Despite the mostly unseasonal weather, thousands flocked to the annual Temecula Valley Balloon and Wine Festival at Lake Skinner May 20-22 to hear top entertainment, enjoy good wine and delicious food.

Cougar Vineyard and Winery offers boutique experience

The only thing missing in this year’s festival was one of its top attractions, the hot air balloons that because of the wind were unable to get off the ground much to the disappointment to those attending. The only save for the spectators expecting the balloon glows and the skies dotted with colorful balloons during the festival was Sunday

morning when more than a dozen hot air balloons lifted off as the weather and wind began to clear. The Friday and Saturday night “balloon glows” were canceled due to the winds gusting at 10 to 20 mph. Balloon launches are always determined by the wind, its direction and the pilot’s discretion. A disappointment to all, but

Brace yourself, Southwest Riverside County, another massive development boom is about to rumble through the region. That represented the good news at a wide-ranging forum of top local government leaders last week. “I think you’re hearing the same thing throughout the region,” Rick Dudley, Murrieta city manager, said. “It is going gangbusters.” But all the news wasn’t good. The five managers admitted their cities will struggle financially to provide the police, fire, traffic circulation and other basic services sought by the flood of new residents, workers and tourists. Much has changed in a mere

few years, the city managers agreed. The crippling “Great Recession,” a sharp downturn that hit in 2008 and gripped the area for nearly five years, has faded into a distant memory. And gone are the border clashes where neighboring cities battled over tax-rich retail, office and tourism-related projects. “There aren’t any wars going on,” Robert Johnson, Menifee city manager, told his rapt listeners. He described his colleagues as “a phenomenal team of city managers” who see the area as a region rather than distinct empires. The competition – if it can be called that – is far more tongue in

Murrieta Council hears possible solution to its growing homeless population Tony Ault WRITER

A possible solution to help the growing number of homeless in Murrieta and surrounding Southwest Riverside County was offered in a presentation to the Murrieta City Council Tuesday, May 17, by Murrieta’s assistant to the city manager Brian Ambrose. Ambrose told the council he was proud to report the city that has seen a growing number of homeless, has entered into a partnership with a group called “Solutions for Change” out of Vista, California, through the Community Mission of Hope, simply called CMoH. Murrieta already is a partner with the group. CMoH was originally a collaborative effort to help the homeless

for awarding bid for the project to the lowest responsible bidder and approving change orders if necessary for project completion. After brief discussion, Councilman Matthew Liesemeyer made a motion to approve the construction project. The motion passed unanimously. City Manager Robert Johnson notified citizens of the current status of a potential November referendum. FM3, the body assisting Menifee in its evaluation of generating revenue for safety, has successfully conducted a voter poll. The extensive survey found that 55 percent of the polled 400 are likely to support a 1 percent sales tax and, according to the Johnson, a third of voters “would vote definitely yes” in the fall. Eighty-one percent felt positive that the city is headed in the right direction and three-fourths of voters agree that the city needs

more funds to maintain its quality of life. Johnson reported that this poll demonstrated that the Utility User Tax suggested at a previous meeting has no chance of passing. In other news, Fire Battalion Chief Jorge Rodriguez received recognition for his promotion to Assistant Chief. He will be moving up to a post in the Eastern Coachella Valley with responsibility over three to four cities. He has served with Menifee since 2009. “Thank you Jorge. You are going to be missed,” said City Manager Robert Johnson. “We appreciated your humor, your leadership and your friendship.” The city also received distinction as Playful City USA which entitles it to various perks. Menifee will be looking into ways to apply for new grant opportunities and access new marketing components and highway signs.

In another discussion the city heard a report from staff on the rules and regulations on the raising of poultry and fowl in residential zones of the city. Murrieta does not allow the raising of poultry chickens or fowl in designated residential areas. Other agricultural zones in the city allow for the poultry and fowl. A number of residents like Nancy Phillips and Lorraine Ryba who appeared at the Tuesday council meeting were asking the council to consider changing the ordinance to allow chickens, in particular, to be allowed in the residential zones, arguing they are like pets to their children and do help provide some food to their families. The staff went to work on the request to review the city ordinance and presented their findings about poultry/fowl ordinances. Some of the other cities do permit limited poultry raising in residential areas, but most do not permit roosters and limit the number of chickens allowed. Prior to the council meeting some parents and their children at the City Hall entrance placed posters and brought their children’s pet chickens to call the council’s attention to the request. One of the pet chickens sported a chicken leash. Mayor Lane and Councilman Jonathon Ingram visited and talked with the children and parents and even took time to pick up several of pet chickens showing their concern. The children appearing with their chickens are members of the Murrieta Mustangs 4-H club. The council following the staff poultry/fowl ordinance discussion ask staff to look into revising the city residential ordinances but without permitting the slaughtering of the animals on the property, limiting their numbers, proper poultry penning and no roosters. The staff took it under study and may bring back suggested revisions at a later council meeting. A resolution with the intent to sell 2.44 acres of land owned by the city at 28125 Baxter Road was approved by the council during the meeting. The Baxter Street land was donated to the city for the future construction of a fire department training facility, but staff reported the property, because of the residential homes now surrounding it would no longer be suitable for such a facility. The proceeds from the sale will be used to purchase a more suitable piece of property for the fire training.

The city made plans to resurface Newport Road May 18 using a mixture of federal grants and local funds. Approval from Caltrans is necessary before moving forward with the project. Funds are only available for improvements made to the section of Newport Road that runs from Bradley Road to Murrieta Road at this time. Construction is estimated to begin August 2016. The resurfacing of Newport Road will be financed through council’s approval of participation in the Surface Transportation Program of the 2015/16 Federal MAP (Moving Ahead Toward Progress). The funds associated with the program must first be approved by Caltrans before the city can access them. As recommended by staff, the City Manager will be responsible

Active shooter training prepares community for the unthinkable

Murrieta Mayor Randon Lane wearing a Darth Vader costume after attending a “May the 4th” event at his son’s school, welcomes guests attending an active shooter training course at the Murrieta City Hall May 4.

MANAGERS from page A-1 cheek today. Johnson noted that one of his city’s goals is to meet all the retail needs of Menifee residents within their own community. Doing so, he said, will keep precious sales tax revenues from migrating south to Temecula. Greg Butler, Temecula assistant city manager, countered that his city is well aware of the “sleeping giant to the north.” Temecula, he said, is reacting by boosting the size of its regional mall, increasing its car dealerships and attracting an array of retail stores that will draw shoppers from far away. The audience at the annual breakfast event, the sixth of its kind sponsored by the Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors, reacted with audible gasps

of “wow” at various stages of the upbeat presentations. About 300 people – roughly double that of last year – paid $20 each to attend the nearly four-hour session in Murrieta on May 20. Turnout at the event reflects the state of the economy, and this year’s large group mirrors the post-recession uptick, said Connie Lynch, the association’s chief executive. Lynch and several speakers at the breakfast event noted that most of the audience is in the business of championing the area’s charms. Some of the speakers described the attendees as “ambassadors” to the region and disciples of the upbeat messages that they were presenting. The association boasts about 4,000 members, and it is also involved in fundraising for industry-oriented political action committees.

Menifee City Manager Rob Johnson discusses Menifee’s growth and development during the SRCAR Breakfast with the City Managers May 20. Menifee’s population is growing and is currently over 89,000 people. Menifee has future plans for a state courthouse in 2018 and the city’s first large scale shopping center on the east side of town.

Each manager spotlighted explosive commercial growth, hundreds or thousands of new housing units and a flurry of new hotels, motels and other tourist-related attractions that are under way or on the drawing boards. They agreed that all of the cities and their economic sectors are booming. “Lake Elsinore is on fire,” said Grant Yates, who heads that fastgrowing city. He said numerous public and private projects that have been in the pipeline for years are now becoming reality. He noted that new homes are selling as fast as builders can complete them. “There’s a lot of growth that’s coming our way,” Yates continued. “We’re on the right track and a lot of things are happening. You are going to see some amazing things coming our way.” Growth is also rippling through Wildomar, the smallest of the five cities represented at the forum. City Manager Gary Nordquist reeled off a series of projects that are now perched on the front burner. They include an 80-acre complex planned by Mt. San Jacinto College. “We’re looking forward to that coming on board and adding to the

region,” Nordquist said. He used a pair of photographs to illustrate the rebounding local economy. The first picture showed an idle Wildomar development site where a forlorn “Coming 2008” sign anchored its street frontage for years. The new photo showed grading equipment in the background and a gleaming new sign that proclaims: “Coming 2016.” “You’ve got to have faith,” he said. The forum was capped by a question-and-answer session led by Gene Wunderlich, the association’s government affairs director. Some of the queries touched on sensitive issues. One of the questions sparked a discussion over the financial pressures caused by skyrocketing public safety costs and an inability to win the return of funds that the state siphoned away from cities over the past decade. Those pressures may prompt some cities to ask their residents to decide between paying higher sales taxes or experience an erosion of police response times or other services. Property taxes only cover a portion of the costs to serve new

residents, the managers pointed out. Waves of newcomers could stretch municipal budgets to their breaking points, they said. Temecula, Lake Elsinore and Menifee are among a group of cities that are funding a study to determine whether they can stem the rising cost of police services. The $195,000 study marks the latest step in a years-long regional push to counter annual cost increases assessed to cities that have law enforcement service contracts with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. Several managers grumbled that the rising costs have forced them to freeze the size of their police forces or cut their officers at a time when the populations of their cities continue to soar “Something is seriously, drastically wrong,” Johnson said.

Murrieta City Manager Rick Dudley discusses Murrieta’s growth and development during the SRCAR Breakfast with the City Managers. Murrieta has plans for 2,711 living units. Currently in development in Murrieta is the 37-acre CarMax dealership, which will be the second largest in the U.S. for the used auto dealer. Shane Gibson photos

Still we are very impressed (with the festival) there are a lot of options here.” Pattie Roberts, a festival vendor and manager of “Save The Animals Today,” horse rescue in Winchester observing the Friday night glow said. “This is going to be fun. We will be here in the morning to see the lift off.” Kicking off the festival Friday afternoon were performances on the main stage from the Just Dave Band and Parmalee. The evening

was complete with the great sounds of the Just Dave Band that brought applause and cheers. The Wine Stage where the balloon glow was to be held featured the rocking sounds of Yeghikian, Common Sense and DJ Pasha. Even though the Saturday morning balloon lift off at the site was canceled due to the winds, cars stilled rolled into the parking lots with their occupants anxiously waiting for the day’s entertainment venues featuring Meesha Black, Chalk Farm, Neon Trees and Jimmy Eat World. Neon Trees from Provo, Utah, brought the greatest applause with their alternative rock, new wave sound. The vendors were doing a brisk business Saturday while children enjoyed watching the unusual animals, playing laser tag and screaming on the zip line in the children’s zone. Others with their parents marveled at the giant Smokey Bear Balloon in the U.S. Forest Service area and even having a chance to talk to Smokey himself. Riverside County

Parks displayed the makings of an ideal campsite, offered recycled bags and other gifts to parents and children encouraging them to visit their parks and recreation sites like Lake Skinner. Toyota had a large display of their newest cars and SUV’s, offered a chance to win a new Prius and provided a cellphone recharging station. “We wanted to make a footprint in the festival,” said one of the Toyota representatives. Different this year was the food court separated from the regular vendors’ areas with a canvas covered chain link fence. Tables were set near the food vendors so the families could enjoy a quiet time while eating. No alcohol was served in the food court. The many wine tasting booths were place alongside the two stages on the grounds so adults could enjoy the music and the fine wine offerings. A large variety of local wines and craft beers were offered with eight tastings of regular wines and one glass of domestic beer for $20 or eight tastings of reserve wines, a glass of imported beer and a glass of Stella/Widmer for $30. Guests got to keep their reserve tasting souvenir wineglass. Sunday provided a welcome weather break for the festival goers with the sun shining, calm wind and warm temperatures. Even though only one hot balloon launched that morning with a few others tethered, the day was a complete success, highlighted by the guest appearance of the sensational country music artist Rodney Atkins on the main stage and Hotel California, a Tribute to the Eagles on the Wine Stage that afternoon. The weather, with its low 70s temperature and light wind gave some of the men opportunity to lose their shirts and the children and women to take off their shoes to enjoy the feel of soft grass while great music played on the opposite stages. At the main stage Atkins with his harmonic guitar and bluegrass band sang some of his favorite songs encouraging those enjoying the wine to dance and sway to the music. While their parents danced children turned somersaults and wrestled with each other all in fun. It was a real treat to many to see Atkins introduce his wife and them sing together to the crowds. It was a down home country time for all, especially when he rendered his hit song, “Take a Back Road.” Meanwhile on the Wine Stage, Hotel California sounds delighted the slightly older crowd with the Eagles finer renditions. The real crowd pleaser was a great Eagles version of the Star Spangled Banner and other patriotic songs that brought the crowd to its feet. As the spectators left the main stage area, Hotel California continued playing to the growing audience. Helping with this year’s Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival were the many volunteers. The JROTC students from Vista Murrieta High School helped with the parking, while other Murrieta and Temecula high school students helped with the set up and cleanup of the festival grounds during its three days. The proud U.S. Marines from the Crash Fire Rescue unit and Headquarters at Camp Pendleton worked the gate security details. The Marines took the festival post to help raise funds for the annual upcoming Marine Corps Ball.

