Murrieta city Attorney Leslie Devaney fields a question from the dais during the May 16 city council meeting.

Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Murrieta City Council, along with a group of citizens, expressed their displeasure at being forced to consider a move to by-district elections thanks to the threat of a lawsuit by the legal firm of Shenkman & Hughes.

In a letter received by the city in March, Attorney Kevin Shenkman claims the city’s current voting system dilutes the ability of Latinos – considered a protected class – to elect city council candidates of their choosing and by doing so violates the California Voting Rights Act. In his letter, Shenkman demands that the city transition

from at-large to district-based city council elections and threatens legal action if that demand is not met. Murrieta isn’t the first city to be threatened by the Malibu-based law firm. Temecula is also considering making the move. Wildomar and Hemet both switched from at-large to by district elections after receiving the threatening letters which

Shenkman & Hughes appear to be sending to all California cities using an at-large election system. Currently 55 cities, 145 school districts, 20 community college districts, one county board of supervisors and eight water and other special districts are contemplating

“Lights. Camera. Action!” Everyone who hears these words thinks of an intensely focused, experienced, older white-bearded director sitting on a movie set overseeing actors and his film crew. Yet that imaginative picture fizzles when you see 14-year-old Amelia Conway of Temecula standing next to a film crew equipped with the latest Arri movie camera, overhead speakers and her adult crew, directing a commercial, with well-known NASCAR drivers. Today her latest directing treatment and acting effort may be seen during commercial breaks in the NASCAR auto races “Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series” that debuted April 28 on Fox and Fox Sports 1 television. It is a 30-second ad she directed and acted in

titled “Tutelage.” The advertising campaign she was hired to direct is part of the NASCAR’s Acceleration Nation that engages the next generation of NASCAR fans by creating fun, entertaining and educational ways for children to interact with the sport. How did this rising young advertising star come to be admired and hired by the youth-focused production agency Adolescent Content that produced the latest NASCAR commercial? Amelia, who now lives in Temecula, was born by innovative and imaginative parents in Venice Beach and has never been a stranger to the whirlwind business of filmmaking. She has traveled from coast-to-coast with her family and her favorite cats. Loving to sing and act ever since

Wal-Mart locations eyed by Menifee council Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

A new police storefront, an antigraffiti ordinance and an update on two proposed Wal-Mart locations were items on the agenda at the Menifee city council meeting May 17. The council voted to approve startup funds, not to exceed $69,000, for a police storefront substation to be utilized by the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office, which the city contracts with for police services. The 1,299 square-foot substation will be located in Cherry Hills Plaza, 28115 Bradley Road, No. 4 in Sun City. The council’s budget appropriation anticipates a 5-year lease for the site. A vote was taken on a proposed ordinance to require property owners to address graffiti within 72 hours. The city would be allowed to fix graffiti on properties it is not fixed within the 72-hour

timeframe, and may place liens on such properties. The ordinance’s second reading and adoption will take place June 7. Two Wal-Marts are currently proposed within Menifee city limits, Interim City Manager Ronald Bradley said Wednesday night. One, an approximately 182,000-square-foot store or about 208,000 square feet including an adjacent shopping center, could be built on 24.5 acres near the intersection of McCall Boulevard and Encanto Drive, just east of I-215. The store proposal is currently on its fifth submission, though the city is waiting to receive a few items for review for the submission to be considered complete, including a specific plan and environmental impact report, Bradley said. After all items are reviewed, the next step will be for the project to go before the city’s planning commission, he said. The store was first

proposed in 2012. A second, similarly-sized WalMart is proposed near the intersection of Scott and Haun roads after the completion the Scott Road/I-215 interchange project. “Whether they will actually build the Wal-Mart at that point in time, when the completion of the interchange comes to fruition, is yet to be determined, but that is the feedback we have from them at this moment in time,” he said. The Scott Road location was initially approved by voters in a 2011 ballot initiative and some grading has taken place in the area for future construction. Councilmember Lesa Sobek expressed concern about the McCall location, as the 2011 initiative approved only one Wal-Mart, not two. “The voters voted for one WalMart in the City of Menifee, and they voted for a Wal-Mart at Scott,” Sobek said. “I’m concerned that

HEARING from page A-1 the change. Assistant City Attorney Chris Cameron explained the issue to council before the public hearing commenced, saying that the CVRA, signed into state law in 2012, is forcing cities into district elections. The law, she said, is essentially making it easier for a postelection challenge under the California version of the Federal Voting Rights Act. According to Cameron, all that is needed for a challenge is a “particular race” voting as a “particular block” not able to elect their preferred candidate “because of the effect of majority voting throughout the rest of the city.” Cameron explained that liability is only determined by the presence of “statistically identified racially polarized voting” and that there is no need for prejudice or discrimination which is why many cities in California are choosing to make the switch from at-large to by-district voting. CVRA cases are expensive to defend against and when cities lose the cost is “quite high” something that must be considered when making the decision to comply with the demand or fight a costly lawsuit in court, she said. “The key issue here is if the city issues a challenge and loses, not only do they have to pay their legal expenses but the legal expenses of those challengers and those costs can be quite high,” she said. “The city attorney is not aware of any city in California that has been successful in fighting off a voting rights act challenge.” Doug Johnson, founder and president of National Demographics explained the process of forming districts to council and the nearly 100 people who gathered for the meeting. According to Johnson, the idea of districts is to give a voice to groups who feel they do not have anyone speaking for them on the council. “It still takes the majority vote of the council to get anything done,” Johnson said. “It could be any issue that divides a community where the opposition in s geographically focused.” Shenkman issues the challenges geographically, cities in southern Riverside County, Orange County and the north end of San Diego County have all been receiving the same letter threatening the lawsuit, Johnson said. “He sends letters to just about everybody,” he said. “It is a huge shift statewide and right now this is the center of it, unfortunately.” Johnson said the criteria used to develop the districts are an equal population, no racial gerrymandering, neighborhoods, keeping the

Winter said the city will see the return of its funding in installments beginning in June. “Now we’ve got the money to be able to provide the services to you folks,” Winter said. “And that’s the most important thing.”

now they’re talking about one at McCall. I look at our surrounding cities, and (the city of) Murrieta only has one Wal-Mart. The City of Temecula has one Wal-Mart.” Wednesday night’s meeting included the second reading and adoption of an ordinance prohibiting panhandling. Mayor Neil Winter also briefly discussed a bill signed by Governor Jerry Brown May 12 restoring vehicle license fee funding to four Riverside County cities, including Menifee. The funding, which was reserved

districts compact and contiguous, boundaries – such as major roads – respect for voter’s wishes and continuity in office and planned future growth. Based on the city’s population, each district will have roughly 20,700 residents. After each U.S. census, the city will have to revisit and possibly redraw the lines based on the number of residents in each district to keep the numbers as close to equal as possible. Councilman Randon Lane asked about the possibility of fighting the potential lawsuit, referencing the American Disability Act Lawsuits that were successfully defeated by several cities. According to city Attorney Leslie Devaney, there had to be standing for the ADA lawsuits and many of those lawsuits there was not standing, such as the plaintiff being disabled or being hurt or damaged by the defendants in those lawsuits failure to comply with ADA law. “Yes, this definitely feels like a shake-down lawsuit, it is brought by somebody who is taking advantage of it,” Devaney said. “The law is the law. The legislature has passed this law that requires cities comply after notice of intent. According to Devaney, the CVRA lawsuits can be brought by anybody. The plaintiffs don’t have to be injured, they just have to have a reason to do so. Regardless of what the intent is, law offices such as Shenkman & Hughes can get a plaintiff and sue the cities and win if it is determined that there is polarized voting. Cameron pointed out that even if the city were to win one lawsuit, another protected class could sue the city. “Over the course of time as numbers change, as demographics change, you could conceivably be sued on multiple occasions,” she said. During the hourslong meeting numerous residents spoke out against the proposed change, many blaming the state to make it easier to sue the cities and “sweeten the pot” for attorneys. “For me the question is where

do you draw the line. I don’t sit up there,” Murrieta resident and Business Consultant Kassen Klein told council. “But you represent me and you represent my fellow residents. Where are your convictions? Where are your uncompromising values, where do we draw that line? Have you positioned yourself to defend your vote, rather than fight? Fight for your principles, fight for what is right.” Councilman Kelly Seyarto said what the city needed was the money to fight the potential lawsuit, something the city did not have. “We don’t have that kind of money and we can’t risk that kind of money, but what we can do is take the time tht we do have to figure this thing out,” he said. “If you want to bring on a lawsuit tonight and say we are going to say ‘no,’ that is a big roll of the dice.” Seyarto along with Ingram both said they would be willing to donate to a legal defense fund to help fight against the suit, should the city decide to fight it. “We have 115,000 people in this city and we could potentially raise the kind of money we would need for a legal defense without hurting the people that we depend on for our services, without jeopardizing the safe community that we all strive for,” Seyarto said. “Do I want to fight? Yep, I sure do. This guy ticks me off more than anybody has in a long time.” Seyarto said it was important to consider all options rather than take premature action. “I think that is the responsible way to handle this,” he said. Mayor Rick Gibbs said, “you can’t take a knife to a gunfight” and while he wanted to fight, right now the city didn’t have the money to do so. “We don’t have any bullets,” he said. “If we don’t have those bullets then no matter how anyone feels, it won’t make any difference. What we need is money.” The next public hearing regarding the issue will be held at the upcoming Murrieta City Council meeting June 6.

San Jacinto marijuana ordinance moves forward with more limits

code which provided the approval of the ordinance’s first reading. The discussion on a series of amendments suggested by Mayor Scott Miller at the May 2 council meeting was followed by almost 90 minutes of public comments. Twenty-one residents, landowners and marijuana growers expressed their opinions both for and against the drug’s cultivation, distribution, sales and recreational use. All are now permitted by state law under

Proposition 64 which was passed by voters in 2016. There were six areas in Title 17 of the ordinance regarding zones, allowable land uses and zone-specific standards that were brought forward for discussion. The items for discussion and possible action were taken from what has become known as Miller’s “Marijuana Manifesto.” Those areas included the minimum lot size for cultivation of marijuana in the designated light industrial zone of the city, west of Sanderson Avenue and north of Cottonwood Avenue; the number of permitted facilities; limits in indoor cultivation areas; dispensaries, limiting indoor cultivation to certain light industrial zones and to make sure the city’s ordinance was consistent with state law now and if it is changed in the future. The council, finding that the minimum one-half acre lot size for cultivation suggested by Miller was impossible for growers, approved 5-0 to adjust the minimum lot size to one-acre. Miller agreed with the staff findings. The original proposed ordinance did not limit the number of marijuana grow sites permitted

films and music videos. She acted as the girl lead in a music video for the band Heartless Bastards in their song “Only for You,” directed by Bradley Beasley. At 10 years old, she sang the national anthem at the Star of Texas Rodeo in Austin, Texas, through her 4-H Club and a cover of Janis Joplin’s 1960s school project, “Mercedes-Benz.” Following those events, Amelia made a commercial for her theater class project and music video of a Bon Iver song that caught the eye of creative director Ramaa Mosely, who signed her to Adolescent Content. She shot short commercials for Tom’s Shoes, Beats Music and America Girl Dolls and directed a documentary short film called “Hometown” about hometown life where she lived for a time in Dripping Springs, Texas. Besides her latest endeavor with NASCAR’s “Tutelage,” she was hired to direct the Target department store’s “Back to School” campaign in 2015. Even with her early success she said, “I’d like to be known as a creative director, not just a young director.” She hopes to inspire other people who may think their age or any other perceived limitation should hold them back from their dreams. Her “Tutelage” infomercial, which stars NASCAR driver Austin

Dillon, is set in a school classroom as child teachers explain the aerodynamics principles of drag and drafting to a seated audience of NASCAR drivers. Dillon, the driver of No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet SS, tells the other drivers to take notes on the discussion. The ad promotes the sports national youth platform. “As a filmmaker, Amelia is a special talent and we loved her vision for this project,” Jill Gregory, NASCAR senior vice president and chief marketing officer, said. “She represents the youth audience that is important to our sport, so having that unique perspective guide the creative process for us was invaluable.” Amelia was introduced to NASCAR through 77 Ventures, the racing group’s agency partner in the 2017 season launch campaign. “I really appreciate how NASCAR is including kids like me in the sport,” Amelia said. “I’ve always liked working with kid actors, but working with Austin Dillon was an awesome experience.” A child and a student herself she continued, “Being on the set and learning about how race team use STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) to help their drivers was fascinating, and I think NASCAR Acceleration Nation will inspire other young people like me to do what they love.”

