers can plug in figures from their current bill to see what the increase may look like. Valley News used the bill estimator, and a current monthly charge of $67 nearly doubled to $121, which included a Drought Surcharge of $3.40 for level 1 and $54.40 for reaching level 2. Valencia said each household is allowed up to 60 gallons of water per person, per day. The default is a four-family household, so if a family has more than four members they can contact RCWD to update the number of people residing in the home. She said customers’ budgets can change from month-to-month, because the budget is based upon realtime weather. “Look at your budget. Look at your bill. See how much you’re currently using to make sure you don’t go into the next tier,” she said. To use the Residential Bill Estimator or view RCWD’s Water Shortage Contingency Plan, go to www. ranchowater.com.

Take a trip down memory lane with Wildomar’s Drive-in Movie Night Daniel Lane Multimedia Journalist Remember the days of piling into a car with all of your friends and heading to the drive-in movie theater for some Saturday night fun? Well, now is the chance to relieve those glory days at Wildomar’s Drive in Movie Night at Welch Park. A free showing of “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” is set for Saturday, May 30 at 7 p.m. The movie is rated PG and will be shown in the Little League Field parking lot. While the city does put on many events throughout the year, Wildomar’s Mayor Pro Tem Bridgette Moore said this is one of the more

uncommon events they host. “Our most unique thing is the drive-in movies,” she said. “You’ll actually get to drive in your car and turn your radio on and you’ll be able to hear the movie just like the drive-ins.” Children are able to sit up front during the showing if they choose to do so, according to Moore. “These are great community events that the city is putting on,” she said. “The reason we are able to put this on is because of the Measure Z money that the residents themselves passed. This is just giving right back to the community for these great family events for them to come out and enjoy.” According to Moore, this event is open to anyone who wants to attend and not just for Wildomar

residents. Moore said the city chooses movies that are family friendly, but what kids watch is ultimately at a parent’s discretion. Other family events on the city’s calendar include Movie in the Park scheduled for June 13 at Windsong Park, Camp Out in the Park at Marna O’Brien Park on June 27, a city birthday celebration on July 11 and two more Movies in the Park at Marna O’Brien Park on Saturday, Aug. 15 and Saturday, Aug. 29. “All the events are free and we usually have a nonprofit run the snack bar,” Moore said. “That helps the nonprofit and then we are not using city staff.” For more information, visit the city of Wildomar website at www. cityofwildomar.org.

I’ll be making krumkake.” Van Nyhuis said in addition to the krumkake the group will be selling Scandinavian cookies, lefse, Norwegian meatballs and beverages. “There are quite a few Scandinavians in the area, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and a lot of them don’t know we exist,” Van Nyhuis said. “We want them to know we are here.” The event isn’t just for those of Scandinavian descent though; the festival is open to the public and anyone who is interested in learning about Scandinavian culture. Van Nyhuis said that she hopes people who attend the festival walk away with a better understanding of the countries that make up Scandinavia and their various customs

including what countries make up the region, the foods, costumes and traditions of the region. “You don’t have to be Scandinavian to enjoy this festival and take something away from it,” Van Nyhuis said. “If you were to come to our festival, you will get an understanding of what Scandinavian culture is. We want them to take away an appreciation of the culture.” Vinland Lodge meets the first Saturday of every month at the Assistance League of Temecula Valley from noon until around 3 p.m. The group begins each meeting with a potluck luncheon and social followed by a business meeting. Vinland Lodge is open to anyone who is interested in Scandinavian culture. “It’s not an exclusive club for Norwegians,” she said, adding that some members are descendents while others are just those interested in learning more about Scandinavia. “Anyone and everyone is welcome. Vinland Lodge is open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the culture.”

Glow with the crowd during Indica Roots draws fans Ashley Ludwig evening balloon glow Staff Writer

TEMECULA—It’s a marvelous night for a balloon dance and that is what spectators will see Friday and Saturday evening at the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival on May 29-31. Held at dusk, the evening balloon glow features up to a dozen “grounded” hot air balloons in one arena. Tethering to the ground, the balloon pilots inflate the balloon canopies, and then simultaneously ignite the burners for a luminescent glow. Some say the balloons appear to dance as the flames flicker and then burn for seconds at a time as a musical beat keeps time for the choreography. The light event begins with show choirs in a flash carol in front of the wine stage. Friday will feature Resonate a local community youth choir that has performed throughout Southern California including Universal Studios, USS Midway, Disneyland, Mission Inn Festival of Lights and Temecula’s newest signature event, the New Year’s Eve Grape Drop Countdown Bash. The Temecula based Resonate performs popular, patriotic, oldies, Gospel, and top 40 styles of music. They will be singing a special

rendition of Van Morrison’s “Moon Dance.” Saturday night Vista Murrieta’s Synchronized Vocal Jazz Ensemble will perform a song that is synonymous to the evening event. “Glow” is a song written by Nick Baumhardt, Josh Crosby, Brittany Nicole Waddell and originally performed by Britt Nicole. The choir has created an a capella chart for the song which has a decidedly pop/rock sound. Lyrics like “Illuminating lights under my skin. Radiation so intoxicating burning within. Feel the heat slowly rising. The beat that’s hypnotizing,” seem to be defining the evening balloon glow. Synchronized was the first choir to introduce the flash choir element. Last year they serenaded the “Wicked” hot air balloon by singing “Defying Gravity” from the Broadway musical. Their performance and the social media buzz of the balloon generated an IFEA Award for the 2014 festival. Evening balloon glows are included in admission to the festival. The glows are weather permitting. High winds or inclement weather are not balloon friendly. For more information, visit www. tvbwf.com or call (951) 676-6713.

Southwest Riverside is dancing to a new reggae beat, thanks to local band, Indica Roots. With front man Alex Rico on rhythm guitar and vocals, Bryan McManus on lead guitar and vocals, Dallas Poythress on bass, Thomas Ebert playing keyboard and synthesizer, and Jason Osbourne on drums, Indica Roots has fallen into their groove. What began as three buddies who would jam favorite reggae songs together for fun has grown into much more for Alex Rico. “Indica Roots was originally a three piece, with only myself as the vocals and guitar, a bass player, and a drummer,” Rico said. For Rico, everything happens for a reason, and though there have been changes, the current band is in sync. “Indica Roots is now a permanent band, and we have a common love and understanding for our own sound, as well as an unstoppable motivation to make music our life,” Rico said. With plans of touring, sharing their sound and good vibes with everyone, Indica Roots is more than just a garage band, according to Rico. They’ve set their sights on the next level in reggae music. “We started as a three-piece band,” he said. He would write music and lyrics on his own, and then show them to the band. Now, we write songs together during practice. It’s grown into a true collaborative effort.” Their music, a true, rhythmic SoCal reggae vibe for a band now used to playing across Southwest Riverside County and Temecula. With an eye for their audience, the band

tailors their performances based upon location, according to Rico. “The 21-and-over shows at Uptown Tavern, Marquee 15, and Killarney’s may differ than the patio acoustic jams at Temecula Valley Cheese Company, where the mood is more mellow and soothing for afternoons in Old Town Temecula,” Rico said. Indica Roots draws inspiration from bands such as Slightly Stoopid, the Expendables, Fortunate Youth, Ballyhoo, The Green, Pepper, Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, and Barrington Levy. Their sound is self-described as reggae with ska and rock influences. When it comes to their original recordings, Rico states they write what they feel. “Whenever we’re feeling good about a jam we go off of it,” he said. Indica Roots, now making a living playing across Southwest Riverside County, recently recorded their first full length EP with Finch

drummer Alex James Pappas of AJP Recording studios. Some of their favored songs include “Natural Disaster,” “Catch my Wave,” and “Wasting Time.” “After a lot of hard work and jamming we had a solid finished product our EP Seedless Melodies,” Rico said. Of their fans, Rico calls “The Roots Crew” a loyal and supportive group. “Our music is for every one of all types and ages,” Rico said, “but we have a very strong band case and following out of California.” Come to Killarney’s Irish Pub on Friday, May 22, from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. The event is for those 21-andover and also features Devocean and Low Budget. Follow India Roots on Facebook at www.facebook.com/indicaroots or on YouTube. Their EP Seedless Melodies can be purchased on www.CDBaby. com.

Southwest Riverside friends form Pure Silk Salon in Old Town Temecula

Relax in the facial room suites at Pure Silk Spa and be pampered.

their salon from the ground up. The former storage room needed vast updating to turn it from trashed unit to treasured space. “We started from nothing, and totally rebuilt it,” Lee said. Deciding on tile, paint, accents, furniture, to door knobs, and light fixtures, a business can be like a marriage, according to Jodie. “We signed the lease. We’re practically married!” Lee laughed. Friendship and family are part of what Pure Silk is all about. Lee’s fiancé, Jeff, assisted with their build outs, laying the custom tile floor, while their kids helped with weekend painting projects. Now, with white walls and silver sparkle accents, Pure Silk is a chic paradise, according to Lee. In the lounge, clients can relax on a comfy couch, try a tray of heartdrop cookies, or nibble from bowls of bite sized chocolates, all personal touches of two women who know what they like.