SACRAMENTO – Assemblywoman Melissa A. Melendez, RLake Elsinore, recently honored Lake Elsinore resident Henri Berger for the Holocaust Remembrance Day at the State Capitol. “Today we are reminded of one of the darkest chapters in human history. A chapter filled with unfathomable atrocities, yet we must never forget those horrors so they shall never be repeated,” said Melendez. Mr. Henri Berger is a survivor of the Holocaust. He and his sister evaded capture from the Nazis in the southwest of France. Separated from their parents, Mr. Berger and his sister hid in corn fields, in the woods or anywhere they thought was safe.

They survived by stealing food and taking turns waiting in long bread lines. They remained in hiding until France was liberated in 1944. Mr. Berger later immigrated to the United States and enlisted in the United States Marines where he spent two winters fighting in the Korean War. “I am humbled to have the ability to honor Mr. Berger today. He is a testament to the power of hope triumphing over the power of evil and someone who has truly inspired me,” said Melendez. Every year, the State Assembly and the Assembly Jewish Caucus holds a ceremony in the State Capitol to honor holocaust survivors and remember its victims.

California looking to legalize recreational marijuana Jacob Preal VALLEY NEWS INTERN

California voters may be legalizing recreational marijuana on the Nov. 8 ballot. The “Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act” received more than 600,000 signatures to qualify the initiative for the November ballot. Although this number has yet to be verified by elections officials, the coalition received almost double the required 365,880 signatures for it to make the ballot. If passed, this act will legalize marijuana for recreational use for those ages 21 and older, as well as impose a 15 percent retail tax on sales of the drug. The drug will also be available for cultivation for as many as six plants per individual. The coalition gained momentum after former Facebook President Sean Parker donated over $1 million to the initiative. This marijuana proposal dwarfed rival campaigns that eventually conceded to the “Adult Use of Marijuana Act’s” massive amount of support and financial backing. Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has chaired a blueribbon commission to establish a regulatory recreational marijuana system that protects children, has also endorsed the initiative. Previous marijuana initiatives have failed before implementation since 1996 when California became the first state to legalize medicinal marijuana. 2010 saw pot legalization fail 53.5 percent to 46.5 percent under the rejected Proposition 19. Since then, public approval for the drug has gone up with 55 percent of those polled by the Public Policy Institute of California in 2015 supporting recreational use. If the public follows this recent trend, California will join Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington with legalized recreational marijuana. Proponents of the initiative feel that legalizing pot will allow for more effective regulation of drug use. The medical association stated that it disagrees with the current “ineffective prohibition” and instead believes that “the most effective way to protect the public health is to tightly control, track and regulate marijuana and to comprehensively research and educate the public on its health impacts.” The “Adult Use of Marijuana Act” will be used to impair the black market and keep marijuana from children who can obtain drugs as easily as adults under the illegalized system. California will also be able to capitalize on tax dollars with this legalization act. According to the official language of the act, the tax on marijuana sales in the state can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue. These dollars will be put toward public health programs to educate the youth in order to prevent future drug abuse and invest in communities to create

job opportunities. The revenue generated here will also provide for environmental cleanup and restoration of public lands destroyed by illegal cultivation. There are those however that oppose the measure. Many are still working to keep recreational pot illegal and prevent private cultivation by utilizing government-run medical marijuana dispensaries. With legalization, growers in the cannabis industry are afraid for the future. Hezekiah Allen of the California Growers Assn. fears the establishment of monopolistic, powerful marijuana companies that oust small, local growers. Still, the initiative remains wellfunded and equipped for the ballot. If the 600,000 signatures are verified, California voters will have the option of legalizing marijuana within its borders.

HS Track & Field: Great Oak sweeps Division 1 CIF Finals

Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

For the first time in school history, the Great Oak Wolfpack has swept the CIF-SS Division 1, capturing both boys’ and girls’ titles. It is the second Division 1 title that the boys’ team has won in school history and the first for the girls’ team. After both teams finished as runners-up in 2015, they turned in what was perhaps their best allaround performance of the season. The boys upset longtime rivals in Vista Murrieta, while the girls team snapped an eight-year win streak by Long Beach Poly. The team sweep now gives both Great Oak teams Southwestern League Titles and Division 1 Titles on the season. Not to mention their boys’ cross-country team won the National Title earlier this season while the girls’ team finished third. After an incredibly successful weekend to continue their outstanding year, many of their athletes will

go on to compete in the CIF-SS Individual Masters Meet and the teams will both move on to the California State Championship Prelims. Boys After a disappointing loss to Vista Murrieta in 2015, the Wolfpack returned to Cerritos College for the CIF-SS Division 1 Track & Field Finals and turned in one of their best performances of the season. As expected, the Broncos came storming out of the gate, winning the 100, 200, and 400 meter sprints on the back of two championships by Michael Norman. Along with Norman, Vista also had two other runners finish in the top three of the 200 meter sprint in Cole Dubots and Antonio Mitchell, who won the 100 meter. It was then that the Wolfpack started to take over, as Isaac Cortes took home championships in both the 800 and 1600 meter sprints, along with two other Wolfpack-top five finishers in the 800 and three

in the 1600. The Broncos would strike back with back-to-back wins in the 4x100 relay and the 4x400 relay. Nationally ranked thrower Seth Knowlton of Great Oak would then do exactly as everyone expected, capturing third in shot put with a throw of 53-05.00 and a championship in discus with his 181 feet and six inch throw. The biggest surprise in discus was Great Oak sophomore Jaime Navarro, who slung a personal best 166 feet and 1 inch. Wolfpack senior Asa Martin then unloaded his own personal best in the pole vault, a 15 and one-half foot vault, 6 inches better than the next best vaulter. Great Oak then got another pleasant surprise when sophomore C.J. Stevenson booked his own personal best in the triple jump at 45-10.25, good enough for second-best and all but securing a Division 1 title. The all-around team effort was good enough for 104 points, 16 more than Vista Murrieta’s 88 points, and their second CIF-SS

Division 1 Title in three years. In Division 2 competition, local teams also represented the Southern Section well. Carlos Wedlow, Shawn Williams, Austen Salcedo and Ryan Wade of Murrieta Mesa captured the school’s first ever CIF-SS Division 2 title in the 4 x 100 relay win with a record time of 41.4 and Wedlow also brought home the school’s second CIF-SS Division 2 title in the 100 meter sprint with a 10.47. Elsinore’s Anthony Reyes would also take home his own Division 2 title in the 400 meter sprint with a time of 48.77 seconds. Girls For the first time in Wolfpack school history, they have a CIF-SS Division 1 champion in their 2016 Girls’ Track & Field team. Led by none other than Destiny Collins, who won the 1600 meter and 3200 meter sprints, the Wolfpack bounced back from their second-place finish in 2015 to unseat eight-time repeating cham-

pions in Long Beach Polytechnic High School. They also earned a championship in the triple jump from senior Ciynamon Stevenson, who booked just over a 41 foot jump, just one and a half inches off her personal record, set in the Southwestern League Finals. The girls’ greatest strength on the day came in their numbers, as Collins, Nicole Rice, Evelyn Mandel, Alyssa Ungrady all finished in the Top 10 in the 1600 meter sprint, and three Top 10 finishers (Collins, Rice, Mandel) in the 3200 meter sprint. They also got Top 10 finishes from juniors Ally Talpash in the 800 meter sprint, Taylor Jeffers in the discus toss, and Lindsey Morgan in the pole vault. Their inspired team effort earned them 49 points, better than Mira Costa’s 40.5 on the day. Temecula Valley’s Danae Dyer, a sophomore, also earned a title in the 100 meter hurdles.

2016 CIF-SS spring sports playoff updates JP Raineri SPORTSWRITERS

Temecula United 2006 team scores big in Spartans Cup JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The Spartans Cup took place the weekend of May 14 in Yucaipa and it would be the first soccer tournament coach Barry Dewing’s Temecula United Girls 2006 team got to play in as a new team. With changes in the program and the team having undergone major roster adjustments with the new “Age Group Rules” from the U.S. Soccer Federation, the girls adjusted well and turned some heads. Temecula United played four games, with the championship decided on a “point total” basis. Dewing’s team won three of the four games they played, scoring 12 goals and only giving up 5 as they tied for first with points, but lost the head-to-head match-up with the opposing team. Temecula United opponents were against Inland Empire Surf (Victory), Desert United FC (Victory), Spartans FC (Victory) and

West Coast FC (Defeat). “I was encouraged by the girls’ development toward working together and it says a lot about our strength

as we had 12 goals that were scored by seven different players. It was a great job by our Temecula United,” said Coach Dewing.

In a string of recent college signings, Vista Murrieta senior Michal Parris followed along with the rest of her peers, signing with Tabor College.

Parris, who was a four year scholar-athlete award winner and two-time captain for the Bronco swim team, will join the Bluejays in the coming fall semester. After signing with Tabor, Parris’ new head coach Nate Duell had endless kind things to say about the swimmer, “Michal is the kind of swimmer who changes the culture of a program. She comes from a very good swimming background and will bring a new level of competitiveness to our team. She will be an instant contributor in the pool and on campus.” Slated to compete in backstroke and distance, Parris will likely immediately make a difference on her new team, who most recently participated in the NAIA National Championships, where they competed against 25 other teams from around the nation. Tabor College, located in Hillsboro, Kansas, is a member of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), and competes in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference.