After many hours in workshops and public hearings, San Jacinto City Council moved ahead toward the strict regulation of commercial marijuana cultivation in designated light industrial areas of the city Tuesday, May 16. The council in a 5-0 vote amended Title 17 of marijuana Ordinance 17-02 of the city’s development

DIRECTOR from page A-1 she can remember, she honed her skills with her parents help. In 2011, when she was only six, she was a passenger on the “Railroad Revival Tour,” created by her father, and traveled across the country by vintage train with Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Old Crow Medicine Show. She even appeared in a brief cameo in her father’s Grammy Award-winning documentary. Before that Amelia was a hit when at age 4 she wrote a song “Ships” that was played on the Los Angeles FM radio station Indie103 by guest DJ Annie Hardy of “Giant Drag.” Later she and her brother created their own radio show on the pirate and internet radio station “Little Radio,” and formed a band called “Drum.” That same year she joined the choir in actor Ryan Goslings’ band “Dead Man’s Bones.” She even performed a duet in Nancy Sinatra’s song “Bang, Bang” to a sold-out crowd at the Echo, in Los Angeles. Not to stop there, Amelia went on to sing in front of 22,000 people at the FYFest, and played the girl lead in the band’s video “Pa Pa Power,” directed by Noaz Deshe. Next, Amelia, again with her brother and her own Super 8 camera in 2012, began making short

in the light-industrial area. The council, after discussing limiting the sites to between two and five, ended agreeing on a maximum of three permitted sites, but left the number of sites permitted open in the future. The ordinance limited the indoor cultivation area to a maximum of 22,000 square feet on the same parcel or lot. It was discussed limiting the square footing to 10,000 square feet, but that was dismissed because it would be inconsistent with state law that allows up to 22,000 square feet, according to the city attorney. The proposed regulations, under the city ordinance, do not allow dispensaries to open in the city. However, the council, seeing the dispensaries would allow a better revenue stream for the city and control, was considered the prohibition and sought limitations as to how many would be allowed and where. This proposal was tabled in favor of conducting a workshop and discussion about placing the marijuana dispensary regulation in a separate ordinance. The proposed regulations allowed indoor commercial uses in any light-industrial zone in the

city. But, there was concern about having commercial farms too close to the Ramona Expressway where new homes are being built. The council, by both limiting the number of cultivation sites earlier and by further restricting the area to uses south of Cottonwood Avenue and north of Brinton in the light industrial resolved that issue. The council ended its discussion on keeping the ordinances consistent with state laws by adding in a section allowing the ordinance to be changed as the state law changes or is modified in the future. The door was left open for further discussions, and for a workshop to discuss regulation of marijuana dispensaries and outdoor cultivation in the city that may result in a separate ordinance. The public commentary before the council’s final discussion brought more residents favoring the proposed ordinance, pointing to its better control over the illegal grows and its distribution in the city and the medical benefits attributed to the drug. There were others still adamantly opposed to any cultivation, distribution and use of marijuana in the city.

Temecula presses ahead with second Veterans Memorial at Duck Pond Park Tim O’Leary TOLEARY@REEDERMEDIA.COM

His son, Marine Sgt. Louis Cardin, 27, was killed in Iraq in March 2016 during action against ISIS. Focus was also placed on Marine Cpl. Christopher Singer, a 23-yearold Chaparral High School graduate, who was killed in action in 2012 in Afghanistan.

Temecula plans to soon add another pearl to its necklace of sculptures and memorials at the popular Duck Pond Park. The recently approved memorial dubbed “Fallen Heroes,” would be the second piece at the park with a military theme. The proposed memorial, which will cost about $184,000 to create and install, is intended to honor Temecula residents who have been killed in action during their military service. A nationally recognized De Luz sculptor has designed the bronze and steel piece and a Fallbrook foundry will produce the casting. A veterans group, affiliated with the foundry, will play a key role in the work, which the city hopes to have in place in about a year. The Temecula City Council took a key step forward in April approving the project, yet much preparation work must be done and a large share of the funding must still be allocated. “I’m very excited to see this project come to fruition,” Mayor Maryann Edwards said as the council discussed the funds raised so far that gave the memorial the green light to proceed. Fred Cardin, the father of one of the veterans who inspired the monument, attended the April 25 council meeting.

Gains landmark status When it is installed, the memorial will become the fifth piece of public art at the park that has gained landmark status at the city. Three of those pieces are linked to Temecula’s relationships with its sister cities in Japan and Holland. The park at the southeast corner of Ynez and Rancho California roads has its own storied history. The property initially served as the hub of Temecula’s explosive growth after the 87,500-acre Vail Ranch, which blanketed a vast area that stretched from Vail Lake to the Santa Rosa Plateau, was sold for development in the 1960s. The building that adjoins the 7.5acre park was constructed as the sales office and corporate center of the original developer. It was later used as a Riverside County courthouse and assessor’s office. The park site passed into the city’s hands after Temecula incorporated in December 1989. The park is a popular place for families to stroll and relax. The city

discourages visitors from feeding the ducks living there. A restaurant now owns the building that once housed the development sales office and county operations. City officials have used the park for holiday gatherings. Its prominent location has attracted political candidates waving hand-held signs and has been the site of numerous political and public issue rallies. “It’s very popular,” Erica Russo, a city senior management analyst, said in a recent telephone interview. “It is one of our most popular sites.” Over the years, the park has become a magnet for donated and cityfunded public artworks. The existing pieces, as well as the new one being planned, ring the two-acre pond. The first piece was donated to Temecula in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that occurred in New York City and Washington, D.C. That piece, “Singing in the Rain,”was designed by Dutch artist Franz Kokshoorn and was donated to Temecula by a sister city, Leidschendam-Voorburg. That sculpture, a duplicate of a piece in the Dutch city, shows a rainsoaked umbrella collapsing on a bedraggled bicycle rider and her child. The city commissioned its own piece in April 2004, a veteran-themed memorial that was designed by Fallbrook-based artist Christopher Pardell. That memorial, “Letters Home,” cost the city nearly $289,000 and was dedicated on Veterans’ Day 2004.

CHARITY from page A-1 the presentation of wishes to its select beneficiaries. Tonya was an avid runner and the half-marathon was presented to her family in her honor. “What better way to honor her than to do what she loved,” said Charity Prestifilippo, founder of Charity for Charity. “When Tonya passed away, I knew Charity for Charity was going to do something for my family,” said JJ Petchel, Tonya’s husband, “But I though to myself, what could they possibly do to make me smile at a time like this? Having a memorial halfmarathon in her name blew me away!” The organization also presented the family with a cruise, another wish that Tonya had made for her family. More than 200 runners, volunteers, vendors, family and supporters attended the event, which featured the memorial half-marathon and fun run/ walks of 10k, 5k and 1k. Registered participants ranged in age from 5 to 75. There were also a number parents with their babies in strollers on the course. JJ was joined on the run by his daughter, Texie and son Blake, Aunt Geri Robak, age 63 and husband Jim, 75, drove from Sherman Oaks to participate in the 10k Fun Run/Walk. “Tonya has been an inspiration to us

Pardell was also hired by the city to design a massive fountain in a Luiseno Indian basket pattern that is part of a public square at Temecula’s Civic Center complex in Old Town. He also designed a privately-funded statue in the 128-acre Ronald Reagan Sports Park along Rancho Vista Road. In 2004, the city continued to burnish Duck Pond Park by adding a Japanese garden. That addition, which was designed by Kevin Harrington, a longtime city recreation supervisor, now retired, cost $133,000, and honors Temecula’s relationship with its Japanese sister city, DaisenNakayama. Leidschendam-Voorburg provided a second sculpture in 2013. That piece, designed by Dutch artist Jeroen Stok, is comprised of blue Delft tile and a pair of 4-foot tall stainless-steel tulips. The Japanese garden was embellished by the city in 2014 with a Torii gate, lanterns, chain bollards and a fox statue at a cost of approximately $80,000. DeLuz artist-designer The recently-approved piece was designed by De Luz artist Austin Casson, who was recommended by a city parks commissioner. Casson is widely known as a wildlife, animal and golf sculptor who has works placed in the World Golf and Thoroughbred halls of fame. One of Casson’s bronze eagles was presented to the Texas library of former President George H. W. Bush, for years,” said Geri, “We did our first race because of Tonya. Family has come from all over,” she said, mentioning cousins from Miami, San Francisco, Chicago, Michigan and North Carolina. Petchel family runners included Meghan, Anthony, Sandra and Shauna. Other family members who traveled to the memorial event were Jessica and Gabe Rubalcava, Katrina Cobb and others. There were many others who did not know the Petchels, but were at the Stars of the Valley event and came to show their support, like motherdaughter team Diana and Juliana Stump doing the 5k, and 65-year old Ann LeComte who finished the 5k. Denise McCommins was so impressed by the Stars of the Valley event and Tonya’s story that she traveled from Newport Beach to participate in the early morning run. Katie Innes from San Marcos heard about the race from others who had been at the Charity for Charity event, “Their excitement and passion inspired me.” The winner of the half-marathon was Ryan Jilek, 13. Cody Hall, 22, came in second and third place finisher Steve Caddel, 45, who had never run a trail marathon before. Amy Martinez, a quadruple amputee and 2016 adult beneficiary of Stars of the Valley, participated in just

and the artist recently installed two life-size horse sculptures in La Cresta. Casson has not avoided controversial subjects. His piece titled “The Healing” focused on the Pechanga tribe’s ejection of many of its members from 2004-06. The future bronze and steel city sculpture will cost $34,000, stand more than 7 feet tall and include a battlefield cross, a life-size bald eagle and a steel tower. The California Sculpture Academy, a Fallbrook foundry, is involved in the “Fallen Heroes” project. Its Veterans art project will cast bronze seals of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard. The city will pay nearly $17,320 of the sculpture’s cost. Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 4089 will contribute $10,000. A GoFundMe account raised $5,166 and an unspecified nonprofit group contributed $1,500, according to a city staff report. Another $150,000 is expected to be formally allocated by the city in the upcoming fiscal year budget July 1. Those funds would be used to create a base for the new sculpture, install the piece and cover any cost overruns. Russo said the city hopes to have the new piece in place by the spring of 2018. Mayor Edwards said she is looking forward to the new piece taking its place amid the other monuments that adorn the park. “It’s going to look awesome,” she said in a telephone interview. her third 5K. This qualified her for a chance to receive a donated pair of amputee blade runners. Sgt. Billy Hamlett, U.S. Marine Corps, was also a beneficiary of this year’s Stars of the Valley, and he completed the 5k in his tracked wheelchair, alongside his wife Krystle. “Having previous beneficiaries at this marathon goes to show that no one fights alone in this organization,” said Alison Wooten, director of operations for Charity for Charity, “We are truly a family!” The post-race picnic and fun expo included DJ music, food and beverages, jump house for the children. Many runners expressed an interest in continuing the event in coming years, with the thought that it could grow in participation and promote cancer awareness as well as the work of the charity. JJ Petchel is championing “Tonya’s Law,” a legal initiative and public education program seeking to include DNA-sequencing for cancer patients to enable customized treatment plans to save or prolong lives. State Sen. Jeff Stone is adding his support. For more information or to support the cause, visit www.tonyaslaw.org.