The second story location—an historic building off Main Street, just behind Public House restaurant—overlooks the western mountains. The interior lighting is elegant, as are the fixtures and flare that make Pure Silk an ideal place for facial or lash extensions. “When we met, we were both attending Paul Mitchell School in Temecula,” Blawn said. “Both of us were divorcing, had children about the same age. It was like we were meant to be friends.” Lee agreed, as is the habit for the business partners. Their spa, a New York style boutique, is the culmination of an original vision that began when they met. “Our business isn’t about

Tonino’s Italian restaurant in Murrieta serves from the heart

Fragole Con Panna – a delicious blend of fresh strawberries, cream, and delicate syrup.

The Gnocchi “Di Mamma” – just like Marie Tonino’s mama made – won the table as favorite dish.

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer

and Winery Pinot Noir, 2013, light enough to enjoy with a multitude of flavors from Tonino’s varied menu. Between courses, Tony and his many friends chatted, came by to discuss menu selections, and why they enjoy this restaurant so much. “I met Marie while shopping, and saw her with sugar cane. That’s a sign of someone from another country,” Joseph Attalla, a friend of the family, stated. “From the moment I met them, I knew Tony and Marie were special.” The Saads have lived in Murrieta for just under two years, and in that time have opened two restaurants and now employ over 12 people at Tonino. Groups and special events can be easily served, with advanced arrangement, as with the Bear Creek Ladies Club. “We’ll create a special menu for large groups,” Tony said, ensuring that all would enjoy the same inviting and comfortable feel of the regular restaurant experience. Next, the salad. We were served the Mista Verde Salad, fresh baby greens served with house white vinaigrette, tossed with feta cheese, tomatoes, dates, and candied walnuts. A hearty portion, large enough to share, and the dates made the salad with a sweet balance to the acidic dressing. For our main courses, the Crab Ravioli, served in a delicate cream sauce, and the Gnocchi “Di Mamma.” The crab ravioli offers a wellportioned plate of well-stuffed crab, along with a light and flavorful cream sauce, herbaceous, with lingering flavors of roasted red peppers. The Gnocchi “Di Mamma” commanded attention. This was a perfect representation of everything Gnocchi should be but rarely is. A potato pasta that is a one bite delicacy, where gnocchi so often misses the mark. Here, at Tonino, the gnocchi is served in that fresh tomato marinara, along with fresh roasted cherry tomatoes and basil. The brightness of the tomatoes, along with the light potato pasta made this a treat for the senses.

f you enjoy fine dining, in a casual friendly atmosphere, then Tonino Restaurant and Wine Bar is the place for you. With owner Tony Saad, hailing from Egypt, and his wife Marie, from Southern Italy, their tastes mesh into a fusion of delightful Mediterranean surprises in Tonino’s diverse menu. The restaurant is tucked away in Murrieta, easy access from the 15, and worth the slight drive from Temecula. It offers a large open patio for outdoor wine tasting on Sundays, and cozy interior for family style lunch or dinner. The décor is classy, music inviting and soft enough for lingering conversation. Most of all, the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen will have you pouring over the menu. When you come, make sure you meet Tony and Marie. Married for 15 years, with three sons, they are busy doing what they love – caring for others with food and friendship and enjoying their new home of Murrieta. Chances are, Tony will open the door for you. “A good relationship comes from the heart,” Tony said. “I do my best to make sure my warmth for friends and family comes out with my food.” His accent is rich, and his welcome is genuine, but Tonino is all about the food. To start, we were served the Burrata Mozzarella, which is a Tonino must order. This fresh mozzarella shell, stuffed with a creamy ricotta cheese, is seasoned lightly with oregano

and spices. The presentation is pinwheeled with succulent tomatoes over a basil bed. The rich, mellow cheese is perfectly balanced with light balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, delicious on its own, or with the bread. It’s a perfect way to start the meal, and light enough to enjoy with another appetizer. With so many appetizers to choose from, our table selected the Falafel, for a Mediterranean flare. The lightly fried patties are a garden of herbaceous flavors, paired with homemade hummus and pita wedges for a crisp and tasty offering. “We make everything from scratch,” Tony said, of the varying sauces, herbed butters that accompany the bakery fresh bread at the table. “The hummus, the marinara from tomatoes, never from cans. You’ll never see a big delivery truck here.” All of the recipes at Tonino are inspired by Marie, and authentic to her family’s home of Bari, in Southern Italy. Chef Todd Reeves and Nikole Lyster outdid themselves with the service and delivery to the table, all under Tony and Marie’s attention. The wine list is extensive, regional Italian wines, to local SoCal labels. Beer lovers will find familiar craft brewers, as well. We tasted a Sonoma County Martin Ray Vineyards

The Falafel appetizer is a perfect Mediterranean start to any meal.

Priced reasonably, the gnocchi was a winner for our table. Our Secondo Entrée, the Chicken Marsala enticed much conversation. Tender, seared chicken scaloppini, served with the house’s fresh mushroom and Marsala made this dish linger in memory. The Marsala and accompanying sautéed mushrooms were buttery and delicate. Presentation, again, beautiful, with roasted veggies, once again, priced reasonably for dinner. At last, dessert, and no less than three restaurant goers suggested we try the Tiramisu. “This is the traditional way Tiramisu is prepared in Rome,” Tony told our table. The dessert arrived with a rich layer of custard, topped with cocoa, set atop espresso soaked ladyfinger cakes. “The middle is the best part,” he winked. And he was right. Rich, creamy, the cocoa balancing

the coffee flavors, and once again, a must-order dessert at Tonino. Finally, another signature item at Tonino, the Fragole Con Panna. This Italian styled strawberries and whipped cream in alight, sweet syrup is the perfect end to a lengthy meal. Fresh, sweet, and succulent, it will send you off right. When asked about the opportunities available for business owners in America, Tony gestured, wide. “I thank God for the opportunity to raise my children in America, and to make a business here,” Tony said. “We love Murrieta.” Tonino is located at 24530 Village Walk Place, Murrieta.

Financial abuse grows in California, especially with elderly

Attorney Richard Nervig Shane Gibson photo

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer When it comes it comes to financial security, advice that sounds too good to be true probably is, according to area investment loss attorney Richard Nervig. “More than 200,000 Californians are victims of financial abuse every year,” Nervig said in an interview, elaborating that financial exploitation of the elderly is all too common. After 22 years in practice, with admissions in three states, Nervig has proven himself expert in the area of financial dispute resolution. Nervig subscribes to the idea that as the herd gets bigger, so does the number of predators, and with baby boomers retiring, there is a “perfect storm situation” of elder financial fraud brewing for the unaware. “With a huge number of elderly people and interest rates at historical lows, risks are there for falling prey to financial predators,” he said. According to Nervig, peddlers of fraudulent investments cater to the elderly’s need for safety and higher yields. For many retirees, simply parking investment dollars into safe, interest bearing certificates of

deposit isn’t enough. “You can’t just park your money in a CD that is safe and hope to generate enough income to supplement social security to live,” he said. A financial advisor might recommend a legitimate course of action to generate revenue, but many can be too risky or unsuitable for the retired investor. “Worst case scenario, financial advisors may guide investors into a scam or ponzi scheme situation,” Nervig said, and that is where his expert legal advice comes into play. Recent schemes Nervig has observed in his practice involve private placements, or fraud involving tenants in common real estate investments. “Most recently, I’ve dealt with an arrest of fraud with regard to a broker trustee for a 79-year-old woman’s account where the trustee was giving her money to a friend,” Nervig said. In this case, the elderly woman suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, and Nervig worked with the daughter to hire new trustees for her mother’s estate. “Most people don’t read through the reams of paperwork that come with brokerage statements,” Nervig stated, “and that is where things can fall through the cracks.” Nervig’s legal practice includes reviewing those agreements to help navigate the ground of arbitration available for clients who inadvertently purchase risky investments. “If you were savvy enough to review your prospectus, you may notice where the investment states there is a high degree of risk,” Nervig explained. “Unfortunately, for many retirees, they come from a generation where you can close a deal on a handshake, and a person’s word was their bond.” There are financial professionals and investment providers that are

not honest, and Nervig has made it his career to assist those who have fallen prey to fraudulent financial practices. Nervig suggests paying close attention when dealing with independent brokers, rather than the larger known mutual funds or brokerage firms, “When you open a brokerage account with a firm or through an advisor, nine times out of ten, your new agreement will have an arbitration clause. You won’t sue your broker or advisor in open court, your case will go through arbitration.” According to Nervig, the majority of litigation in cases of elder fraud end up being settled and it can take from months to years to have cases sorted out. “I prefer wearing the white hat, and securities fraud has become my passion,” Nervig said. He offers free consultation advice to his clients for just that reason. “One of the best ways to protect your elderly parent or grandparent is to be involved in their financial lives. Have a professional review their brokerage statements,” Nervig advised. Retirees who have sustained investment losses do have recourse, according to Nervig. Investors should ask themselves if they fully understand what they’ve purchased? Are those investments too risky? Were all the risks disclosed to me prior to purchase? Did my broker obtain my permission before each transaction? And does there seem to be a lot of activity in my accounts? “If yes, and losses have been sustained, consult a legal professional to sue to recover investment losses,” Nervig said.