Ronquillo wins in Spectator Racing debut Joe Naiman WRITER

Marvin Ronquillo made his debut in the Spectator Racing event at Perris Auto Speedway and won that April 30 competition. The Temecula resident drove a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX for the three elimination races which culminated in his finals victory over Wayne Williams. “It’s always good to win. I definitely wasn’t expecting to win. I’ve never been on a circle track like that before, so I didn’t know what the surface was like,” Ronquillo said. Spectator Racing involves two spectators driving their own registered cars. The drivers and vehicles start on opposite sides of the halfmile dirt oval to determine the faster vehicle over two laps. Ronquillo became interested in Spectator Racing after seeing a video of a Subaru in such competition. “After seeing that I contacted the speedway and

asked how a Subaru got on the track and what it was all about,” he said. The participants aren’t aware of their first-round opposition until they line up. Ronquillo faced a Toyota Celica driver in the first round. “I actually didn’t know what

to expect,” he said. “I just went out there to do my best, really.” Ronquillo was in eighth grade when his family moved from Poway to Temecula in 1989. The 1993 Temecula Valley High School graduate began his BMX racing career

shortly afterward. Ronquillo also uses the Subaru as a rally car. “We take different lines as far as hitting corners,” he said. That knowledge of turning would lead to firsthand knowledge about the Perris Auto Speedway track including better speed on the outside groove. “That kind of pushed me to the outside line,” Ronquillo said. Ronquillo estimated that he was traveling up to 70 mph on the straightaways. “I wasn’t particularly looking at the speedometer,” he said. The six-speed Subaru was in third gear during Ronquillo’s straightaway runs. The Subaru’s engine will tolerate up to 8,000 revolutions per minute; a light on the dashboard is activated if the engine speed reaches 7,300 rpm but did not manifest itself during Ronquillo’s races at Perris. “I was pushing to the edge because I didn’t know what the track surface was like,” Ronquillo said of the first round. “I felt more car

control in the later rounds.” The Subaru and Ronquillo faced a Pontiac GTO in the semifinal round. “I knew it was going to be pretty tough to run up against that car,” Ronquillo said. Ronquillo has never owned a GTO but has driven one. “I was actually pretty surprised that I did beat him,” Ronquillo said, noting the horsepower and torque of a GTO. Ronquillo noted that he races the driver rather than the car. “I will look at the car, but at the same time I will think that the driver knows what he is driving which is more important than what the car can do,” he said. The four-cylinder Subaru has a rated two-liter engine which is built for 2.2 liters. Ronquillo’s victory against the GTO driver pitted him in the final against Williams, who drove a Toyota Corolla. “It’s a fun series. It would be nice to get other street cars out there,” Ronquillo said.

‘Yoga 4 Hope in the Vines,’ huge success, organizers say TEMECULA – This past Sunday, Michelle Trabelsi hosted her fifth annual Temecula Yoga 4 Hope in the Vines. The event took place at the beautiful Fazeli Cellars Winery on de Portola Rd in wine country. Nearly 100 yoga practitioners of all levels, from Inland Empire and San Diego gathered together for an all level practice to support the efforts of City of Hope’s cancer research, and to bring awareness to the benefits of yoga practice for patients with lifethreatening illnesses. The event started with healthy breakfast items, and the beautiful flute and drum sounds of Lonnie

Sumrall. There was an amazing line up of veteran yoga instructors and lululemon ambassadors from Temecula Valley and San Diego including, April Taylor from Isvara Yoga in Murrieta, Ashley Fiala from The Yoga Collective in Temecula, Jen Anderson from The Little Yoga Room in Murrieta, Michelle Trabelsi from Michelle Trabelsi Studio in Old Town Temecula, Katie Burke from Core Power in San Diego and Karson Mc Ginnley from Happy U Yoga in Ocean Beach. Claire Petretti, cancer survivor and co-founder of Yoga for Hope San Diego, was the guest speaker and represented City of Hope.

“The morning was full of inspirational messages and a beautiful practice of love, gratitude, kindness and creating possibilities,” Trabelsi wrote in a press release. “It was emotional for many and inspiring for all, as there were a dozen or so cancer survivors among us, and those touched by cancer. The event of course, ended with the Yoga 4 Hope traditional Tree Circle with Mimosas to look forward to, and wine tasting and brunch at Fazeli Cellars. Trabelsi said she wished to send out “a very special thank you to Fazeli’s, E.A.T. Marketplace, Organic Roots, Juice it Up Temecula, Starbucks Old

Education

Students have until June 1 to sign up for high school acceleration and enrichment classes TEMECULA – The Temecula Education Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the more than 28,000 students in the Temecula Valley Unified School District, is pleased to announce that its list of proposed classes for summer 2016 high school acceleration and enrichment, known as TEF Summer High School, is now online at www.temeculaeducationfoundation.org. Online class registration opened May 2, and closes June 1. There are no refunds for any courses after June 6. Classes will be held on the campus of Temecula Middle School, 42075 Meadows Parkway, in Temecula. “The TEF-sponsored for-credit and non-credit classes offer high school students, including current eighth-graders who will be fresh-

men in August, an opportunity to get a head start on their 2016-17 high school classes. Students also can prepare for the rigors of high school math and advanced placement chemistry by taking enrichment boot camps. We are excited to continue our collaboration with TVUSD to provide this opportunity for students,” said Barbara Burkett, TEF president. Among the proposed classes are ceramics, geometry, Spanish 1, 2 and 3, world history, economics, and government. In addition to traditional classroom courses, students also will have the option of virtual, blended (VB) courses which are a combination of in-class and online studies. Among these VB, for-credit classes are Government and Economics. 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; no credit) will be offered in Pre-AP Chemistry and Algebra I. The designation AP refers to Advanced Placement, college-level classes which are generally more demanding. Back for its third year is an 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 Common Core standards. Fee-based acceleration and enrichment classes are sponsored by TEF, with the Temecula Valley Unified School District serving as the ac-

creditation body for courses taught for credit. This year, the foundation is introducing a class registration system accessed via its website, using a new cloud-based purchase platform sponsored by PurplePass Ticketing. Classes will be held Mondays through Fridays at Temecula Middle School beginning June 13 and concluding July 8. There is no class on the Monday, July 4, holiday. Schedules vary, see www.temeculaeducationfoundation.org for specific dates. Classes are intended for students in the TVUSD; students from other districts should check with their home schools before registering. Classes are subject to change based on lack of enrollment and/or teacher availability. Enrichment or for-credit classes

should not be confused with TVUSD high school credit recovery or remediation summer school courses. Information on those courses is available from each high school’s counseling department and on the TVUSD website at www.tvusd.k12.ca.us. About Temecula Education Foundation: TEF seeks to enhance or improve educational opportunities for students in Grades K-12 in the Temecula Valley Unified School District. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation is governed by an allvolunteer board of directors that includes parents, business and civic leaders, and community members. Information can be found at www. temeculaeducationfoundation.org.

Blotter Three arrested for warrants, narcotics after Murrieta traffic stop Trevor Montgomery WRITER

MURRIETA - A Murrieta police officer conducted a traffic stop in the area that led to the arrest of three individuals who each had felony warrants, May 21, according to a police official. The officer conducted the traffic enforcement stop in the area of Madison Avenue and Los Alamos Road at about 11:45 p.m. During the traffic stop, the officer contacted the three occupants of the vehicle. The officer identified the driver as Christopher David Rutledge, 38, of Wildomar. The

passengers were identified as Lauren Taylor, a 27-year-old transient and Jacob Anthony Jobgen, 20, of Canyon Lake. The officer conducted a records check on each subject, which revealed all three had active warrants for their arrest, according to Murrieta Police Lieutenant Tony Conrad. The records check indicated Rutledge was on Post Community Supervised Release for a weapons charge. During a subsequent search of Rutledge pursuant to the terms of his probation, the officer located narcotics and narcotics-related paraphernalia.

The records search also showed Taylor had a misdemeanor warrant out of Northern California and Jobgen was found to have a felony warrant for fraud. Following the traffic stop, Taylor was cited for her misdemeanor warrant and released at the scene. Rutledge and Jobgen were booked into the Southwest Detention Center. A jail records search revealed Jogben was booked for his warrant. He is scheduled to be arraigned May 25, at the Southwest Justice Center, in Murrieta. Rutledge was booked for one felony count for a revocation hear-

ing. He was also cited for being under the influence of a controlled substance, possession of methamphetamine, both are now misdemeanors under Prop 47 guidelines. He was also cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. He was then released from jail the following day after posting $35,000 bail. He is scheduled to be arraigned in court July 15 at the Southwest Justice Center, in Murrieta. “It should be noted that Christopher Rutledge is an AB109 probationer,” Conrad explained. “AB109, also known as Post Release Community Supervision, was

signed into law in November 2011. The goal of AB109 is to reduce the state prison population. It allows thousands of less serious offenders to remain out of custody and on probation while they would have previously been eligible for prison. “Local communities like Murrieta have felt the effects of Assembly Bill 109. The arrest demonstrates the impact of Assembly Bill 109 on the citizens of Murrieta,” Conrad said. “The Murrieta Police Department recognizes the concerns associated with this bill and we continue to proactively arrest the offenders that victimize our residents.”

LAKE ELSINORE – A 32-yearold Lake Elsinore woman who does not have legal custody of her two boys snatched the children away during a supervised, courtordered visitation at a McDonald’s restaurant in El Monte, a police lieutenant said Sunday, May 22. At about noon Saturday, the father of Daniel Velasquez, 10,

and JamesVelasquez, 6, dropped them off at 11650 Valley Blvd. for a court-ordered visitation with their mother, Emily Lynn Moon, according to El Monte police Sgt. Richard Luna. The boys were with Moon when the designated court monitor left momentarily. The monitor returned and found that Moon and

the children were no longer in the restaurant, Luna said. The monitor checked the surrounding area and did not locate Moon or the boys. It is believed Moon may have taken the boys to her Lake Elsinore home at 32538 Mission Trail, he said. “There is no suspected threat to the children’s physical health

TEMECULA – During May’s Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month, the California Highway Patrol and the California Office of Traffic Safety have been working together to share an important message: Motorcycle safety is just as important to passenger vehicle drivers as it is to motorcyclists. A popular route for motorcyclists in Southwest Riverside County is SR-74 (Ortega Highway), a two lane corridor directly linking Riverside County and Orange County. The mountainous state route is a beautiful, scenic path which swells during the spring and summer months. Excessive speed and unsafe passing are common factors in motorcycle col-

Traffic collisions on SR-74 from the Lake Elsinore City Limit to the Orange County line in 2013 had 82 total collisions reported, including 32 motorcycle related traffic collisions and in 2015 there were 38 total collisions, including 11 motorcycle related traffic collisions. Over the past year the CHP Temecula Area has been maximizing patrol resources along the Ortega Highway to reduce traffic collisions, which are caused by violations of the California Vehicle Code. These efforts will continue to develop along this corridor with an enhanced focus on educating motorists and riders, with added enforcement for violations of speed, crossing over double yellow lines and following too close. “Building upon the recent years’ successes in lowering injury and fatal traffic collisions, the two CHP stations which patrol the Ortega Highway will continue to work alongside our partners in traffic safety to promote and maintain safe highway conditions. We ask the public to join us in our efforts to save lives by driving responsibly and reporting unsafe behavior,” said CHP Captain Brian Lee, commander of the Temecula Area office. The CHP would like to remind motorists to drive safely on SR-74 by not crossing over double yellow lines, reducing speed, maintaining a high visual horizon, and being mindful of motorcyclists.

“Oh, that burning pain”

Taking an antacid or acid blocker is not the way to treat heartburn. Courtesy photo

Dr. Laurie Blanscet SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

If you have ever had heartburn, you are not alone. According to the National Institute of health, 1 in 5 Americans suffer from heartburn at least once per week. Half of those people actually have symptoms on a daily basis. The sale of acid blockers and antacids is a billion dollar industry.

