Fire Chief says May fires “worse than 2007”

When Bill Metcalf, chief of North County Fire, called the firestorms that threatened Fallbrook last week “worse than 2007,” it was apparent he had a grim story to tell.

Metcalf, who has overseen local firefighting efforts in three critical times for Fallbrook - 2003, 2007, and now, 2014, detailed the experience.

“Last week we didn’t have the sheer acreage that burned in 2007, but having nine simultaneous events going on at once made it worse than 2007,” said Metcalf. “It

was a challenge sending resources to the fire area out of their desire to to help at other locations, while watch the fire; they interfered with keeping enough to protect what’s our ability to get resources in to at home. In a normal fire situation, protect the [Fallbrook] line,” said Metcalf. “Every with all of our road we tried to North County “It’s amazing how it all go up, to assess resources, we worked out, thanks to the the situation, can usually was choked overwhelm a fire mutual aid from all the with bystandpretty quickly.”

At Fallbrook Airpark, where the efforts in regards to the Tomahawk Fire, which was burning along Fall- fire was burning nearby, Metcalf said the situation was also disbrook’s western boundary.

“People were blocking our access couraging.

“It was hard for us to get into the airpark because of the people that were parked there watching the fire,” he said. “Folks need to understand that they are blocking emergency crews when they do that.”

“I don’t think the average person understands what danger they are in when they do that stuff,” said Metcalf. “When we ask people to leave and keep roads open, it’s because we are seriously concerned for their safety and the safety of or community.

Tim O’Leary Valley News staff A $13 million public works project will begin soon that could bring noise, dust, traffic congestion and construction clutter to Old Town Temecula.

City officials and Old Town merchants are worried about the

potential impacts of the project. But they also concede that growth must stop in the popular business district until its plumbing is fixed.

They are cautiously monitoring the regional water district that is overseeing the work and the contractor it hires to install a 15-inch

In his backyard, 90-year-old Howard Sharpell flies two flags that are lit by a spotlight; one of them is the American Flag, and the other is a flag honoring Prisoners of War (POWs) and soldiers who are Missing in Action (MIA).

The latter flag has a special significance for Sharpell, who himself was a prisoner of war in a German encampment following the Battle of the Bulge in the winter of 1945.

He said he faced great hardship as a prisoner of what was then Called Stalag IV-B, a facility on the east side of Germany near Belgium.

The winter was harsh inside the prison and Sharpell and his bunkmates would frequently huddle together and pool their blankets just to maintain some degree of warmth from the bone chilling winter air

and snowfall taking place outside.

Food was scarce and packages from the American Red Cross hardly ever made it to the prisoners, who were often forced to rely on watery, grass soup for sustenance.

But Howard eventually escaped his captors and lived to tell the tale of how he found himself in a German POW camp; he told a captivated audience of his experiences as a prisoner while also sharing information about his escape during a two hour presentation at West Coast Ammo in Temecula on May 17.

The presentation was part of the World War II Experience, a series of informational presentations on World War II as seen through the recollections and perceptions of the people who were actually there.

The presentation was led by Linda Dudik, PhD.

Hard News Lake Elsinore man arrested on arson charges LAKE ELSINORE – On Thursday afternoon, May 15, CAL FIRE investigators arrested 32-year-old Luis Angel Munoz Perez for allegedly setting a residential structure fire.

CAL FIRE/Riverside County Firefighters responded to the reported residential structure fire at the 225300 Block of Marie Street in Lake Elsinore at 4:48 p.m.

The first engine company arrived to the reported residential structure with light smoke showing

from a bedroom window. The fire was quickly contained to a nonoperational bathroom. Investigators identified an origin and cause and interviewed Luis Angel Munoz Perez, who admitted intentionally starting the fire.

Luis was transported to the Southwest Detention Center, where he was booked on Arson (Penal Code 451 (b)).

The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office is handling the case.

Woman wakes up to stabbing; suspect caught TEMECULA – On Thursday, May 15 at approximately 2:52 a.m., officers from the Temecula Police Department responded to the 30600 block of Milky Way in the city of Temecula regarding a report of stabbing victim inside a residence.

The caller reported that a female at the location had been stabbed by an unknown intruder. Officers arrived at the scene and provided medical attention to the victim before she was transported to a local hospital for a non-life-threatening injury.

The investigation revealed that a lone male assailant entered the residence while the victim was asleep on a couch in the residence. The victim reported she woke up after feeling a sharp pain and observed the suspect flee from the residence

on foot.

The victim did not recognize the assailant and realized she had been attacked after she observed blood on her clothing. The area was checked for the outstanding suspect and a bloodhound tracking canine was utilized.

Numerous items of evidence were discovered and collected by the responding officers and detectives. After examining the evidence at the scene and after additional investigative leads were pursued, an adult male suspect was located and arrested for the attack.

Anyone with information related to this investigation is asked to contact Detective Jeff Fisher at the Temecula Police Department at (951) 696-3000.

Jury begins third day of deliberations in trial of ex-cop who blinded woman RIVERSIDE – A Riverside jury began its third day of deliberations on May 16 in the trial of a former Beaumont policeman who blinded a woman when he fired a pepperspray gun inches away from her face.

Enoch “Jeremy” Clark, 38, faces more than 20 years behind bars if convicted of assault by a peace officer causing injury, assault with a less lethal weapon, battery causing serious injury and assault resulting in great bodily injury.

Jurors began weighing evidence in the case Wednesday May 14.

Since then, the panel has sent two notes to Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mac Fisher seeking clarification on matters of law, without indicating which way it may be leaning.

Clark fired a pepper spray pistol at point-blank range into the eyes of 32-year-old Monique Hernandez on the night of Feb. 21, 2012.

Deputy District Attorney Mike Carney told jurors in his closing argument that instead of behaving like a professional law enforcement officer, Clark got “annoyed” with Hernandez as she resisted his attempts to handcuff her.

“And look at what happened,” Carney said. “Monique Hernandez will never see again.”

The prosecutor condemned Clark for firing a JPX pepper spray gun, which discharges propellant at 400 mph, 10 inches from Hernandez’s face while arresting her for misdemeanor DUI. The prosecutor characterized all of the defendant’s statements to investigators regarding the confrontation as “bull----.”

“There was no imminent threat to his life. He wasn’t slipping off balance when he pulled that trigger,” the prosecutor said. “Any option was better than what he did.

He goes from a little bit of effort to inflicting a brutal injury.”

“She has her hands behind her back. Yes, she’s mouthy and drunk,

but there is no way to justify his response,” Carney said.

Defense attorney Steve Sanchez faulted his client’s superiors, inadequate training on the weapon, unclear instructions on how to use it and other factors for what transpired.

Sanchez said the JPX manufacturer’s warnings on the minimum safe distance to fire the pepper pistol were confusing. He pointed to errors in the instruction manual, including a misplaced comma that suggested the weapon could be fired from one meter – three feet – away, instead of the 1.5 meters actually required.

The attorney said that because the Beaumont Police Department was “too cheap” to purchase practice cartridges, officers were deployed with the JPX devices without ever having had an opportunity to fire them.

Sanchez said his client’s decision to fire the pepper spray gun was “made in a split second, and you can’t second-guess the officer.”

A dash-cam videotape taken from Clark’s patrol car on the night of the confrontation showed an intoxicated Hernandez with her hands behind her back, jostling as Clark attempts to handcuff her.

The lawman repeatedly tells the woman to “stop resisting” and “get your hands behind your back,” while Hernandez answers, “I’m not resisting” and demands to know why she’s being taken into custody.

The grainy black-and-white video clip runs two to three minutes, at the end of which Clark reaches toward his duty belt and unholsters a device, firing it into Hernandez’s face.

Clark and the city of Beaumont are being sued in federal court for alleged civil rights violations leading to permanent injury. Los Angeles attorney Milton Grimes is representing Hernandez.

Clark is free on $50,000 bail.

Suspect in fatal stabbing identified, booked for murder Kim Harris Special to the Valley News The suspect in a fatal stabbing in Temecula on May 15 has been identified as 23-year-old Jonathan Kim of Temecula. Kim was booked for the murder of Wilysha Gardner, a 21-year-old resident of Temecula.

According to a press release issued on May 20, Temecula Police responded to the 27000 block of Nellie Ct. in Temecula on Thursday, May 15 at 8:59 a.m. after receiving a report of an assault with a deadly weapon inside a home.

According to the release issued

by Riverside County Sheriff ’s Office, the officers arrived on the scene and located a deceased female inside the residence.

The press release goes on to say that another resident in the area called to report that they were following a person who had fled the scene.

A short time later, officers located

and arrested the suspect outside of Lowes according to eyewitness reports.

Investigators from the Temecula Police Department and the Central Homicide Unit assumed the investigation.

The suspect allegedly was involved in a second stabbing incident earlier that day, fortunately, the victim of that attack survived. The name of the second victim, who lives in Temecula, is not being released.

The Valley News was initially notified of the incident by Debra Jilek, executive assistant to the Temecula Valley Unified School District Superintendent, when she alerted the press of a lockdown at James L. Day Middle School in Temecula. The school went on lockdown to protect students until the suspect was apprehended.

“This was a police-initiated incident and no further details were available at the time of the call,”

JP Raineri photo Riverside County Sheriff deputies responded to the home on the 27000 block of Nellie Court on Thursday, May 15 around 9 a.m. after receiving a report of an assault with a deadly weapon.

said Jilek who reported that the lockdown was lifted by the police at about 9:35 a.m.

According to witnesses in the 27000 block of Nellie Ct. and Chantemar Way, a man was seen running from a house yielding a knife, heading west towards Margarita Rd. A neighbor that witnessed what appeared to be the alleged stabbing of a young girl at the house on Nellie Ct. tracked down the suspect in his car and cornered him at the Lowes Hardware store located on Margarita and Winchester Rd. The neighbor was said to have subdued the alleged attacker until police arrived.

No further details were available at press time and anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Investigator James Campos of the Central Homicide Unit at (951) 9552777 or Investigator Darin Gray (951) 696-3000.

Convicted felon from Norco accused of fatally beating man to stand trial for murder RIVERSIDE – A convicted felon accused of killing a Corona man he supplied with marijuana by strangling him and beating him with anything he could get his hands on must stand trial for murder, a judge ruled on May 17.

Francisco “Frank” Humberto Real, 41, of Norco was arrested in December 2013 after allegedly killing 23-year-old Michael Cheatham.

Following a 90-minute preliminary hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Prevost found there was sufficient evidence to bound Real over for trial on the murder count, as well as being a convicted felon in possession of a gun and sentence-enhancing allegations of using a gun to commit a felony and recklessly discharging a firearm.

Prevost scheduled a post-preliminary hearing arraignment in the case for June 6.

Real remains held in lieu of $1 million bail at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside.

According to investigators, Cheatham had purchased pot from Real for two years as part of a medical marijuana distribution business.

The defendant described the victim as his “partner” but noted that by the time of the deadly confrontation last Dec. 18, Cheatham had fallen behind in his payments for the cannabis,

owing between $3,000 and $4,000.

Corona police Detective Dan Bloomfield testified that around 7 p.m., Real went to Cheatham’s two-bedroom apartment at 638 Stoneybrook Drive with the intent of collecting at least part of the debt.

Bloomfield said that during the encounter, Real and Cheatham went into a room that functioned as an office, where a confrontation ensued. Real told authorities that Cheatham struck him from behind, sending the defendant to the floor.

“Frank told me that he was in a fight for his life,” Bloomfield testified. “He said Mike grabbed a gun and tried to shoot him, grabbed a skateboard and tried to hit him, grabbed a steak knife and came at him. Each time, Frank said he was able to get the things away from him.”

The defendant also told investigators he became “enraged” during the altercation and “blacked out,” forgetting much of what happened beyond a certain point.

A downstairs neighbor heard the commotion and also heard a man shouting, “Help me! Help me!” at which point she dialed 911 and summoned the police, according to testimony.

Officers testified that when they arrived and accessed the apartment

less than 10 minutes later, the space was a bloody mess, with smears on the hallway walls and pools of blood in two rooms.

Cheatham was found lying on his stomach on the floor of the master bedroom, blood-soaked, with a black belt buckled tightly around his neck, according to testimony.

A .380 semiautomatic handgun was found in his right hand, but detectives said it appeared to have been placed there. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy revealed he suffered multiple blunt force traumas to his neck and head.

Officers found Real lying in a nearby room, appearing exhausted but largely unscathed, with the exception of a couple of minor cuts.

Bloomfield testified the handgun had been fired twice. Further investigation revealed it was registered to Real’s brother-in-law. A homemade silencer customized to fit the pistol was later seized in the detached garage of Real’s home, where a number of marijuana plants were also discovered, according to the detective.

According to court records, the defendant has a prior felony conviction for manufacturing an illegal firearm.

If convicted, he could face 30 years to life in prison.