Local agencies and businesses participate in ministry’s mission to help at-risk youth

WILDOMAR—An Angel Tree Easter Celebration was held at the Animal Friends of the Valleys shelter on April 8 and was sponsored by the Wildomar based nonprofit Community Outreach Ministry, which helps at-risk children who may have a parent involved in the criminal justice system. The event offered children an opportunity to socialize among peers, celebrate Easter in a group setting and receive gifts through the generous support of community members. Mentors who participated in the event included AFV’s Marissa Charrier, employees from

Wells Fargo Bank of Lake Elsinore, Temecula Valley People Helping People’s Denny Mighell and ministry volunteers Marcella Martinez, Kathleen McCall, Summer Fears and Christopher Ramirez. The Mt. View Church Youth Group of Wildomar also participated in the festivities and was sang songs from “The Easter Story.” One of the goals of the ministry is to provide referrals to caregivers who are caring for relative children on an informal basis to see if their households qualify for services through the county, state, or local agencies for food, clothing, health

Immature to Mature

care, affordable housing, counseling, tutoring and mentoring. Caregivers, children, and families struggle financially as no weekly pay checks come in for the children. Bob and Mona Davies are the co-founders of the ministry which is dedicated to helping to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, crime and incarceration in at-risk and needy children by empowering them to unlock their potential through education, teaching them right from wrong, and preventing the children from hanging around with the wrong crowd. Investing in the needs of these children at an early age is more likely to reduce school dropout, early parenthood, substance abuse and diversion from involvement with juvenile justice. The upside of early intervention is increased capacity to improve academic performance, graduation from high school, guidance in postsecondary education and a skilled trade. This is enabling youth to transition into adult hood to be self-sustaining citizens earning an honest income. The ministry welcomes sponsors and financial contributions to send children to summer camp on scholarships for a life changing experience. The ministry can be contacted by calling (951) 6987650 or emailing info@communityoutreachministry.org. To donate online, visit communityoutreachministry.org.

County to help homeless families find affordable housing with new funding from state

Courtesy photo

RIVERSIDE, CA—Akita Brown was a single mother with three children. She had lost her job, lost her home, and was staying with friends and in hotels because she couldn’t find a home she could afford. But with help from a countywide housing support program that started in December, Brown finally got the help she needed to get her life back on track. Her family was among 60 that the support team helped to find permanent and stable housing. Now, the goal for the CalWORKs Housing Support Program is to place 180 families in permanent housing by June 30. Brown said having stable housing is what helped her find work for the first time in more than a year. “Without the housing support I would not be able to hold down a job,” she said. Initially, the program helped pay for her family to stay at a hotel in Norco while they found a permanent home. And when they moved into their own place in February, the program helped pay a portion of Brown’s rent for the first three months. “It meant a lot because I knew my children were going to have a bed to sleep in for weeks at a time,” she said about the program. Now that she has a job, having a permanent place to call home will help her remain employed. Riverside County is among 20 counties in the state to receive funding to assist homeless families with immediate housing needs and help them rebuild their lives while they participate in the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids program–known as CalWORKs, a federal program designed to help low-income families with financial assistance, employment training, child care and other support. The county’s Department of Public Social Services received $1 million of the $20 million available

through new funding in the 201415 state budget for CalWORKs, California’s version of the federal Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program. In Riverside County, nearly 32,000 families receive assistance through the CalWORKs program each year. Of these, about 3,500 were identified as being homeless. The CalWORKs program provides monthly cash assistance for living expenses for families with children who live at or below poverty. A family of four receiving CalWORKs benefits cannot earn more than $20,964 annually ($1,747 per month). Most adults receiving CalWORKs also participate in the county’s Welfare to Work Program that provides work experience and employment training, education opportunities, child care, transportation and other support to help them find a job and move off of CalWORKs assistance. Finding affordable housing is a significant barrier for many CalWORKs families. It is difficult for families to focus on finding jobs when they don’t have a roof over their heads and must struggle to provide basic necessities for their children. While the CalWORKs program offers various supports to assist families, such as employment training and child care, housing support has been minimal. “We know from research and our first-hand experience working with children and families that safe, stable housing is essential to helping families get back on their feet,” said Susan von Zabern, the DPSS director. “This program is critical in assisting families out of poverty.” According to the latest figures from the Public Policy Institute of California (http://www. ppic.org/main/publication_show. asp?i=721), child poverty in Riverside County is 22.1 percent, which is significantly higher than the state’s 16.9 percent rate. DPSS is partnering with the County of Riverside Housing Authority to identify families receiving CalWORKs that are homeless and offering assistance in finding a permanent place to live. CalWORKs Housing Support Placement funding can provide what each family needs for housing, including monthly rental assistance, security deposits, help completing necessary paperwork and searching for a place to live. The Housing Authority also works with local landlords and property owners who are willing to rent to

Pastor Zachary Elliott Special to the Valley News What did you have for dinner last night? If I were to guess I would say that you probably didn’t eat baby food for dinner. You probably didn’t chase your jar of Gerber Apple & Chicken Dinner down with a glass of Enfamil Gentlease formula. There are two reasons I can come to this conclusion. The first reason is because baby food is actually disgusting. No normal person would actually eat it unless it was a life or death situation. Even then they might not. The second reason is because you’re just too old to be eating baby food. You’re probably old enough now to be eating things like steak and potatoes, corn on the cob and chocolate soufflé. There comes a time in everyone’s life where we move from baby food to real people food. It should be the same with our spiritual lives. We all should come to the point when we move from being spiritually immature to being spiritually mature. The Bible tells us what spiritual immaturity looks like in Hebrew 5:12-14 when it says, “You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid

food. For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong.” This is not God’s plan for you. He actually has a better plan for your life than you do. He wants you to become mature in your understanding of him and how he works in your life. The best way to move from being spiritually immature to being spiritually mature is to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18) Growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus is a must for every Christian if they want to be mature. The question is how do we do that? For starters we have to be learners and the greatest way to learn more about Jesus is through his word. Make it a priority to read your Bible every day. Secondly, start attending a Bible teaching church. Make church attendance a priority because that’s where you will connect with like-minded believers and be taught more about God’s word. The first Christians knew the importance of meeting together as a church. And they would search out the scriptures to make sure they were being taught the truth. Imagine how grateful they would have been if they had access to the Bible like we do. It’s time to start reading your Bible and going to church. If you begin to learn more about Jesus and discover his great love for you, you begin to grow spiritually. It’s in this growing process that you will discover greater peace and purpose in your life. Elliott is the lead pastor at Fusion Christian Church located in Temecula. He can be contacted at (951) 676-8511. For more information, visit www.myfusionchurch. com.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens More suggestions on how to be a thrifty gardener – Part 2

Linda McDonald-Cash Special to the Valley News Hello neighbors and fellow gardeners! Continuing on with the topic started last week, I wanted to acknowledge that “deluge” of rain we had, and point out that too is a money saver for us gardeners. Just remember to turn your timers off for at least a few days after the rain. We got about an inch and a half of rain last week, so for most of our plants that should do them for nearly a week, lawns probably a few days only; another reason I’m not too fond of grass! That was exactly what our trees needed, deep and long watering, and the best part, it was free. Well, last week I talked about dividing plants, how to create more

The Mom cave, super stylish and oh, so civilized Ashley Furniture Homestore Special to the Valley News If anyone deserves a special place to call her very own, it’s Mom. Since Dad has claimed the bonus room, the garage, the basement and the shed, it’s time to make room for the lady of the house. Call it a Mom Cave if you will—filled with her things and her style, designed to be her sanctuary. No matter what Mom is into—be it crafts, collectibles, keeping current on Facebook or watching old flicks—every well-stocked Mom Cave has to have great seating, hideaway and display space and plenty of personal flair. Kick off your Jimmy Choos You work hard, Mom. Kick off your shoes and have a seat. The seating you choose will set the tone, so do it up right. Treat yourself to the most indulgent chair you can find to suit your space. A curvaceous chaise is wonderfully decadent. If you like a more casual aesthetic, an ample arm chair accompanied by an upholstered ottoman or a couple of poufs—for resting your heels and magazines or books—is comfortably cool.