Taking an antacid or acid blocker is not the way to treat heartburn. According to Dr. Jonathan Wright, these medications can actually worsen the underlying cause of heartburn and potentially lead to significant health concerns. Heartburn is the pain that is felt in the chest area and it is caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus. (the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach). The common belief that if the pain is caused by acid in the esophagus, then the problem must be too much stomach acid, however, this is not correct. Per the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, as we age our stomach acid naturally declines. After the age of 40 we produce half as much stomach acid as teenagers produce. If acid was the cause of heartburn, then we should see teenagers suffering from heartburn more often than older adults. But heartburn is actually more common in older people. Since older people have less stomach acid, how can excess acid production be the cause of heartburn? It’s not, according to Wright, after decades of research and patient care, a better explanation for

heartburn is a malfunction of the valve that separates the stomach from the esophagus. When this valve is functioning properly it prevents the stomach acid from refluxing into the esophagus. If this valve is not functioning properly it allows stomach acid to reflux into the esophagus which causes painful damage to the lining of the esophagus. Interestingly, low stomach acid levels, which happens with age, are associated with impaired function of this valve. Stomach acid is not evil. We must have stomach acid in order to properly break down our food and absorb the nutrients. A lack of stomach acid causes a malabsorption of food and supplements which can lead to anemia, heart disease, mood disorders, cancer and osteoporosis. Undigested protein molecules can also damage the intestinal lining and trigger autoimmune reactions. In addition, low levels of stomach acid increases susceptibility to infection since stomach acid is needed to kill certain ingested infectious agents. We all need stomach acid. When you suffer from heartburn, antacids and acid blockers temporarily give you relief because they neutralize or eliminate the stomach

Medicare proposal will limit cancer patients’ access to drugs, endanger chances of healing, oncologists say TEMECULA – One of California’s largest private groups of cancer doctors opposes the initiative to force seniors to serve unknowingly as subjects for testing new ways to pay for chemotherapy A Medicare proposal for testing new ways to pay for drugs may jeopardize cancer patients’ health and chances of recovery, may also create two unequal classes of patients and could further result in more patients being forced to seek costlier treatment in hospitals, says one of California’s largest private oncology practices. California Cancer Associates for Research and Excellence is joining the American Society of Clinical Oncology and Community Oncology Alliance in their call for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to “withdraw an experiment of this magnitude without first understanding its potential impact on patient care.” Particularly troubling, doctors say, is that under the CMS proposal, Medicare patients will be selected at random to participate in the test, that will influence which medications they receive. They will not be aware of their participation in the program, will not have the opportunity to give their informed consent and will not have the ability to opt out. Physicians fear that the proposal will create two classes of patients: those with access to the more advanced, often more expensive treatments, and those who may be

involuntarily relegated to cheaper and sometimes older, less effective drugs. Currently, Medicare reimburses oncologists (specialists in cancer and blood diseases) for drugs given in clinics to cancer and hematology (blood disorder) patients at a rate of the average price of each drug plus an add-on fee of 6 percent. Physician groups – which typically buy and store several weeks-worth of drugs in advance of use – must individually negotiate the drug prices they pay each manufacturer in hopes of keeping their costs within their Medicare reimbursements. In an attempt to control rising drug costs, the CMS proposal – alongside legislative cuts – calls for reducing the add-on fee paid to doctors to less than 1 percent plus paying an additional flat fee of $16.80 per day per drug per patient. The test would begin in late 2016 and run for five years. While the percentage reduction in add-on fees may not seem significant, said William J. Jawien, M.D., cCARE medical director, it could make medicines prohibitively more expensive than what Medicare pays doctors for them. Such losses multiplied by thousands of patients receiving the medications over time at just one medical practice means “a physician may have to choose between doing what’s best for patients and unsustainable financial losses.” As well intentioned as the costcontrol proposal may be, Jawien

said, “we believe this approach is unethical and rife with flawed economics. The CMS sought to cut Medicare Part B drug reimbursements in 2005 and again in 2012, and it resulted in a major shift of cancer care to the more expensive hospital setting.” Due to negotiating clout, hospitals are typically able to procure drugs in higher volumes at lower costs. But the net effect is an increase in treatment costs overall, according to the Community Oncology Alliance, a patient advocacy and lobbying group based in Washington, D.C. In 2004, the COA reports, independent community cancer clinics such as cCARE delivered 84 percent of chemotherapy in the United States. However, as a result of CMS’ Part B experiments, by 2014 that number had fallen to 54 percent, with the remaining treatments going to hospitals, where overall costs can be higher. The net effect is that in 2014 alone, the COA says, taxpayers shelled out in excess of $2 billion more for chemotherapy than they would have had the site-of-service not shifted to hospitals. “Our doctors support the laudable effort to drive down the costs of cancer care,” said Dr. Jawien. “However, this proposal is not well thought out. It will take decision making out of many patients’ hands and endanger their health, and will likely actually drive health care costs up rather than down.”

I live my life in 90 minute chunks For people who suffer from Overactive Bladder (OAB), the symptoms can be distressing. However, no one medication works the same for everyone and every age group. It is a goal of clinical research to find out who can receive the most relief from a medication. The PILLAR clinical study is researching a medication approved to treat OAB symptoms. We are looking for men and women 65 years of age or older with OAB to participate. Study-related procedures and medication will be provided at no cost.

acid from irritating your esophagus. You need stomach acid, just not in your esophagus. Antacids and acid blockers help your esophagus feel better but actually make things worse by decreasing your stomach acid – less stomach acid ends up making your valve more likely to allow reflux and makes you more susceptible to acute and chronic disease. The sad fact is that many people end up being dependent on acid blockers or antacids because on the surface they seem to help, but in reality they are making their acid reflux worse causing them to feel that they must stay on these medications that are actually hurting their overall health. What can you do instead? You can support the proper function of your valve so that acid cannot reflux into your esophagus. You can do this by increasing your water intake and avoid smoking (dehydration and smoking weaken the valve). Don’t overeat, wear tight clothing, do heavy lifting, or bend excessively as these things put pressure on the valve, elevate the head of your bed four to six inches so gravity is on your side. Avoid foods and medications that weaken the valve (this includes coffee, chocolate,

sugar, alcohol, anti-inflammatory and pain medications such as ibuprofen, norco; anti-nausea medications, certain antidepressants and asthma medications). You may need to seek the help of a medical professional that can determine if you have underlying food allergies that may contribute to the malfunction of your valve and can also safely help you to increase your stomach acid and get you on the proper digestive enzymes in order to strengthen the valve and improve your overall health. I have personally worked with patients who have successfully quit using acid blocking medications and feel great now. Heartburn is not about simply popping an antacid or acid blocker. Those medications may help us temporarily but will hurt our health in the long run. Stop worrying about having too much stomach acid and start focusing on having enough stomach acid and supporting the valve that keeps your stomach acid in your stomach. You will be free of heartburn and you will be able to live a longer, healthier life. For more information, visit www. anoptimalyou.com.

For the Temecula Performing Arts Company, singing atop a flying carpet is just another benefit of the amazing Aladdin Jr. performance at Old Town Community Theater. Here, Jeffrey Carlson, with Jasmine played by Isabelle Alvarez plan “A Whole New World,” while floating over the stage.

Temecula’s youth have transformed the Old Town Community Theater into a whole new world with the Temecula Performing Arts Company’s rendition of Aladdin Jr. This is their second time performing the show, which seemed fitting for director Jillian Stones. “I am pleased to bring Aladdin Jr. back for our 10th anniversary show as resident company to the Old Town Temecula Community Theater,” she said. “Our company has grown and learned so much over the years, and the OTTCT has upgraded and kept with the times, allowing us to put on such technically strong shows with amazing lighting and special effects.” With a performance that ran for two weeks, and included two separate casts of young actors ranging in age from six to 23 years of age, this was a feat for the performing arts group. Two casts, named the Genie Cast and the Jasmine Cast, both groups took on the difficult yet delightful cast of bringing the much loved Disney characters to life on the local stage. What does it take to make that happen? Take a cave of wonders, a lamp, a young street rat, a Sultan’s adventurous daughter and a Genie that’s been locked away for 10,000 years and pit them against a Vizier with an agenda and his trusted adviser – who happens to be a parrot. Yes, the original Disney cartoon characters all had their time onstage during the award winning Disney Aladdin Jr. production. Aladdin Jr.’s book by Jim Luigs, with music composed by the beloved Alan Menken, and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. When the young street urchin, Aladdin vies for the love of the beautiful Jasmine, he uses the Genie’s magic to make him into a prince, but not if the evil Vizier Jafar, and his hench-parrot Iago have anything to say about it. This rendition of Disney’s Aladdin Jr. is filled with magic, mayhem and of course true love conquering all. The TPAC once again gathered a talented group of young actors to sing, dance and give life to the colorful production for two weeks straight. With a high flying performance staged by this resident company of the Old Town Temecula Community Theater, Aladdin Jr. was another fullscale, main stage musical theater production produced in grand style. Dramatic backdrops and sets were brought in recreate the streets of Agrabah, and costumes glittered with cold, jewel tones and elaborate makeups for Genie. Most importantly and to the delight of the crowd, Aladdin and Jasmine even sailed over the stage on magic carpet while singing about a whole new world. In typical Old Town Temecula Community Theater fashion, the lighting, sound and music were high caliber, but the show stopping numbers of “Prince Ali,” and “Never Had a Friend Like Me” but it was “A Whole New World,” the love song by Aladdin and Jasmine, sung while floating on magic carpet over the stage that brought the house down during the production which ran just over 100 minutes. A few modern

twists made the show more comedic, when cast members broke into quick MC Hammer song and dance, or when the Dating Game theme song played out, unique TPAC stamps that made this show their own. A tough act to follow, with the inevitable thoughts going to the famed Robin Williams Genie, both casts handled the tough task of recreating Genie well. First timer Chrissy Bares took on the Genie’s role in the Genie cast, while Chris Veccihione took the role for the Jasmine cast. The performances began May 13, and ran through May 22. Directed by Jillian Stones, choreographed by Kendall Stones, once

again TPAC is all in the family, with many returning cast members, a few new names in the spotlight, and even a few local fathers filling the role of Sultan. In the Genie Cast, the role of Aladdin was played by Jeffrey Carlson, with Jasmine played by Isabelle Alvarez, Genie played by first time TPAC player Chrissy Bares, the role of Jaffar by first timer Sean Barnett, and Iago played by first timer Sam Nalick. In the Jasmine Cast, roles of Aladdin were played by first timer Page Cardoza, Jasmine by Shay Davis, Genie well handled by Chris Vecchione, Jafar by Ryan Sanchez-Weber, and

Iago by first time TPAC performer Madeline Green. The role of Narrator was handled by multiple cast members, including Naomi Morales, Mehel Du Bois, Sutton Conway, Trinity Curtis, Thea Taylor, Kiara Price, Kaitlyn Carlson, Vanessa Houa. The role of the Sultan was played by two fathers of cast members, Ryan Blair and John Curtis, both whose children played parts in the show. Razoul was played by Becca Spejcher and Cinderella Smock. In a youth oriented cast, multiple parts. Harem Girls were played by Abrielle White, Bella Clark, Hannah Smith, Brea Bachman, Sabre

Cardoza, Carlie Mirenna, Jack Clark, Chris Nalick, Cooper Carlson, Noah Sanchez, Trinity Blair, KJ Blair, Skye Curtis, Carlie Mirenna, Camryn Mirenna, Skylee Pierce, Brenna Bostwick, Tegan Wilson, Chy’Ann SmockBecca Spejche, Audrey Alvarez, Nova Sylvas, Isabella DuBois Brenna Washburn and Cinderella Smock, with roles of dancers and general cast. TPAC will return in the fall with a performance of Annie, and the spring 2017 production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid. For more information, follow www. temeculaperformingarts.com.

Annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show to feature stunning original Shelby Cobras at Pala Mesa Resort Sunday May 29 FALLBROOK – This Sunday, May 29, at the 51st Annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show, there will be 500 amazing show cars, 10 food vendors, three live bands, a children’s area and a zip line. However, six original Shelby Cobras featured from the 1960s are expected to be show-stoppers. Not only are these authentic originals hard to find, but each one is valued at $1 million or more. These models dominated the racing circuit in the U.S. and abroad for more than a decade. To complement these marvelous Cobras, there will be four very original 1960s Shelby GT350 and GT500 Mustangs. The upgraded design features, engines and dualquad carburetors found in these launched Craig Conley’s Shelby GT500, which only has 27,000 original miles and can reach speeds to over 150 mph (don’t try this at home, children). Not fast enough for you and your friendly highway patrol officers? Then grab one of the Cobras. “As aerodynamic as they look, they turn into a brick at 175 to 180,” said Peter DeSilva, an owner of the Cobras. That is a true statement about his Cobra with the 427 cubic inch, large-block, V8 engine. It was manufactured in 1966, DeSilva bought it in 1972. “After 44 years of Cobra and me

cruising together, we really have become attached. It’s always fun to drive,” he said. His Cobra has “no history,” meaning it wasn’t a totaled junker out of a wrecking yard fit with all newly manufactured parts, or a reclaimed serial number. DeSilva’s Cobra is a real McCoy, from the frame, to the body, to the engine. According to the Fallbrook Vintage Car Club, most of the time, when you see what you think is an original Shelby Cobra from the 1960s, it is really a later day reproduction, a continuation car, a kit car or someone’s knock-off mounted on a Volkswagen chassis. Knockoffs allegedly can be well built, but often are of poor design and build, according to some Shelby aficionados. Organizers are reminding everyone to arrive at the show early in hopes of beating the huge throng of spectators that will be crowding around these featured cars, so you can dream of being behind the wheel. Rules allow for plenty of pictures to show your friends what they missed at the show, but touching the cars is not allowed. For people who want to jump back in time from the 1960s to the end of the 19th century and very early 20th, they’ll be able to head south from the North Show Field, to the other side of the clubhouse,

and find up to 27 Brass Era Horseless Carriages. The earliest will be an 1899 Peugeot three wheeler and a 1902 “Curved Dash” Oldsmobile (CDO) which, along with the Olds 1903 model, will be there ready for admiration and shutterbugs. They were the No. 1 selling cars in the world at that time. For the Ford gearheads, there will be Ford Model S cars and the Tin Lizzies (Model T’s). Don’t like today’s car prices? Ford Model T’s sold for $680 in 1909, but had dropped to $290 by 1917. After admiring all five hundred plus show cars, attendees will be able to take time with their significant other, family or best friends, to try the haute cuisine and, beer and wine in its own special garden tent (and maybe a few Bloody Marys), or visit more than 90 swap meet vendor booths with everything from vintage car parts, jewelry, art, antiques, collectables, solar systems and much more. Soda, beer and refreshments will be perfect while listening to three marvelous professional hourlong tribute band performances. Lawn chairs are encouraged. Woodie and the Longboards Beach Boys Tribute will perform at 11 a.m., Heartache Tonight Eagles Tribute at 1 p.m. then stick around for the British Invasion’s, Hard Day’s Knights Beatles Tribute at 2:30 p.m. In between the tribute band performances, the Fallbrook High School Jazz Ensemble with play selections carefully picked to complement the Car Show experience. If that isn’t enough, there will be a Children’s Area at the north end of the North Show Field, including bounce houses and other attrac-

tions and a zip line near the tennis courts adjacent to the children’s area. South of the clubhouse, the children can enjoy an archery game presented by UpShot Archery. Ten food vendors will be serving all day, in addition to the always great Aqua Terra Restaurant in the Pala Mesa Clubhouse, or their outside snack bar. Food service will begin with the traditional North County Fire Association pancake breakfast, or breakfast at Aqua Terra. Carl’s will provide their delicious selection of sausages and hot dogs. Dang Brothers Pizza will prepare pizza on-site in their wood-fired oven mounted in the hose bed of their 1974 American LaFrance Pumper. There will be kettle corn, street tacos prepared by the Fallbrook High School Band Boosters, and Cousin’s “Out of this World” Maine Lobster sandwiches and rolls. Devilicious Food Truck will provide their award-winning unbelievably tasty and unique sandwiches. The Rib Shack will serve incredible smoked barbecue sandwiches along with their widely acclaimed side orders. Traffic flow has been engineered this year to provide much faster access to the show and public parking. The number of public parking entrances have been tripled, with a completely separate entrance and parking area for those arriving from the south, and a double entrance for those arriving from the north. The California Highway Patrol has been contracted to provide traffic control services at the main lights feeding Old Highway 395 from the south and from the north. This will make traffic flow much faster than last year, enhancing the

experience of visitors to the show. The Fallbrook Vintage Car Show will again use volunteer San Diego Sheriff’s volunteers team headed up by Derwin Williams. The 51st Annual Fallbrook Vintage Car Show will be held Sunday, May 29, on the grass at the Pala Mesa Resort, 2001 Old Highway 395, Fallbrook, from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show and parking are free to visitors. The show will kick off at 9:30 a.m. with the always sharp and professional United States Marine Corps Color Guard, Camp Pendleton, presenting the colors. The Fallbrook High School Brass Ensemble will perform the national anthem. To learn more the show, or the club in general, visit www.FallbrookVintageCarClub.org.

Gazette665’s latest project in an effort to share historical information in a positive and engaging way, brings a new event to Southern California, just in time for the 155th Commemoration of the American Civil War.

Scheduled speakers for the conference include Bruce Carver, director of the historic Armory Band and Robert Munson, a historian with

the National Park Service. Authors Meg Groeling and David T. Dixon will share their research and will be available to sign copies of their nonfiction books.

Conference coordinator and historian, Sarah Kay Bierle will tell about the civilian experience and their power to raise and support the armies.

Cougar Vineyard and Winery offers a boutique experience in Temecula Valley Wine Country Ashley Ludwig Writer Aglianico. Falanghina. Lambrusca di Allesandria. These are just a few of the Italian varietal grapes grown on the Cougar Vineyard and Winery that have received the notice of both southern California wine lovers and Italian wine. “What was thought to be Nebbiolo turned out to be something different,” assistant winemaker Erick Erno said during a recent wine tasting at Cougar. “The grapes were studied and turned out to be a rare Lambrusca di Alessandria.” Working with UC Davis to properly identify the Italian grape, Cougar has been instrumental in drawing notice to the Lambrusca di Alessandria varietal, as well as two other rare Italian vines – the Brachetto and the Falanghina. At this time, Cougar is the only commercial winery in the United States producing both Brachetto and Falanghina wine. If you are a lover of fine wine,

buy and enjoy now, and to save in your personal cellar. While enjoying the Cougar tasting menu, make sure to pause your tasting for a sample of the Sangio’s Deli. Here, Boars Head meat is served Ciabatta bread and is baked daily for the enjoyment of wine tasters. Paninis or cold sandwiches are available. To go with the wine, try an Italian Roast Beef, where roast beef, provolone, red leaf lettuce, Roma tomato, red onion, pepperoncini, and roasted red peppers are served with a special deli dressing. To thoroughly enjoy your lunch time Cougar Vineyard and Winery experience, try the prosciutto – with perfect slices of the smoked Italian ham pair with roasted red peppers, fresh mozzarella cheese and extra-virgin olive oil. Sandwich prices start at approximately $10. If sharing is more your element, try the pizzas, made fresh to order, and started with the San Marzano Tomato sauce, full of herbs and spices. The Pizza Margherita is highly sharable, topped with fresh mozzarella,

The 100-percent estate bottled wines of Cougar Vineyard and Winery grown from ground to glass by owners Rick and Jennifer Buffington. Come see why Cougar is Temecula’s favorite boutique winery. exceptional views and a laid back inviting atmosphere, Cougar Vineyard and Winery Located on the De Portola Wine Trail, is a must stop on your visit to Temecula Valley Wine Country. Follow the tracks, as the bottles say, to the winery that is the dream made reality from ground to glass by owners Rick and Jennifer Buffington. Their path to what is now Cougar Vineyard is over 20 years in the making, starting out in the Texas heat, when they attempted their first wine. A move to Bellevue, Washington had them perfecting their wine making process, where the Cougar Vineyard and Winery label was born with their first award winning Semillon in 1998. The lure of southern California wine country was strong and a move to Fallbrook led them to planting their first vineyard locally. N o w, C o u g a r V i n e y a r d s i n Temecula Valley Wine Country is growing some of the rarest Italian varietal grapes outside of Italy, and the Buffingtons continue to produce specialty boutique wine on 17 family acres. “ We are 100-percent estate bottled,” Erno said. “Our Italian varietals stem from across Italy, and due to the unique climate of the De Portola Wine Trail, we are able to capitalize on growing these vines.” The rare treat of the crisp, white 2015 Estate Falanghina is the ideal wine to begin your tasting tour of Cougar’s estate bottled wines. This grape heralds from the Campania region north of Naples, Italy—above the toe of Italy’s boot. This is a wellbalanced dry white, with crisp acidity and hints of melon on the palate. An idea summer deck wine, make sure you put a bottle of the highly drinkable Falanghina in your wine fridge for Temecula summers, poolside. On a warm day at the tasting room, try a side-by-side tasting of the Pinot Grigio, both the 2015 and 2014, showcased in a vertical tasting. See the benefits one year in bottle can add, with the subtle differences. The 2014 holds more vanilla notes, as it benefitted from 8-months in neutral American oak barrels, while the 2015 was tank fermented by comparison. The 2015 Pinot Grigio holds more of the mellow fruit flavors of pear and peach, as well as that crisp green apple bite. Either is ideal for the warm sunny afternoons in southern California. On the red side of the menu, Cougar Vineyard and Winery starts with their 2013 Estate Cask Reserve Sangiovese. This Italian varietal stems from both the central Italian regions of Liguria, Tuscany, Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo, and Marches. Sangiovese is most often thought of as a Tuscan wine, and is a defining grape at an Italian winery. Sangiovese is ideal for warm climate such as Temecula, according to Erno. At Cougar Vineyard and Winery, the Sangiovese started out in American oak barrels, finishing in the large French Oak cask. This is a bottle to

bruschetta and basil, or the Pesto Margherita – served with fresh pesto, mozzarella and bruschetta, topped with fresh basil, both starting at $11. Other sharable menu items include the Meat and Cheese platter, piled high with fresh Mozzarella, asiago and provolone cheese, served with ham, Sopresatta salami, hot capicola, fresh bruschetta on a crisp crostini bread served with assorted fruits and peppers—this well apportioned treat serves two or more, for $20. Returning to your tasting, be sure to finish up with the reserve tastings of the Library and Limited Quantity Wines. As Cougar Vineyard and Winery is a true boutique, the wines

on the list are often retired to the library during the tasting season. If you find a wine that you love, take home a bottle or two before they disappear. Such can be said for the 2012 Estate Lambrusca di Alessandria. This rare varietal is dark in color, with aromas of dark fruits, such as black cherry and anise on the nose. Rich on the palate, with a long, lingering velvet finish, and a rarity make the Lambrusca di Alessandria the wine to cherish for special occasions. Come to Cougar Vineyard

Who’s on the porch? Pastor Zachary Elliot FAITH COLUMNIST

What would you do if you looked outside and the most important person in the universe was standing on the front porch? Most of us won’t even answer the door if it’s an unexpected guest. But what if it was Jesus? Jesus said in Revelation 23:20, “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, Courtesy photo and we will share a meal

together as friends.” You might not know it, you might not even like it, but Jesus has been standing at the front door of your heart for a long time. Why? Because he actually likes you. More importantly, he loves you and wants you to share your life with him. The problem is we often treat him like and unwanted guest instead of an honored one. We tend to ignore him instead of inviting him in. So what should we do now that we know the most important person in the universe is standing on the porch? The first thing we should do is invite him in. Isn’t that what

you would do with other honored guests? You wouldn’t want to be left on the porch of your friend’s house endlessly knocking, and neither does Jesus. So invite him in! The next thing we should do is honor him. No one wants to go to someone’s home and be disrespected, ignored or treated as a bother and neither does Jesus! We can honor him by listening to him. Ask Jesus to speak to you and teach you his ways. Find out what he’s all about. You can simply invite Jesus in from the front porch by praying something like this, “Jesus, I invite you into my heart, my home, as my honored guest. Come in and let’s

spend some time together. I want to know more about you.” If you do these two simple steps your relationship with Jesus will grow stronger. Just like every relationship grows stronger when you invite people inside instead of leaving them outside. Today is the day to invite Jesus in. Make it count, Pastor Zac Zachary Elliott is the lead pastor at Fusion Christian Church located in Temecula. He can be contacted at (951) 676-8511.