59-year-old construction worker dies in demolition of bridge over 91 freeway RIVERSIDE – A construction worker fell to his death early on May 17 when a railroad bridge over the 91 freeway in Riverside buckled during its demolition and partly collapsed, and snarled traffic in both directions until midday.

California Highway Patrol officers were dispatched at 3:17 a.m. to the Pachappa Railroad crossing between 14th Street and Central Avenue over the westbound lanes of the freeway. The bridge was being demolished as part of the 91 freeway expansion when a component on the bridge apparently buckled, Cal Trans spokeswoman Terri

Kasinga said.

The movement caused the section where the subcontract worker, identified by the coroner’s office as Okesene Faasalele, 59, of Long Beach, was harnessed to collapse.

That portion of the bridge twisted during the fall and swung Faasalele to the westbound lanes below, Kasinga said.

The road had been closed to traffic during the demolition. It was not known what caused the bridge to move as an investigation was ongoing, Cal Trans spokeswoman Michelle Profant said.

Faasalene was taken to Riverside

Community Hospital where he died of his injuries at 4 a.m., the Riverside County Coroner’s Office reported.

He worked for a subcontractor called Hard Rock, said Kasinga, who wasn’t sure where the company was based.

Traffic on both sides of the freeway between Seventh Street and Adams Avenue had been closed since 11 p.m. Saturday, but the closure had been extended because of the fatality. All westbound lanes of the 91 freeway had re-opened as of 2:08 p.m. while only two lanes on the other side remained closed, Profant said.

Initiative to remove county-wide ban on marijuana dispensaries to go on ballot for voter consideration RIVERSIDE – An initiative aiming to rescind the city of Riverside’s ban on marijuana dispensaries was certified by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters and qualified to go on the ballot, it was announced on May 17.

A total of 20,206 signatures were submitted for the initiative petition but only 13,640 of them were considered valid and sufficient to qualify by the registrar’s office.

Voters likely will cast their bal-

lots over the measure in June 2015, according to news reports. The city did not appoint a commission to look into the licensing and regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries five years ago, attorney Jason Thompson, with Riverside Safe Access, said.

The issue over Riverside’s marijuana dispensary ban was taken up at the state Supreme Court, which ruled in the city’s favor in 2013.

Funded by Riverside Safe Ac-

cess, the proponents behind the measure to license and regulate marijuana dispensaries hope to enlighten the public about the issue in a rational and honest manner, Thompson said.

“Getting it on the ballot is one thing, but now Riverside Safe Access must educate the city of Riverside’s voters that a system of licensed and regulated collectives is preferable to a ban,” he said.

Stetson Lawrence won the May 17-18 Professional Bull Riders competition at the Pala Rodeo Grounds.

Judges Bill Pacheco and Steve Yoast gave the Williston, N.D. cowboy 176 points for his two Saturday rides, and when no other cowboy was able to match that score by the end of the second day Pala Casino gave Lawrence the $8,596.80 first-place share of the total $25,000 prize money.

“Just really blessed and happy,” Lawrence said.

“I’ve been struggling a little bit,” Lawrence said. “Just glad to get two bulls covered.”

The format of the PBR at Pala involves a “long go” of 35 entries with 10 of those advancing to the “short go,” where any score is added to their long go score. If fewer than 10 riders have a qualified ride in the long go, the cowboys who stayed on their bulls the longest comprise the remainder of the short go competitors.

Pala has separate long go and short go sessions each day with the final prize money being awarded to the cowboys with the best overall one-day scores. A cowboy may enter on both days and receive separate scores if he pays separate entry fees, and Lawrence took advantage of that opportunity.

The 25-year-old Lawrence has been a PBR member since he was 18. Pala Casino has had an annual PBR event across the parking lot from Pala Casino since 2010. The 2014 competition was Lawrence’s first at Pala. “It had the most money added for the weekend,” he said.

“Otherwise it’s a long way from my home.”

(Added money refers to money other than the entry fee portion of the jackpot and is provided by sponsors or other sources.)

Tommy G Productions is used for both stock and contract acts.

The Pueblo, Colo. company used bulls from several stock contractors. In the Saturday long go, Lawrence rode Attitude Adjustment from stock contractor MG Bulls.

“Just a good bull away from my hand,” he said Pacheco and Yoast awarded Lawrence 86 points for his performance on Attitude Adjustment. “I rode good,” Lawrence said.

Humpz N Hornz is the stock contractor which owns Detailer, who was Lawrence’s Saturday short go partner.

“That bull was pretty good,” Lawrence said. “Turned back into my hand, which I prefer.”

Each judge gives the rider a score of up to 25 points and the bull a score of up to 25 points, and the scores for the cowboy and the animal are added to determine the final score. “My short round bull first night was probably one of the better rides I’ve made,” Lawrence said.

The combined rider and bull scores from Pacheco and Yoast were worth 90 points for Lawrence.

“I was well appreciative of that,” Lawrence said.

The 90-point ride was the highest short go score ever in the history of Pala PBR and only the second ride of at least 90 points. In 2013, Gage Gay had a long go score of 90.5 points on Money Blue.

Lawrence’s highest-scored ride was on May 31, 2012, when his 91 points on Buckin’ Fantastic won the Aaron Roy PBR Invitational in Asquith, Saskatchewan.

The two Saturday rides gave Lawrence 176 points. Montana

Brinson James, the entertainer, shows the Pala PBR crowd rope tricks on May 17 during a break in bull riding competition.

cowboy Brady Sims was the only other May 17 rider who stayed on both of his bulls for the required eight seconds; an 83-point short go ride gave Sims an average (aggregate) of 159 points.

Lawrence’s score is the second highest in Pala PBR history. Rubens Barbosa had a score of 177.5 to win the 2012 PBR. The May 17 performance, the first Saturday evening event in Pala PBR history, also saw an attendance record. The general admission bleachers seat 2,444, and the attendance also includes standing room only general admission space and two VIP areas. The general admission seats were sold out with standing room only being utilized.

Lawrence also appreciated the support of the fans on both days.

“The crowd’s nice,” he said.

The Pala Rodeo Grounds also had a new configuration from the previous four rodeos. The bleachers were moved from the south side to the west side with the north side VIP area being shortened and a second VIP area placed on the south side. The chutes, which previously had been on both the west side and the east side, were all on the east side this year.

Lawrence still faced the possibility of a May 18 rider beating his first-place score. “Somebody had to put two good bull rides together. I was a little nervous, but it worked out my way,” he said.

The third rider May 18 was Jay Miller of Liberty, S.C. Miller scored 86.5 points on Whiplash, which remained as Sunday’s best long go ride. Lawrence was the 33rd cowboy in the May 18 performance and was on Ace, who is owned by Menifee stock contractor Alex Hauser. “Just a nice little bull to get on,” Lawrence said.

Lawrence stayed on Ace for the required eight seconds and was

given 79 points for his ride. Ten riders in Sunday’s long go covered their bulls, and Lawrence’s score ranked seventh. The inverse order of the short go made Lawrence the fourth rider.

Lawrence was bucked off by the Jerry Brown bull Boot Jack approximately halfway between the opening of the chute and the eight-second buzzer. However, a re-ride may be given if the rider is fouled in the chute, so Lawrence had one additional opportunity for a second position payout.

(A re-ride may also be given if the chute is opened before the rider signals that he is ready. The judges may award a re-ride to a cowboy if they feel that the animal did not buck sufficiently; if the cowboy takes the re-ride option the score or lack thereof on the re-ride replaces his initial score.)

The remaining short go cowboys and bulls preceded Lawrence’s re-ride. Arizona rider Tyler Harr rode Harlem Shuffle for 83 points and an average of 166 points, moving him into second place.

Miller scored 86 points on Game Over, giving him 172 points for what would earn second place and $6,917.13.

Lawrence had his re-ride on the Alex Hauser bull Move Over but stayed on for only a couple of seconds. His one-head average May 18 did not place him in another of the eight paying positions; Kansas’ Kasey Hayes scored 84.5 points that afternoon for the eighth-place average. Lawrence followed his unsuccessful re-ride attempt with the presentation of the first-place check.

“I’ll come back next year for sure,” Lawrence said.

CAR SHOW, from page A-1 types of cars to be seen.

Some cars proudly bore spots of rust that showed their age while others were dolled up with bright metallic paint and a thick coat of wax, bringing people back to the time they were new.

The main center of the event was the parking lot between Mad Madeline’s Grill and Texas Lil’s, two area restaurants.

The car show was the result of a joint initiative between the businesses and Slow Lane Car Club.

Together, they aimed to bring a car show to Old Town Temecula that was somewhat different than other shows to take place in the area, according to Slow Lane member Boxer Segura.

“The Rod Run that we have in Old Town Temecula is cool, but sometimes you need to get there the night before and there’s a lot of heavy traffic,” Segura said. “We wanted to do something milder; something on a lower level.”

Cory Montgomery, owner of Old Town Temecula Root Beer Company, said she liked the way the car show was set up because it brought many local residents to the area. She said the increase in locals appeared to be bolstering business for her and other merchants.

In March, Montgomery expressed concern over the city’s handling of the Rod Run. She said she wished there was better communication between city officials and merchants and that she would like to see the event extended through Sunday to attract more people.

But this event seemed just right for businesses, she said.

“It brings a lot of the local people in instead of the people who are from out of town who are just here for the car show,” she said. “And the local people will come in and shop the merchants.”

Sid Hamilton, owner of Mad Madeline’s grill, said many merchants were in favor of having a car show on a regular basis for just that reason, but wanted to do something that wouldn’t leave all parties worn out.

He said the ideal situation among the merchants would be to have a car show the second Sunday of every month, but for now they are starting off slow with the event and only doing it every once in a while.

The show on May 18 was the second to be put on by Mad Madeline’s, Texas Lil’s and Slow Lane Car Club but many classic car drivers were apparently getting word of it.

Approximately 80 cars strolled into Old Town at the top of the morning and that number increased to approximately 120 cars by midday, Hamilton said.

Many car owners were excited to share their cars and the stories behind them. One of those individuals was Denny McCoy, who aptly named his 1929 Ford Model “A” Roadster Convertible Pickup, “The Real McCoy.” The car was elaborately deco-

Mad Lil’s four-part car show throughout the year with two more shows happening on July 13 and Sept. 14.

rated with faux fish and fishing poles and was marked by a rustic paint effect McCoy created in his garage by sanding away parts of the black paint that had been put over the car’s original deep red in the 70s.

McCoy said he found the car rotting away under a painter’s tarp in a storage yard in Rainbow and decided to fix it up; he bought it for $7,000, rebuilt the car’s original four cylinder motor, and got it running.

McCoy’s fish car was just one of many to be seen and hundreds of local residents stopped to look at the various cars throughout the course of the day.

The proceeds generated from raffles and some of the vendors at the event went to benefit Single Mothers United in Rewarding Fellowship (SMURF), a Murrieta Church of Christ Program that provides single mothers with resources and events.

Hamilton said he was happy with how Sunday’s event went and said he’s looking forward to doing it again in the future.

“We like doing this, and we’re looking forward to do this again,” he said. “Hopefully everyone’s on board.”

POW from page A-1 Dudik took West Coast Ammo’s audience on a narrative journey from the early 1910s through the end of the 1940s, when Howard faced the culmination of his wartime experience.

She discussed the transformative nature of the war and how it changed Howard in multiple ways.

“You are a different person after that war and it has impacted you,” Dudik said. “And Howard went through a transformation.”

That transformation began in December of 1944 when Howard was a combat engineer for the 106th Infantry Division of the Army. He and his fellow troops found themselves in combat when German troops began to pour into Saint Vi, a town not far from where they were stationed.

“We were awakened very early and told that we were going to have to fill in where the infantry was broken through,” Howard said.

“And realizing then that we were no longer engineers, we took our positions in the hills outside of Bleialf.”

In Bleialf, men from Howard’s unit were pinned down by a heavy artillery German machine gun commonly referred to as a “burp gun.”

After helping to free his fellow soldiers from the Germans, Howard was captured by the enemy and put on a train cart to one of the German Stalegs.

Howard made multiple escape attempts, but it was ultimately to no avail since he eventually found himself in the Staleg anyway. It wasn’t until a guard agreed to take him to get his tooth checked out by a dentist – since a filling had fallen out – that he found a way out of the prison.

He was having a conversation with a dentist who was also a POW and the dentist was asking him questions to gage whether he was an American or a German, as sometimes Germans planted English speakers as a means of thwarting escape attempts.

When he answered the seemingly trivial questions correctly, Howard was offered an escape route.

“And he said, ‘Good, you just passed. Have you ever thought about getting out of here?’ He was the chairman of the escape committee,” Howard said.

In April 1945, after being given money and information about how to escape, Howard made his way out of the prison and toward a location where he knew there would be American troops present.