This is your space. Being indulgent extends to the palette of your Mom Cave. Don’t worry too much about blending with the rest of the house. If you want a bright red chair, go for it. Wouldn’t dare to have a white fuzzy rug anywhere else in your house? Fear not. This is your territory. Strut your stuff All those precious keepsakes that have a special meaning to you—this is where you find the perfect spot for them. In nooks. On shelves. They represent who you are and where you’ve been. Surround yourself with all things you. Additional items that beautify a Mom Cave: Throws and Accent Pillows: Deliciously soft to the touch, of course. A Small Pedestal Table: Classic and feminine and just the place for a flower-filled vase. A S m a l l Wr i t i n g D e s k o r Table: Great for everything from writing cards and wrapping gifts to scrapbooking and internet surfing. Photo Frames: Transfer those electronic images into actual

Thompson Middle School honored as Gold Ribbon School MURRIETA—Thompson Middle School is one of 193 California Gold Ribbon Middle Schools for 2015. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson recently notified Thompson Middle School Principal Dale Velk that the school is being honored under the state’s new Gold Ribbon Schools Awards Program. Velk said, “We are honored to have been selected as a Gold Ribbon recipient this year. It’s wonderful that the staff has been recognized for their hard work and commitment to our students. Both our classified and certificated staff share equally in the success of our school and I feel privileged to work alongside them every day.” “These schools are academically successful, vibrant, and innovative centers of learning and teaching,” Torlakson said. “They provide great examples of the things educators are doing right—embracing rigorous academic standards, pro-

viding excellence and creativity in teaching, and creating a positive school climate.” The California Gold Ribbon Schools Award was created to honor schools in place of the California Distinguished Schools Program, which is on hiatus while California creates new assessment and accountability systems. District Superintendent Pat Kelley said, “This award is a direct reflection of the Thompson school community’s dedication, hard work, and commitment to academic excellence.” Schools applied for the award based on a model program their school has adopted that includes standards-based activities, projects, strategies, and practices that can be replicated by other local educational agencies. The new award is recognizing middle and high schools this year and elementary schools in 2016. The Gold Ribbon awards recog-

Kim Harris Managing Editor Valley News’ own Alex Groves graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a bachelor’s degree in journalism in a ceremony held on campus at Titan Stadium on Saturday, May 16. Groves said he began writing for the Valley News as an intern back in 2010 as a senior in high school. “I started writing for Valley News when Tim O’Leary was the editor of the paper and so I interned for about a year,” he said. After beginning school, Groves left the Valley News and began working at a movie theater before returning to the paper in 2013 as a freelance writer and has continued working for the paper since. Groves said that his time spent

with the Valley News was helpful as he worked his way to his degree and that working at a newspaper gave him a jump on his college classes since he had foundational knowledge and experience. “I think I learned a lot,” he said. “Tim O’Leary was a good guy he gave me a lot of good information, he would edit my stories and show me the edits he made so I could learn. It’s made me a better writer and helped me through my classes for sure.” Groves will stay on with Valley News and said the things he is most looking forward to is having time to spend with family and friends. “Having time off and getting back to writing are my big things,” he said. “Having free time to do the things that I love it’s going to be good.”

Altura Credit Union Partners with Cal State San Bernardino to bring 40,000 new books to local students for free RIVERSIDE—Altura Credit Union and the Watson and Associates Literacy Center at Cal State San Bernardino are working together with the nonprofit First Book to bring 40,000 new books to children across Riverside County. Altura and the Literacy Center are seeking Riverside County teachers and educators from all grade levels who are interested in obtaining free books for their students. To qualify for the 40,000 books from First Book, the project needs 2,000 teachers to register. Every educator who registers will receive a new grade-appropriate fiction book for each child in their class. To sign up, visit: http://register.firstbook. org/?rgst=CSUSBPF . “We are excited about bringing new books to so many students in the Inland Empire,” said Ricki McManuis, director of Development at the College of Education at Cal State San Bernardino, which has arranged smaller book donations in the past. “This is a wonderful opportunity to give books to the

students that need them most. If you can read, it opens the door to so many possibilities. But without access to books, a child won’t have that chance,” she added. “Learning to read is critical to a child’s success in school and, later, as an adult,” said Altura President and CEO Mark Hawkins. “Access of books is one way to help children develop the literacy skills they need. That’s why Altura is excited to be participating in this program. We encourage teachers to sign up so they can secure a free book for each child in their class.” The need for books is great. Studies have shown that in middle income neighborhoods, the ratio is one book per 13 children, while in low-income neighborhoods that ratio is one book for every 300 children. Further, the main barrier to purchasing a book is cost. In addition, some 14 percent of U.S. adults lack basic literacy skills, like reading a newspaper or instructions on a bottle of pills, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In California, that number is 23 percent.

First Book is striving to change those stats by providing lowincome children with new books. First Book points out that there is a direct link between access to books and reading skills. Since its founding in 1992, First Book has distributed more than 125 million free and low-cost books. SolarMax Technology in Riverside is donating warehouse space to accept the delivery of the 40,000 books and act as a distribution site for local teachers to pick up their books.

Temecula Valley Hospital awarded advanced primary stroke center certification TEMECULA—Temecula Valley Hospital announced that it has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval and the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Advanced Primary Stroke Center Certification. The Gold Seal of Approval and the Heart-Check mark represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations. TVH underwent a rigorous onsite review on May 5. Joint Commission experts evaluated adherence to stroke-related standards and requirements, including program management, the delivery of clinical care and performance improvement. “Temecula Valley Hospital has thoroughly demonstrated the greatest level of commitment to the care of stroke patients through its Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers,” said Michele Sacco, M.S., interim executive director of Certification Programs. “We commend Temecula Valley Hospital for becoming a leader in stroke care, potentially providing a higher standard of service for stroke patients in its community.”

“We congratulate Temecula Valley Hospital for achieving this designation,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. “By adhering to this very specific set of treatment guidelines Temecula Valley Hospital has clearly made it a priority to deliver high quality care to all patients affected by stroke.” “Temecula Valley Hospital is pleased to receive Advanced Certification from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association,” said Darlene Wetton, chief executive officer of TVH. “The certification provides us with the opportunity to highlight the exceptional stroke care we provide. Being the first and only, Advanced Primary Stroke Center with this designation in the region sets us apart as a leader in stroke care.” Established in 2003, Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers is awarded for a twoyear period to Joint Commissionaccredited acute care hospitals. The certification was derived from the Brain Attack Coalition’s “Recommendations for the Establish-

Kim Harris Managing Editor Dr. Rome Walter of Summit Family Medicine is offering community members the opportunity to take part in a study that uses genetics to evaluate how the human body responds to pain medication. The study is being compiled by Proove Biosciences, a commercial and research leader in personalized medicine, and will predict responders to opioid pain medications to identify patients at risk for opioid misuse and pain perception. “I love the challenge of helping my patients overcome their health problems without drugs, but if it’s in their best interest to use medicines, I want them to be on the right ones the first time,” Walter, who is a doctor of osteopathy, said. The test is simple for those who choose to volunteer their time. It only takes about 20 minutes to fill out the necessary paperwork and then mouth swabs are taken and sent off to a lab. The results of the Proove Opioid Response test joins an entire menu of tests that provide proof to improve healthcare decisions involving pain management rather than taking a try and see approach. “Proove Opioid Response gives physicians information about which

opioids a patient is likely to respond to versus not likely to respond to - without exposing the patient to a medication and without the cost of the prescription,” a press release from the company states. “Proove Opioid Response assesses 49 genetic variations to give physicians information about the safety and effectiveness of five specific opioids, hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine, tramadol, and hydromorphone.” Walter said that patients are excited to be involved in the study. “Many patients are enthusiastic about being involved in the research because there are no blood tests, no experimental drugs, and no personal cost,” he said. “They are curious to know how fast their body metabolizes their prescription medicines and over the counter drug as well.” According to Proove Biosciences, the test will help to improve clinical outcomes because patients are only prescribed medications that are likely to work, and it improves economic outcomes by avoiding expensive treatment failures and adverse drug events. “When patients are given an opioid for pain relief, there is a continuum of responses to the medication,” Dr. Svetlana Kantorovich, director of Scientific and Clinical Affairs at Proove, said.

