Since 2015, the city of Lake Elsinore has undertaken public projects for the upcoming summer. After acquiring the property for the Serenity Park BMX track and dog park in 2015, the city wanted to ensure completion by May. The original completion goal was for the end of the fiscal year in July, however, through the combined effort of RHA Landscape Architects-Planners and A & M Construction, the project was finished a month ahead of schedule. The park held a ribbon-cutting ceremony May 24 to open the new space. The $1.38 million budget was funded through acquired bond refinancing to create a park for more of the community. Phase II of design began October 2016 and added multiple features to enhance the park. To meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities

Senior Citizens Service Center moves to new location Tony Ault TAULT@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Senior Citizens Service Center and Food Bank, serving the Temecula/Murrieta community for almost 40 years, has been forced to move to a new location due to rising rents and reduced income in recent months. The center and food bank will be combining its operations with two other food bank organizations and will continue to serve the senior and low-income community in its new location, as it has done faithfully for many years from its previous location on Eastman Drive in Temecula. As of mid-June or sooner, the center and food bank will be operating out its new location, 41760 Rider Way in Temecula, according

Lake Elsinore council lays groundwork to battle SoCal Edison transmission lines Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Lake Elsinore City Council unanimously approved a plan to combat two high-voltage transmission lines proposed to go through the city during a May 23 council meeting. Both lines are proposed by the Southern California Edison corporation. Community development director Grant Taylor said during a status update on the proposals the city had several issues with them, including the fact that the project comes within a quarter mile of 10 different schools. Some structures are also within 1,000 feet of the flight path of the Skylark Field Airport, something that was not analyzed in the proposal, Taylor said. “These poles traverse our commercial and industrial areas, a number of streets, residential areas,” Taylor said. The proposals will likely have a negative impact on commercial centers, he said. “Access would be affected, signs, visitors don’t want to go (to affected centers),” Taylor said. “And that results in the profitability going down, the tenant quality going down and the income going down.” The entirety of both projects are above ground. The projects also impact 11 roads in Lake Elsinore, more than any other affected municipality. “This is crap, and they know it’s crap,” said councilmember Brian Tisdale. “They’re not going to take advantage of Lake Elsinore. I’m not going to stand by and let them take advantage of Lake Elsinore if I have to tie myself to a pole. I’m not a tree hugger, but we do what we have to do.”
In Memoriam
The first line, the Valley-Ivyglen transmission line, as is currently proposed, will begin at the Valley substation in Menifee, enter the city limits just east of Interstate 15 at Central Avenue, wind through much of central Lake Elsinore and terminate at the Ivyglen substation in Corona. The Alberhill transmission line is planned to connect Menifee’s Newcomb substation with a newlyproposed Alberhill substation. The new substation, if constructed, will be located on the north side of Lake Elsinore just outside of city limits, but within the city’s sphere of influence. In all, the proposed transmission lines comprise 682 new structures along 11 miles within Lake Elsinore. The council’s nine-step plan of action, presented to the council by community development director Grant Taylor, stipulates the council takes steps to initiate a formal lobbying strategy, partner with nearby affected cities and draft an ordinance requiring future transmission lines to be built underground. The city also unanimously approved an ordinance establishing civil fines for violations of lake use regulations, as well as a task force to fight homelessness in the city. “Nobody woke up one day and said they wanted to be homeless,” Tisdale said. “So we can’t give up on people. Councilmember Daryl Hickman urged residents to report vehicles they see transporting homeless people into the area. “We know people are bringing in and dropping off the homeless in this city,” Hickman said. “And we’ve got to stop that. I don’t mind taking care of our people, but I’m not taking care of San Bernardino and other places.”