CR & R invests $50 million turning waste into energy Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM

In the “Back to the Future” film franchise trilogy, Dr. Emmet Brown replaced the plutonium-based nuclear generator in the De Lorean time machine with a “Mr. Fusion” generator from the future that uses garbage as fuel. CR & R Environmental Services has a similar dream for the future – turning waste into energy through an advanced technology called anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic digestion produces “biogas” from organic waste in a zero waste, 100 percent renewable process. At a recent Economic Workforce Development Committee luncheon hosted by the Lake Elsinore Chamber of Commerce at the Diamond Club at Storm Stadium, Alex Braicovich, senior regional vice president at CR & R, shared the vision, the process and the progress of their initiative of “Turning Today’s Waste into Tomorrow’s Energy.” CR & R, a full service, privately held, integrated waste management company based in Orange County, California, was founded in 1963 with one truck in a waste-hauling operation and later added two recycling trucks. Today, the company has grown to include 50 municipal contracts in Southern California and southwestern United States. They have 12 processing contracts and utilize 1,000 trucks every day with 1,600 employees that serve 2.5 million residential customers and

50,000 commercial customers. They have two solid waste facilities, five transfer stations and two landfills – a large one in Yuma, Arizona, and a smaller one serving Catalina Island. The company has always been on the leading edge, including having the first recycling buy-back center in Orange County, the first three-can, fully automated curbside collection system, the first network of Material Recovery Facilities and one of the first bio-filtration systems. CR & R’s new renewable energy project is one of the largest and most advanced anaerobic digestion facilities in North America, converting green and food wastes into renewable natural gas and organic soil amendments. The process also utilizes recycled water from the local waste water treatment plant. The

renewable natural gas is a “drop-in” replacement transportation fuel for compressed natural gas vehicles, but has lower carbon intensity. The dynamic 21-day process mimics Mother Nature using microorganisms to break down biodegradable materials – food waste, green waste, fats, oils and greases – but accelerating the process in a closed oxygen-free, fully-automated system. The process produces an extremely clean biogas which can be combusted to generate electricity or processed into renewable natural gas. The plant can process 335,000 tons of solids waste per year, creating 4 million gallons of natural gas as well as 250,000 tons of separated digestate that can be used as agronomically desirable soil amendments.

County, Canyon Lake reach agreement on reopening station CANYON LAKE – The city of Canyon Lake’ s lone fire station is slated to reopen under an agreement approved last week by the Riverside County board of supervisors. In a 4-0 vote, the board signed off on a $1.43 million contract to restart on-site emergency services in the gated municipality, with reduced staffing, through July 1, 2018. “We have a very bad situation in Canyon Lake,” Supervisor Kevin Jeffries said, whose 1st District encompasses the city of 11,000. “This is not a great idea, but it’s a first step.” The compact stipulates that the city’s Vacation Drive firehouse will have a two-person squad available 24/7. The board-mandated staffing level for any Riverside County fire engine is three personnel, one of whom functions as a firefighterparamedic. Jeffries, a former fireman, worked out a compromise just to get the fire station re-activated.

“We need to do this. It’s a step in the right direction,” the supervisor said. “It will lead us to a longer-term resolution that needs to occur.” The agreement, which the city is slated to approve next week, calls for a return to three-person staffing in Canyon Lake by July 2018. If the city does not accept the county’s terms, however, the fire services contract likely will not be extended. Canyon Lake City Councilman Larry Green repeated the city’s complaint in 2015, telling the board that having a fully staffed fire station was “unsustainable,” due to the costs incurred. “We have to look at new development and a new development plan,” Green said, suggesting the city may yet form an independent fire agency. Green acknowledged that the arrangement in place for the last roughly two years has not been “positive,” with county fire crews from Menifee and Lake Elsinore responding to Canyon Lake under a

mutual aid compact, with response times running “10, 12 or 15 minutes.” Canyon Lake shuttered its countyoperated firehouse July 1, 2015, after the municipality and county became steeped in legal wrangling over nearly $2 million in unpaid fire services bills, which the city blamed on increased firefighter staffing that it did not want and warned the county it wouldn’t be able to afford. City officials said budgetary reserves were depleted paying for county public safety services. In a 57-page breach of contract lawsuit, the county alleged that, beginning in the last half of the 2013-2014 fiscal year, Canyon Lake stopped making payments under the fire protection contract that went into effect July 1, 2011, and ended July 1, 2015. The suit was resolved in the fall of 2015 when Canyon Lake agreed to reimburse the county $1.7 million.

“We can use about 3 million gallons of the fuel in our fleet, leaving an extra million gallons we can resell to cities,” Braicovich said. CR & R is the first company to contract with SoCal Gas and has installed 1.3 miles of 8-inch gas pipeline to connect with them. The four-phase $100 million project, which provides the maximum flexibility, is being built on CR & R’s existing 50-acre materials recovery and transfer station in Perris and will serve communities in southwest Riverside County. The high solids anaerobic digestion allows for nearly 100 percent recycling and generates a carbon negative transportation fuel and valuable organic soil amendments. The program keeps organic wastes out of landfills where their natural degradation produces methane gas, 84 times more damaging to the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.

The process is fully automated with zero untreated emissions, the highest energy conversion rates in the industry and runs 24/7 every day of the year. According to the company, compared with landfilling and composting alternatives, anaerobic digestion provides 100 percent energy recovery, 100 percent emissions capture and 100 percent nutrient recovery. California Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed two landmark pieces of legislation drastically reducing the amount of organic waste ending up in landfills. Assembly Bill 1826 requires businesses and multi-family complexes to separate their food scraps and yard trimmings for composting or anaerobic digestion. Assembly Bill 1594 eliminates a current loophole in state law that allows yard trimmings and other green waste that are used as land cover to qualify as recycling. “We also believe in convenience, requiring as little change as possible to the customer,” Braicovich said. ”The company is providing 1.9 gallon pails to customers to collect food wastes in the kitchen.” He likened the change to the beginning of the recycling movement 30 years ago. The company has partnered with key technology and construction vendors with plans for potential future plants. Perhaps like the “Back to the Future” films, it is a glimpse into the future where garbage fuels transportation and energy needs. For more information, visit www. crrwasteservices.com.

MVUSD holds first Special Olympics at Murrieta Mesa High School As many as 400 students from Murrieta Valley Unified schools competed Friday, May 19, in the district’s first ever Special Olympics. Sponsored by the district in

a partnership with Special Olympics Southern California Inland Empire, the event was an opportunity for district students with disabilities to compete in various

Electric Youth brings ‘Intensity’ to win championships Stephanie Lai VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Intensity Athletics recently came back with 18 National Champions from The Summit hosted in Orlando, Florida. As a second year gym and a first year team, Electric Youth placed first in the Small Youth Level 3 division bringing home their gym’s first Summit title. Cheerleading levels are based on skills scaling from 1-5, gradually increasing in stunt and tumbling difficulty with each level. The three day competition lasted May 5-7, with qualifying finalist competing two days. The invitation only competition is one of the most renowned competitions in the Allstar Cheerleading sphere. Amongst the 12,000 plus All-star teams that compete for summit bids, less than 17 percent are invited as teams compete at preliminary competitions that offer bids

to highest scoring teams. Electric Youth received their bid in February in Palm Springs giving them months to intensify their training. During the Summit, 50 percent of the teams in each division qualify to compete the second day as finalists. Electric Youth, fortunately, held first place both days with two well executed routines. Head Coach Sumer Dandan explained the achievement of winning at Summit, “It means a lot! As we put together teams and start working with these athletes we always wonder if what we are doing is correct. Are we pushing them too hard or not enough? If we make changes to our routine, sometimes there is doubt that we are making the right move. This win means that all of the hard work, dedication and sacrifice, from athletes, parents and coaches was worth it!” These athletes train twice a week as well as spend an additional

day in the gym solely working on tumbling. Beginning in April Intensity’s entire Summit bound teams added an additional team practice. Pushing their athletes to their limits, the coaches brought forth a winning team with dedicated champions. As a team, many of the athletes from Electric Youth have been teammates for four years now, with a few children that have left and a few added, but for the most part they are the same. Fundamentally, “they support one another and they believe in one another to. In addition, the parents of these children put complete trust in what we do. The combination of the kid’s work ethic and synergy combined with the parents trust and dedication made this team amazing,” Dandan expressed. Alongside Electric Youth, Intensity Athletics bought five other teams with four of them moving on as finalists. Their Youth Level 1 finished fifth out of 65 teams and Senior Coed Level 3 finishing in sixth as the gym returned home to Murrieta California with new titles to add. While the 18 athletes next season were to be determined with try-

outs May 17 and 18, the program coaches are determined to structure teams for success. Their nearly undefeated season finished strong, however Coach Sumer defined a pivotal point for the team “when they came in second place at NCA in Dallas,” ultimately guiding them to their success in Florida. With knowledge they would compete against the first place team at summit, they

found a new drive to work harder. “Up until that point they had always taken first place, they needed this loss to humble them and to light a fire that burned even hotter than before,” Dandan said. Ending the season for these 11 year old and younger athletes, Electric Youth has sparked great success for their gym and cheerleading career at the Summit 2017 as National Champions.

TEMECULA – Sophomore hurler, Autumn Pease, didn’t allow a single run as the Murrieta Mesa Lady Rams defeated Temescal Canyon 11-0 Thursday, May 18, in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Division 3 softball playoffs. Thanks to a huge first inning, Murrieta Mesa grabbed an early 6-0 lead. Kelci Hill got things going for the Lady Rams with an RBI single, then came a single by Zoey Clark, a single by Pease, a double by Breeana Anderson and a single by Presleigh Pilon to put Murrieta Mesa well out in front. Temescal Canyon did show some grit early on with a single by Briana Ramirez in the first inning, but that would be the only hit that Pease allowed as she earned the win for

Murrieta Mesa. The sophomore hurler threw four and two-thirds innings, gave up zero runs, one hit, struck out five and had no walks. Bibi Villeda took the loss for Temescal Canyon. The Lady Rams had 15 hits in the game. Clark, Pilon, Lauren Randle, Hill, and Anderson each collected multiple hits for Murrieta Mesa with powerful home runs coming when Clark homered in the fourth inning and Pilon homered in the fifth. Murrieta Mesa will now advance to round 2 where their next opponent will be Mayfair (18-7), who defeated San Dimas 10-3 in first round action. It will be an away game for the Lady Rams this week as they set their sights on the Division 3 Championships.

Temecula Valley’s Nolen honored after 33 years of teaching, coaching JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Temecula Valley High School has had many successful coaches throughout the years since opening its doors in 1985 and Friday, May 19, the school honored one of the most longest-standing coaches in the school’s history, Jim Nolen. Nolen, who has been coaching for 33 years and teaching for 32, will be retiring this year. A husband, father, teacher and then coach, Nolen has 5 children with his wife, all of whom are graduates of Temecula Valley High School and have been successful student athletes there. He also has one grandchild as of this year. There isn’t a sport Coach Nolen ever shied away from, but it was football that kept him the busiest. He coached the offensive line, defensive linebackers, defensive line and was the defensive coordinator for the varsity program for 22 of the 29 years that level of the program has been in existence. He also has been a head freshman and JV coach. Nolen was part of 2 CIF Football Championships, another semifinal finish, and numerous

championships on the Varsity and Junior Varsity level. Nolen believes that an athlete must set his priorities to be successful in life and he wanted to teach them what these priorities should be. For him they would be in this order: 1) family, 2) religion 3) studies, 4) school, 5) team and then 6) self. The soon-to-be retired teacher and coach has many sayings, but one that never escapes the athletes is: “The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.” Every teacher, coach, student athlete and student

in general knows that the big dirt hill behind Temecula Valley’s campus is known as Nolen’s Hill. “There’s so much history on that dirt hill, but right now, it’s just an overgrown treadmill,” Nolan said. To understand its namesake, one has to understand the legacy of the school’s first head football coach Bud Kane. Nolen, who served as Temecula Valley’s defensive coordinator under Kane for many years, would have his Golden Bears run the hill for all the penalties rendered during their games. The

screams from Nolen will forever be remembered as he used to run side-by-side with his players telling them “If an old man can do it, so can you!” Nolen has said in the past , “When I retire, I don’t want any building or facility named after me. I just want that hill. “That,” he said, “and to see these kids put us back on the map.”

Guest speakers during the evening included Bud Kane, former TVHS Athletic Director Stan Ford and former head baseball coach Rich Emard who presented Jim Nolen with a plaque with “Nolen’s Hill” on it to put into the earth on that hill and officially give him what he has always wanted.