“These tests provide information for enhancing efficacy and decreasing toxicity of a patient’s opioid therapy by analyzing the genetics underlying the target of drug action, modulation, and metabolism. All of these factors are important in determining the effect that a drug is likely to have on a patient. For the first time, these variables have been researched and curated into one test report to improve patient outcomes, decrease the use of suboptimal medications, and shorten the duration of therapy.” Walter agrees, saying that taking the guesswork out of what medication to prescribe to each patient based on their individual response to the drugs included in the test is beneficial to the patient in many ways. He said that as advances in medicine continue, patient care will continue to improve. “We all know that in the future, there will be a lot less guesswork in choosing the best medicines for patients. It’s exciting to be involved with some of the pharmaco-genetics research that will lay the ground work for personalized medicine.” The study is open to anyone who is interested in taking part, not just patients at Summit Family Medicine. Interested parties are asked to call Summit Family Medicine at (951) 667-7667.

THRIFTY from page C-1 plants for free from those you already have or from friends and neighbors, starting plants from seeds – a thrifty way to grow plants although patience is required and knowledge of growing from seed. I told you about getting free mulch, fertilizer and making compost with some of those freebies. Now I’d like to discuss some of the other elements that make up a garden and various ways of procuring them inexpensively. Recently I paid a trip to a wonderful nursery down in San Diego County. They had some large pots that I’d been coveting for a long time, but unfortunately I couldn’t afford to spent nearly $100 for one pot. They happened to have some slightly damaged ones. I purchased one with a barely visible hairline crack and got it for 80 percent off the regular price! So, always good to look and ask if they have any slightly damaged goods that you can either get for free or at a greatly reduced price. My motto in life is “Ya don’t ask, ya don’t get!” Most nurseries will also have an area set aside for slightly abused/damaged plants that are greatly reduced in price and just need a little TLC; possibly cutting off damaged areas, re-potting, fertilizing, watering, and a little sun, and you’ve got yourself another bargain! You may notice a neighbor bringing in, and paying for, mulch or

compost. They usually just dump it on the driveway. Go over and ask if he is going to use it all, or if you can have the leftovers. He may just give it to you, or you can go in with a neighbor to purchase, and thereby save money for both of you. They typically bring large quantities, like “yards”, and few can use it all. You’ll be splitting the delivery fee, if you do so. Let’s look at some hardscaping on the cheap. Many times contractors are hired to install new paver patios, etc. for clients and they have to “bust out” old concrete – they typically have to pay to take this to the dump and it’s pretty expensive for them, but you can get this delivered to your house for free by them. It makes a very striking patio or pathway, but you need to know exactly how to construct with it. It’s like laying pavers only usually much thicker and it’s a good idea to cement together. I’ve created low walls for planter beds with these types of concrete chunks as well, you may have to break them up smaller, but it’s worth the effort, and it’s free material. Looking for an inexpensive but nice bird bath? No, definitely not those cheap plastic ones! I took a split log, or you can use a whole one depending on size, mine’s about 2 feet high. Bury it a couple inches or so into the soil (might want to seal the bottom with Thompsons first), then find a nice size and color pot/ planter enameled dish to place on

A beautiful way to recycle free concrete and keep it out of a landfill.

top for the water. Mine’s a beautiful blue, and I’ve had it for at least ten years. It’s easy to clean out, will never degrade (like plastic) and I use acetic acid to clean out the accumulated lime/calcium that we have in our hard water here. Joining a local garden club is always a great way to acquire more plants inexpensively. Typically members divide and share their plants with others at their meetings, while also sharing experiences and it’s so nice to have friends that you really have something in common with also. The annual plant sales that clubs have are another great source of inexpensive plants. I also tend to haunt the botanic gardens, such as the one at UC Riverside for their twice annual sales where they sell plants and seeds from many unusual, drought tolerant, and native plants that you may not find anywhere else. Both estate and garage sales can be sources of inexpensive “objects d’art” for your garden, as well as gardening tools. So if you enjoy these events, keep your eyes peeled for that treasure that might just be exactly what you need. I’ve seen ads on Craigslist where people are selling and sometimes even giving away many gardening items, chipper shredders, blocks and bricks, concrete, fill soil, even trees! Usually you have to haul, but that’s part of the deal. You may see construction jobs going on where they’re removing large rocks, maybe even boulders, so ask if you can have some. I’m sure they’d be happy for you to haul some away. It will cost them less money and time and you get some nice free rocks and boulder for your yard! I bet if you really start thinking you can come up with many ideas of your own how you can save money in your own yards. I think one of the key words is “recycling.” Recycling everything, don’t throw things away, use them or pass them along to someone who can, from chicken manure, grass clippings, to seeds, fill dirt and rocks. One man’s “trash” is another man’s “treasure!” Until next week, have fun out in the garden and please contact me if you’re in need of a landscape design, especially a “water thrifty” one to replace lawn. Almost forgot – please call our water district, Rancho Water in Temecula, and ask for them to raise the turf rebate rate (from $2 to $3). At this time, I think it’s critical and only right in keeping with the rest of Southern California and the drought.

Tips for selling your house quickly house, it’s because he is looking at the big picture. If your agent suggests you lower your price, then lower the price…yes, you can get more by asking for less.

Mike Mason and John Occhi Special to the Valley News Read along and prepare yourself with these tips for selling your house quickly and you’ll be in escrow before you have to mow the lawn again. Of course, you’ll have to prepare yourself, your family and your home if you want to sell your house fast. To accomplish this, there are two very basic rules that you should follow early in the process of preparing to sell your house. Two rules to sell your house fast First Rule is to find a seller’s agent that you trust and like. Selling your house fast requires teamwork and communication. Don’t let anyone hustle you with pie-in-thesky promises they can’t deliver. You need to interview three highly regarded agents in your community before making a decision. Realize that the real estate agent you hire is a professional with a wealth of market knowledge, professional contacts and years of experience – all valuable resources who will be selling your house quickly, for the most money, with the least amount of stress to you and your family. If they are a true professional, they won’t have an issue with your careful consideration of the valuable information they have shared with you. Second rule is to listen to your real estate agent. Sure, you know your home but he knows how to sell your house. Remember, you chose your agent because he was the best and you like him; now you must trust your real estate agent. You need to trust and listen to your agent even if you start to feel as your agent is becoming tripe or counterintuitive. If he says you should paint a room, or the whole

Selling your house quickly Many professional real estate agents find that sellers have a universal set of obstacles to overcome which is counterproductive when they plead, “Sell my house quickly!” Learn from these examples. Price it right to sell your house fast In the competitive world or real estate, many agents believe that in order to obtain the listing they should always go in pushing the envelope to convince the sellers that they are such great agents that they will get the highest possible price and that they know what is best and how to sell your house. Hogwash. Let the market set the price and sell your house. You are much better off starting with a lower asking price than a higher one. A value that is set slightly (1 percent to 3 percent) below the market value is much more likely to sell your house quickly and for more money than one priced at the very top of the market. Sure, many sellers believe they want room to negotiate and that if there is no action in a few weeks, they can always come down in price. The problem is that when you start high and lower the price, rarely do you get fair market value and even rarer that you’ll ever get to the number that you’ll get by starting low and letting anxious buyers bring the value up. Then the sellers end up blaming the agent and ask why they “can’t sell my house?” The best place to start is slightly below the lowest, most recent comp. Price your home too high and you’ll do nothing but scare off buyers. When offers do come in, they’ll be lowball offers anticipating your pain and eagerness to move. This is not how to sell a house.

Be different to sell your home fast Sure, every real estate agent who wants to sell your home has a pitch that includes all of the latest gadgetry and electronic gizmos to tell the world about your home. There is no doubt, in this day and age that some of it is a necessity. In today’s Internet society the home buyer public has access to information – too much information at times. Not everyone who reads MLS data fully understands what they are reading, regardless of how a third party website massages it and presents it. This information overload actually slows down the process as home buyers often feel the need to “go back” and research this and that. Many top agents will agree keeping it simple is better. See if the agents you interview might have some “old school” real estate sales techniques up his sleeve that can make your listing stand out from the crowd. Home repair can help sell your home fast While a well-maintained home will always appeal more to a home buyer than one a shabby home that has not been taken care of in years; home renovations are not always the cure all to selling your house quickly. Rarely does the cost of a home renovation ever get recovered by the home seller, yet almost every seller tells every real estate agent who will listen to them, how they spent $25,000 on this project and $10,000 on that one and so their home has to be worth at least $35,000 more than the neighbors down the street, who have never done anything to improve their house. Sure a coat of paint and new carpet take care of many obstacles to a prospective buyer, but all it does is maintain the status quo. It’s better to have the fresh and new, because that’s what the buyers expect – they won’t necessary

give you more. However, they won’t be kicking the tires either saying “there is so much work to be done” to justify the lowball offer they presented. It all makes a difference Don’t interpret this article as the simple three-step process of selling your house quickly as the be-all to end-all magic bullet that will sell your home in a week, it’s not. However, stray from these guidelines and you just may find yourself revisiting this article in a month or two down the road, scratching your head wondering why “selling my house quickly” was such a foreign concept.