New sidewalks will be installed in Old Town TEMECULA – Construction of new sidewalks and related improvements in Old Town began May 30. The planned improvements include installing new sidewalks, constructing curb, gutter and associated improvements and creating a new streetscape with four new lamp posts and six new trees along the sidewalk on the south side of Fifth Street and installing new sidewalk and a small retaining wall adjacent to the sidewalk on Old Town Front Street from the post office to Moreno Road. The project is scheduled to be completed by Sept. 14.To accomplish this goal, the work will be completed Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and to minimize impacts to nearby residents on Fifth Street, there will be no weekend, holiday or nighttime construction. No road closures are planned, and any temporary lane closures will have appropriate traffic control. Drivers should allow additional time when traveling in these areas.

of BMX track,” senior management analyst Nicole Dailey said. One promising feature for the BMX riders was the inclusion of a 12,600 square-foot pump track. It has a dirt-formed track with a 6-inch asphalt cap. The pump track is a series of various size mounds, which allows the rider to traverse the track without pedaling, if done properly. The technique is for the rider to use their core muscles, using their arms, legs and stomach in a pumping action to propel them around the track. In addition to the city’s numerous projects, they are hosting various recreational classes for this upcoming season, such as acting, ballet folklorico, martial arts, tennis and zumba for adults and separate classes for children, such as children’s ballet classes, hip hop, early learners and access to the Learning
Center preschool. As for the rising temperatures, Lake Elsinore’s recreational activities will all be available for the public. Dailey also reported on the quality of the lake water. “The state of the lake is improved, but still faces challenges, since the lake is just below our optimal level now due to evaporation,” Daily said. “Plus, anytime there are large rainfall events, the water flows carry with them new nutrients that can be detrimental to the overall water quality.” The city has seen great improvement, but they remain cautious and diligent in their efforts to best manage and monitor the lake. The city of Lake Elsinore is prepared for the upcoming summer season as they open more recreational programs for the greater community.

Part of investing in its youth, Menifee schools and city officials believe it is never too early to introduce STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) skills to children. To this end, Menifee offers Summer Camp and Tiny Tots Pre-school that incorporate STEM activities to help children slowly adjust to the school setting and improve their learning readiness. To create a playful environment with the input of its youth, Menifee collaborates with members of the Youth Advisory Committee, who are a critical component of city events and programs, and the City’s efforts to encourage play. In August 2016, the Menifee Youth Advisory Committee was recognized in the Western City-League of California Cities magazine as winners of the Ruth Vreeland Award for Engaging Youth in Government 2015 Helen Putnam Award Program. “It’s a huge honor to be named a Playful City USA,” said Interim City Manager Ron Bradley. “It not only validates the many programs staff is implementing to encourage Menifee residents to get outside and be active, receiving this designation makes the city eligible to apply for large grants to help fund more programs and initiatives to promote an active youth community.” Menifee is one of only 258 cities nationwide recognized as a Playful City USA community by KaBOOM!, a national nonprofit that creates places to play, inspires communities to promote and support play and works to drive the national discussion about the importance of play in fostering healthy and productive lives. Since 1996, KaBOOM! has collaborated with partners to build, open or improve nearly 16,700 playgrounds, engaged more than 1 million volunteers and served 8.5 million children.

MENIFEE – The city of Menifee announced last week that it has been designated as a “2017 Playful City USA” community, one of only 31 California cities to be honored this year. Playful City USA honors cities and towns across the country for putting the needs of families first, so children can learn, grow and develop important life skills. These communities are recognized for transforming ordinary places into playful spaces and using play as a solution to the challenges facing their residents. The 2017 Playful City USA recognition includes 258 communities from Virginia to California that make it as easy as possible for children to play. In total, these communities feature more than 14,000 safe and engaging play spaces, which serve more than 4 million children nationwide. “The city of Menifee works hard to provide outstanding classes, clean and safe parks and community programs to encourage Menifee residents to be active and enjoy the beautiful city in which we live,” said Menifee Mayor Neil R. Winter. “We are proud to receive this designation and we’re motivated to continue building a strong, active community in Menifee.” Since its incorporation in 2008, the city of Menifee has worked to advance play in the community through a variety of partnerships, policies and programs, including its Living Healthy, Building Community project. Additionally, the city is committed to improving resident’s quality of life by providing safe and well-maintained parks and dedicated open spaces for its residents now and in the future. On March 1, the city reopened the Audie Murphy Skate Park and introduced the “Skates & Sounds” event. Through a partnership with DSTNY Project, a faith-based organization committed to economic development and building community, the new Skates & Sounds event is offered at the Skate Park on a monthly basis featuring skate and scooter competitions, prizes for skate board and scooter