After he arrived to a location where Americans were stationed, he was weighed and measured. He had gone from being 166 lbs. to

being only 112 lbs, but he had survived four grueling months inside a German military prison.

He made the journey home not long after that, arriving to the home of his parents in New York. He would be discharged later that year in November.

Today, Howard manages a support group for former POWs. He’s never forgotten his experience as a prisoner of war, nor has he forgotten the many thousands of military people who found themselves in the same predicament. He said his thoughts are always with those individuals who never returned to their families.

“In the support group, we are there for each other,” he said. “And one thing we keep saying is, ‘MIA’s you’re not forgotten and we will never let you be forgotten.’”

FIRES from page A-1

and the agency had also loaned an engine company to the Carlsbad (Poinsettia) Fire at the request of the mutual aid command.

“We immediately called all personnel back from training,” said Metcalf, who said problems developed minute by minute.

“I thought I had one problem solved and then I would turn around and there was another [smoke] column in the sky, it was just one after another after another,” he said.

“Everything started within the space of a couple of hours on Wednesday.

When our mutual aid system has time to gear up, we have a lot of resources, but it is sheer logistics, it takes time for help to arrive.”

“At that point in the Highway Fire all of the normal help we would get here on fires was committed; it wasn’t available,” said Metcalf.

“Our resources got stretched really thin before the Calvary arrived.”

Sgt. Patrick Yates of the Fallbrook Sheriff’s substation said changing priorities was the order of business.

“The Highway Fire was blowing toward a very populated area (Lake Rancho Viejo) and the Tomahawk Fire was going toward the heart of Fallbrook,” said Yates. “The worst thing was trying to decide how to effectively manage assets between the two.” The substation had units on loan to San Marcos to help with the raging Cocos Fire.

“Our assets were depleted because of all the fires occurring at the same time in North County,” said Yates.

“If the winds hadn’t died down Wednesday at 6:30 p.m., we would have had apartments and homes burned in Fallbrook; it could have been catastrophic,” he said. “We were asking for assets but had received little to none at that time, because there were so many commands asking for help.”

Fire, Metcalf said. “A strike team from Orange County came in to help us with the Highway Fire as did engines from Riverside, San Bernardino, and Northern California.” As that assistance arrived, some resources were moved to help with the Cocos Fire in San Marcos.

On Thursday afternoon, a spot fire from the Tomahawk began a fresh charge at Fallbrook, which resulted in an evacuation order for Olive Hill Road from South Mission to Ladera Vista.

“We were in position to try and catch it at any point it tried to come across the Fallbrook border,” said Metcalf. “The fire did get off the base and in to Color Spot Nursery.

The nursery workers opened all the gates and helped our crews locate all the hydrants. We were able to stop the fire when it came across the perimeter in half a dozen places.”

By 7:30 p.m., the threat had been reduced and the evacuation order lifted.

Metcalf said during this time he met Sheriff’s Lt. Wager. “[The Sheriff’s substation] was also stretched thin because deputies had been dispatched to help with the Cocos Fire, but he got a lot of officers up here at staged them at River Village in case more evacuations had to take place. He did a great job getting resources in place.”

Wager said he had secured a platoon of 40 law enforcement officers comprised of members of the Chula Vista Police Dept., National City Police Dept., Imperial Beach Sheriff’s station, and San Diego City Schools police.

“When a major incident goes down, there is a composite platoon that comes together that responds to the affected area,” said Wager. “We staged them at South Mission Road and 76; they stood by to be deployed as needed.”

As Thursday rolled into Friday, Metcalf said the weather change worked to the firefighters’ advantage.

“Friday morning was 10 to 15 degrees cooler and the wind had died down,” he said. “We had been under siege since Tuesday and we were dealing with exhaustion, trying to keep our people safe.”

The fact that these firestorms occurred in May was cause for serious reflection, Metcalf said.

“This is normally what we see in September and October,” said Metcalf. “The fire behavior we saw was extreme and dangerous. There was long-range spotting going on with embers being thrown miles ahead of the firefront. We had fire whirls (or fire tornados as some call them).”

“This is the extreme kind of fire behavior that we don’t see usually until later in the fire season, but this is an indicator of what we might see this summer,” he said. “The Santa Anas are always the question.”

“It’s amazing how it all worked out, thanks to the mutual aid from all the agencies - from everywhere in California,” said Metcalf. No firefighters were injured in the Fallbrook area fires.

Metcalf echoed that statement.

“We were stretched pretty thin the first several hours, but we continued to get the word out about how dire our situation was and we finally got air support - although it was only a drop here and there. Then one helicopter came in from Orange County and we were able to herd the fire.”

Firefighters were then able to drive the Highway Fire was then driven around homes and the Rancho Monserate mobile home community. “I was never so relieved to see where this fire was going - into the planted tomato fields above Vessels Ranch” said Metcalf.

Then more came into play again.

“I saw the smoke shift on the Naval Weapons Station as an onshore wind kicked in,” said Metcalf. “That was the first time that the Tomahawk Fire made a run back into Fallbrook; it came back into the area south of Ammunition Road by the sewer treatment plant and a trailer park.

Metcalf said he had to once again reposition resources and formed a structure protection group with the assistance of the naval weapons station.

“We did the first evacuation advisories; up to that we hadn’t done any earlier in the Tomahawk Fire, then the wind died down,” he said. “The fire burned right to fence, but never came across, but we were ready.”

Through Wednesday night, Metcalf said they continued to work on the Highway Fire in the southeastern part of the community and protected the western perimeter of town from the Tomahawk.

“At this point we did general recall, we had all units and staff back, all reserve engines, including people with pick up trucks, shovels, and rakes,” he said. “Everything that had wheels on it was staffed.”

Resources began coming in from other areas to help with the Highway

job, it’s pretty selfish.”

Sheriff’s Lt. Art Wager, the new commander of the Fallbrook substation, reiterated Metcalf’s concerns, but addressed the problem it can create with evacuations.

“We did not have any problems getting folks evacuated out of the Olive Hill area [during the Tomahawk Fire], but when an emergency is occurring, we ask the public to please not go to the area involved,” said Wager. “That causes issues with crowd control. People who are trying to enter the area to look around become mixed up with evacuee traffic and it worsens the situation.”

Both North County Fire and the Fallbrook Sheriff’s substation had personnel loaned out through its mutual aid agreement to other fire incidents in North County at the time the threat escalated in Fallbrook.

When the Bernardo Fire started Tues., May 13, North County Fire was requested to provide the state fire engine that is hosted in Fallbrook. “That’s the yellow fire engine we have; it is actually owned by the State Office of Emergency Services,” explained Metcalf. “We had to send that out with a crew.”

After keeping track of the Bernardo situation overnight, Metcalf said Wednesday morning, May 14 brought a call of a structure fire near Reche Road and Tecalote.

“We sent a bunch of resources out there, but couldn’t find any fire,” said Metcalf. “When we turned around, we saw smoke coming from the Naval Weapons Station, which would become the Tomahawk Fire.”

Metcalf said he immediately directed staff to assess the western boundary of Fallbrook, near the town center.

“I sent engines to the end of Fallbrook Street, Alvarado, and College - all the areas that had fences to the Naval Weapons Station,” he said.

Metcalf said at the time, a 30 mph wind was blowing from east to west.

“The immediate threat was going away from us.”

“We were concerned, but the fire was moving away - we were just wanting to make sure it didn’t back down into western Fallbrook,” he said.

Meanwhile, dispatch information came to Metcalf in regards to the Highway Fire at West Lilac Road and Old Highway 395 which was beginning to threaten Rancho Monserate senior mobile home community.

“We knew from the initial reports that this was going to be a major fire,” said Metcalf. At the time, some North County Fire personnel were away at training sessions

SEWER from page A-1 sewer line through the heart of the compact, constantly-changing economic zone.

“The new sewer (line) must be built, but the city is rightfully concerned,” Temecula City Councilman Jeff Comerchero said in a recent interview. Growth is at a standstill, he acknowledged, because the district’s existing 8-inch sewer line is at capacity.

He hopes the Eastern Municipal Water District project, which could begin to unfold in the coming months, is as “least impactful as possible.”

For its part, Eastern officials say they are mindful of city and merchant concerns and steps will be taken to minimize the construction impacts.

Planning has been under way for years, and a May 1 meeting attracted about 30 merchants and business owners.

“We wanted to make sure we were out front on this,” said Roxanne Rountree, an Eastern public affairs officer. “It’s a little community down there and we want to work together.”

A separate meeting between Eastern and city officials that focused on the sewer line project was held March 26.

The 3,000-foot line, which will parallel Old Town Front street, is in the final phase of its design. The new line will stretch from First Street to Moreno Road. Work is expected to begin in September, and continue until November 2015.

In order to minimize construction impacts, Eastern will keep the existing 8-inch sewer line in place and it will remain in service well into the future. Eastern also plans to ask its contractor to use a “trenchless” process to install the new line.

That method limits the need for trenching by relying on the use of boring equipment. The work will be done in segments as crews move from one end of Old Town to the other.

The trenchless process will result in “significantly less” impacts than conventional methods, according to an Eastern memo.

Comerchero and some merchants are comparing the sewer line work to the last major public project that targeted Old Town Front Street.

That 1998 facelift cost $5.5 million, and the city was intimately involved with its contractor during the improvements that included wooden sidewalks, new street lights and decorative arches.

Old Town Temecula anchored a vast agricultural area in the 1880s.

It was a stagecoach and railroad hub for cattle ranches, farms and granite quarries that blanketed the region.

But Old Town’s fortunes dipped after the 84,500-acre Vail Ranch was sold for development and Interstate 15 split the fast-growing community.

Residential and commercial growth shifted away from Old Town, and the aging buildings there became the home of about 120 antique and collectible shops and other small businesses.

Old Town languished until the city targeted it for a 1998 facelift that came after a developer’s plan to build a Western-theme entertainment venue fizzled there.

That facelift was funded by redevelopment revenues, an income source that was tapped for an array of city projects that included an $11 million community theater and a $3.2 million children’s museum.

From the start, city officials worked to prevent a merchant backlash over the construction impacts of the facelift project. Prior to the start of the project, the City Council agreed to pay the contractor a $200,000 premium to ensure that the work would be done before the upcoming Christmas shopping season.

The city also funded a $65,000 promotional campaign to help market Old Town during the construction project. Visitors were given plastic yellow construction-style hats decorated with stickers that proclaimed: “I helped make Old Town Temecula great!!”

Comerchero and another councilman met weekly with merchants during informal gripe sessions that centered on the improvement work.

One meeting attracted about 80 concerned merchants, according to a July 1998 newspaper report.

Yet many of the merchants’ fears failed to materialize, however, as a city report released in February 1999 noted that Old Town sales tax revenues had climbed during the construction period.

City officials have long contended that the community theater, the museums, wooden sidewalks and other public projects have served as magnets to private development. Those private developers, who sometimes also tapped city redevelopment funds, in turn built affordable apartments, office buildings and restaurants, city officials noted.

Waves of construction booms in recent years brought several multi-

story buildings to Old Town’s skyline. Numerous aging commercial buildings and deteriorating homes were razed or moved to make way for taller, larger projects in Old Town.

Old Town’s most visible structure – a $93 million Civic Center complex – opened in December 2010 at an intersection that was once destined to anchor a Western-theme concert hall and other attractions. That price tag included purchasing land and constructing a Spanish-style City Hall, a conference room, police satellite office, parking garage, visitors’ center and an outdoor amphitheater.

Other private developments followed and specialty restaurants, clothing and food shops now fill many storefront locations.

Dozens of special events are held annually at the Civic Center and other Old Town locations. In some years, especially during sunny weekends, the Rod Run vintage car show attracts more than 70,000 visitors to Old Town streets.

A new bridge recently opened that replaced the aging Main Street span across Murrieta Creek. The previous two-lane concrete structure was built in 1945. The new 155-foot steel bridge, which cost about $5 million to build, features a turn-of-the-century look. A federal infrastructure grant paid about 95 percent of the bridge’s construction cost.

The same day that the new bridge opened, Mayor Maryann Edwards focused on Old Town during part of her State of the City presentation.

She noted that more than 100,000 square feet of restaurants and other commercial space were added to Old Town during the past year. She went on to describe the area as “a vibrant, popular downtown district with its old west charm.”

Local She praised the recent completion of the 43,000-square-foot Truax Building, a boxy residential and commercial structure that flanks the west side of Interstate 15.

Yet while most observers were content to watch Old Town’s continually reshape itself, city and special district officials tackled the area’s key infrastructure need.

Eastern officials noted in 2010 that city-approved land use changes would soon strain Old Town’s existing sewer line. A new line would be needed to accommodate future growth and ease the stress that largescale special events add to the existing system.

Design work began in February 2012. Thus far, Eastern has spent about $1.3 million on the design, inspection and land acquisition costs of the project.