Make the most of small living spaces Make use of vertical space Homes where space is at a premium may have limited storage areas. An often-overlooked storage option is vertical space. Space above doors, shelving, and areas above cabinetry are ideal places to store items. Use hooks on walls to keep belongings off the floor. Choose light-colored paint Choose lighter hues for your home furnishings and wall colors. You do not have to limit this to white (unless landlords require white walls). Pale colors will help reflect light and can make the room seem larger than it really is. Using a dark color on the flooring can make other lighter shades really pop in contrast.

TEMECULA—Tiny houses are a recent phenomenon and have spurred many businesses from builders to decorating experts looking to connect with consumers who want to go small. The small house movement advocates for living simply in small homes, some of which can be as small as 100 square

feet or less. Although living in a tiny house is not for everyone, many people prefer small-space living to living in larger, more spacious homes and apartments. For those looking to make the most of their small living spaces, there are ways to make such living arrangements feel larger.

Metal Roofing • Shade Covers • Steel Buildings •

Light is your friend Establish adequate lighting in a room that includes at least three working lights. Varied light sources from different angles will eliminate dark corners and shadows that can make a space feel smaller. Lighting also can draw the eye where you want it and distract attention from the room’s flaws.

Hang mirrors to expand rooms Mirrors can trick the eye into believing there is more space in a room. Mirrors melt away room borders and can accelerate the flow of light. Hanging them throughout your home can make spaces seem larger. Think about built-in furniture Traditional furniture may not be practical for small spaces and can waste a lot of room. Custom-built furniture is often the way to go to maximize the area you do have. Employ a little do-it-yourself initiative as well, customizing items for the perfect fit. Work with a designer If you’re having difficulty making a small space work for you, consult with an interior designer or a contractor for some ideas.

Conceal the clutter If you cannot keep personal belongings to the utmost minimum in a home, experiment with clever ways to keep items out of sight. Furniture that serves dual purposes can help with this task. Storage ottomans will conceal small toys or linens and also provide seating options in a room when guests come over. A dresser can be used as a dining room buffet piece, and the numerous drawers can hold knickknacks or silverware. Furniture with built-in, hidden storage is well worth the investment when living spaces are limited.

Create dual-purpose rooms Lack of space means getting creative with the space you do have. A nook in your bedroom can be devoted to a miniature home office. Perhaps you can establish a crafting center in a portion of your laundry room. Garages have long served as catch-all spaces in homes. Apart from storage, they can be subdivided for home gyms or even a place to gather and watch a ballgame.

TEMECULA—The Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce announced recently that it has reached 1,012 members. The chamber said it thanks its members, board of directors, community partners and the city of Temecula for their

continued partnership. Through the partnership the chamber has demonstrated a proven track record since 1966, advocating for the wellbeing of the business community as a whole by connecting local businesses with the tools they need to be a thriving success. The chamber stated that it greatly values all members and community partners as they have been instrumental in helping it grow and stabilize Temecula’s economy. All have been rooted and vested in the chamber and city of Temecula throughout the course of prosperous and challenging economic times. As the Temecula and surrounding communities grow and diversify, so follows its needs and the chamber has modeled itself on an adaptable

platform to accommodate all. No matter the size, nature, or medium of a local business, the chamber will continue to directly position itself as a place “Where Business Meets Opportunity.” The chamber is dedicated to growing a healthy business community through the support of its individual members and community alliances. The chamber provides organizations of any size or form with educational, promotional, advocacy, and networking opportunities catered to every specific need. It looks forward to welcoming new members, while continuing to meet the unique and individual needs of its current members with the belief that when one business thrives, the business community as a whole succeeds as well.

Ask the Agent Q : Dear Mr. Dennis, we had a balloon mortgage that was supposed to mature in five years with my former landlord. When the time came for us to pay it off, we just couldn’t, so we kept making monthly payments with no formal written agreement. The payments were accepted for a while until the landlord died. His widow, who wasn’t married to him at the time of the original mortgage agreement, wants the payments made out to her. However, the deceased former landlord has a former wife and family. If I make the payments to his widow, is there any way his former family can demand our payments, or insist that because the checks were not made out to her, we therefore didn’t make valid payments? Or should we make the checks out to his estate and let them fight over it? We just want to know, what’s the right thing to do without being cheated? We appreciate your help — Pat Harden. A : What you want to do, Pat, is leave a good paper trail. On your next payment make the check payable to the deceased. Enclose a letter to the widow indicating that you will continue to write all future checks made payable to the deceased until you are instructed to do otherwise via an estate attorney

and accompanying paperwork. That mortgage is part of the deceased’s estate and probably an attorney will contact you to advise how all future payments are to be made. Until that happens, you should continue to make the payments as you have. Be sure to send the payments via certified U.S. mail, return receipt requested. Be sure to make copies of your correspondence and enter it as part of your file. Do not skimp on the paper trail. It is better to use the U.S. mail than to send it by computer. Be sure to maintain an accurate account of your payments because you will need to compare it with their records when it comes time to pay it off. Now all you have to hope for is that they don’t call the mortgage due and payable as per the original agreement.

Lady Pumas win 2015 Powder Puff Sugar Bowl City Championship The Chaparral Lady Pumas and their coaches are the 2015 Powder Puff Sugar Bowl City Champions after defeating Great Oak 6-0, and Temecula Valley 7-3 on Friday, May 15.

JP Raineri Sports Editor The Chaparral Senior Girls Powder Puff Football Team beat Great Oak and host Temecula Valley in back-to-back games to win the 2015 Sugar Bowl City Championship and bring home the Mayor’s Cup on Friday, May 15. The Lady Pumas opened the night against the Lady Wolfpack, who won the inaugural City Championship Trophy. The two teams were in a defensive battle until late in the second quarter when Pumas’ QB Arianna Wesley hit wide receiver Kayleigh Frederick on a fade pattern in the left corner of the end zone. That was the lone score in the game, giving Chaparral their first victory, 6-0. “I just ran a ‘9’ pattern, and Arianna hit me with the ball, and it fell right in my hands,” Frederick said. While the girls’ games were the highlight of night, the male cheerleaders from all three schools impressed with their creative uniforms and cheer/dance routines. The crowd was even treated to a halftime dance-off between great Oak and Chaparral, which could have gone to either team until Chaparral pulled out all the stops with their break dancing back flips. In the very next game, the Temecula Valley Golden Bears, hoping to take advantage of their speed and fresh legs, fought the Chaparral Pumas to a 0-0 tie through three quarters. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Pumas stopped the Lady Bears just outside the 20-yard line. TVHS Head Coach Griffin Doran put in the field goal team and #21 Sydney Magnin split the uprights to give the Lady Golden Bears a 3-0 lead with less than four minutes left in the game. Chaparral’s strong running game got them to midfield, when Arianna then hit Taylor Jackson for a 47yard gain. The Temecula Valley defense dug in and stopped Chaparral for three downs. Ariana connected with Kayleigh in the end zone on another fade to take the lead 6-3. The two connected again on the other side to complete the conversion, 8-3 with one minute left in the game. Temecula Valley took to the air and was able to get to midfield before time ran out. Though they were not victorious in the first game, Temecula Valley did beat Great Oak in the consolation game, 6-0, knocking off last year’s winners and proving there was still some fight left in the hearts of the girls at Temecula Valley High School. The Mayor’s Cup was presented to Chaparral Head Coach Chase Berry by Liz Shipley, Marketing Director of Nutrishop Temecula and Paul Bandong, vice president of Sales for the Valley News, the official sponsors of this year’s Sugar Bowl.

der count, Garcia was charged with attempted kidnapping, child abuse, resisting arrest and four counts of assault with a deadly weapon, with sentence-enhancing domestic violence and great bodily injury allegations. Riverside County District Attorney’s Office spokesman John Hall said the domestic violence allegations stem from a statutory technicality, and there is “no connection” between the defendant and victims, whose identities were not released. Authorities have no clue what may have precipitated the attack. This incident is currently under investigation by the CHP.

Eventually the adults were able to reenter the vehicle and flee to a safe location where they notified authorities, Lassig said. When officers responded to the scene just before 1:20 a.m., they found Garcia on the right shoulder on his knees attempting to set fire to personal belongings of the victims. “CHP Officers extinguished the fire (and) began giving orders to the male subject,” Lassig stated in his

12 arrested in DUI warrants sweep

MENIFEE—Sheriff’s officials announced on Tuesday, May 19 the arrests of a dozen people who failed to take care of drunken driving warrants, and warned offenders to expect additional sweeps in the coming months. Deputies fanned out across Menifee on Saturday, May 16 looking to serve warrants on 32 people deemed “high-risk” DUI offenders. The targets had failed to show up for court dates or violated terms of their probation, sheriff’s Sgt. J.P. Strang said. The sweep was preceded by the mailing of 600 letters to people with outstanding warrants, advising them to stop into the Perris sheriff’s station to be issued new citations and court dates, or face possible arrest. About 120 people responded, Strang said. “The best bet for anyone with a missed DUI court date is to go to court on their own now, or come to the Perris station and we will issue you a new court appearance date,” Strang added. “If you don’t, that warrant isn’t going away. We’re going to come find you and take you to jail.”