How dogs benefit from daily walks TEMECULA – Dog owners with fenced-in backyards may think their furry friends are getting all they need during their nightly exercise sessions in the backyard. While such yards provide safe places for dogs to relax and run around, the American Humane Association (www.americanhumane.org) notes that even dogs who run wild in their backyards each day can benefit from daily walks. The following are a handful of ways dogs benefit from daily walks. Socialization: The Animal Humane Society notes that puppies between three weeks and 20 weeks old are generally accepting of other dogs, and nightly walks can provide the perfect opportunity for puppy owners to acquaint their furry friends with their fellow dogs. Continued exposure after 20 weeks can help further the socialization

process for young dogs. Behavior: While puppies can learn to socialize on daily walks, older dogs may or may not reap the same rewards. But daily walks can help dog owners instill better behavior in their dogs. The AHS advises that owners of older dogs use walks as opportunities to teach dogs to behave calmly in public. Bring treats to reward dogs for sitting quietly when encountering other dogs and new people along the walk. Exercise: Of course, daily walks provide great exercise for dogs. Dogs who are let out in the backyard each night but are not played with may not be getting the exercise their owners think they are. Dogs left alone in a backyard may briefly run around before plopping down in the grass and enjoying the fresh air. That’s not enough exercise for many breeds, and it’s certainly insufficient

for dogs who may be overweight or obese. Nightly walks can help dogs lose and/or maintain healthy weights, and the American Humane Association notes that such walks also help dogs build strength and endurance. Stimulation: According to the American Kennel Club (www.akc. org), dogs need both physical and mental stimulation to stay healthy and happy. Walks obviously provide physical stimulation, but they can stimulate dogs mentally as well. Dogs often interrupt walks when their curiosity gets the better of them, stopping to observe or investigate something while on walks, and that’s mentally stimulating. Resist the temptation to pull the leash when dogs want to stop to check something out, affording them a little time to do some mental exploration before continuing the walk.

Even dogs who run wild in their backyards each day can benefit from Courtesy photo daily walks.

Temecula native Lindsey Tuer talks reality of FOX dating show ‘Coupled’ Ashley Ludwig STAFF WRITER

The new Fox reality series, “Coupled,” that premiered early this month, created by Emmy Award Winner Mark Burnett, places 12 young upwardly mobile women on a Caribbean island. The fact that they are all looking for love in the modern world is compounded by the dreamy setting of the colorful buildings, water and local flavors where they were immersed for the production. As with most reality show love stories, this one has its own unique twist. “The women have first choice as they instantly decide if they feel a spark of chemistry and want to spend more time with each guy or if they don’t feel a connection and want to wait for the next one,” FOX stated in a release about the program. The real soap opera unfolds as new couples are formed and have to discover whether or not they have the compatibility to make their relationships last. “I had hopes and dreams going in, and was so intrigued by the concept,” Temecula native Lindsey Tuer said of her time on “Coupled.” A graduate of Temecula Valley High School, she now resides in Carlsbad where she works as a title insurance sales representative. All the women on the show are high powered professionals. In addition to working as a title insurance sales representative, Tuer also hosts a radio show called “Women’s Power Hour.” There, her guests end up talking about business, relationships and women in the workplace. “With women, the subject of relationships always seems to come up,” she said. At 30-years-old, dating is difficult enough, but dating in front of a camera created its own set of

challenges. “It takes getting used to, having cameras around and people being super vulnerable and open,” she said. “When the show started, Mark Burnett took us all aside and told us about his personal love story before we started feeling. He was genuinely encouraging for all of us to go after the opportunity on “Coupled,” and to take it one day at a time.” Tuer was intrigued by the one aspect of the new Burnett reality show that hadn’t been broached on other reality dating shows in the past. “Coupled” features one element of modern romance that has not yet been seen in a dating show, the art of texting. “We were able to take pictures, communicate back and forth with the cast,” she said. “When the guys were brought in to the picture we were able to communicate with them in that way.” The men and women are all armed with cell phones throughout the show, giving the audience a

front row seat to the real life drama. Ever on the cutting edge, Burnett and show producers will release texts between cast members on a pop up screen during the viewing, is sure to change the way dating reality shows work in the future. As for the location of the show, the island lifestyle was endlessly appealing. “We were placed in a gorgeous setting that was beautiful, elaborate and something I may never be able to afford on my own,” Tuer said. “I took in every moment that I could on that amazing island. I truly felt

like I was on vacation.” With regard to dating shows, drama and the goals of finding a perfect match, she discussed what really matters in regards to her family. “The main thing for me was knowing that my mom, and grandma would be watching,” Tuer said. “I’m a pretty real and open person with my whole family. They know me inside and out. I walked away comfortable, confident, and being who I am in real life.” As for the relationship aspects of “Coupled,” Tuer was driven

also by the possibility of finding a lasting relationship. “These days, so many guys don’t want to commit,” she said. When she learned of the show, the idea of finding someone who was similarly focused on the future was too good to pass up. “My parents have been married for over 30 years, and my brother and sister are both married. I came into the show looking to meet someone who was in the right mind-set and ready for a relationship.” “Coupled” airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

Each horse enjoys the company of the riders who can currycomb them, take a ride on the nearby Pacific Crest Trail, get to know the gentle creature and forget the things of the past. “The horses are the therapy,” says John Roberts 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 veteran’s activities. Roberts asked the veterans, caregivers and 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,” said Roberts. 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.” “Meet the horses who provide therapy, bring you favorite veterans, get to know the other (ranch) supporters, music and fun and a horseshoe tournament,” a ranch brochure says.

Gluten Free Cloud bread sweeping across the nation Ashley Ludwig WRITER

Made with just three ingredients, gluten free cloud bread as an option to regular bread is surprisingly versatile, tasty and easy to make. From Pinterest to talk shows, cloud bread made its debut earlier in 2016. Now, as summer approaches, foodies across the nation are putting their spin on this recipe to make this lighter than air bread-substitute part of their daily diet. There are no carbs in this recipe and it is rich in protein. The buttery delicious bread quite literally melts in your mouth. Some variations of the recipe include topping with meats, cheeses, chicken salad, pulled pork as sandwiches – with garlic, rosemary and olive oil for a garlic bread substitute, or made on the sweeter side with honey, brown sugar or table sugar and cinnamon. The recipe is easy as it is versatile. Just four steps from egg cracking to oven door, anyone can make this gluten free bread substitute, however baker beware. The bread itself will flourish or fail depending on your additions to the basic “dough” and the toppings and sauces you choose to put on top. Each dollop of dough is biscuit sized, and makes about 10 portions, therefore you can enjoy approximately five sandwiches from a batch. When I first learned of cloud bread, I was intrigued by the promises made. Gluten free, as well as delicious looking. Reviewers promised a rich buttery flavor, I was intrigued by the delicious looking images across Facebook, and prepared to give cloud bread a try. Note to readers, I’m a baker and former caterer – so tackling

a recipe that involves separating eggs and whipping whites into a foamy froth isn’t something that frightens me. If you’ve never done one or the other, this is an ideal place to start. A few notes on baking with meringue or frothed egg whites, make sure your oven is well preheated. Start preheating as you gather your ingredients. From start to finish, cloud bread takes approximately 30 minutes to make. Bread is best served when cool, and can be stored for about three days, if it will last in your kitchen that long. The consistency of the cloud bread is springy to the touch. It isn’t heavy or bready the way that toast, biscuits or rolls might be. The bread itself is basically flavorless, so you will only get out of cloud bread what you put into it. Make it sweet – to enjoy cloud bread for breakfast – include a dash of sugar in the mix. This is a delightful way to start your day. When you have a breakfast of cloud bread with your morning

[Left] When you attempt cloud bread, be sure to use room temperature ingredients, and softened cream cheese for even stirring. Whipped egg whites should be frothy, between a sour cream and stiff peak consistency.

[Right] Cloud bread on its own is virtually flavorless. Add either salt and chopped rosemary for savory, or honey, brown sugar or table sugar for sweetness.

Enjoy your cloud bread with pulled pork, chicken salad, meats or made into tiny pizzas.

Tips for Selling Your House Quickly for the most money and with the least amount of stress to you and your family. If they are true professionals, they won’t have an issue with your careful consideration of the valuable information they have shared with you. Second rule is to listen to your real estate agent. Sure, you know your home, but he knows how to sell your house. Remember, you chose your agent because he was the best and you like him; now you must trust your agent. Even if you place full faith in both the agent and the Real estate agent, you may still find yourself disagreeing with some of their proposals. If he says you should paint a room, or the whole house it’s because he is looking at the big picture. If your agent suggests you lower your price, then lower the price-- yes, you can get more by asking for less.

Mike Mason and John Occhi SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Herewith, you will find how to prepare yourself with these tips for selling your house quickly and you’ll be in escrow before you have to mow the lawn again. Of course, you’ll have to prepare yourself, your family and your home if you want to sell your house fast. To accomplish this, there are two very basic rules that you should follow early in the process of preparing to sell your house. Two rules to sell your house fast First rule is to find a Seller’s Agent that you trust and like. Selling your house fast requires teamwork and communication. Don’t let anyone hustle you with pie-in-the-sky promises they can’t deliver. You need to interview three highly regarded agents in your community before making a decision. Realize that the real estate agent you hire is a professional with a wealth of market knowledge, professional contacts and years of experience – all valuable resources that are beneficial to selling your house quickly,

Selling your house quickly Many professional real estate agents find that sellers have a plethora of obstacles to overcome which is stressful when their clients plead, “Sell my house quickly!” Learn from these examples… Price it right to sell your house fast In the competitive world of real estate, many agents believe that in order to obtain the listing they want, they should always push the envelope to convince sellers that they are such great agents that they will get the

highest possible price and that they know what is best and how to sell your house. Hogwash. Let the market set the price and sell your house. You are much better off starting with a lower asking price than a higher one. A value that is set slightly (1 percent to 3 percent) below the market value is much more likely to sell your house quickly and for more money than one priced at the very top of the market. Many sellers want room to negotiate and so if there is no action in a few weeks, they can always bring down the price. The problem is that when you start high and lower the price, rarely do you get fair market value and even rarer do you ever get the number that you would have gotten by starting low and letting anxious buyers bring the value up. Then the sellers end up blaming the agent and ask, “why can’t you sell my house?” Price your home too high and you’ll do nothing but scare off buyers. When offers do come in, they’ll be low-ball offers anticipating your pain and eagerness to move. This is not how to sell a house. Be Different to Sell Your Home Fast Sure, every real estate agent who wants to sell your home has a pitch that includes all of the latest gadgetry and electronic gizmos to tell the world about your home. There is no doubt, in this day and age that some of it is necessary. In today’s internet society the home buyer public has access to information – too much information at times. Not everyone who reads Multiple Listing Service data fully understands what they are reading, regardless of how a third party web site massages it and presents it. This information overload actually slows down the process as home buyers often feel the need to go back and research this and that. Many top agents will agree: keeping it simple is better. See if the agents you interview might have some old school real estate sales techniques up his sleeve that can make your listing stand out from the crowd.

taken care of in years, home renovations are not always the cure-all to selling your house quickly. Rarely does the cost of a home renovation ever get recovered by the home seller, yet almost every seller tells every real estate agent about how they spent $25,000 on this project and $10,000 on that one and so their home has to be worth at least $35,000 more than the neighbors down the street, who have never done anything to improve their house. A coat of paint and new carpet take care of many obstacles to a prospective buyer, but all it does is maintain the status quo. It’s better to have the fresh and new, because that’s what the buyers expect – they won’t necessarily give you more. However, they won’t be kicking the tires either by saying “there is so much work to be done” to justify the lowball offer they presented.