HS Baseball: Luna’s walkoff gives Broncos first round 6-5 victory over Hart JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Vista Murrieta won Thursday’s CIF Southern Section round one playoff game in dramatic fashion, with a 6-5 walk-off victory over Hart, who took an early lead. The Indians scored one run when senior Brendan Henry singled with one out in the first inning, but would find themselves trailing through much of the game. Hart evened things up at four in the top of the sixth inning when Cody Jeferis hit into a fielder’s choice, scoring one run, then went ahead when Cole Roederer scored on infield error by the Broncos. Vista Murrieta found themselves down 5-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning when things started to work for the 2017 Southwestern

League Champions. Jake Moberg drilled a line drive to outfield with one out. The setting of the story

started falling into place when the next batter struck out, leaving Moberg at first. Drew Sims would pick

up a clutch single to keep the game going with two outs as he and Moberg now stood on first and second. Next up, senior outfielder Mason Campbell, who would battle through his at bat, ultimately getting hit by a pitch after fouling off quite a few balls throughout his 3-2 count. The bases were now loaded with two outs, it was the bottom of the seventh and the crowd was going wild. It was indeed time for the Mighty Casey to be at Bat. In this case, Casey was being played by senior lefty, Brandon Luna, who had already gotten a hit that day. In true storybook fashion, Luna took strike one looking, fouled off strike two and then drilled the ball to the outfield driving in two runs for the walkoff. Brandon Ross started the game

for Broncos. He tossed two innings, gave up two runs, three hits, and struck out two while Jake Moberg earned the win for Broncos. Bryce Collins started the game for Hart. He pitched six innings, surrendered four runs and six hits, struck out six and walked one, but it would be Henry that took the loss for the Indians. Vista Murrieta (22-8) had nine hits in the game. Moberg, Joey Hodapp and Luna each collected multiple hits for the Broncos. Luna led the Broncos with two runs batted in and went 2-for-4 on the day. The Broncos will face Corona next in the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division 1 baseball playoffs this week. The Panthers are 21-9 and were the Big VIII Champions.

Avison Young completes long-term lease for Airbus DS Communications in Temecula

The North American headquarters for Airbus DS Communications is moving into a new industrial building in Temecula. The 12.5-year lease Courtesy photo was handled by Avison Young.

LA JOLLA – Avison Young, the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firm, announced that it has negotiated a new 12.5year, 106,760-square-foot research and development industrial lease on behalf of Airbus DS Communications in Temecula. The lease is valued at $21 million. The company, one of the world’s largest providers of mission critical communications solutions, will use the space for its North America headquarters. Avison Young principal Corey Martin represented the tenant. Avison Young principal Stan Nowak represented the landlord, Zevo Drive Holdings. Martin and Nowak are both based in the company’s La Jolla office. “Airbus is consolidating its operations from two other locations in Temecula, totaling approximately 97,500 square feet, in order to achieve better efficiencies of operation, accommodate current and future expansion needs and enhance employee collaboration. Move-in is anticipated for early 2018,” Martin said. Located at 41995 Zevo Drive, Temecula, Airbus will occupy 48 percent of the 223,360-square-foot, multi-tenant facility situated on nearly 19 acres of land. With this latest lease, the property is now 84 percent occupied. The property is atypical for the area, as it offers the ability for an 80-percent-plus-office build-out due to its high number of employee parking spaces, which are typically sought by research and development users as opposed to industrial users that require significantly less. “The Temecula industrial market is seeing a sub-2 percent industrial flex vacancy rate which posed a major

challenge to identify ideal options for the tenant,” Nowak said. “This was an off-market transaction that proved to be the best and only viable opportunity in the Temecula Valley for Airbus as it had a unique requirement of an 80 percent office build-out. Additionally, it was an ideal fit for the landlord as there are very few research and development users in the region.” The property is strategically situated near the convergence of the 215 and 15 freeways with direct access to the greater Orange County, Riverside County and San Diego County markets. Additionally, the facility is just 15 miles east of the Pacific Ocean and 4 miles west of the French Valley Airport. Promenade Regional Mall is within 1.5 miles and is home to over 100 stores including national chains, dozens of restaurants and a 15-screen Edwards Cinema. Downtown Temecula is near the property as well and offers some of the area’s best retail, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. Additional area amenities include multiple golf courses, resorts, wine country and Pechanga Resort and Casino. Airbus is leading the way in standards-based Next Generation 9-1-1, land mobile radio and emergency notification. The company is part of the Airbus business line, Secure Land Communications, providing secure radio communications worldwide. Avison Young is the world’s fastestgrowing commercial real estate services firm. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Avison Young is a collaborative, global firm owned and operated by its principals. Founded in 1978, the company comprises 2,400 real estate professionals in 79 offices, providing value-added, client-centric investment

sales, leasing, advisory, management, financing and mortgage placement services to owners and occupiers of office, retail, industrial, multi-family and hospitality properties. Airbus is a global leader in aeronautics, space and related services. In 2016, it generated revenues of 67 billion euros and employed a workforce of around 134,000. Airbus offers the most comprehensive range of passenger airliners from 100 to more

than 600 seats. Airbus is also a European leader providing tanker, combat, transport and mission aircraft, as well as Europe’s No. 1 space enterprise and the world’s second largest space business. In helicopters, Airbus provides the most efficient civil and military rotorcraft solutions worldwide. Airbus DS Communications is a global leader and trusted source for mission-critical communications technologies. The VESTA product

suite provides Next Generation 9-1-1 call processing systems, land mobile radio solutions and emergency notification applications, creating smarter ways to keep all communities safe. Airbus DS Communications was awarded the Frost and Sullivan’s 2016 Best Practices Award as the NG 9-1-1 Company of the Year. For more information, visit www.airbusdscomm.com.

Business Hemet Valley Mall celebrates remodeling completion Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

“It’s a good fit,” proud Hemet Valley Mall owner Matthew Strauss said, after cutting the ribbon to celebrate the completion of a $5 million remodeling of the mall May 20. “And I did the landscaping,” he added with a smile. Strauss, a real estate developer, and his family from Rancho Santa Fe joined Hemet and San Jacinto city officials, state government representatives and Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce members to open the main doors to the completely remodeled 30-plus-store shopping mall located at 2200 W. Florida Ave. in Hemet. Hundreds of resident shoppers followed members of the Red Tiger Kung Fu martial arts students in traditional colorful dragon dance costume dancing to the beat of a ceremonial Taiko Drum. The redecorated mall center boasted a new directional kiosk and a large television set with many tables, comfortable chairs and benches. The first 150 shoppers were handed canvas shopping bags with information and small gifts as a special welcome by the mall staff. The shoppers quickly went exploring the latest stores and merchandise, each one with a brighter inviting front and new signage than the last. The brightly lighted center aisle was lined with acres of new porcelain floor tiles. Smaller booths and kiosks, monitored with smiling salespersons and offering special buys to customers for the day. Strauss, addressing the gathering shopping crowds, said the Hemet Valley Mall has been converted from “an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan,” and suggested that even more improvements and additions will be coming to the Hemet Valley Mall. He added that the landscaping that he directed and made the purchases for “was once a Darth Vader” for people driving by at night; now they can see the entire remodeled front.

The Hemet Valley Mall underwent a multimillion dollar renovation and opened it’s doors May 20, where the first 150 shoppers received gift bags and free gift cards. Shane Gibson photos

He pointed out the large mall logo and said, “This is the Hemet Valley Mall where the sun never sets,” referring to the modern rendering of a shining sun in the newly designed logo. “I hope they will enjoy this shopping experience,” he added. Andy Anderson, CEO of the Hemet San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce, said the newly remodeled shopping center will be “a lot of great fun,” for shoppers. Hemet City Councilwoman Bonnie Wright said the Hemet Valley Mall is an “incredible wonderful thing for the community.” She said that the investment the owners have made in remodeling the older mall “is greatly appreciated.” The Hemet Valley Mall that was built in the 1980s and owned by Donahue Schriber Realty Group was purchased by M.C. Strauss who sought to make the Hemet Valley Mall a designation for shoppers both in the local communities and attract those shopping in the surrounding areas. The first step in attracting more customers to the mall was the remodeling that began last year. “This is a labor of love,” Strauss said. “This is my first and only mall I have purchased. I saw Hemet as an underserved area,” for shopping

offerings. “This will be a good competitor for other malls in the area. It is a good fit.” Daniel Weiss, director of leasing at M.C. Strauss, said the three Hemet Valley Mall anchor stores, J.C. Penney, Hobby Lobby and Sears are continuing to show good sales revenues, pleasing to their corporate headquarters. The company is working to secure another anchor store and other smaller tenants. Strauss said in his welcoming address that they are looking at a number of new projects for the 11 acres of land behind the main mall, property they purchased from the Hemet Unified School District. It is still speculative, he said, but the new projects may include a “Back Door” restaurant, a sports bar facility and perhaps the first theater with stadium seating in the city. He also hinted that there are plans to build 120 two-bedroom, two-bath apartment complex on the former school district property. A shopper, who only identified himself as “Bill,” sat on one of the comfortable benches in the mall’s center aisle. He said he thought the owners “did a really good job,” with the remodeling. “It looks really great,” but he said he was critical of the city not putting enough develop-

ment emphasis on the mall area of the city in the past and hoped that would change. GNC Nutrition store manager Tony Alvarado said of the new remodel, “I love it. I really like the new look. Love the remodeling.” He said he hoped the owners would follow through with their plans to expand the mall. Other speakers and those attending the Hemet Valley Mall remodel ribbon cutting included: Hemet Councilwoman Karlee Meyer, San Jacinto Mayor Scott Miller, San Jacinto City Councilwoman Crystal

Ruiz, Assemblyman Chad Mayes, RCA 42, field representative Rosiliche Bogh, a representative of Sen. Mike Morrell, Hemet Valley Mall Manager Shella Lizardi, chamber officers and many others. The doors at Hemet Valley Mall, 2200 W. Florida Ave., open at 8 a.m. daily for mall walkers with stores opening from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays.

SJUSD installs solar systems SAN JACINTO – San Jacinto Unified School District announced its solar panel installation project, featuring carports and solar canopy structures, is now complete at all nine designated school sites. Two school sites feature battery storage. Over the lifetime of the solar Power Purchase Agreement, SJUSD is expected to save more than $9 million with the system generating 4.4 million kilowatt hours of solar energy annually from the school site installations. A “Flip the Switch” event to commemorate the completion and change to a new metering system was held May 2 at Mountain View High School. The district’s board of trustees authorized the solar projects June 2016, recognizing funds normally spent on energy costs could go back into education programs and appreciating that the use of solar arrays will help avoid more than 35,800 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. The school sites featured in the solar project are Juan Batista De Anza Elementary, Jose Antonio Estudillo Elementary, Megan Cope Elementary, Park Hill Elementary, Clayton A. Record, Jr. Elementary, Monte Vista Middle, North Mountain Middle Mountain View High and San Jacinto High School.

“Our ‘First Class Facilities’ action group, formed to focus on maintaining and improving district facilities in a high state of readiness and capacity to maximize the learning environment, was pleased to promote and monitor this project,” Seth Heeren, SJUSD’s assistant superintendent of business services, said. “We are especially interested in the battery storage capacity installed as part of this project, both at North Mountain Middle and San Jacinto High School.” The solar and battery storage systems were built at no up-front cost to the district. The district pays for the electricity produced by the system at a fixed rate that is expected to be lower than what the utility company is currently charging. “The use of the battery storage system during peak demand times at two of our large energy-using sites is very exciting,” Korey Lawson, SJUSD’s energy education manager, said. “We all have experienced those high rates at our homes, when the need for electricity is high, and it will be great to realize some savings in these upcoming hotter months.” For more information about the new solar and battery storage systems, contact Lawson at klawson@ sanjacinto.k12.ca.us.

tion for the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. “Murrieta Valley High School is a special place that is doing extraordinary work in preparing all students for life after high school,” Mooney said. “It has been my honor to have had the opportunity to lead such an amazing school and be a part of the Nighthawk family.” “Eric has been an outstanding leader at Murrieta Valley, and we are sorry to see him leave,” Kelley said. “We wish him all the best in his new position where he will continue to make excellent contributions to student learning.”