Rountree said Eastern engineers estimate that it will cost about $12.6 million to buy and install the new sewer line. Much of that cost will be funded through an assessment district that targets new development that will benefit from the line.

Craig Puma, a past president of the Old Town Temecula Association and the owner of two restaurants, predicted some businesses will be “impacted adversely” by the work.

“It’s going to be tough on business,” Puma said in a recent telephone interview.

Puma said The Bank, the Mexican restaurant he owns in a prominent historic building, suffered a drop in sales during the recent yearlong period in which the Main Street Bridge was closed during the replacement process.

Puma said he created a promotional cocktail during the bridge construction that he used to attract

customers. The “Piledriver” was sold at a discount price whenever construction equipment pounded bridge footings into the nearby creek bed, he said.

Puma said he fears that sales may also dip during the sewer line project, especially since one of the contractor’s excavation shafts will likely be placed in front of his restaurant. He is now contemplating serving the “Shaftarita” cocktail in recognition

of the sewer project’s drilling process.

Puma said some of his concerns were eased when Eastern officials detailed their impact-buffering efforts during the May 1 meeting with Old Town merchants.

“They’ve really gone overboard in protecting the businesses and making it as unobtrusive as possible,” he said.

Local 12th annual Solar Boat Races take place at Lake Skinner Alex Groves Staff Writer Forty different high schools participated in the 12th annual Solar Boat Races at the Lake Skinner Water Reservoir outside of Temecula Valley’s Wine Country from May 16-18.

For many of the students in attendance, the event represented the culmination of a year’s worth of work. Students began working as early as November in order to ensure a good quality design and a well-written technical report detailing what they built, event organizer Julie Miller said.

Miller, an employee of Metropolitan Water District, has been involved with the event for more than a decade and has seen it evolve and change.

She said she has seen it grow in popularity since the time it was started, and that what was once an event consisting of a loose scatter-

ing of different high schools has become extremely popular.

More high schools apply to the competition than can be accepted, so it’s not uncommon for multiple area high schools to pull together to build a solar boat, she said.

Once the application process is complete and student teams know they’ve been accepted, it’s time to start building the boats.

The process takes months as everything is built from scratch.

Students use power tools and piece together the various parts of the boat’s wooden structure as well as its solar-powered motor according to instructions given to them at the beginning of the year.

Of course, there were some learning curves for some of the students involved.

“We have kids who have never used power tools before because the industrial arts have been lost in some schools,” Miller said. “So they’re like, ‘How do I use a drill?

What do you mean I have to ham-

mer?’ So that’s always interesting.”

“But it’s kind of fun to watch the kids who in November couldn’t nail or hammer or put epoxy on now because when a problem arises

they’re fixing it in minutes,” she said. “So they go from not being able to do anything to being able to do everything.”

When the three day race event ac-

Local R.I.D.E. program addresses concerns of community, set to provide taxi vouchers to inmates Kim Harris Special to the Valley News The Riverside County Board of Supervisors voted to support a new program providing inmates released from the Southwest Detention a ride to their destination. The one-year pilot program provides taxi vouchers to inmates released between the hours of 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. if they are in need of transportation.

The voluntary program will ensure local residents their safety concerns are being addressed while keeping released inmates without feeling abandoned in an unfamiliar area of the county.

The pilot project, known as R.I.D.E. (Riverside Inmate Destination Endeavor) came about after residents near the jail expressed their concerns to Third District Supervisor Jeff Stone, said Verne Lauritzen, Stone’s chief of staff.

Lauritzen said the sheriff is required to release inmates when they are scheduled no matter what time of day or there becomes an issue of illegal detainment.

“Once an inmate has done his time or is up for release they have

to be released. They have to release them right away and sometimes it is seven, eight, nine or even 10 o’clock at night,” explained Lauritzen. “What’s been happening is some of these folks have been released and they don’t have anywhere to go so they wander around the neighborhood.”

According to Lauritzen, a group of concerned citizens approached Stone after noticing inmates remaining in their neighborhoods following release from the detention center.

“It’s caused some serious consternation with many of the neighbors and the folks in the community down there that these guys are wandering around the neighborhood all hours of the night. They don’t feel safe,” said Lauritzen who noted some inmates had pandered for assistance. “We had a bunch of neighbors come to us. I think there was 300 of them who had signed a petition, to ask us to do something about these releases.”

Stone then sat down with the sheriff and those involved with the jail and the executive office at the county and came up with the pilot program, Lauritzen said.

“The Supervisor is very cre-

MWD approves algae control storage facilities at Lake Mathews and Lake Skinner Joe Naiman Valley News Correspondent The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California board approved the final design of copper sulfate storage facilities to control algae blooms at Lake Mathews and Lake Skinner.

The MWD board’s May 13 action also appropriated $140,000 for those two projects and found the projects to be categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act review.

MWD is responding to the current drought by utilizing available storage, including drafting and refilling district reservoirs. As water levels fluctuate algae blooms can increase in both frequency and severity, especially at lower levels during warm summer months, and in recent years an increasing number of algae events have occurred at MWD reservoirs.

Factors which influence the severity of algae blooms include hydrology, available nutrients, sunlight, and temperature. The water treatment process might not be able to correct the taste and odor problems caused by the algae blooms.

The timing of specific algae blooms cannot be predicted.

Copper sulfate treatment can control the rapid growth of algae, and MWD applies copper sulfate to canals and reservoirs to control algae blooms. The rapid growth rate of algae often requires a treatment response within a matter of hours.

MWD currently stores copper sulfate in limited quantities at Lake Mathews and there is no copper sulfate storage at Lake Skinner.

The Lake Mathews facility, which is used to store all copper sulfate

BOAT from page A-8 District verify their boat is ready to race and that it will not face any problems when it is brought out onto the water.

Saturday and Sunday are the days where the racing actually occurs and students are put to the test, according to Press Officer Armando M. Acuna.

Acuna said the first day of the race consists of two “endurance” heats where students must race along a 90 minute circular course with their boats whereas the second day of the race consists of two “sprint” heats where students race their boats out to a set point on the lake. There are both “rookie” and “veteran” versions of each day’s competitions.

Many students competed in the race for the first time this year. That was the case for almost everyone on a team composed of two Hemetarea schools.

The combined West Valley High School and Tahquitz High School team was led by West Valley physics teacher Sean Mathews, who oversaw the construction process of the team’s solar boat and was there on the day they competed.

slated to be applied to MWD’s canals and reservoirs, is 40 years old and must be upgraded to meet current fire codes for storage of hazardous chemicals.

The new storage facilities will minimize delays in applying copper sulfate treatment. The distance from Lake Mathews to Lake Skinner, along with the limited quantities of copper sulfate available at Lake Mathews, make timely application a current challenge. Quicker treatment will reduce the quantity of chemicals needed for treatment.

The storage facilities will be prefabricated metal structures approximately 50 feet long, six feet wide, and nine feet high. The structures will have an integrated fire suppression system, spill control, and ventilation. The site improvements will also include water line connections, electrical tie-ins, minor grading, and paving.

All final design activities will be performed by MWD staff. The design activities include preparing drawings and specifications, refining the construction cost estimate and receiving bids, and obtaining permits from the Riverside County Fire Department.

The $140,000 appropriated covers $12,000 for field surveys, $81,000 for final design, and $33,000 for permitting, environmental documentation, and project management along with a $14,000 budgeted contingency amount. The estimated construction cost for the both facilities is between $600,000 and $700,000.

The final design is expected to be complete by November.

Many members of the team said they were excited to be competing in the event and had plans to return for next year if presented with the opportunity.

Some teams came from much farther away than Hemet. The Santana High School team traveled from La Puente in Los Angeles County to be a part of the competition.

The day represented the end of an experience where many bonds were formed, according to instructor LaDonna Guzman.

“It’s been an amazing experience,” Guzman said. “I cannot tell you how much it has united us.”

But this year it was another Los Angeles area high school that went for the win. Long Beach Poly High School from Los Angeles County took the first place award during the competition, tying with Canyon High School in Anaheim.

Now organizers will begin preparing for next year’s event and students will begin building boats once again this upcoming November.

ative with this stuff and he came up with a pilot program that said ‘let’s provide a little bit of resource here and run a test program for a year,’” he said. “Let’s provide taxi vouchers to these people who don’t have resources and provide them a way to get to wherever they need to go, whether it’s out of town or to a friend’s house so they don’t just linger around the immediate neighborhood there. That all came to pass, we got a $25,000 allocation

and we are going to institute that starting in June.”

Lauritzen said that the Board of Supervisors hope to get funding from the state for the program under the AB109 realignment program which moves inmates from state prisons to county jails.

“There has been funding, albeit way too little, in the AB109 realignment program,” said Lauritzen.

“They have had some degree of funding and we were hoping we

could take some funding from that. We would like to see some of that funding used as it certainly seems appropriate and we are going through the mechanisms. But to not cause delay in the implementing of the program, the county has provided $25,000 and we will see about getting reimbursed through the state.”

Real Estate

Are you a serious seller? Part 1 of 2

John Occhi, Mike Mason Special to the Valley News If you are looking to sell your Temecula/Murrieta home this year, chances are it will sell between now and August when over 60 percent of all homes sell every year in our market. The buyers are out there, looking for that great home that they can buy for a great price.

The issue between buyers and sellers is the price. The former wants to buy at below market price while the latter is looking to capitalize and sell for over fair market value. Buyers feel justified in submitting low-ball offers when homes are not prepared to sell which is why sellers must put in the time and effort to prepare their home for market to wow this year’s crop of buyers who will pay over list price if the house tells them to.

Here are six of 10 simple solutions (look for the remaining ones next week) for having your house talk positively to the buyers who preview your home: 1. De-personalize. The wall of family photos – gone. The pictures of the kids in the family room – gone. The religious artifacts and artwork with Bible or other verses – gone.

That’s right. Your home has to

be generic. No one wants to feel like they are stepping into another family’s life, rather, they want to start their own here. Sorry to say but every photo in the house that has a person in it should be packed up and gotten ready for their new home. The same goes for anything religious or ethnical. You don’t know who will be coming through or what their values or prejudices are.

2. Flaunt the positive. What was the one feature that made you fall in love with your home when you bought it? Maybe it’s a home improvement either inside or outside that gives it its personality. Figure it out and figure out how to accentuate it and show it off. The objective is to get the buyers to linger in that magical spot and let it do its work.

3. Neutralize. Similar to depersonalizing a home, neutralizing is the process that removes any evidence of any political thoughts.

Scrape decals off of windows that express any type of opinion. Remove magazines and books from sight that express any type of opinion. The same goes for any sort of artifact or décor in the home – what may be important to you may be outright offensive to someone else.

Along the same thought process is what you find cute and fun may be lame to someone else. If you’re including those new high-end stainless steel appliances in the sale, don’t have one of those cows that moo at you when the refrigerator door opens – not cool.

4. Start packing. It’s time to de-clutter and start packing up all

of those items that occupy space that the eye can see. Clear off that mantle, tables, counter tops and any other surface that holds your dust collectors. Sure, they are yours and you enjoy them, but they tend to make the home look smaller; if you already are starting with a small home it is critical to make it look as large as you can and not shrink it.

The same can be said for your closets. It doesn’t matter if you have a 200 sq. ft. walk-in closet or a 3’ reach-in closet – pack away your winter clothes. Give it room in there so that someone can imagine their clothes fitting. Ideally, you’ll have at least 2” between every hanger in there.

If you are going to store your packed belongings on site, find a place in the garage and make certain that every box is neatly stacked and organized. It will help you get out of there that much easier and the idea is to de-clutter and appear better organized – and boxes everywhere do no convey that message.

5. Silence is golden. When buyers are touring your home, the home should be silent. If you insist on having background music find something very generic and very instrumental – no vocals. Soft jazz or classical music (not classic rock) works best. You want to avoid anything that falls into a niche; i.e. country, pop, rock, hip hop, etc.

The television should never be left on, unless it is tuned into one of the all music cable channels, and again if that’s the case it should be soft jazz or classical music.

6. Smells good. Just like you want your home looking great, you want it to smell great as well. Not only should it be void of any unpleasant odors, it should reach out to buyers that they want to spend time here. My favorite scent in a home when I walk in has got to be

the aroma of fresh baked bread. Try using a bread machine. If there is time, bake it so it’s ready to be sliced as you’re walking out t h e d o o r.

Leave it on the counter with a note suggesting they help themselves.

Of course, you’ll want to leave out some soft butter and perhaps even a gourmet jam.

What a great place for any buyer to linger, in the kitchen devouring a slice of warm fresh baked bread – it doesn’t get any homier than that!

It’s not a bad idea to have plug-in air fresheners strategically placed throughout the home. Spend the extra buck and get the motion detector ones that release a fresh scent whenever anyone enters the room.