Water wasters need to be fined Dear Editor, Not that I don’t care or I’m not doing my part, but I am tired of hearing about the California drought. I’m clearly aware of the need to conserve water and the need for water, which if it ever even slipped my mind I can always look at my water bill and the change in price for water will remind me. About a month ago Governor Brown finally “did” something about it, which was issue executive orders requiring a significant water reduction across the state, but it was the State Water Resources Control Board that implemented under the governor’s order the mandated 25 percent water reduction we all should know about by now. Our state has been going through a drought for some time now. This shouldn’t be new news to any of us here and I sure hope we’ve all been using our water wisely, but I’m afraid that’s not the case. I can’t help but feel agitated when I’m driving around my city, Riverside, and I see large amounts of water being wasted. I’ve come across all sorts of instances like people washing their cars in their driveways with not even a nozzle on the hose at least, which they probably shouldn’t be washing their car at home to begin with because I think it wastes more water. One thing I see all too often though is a problem with sprinklers in residential and commercial areas. My favorite one, and I mean this sarcastically, is when I see them on while it’s raining. Yes,

Vaccinations in the news, again

we haven’t gotten much rain, yet the few times it has I’ve seen this happen. Also let’s not forget the numerous ones that are broken, cracked or malfunctioning just gushing out water day after day. There are countless times where water is being wasted when it shouldn’t be or could be prevented. Let us not even begin with all those water main breaks. I guess what I’m saying is yes California has been going through a drought, people have been noticing the misuse of water as I saw by some previous letter(s) to the editor and it seems that nothing is being actively done. My question to our government and governor is where is the bureaucracy in charge of this? What happened to those fines I hear about for wasting water? Giving a speech to the media and launching a campaign, Save Our Water, is all nice, political and proper, but where are the actions? Obviously, money is being invested in changing the landscape type in some streets, but those bad sprinklers are still out there. The board’s upcoming meeting has California’s ongoing drought emergency listed as number four in their agenda under informational item. I have to listen about it all the time and literally pay the price with rising cost, yet it seems to be no big deal to them. We all know water is important let’s just start acting like it.

Kim Harris Managing Editor Back in our Feb. 20, 2015 edition, I wrote an editorial on vaccinations and why they are important. In the piece “Vaccinations are a must for everyone,” I offered up my opinion that everyone should be vaccinated and information from the CDC stating that there is no link between autism and vaccines. This week I find vaccinations for children in the news again. The California Senate just passed SB-277, a bill that requires all children in public school to be vaccinated. Those for the measure say that these vaccinations keep our kids safe and that it’s important to vaccinate unless there is a medical reason not to. Those who are against it say it infringes on their kids right to a public education, not to mention the fact that it takes away the parents’ right to decided what is best for their children. This controversial move by the Senate comes after the measles outbreak that began in Disneyland earlier this year. The bill, if it passes the Assembly and is signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown, would require all children in public schools to be current and up to date on vaccines against not only measles, but diphtheria, hepatitis B., Mumps, pertussis or whooping cough, polio, rubella, tetnus, varicella or chicken pox and haemophilus influenzae type b, otherwise known as Hib. Students would also be required

More athletes equal more talent for better teams Dear Editor, I am writing to you because I came across the article that was published on April 30, 2015 titled, Rams go the distance, beat Bears in Track and Field League meet written by JP Raineri. I have participated in track and field for three years and have noticed that the number of TVHS athletes is not as great as the number of student athletes of other schools in the district. Other schools seem to have a greater number of athletes com-

pared to our school. Competing against other schools has allowed me to see this and has caused me to question why that is. What are other schools doing? Why do they have so many participants? Are students more informed about sports in those schools? Are they recruited? Does having more athletes make a better team? I assume it does. I feel that more athletes equal more talent, therefore making a better team. This is because I believe that there is hid-

School districts should be able to save for the future, just like Californians do every day. Priorities like low class sizes, sports programs, and arts and music education are spared the budget ax thanks to budget reserves. Even more imperative, healthy reserves mean districts are able to meet the payroll in tough economic times. It is an idea that has widespread support – except in Sacramento. Astonishingly, the majority party passed a new law as part of last year’s state budget that actually limits how much money school

districts can save in years following a state deposit into an education reserve. Republicans proposed legislation (Assembly Bill 1048) to repeal this law and allow local schools to save again. The raw truth is that the majority party passed a bill demanded by union bosses limiting how much a school district can save. Their goal is to have money earmarked to educate our kids end up on the bargaining table. Not surprisingly, this legislation was killed recently by the Assembly Education Committee on a partisan vote. During the hearing, literally hundreds of letters were presented to the committee from

decision to vaccinate their children, or not. As a mom, I can’t imagine not doing everything in my power to protect my kids from diseases that are known killers. Here is where the catch comes in for me, as a self-proclaimed defender of constitutional rights, I have a big problem with SB-277. The U.S. Constitution guarantees us all certain fundamental rights as citizens, and I have to be of the opinion that this bill might just infringe upon those rights. According the California Attorney General’s website, “The right to a public education in California is a fundamental right fully guaranteed and protected by the California Constitution. Recognizing the central role that education plays in our society, the California Legislature has enacted numerous laws designed to promote equality in educational opportunities and to safeguard students against discriminatory practices in public schools providing educational services.” My question for you, the readers, voters and residents of our little valley, is this, where does SB-277 honor the California Constitution’s statement in Article 1, Section 31 that “The State shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation of public employment, public education, or public contracting?”

Repealing the fire tax

den talent in schools and students miss out on opportunities because they do not participate. Without participation students will be unable to find out if they are good at a certain something pertaining to that sport or program.

Politics as usual stops local schools from saving money Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez Special to the Valley News

to be vaccinated against, and I quote directly from the bill here, “Any other disease deemed appropriate by the department, taking into consideration the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Academy of Family Physicians.” SB-277 will eliminate personal beliefs and religious exemptions from vaccination and states that children cannot attend public school unless they are vaccinated, according to the state’s schedule. No vaccination, no entry into public school, end of discussion. The sad thing about this is when I say public school, I mean, charter school, private school or any school. What are they thinking in Sacramento? I’m all for vaccinations. My kids are vaccinated; we even take them for their flu shots and my husband and I get our flu shots and even the pneumonia shot each year. As I stated in my Feb. 20 editorial, we are all “happy, healthy and well adjusted, and much to my relief, protected from these diseases.” Folks, I have to say, I am on the fence on this one and that is something that is pretty uncommon for me. As an individual I understand that vaccines are a parent’s choice and think that everyone should have the ability to come to their own conclusions when making the

Californians who support healthy reserves for local schools. But their voices were drowned out by the special interests lined up to support the status quo. Whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, or an Independent, we should be able to agree that our students are not well served when Sacramento puts politics ahead of what’s best for our kids. Despite this roadblock, I will continue fighting to let local schools save and protect funding for our children’s future. Melendez is a Republican representing the 67th District, encompassing parts of Southwest Riverside County.

Assemblywoman Marie Waldron Special to the Valley News As you know, residents living in unincorporated areas are receiving a tax bill incorrectly labeled the “California Fire Prevention Fee.” Unfortunately, this tax has much more to do with budgeting than it does with fighting fires. Article 13A, section 3(a) of the California Constitution, as amended by Proposition 26, reads: “Any change in state statute which results in any taxpayer paying a higher tax must be… passed by not less than two-thirds of all members elected to each of the two houses of the Legislature.” Section 3(b) then defines “tax” to mean “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by the State,” unless it fits one of five listed exceptions. The fire tax was designated a fee, allowing passage by a simple majority. In response, last session I co-authored legislation to overturn the tax. Unfortunately, that legisla-

tion failed due to majority party opposition. This session, another attempt to repeal the tax, SB 198 by Senator Mike Morrell, R – Rancho Cucamonga, failed to pass the Natural Resources Committee. Fortunately, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association filed suit. Most of you have received a letter from the Board of Equalization asking you to sign a “Petition for Redetermination.” Simply check the last box (Other reasons). You will also need to “explain and provide documentation” and include that information with your petition. Please visit http://firetaxprotest. org/ or contact my District Office at (760) 480-7570 for language necessary to explain and document the petition. If the lawsuit succeeds and you returned your petition within the allotted 30 days, your payment should be refunded. Waldron is a Republican representing the 75th District, encompassing parts of Inland northern Riverside and San Diego counties.