Mark Pettengill will be the new principal at Murrieta Valley High School. Pettengill has been the principal at Shivela Middle School for the last three years. Previously, he was the deputy principal at Vista Murrieta, and he was an assistant principal at Murrieta Valley High School for six years. “I look forward to returning to Murrieta Valley High School to unite with friends, colleagues and community members,” Pettengill said. “While I am sad to say ‘goodbye’ to my Shivela family, I look forward to being a Nighthawk once again and serving the school community and supporting students.” Pettengill has been an educator for 34 years.

Registration opens for high school acceleration and enrichment classes TEMECULA – The Temecula Education Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the nearly 30,000 students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, is pleased to announce that its list of proposed classes for Summer 2017 high school acceleration and enrichment, known as TEF Summer High School, is now online at www. temeculaeducationfoundation.org. Online class registration opened May 1 and closes May 31. There are no refunds for any courses after June 6. Classes will be held at Chaparral High School, 27215 Nicolas Road in Temecula. The summer school classes offer high school students, including current eighth-graders who will be high school freshmen in August, an opportunity to get a head start on their 2017-2018 high school classes. Students also can prepare for the rigors of high school algebra or advanced level chemistry by taking enrichment boot camps. Temecula Education Foundation is pleased to continue its collabora-

tion with TVUSD to provide this opportunity for students. Among the proposed classes are ceramics, geometry, Spanish 1, 2 and 3, world history, economics and government. All for-credit classes meet University of California “A-G” entrance requirements. To help give students an advantage before tackling regular school-year classes, workshops for practice only and not for credit will be offered in pre-advanced placement or international baccalaureate chemistry and algebra I “boot camp” workshops. The AP and IB course are college-level classes which are generally more demanding. Back for its fourth year is the algebra I boot camp, which is designed to help students transition from middle to high school by reviewing and helping them understand basic algebraic concepts and mathematics standards. Fee-based acceleration and enrichment classes are sponsored by Temecula Education Foundation, with TVUSD serving as the ac-

Area residents inducted Upshaw graduates Navy into Phi Kappa Phi BATON ROUGE, La. – Four Valley residents were initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Riannon Curwood of Menifee and Danielle Turner of Temecula were initiated at California State University Fullerton. Shanda Brennan of Menifee and Caylie Kindsfather of Murrieta were initiated at California State University San Bernardino. These residents are among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5

percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of Marcus L. Urann, who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is “to recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.”

Temecula Valley Hospital expansion serving greater emergency medical treatment needs Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The 140-bed, five story Temecula Valley Hospital, one of the newest in the Valley, includes a 21-bed Emergency Department, which is greatly needed in the Valley. TVH has reduced wait time for stroke patients needing a brain scan to less than 45 minutes far below other state and national hospitals. This fact and other positive results of patients passing through TVH’s Emergency Room is revealed in ProPublica’s “ER Wait Watcher” survey made in the local area. TVH. located at 31700 Temecula Parkway, in Temecula offers not only fast emergency room help but other featured services including; bloodless medicine, cardiology, cardiovascular surgery, gastroenterology, nutritional services, orthopedics, outpatient services, palliative care, stroke services and surgery. This month TVH broke ground

on its first expansion project since opening in October 2013. This project will allow TVH to expand cardiovascular and stroke service while advancing the capabilities of these programs. The first floor expansion project include two catheterization (cath) labs, seven post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) bays, seven pre/ postoperative care bays, a neuro biplane room, an endovascular hybrid operating room, a new CT scanner and a community room for educational presentations and events. “These additions will help TVH better meet the needs of the growing community and allow the hospital to bring advanced care to residents,” said Marcia Jackson, TVH director of business development. TVH, owned and operated by a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc., has received many awards and recognitions, including being named the Platinum Business of the Year 2016 by the

Temecula Chamber of Commerce and receiving an “A” Grade for Patient Safety in fall 2016 and again in 2017 by Leapfrog Hospital Safety Awards. TVH is designated as a STEMi Receiving Center and Stroke Receiving Center by Riverside County Emergency Medical Services Agency and San Diego County Emergency Medical Services; Advanced Primary Stroke Center accreditation by the Joint Commission; and American Heart Association/American Stroke Association “Get with the GuidelinesStroke Gold Quality Achievement Award with Target; Stroke Honor Roll Elite. Excellent patient care is provided by TVH with 300 affiliated physicians, over 600 employees and 170 dedicated volunteers. TVH offers major specialty services, including open heart surgery through a clinical collaboration agreement with UC San Diego Health. Patients themselves are treated as an integral part of the care team, encouraged to collaborate with doc-

tors and nurses in making decisions that affect their care. There are no restrictions on visiting hours, and families are invited to participate in the process. In 2014 shortly after the hospital opened, TVH was recognized by the Design-Build Institute of America Western-Pacific Region with a Merit Design-Build award. The awards program acknowledged the most outstanding designbuild projects in the Western Pacific region area by promoting and recognizing the use and efficiency of design-build as a project delivery method. The unique design of the building enhances patient care by placing the patient rooms in a circle around the nurses’ station in the center of the patient rooms all around it allowing the doctors more time with patient visits. All the rooms in the hospital are private complete with a bedside clinical information system, wire4less cardiac monitoring, emergency services with bedside

registration 24 hours a day, room service dining on demand, 24-hour visitation is allowed and décor featuring works by local photographers. In addition, TVH has the cardiac catheterization lab/interventional suite, meditation areas, an outdoor dining area and homelike waiting areas for family and friends. Leading TVH’s mission to deliver exceptional and compassionate patient care, transform the health care experience with compassion, trust, courage and innovation is Darlene Wetton, Chief CEO of TVH with her team. The leadership consists of Jared Amerson, CEO; Glen Christensen, CFO; Kate DiDonato, chief nursing officer; Marcia Jackson, director of business development; and Lori Hamilton, director of human resources.

Nine tips to keep your child safe around water this summer TEMECULA – Few things are as much fun as splashing around at the beach or in a backyard pool, but not every child is confident about taking the plunge. “For some children, the idea of getting in the water and trying to swim can be a bit frightening,” K.J. Hales said. Hakes is the author of “It’s Hard to Swim,” the second and most recent addition to the “Life’s Little Lessons by Ellie the Wienerdog” educational picture book series. “But with the proper positive reinforcement, they can overcome their fears and discover just how much fun swimming can be.” May is National Water Safety Month, a good time for parents to consider teaching their children

how to swim. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports swimming lessons for most children four years and older. Water safety classes can also reduce the risk of drowning in younger children, the pediatric group reports but advises that because children develop at different rates, not all children will be ready to swim at the same age. Hales, who offers teachers’ guides and educational activities to go along with the lessons in her books, said she chose swimming as one of Ellie the Wienerdog’s adventures because it’s a valuable skill that all children should learn. “Most children are around water in some form, whether it’s a pool, a river, a pond, a lake or the ocean,” she said. “So learning to swim isn’t

just for fun. It’s also important for safety.” The Pediatric Academy cites several water-safety tips for parents. Never – even for a moment – leave small children alone or in the care of another young child while in bathtubs, pools, spas, wading pools or near irrigation ditches or standing water. Empty water from buckets and other containers immediately after use. To prevent drowning in toilets, young children should not be left alone in the bathroom. Closely supervise children in and around water. With infants, toddlers and weak swimmers, an adult should be within an arm’s length. With older children and

better swimmers, an adult should be focused on the child and not distracted by other activities. Bath seats cannot substitute for adult supervision. If children are in out-of-home child care, ask about exposure to water and the ratio of adults to children. If you have a pool, install a four-sided fence that is at least 4-feet high to limit access to the pool. The fence should be hard to climb, not chain-link and have a self-latching, self-closing gate. Families may consider pool alarms and rigid pool covers as additional layers of protection, but neither can take the place of a fence. Parents, caregivers and pool owners should learn CPR.

Do not use air-filled swimming aids, such as inflatable arm bands, in place of life jackets. They can deflate and are not designed to keep swimmers safe. All children should wear a life jacket when riding in a boat. Small children and non-swimmers should also wear one at water’s edge, on a river bank or pier. “When Ellie finally swims, she realizes that learning something new is wonderful, and if you give it a try, you can do anything you wish,” Hales said. “This is a lesson I hope all children will take to heart, not only when learning to swim, but also when facing any challenge that comes their way.” For more information, visit www. ellietheweinerdog.com.

Is the anti-gluten frenzy as enemy of good health about to be countered by a pro-wheat comeback? Dr. John Douillard SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Americans at one time lived their lives utterly unconcerned about the gluten in their diets. But an antigluten craze that erupted in the last decade has become so prominent that it spawned a $16-billion-a-year industry. Gluten became branded as the

enemy of good health, bestselling books scared the public away from wheat and foods marketed as gluten-free popped up everywhere. But it’s time everyone takes a deep breath and re-evaluates this whole “wheat-is-a-villain” attitude. Wheat was found guilty without a fair trial, and there are risks when we just blindly take a food that people have eaten for 3.5 million

years and remove it from our diets. I’m ready to lead the charge in the opposite direction, although I also acknowledge that avoiding gluten is the right move for certain people. May, for example, is Celiac Awareness Month, which brings attention to the genetic autoimmune disease that damages the small intestine. People with celiac disease should

Every life has meaning.

Every day has joy.

avoid gluten; there’s no doubt about that, but for the greater majority of people, the anti-gluten frenzy has gone too far and needs to dial it back. Far from being a dinner-table scoundrel, wheat can be beneficial, helping to lower the risk of diabetes, obesity and Alzheimer’s disease. The real problem is that processed foods have changed our digestive systems. That’s why people often feel bad when they eat wheat. But taking foods out of the diet won’t fix what processed foods have done to your system. That just kicks the problem down the road, leaving people at risk for more serious health concerns later on. So if going wheat-free isn’t the answer, what can you do to begin to improve your digestive system? That can get complicated, but I have a few suggestions to get people started in the right direction. Eat more fiber. Aim for 50 grams of fiber in your diet each day. Make half your plate green vegetables, one-fourth starch and another onefourth protein. Increase the amount of beans you eat. Of course, beans can be difficult for some people to digest, but one easily digestible bean is the split yellow mung bean. As your digestion improves, you can reintroduce other beans. Drink water between meals. The brain’s relationship with the rest of the body can be a funny thing. When people are dehydrated, the signals to the brain often get trans-

lated as hunger signals. So people scarf down an unhealthy snack when they should be reaching for a glass of water. A good guideline is to drink 16 ounces of water 30 minutes before each meal. Don’t overeat. Perhaps it can be traced back to our mothers telling us to eat every bite, but people have a tendency to eat until their plates are empty rather than stopping when they’re full. It’s better to stop even before you’re full. About threefourths full is the way to go. Your digestive strength is the key to a long, healthy and vital life. Whether you eat gluten shouldn’t be decided for you because of weak digestion. It should be decided by you based on what you prefer.

Health

Helping your child reach a healthy weight The American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

The percentage of children who are overweight, or even obese, is still very high. And while most parents are anxious to try and help their children get to a healthier weight, it can be a difficult task to accomplish. However, it’s a goal for which it is worth striving. Overweight children often have self-esteem issues, face teasing or bullying and are at increased risk for a variety of health issues.