Strategically use different scents in different rooms. Try applecinnamon in the living room and vanilla in the kitchen, if you’re not baking. Each room with a unique scent just adds to the whole tour of the home experience – remember we have five senses and you want to appeal to them all.

Not smoking anywhere in the

house pretty much goes without saying in this day and age, doesn’t it? Enough said.

If you are currently listed with another agent, this is not a solicitation for your business. Actual results may vary, based on your individual circumstances.

If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store.

Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home.

You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options.

Proximity to family When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren.

That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting.

Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members.

Medical care Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities.

In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you’re likely to need.

their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling?

When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes.

If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing.

INLAND EMPIRE – The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement.

But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home.

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens The water saving garden previous articles, I’m going to quickly name a few of my top favorite plant varieties to include in a drought tolerant landscape.

For color I’d recommend Salvias and Penstemons also Anigazanthos flavidus. I love succulents such as Echeverias, aeoniums, Calliandras, yuccas, and the smaller agaves.

For ground covers, verbenas, iceplants, junipers (spreading) myoporum parvifolium, Creeping Thyme, and ‘Pigeon Point’ ceanothus, as well as the low growing sedums. Additionally, high on my list would be Leonotis

leonurus, rosemary, Dasylirion wheeleri, Cistus (rockrose) artemesias, and clumping grasses. Olive, Arbutus Marina, Grevillea, Chitalpa, Acacia, Pistache, and Robinia, all grown in the right place are beautiful and water saving trees.

Hopefully you learned something useful, and as always, I am available for consultations and design work.

it helps prevent water loss through evaporation, and personally, I think it just looks better. Your ground cover can consist of gravel, shredded or chipped bark, as well as living ground covers, many of which are drought tolerant. You might also consider the addition of weed cloth underneath your ground cover, this helps prevent weeds from sprouting, however, if you’re utilizing drip irrigation, you shouldn’t have too much trouble with weeds, only right after the rains possibly.

If your ground cover is at least 3” deep, which is my recommendation, you have less chance of weeds taking hold also.

I’ve removed sections of lawn in my own backyard and inserted raised beds for veggies and gravel paths in between them, a far better use of the yard in my opinion than growing grass. I’ve even removed an entire section of lawn to the left of my driveway, planted several roses there, all on drip and bark chip mulch around and they use far less water than the grass did, not to mention I don’t have to mow and I get beautiful flowers to look at and bring into the house as a bonus.

Hello fellow gardeners! Although I have discussed the drought tolerant garden previously, this is such an important issue here in Southern California that I wanted to continue on with this topic.

You may, or may not, be aware that once again we’re in a drought here in California. Governor Brown has asked for a voluntary 20 percent cutback in water usage and some areas, such as San Diego County, are already more stringent. I wanted to make you aware that you can currently receive $2 per square foot from the Metropolitan Water District (www.socalwatersmart.com) for removing lawn and replacing with drought tolerant plants. Here is the web site that tells you about many of the plants that should be utilized in your landscape www. iegardenfriendly.com/full-plantlist.asp.

For those of you living in the Fallbrook area, you can really get great rebates, the San Diego Water Authority is offering $1.50/sq.foot and will pay up to $3,000! Check

out that information at turfreplacement.watersmartsd.org. They are also offering rebates for water timers, as well as water saving “rotary type” sprinkler heads.

If you decide to go ahead, read the rules for the program carefully and make sure you get the approval first before starting. You can either draw up your own plan or hire a professional to do so.

A typical project that removes lawn might incorporate some boulders, plantings (drought tolerant of course), possibly permeable pavers, and/or some gravel pathways. In the front, possibly a small courtyard surrounded by either a low wall or drought tolerant shrubs.

Shady areas always require less water than full sun, so possibly a free standing pergola with grapes growing over it might add a nice touch to the backyard – or a tree that lets through some sun so that you can still plant underneath, such as an Acacia, Crape Myrtle, or Palo Verde. Any type of light filtering/ blocking canopy will help cut back on water use during the summer and is a good idea.

Remember, it is important to have ground cover over your soil –

The Movie Review: “Neighbors” Robert T. Nickerson Special to the Valley News One thing that I’m noticing more often now that I’m older is that a lot of teenagers like to keep their distance away from adults, which is a lot easier thanks to online social media trends.

At first I thought about blaming newer technology, but then I realized that as a teenager, I too wasn’t too fond about getting scolded at by adults, informing me that I’m being too loud or distant from them.

I think that any adult can agree that they’ve had some sort of rebellious phase where adults were the enemy.

Even though I was on good terms with my parents and teachers, I could think of several people that I felt were “just being old” when making my life miserable.

High school and young college kids develop this kind of attitude for one reason: fear. They know that their days as a kid are almost over and when they look at the most stern authority figures, they see the people that they don’t want to become.

Once you pass into adulthood, you are now aware that aging is inevitable and you will grow old one day. So as an adult, it’s up to you to make each day extraordinary, allowing for new memories, rather than living with nostalgia.

Neighbors is about the fine line between childhood and adulthood.

Matt Radner (played by Seth Rogen) and his wife Kelly (played

by Rose Byrne) have just settled into a new home along with their newborn baby girl, Stella. They’ve

settled into the idea of suburbia – a picket fence home surrounded by similar houses, a 9-to-5 job for Matt, and Kelly staying home to care for Stella. It may seem simple but there’s nothing wrong with simple. Their lives couldn’t be better, until they get new neighbors, a fraternity.

Delta-Psi moves in next door to Matt (we later find out that they accidentally burned downed their last home on campus) along with their leaders Teddy Sanders (played

by Zac Efron) and Pete Regazolli (played by Dave Franco).

At first, Matt and Kelly try to play it cool by telling them to keep the music down and not getting too rowdy. But a call to the police after a night of too much partying leads to a war between the two homes.

Matt tries to damage the frat’s plumbing, but a quick sale from the fraternity (I won’t give it away as the product is too funny) garners enough money to have everything repaired.

Matt and Rose try to stir up a dispute between Teddy and Pete and that leads to an interesting conversation about them leaving college soon.

Neighbors is the type of movie where you expect one character to be more interesting than the other but it turns out to be the other way around. I like Seth Rogen. I assumed he would be playing a more complex person that would have him figuring out that line between having fun and being responsible.

But while it’s not a bad performance, it’s a typical Seth Rogen performance we’ve seen him in be-

fore. The real star here is Zac Efron.

That’s right. The frat house party animal is a more interesting character than a new father. Zac Efron takes a real turn here, playing both a cocky arrogant college student that just wants to have fun but also a scared individual that has never planned ahead. With the way it’s written, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was purposely written so that the story can sum up the career of Efron, take a jab here and there on his personal life, and give him advice on what to do next.

Now as a story, Neighbors is a feud comedy that I know I’ve seen

before. But there are some differences here. In a 1980s college film, the frat house guys would have been the heroes, so it’s a nice change to see them as the villains.

But they are also fun villains to watch.

Matt and Rose may be the responsible ones here, but they’re not total kill joys. They too get some good lines and even have some fun at the parties. What I do have trouble with are some of the side characters. I hardly remember them and most of them come off as too mean-spirited. Plus, there’s a fight between Matt and Rose that could

have been cut as it goes nowhere.

There’s nothing wrong with having an 80-minute comedy.

I’ll give this four Delta-Psi letters out of five. It’s a fun movie to watch, though it could have been a greater story had they given Rogen more to do with his character rather than have him play himself.

I know the guy can act. Neighbors will make for plenty of late night screenings in both frat houses and living rooms.

Laura Rathburn photo Mormon church member Jim Perkins (right) talks to Patricia Green at the bake sale that was part of a fundraiser for her son Ryan Green, shown next to her. The fundraiser was held at Promise Lutheran Church and Preschool in Murrieta on May 17 to help pay the Green’s bills for their son’s cancer treatment.

Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News Temecula businessman Jason Moisa made Lake Elsinore resident Patricia Green cry tears of happiness and gratitude when he generously wrote a $6,000 check to pay some of the medical bills for her son Ryan Green’s cancer treatment.

Ryan Green, 17, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma last December and recovered from it in April after chemotherapy. He is currently undergoing radiation and his last treatment is on May 28. Months of medical treatment at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital in Loma Linda has amassed over $30,000 in bills for the Greens.

A fundraiser to help the family of five with bills was held on May 17

by Promise Lutheran Church and Preschool in Murrieta. The family attends the church and Patricia Green is a teacher at its school.

The seven-hour “Saving Ryan” fundraiser had about 70 volunteers and featured a car wash, rummage sale, bake sale, craft sale, silent auction, electronic recycling, and barbecue. It collected over $2,000 and more money is still pouring in so an official total isn’t available yet, according to Patricia Green.

Members from Murrieta’s three

Mormon churches helped spread news about the fundraiser and volunteered at it as part of a community outreach program said Dion Rasmussen, the churches’ director of public affairs.

Mormon church member and Murrieta chiropractor Tracy Holt had a flyer in his office about the fundraiser and Moisa saw it on May 14. He told Holt that he wanted to help the Greens because his mother also beat Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

He recently had a good investment return that he planned to spend on a vacation but felt it was more important to donate it to the family.

“If you have the means, you should pay it forward. I truly believe that,” said Moisa, who’s 26 and owns the successful marketing and public relations business JPM Innovations. “I would hope someone would help me out if I was in that situation.”

Moisa wrote a check for the fundraiser’s $6,000 goal amount and Hoyt delivered it in person to Patricia Green at her job.

Patricia Green, 46, recalled that she cried a lot of grateful tears after receiving the check.

She said Moisa has offered to pay the balance of the family’s bills not covered by the fundraiser or insurance.

Tracy Hoyt photo Lake Elsinore resident Patricia Green was all smiles when she received a $6,000 check from Temecula businessman Jason Moisa to pay some of the bills for her son Ryan Green’s cancer treatment.

“He told me to stop crying and thanking him,” Patricia Green said after meeting Moisa at the fundraiser last Saturday morning. She added that he has helped others, but is modest and doesn’t want a fuss made over it.

Moisa’s generosity has inspired Ryan Green to follow in his footsteps to aid others.

“I want to do what he does some day,” he said.

Ryan Green put his life on hold while he was battling cancer but he has plans now to attend college and go into marketing. He graduates from Elsinore High School on June 4.

During their brief meeting, Moisa was impressed with Ryan Green and believes he’s an extremely talented young man.

“He has a very bright future,” he said.

While Ryan Green was going through chemotherapy, he came up with an idea for an educational toy to help sick children cope with cancer treatment. Though he needs to raise capital to develop the toy, he’s confident that he can do it.

“I’m feeling great, wonderful,” he said, smiling. “I’m blessed.”

Parker Yocum of TVHS was crowned Mr. Temecula 2014.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer His video essay of “Why I want to be Mr. Temecula” sounded almost like a campaign speech that touted his passion for the city as well as naming places and activities to which locals could relate – like his memories of Little League baseball at Ronald Reagan Sports Park. But it was the “Angel On the Shoulder” skit that clinched the Mr. Temecula title for Parker Yocum of Temecula Valley High School. Yocum had also won the Mr. Golden Bear contest at his high school.

Each Temecula school has previously held their own contest for years – Mr. Puma, Mr. Wolfpack, and Mr. Golden Bear – but this was the first year for the Mr. Temecula contest, according to Don Skaggs, activities director at Great Oak High School.

“I first saw the idea elsewhere and approached the other two schools. We are only charging five dollars, but all the money goes to Dollars for Scholars,” Skaggs said.

The 700-seat theatre was filled to watch the top four contestants from each school vie for the title of Mr. Temecula.

Each school’s individual event leading up to this contest was different. At Chaparral, the contestants were selected to be in the top four with specific category winners –formal wear, trivia, bathing suit, best overall – via a text to vote.

Over 1,100 attended their show. Jonah Heath was selected Mr Puma; Emmet Keith-Jones, Zach Hunter and Isaiah Johnson were specific category winners.

At Temecula Valley, the eight contestants were narrowed down to the top four. Those four then each answered an interview question and faced a “Spin the Wheel” challenge. Yocum was selected Mr. Golden Bear; Jomaru “JD” Dayrit, Mitchell Heires and Christian Campbell-Barrier also represented TVHS. At Great Oak, 1,500 people watched the 24 contestants participate in formalwear, talent, and interviews. Voting was also via text-to-vote. Matt Hobby aka “Dr. Phil” was named Mr. Wolfpack; Brad Wegman, Chris Carson and Jason Cruz rounded out the Great Oak contingent.

The pageant featured a formal wear, talent and interview portion as well as group dance perfor-

mances by each school. Judges for the event were Temecula Mayor Maryann Edwards; auctioneer and Charity for Charity representative Gig Comella; Temecula Dance Company Artistic Director Jimmy Peters; and Event Producer Gillian Larson, a former contestant on “Survivor: Gabon” in 2008.