Home Repair Can Help Sell Your Home Fast While a well-maintained home will always appeal more to a home buyer than a shabby home that has not been

While Republicans and Democrats are both spending money to improve their homes, it’s how they’re spending it that’s different. According to the survey, Republican homeowners are nearly 20 percent more likely than Democrat homeowners to complete home projects when they think it will be too expensive to hire a professional. Further, Democrats are more likely than Republicans to hire professionals

Republicans and Democrats may differ politically, but due to an upswing in the U.S. labor and real estate markets, it’s a fact that bipartisan home improvement spending is on the rise.

TEMECULA – If you’re voting Democrat this fall, you’re more likely than your Republican-voting counterparts to spend the extra money to hire a professional for your home projects. Political affiliations have a tendency to directly affect attitudes and decision-making regarding home repair and improvement projects, according to the findings of a recent HomeAdvisor survey. But with improving labor and real estate markets – and an upcoming presidential election – how does partisan thinking factor into home improvement? As it turns out, home improvement spending crosses political lines. According to HomeAdvisor’s 2016 True Cost Report, all homeowners – Democrats and Republicans alike – are focusing on remodeling, routine maintenance and repair, and energy and security projects. In fact, in the last 12 months the number of homeowners who reported completion of two home maintenance and repair projects increased nearly 12 percent. Additionally, many homeowners said they expect to increase spending on major home improvement projects in 2016. So what’s with the bipartisan boom? “We attribute this rise to the shrinking housing inventories and increasing home prices, which provide equity for homeowners to boost the enjoyment and monetary values of their existing properties,” said Leah Ingram, HomeAdvisor’s cost adviser.

Crafts for the not-so-crafty hobbyist Grow comfortable with a computer. Homespun graphic arts can be completed by just about anyone with access to some clip art, fonts and basic design software. You may also be able to find free apps or shareware online providing ready-made templates. Print out cute labels or tags that match party themes and put them on favor bags or prizes. Print cute slogans on cardstock and staple them to a small, filled plastic baggie to serve as classroom gifts or Valentines. Make a collage of different images and print them out to frame. Or snap a picture of a particular pattern or design element that fits with a room’s theme and then frame that image for matching artwork. Make soaps or candles thanks to the bevy of kits available at craft stores, it’s easier than ever to make your own soaps or candles at home. All it usually takes is melting down the medium, add-

ing the desired scents and colors and then allowing them to set in a mold or container. The result may seem like you worked for hours when really it was a relatively easy task. These handmade products can make great hostess gifts or nice touches when guests stay over at your home. Personalize clothing. You do not have to be an artist to create T-shirts, aprons or other items that have that personalized touch. If you do not want to hassle with the mess of fabric paints or pens, use iron-on stencils or letters. Another idea is to create your own stencil (fire up that printer again), cut out your design or letters and then use a bleach pen sold in the laundry or cleaning aisle to color in the design. Let it sit and then launder for a faded and fun project. Crafting doesn’t have to be difficult. Projects exist for people of varying skill levels.

TEMECULA – Creativity lends a lot to everyday life. School parties are made that much better by intricate dessert designs. Handmade blankets tend to be more inspiring and cherished than massproduced alternatives. Because of that, many people find hobbies that inspire their creativity to be incredibly rewarding. While crafting is a hobby that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skillsets, some people are more craft-inclined than others. That doesn’t mean those with little arts and crafts experience cannot make items they can be proud of. The following are a handful of projects for inexperienced crafters who may feel as though they have two left thumbs. Dress-up premade items. Sandra Lee made a career of teaching people how to blend some prepackaged food items with other ingredients to create semi-homemade menus. Anyone can use the same mentality to put together craft projects without having to start from scratch. Search the hobby stores or department stores for items that can be paired together. Mason jars can be embellished with just about anything – from ribbon to fabric to glitter – giving them a decorative touch. Simply giving an item a new coat of paint or adding some decorative tacks or hooks can easily change its look and give it a crafty feel.

Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce announces 2016 Southwest Regional Economic Forecast TEMECULA – Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Economic Development Corporation of Southwest County and UCR School of Business Center for Economic Forecasting and Development, are proud to announce the 2016 Southwest Regional Economic Forecast. It is scheduled for Wednesday, June 8, from 7:30-10 a.m. at Pechanga Resort & Casino. The event title sponsors are Loma Linda University Medical Center, Murrieta and Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors.

Keynote Speakers include Chase Untermeyer, International Business Consultant and Christopher Thornburg, Director at UC Riverside Center for Economic Forecasting at the School of Business Administration. Untermeyer has been an international business consultant since returning in 2007 from Qatar, where he served three years as United States ambassador on appointment of President George W. Bush. He has held both elected and appointed offices at all four levels of government – local, state, national and international – with work in journalism, academia and business as well. Upon the conclusion of his government service Jan. 20 1993, Untermeyer became director of public affairs at Compaq Computer Corporation (since merged with Hewlett-Packard). From 2002 until his appointment as ambassador to Qatar in 2004, he was vice president for government affairs and professor of public policy at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. He is currently a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Texas Ethics Commission, and the board of the Episcopal Health Foundation. He chairs the advisory board of The Soufan Group, which provides strategic security intelligence services to governments and multinational organizations. “The United States and Western Europe have been dependent on trade for centuries. And yet today there is a significant popular backlash in many countries, including both major political parties in the U.S., against ‘trade deals.’ The challenge for those involved in international business is to make the case to jittery politicians and their heated constituents that the American economy depends on robust foreign trade and would be grievously harmed by an ‘Americafirst’ policy,” Untermeyer said. Thornberg is Director of the UC Riverside Center for Economic Forecasting at the School of Business Administration (SoBA) and an Adjunct Professor at SoBA. He is also the Founding Partner of Beacon Economics LLC. Thornberg is widely considered to be one of the nation’s leading economists. An expert in economic forecasting,

regional economics, labor markets, economic policy and real estate analysis, he was one of the earliest and most adamant predictors of the subprime mortgage market crash that began in 2007 and of the global economic recession that followed. Since 2006, he has served on the advisory board of Wall Street hedge fund, Paulson & Co. Inc. In 2015, he was named to California State Treasurer John Chiang’s Council of Economic Advisors, the body that advises the Treasurer on emerging strengths and vulnerabilities within the state’s economy. A highly sought after speaker, Thornberg regularly presents to leading business, government, and nonprofit organizations across the globe. He has testified before the U.S. Congress House Committee on Financial Services on municipal debt issues, and before the California State Assembly Committee on Revenue and Taxation regarding rule changes related to Proposition 13. “From home prices to job growth to industry trends, there is a lot to talk about in this region’s local economy. Things have changed markedly since the recession and the area is becoming an increasingly important part of the state’s overall economy,” Thornberg said. Presenting city managers include, Aaron Adams, City of Temecula; Grant Yates, City of Lake Elsinore; Rob Johnson, City of Menifee; Rick Dudley, City of Murrieta and Gary Nordquist, City of Wildomar. Hear from these leading strategic advisors on a variety of topics including, consumer interests, development trends, case studies, latest trends in Southern California real estate, retail demographics and retail recruitment and business retention.

TVUSD board member responds to Clause opinion piece Kristi Rutz-Robbins, Ph.D. TVUSD BOARD MEMBER AND BOARD PRESIDENT

Rob Clause’s opinion piece titled “TVUSD School Board elections, you don’t get to vote!” published in the Valley News was filled with inaccurate and misleading statements. Rob Clause is a teacher in the TVUSD school district. He holds a leadership position in the teacher’s union (TVEA). The teacher’s union leadership did not support the shift to by-trustee area voting boundaries and are upset that the State Board of Education recently approved the last step of the process. Their stated opposition at the podium during public comments at both the District and State Board of Education meetings, cited specific accusations of concern for the possible re-election of myself and Dr. Pulsipher as their grounds for not wanting the change to occur because they believe it gives us an election advantage. This is not true, however, TVEA union leadership continues to state it as a confirmed fact, so they believe it to be true. Here are some facts you need to know in response to Rob Clause’s editorial “TVUSD School Board elections, you don’t get to vote!” Fact: The title statement is not true. Everyone will vote for their district representative every four years. Rather than having at-large representatives on the Board, TVUSD Board of Trustees representation is divided into five smaller by-trustee voting areas. Every TVUSD resident votes for their area representative every four years. “On May 12, the State Board of Education approved TVUSD’s expedited effort to change the way local board members are elected. The result is that 60 percent of voters within TVUSD boundaries will be unable to vote in the November school board election. If you live in French Valley, Paloma del Sol, Meadowview, Paseo del Sol, Crowne Hill, Wine Country, and many other neighborhoods, this includes you.” Fact: With the by-trustee area election process, TVUSD voters will vote every four years for a representative from their trustee area. Two trustee areas will hold elections this November. Three trustee areas will hold elections in two years, and so on. French Valley, Paloma del Sol, Meadowview, Paseo del Sol, Crowne Hill, and Wine Country are in areas that will hold their elections in two years. Board members are elected to four year terms. The process of making the switch followed a normal time line similar to what other districts have done. “The District’s stated rationale for rushing to change the rules is fear of a lawsuit based on voter disenfranchisement, even though no evidence of disenfranchisement has been presented.” Fact: The Voting Rights Act is the law and has been so since 2001. Without rushing we waited for years to see how the courts would rule on it. The Board followed the impact and interpretation of the Voting Rights Act and we now know that no district has been successful in court in challenging the law in order to sustain at-large voting. We, and Murrieta Valley Unified School District, were the last two districts in Riverside County to continue to hold at-large elections. Clearly, we have not rushed to this decision. Additionally, no Hispanic or Asian candidates have been elected to the Board. The District Hispanic population makes up 30.6 percent of this District and Asian and Pacific Islander populations make up 8.8 percent percent of the District. All five members of the current Board are white, while only 47.2 percent of the District is white. This is enough evidence to be considered out of compliance with the Voting Rights Act. However, the courts have ruled in a way that shows it doesn’t matter what arguments are put up by school districts to try to sustain at-large voting, they must make the switch. “Our school district has experienced several well-publicized mishaps in the last few years, contributing to three new members being elected in the 2014 elections.” Fact: To say mishaps is biased and implies the District was in the wrong. Because some people have not liked a decision made by this District does not make that decision a mishap. As for board member turn over, one school board member chose not run for re-election. The other two chose not to run active campaigns and were not