One starting point is to realize that reminding the child of their weight often makes the problem worse. An overweight child is well aware of the issue, and constant reminders, especially from a parent, can leave them feeling ugly, hopeless and unloved. Such negative emotions often lead to emotional eating as a means to temporarily minimize those feelings. Often, what seems like help, such as simply reminding your child to eat healthier, can feel like nagging. Other actions, like pushing a child to be more active

in sports or playing “food police” by controlling or restricting what can or can’t be eaten, can also produce negative reactions. So how can a parent really help? Start with a frank, nonjudgmental discussion with your child about their feelings. Let the child identify negative messages you may have been sending, usually unintentionally. Try to respond to any negative feelings the child may have with positive, sincere messages. It’s also important to set an example. If you’re eating healthier yourself, it will be easier for your

child to do the same. You may also want to encourage more exercise by again setting the example yourself. Encourage your child to be more active by doing things together. Take after-dinner walks or bike rides together. Have a game of catch with a baseball or kick a soccer ball around the yard together. There are many easy ways to spend time with your child while also burning a few calories. Most importantly, provide your child with healthy food choices. Children often have different eating patterns than their parents. That after-school snack can be

important. If a bowl of fruit is available, you’re giving your child a better choice than providing a box of cookies or a bag of chips. Weight loss is never easy. Compliment your child on even small moves in the right direction. Most importantly, be sure to offer love and support, not criticism. “Counseling Corner” is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Professional counselors offer help to many The American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Too many people know only one aspect of the counseling profession and may be unaware of all that professional counselors have to offer. In many cases, the only contact a family may have had was with a school counselor when their children were in elementary, junior or high school. Yet while the counseling profession includes school counselors, they’re only one part of the profession. For starters, it’s important to understand that professional counselors must complete quite a bit of specialized education before they can work in the counseling field. All professional counselors today

hold at least a master’s degree, and growing numbers have earned doctoral degrees. In addition, as part of their education, they have typically spent at least 3,000 hours in supervised clinics to earn their license. As part of their education and training, most professional counselors specialize in specific areas of counseling. They may focus on wellness, on career development, on relationship issues, on working with children or in any of the many other areas in which people may need help. And help is what counselors have to offer. Often people are under the mistaken impression that when someone sits down with a professional counselor, the counselor is going to tell the person how to

change and how to live their life. The reality is that counselors don’t dictate to their clients, but rather they assist clients in discovering what issues are concerning them and what alternatives there might be to overcome problems and to develop solutions. Yes, some people who work with a professional counselor may be facing severe lifestyle or mental health issues, but the majority of the clients with whom counselors work are just regular people who are looking for help with everyday issues. Maybe the person is unhappy in their career, maybe they have relationship issues or maybe the person is feeling depressed without really know why. Working with a counselor is a means for finding answers that are often difficult

to discover on one’s own. Finding a professional counselor to work with isn’t difficult to do. Your physician or local mental health center can usually make recommendations. The American Counseling Association’s website also offers a free referral service to locate a counselor in your area. It’s online at www.counseling.org/ findacounselor. Visiting the website could be the first step in finding professional assistance to a happier and more fulfilling life. Counseling Corner is provided by the American Counseling Association.

Lefse is the Norwegian version of the tortilla. Made with potatoes, it is most commonly spread with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar to be eaten as a snack or dessert. In America, lefse making is a Christmas holiday custom for many families. Norwegians also use lefse to wrap around hotdogs, especially on their Independence Day, Syttende Mai (May 17). Fallbrook resident and Daughters of Norway Grand Lodge president Janna Wold Armbruster presented “The Art of Making Norwegian Lefse” for Hulda Garborg Lodge’s March program. Ingredients 6 cups riced russet or old potatoes 1 tablespoon Crisco 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons half-and-half cream or carnation milk 2 cups flour or thereabouts depending on humidity

While the ingredients are simple, there are many steps to the recipe that need to be done “just so” over two days. Russet or old potatoes are peeled, washed and cut into equal size pieces for cooking until just done. “Do not overcook as the potatoes hold too much water and will make your dough sticky,” she said. If undercooked, though, they won’t go through the ricer. While the cooked potato pieces are still warm, they are spooned into a ricer (see photo) and “riced”, six cups at a time. All the ingredients except flour are mixed in with the riced potatoes and put into a large bowl which should be covered with a tea towel or plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight. Armbruster provided samples of the various stages of lefse – from the best size to cut the potatoes to having dough already made and ready to roll (as well as having the finished product for tasting). The flour is mixed into the potato dough the next day, one cup of each at a

time. “Add just a little bit more of the flour until the dough starts to bounce back,” she said. The dough is then rolled by hand into a log shape, cut into equal parts and roll into balls. With the lefse grill heating up, Armbruster explained that it is important to use the right kind of rolling pin, (one covered with a ‘sock’), and a lefse rolling board with pastry cloth covering. She rubs flour into both the sock on the rolling pin and into the pastry cloth on the board to keep the dough from sticking. Each ball of dough is formed into a small pancake. “As round as you can get it,” she said. After placing the pancake in the middle of the rolling board, she showed how to roll it out as thin as possible, “somewhat transparent”. A special tool is used to place the thin lefse on the griddle, and to turn it over. She advised that the best lefse turning sticks are made of hard wood, like maple. As each lefse is done cooking, it is placed

especially after freezing.” The weather and humidity will determine how much flour is needed. “Do not make lefse on a rainy day as the humidity makes for a terribly sticky dough,” she said. After they’ve cooled off, lefse should be wrapped well to store in the refrigerator or sealed in zip lock bags to freeze. Out of the refrigerator, or when thawed, warm slightly in the microwave before serving them.

in between folded tea towels to keep warm. After rolling each lefse, Armbruster recommended reseasoning the rolling board with a little flour and after baking each lefse, wipe the griddle off with a wet wash cloth to remove excess flour or any sticky parts. The lefse stick should also be wiped constantly with a dry cloth. “Sometimes you need to lightly sand off the end of your lefse stick with sandpaper to keep it smooth,” she added. According to Armbruster, “The less flour you use the more moist and wonderful your lefse will be,

Texas Lil’s serves up barbecue and so much more in Temecula’s Old Town

Texas Lil’s Mesquite Grill in Old Town Temecula is open seven days a week and offers the finest in Tex-Mex specialties, ribs, steaks, fish, burgers and sandwiches. Texas Lil’s photo

From breakfast, to Mexican, to the barbecue they’re famous for, there’s something for everyone at Texas Lil’s Mesquite Grill. “You haven’t done Old Town unless you’ve done Texas Lil’s,” Becky Walton, who runs the restaurant along with her husband, Ron, said. “We’ve been here for 30 years, family owned and operated continuously for about 30 years. People visit us whether you’re young, old or in between.” Becky says the restaurant attracts diverse demographics depending on the time of day. In the morning, the crowd trends older, she said. As the day progresses into evening, the younger customers start coming in. “It really does fluctuate, but everyone seems to get along pretty well,” Becky said. The restaurant is also dog-friendly, she said. “Canines drink free, H20 only,” she said with a chuckle. She offered to show off her own dog, a Bichon named Buck, as an example. “He’s our mascot,” she said. The restaurant even offers a dog menu, which includes a choice of a rib bone, chicken breast, hamburger patty or hot dog. With the diverse crowd comes a similar diversity in menu items. There are 85 in total, Becky said. “It’s really hard to nail it down to one item,” she said. “We have really good Mexican food, which I know is kind of surprising. Our barbecue is really good and our burgers are delicious, too.” Texas Lil’s also offers 16 craft beers on tap. There are selections from Pizza Port, Ballast Point and others. The Waltons opened Texas Lil’s in January 1987. And it’s hardly Ron’s first go-around at the restau-

rant business. By his estimate, he’s owned about 30 since 1962, when he opened a 1,500-square-foot beer bar on the corner of 138th Street and Inglewood Avenue in Hawthorne, California. “I was 23 years old and I opened it just as a fluke,” Ron said. “The kid I was living with, his mom had the restaurant and the people in there had closed down for booking bets.” He borrowed $1,500 to get the place going, and sold it for $9,000 nine months later to the same people who loaned him the money. “Seemed like a lot of money in 1963, so I went and bought a brandnew Corvette stingray when it first came out,” he said. At that point, he liked the restaurant industry so much he decided to give another one a shot. “I went to Carson and found a closed restaurant,” Ron said. “I opened it up and turned it into the Whale House, and from there it was just one restaurant after another.” The restaurant business has been good to him over the years, he says. It’s gotten all of his kids through college and afforded him a nice living. “I enjoy being with people and doing the service business, and over the years it’s created a lot of wonderful friends” he said. Among the friends the business has created for him: his own wife. The two met while she was working under him at one of the many restaurants he’s owned. “We kind of hit it off right from the get-go and have been married for 34 years now,” he said. When diners first enter Texas Lil’s they are greeted by country western décor, happy servers and best of all, the mouthwatering smell of delicious barbecue coming from the open kitchen. Texas Lil’s Mesquite Grill serves Tex-Mex specialties, ribs, steaks, fish, burgers and sandwiches. Come

in for dinner to try the new barbecue feast. Featuring a choice of half rack of baby back ribs or beef ribs, a quarter of the herb roasted chicken, your choice of barbecue pulled pork or brisket and served with crispy fries or Tater Tots and choice of coleslaw or mac & cheese with Texas cornbread, this is one dish sure to leave you feeling full. Some of the favorites on the Tex Mex menu include enchiladas, fish tacos and T.J. Street tacos. All are served with Cilantro Lime Rice and refried beans. If you are an early riser on the weekends, then be sure to stop by Texas Lil’s for their famous Country Brunch served Saturdays, Sundays and most holiday Mondays from 9-11:30 a.m. Try the Frittata Tex-Mex or the new Chilaquiles, a tempting dish with crispy corn tortilla chips sautéed in red or green sauce and tossed with Mexican Cotija cheese, diced onion, cilantro and sour cream and topped with two eggs cooked to order. If you are really hungry, add some country ham, bacon or sausage on the side to start your day off right. Don’t forget about Texas Lil’s “Best Damn Happy Hour” in Old Town, Monday to Thursday open to close, and Fridays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Karaoke at Lil’s Fridays and Saturdays from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. For more information on Texas Lil’s, including their catering service and full menu, visit them online at www.texaslilsmesquitegrill. com or call (951) 699-5457.

His music echoes classic jazz and blues with worldwide musical influences. Outside of his public performances, Brown leads a busy life,

working as the interim dean of arts, humanities and social sciences at Mt. San Jacinto College and creating new compositions. He released his first album as the quintet’s leader in 2014. He is known for his compositions “Minotaur” and “Koja.” During the intermission, guests are invited to enjoy the gallery of art works created by local artists. Another special summer event at the Center, free to patrons and art lovers, will be June 24 when delightful readings of poetry, fine art displays and music will be featured at the Kelsay Books Poetry Event from noon to 4 p.m. Presenting their poetry and prose

Cost is $25 for general admission and $10 for students at the door. The admission includes two glasses of wine or other beverages. The Diamond Valley Arts Council, founded in 2004, is an organization dedicated to promoting

awareness of the activities, events and venues for enjoying and participating in the various forms of artistic expression and cultural opportunities available to our community. Through partnerships with individuals, arts- and culturerelated groups and local businesses, as well as civic and governmental agencies, the council strives to develop programs and create opportunities which stimulate and enrich the cultural, economic and intellectual life of the community. The council is concerned about improving positive quality of life issues for the community to experience. These goals and ideals are summarized in their motto,

“Advancing the Arts – Creating Community.” DVAC also works closely with other local and regional nonprofit organizations, civic groups, businesses, local and county governmental agencies to shape a community with a strong emphasis on the arts. Their efforts have been successful in having arts and culture elements added to the general plans of Hemet and San Jacinto.

The ranch, located in Anza countryside at 42525 La Brina Lane, is operated by the Roberts who care for eight gentle horses named Spyder, Philbert, Pumpkin, Deacon,

Simon, Dylan, Duke and Blaze. Each horse enjoys the company of the riders who can curry and comb them, take them for a ride on the nearby Pacific Crest Trail, get to know the gentle creatures and forget the things of the past. “The horses are the therapy,” Johnny Roberts said, who has been instrumental in helping veterans, returning and active, for six years through Manzanita Ranch, Concerts for Heroes, the Memorial Wall in Temecula and other area veterans activities. The Roberts asked the veterans, caregivers or family to join them at the ranch in remembering those who have given their lives for their country and those who remain in

conflicts all over the world. “We’ll bring the meat; you bring the sides,” Johnny Roberts said. The veterans who haven’t visited the ranch have an opportunity to meet the horses firsthand. “The horses will adore you if you bring carrots and treats,” he said. The ranch brochure invited veterans and guests to meet the horses who provide therapy, get to know the other ranch supporters, enjoy the music and food and participate in a horseshoe tournament.