Masters of Ceremony for the event were Maritza Massol (TVHS), Jade Kurtz and Mackenzie Bowlin (Chaparral), and Sydney Carper (Great Oak).

The evening began with an all-

group dance from all three schools, followed by video introductions of the contestants. The formal wear portion showed creativity as Emmet Keith-Jones and his mother circled the stage on a “bicycle made for two.”

The talent portion included serious to funny entries with singing, dancing, rap, jump rope, Maori Haka dance, ballet parody, skits and a video production of school stereotypes.

Yocum’s skit was about moral dilemmas and being guided by

a personal angel, but the visual comedy of the 215-pound wrestler in tights, tutu, and wings climbing up and down to get on the shoulder of his assigned person rocked the theatre with hilarity.

After the crowning ceremony by Miss Temecula, Mayor Maryann Edwards informed Yocum that she already had a full calendar of events scheduled for him.

Local company develops small wind turbine for home and commercial use Kim Harris Special to the Valley News A new wind turbine developed in the Temecula Valley could save homeowners hundreds to thousands of dollars annually in energy costs, according to Dan Bechtel, President and COO of Universal Wind Turbine, LLC. Bechtel said the company has designed and built a compact Wind Turbine Generation System (WTGS) that can produce more than enough energy to power the average home.

“We are still in the development stage but we are looking at building five kilowatts per hour system,” Bechtel said. “The average home consumes between two and a half to three and a half kilowatts per hour so one turbine can generate enough energy to run a house every hour.”

Currently, the company is in the process of working with Riverside County and University of California, Riverside for the modeling and prototype of the WTGS. “We have been in contact with UC Riverside through their engineering department and they are very interested in the wind turbine,” Bechtel said. “We want to use their senior class who has a competition with 16 other colleges for wind turbine development. My goal is to bring it to a grass roots level. That is why I wanted to go through a university.”

The WTGS is much smaller than the turbines that are commonly seen dotting the landscape throughout Riverside County’s rural areas. It was invented by Paul Moretto, CEO of Universal Wind Turbine LLC. Moretto also holds the patent for the 4-foot high turbine which is intended for individual home and commercial application.

Dan Bechtel, President and COO of Universal Wind Turbine, LLC., recently developed a wind turbine.

“The ones you see in Palm Springs are humongous, the blades are 110 feet long,” Bechtel said.

“What we have is innovative because it is free standing and small.

We’d like to have it on the roof of a house or a commercial building.”

One of the goals of the project is to utilize as many recyclable materials as possible, Bechtel said.

Providing financial literacy to the unbanked Jason Alderman Special to the Valley News In today’s world of internet banking, smartphone shopping apps and web-based access to investment accounts, it’s easy to forget that billions of people around the world – including millions in our own country – lag far behind when it comes to accessing even the most rudimentary financial management tools.

Indeed, according to the World Bank: *Approximately 2.5 billion adults worldwide don’t have a formal banking account. *In developing economies, only 41 percent of adults have bank accounts (compared to nearly 90 percent in high-income countries). *In developing countries, the wealthiest 20 percent are more than twice as likely to have

an account than the lowest 20 percent. *There’s a gender inequality as well: 46 percent of men in poorer countries have a formal account, while only 37 percent of women do.

These statistics helped form the backdrop for the eighth annual Financial Literacy and Education Summit hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago and Visa Inc. Renowned U.S. and international financial experts led lively discussions around the theme, “Providing Financial Literacy Resources to the Unbanked and Underbanked.” Approximately 1,500 participants in 50 countries attended or watched the live online telecast.

Central to the discussions was the underlying question: “Is financial education important for a segment of the population that

is largely excluded from formal financial services?”

According to Keynote Speaker Bill Sheedy, EVP, Corporate Strategy, M&A and Government Relations, Visa, and the other panelists, the answer is an unqualified “yes.”

Along with identifying numerous challenges unbanked and underbanked people face, panelists also cited successful financial education efforts they’ve observed: * Paula A. Cox, Former Premier and Minister of Finance, Bermuda, described a successful program in Bermuda where government representatives took small business development workshops to construction workers at their worksites. * Jennifer Tescher, President & CEO, Center for Financial Services Innovation, cited her organization’s funding to help

a financial coaching program become more cost-effective by allowing remote sessions and data transfer between clients and volunteer coaches. * Leora Klaper, Lead Economist, Finance and Private Sector Research Team of the Development Research Group, World Bank, mentioned a World Bank project in Indonesia with migrant workers who frequently send money to family members.

Bottom line: Tremendous tech-

nological advances are being made around personal financial management. Our challenge is to find ways to bring those tools – and basic financial services – to vast populations of underserved individuals.

A parallel challenge is to continuing developing and distributing financial education materials that enable children and adults to understand how to manage their money.

Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

Items to exclude from your resume INLAND EMPIRE – Choosing what to include and exclude from your resume can be difficult, especially for applicants without extensive work histories. Professionals with significant experience likely have enough to fill up a resume, but younger professionals often fret about how to fill up their resumes despite limited work histories. Any relevant professional experience, be it an internship or volunteering history, is safe to include on a resume.

But applicants should keep the following items off their resumes as they hunt for their next jobs.

Photos: Photos should be kept off resumes, as personal photos have nothing to do with a person’s qualifications. Even job seekers applying for photography positions won’t want to put photos on their resumes. Such materials should be included in a portfolio but never on a resume.

Hobbies and/or personal interests: It can be tempting for applicants with limited work histories to list their hobbies and interests, but in many cases such information is irrelevant and can frustrate hiring managers who want to find relevant qualifications on a resume as quickly as possible. If a resume is bogged down with information about an applicant’s hobbies and interests, then a hiring manager is likely to grow impatient and move on to the next applicant. Unless a hobby is especially relevant to a position, it should not be included on a resume.

Irrelevant past experience: Prior experience that is irrelevant to the position you’re applying for should be kept off your resume.

For example, a high school job as a grocery clerk likely has little

relevance when applying for an entry level finance position. It’s important to remember when applying for entry level positions that few entry level candidates will have extensive employment histories, so don’t feel bad if your resume is less than meaty.

Salary expectations: Some job postings will ask that you list salary requirements. This can be a delicate topic, as no one wants to exclude themselves by asking for too much money or appear desperate by asking for too little.

A good approach when asked for salary requirements is simply to write, “Salary negotiable” somewhere on your resume. Never include salary requirements unless a job listing specifically requests such information.

Personal information: Personal information, including marital status, sexual orientation, whether or not you have children and your religious beliefs should always be kept off a resume. Such information is irrelevant, and it’s illegal for companies to consider such information during the hiring process.

Inappropriate email address: Many people have a playful email address that reflects a nickname friends and family can identify with. Such addresses are fine when communicating with family and friends, but use a more professional email address when applying for jobs. The address can include your name, such as jsmith@fakeemail.com or simply your initials followed by the domain name of your email server.

Fair or unfair, an unprofessional email address on a resume may give prospective employers the impression that applicants are immature.

Great Oak races ahead into track & field CIF-SS finals Wolfpack and Broncos battle for Div 1 titles Paul Bandong Staff Writer Twenty-four Great Oak Track & Field athletes qualified for the 2014 CIF Southern Section-Ford Track & Field Finals, presented

by Farmers. The meet will be held May 24 at Cerritos College in Norwalk. Only the top nine in each field event and the heat winners and next fastest (total of nine) qualifiers advance.

Two weeks ago, the Wolfpack boys won the Southwestern League Championship ending the four-year streak held by host school Vista Murrieta. Dustin Wert won the pole vault and the boys’ team took the top five spots to lock in the title.

Seth Knowlton broke the sophomore record in the shot put, win-

ning both the shot and the discus events. Nick Doan was a doublewinner in the 1600 and 3200m runs. Nick Fisher won the long jump and qualified for CIF in the triple jump, 100m dash and the 4 x 100m relay. The boys’ 4x100m team recorded a 41.81 second win. The Great Oak distance team ran away with 15 of the 18 CIF spots.

The Great Oak girls team took second to a strong Vista Murrieta team. The Wolfpack’s Ciynamon Stevenson set a new meet record with a winning triple jump of 39’ 4”. Destiny Collins set new meet records, winning the 1600m and 3200m runs. Audrey Wallis won the 800m.

This past weekend at CIF Prelims held at Trabuco Hills High School, Great Oak qualified 16 athletes in

21 events and both relays. Nick Fisher (LJ, TJ, 100m, 4x100m) and Damion Marshall (200m, 400m, 4 x 200m, 4x400m) qualified in four events each, the first time in school history that two athletes have accomplished this. Fisher ran a 10.97 in the 100m dash; jumped 22-09.50 in the long jump and 45-08.25 in the triple jump. Marshall ran 21.82 in the 200m and 48.96 in the 400m.

Vista Murrieta qualified ten athletes in fourteen events and both relays.

Knowlton’s records of 163’ (discus) and 49’ 6.5” (shot) were new sophomore records for Great Oak. Shane Atkinson and Andrew Lottig (both at 15-0’) qualified in the pole vault; Ryan Polakiewicz is first alternate. Doan qualified in the 1600m (2nd, 4:15.77) and 3200m (3rd, 9:17). Solomon Foun-

tain set a new freshman record of 4:21.52 (1600m), making him the top-ranked freshman in California.

Isaac Cortez won the 800m (1:55).

The 4x100m relay team cruised in at 41.61 seconds.

For the Wolfpack girls’ team, eight athletes qualified in 14 events and both relays. Destiny Collins (4:52 and 10:36) and Haley Dorris (4:57 and 10:42) were 1 and 2 in the 1600m and 3200m runs. Ashley Helbig finished third at 5:01 in the shorter race; freshman Kiyena Beatty is now the #2 freshman in the state with a 10:53 third place finish in the longer race. Great Oak runners won all three heats. Stevenson qualified for CIF Finals in the triple jump (38’ 4.75”). Allie Portis’ new school record (17’ 8.5”) in the long jump qualified her for CIF Finals. The girls 4 x 400m team

qualified with a 3:54.43 time.

Also qualifying for CIF Finals on relay teams are: Mya Marshall, Alyssa Bryant, Ally Talpash, Maika Simmons, Taylor Lawson, Jordan Lucas, Brandon Presley, James Nool, LaQuan Williams, and Emica Norris.

Vista Murrieta qualified 13 girls in 21 events and both relays.

Michelle Norman and Sarah Dunaway qualified in three individual events. Norman ran 11.96 in the 100m; she jumped 19-05.25 in the long jump and 39-01.50 in the triple jump to win both events.

Dunaway ran 15.27 in the 100m hurdles and qualified on two relay teams.

The CIF Masters Meet to determine state meet qualifiers will be held May 30, also at Cerritos College in Norwalk.

Powder Puff football Sugar Bowl rescheduled for May 30 Mayor’s Cup to be awarded to city champion Paul Bandong Staff Writer

will be held at Great Oak High School stadium on Friday, May 30:

Last week’s nine fires in San Diego affected air quality in Temecula prompting the cancellation of outdoor activities throughout the area last Friday, including the Sugar Bowl Powder Puff Football games between Chaparral, Great Oak and Temecula Valley. The games – and first-ever City Championship – have been rescheduled.

This year’s Sugar Bowl games

4:00 pm Great Oak vs Chaparral 5:15 pm Temecula Valley vs Chaparral 6:30 pm Great Oak vs Temecula Valley Please note: times are a half-hour earlier than previously scheduled on May 16. Ticket prices are $3 for students and $5 for general

admission.

This year’s games are sponsored

by Nutrishop Temecula and Valley News Sports.

The teams have been preparing for weeks, including school pride games between seniors and juniors teams. Chaparral seniors defeated the juniors team 12-6 in an exciting double overtime game, scoring on a pass play to Lorena Ruiz.

Temecula Valley seniors defeated their juniors 14-8 behind the play of quarterback Sam Capuzzi who

connected on an 18-yard pass to Lorena Regalado; Capuzzi also ran for another score on a 44-yd QB keeper.

Great Oak’s seniors found themselves in a tough defensive battle with their juniors, but ended up on the short end of the 6-0 score when Rachel Smith turned a short screen pass into a 70-yard score.

There will be lots of exciting football action as well as creative outfits and cheer routines from each

school’s “manleaders.”

Come on out to support the girls and come see who gets the Mayor’s Cup for the very first Powder Puff Football Temecula City Championship.

“I am really looking forward to seeing the girls play and compete,” said Temecula Mayor Mary Ann Edwards. “I am honored to be part of this fun event that brings the community together. We look forward to doing this every year.”

22 locals compete in state mountain bike competition Paul Bandong Staff Writer Mountain bike racing has been exploding across the nation and this year over 700 riders from 98 schools were represented at the California State Mountain Bike Championships held at Laguna Seca on May 11, 2014. Southern California was represented by 285 competitors.