Last week was an exciting week to be a local student athlete, especially for those that are extending their seasons into the playoffs.

Three local water polo players selected to women’s USA National teams JP Raineri Sports Editor When one thinks about water polo in our area, it’s no secret that Murrieta Valley High School has one of the top programs around and with their overall success, also comes the success of the individuals that participate. On May 4, Lady Nighthawk Water Polo players, Randi Reinhardt and Christina Reyes were selected to the USA National Cadet team and teammate Tara Prentice was selected to the Youth team, which is a level higher than Cadet’s due to her age. Over the next few weeks they will be practicing and competing to make the travel rosters on their perspective teams, which could land Reinhardt and Reyes in Jamaica over the summer for the International events, while Prentice will be more local competing for Team USA on our home soil. The girls have been a part of the Olympic Development Program

Murrieta Valley’s Randi Reinhardt was recently selected to the USA Women’s National Cadet Team along with Nighthawk teammate Christina Reyes.

which serves as a forum to identify and develop athletes to represent USA Water Polo throughout domestic and international competition. “They have been working hard

and to just be selected is an honor in itself,” said Reinhardt’s dad, Kevin, who added, “They will be competing over the next couple of

weekends and then by mid-June we should know about the travel rosters and to say they are excited is an understatement.”

16-year-old Lake Elsinore student ready for first salute to Indy PERRIS—Most 16-year-olds are happy with their rides whether it is a brand new beauty with the sticker off of the showroom floor, a family hand me down or a reclamation from the junkyard. Lake Elsinore’s Parker Colston is no different and he will be happy to show off his 800 horsepower USAC/CRA Sprint Car in this Saturday’s annual 40-lap Salute to Indy at Perris Auto Speedway. It will be his first ever appearance in the prestigious race. The 16-year-old, who is a Junior at Temescal Canyon High School in Lake Elsinore, is making a fast rise in the sprint car racing world. Two years ago he started competing in The PAS Young Gun Series for drivers ages 14-21. He stayed in that division through most of 2014 before making the switch to the demanding USAC/CRA Series late in the season. Despite having a nasty flip that destroyed his car and ended his season during qualifying at last year’s Budweiser Oval Nationals at the famous Riverside County clay oval, Colston has not missed a race this season and is the top rated rookie thus far. Not too long ago seeing Colston race anything but a motorcycle would have been a stretch to say the least. His father, Paul, was an accomplished flat track and speedway motorcycle racer and when young Parker first began racing, it was on two wheels. “My dad started out racing flat track and then went to speedway,” the affable teen said. “When I was born, I was to be the next motorcycle racer and that is what I was raised to do. As I got older, my dad wanted me racing with a cage around me (in a car) and I started racing cars at an early age and I am glad I went down this path.” When Colston was 3-years-old, he started racing a PW-50 on Ken Maely’s track in Corona. By the time he was 4, he was racing in front of huge crowds at the weekly speedway motorcycle races on the Orange County Fairgrounds at Costa Mesa. That continued on until his dad had a conversation with John Aden who promotes the Wheel2Wheel Race-

way on the San Bernardino County Fairgrounds in Victorville. Aden not only promotes the track, but he also builds the cars and soon after the conversation, Colston was in a car that he described as “powered by a lawn mower engine with a cage around it.” It helped him to learn how to turn left and pull tear-offs as much as anything else. The youngster spent some time getting used to the car, but he was not in that beginner class for long. “I ran I think two years in the intermediate class which was mostly kids my age,” Colston stated. “When I graduated to the Jawa Division, I was racing a full size Jawa motorcycle engine in a 250-pound go kart with a cage around it and I got thrown out there with bunch of adults. I was racing against grown men! It taught me how to be aggressive.” Colston had some success at Wheel2Wheel including a championship in the intermediates. When

he moved up to the Jawa class, he nearly pulled off an amazing double his first season. At the last race of the year, he was trying to not only sew up the Rookie of the Year award, but also the season championship. On the final turn of the last race, he tried to pass a lapped car and they made contact sending Colston flipping down the track. It not only cost him the Rookie of the Year award, but it also cost him the championship as well. Colston and his crew chief father graduated from the Jawa class to Junior Focus Midgets and then onto the Ford Focus Midgets with USAC where he scored numerous wins at tracks around California including his favorite track, the Santa Maria Speedway. Then it was time to climb another rung up the ladder and to say it was a big one is an understatement. He jumped into The PAS Young Gun Sprint Car Series and that was a whole different ballgame. “I got a bit of a wakeup call driv-

ing a sprint car,” Colston laughed. “It looks very easy, but from the Focus Midgets it was a ginormous difference. I had to learn throttle control. With the Focus Midget, you just pretty much mashed the throttle all the way around. In the Young Guns I had to discipline myself with the throttle and being a smoother driver. It is a huge difference and a big stepping stone.” About halfway through last season, the team started getting some help with setups and he won his first main event. It was also evident that he was improving and the team thought, let’s give it a shot and enter the Oval Nationals. That was a good thing that turned bad pretty quickly when Colston had his first, and up to this time, only violent flip in a sprint car. “In qualifying on the second lap, I drove it into one a little too hard,” the young racer said. “It hooked and bicycled and I went for quite a ride. The only thing that was still good after that crash was the radiator cap. Everything else went to the scrap yard and we had to start completely over.” With a new car built and lots learned by not only Colston but by the crew, they have perfect attendance thus far in 2015 making it to all six of the USAC/CRA races. They have raced in the main event in four of them. His best finish thus far was a 10th at Perris Auto Speedway on May 2. As stated previously, he is the highest ranking rookie in the series being tied for 13th in points overall and he is only 23 points out of 10th. “I am having a blast,” he laughed. “We have a newer chassis and I am learning so much. Even the stepping stone from the Young Guns to the 410 is huge. I am getting a lot of seat time. There is nothing no more fun than this. Since I was a little kid watching the sprint cars go around, I always dreamed that I would get a chance to try this. I did not think it was possible, but you know, this is the dream. I have my moments when I say to myself, ‘look what I am getting the chance to do.’ There

is nothing like sprint car racing. It is absolutely incredible. It is an amazing feeling. It is intense, fast paced and adrenalin rushing. I grew up watching Damion Gardner and Mike Spencer battling years ago and I never imagined I would be on the same track with them. That is really, really cool. I am so thankful.” It takes a lot of people to put the car on the track and Colston wanted to thank them. His father, mother, Richard Gore, Poppa, Nanna, his brother, Dirty Dave, Adam, Rusty Man, Jimmy, Jay, Lonnie and Mel. In addition to the USAC/CRA portion of the program, The PAS Senior & Young Gun Sprint Cars and the California Lightning Sprint Cars will also be a part of Saturday’s show. The Senior Sprints, for drivers 45-yearsold and older. The Young Gun class is for driver’s 14-21-years-old. The California Lightning Sprints are scaled down versions of the full size sprint cars powered by motorcycle engines. Adult tickets for Saturday are $25. Seniors 65 and over get in for $20. For active military members with proper ID, teens 13-18 with their school ID and kids 6-12 it is just $5. Children five and under are admitted free. There will be plenty of tickets for everyone available at the gate on Saturday. If you prefer, advance tickets are available 24 hours a day by calling (800) 595-4849 or online at http://pas.tix.com/Schedule. aspx?OrgNum=7. For more information on The PAS, call (951) 940-0134.

PLACENTIA, Calif.—The California Lightning Sprint Car Series returns to action this Saturday night, May 23, when it makes its first of four 2015 appearances at Perris Auto Speedway for the annual Salute to Indy. Joining the CLS will be the USAC/CRA Sprint Cars and The PAS Senior & Young Gun Sprints. Spectator gates for the quadruple open header racing program will open at 5 p.m. and the first race will be at 7 p.m. Upland’s Alex Grigoreas, who was a regular in SCRA when it was the resident sprint cars series when The PAS first opened, comes into Saturday’s race fresh off his first ever CLS main event win at the Santa Maria Raceway on May 9. In posting the victory, Grigoreas became the third different victor in the first five CLS races in 2015. Lomita’s Bobby Michnowicz and Kingsburg’s Doug Nunes have split the other two races with two triumphs each. With his win at the track in Santa Barbara County, Grigoreas maintained his second place spot in the point standings, but trails two-time series champ Michnowicz by 65-points. Recently married Jeff Dyer of Fort Irwin, Placentia’s Dan Hillberg and James Heling of San Bernardino round out the top five in the championship hunt. Murrieta’s Cori Andrews, who won her first ever CLS main event in 2015 at the Salute to Indy, will be unable to defend her crown after suffering an apparent fractured collarbone in a crash last Saturday night in Placerville. However, the teenage racing star will be on hand to meet fans and sign autographs by the track souvenir stand when the spectator gates open. 2015 CLS Pont Standings 1.