Valley Beautiful’s Ramona Bowl Garden Festival draws many Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM

Dozens of gardening enthusiasts took advantage of a series of informative garden workshops Saturday, May 20, during the second Ramona Bowl Garden Festival sponsored by Valley Beautiful and the University of California Master Gardeners of Riverside County. During the fundraiser for the maintenance of the gardens at the Ramona Bowl, located at 2700 Ramona Bowl Road in Hemet, Hemet Depot and Estudillo Gardens in San Jacinto brought experts in different areas of gardening. There were many types of plants, decorative landscaping, and plant care to conduct workshops for those interested. The workshops included talks on butterfly gardens by Christine Lampe; edible landscaping by Laura Simpson; fruit trees by David Contreras; and irrigation techniques by Thurman Howard. Booths manned by local nursery employees, farmers, university botanists and other professional gardeners explained beekeeping and honey; birdhouses; composting and raising worms, native and historic plants and their uses, children’s fairy gardens, decorative gourds and community supported agriculture and water conservation. Also on hand was Sherri Domenigoni, Local author and Plein Air artist talking about her art and children’s books. Visitors also had an opportunity to tour the Ramona Bowl grounds and ranch building where the state’s official outdoor play “Ramona” is held each year. Ramona Bowl and Estudillo Mansion docent Lynn Peterson conducted the tours. The Ramona Bowl Museum and Gift Shop and Ramona Bowl concessions remained open during the festival. The special event is in its second year sponsored by the nonprofit Valley Beautiful. Valley Beautiful members maintain the landscaping and maintenance around the historic Ramona Bowl, the Estudillo Gardens near the Estudillo Mansion, and the landscaping around the old Hemet Train Depot and Destination Coffee Shop & Bistro on Florida Avenue. Diane Boss, from Valley Beautiful, during the festival that was last held in 2003, said the festival proceeds from the sale of plants by members, festival admissions, lectures and tours helps the ladies of organization maintain the gardens at the historic sites in the Valley. The well maintained gardens allow visitors to sites to relax and enjoy the gardens. In recent years Valley Beautiful which was initially

established in 1964 to keep Hemet and San Jacinto’s heritage oaks and other trees, is now is focusing its attention on maintaining the gardens and promoting the use of “water wise” plants by residents and local cities. The dedicated ladies of Valley Beautiful gather on different days of the week to maintain, plant and weed the local historic gardens.

Preparing Wildomar residents for wildfires WILDOMAR – As the 2017 summer months near, the City of Wildomar and Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department will soon be conducting annual hazard reduction inspections. Wildomar residents are urged to remain compliant in providing defensible space around their home and property and to use the proper equipment the right way at the right time when clearing grass and vegetation. The City of Wildomar Fire Code (CFC) Section 4907.1 states, “Buildings and structures within the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones of a Local Responsibility Area (LRA) shall maintain defensible space as outlined in a Government Code 51175 – 51189 and any local ordinance of the authority having jurisdiction.” Lawnmowers, weed-eaters, trimmers, chain saws, grinders, welders and tractors, when not used properly or too late in the day,

adds significant risk to starting an equipment-caused fire. The following safety tips when clearing are in place for your safety and should be adhered to at all times. Get an early start! Clearing grass and vegetation should be started before 10 a.m. After 10 a.m., temperatures rise, humidity drops and winds increase. It is NOT worth taking the risk of starting a fire! Mowers are designed to cut green lawns and grasses. Never use mowers in dry vegetation. Before mowing or disking, walk the area and remove rocks and debris before using mowers or clearing tools/equipment. A rock or large debris hidden in tall grass could ignite a fire if struck by a metal blade. If the area is too rocky, do not use metal blade equipment to clear dry vegetation. Spark arrestors are required on all portable, gasoline-powered equipment; including tractors, harvesters, chain saws, weed-

eaters, mowers, motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles. Keep exhaust systems, spark arresters and mowers in proper working order and free from carbon buildup. Use recommended fuels and do not “top off” fuel tanks. Keep motorized equipment engines free of oil and dust. Hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can easily start fires that you may not see until it is too late! Do not pull off roadways into tall, dry grass. When operating a tractor, always look behind you to make sure the blade has not struck a rock or object that may ignite a fire. Keep a cellphone, water, a shovel and a fire extinguisher with you in the event a fire starts. If a fire starts, call 9-1-1 immediately! When clearing vacant parcels, create a firebreak by clearing the perimeter of the lot first and work toward the middle.

Prevent household poisonings with simple steps TEMECULA – People never want to think of their homes as dangerous places, but the average home has its share of hazards. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 38,000 people in the United States lost their lives to unintentional poisonings in 2014, while Express Scripts Canada reports that poisoning is the fourth-leading cause of injury deaths among Canadians of all ages. While the statistics about poisoning deaths are alarming, the good news is that such deaths are preventable. The CDC, in conjunction with the American Association of Poison Control Centers, offers the following poison-prevention tips. For medications, take only prescriptions that are prescribed by a health care professional. Never take another person’s medication, and do not take longer or more frequent doses than prescribed, especially with regard to pain medications. Read all warning labels on medication bottles and read the additional one or two pages of information that accompany the prescription. Make sure to take the appropriate dosage; turn on the light when taking medications and dispose of unused, unneeded or expired medications. For household chemicals, read all labels before using household products that contain chemicals, such as cleaners and disinfectants. Keep all products in their original containers with readily available access to the ingredients and directions whenever using the products. Such information can save lives should someone be poisoned or ingest a

potentially deadly product. Never mix products that contain chemicals, as doing so can create toxic gases. Open windows and turn on ceiling fans or box fans when using household cleaners. Do not use such products in enclosed spaces. Wear protective eyewear and clothing when using chemicals or pesticides to safeguard the body from exposure. Safe storage practices of these products are recommended. All medications and household products should be stored in places that cannot be reached or accessed by children or pets. When taking medications or using household products, keep children nearby to answer the phone or when the doorbell is ringing. Even if the medicine or product will only be out of sight for a moment that brief moment is enough time for curious children to be poisoned. Consider the disposal methods and follow the guidelines on the packaging with regard to the disposal of chemical products. When disposing of medications, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration advises taking advantage of community-based drug “take-back” programs. If no such program exists, the FDA notes that almost all medicines can be discarded in the trash, but advises following the drug disposal guidelines available at www.fda.gov. Thousands die each year due to unintentional poisonings, but men and women can take various steps to prevent those deaths from occurring in their homes.

Read this before you visit your first model new home! Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

When shopping for your home, you’ll discover that most homes on the market are resales. Yet, one out of four homebuyers purchase a new home. Both new homes and resales offer advantages. Before you make a decision, let’s, . Compare these points! New homes offer innovative use of space and style, greater energy efficiency, a choice of options and upgrades, everything is new and modern. Existing Homes on average are less expensive, are often in established neighborhoods with mature landscaping, and have already settled, eliminating possible problems that arise from this happening after the purchase of home As you can see, there are advantages to both. Most people consider both new and existing homes before they decide to purchase. Should you be thinking about buying a new house, here are 10 points to consider before you visit your first model home. Determine a comfortable price range. Before you visit your first model home, sit down with your agent and do your homework. You’ll want to be prepared so that you can determine a comfortable price range for your new home. If you own a home, you’ll first need to know the net proceeds from its sale in to determine how much cash you’ll have to work with. Don’t simply estimate this but carefully, calculate every possible selling cost. If you’re a first-time buyer, you’ll need to first qualify your income. Determine the size of your down payment, then work out a monthly debt load so you can determine a comfortable price range. Sellers’ agents versus buyers’ agents. Here’s a good point to remember. The sales agent in the model home represents the builder, not you. They are known as sellers’ agents. As a buyer, you can work with a buyers’ agent at no additional cost. It’s his/ her business to best represent your needs by being knowledgeable about

home construction, warranties, financing, differences in pricing, quality, even lot selection so that you get the best value for your money. A builder for all reasons Like all tradesmen, builders vary in their fields of expertise. For example, there are builders who specialize in craftsmanship, others who are known for their innovative use of space and those who offer below-market financing or customer attention during construction and after move-in. Determine your own specific needs or preferences then shop around for a builder that will best address your requirements. Get the facts about your builder. Before making a final decision, it is wise to check out the reputation and financial strength of the builder. Get “spec sheets” on home features covering everything from floor plans to energy efficiency, including lot availability and delivery of your home. Check out the neighborhood. Learn as much as you can about the community. Discover what amenities it offers. Investigate if financial reserves have been set aside to build or replace major amenities like schools or community roads. Find out from local land-use officials what else is planned or could be constructed in the area, especially where vacant land is applicable. Review the rules for the homeowner’s association, or find out if one will be set up and think of how you will be affected by commuting routes and times. Choosing options and upgrades. The less expensive the base price of the house is, the more options and upgrades you can add without fear of overpricing it for the neighborhood. Options are items the builder installs during construction, such as adding usable space like a sunroom or a powder room. These features can add the most to the resale value of your home. Upgrading means selecting quality above “builder standard” such as carpeting, ceramics, detailing, kitchen fixtures and appliances. Be sure to take advantage of builder incentives that offer free upgrades or credit off the sale price. Remember, you can add a deck, finished basement or landscaping later and sometimes for less money.

Negotiations. Often buyers don’t realize that there may be room for negotiating price, upgrades or options. For example, you have some scope for negotiating with the builder if he/she has a completed a home but hasn’t sold it. Also, some “premium lots” are priced higher and are sometimes saved to be sold last. Keep in mind that typically, all lots cost the builder the same, so be sure to inquire about lot pricing. Builders may offer discounts or special financing to help close a sale. Be sure the contract works in your favor! When spelling out the particulars of an agreement with your builder, ensure you protect yourself by having safeguards written into the agreement, such as; placing your deposit in escrow, detailing your upgrades, allowing you access to the construction site to check on progress, a 30-day advance notice of the closing date and an explanation of what the fine print means in the warranties of the builder and manufacturer. Financing - What’s best for you? Some builders, especially in highvolume communities that place large numbers of loans, can offer special financing packages. However, because “home loan” lending is highly competitive, you have many financing choices other than those being offered by the builder. Shop around for everything, from rates to lender fees. Appraisals, inspections, and closing fees can vary as well. Just because it’s new, doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Yes, it’s new and typically it’s built with modern materials that are durable, low maintenance, stronger, quieter, and safer. But because nothing is perfect, even if it’s new, consider hiring a reputable, licensed home inspector. Then create a builder “punch list”, from what you’ve learned to address any problems before closing. Consider budgeting for items to be modified or added later. Many new home buyers use a real estate agent to help them negotiate the best price and terms with the builder. Buyer advantages your builder may not reveal!

builders offer financing incentives or free options. This may be done in place of chopping prices to appeal to buyers purchasing later in the building phase. An immediate delivery home is an advantageous way to purchase a home if you need to move in quickly, or need a physical space to walk through and see before you sign a contract. Be sure to enquire. Call us today, (951) 296-8887 and get the information you need enabling you to make an informed, educated decision. Questions regarding available inventory and/or other real estate matters please contact, Mike@ GoTakeAction.com. Mike Mason, Realtor® & Broker/Owner of MASON Real Estate.

Here’s a fact that you may not be aware of, some builders have newly-constructed homes available for immediate delivery. Usually these homes are ready to move into within 30 days. Even if some builders are eager to sell, they’ll probably keep that knowledge to themselves. Immediate delivery homes are often available for various reasons: the community, where new homes are being constructed is nearly complete, so the builder proceeds to have the on-site-contractors build “spec” homes (homes built on speculation for sale) on the last lots; the model home is for sale; the contract on a home has fallen through; or builders include constructing homes for immediate delivery for buyers who are relocating or who have sold their previous home and need one to move into quickly. Immediate delivery homes may be more desirable because, sometimes

Real Estate / Home & Garden Funding approved for low-flow meter at Skinner Treatment Plant Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California supplies water to the San Diego County Water Authority from MWD’s Skinner treatment plant, and the SDCWA will be funding the installation of a low-flow meter at the Skinner treatment plant. An April 27 SDCWA board action authorized the installation of the lowflow meter for Pipeline 4 and also authorized the expenditure of $2,630,000 which will cover design, equipment acquisition and construction. “It gives us a lot of flexibility to manage our flows,” Jim Fisher, the SDCWA director of operations and maintenance, said. Pipeline 4 has a capacity of 258 million gallons per day and conveys treated water to the SDCWA’s second aqueduct. The SDCWA can also obtain treated water from the Twin Oaks water

treatment plant in San Marcos and from the desalination plant in Carlsbad, as well as from the Levy treatment plant in southern San Diego County. The SDCWA must manage the supply of treated water from each source with consideration given to contractual requirements, costs, system operational capabilities and water quality throughout the aqueduct system. Pipeline 4 was constructed to meet a demand of between 45 and 450 cubic feet per second, but the SDCWA does not currently need that minimum quantity. The SDCWA and MWD have worked to reduce the minimum flow rate to 40 cfs, but a new low-flow meter must be constructed to reduce the minimum volume further. The new meter will have a flow range of 5 to 50 cfs. The SDCWA’s payback period for its $2,630,000 will be 1.7 years. “They can make the appropriate adjustments in the flows to make sure water quality’s maintained,” Fisher said.