Matt Gunnell, who started the Southern California League in 2008, noted that those numbers are indicative of the popular growth of the sport “with the emergence of new leagues in seven states since 2013 . . . average participation is up about 25%.”

Division 1 or 2 has nothing to do with the strength of the riders, but the size of the teams. Division 1 is 12 or more riders; Division 2 is eleven or fewer. Due to the large numbers of boy racers, they race on different courses. The differing times in division races reflect the different courses.

Five local teams sent twenty-two riders. Temecula Valley Composite is made up of riders from Rancho Christian and Linfield, schools that do not yet have an official school team. Murrieta Valley, Murrieta Mesa, Great Oak and Temescal Canyon also fielded teams that went to the state competition.

“We had 16 qualify for state and 12 competed,” said Rod Gisi, coach of the Great Oak team, “We finished in sixth place as a team at

So Cal Championships without any Varsity riders on the team.” The distinction is an important one since Varsity riders score with higher point values. Great Oak fielded 24 on their roster, the fourth largest team in the league in only their second year. They were the only So Cal team with two individual champions: Evander Hughes (JV Boys D1) and Trevor McCutcheon (Freshman D1). Great Oak had three females on the team this year; Amada Gisi qualified for state.

McCutcheon led a contingent of six Great Oak boys in the State Frosh Division race, finishing fifth.

Kahla Chitraroff from Murrieta Mesa finished third in the Frosh Boys Division 2 race; teammate Jordan Aguilar finished tenth.

“We are very much looking forward to next season and are continuing to recruit riders at all levels,” said Gisi, “The unique aspect of our sport is there are no bench athletes. Everyone that wants to compete and race is able to.”

Sports HS baseball: Maxpreps ranks Southwestern Wolfpack crowned 2014 League as most competitive Southwestern League league in the country champs Four teams move on to play in the CIF-SS Ford Rout Rams 10-0 in final game of season

to the CIF SS Division 2 Playoffs.

Junior Mitch Hayes led the Wolfpack offensive attack against the Rams, driving in two runs and scoring another. Hunter Arriaga scored twice and drove in a run while Eli Lingos tripled, scored and knocked in a run.

The Rams will lick their wounds and start preparing for 2015. Murrieta Mesa fielded a very young team this season and will lose only 3 seniors to graduation. Coach Frank Castillion has high hopes for the emerging Ram baseball program’s future. They finished 4-12 in league.

The Wolfpack was ranked number one in the latest CIF SS Division 2 Polls. Vista Murrieta was number three and Temecula Valley ninth. This is a very tough league and Great Oak rose to the top and looks to go deep into the playoffs.

The Wolfpack pounced quickly in the final game of the regular season as they overwhelmed Murrieta Mesa 10-0 last Thursday afternoon, May 15 in the regular season finale.

Great Oak starting pitcher Brad Wegman scattered five hits over five innings as he combined with reliever Eli Lingos to shut out the Rams.

Great Oak wasted no time as they scored five runs in their first at bat and jumped out to a huge 5-0 lead.

The Wolfpack never looked back.

Great Oak had another big inning in the fourth as they scored four more times against the listless Rams.

They added another insurance run in the sixth as the Wolfpack captured the Southwestern League title and earned an automatic berth

JP Raineri, Charles Mckee Sports Writers Anyone involved in high school baseball in Southern California knows that the Southwestern League is tough. The league is packed with talent and has consistently dominated the CIF-SS Division 2 polls this season, and now, it’s official. Maxpreps has named the Southwestern League as the toughest, most competitive league in the nation.

League champion Great Oak is currently ranked number one in the CIF-SS Division 2 polls. The Wolfpack is also number one in MaxPreps’ national computer rankings. Vista Murrieta came in second in the league and finished the season number three in the CIF polls.

Season frontrunner Temecula Valley placed third in the league this year. The Golden Bears ranked ninth in the CIF polls at the end of the regular season and were the

Boras Classic Southern Champions. Temecula Valley was also the Division 2 runner up in 2013.

Murrieta Valley, Chaparral and Murrieta Mesa round out the rest of the Southwestern League. All three programs are tough, talented and explosive.

The top 10 competitive leagues in the country as ranked by Maxpreps are: 1. Southwestern - California 2. 5A District 5 - Texas 3. 5A District 14 - Texas 4. 5A District 4 - Texas 5. Metro Catholic - Missouri 6. Division I Section 2 - Arizona 7. Tri-Rivers - California 8. 8A District 16 - Florida 9. East Bay - California 10.

Sports Menifee holds Relay for Life, hopes to raise $65,000

Half-marathon race celebrates three consecutive years

This year’s theme of the event was the circus.

Danielle Briana photo

Miss Menifee and her court were at the half-marathon in Menifee on Saturday, May 17 to present the winners with medals and trophies.

Danielle Briana Special to the Valley News Over 200 runners attended the third annual Menifee Half-Marathon on Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 a.m. There was some concern over the air quality due to the recent fires but they were given the approval by race coordinator Bob Duistermars because there was a decrease in winds.

Mayor Scott Mann blew the horn, starting the 13.1 mile race in front of Mt. San Jacinto Community College. The runners then headed south on Antelope Road then to Garbani to Briggs then Holland to Menifee Road and back on Antelope finishing back at MSJC. Throughout the course volunteers worked water stations giving support, help, and hydration to the competitors of the marathon.

Runners of all ages took part in both the half-marathon and the 5K race. Racers included Eduardo Ayala, a 44-year-old member of

the Air Force, and his 6-year-old German Shepherd mix dog, Max. When Ayala and Max finished the race, Max received a medal, as well as the other runners. 15-yearold Kyle Davis was the overall winner of the companion 5K race with the time of 16:34; the top female finisher in the 5K was 36-year-old Chauntai Marchal with a time of 22:48.

The overall winner of the halfmarathon was 44-year-old Thomas Beyer with a finished time of 1:25:31, Timothy Christoni clocked in at 1:29:33. The top female finisher was 32-year-old Stephanie Bangora, who placed ninth overall, with a time of 1:42:36.

An estimated $12,000 - $14,000 was raised through registration fees that will benefit local youth, family, and community programs.

Hundreds of people participated in the Relay For Life-Menifee at Paloma Valley High School on Saturday, May 17.

Danielle Briana Special to the Valley News Hundreds of people participated in the Relay For Life-Menifee at Paloma Valley High School on Saturday, May 17. Each year, more than four million people in over 20 countries raise funds and awareness to save lives from cancer through the Relay For Life movement.

In May 1985, Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours in Washington, raising $27,000 to help the American Cancer Society to fight cancer. A year later, 340 supporters joined the overnight event and the Relay For Life movement has grown into a worldwide

phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion to fight cancer.

This year’s theme of the event was the circus. Every team that participated in the event had carnival games at their table to help raise money for the cause; there were also entertainment and raffles throughout the day.

At 9 p.m., lights went out and the Luminaria ceremony began that honored survivors and those that have lost their battle with cancer.

During the ceremony, Erin Lozano, Kelli Biello, and Bregiver Guest Speaker, Twanish “Tee” Wilson shared their touching stories while pictures of the deceased and surviv-

At midnight “Midnight Madness” began where different games and activities were available to play. At 5 a.m. there was a rooster calling contest and at 7 a.m. there was breakfast served (courtesy of RE/MAX Real Estate). The closing ceremony and final lap began at 9 a.m. Sunday morning.

Relay For Life-Menifee officials hope to raise $65,000 this year.

Deposits form around the transmission’s many moving parts. As a result, valves stick and gears slip or are sluggish and chatter as they shift.

SOLUTION: Rather than just draining the contaminated flued found in the bottom of the pan, special equipment clean the entire transmission and its torque converter, while new fluid and premium conditioner are added. One of the hardest working parts of your vehicle will shift smoothly and effortlessly for many more trouble-free miles.

Patio clean-up for seasonal entertaining

Cash’d Out, San Diego based tribute band, comes to Temecula June 6 and 7

Courtesy photo

Cash’d Out is a Johnny Cash tribute band.

The spring season is the time to refresh the patio by cleaning and updating furniture.

Outdoor entertaining is a primary component of the warmweather season. Individuals flock to their backyard patios and decks to barbecue or simply soak up a little sun.

Over the course of the fall and winter your patio may have experienced some wear and tear.

Or if the patio is several years old, it may need some maintenance to improve its appearance for the new season. Maintenance often depends on the material used.

Before starting, figure out what your patio needs and stock up on the supplies. Many patios are poured concrete, and a simple pressure-washing could be all that’s needed to revive the look.

Pressure washers can be rented or purchased. If there are cracks or chips in the patio, some minor patchwork may be able to fix unsightly problems. There are fast-dry patching kits.

If the patio is especially damaged, it may be in your best interest to simply replace the

may want to price out masons.

These contractors could have relationships with suppliers of concrete and patio pavers, which could save on the cost of materials for the job. Plus you will have the benefit of knowing the work was done correctly.

Now is also the time to wash the cushions to your patio set to enhance your patio decor. Do so on a sunny, warm day to allow the cushions to dry adequately so they won’t develop mildew or mold staining and odor.

If the cushions look dated or beyond repair, this season could be a good time to head to the store and purchase a new set. Nothing refreshes a patio more than bright colors and attractive accessories.

While new planters filled with flowers could do the trick, coordinate patio colors with new upholstery for outdoor furniture, throw pillows and a new patio umbrella to complete the look.

once raised them on the music of Johnny Cash.

Cash’d Out has over 150 of Johnny Cash’s songs in their repertoire, and can deliver up to four hours of non-stop entertainment, including the June Carter Cash duets brought back to fame in the Oscar winning film, Walk the Line.

The band’s live shows respectfully reference the late, great Man in Black’s Sun Records and early Columbia era sound, combined with the energy of the classic multiplatinum live recordings from Folsom Prison and San Quentin.

The group’s genuine love (and authentic recreation) of Johnny Cash’s music and its universal appeal fans of all ages and of virtually all musical genres makes each Cash’d Out show a must-see event.

Cash’d Out will be performing in Temecula both June 6 and 7 at the soon to open Uptown Tavern.

The show starts at 9 pm and you are encouraged to come early as it is a first come, first served event.

There is no cover charge.

Uptown Tavern is located at 27911 Jefferson Avenue in Temecula. For more information visit www.uptowntaverntemecula.com.

patio or cover it with a different material, like wood decking.

Some patios are constructed from paving stones. Pavers are usually installed atop a thin layer of sand and then more sand is brushed into the seams between the pavers to set them in place.

Over time, the sand may become dislodged causing the pavers to wobble or even grow uneven.

Taking the time to brush new sand over a paver patio can keep the stones stable. Because pavers are not a solid surface, weeds can grow in between the stones.

Hand weeding and the application of a weed-killing product can help with keeping weeds at bay and from being unsightly.

This year, maybe it’s not about refreshing the patio but installing one instead. Although many homeowners choose to make the installation of a patio a do-it-yourself project with fine results, if you have a large yard or an intricate design, you

Cash’d Out channels Johnny Cash in about as close a manner to the real thing as it gets.

How can you tell?

Well, beyond critics having anointed Cash’d Out (Douglas Benson on vocals, Kevin Manuel on guitar, Ryan Thomas on bass and George Bernardo on drums) the “next best thing to Johnny Cash,” and the group having won four San Diego Music Awards for Best Tribute Band, the real proof lies in what members of Cash’s inner circle have said.

“Cindy Cash came to a show, we made her cry and she gave me a necklace with Johnny’s hair in a glass locket,” explains front man and Cash impersonator Douglas Benson. Benson added that Cash producer Lou Robin has also been to several Cash’d Out shows, and claimed that if he closes his eyes it was like “going back in time.”

Once the only tribute band endorsed by the official Johnny Cash web page, JohnnyCash.com, Cash’d Out has played to over 1.2 million fans since forming in 2005. And those fans continually tell the group how grateful they are that Cash’d Out continues to bring back memories of loved ones who

One of the most popular items on the healthy menu is “The Mom Omelet,” according to Babb.

The Border Benedict, part of “South of The Border Menu,” consists of poached eggs and tender carne asada over crispy corn cakes.

People with gluten sensitivities are also a consideration at Broken Yolk Café. Babb said the restaurant is always ready to whip up glutenfree pancakes, waffles, sandwiches and more.

level of sweetness which contrasts itself with the spicy zing of the green poblano sauce that gets draped over the whole dish.

Complex in its combination of sweet and savory, the dish is a different take on a traditional breakfast item.

The restaurant owner said that one of the things he’s particularly proud of is his restaurant’s commitment to serving up foods with ingredients that are fresh and never frozen.

That’s been the common thread whether menu items are on the “Lighter Side,” or are one of many traditional breakfast dishes that are marked by big portions. Almost every ingredient comes fresh and ready to cook with.