re-elected. The voters spoke and elected new members. You have a choice and a right to exercise that choice. The outcome of any election is in the voter’s hands. “Two long-serving incumbents, Kristi Rutz-Robbins and Alan Pulsipher, are up for re-election this November and don’t want to face the same fate as their colleagues two years ago. The new election rules make it so Rutz-Robbins and Pulsipher only have to face challengers from the area of the district in which they live. This is a distinct advantage for them, an advantage that they voted to give themselves. Board members aren’t supposed to vote on issues that give them a personal advantage.” Fact: Dr. Pulsipher and I, Dr. Rutz-Robbins, have served on the Board for seven years. The switch to by-trustee voting areas was approved by a full Board vote, not by a vote by two board members in isolation. Being in a by-trustee voting area is neither an advantage nor disadvantage in elections. The potential for losing a lawsuit, having an at-large election overturned by the courts, and having to front the costs to run a special election was logically enough to vote to approve the switch. We hired an outside company to draw up boundaries based on the rules of law and then the entire Board voted according to law. Since all board members will be elected in by-trustee voting areas, this action impacted all five board members, not just two. The entire Board voted on the topic like it must. No board member is supposed to recuse themselves from this vote. This is not a topic on which there is personal advantage or interest. This is setting policy and direction for the district which is what our governing board is responsible for. “District staff’s efforts to protect these board members did not go unnoticed by the board.” Fact: Staff was not involved in asking for this change. The lawyer to the Board when asked his opinion by the Board President expressed his belief to the Board and superintendent that the Board needed to switch to by-trustee voting areas to avoid the costs of a lawsuit for not following the Voting Rights Act as soon as possible. He is not district staff. District staff did not participate in drawing up the by-trustee voting areas, an outside company was hired and only Board members could vote. The entire Board voted and the action passed. This was not an action taken by staff. “Superintendent Ritter just received a massive salary increase that will take him from $216,000 to $276,000 over the next few years, a 28 percent increase. This is remarkable considering teachers and classified staff received a 1 percent salary increase.” Fact: Mr. Ritter’s salary was $216,000. The Board realigned the superintendent salary schedule and the leadership cabinet’s salaries to be near regional school district leadership salary averages. Pending positive performance evaluations their salaries may move on the schedule. July 1, 2016, Mr. Ritter’s salary may move to $244,000 pending his evaluation. The Jan. 1, 2016, average salary for five comparative superintendents was $243,374. Specifically, Desert Sands’ superintendent earned $279,575; Lake Elsinore’s superintendent earned $250,479; Moreno Valley’s superintendent earned $233,440, but that has since changed to $240,196; Hemet’s superintendent earned $226.725, and that has already been changed to $246,921; Murrieta Valley’s superintendent earned $226,649. The current known average is $248,760 making Mr. Ritter’s salary a normal salary for this region. But, to put it in perspective, the LA Unified School District’s superintendent earned $442,801, Long Beach Unified School District’s superintendent earned $364, 492; San Marcos Unified School District’s Superintendent earned $317,856 and Corona-Norco Unified School District’s superintendent earned $301,597. Teachers and classified staff salaries were also raised this year to be near surrounding school district averages as Rob Clause indicated, their salaries just were not so far off the norm. During the Great Recession we hired Mr. Ritter at a reduced low salary as a new superintendent, $20,000 less than the former superintendent’s salary. We did not adjust leadership salaries to be near competitive prices throughout the entire economic crisis. Mr. Ritter

actually took pay cuts. Now that the economy is functioning well and funding is returning to school districts we are readjusting salaries to be competitive. Keeping strong leadership requires competitive salaries as anyone in the business world can tell you. “Mr. Ritter, when he retires in a few years, will leave with a taxpayer-funded pension in excess of $200,000 annually.” Fact: All California teachers and superintendents get taxpayerfunded pensions relative to the amount they earned and paid into the California education employee’s retirement program called CALSTRS. Every month Mr. Ritter contributes about 9 percent of his salary to that fund as do all the rest of the teachers. Teachers, principals and superintendents do not pay into the federal Social Security program and nor do they get Social Security retirement pensions. The teacher retirement pension program replaces Social Security benefits. “The following are just a few examples of what’s been going on in TVUSD over the last few years that account for Rutz-Robbins and Pulsipher feeling the need to seek protection from the electorate: A bungled 21 Jump Street style undercover drug sting that netted no kingpins, rounded up many special education students, and resulted in the District being soundly chastised by an administrative law judge.” Fact: One, myself, Dr. RutzRobbins and Dr. Pulsipher are not protected from the electorate, nor do we seek to be protected from the electorate. That said, Clause is referring to a Riverside County Sheriff Department’s actions over the years in regional school districts, TVUSD included. Following a Sheriff’s Department undercover drug operation, which TVUSD like many school districts cooperated with for the safety of students, the family of a student arrested for selling drugs to an undercover cop in school filed a civil lawsuit against the District. The Califor-

nia Superior Court found that the District was not liable and there was no wrong doing in response to that civil complaint. Special education law has rules governing how special education students caught breaking the law in public schools are handled regarding expulsion processes. The school district adheres to law. An administrative law judge took issue with police action in the schools regarding an arrested student. The Riverside County Sheriff’s department are not employees of the school district and are not governed by the Board. Credible allegations of nepotism against the superintendent that were dismissed by an “internal investigation.” Fact: Clause is referring to fact that a relative of the superintendent is employed by the school district. Human Resources has reaffirmed before the Board and public that the process for hiring of this employee was consistently followed. The entire Board sat for the public review and accepted the findings based on facts presented and not rhetoric stirred up by false accusations. The review clearly determined that a fair hiring process was followed. It is the opinion of many that the intention of those involved in bringing attention to the hiring of this individual 3 ½ years later and knowingly misrepresenting the facts was merely a malicious attempt to defame the superintendent and the employee. Consistent with policy that governs all TVUSD employees, their spouses, children, cousins, etc., the relative employee does not work directly for the family member, in this case the superintendent. We are a large school district and one of the city’s largest employers, many sets of family members work in this district. “The mishandled termination of a middle school principal resulting in student walkouts and parent protests.” Fact: Because people protested the reassignment of a middle school

principal does not mean the situation was mishandled by the District. The District followed appropriate laws and processes governing reassignments. The disruption that followed the transition was not initiated by the District but rather was promoted by adults who disagreed with the decision and chose to involve their children and disrupt the educational process. District staff monitored the safety of the students involved in the walkouts created and respected their freedom of speech. The Superintendent is hired to oversee all District employees and make employment determinations in the best interest of the District. The Board supported the Superintendent’s decision to reassign the principal. “The forced closure of a successful charter school by unilateral contract modification, fabricated educational performance criteria, and grossly inaccurate financial data.” Fact: The closed charter school is Mr. Clause’s wife’s former charter school. The school relinquished its charter due to inability to maintain appropriate funding to support the school. We accepted the charter’s signed agreement to close the charter in a public board meeting. It was not unilateral. Educational performance was not part of the reason for closure, nor was any data fabricated to that end. The charter provided financial documentation to the Board. State law governs viability criteria for charter schools and school districts cannot use inaccurate financial data to maintain school operations. Outside auditors check school district finances every year. We regret closure of any charter school we are responsible for. The Board is fiscally responsible for the welfare of the school district. “Are any of these things concerning to you? If so, that’s too bad because three of your five board members decided that most of you

(Rob Clause and Kim Evans) were traveling to Sacramento to represent the union (TVEA) in opposition to the waiver approval, the District sent TVUSD’s Public Information Officer to be available with documents and data representing the process and timeline followed to assist the State Board of Education with making an informed decision. The attorney for the District was already in Sacramento on someone else’s dime and did not charge the District for traveling. Our PIO did not spend thousands of dollars. The district purchased a flight there and back and a night in a hotel for about $850. This is not “thousands of dollars.” Be accurate.

The District spent thousands of taxpayer dollars last week to send their public information officer and attorney to Sacramento to convince the State Board of Education that the voting change is appropriate since there were no protests against it.” Fact: The State Board of Education has approved over a hundred waivers for by-trustee area voting in the state. So long as the law is followed they approve the waiver, protests to the waiver are not grounds for denying the waiver. Upon learning last minute that two teachers

“Although the District’s actions to change the voting rules violate two provisions of Ed Code section 33051, the State Board was convinced that everyone in our community was notified of this change. Did you know you wouldn’t be able to vote?” Fact: Ed Code Section 33051 reads: “(a) The state board shall approve any and all requests for waivers except in those cases where the board specifically finds any of the following: (1) The educational needs of the pupils are not adequately addressed. (2) The waiver affects a program that requires the existence of a school site council and the school site council did not approve the request. (3) The appropriate councils or advisory committees, including bilingual advisory committees, did not have an adequate opportunity to review the request and the request did not include a written summary of any objections to the request by the councils or advisory committees.

ernance.” Effective governance is done by people who know what they are doing. The passage of time does not make board members lose the ability to scrutinize. Years of experience, in fact, ensures board members don’t make mistakes due to inexperience. Be careful to think term limits is a positive thing, a lot is lost when losing experienced people. For example, when experienced teachers retire, it is a loss to students. New teachers have a lot to learn everyone would agree. We would not want term limits on teachers. The same goes for Board governance. Experience is an asset to our students. And, the public has the right to exercise choice about extensions or limits on a term at the voting booth. This Board makes decisions based on data, logic and reason, not opinions and emotions. We make decisions, based on the best research that is available, which then helps provide the best educational system possible, TVUSD schools are a tremendous asset to our students and the community. 93.8 percent of our students graduate, the highest in Riverside County. We have the lowest drop out rate in the county. We have the highest number of students completing the A-G college entrance requirements in Riverside County. We are expanding our career technical education programs. We give our teachers time to collaborate to best support student learning. We provide intervention to prevent kids from failing. We have dedicated counselors and educational support for at-risk students. We have better behaved students and fewer expulsions than a decade ago. We provide high quality arts and athletic programs and have added elementary school visual and performing arts teachers and physical education teachers. We believe our teachers and staff are great, our parents are great, and our kids are great. Look at data and decide.

Helping local hospitals Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Earlier this year, the legislature came together to pass bipartisan healthcare financial reform legislation that will have a wide impact in this region and state. This legislative package will result in a net tax cut of over $100 million and reduce the state’s long-term debt by more than $400 million. But there’s much more. The bill package included a bill I co-authored, AB X2-1. In 2013, the state eliminated special reimbursements for nursing homes run by hospital systems, resulting in a so-called “clawback,” requiring hospitals to return funds previously allocated. Local hospitals and health care districts including Palomar Health, Sharp Hospital and the Fallbrook Healthcare District were required to pay back $12 million, $7.3 million and $1.2 million respectively. Under provisions of AB X2-1, these debts, which threatened to undermine the hospitals’ fiscal solvency

and healthcare availability, will now be eliminated. In addition, funding for the developmentally disabled, which the governor failed to include in his budget, will increase by more than $300 million, with an additional 7.5 percent increase in funding for regional centers serving their needs. Along with bipartisan legislative approval, these reforms received wide support from the health care industry. By passing this legislative package, the legislature rejected previous proposals which would have increased health insurance taxes by $650 million, raising taxes on 24 million Californians. In the words of the California Chamber of Commerce, this legislation constitutes a “comprehensive solution that is a win-win for California.” Passage of this reform package is not only a victory for the developmentally disabled, for local hospitals and the patients they serve, it’s also a victory for California’s over-burdened taxpayers.

tially increase state costs. (7) The exclusive representative of employees, if any, as provided in Chapter 10.7 (commencing with Section 3540) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code, was not a participant in the development of the waiver. (b) The governing board of a school district that has requested and received a general waiver under this article for two consecutive years for the same general waiver is not required to reapply annually if the information contained on the request remains current.” The District was in full compliance with Ed Code., and as none of the exclusions were applicable, the State Board of Education therefore approved the waiver. The teacher’s union (TVEA) had been appropriately notified of the waiver process, the newspaper ran an article to make sure the public was aware, the District held two public hearings prior to making the decision and posted the information on the District Web page. Additionally, the District did not submit the waiver to the State Board until February 2016, after a comprehensive process was completed that involved sharing information with District advisory boards and committees. The only people who protested the switch to by-trustee voting areas were two potential board candidates, Rob Clause, Kim Evans and Jeff Kingsberg, all members of the leadership of the teacher’s union (TVEA). There were no other voiced concerns from the entire TVUSD community throughout a six month public process that covered the entire by-trustee voting area discussion. “This situation is the poster child for term limits for school board members. Rutz-Robbins and Pulsipher have served our community for many years, but they’ve become so close to district administration that they’ve lost their ability to provide the healthy bit of scrutiny that is essential for effective gov-