FAITH

You’re an on-purpose person Zac Elliot SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

“Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love,” Ephesians 1:4. We have a lot of accidents in life, don’t we? We get in car accidents, we spill our drinks and we even call

people by accident and blame it on a “butt dial.” Here’s a truth in life that we need to drive deep within our hearts: There are a lot of accidents in life, but you are not one of them. God created you on purpose so that he could love you. Ephesians 1:4 means you’re not an accident. God had you in mind long before your parents ever did. He was thinking about how he was going to

love you and care for you. Imagine that! God created you so that you could be the focus of his love. What an honor! You might feel like you’re an accident or even like your parents never really wanted you. The truth is there are a lot of accidental pregnancies and accidental parents. But there are no accidental children. Do you know why? It’s because

there are no accidents with God. He has always wanted you. “I have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will be the same. Even when your hair has turned gray, I will take care of you. I made you and will take care of you. I will carry you and save you,” Isaiah 46:3-4. Today is not the day that you need

to listen to your feelings. They often lie to us and tell us we’re unwanted and worthless. Instead listen to what God said. He said you are an on-purpose person. You’ve been personally designed by him to be the focus of his love. Zac Elliott is the pastor of Fusion Christian Church in Temecula. For more information, visit www. myfusionchurch.com.

Emergency responders need air medical services to save lives Chief Scott Brown of the Hemet Fire Department SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As the fire chief of Hemet, we never know when our firefighters and paramedics will need to be deployed to respond to an emergency, but we’re always ready. When families in our community face an unexpected incident or medical emergency, we will be there as quickly as possible to ensure they get the appropriate level care they need from the nearest hospital. During any medical emergency, every decision we make can mean the difference between life and death. For many who live in the

rural pockets of Southern California – up to 100 miles away from the nearest hospital – emergency air medical services are the only option. In fact, across the country, there are 85 million Americans who live in a rural area more than an hour from a Level 1 or Level 2 trauma center if driven by ground ambulance. As a former flight paramedic and having served as a firefighter and paramedic for the Orange County Fire Authority for 18 years, I saw firsthand the difference air medical services could make for patients. In the air, patients receive critical care from highly-trained flight doctors, nurses and paramedics. From

strokes to car accidents to heart attacks to other traumatic injuries, we always knew that getting patients the right care in the right amount of time was imperative for saving their lives. While the benefits of these air services are clear, they are increasingly threatened across California and the nation. The reimbursement rates provided by Medicaid and Medicare fail to cover a significant portion of the cost to operate these services, which is alarming when you consider that 70 percent of transport patients are covered by government insurance or have no insurance at all. We need Congress to address this

funding challenge, or Californians may have to face serious consequences when they or their families face medical emergencies. Just a few months ago, an Air Methods base recently closed in Hazard, Kentucky, and they were forced to shut down because of the cost deficit from Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates. Thankfully, efforts are underway to preserve emergency air medical services. Initiatives like the “Save Our Air Medical Resources” campaign are working to educate the public on the problems and possible solutions surrounding continued air medical services. There are also leaders in Congress, like Rep. Raul

Ruiz, D-CA 36, a former emergency room doctor, who understand the importance of these services in saving patients’ lives. Whether by ground ambulance, air medical transport or on the scene, we need all treatment and transport options available because we know every choice we make counts. It is essential we do everything we can to protect and preserve access to emergency air medical services so that they remain a realistic, life-saving option for everyone. Scott Brown is the Hemet fire chief and has served as a paramedic for the Orange County Fire Authority for 18 years.

Misleading messaging is not limited to district staff. Board member Kristi Rutz-Robbins wrote an editorial in The Valley News taking exception to some concerns I expressed about the school district. While putting forth her version of the truth, she invented more than a dozen facts. I’ve asked for an apology and retraction, but she has refused. When seeking to verify the existence of an agreement that RutzRobbins said was accepted at a public board meeting, but which I could not find in a search of the board’s minutes, I submitted a public records request. What I got back was a threatening letter from a school district attorney. I’ve called on board president Sandy Hinkson

to find out which staff member unleashed the attorney on me. That staff member should be terminated for unprofessional conduct and misuse of district resources. Governance through misinformation, bullying, and intimidation is not consistent with the values of the community that elected the TVUSD board. They need to hold themselves and their administrators accountable for the dysfunction in our school district. Editor’s note; The above editorial mentioned by Mr. Clause ran in the May 27, 2016, edition of Valley News and can be found online by visiting www.myvalleynews. com/opinion/tvusd-board-memberresponds-clause-opinion-piece/.

sociation, the California State Sheriff’s Association, the Peace Officer’s Research Association of California, and the San Diego County Probation Officer’s Association. We can honor the men and women of law enforcement by giving them our respect and support, along with our heartfelt thanks. But the lawmaking process must include direct input from those who enforce our laws. By heeding the advice of those who are willing to defend us with their lives

each day, we may be giving them the greatest honor of all. For without them, our lives of safety and security simply would not be possible. Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

The TVUSD Board has lost its way Rob Clause SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Imagine you are a member of the local school board. Your district is in the bottom three percent in California for fiscal responsibility, staffing cuts have been enacted, and only thirty-eight percent of your teachers view the controversial superintendent as an effective leader. What would you do? In Temecula, you extend the superintendent’s contract and phase in a huge salary increase. TVUSD blames the budget woes on the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), now in its fourth year. A recent budget update sent to staff and the community refers to “reduced revenue through the LCFF.” This quite clearly gives the

impression that Sacramento has lessened the flow of money to the district. However, over the last four year’s TVUSD’s annual revenue has increased by nearly $77 million. That’s a 38 percent increase. The LCFF gives more budgetary control to local school districts and TVUSD has failed to effectively manage their resources. TVUSD is one of only 34 school districts (out of 1,025) in California with a budget rating of either qualified or negative. While it is correct that TVUSD’s revenue increases have not been as great as most other districts, it’s hard to believe they can’t make ends meet with a 38 percent revenue increase over the last four years. Misleading messaging from the district is not limited to the budget

situation. Last spring the board received a study from district staff showing that Superintendent Tim Ritter was paid less than all of his peers in the region. However, when looking at total compensation, data from Transparent California and the Department of Finance show that he earned $12,000 more than the Murrieta superintendent in the most recently reported year. Nevertheless, he received nearly $30,000 in salary increases last year and stands to get another $10,000 increase July 1. Supporters of Superintendent Ritter cite the district’s strong academic performance as justification for his contract extensions and salary increases, but TVUSD was a top academic performer long before he arrived.

Honoring California’s peace officers Assemblywoman Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS The annual ceremony at the California Peace Officer’s Memorial honoring officers killed in the line of duty was held in Capitol Park in Sacramento last week. Over 3,000 men and women in uniform traveled to Sacramento to attend, including Governor Jerry Brown, Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom and other state officials. The ceremony which includes a

mounted police contingent accompanied by bagpipes, is held each May. This year, 10 California officers killed in the line of duty in 2016 were honored, including Officer Jonathan M. DeGuzman of the San Diego Police Department and Officers Jose Gilbert “Gil” Vega and Lesley Zerebny of the Palm Springs Police Department. Since legislation passed in Sacramento can have such a profound effect on local law enforcement,

the ceremony and the meetings that follow provide an opportunity for members of local departments to meet with lawmakers and advocate for legislation from the perspective of those who enforce the law on a daily basis. I was very glad to meet with a large number of San Diego County peace officers, including Escondido Police Chief Craig Carter, representatives from the California Police Chief’s Association, San Diego Sheriff’s As-

Target shooting outside designated areas must stop, Sheriff says LAKE ELSINORE – Sheriff’s officials in Lake Elsinore and neighboring communities are being flooded with complaints about recreational shooting on public lands, prompting a warning Friday, May 19. Anyone caught in the act of recreational shooting on public lands could be charged with a crime, officials said. “Over the last six months, we have noticed a significant increase in calls for service related to illegal shooting and illegal off-road vehicle traffic in our unincorporated rural areas,” said Lt. Joseph Pemberton. “Riverside County Ordinance

No. 514.10 strictly forbids recreational shooting in western Riverside County.” According to Pemberton, residents of Mead Valley and other unincorporated communities north of state Route 74, east of Interstate 15, west of Interstate 215 and south of the Riverside (91) Freeway have had their residences struck by stray bullets, apparently fired by people riding all-terrain vehicles to remote spots and firing guns. Pemberton said firearm and ATV noise-related complaints have surged, as well as complaints about littering and trespassing.

The lieutenant said licensed hunters can utilize firearms – primarily shotguns – but only between July 4 and Jan. 15. According to Pemberton, deputies will be ratcheting up efforts to locate violators of Ordinance No. 514.10, taking a “zero tolerance”

stance toward violations. Personnel from the federal Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service will be involved as well, he said. Under the ordinance, the first two violations are treated as infractions that carry fines of $100 to $200.

A third offense can result in a misdemeanor charge, with fines as high as $1,000 and potential jail time. Pemberton said anyone wishing to engage in target shooting should go to a range.

Motorist crashes into golf cart HEMET – A man was injured Monday, May 23, when a compact car slammed into a school-owned golf cart at a Hemet intersection. California Highway Patrol Officer Darren Meyer said 51-yearold Michael Delgado was driving a Hemet High School golf cart northbound on Bulldog Way when he was hit about 6 a.m. at Stetson Avenue.

Delgado was proceeding on a green light and had just entered the intersection when 23-year-old William Bucher, driving a 2016 Ford Focus, went through a red traffic signal going westbound on Stetson and plowed into the passenger side of the cart, Meyer said. “The front end of the Focus collided with the right side of the

golf cart, causing Delgado to be ejected onto the roadway,” Meyer said. He said the victim was transported to Hemet Valley Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. Bucher was not hurt. Neither drugs nor alcohol played a part in the collision, according to Meyer. However, the investigation is ongoing.

Nine displaced by fire at Temecula Home TEMECULA – A fire damaged part of a Temecula home Monday, May 22, displacing its nine occupants. The non-injury blaze was reported about 8:30 a.m. in the 41800 block of Shorewood Court, near

Waynewood Drive, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. About 20 firefighters who encountered flames in the kitchen area of the single-family dwelling had the blaze contained within 20

minutes. The American Red Cross was summoned to aid five adults and four children displaced by the fire, the cause of which was under investigation.

The discovery was made about 11:30 p.m. Sunday when Riverside County firefighters put out the flames inside the car on Van Buren Boulevard near the Escondido (215) Freeway, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said on Twitter. Investigators responded to the scene and began a probe officials said. The California Highway Patrol described the burned vehicle as a sedan. No further information was immediately released.

Valley, which charred at least 17 acres and was 30 percent contained this evening, according to Cal Fire-Riverside County Fire Department. The blaze broke out near the intersection of Reche Canyon and Smiley Boulevard about 4:12 p.m., Sunday, May 21, fire department spokeswoman Jody Hagemann said. More than 100 firefighters, one water

said. By early evening, firefighters had stopped the forward progress of the fire and the air tankers were released, Hagemann said. Firefighters remained at the scene for several hours to do mop-up on the brushfire. No injuries were reported, Hagemann said.

Rescued hang glider seriously injured SAN JACINTO – A hang glider crashed and its seriously injured pilot had to be hoisted off a mountain by firefighters Sunday, May 21. The rescue was at about 10:30 a.m. on a mountain north of Soboba Flight Park near San Jacinto, said Jody Hagemann of the Riverside County Fire

Department. A helicopter crew hoisted the adult male from the remote region and transported him to an awaiting ground ambulance, she said. He was hospitalized with serious injuries.