The bread used for sandwiches is baked fresh that day and vegetables and fruits arrive to the restaurant not long after they’ve been picked.

But perhaps one of the biggest components to the restaurant is the positive environment it offers for families and businesses, Babb said.

Time and time again businesses and organizations from the local area arrive to the restaurant’s meeting room to get work done and they’re comforted by both the environment and the food that’s offered to them.

Babb said the trick to keeping businesses and organizations satisfied is having menu items that are tasty yet mess-free. It’s nice to have something simple and easy to eat when conducting business, he said.

And of course families flock to the restaurant for the wholesome environment it provides.

Babb described it as being fine dining without being too upscale. He said he thinks that people appreciate the restaurant’s commitment to its roots as a place where families can get together.

Health

Explore Medicare before you turn 65 Jason Alderman Special to the Valley News Each day, approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 – and thereby become eligible for Medicare.

But becoming eligible for and actually enrolling in Medicare are two very different things. In fact, if you miss the initial window to sign up for certain parts of Medicare and later decide to enroll, you could wind up paying significantly higher premiums for the rest of your life.

If you’re approaching 65, get familiar with these Medicare basics now.

Medicare provides benefits to people age 65 and older (and those under 65 with certain disabilities or end-stage renal disease). For most people, the initial enrollment period is the seven-month period that begins three months before the month they turn 65. If you miss that window, you may enroll between January 1 and March 31 each year, although your coverage won’t begin until July 1.

Medicare offers several plans and coverage options, including: * Medicare Part A helps cover inpatient hospital, skilled nursing facility and hospice services, as well as home health care. Most people pay no monthly premium for Part A, provided they or their

spouse have paid FICA taxes for at least 40 calendar quarters. * Medicare Part B helps cover medically necessary doctor’s services, outpatient care, durable medical equipment and many preventive services. It’s optional and has a monthly premium. For most people there’s a $147 yearly deductible; after that’s met, you’ll be responsible for 20 percent of the Medicare-approved amount of the service, provided the doctor or other provider accepts Medicare. * Medicare Part C (Advantage) plans are offered by Medicareapproved private insurers as alternatives to Original Medicare Parts A and B. Most cover prescription drugs and some include additional benefits such as dental and vision coverage for an extra cost. You’re usually required to use the plan’s doctor, hospital and pharmacy provider network, which may be more restrictive than providers you can access through Parts A and B. * Medicare Part D helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. It’s optional and carries a monthly premium. These privately run plans vary widely in terms of cost, copayments and deductibles and medications covered. If you’re enrolled in a Part C plan that includes drug coverage, you don’t need Part D. * Many people purchase ad-

ditional Medigap (or Medicare Supplemental) insurance, which is offered by private insurers and helps pay for many items not covered by Medicare. Medigap plans can vary widely in terms of cost, covered benefits and states participating so compare your options carefully.

Keep in mind that for all Medicare plans, deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance may apply, depending on the service provided.

With Parts B and D, you’ll often face sizeable penalties if you don’t enroll when first becoming eligible

– Part B premiums could increase 10 percent for each 12-month period you were eligible but didn’t sign up (the Part D penalty is more complicated); however, if you’re currently covered by an employer’s plan you can enroll later without penalty.

Terms of Advantage and Part D plans such as premiums, copayments and covered medications can change from year to year, so carefully review enrollment materials from your current plans to make sure they still match your needs.

INLAND EMPIRE – With local temperatures reaching into the 90s and above recently, county health officials are reminding the public to take precautions to avoid heatrelated illnesses.

“Serious health problems can result from exposure to high temperatures, even if exposed for short periods,” said Wilma Wooten,

M.D., M.P.H., county public health officer. “Working or doing any type of physical activity outside on a hot day, spending too much time in the sun, or staying too long in an overheated place can lead to heat-related illnesses, including heat stroke, exhaustion, and cramps.”

To avoid heat-related problems,

If someone shows these signs, call 9-1-1 immediately and begin cooling the individual by: *Moving them to a shaded area *Spraying with cool water and fanning them *Placing them in a cool shower if they are alert *Monitoring the body temperature, and continue cooling efforts *Do not give the victim fluids to drink “Heat-related illness occurs when a person’s body temperature control system is overloaded,” Wooten added. “When this happens, the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails and the body is unable to cool down.”

MSJC Foundation Scholarship Breakfast awards more than $200,000 SAN JACINTO – The Mt. San Jacinto College Foundation awarded 101 MSJC students with scholarships totaling $115,649 during its annual Student Scholarship Awards Breakfast on Thursday, May 15 at the Soboba Country Club in San Jacinto.

During the ceremony, three MSJC students received the prestigious Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship.

Irvin Calderon of Perris, Aaron Hansen of Sun City, and Christopher Blake Leeper of Wildomar will transfer to four-year universities thanks to the $30,000-a-year renewable scholarship.

David Pese of Perris earned a $5,000 award from the SOCO Institute for the restaurant business plan he pitched during The Competition. It was the first Shark Tank-style event organized by the MSJC Business Department to help student entrepreneurs get realworld experience in business plan writing and presentation.

The addition of the Jack Kent Scholarship brought the total award amount handed out during the scholarship breakfast to $205,649.

Maureen Njuguna, the event’s student speaker, received the Temecula Valley AAUW, Coca Cola, Guistwhite, and Edison International Scholar Program scholarships. She told the audience how she arrived in the U.S. in 2010 and began attending MJSC. She is planning on transferring to a four-year university this fall.

Home & Garden

Palms provide feel of the tropics to the Valley INLAND EMPIRE – Palm trees survive well in the Valley and can be found lining majestic driveways as well as providing a tropical, ornamental touch to a front or back yard landscape.

One of the greatest benefits of a palm tree is that it does not lose it leaves all at once and can provide instant beautification to just about any spot in a landscape. Most importantly, palm trees are low maintenance plants. They run a close second to conifers in the level of attention they require beyond the basics. And, to top it off, they’re fairly easy to plant, too.

Let there be light All plants have preferences when it comes to light. Some like full sun, while others prefer shade. Palm trees are no different. It’s important to research the type of palm one is planting; otherwise, the results may be less than satisfactory. Fortunately, there are more varieties of palms than one can shake a frond at – they vary in size from small (10 to 20 feet for a Windmill Palm) to very large (the 50 foot tall, aptlynamed Queen Palm).

Planting a shade-loving palm in full sun produces a burnt and eventually dead tree; while planting a sun-loving palm in the shade gives you a weaker tree with a thicker trunk and stretched-out leaves.

The highs and lows of temperature Another concern people have with the tropical-appearing palm is temperature. Actually, palm trees grow in almost all climate zones, depending on the type of palm. As with light, good research into temperature needs – or better yet, asking an expert – is crucial to having a healthy, happy palm tree.

Soil Most palms fare pretty well in both soil types, acid or alkaline.

There are a few that are more particular in their needs. The Queen Palm, for instance, prefers acidic soil. However, with the amazing variety from which to choose, it should be no problem selecting the perfect tree one’s soil type.

One piece of advice for all palms: the soil must have good drainage.

Using a soil amendment such as Kellogg® Palm and Cactus Mix when planting in pots or mix with the native soil when planting the ground will help give the new palms good drainage.

Water Providing palms with the right amount of moisture keeps them

healthy and happy. Palms are somewhat picky about moisture levels; some prefer being watered once a week, while others like water five times a week. Variety may be the spice of life, but to be sure palms thrive, group them according to moisture preference. Otherwise, some will flourish and other will fail.

Setting down roots Once all the work of choosing the right palms for the soil and lighting is done, it’s time to plant. This can be delicate work, so caution is appropriate. The palms heart – the area from which the leaves grow – is very sensitive to being handled.

If it cracks or shatters, the palm tree may die, or at best, be stunted in growth. Likewise, the root ball requires careful handling. It’s best to cut the container away as this helps prevent damage to the sensitive roots. The hole should be dug twice the diameter of the root ball and no deeper than the root ball.

Make sure the hole is level, such that the bottom of the tree’s trunk is even with the ground. Once the tree is placed, fill the hole with loose soil to promote healthy root growth. A last piece of advice is to avoid planting during particularly dry spells; young palms are vulnerable to weather changes.

Fertilization Palms are hardy plants, but they do need a boost once or twice a year. They’re particularly sensitive to certain deficiencies, namely nitrogen, potassium, magnesium and micronutrients. Fortunately, there are “palm special” fertilizers that focus on these deficiencies.

Grangetto’s in Fallbrook recommends Apex® Palm Special, Gro Power® Palm & Tropical or Grow More® Palm Food. For the organic grower, Dr. Earth® Palm, Tropical & Hibiscus fertilizer is a good choice; simply follow the directions on the package.

Palms are experiencing nitrogen deficiency if all of the leaves are yellowing. Potassium and magnesium deficiency is present on older leaves only and appears as orange flecks with yellowing leaf edges.

Micronutrient deficiencies only affect the newest leaves; they appear stunted or exhibit what’s called interveinal chlorosis, the inability to properly process chlorophyll. In that case, they’ll be a much paler green than normal, but the veins will be the usual green.

This deficiency can be caused if the soil pH is incorrect for the type of palm, or if there’s low root activity.

Low root activity can be caused by a multitude of factors from low

Palms are frequently used in landscape plans for homes of all sizes in the Valley.

Many palm nurseries can be found in the Fallbrook/Bonsall area, some are wholesale, but many sell to the public.

temperatures to physical damage, over-watering and poor drainage – which leads to poor oxygenation.

Irrigation This is vitally important for healthy, happy palm trees. Palms are sensitive to moisture levels; over-watering is just as bad as under-watering. This is especially true for recently planted palms or palms that are just establishing a root system. Contrary to popular belief, do not rely on a calendar for “regularly-scheduled” irrigation; this will only result in overwatering.

To help them establish root systems, water newly-planted palms on a daily basis. Water large, established palms when the soil two inches down is dry to the touch.

When watering these palm trees, take the soil type into consideration, too. The goal is to moisten the soil one foot down. If the soil

is heavy or clay, that means applying two to two and a half inches of water; for light, sandy soil, only apply one to one and a half inches.

It’s best to break this up into a few smaller irrigations to avoid water run-off.

Mulch Shortly and sweetly, mulching palms is easy. First, clear all ground cover – and shrubs – within two feet of the palm’s base. Then, apply organic mulch, three inches deep, around the base and that’s it.

Grangetto’s recommends Kellogg® Gardner & Bloome® Soil Building Compost, which is perfect for the job, not to mention organic!

Pruning and sanitation Moderation is the key phrase.

Only remove dead leaves; pruning healthy leaves may damage the tree. Imagine a horizontal line running through the middle of the heart

from three o’clock to nine o’clock.

Never remove leaves above this line. Pruning should be done with the proper tools, such as a hand saw or pole pruner for taller palms, not a chainsaw.

Palms also fruit (think coconuts) and that can cause sanitation and safety issues. Smaller fruits, such as those of the Queen Palm, create an enormous amount of litter when they fall. The safety concerns of falling coconuts are pretty easy to imagine. The fruit stalks can be pruned when pruning the dead leaves. Proper pruning keeps palms healthy and the yard safe and clean.

How to recognize if your dog has diabetes

Even man’s best friend is not immune from diabetes.

INLAND EMPIRE – The family pet is typically a beloved and cherished member of the family, one whom no one wants to see succumb to sickness or illness. But just like their human counterparts, pets can get sick, and it might surprise

some pet owners to learn their pets aren’t immune to diseases most commonly associated with human beings.

One such disease is diabetes, which is a common disease in dogs regardless of breed. Just like with

human beings, diabetes in dogs does not discriminate. However, females with the disease outnumber males by three to one, and Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Miniature Schnauzers, Keeshonden and Poodles have the highest incidence of diabetes.

When a dog gets diabetes, it is because of inadequate insulin production by the islet cells in the pancreas. For some dogs, this inadequate insulin production is due to a genetic predisposition. Insulin is essential for dogs, as it allows glucose to pass into the cells, which metabolize the glucose for energy.

When a dog is insulin deficient, it will develop high blood sugar, known as hyperglycemia, as well as a high urine sugar, a condition also known as glycosuria. When glucose is present in its urine, a dog will urinate more frequently, which sets off a chain reaction that

includes dehydration and an urge to consume large amounts of water.

In addition to those symptoms, some additional signs a dog might have diabetes include: * Weight loss * Increased appetite * Recurrent infections * Intolerance of exercise While any of the aforementioned symptoms can be indicative of diabetes, their presence does not necessarily mean a dog is diabetic.

For example, a dog that cannot hold its urine might be suffering from a bladder or kidney infection instead of diabetes. When a dog is exhibiting issues with regards to urination, the best thing an owner can do is consult a veterinarian immediately.

If diabetes is not diagnosed early on, then a dog might exhibit different symptoms once the disease has begun to advance. Cataracts, for instance, are common in diabetic