In other business, Elliano Deanna and staff offered amendments to city ordinance amendments 17-001 and 17-022, establishing new overlays in some commercial zones, updating other chapters in the Hemet Municipal Code and eliminating a downtown parking zone and retitling some commercial zones. She said the amendments will revise and refine the development code standards for commercial, public facility and institutional uses consistent with the city’s general plan. The council gave its approval to the amendments, so the staff can now file a Notice of Exemption with the county clerk for the California Environmental Quality Act on city ordinance bills 17-019 and 17-022.

commercial buildings and homes ignited and quickly spread. No damage to structures or businesses was reported due to the department’s quick response, but the danger of more grassfires within the city continues. Brown said fire inspections are continuing, but the inspectors are not always seeing that clean up orders are being mitigated by property owners. He said the fire department is working closely with code enforcement officers to step up the inspections, but manpower is limited. The shortage of inspectors has been caused by the recession in the past few years, when the city had to reduce its workforce. He suggested Measure U funding should help improve the future manpower situation.

Murrieta Arts Council forum pursues options for public art displays Will Fritz VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Murrieta Arts Council, now in its second year, discussed future plans for increasing the prominence of art in the community at a forum at the Murrieta Public Library May 22. Jessica Large, president of the council, discussed partnering with various organizations in the community to increase art and culture as a force in Murrieta. “Last year, if you attended our visioning forum, basically the word of the evening was ‘hub,’” she said. “That has organically evolved to this year: our word is ‘partnerships.’ We want to talk about how we can partner with anybody and everybody in the community.” Large said in addition to Murrieta Arts Council’s two signature annual events – the Monster Draw festival in October, conducted with the Murrieta Valley Unified School District, and the Veterans Day fall art festival – the council would like to plan a pop-up art gallery. A citywide chalk art showcase is another possibility, Large said. The council has also looked into working with the city of Murrieta to showcase artwork. However, this hasn’t always been easy. “(The city is) just very conservative when it comes to utilizing their facilities,” she said. “We had talked about having art in city hall or at the fire stations or the community center. And there’s just so many hoops to jump through that just ends up not making it worth it.” Now, the council is looking into
working with local businesses to display art. “We’ve had businesses that are supportive in donating things,” Large said. But venue space is really the concern. “That’s again why we went to the city,” she said. “They have these buildings. Because we want the public to be able to see the art, and so businesses that give a lot of patrons are going to be our ultimate goal.” But here, too, Murrieta Arts Council has hit roadblocks. “As far as any of the mom-andpop restaurants around here, their walls are either covered, or they’re worried about the kids knocking the art down,” Large said. Casey Jurardo, one of the council’s co-founders, said, if the time and effort is put in, the council can accomplish a lot. “We can swing the bat really hard,” he said. “And we can really reach the sky. Get some of these very, very accomplished, successful and wonderful artists that we have in this community, and get them in this. And they can make a difference. The resources that we have here artistically have yet to be tapped into.” Jurardo later said the organization is working with the city of Murrieta to get more public art in the community, including establishing a re-branding effort. “Gem of the Valley,” the city’s current slogan, doesn’t cut it by any standard, Jurardo said. “That’s a weak and lazy, empty grasp at something,” he said. “It’s
like calling something a twin city. What’s the meaning there? Give it its own identity.” He also said the city has commissioned Murrieta Arts Council to assist the city in implementing a new requirement for public art in new developments. “They’ve commissioned us to go out and seek potential sculptors so that the city council, working in alliance with us, can actually agree on a public sculptor,” Jurado said. “So the city’s on the right track. We’ve gotta give kudos to the city for thinking about us and for making this happen. “You can wander into several different cities, doesn’t matter if it’s Brea, Orange, Fullerton, Palm Springs, Palm Desert—there’s art everywhere. You drive down the street, and you feel the art. You walk, and you see the art, you can touch the art. Here, there’s no art, so it’s a big thing.” And, with wineries booming in Temecula and the coming extension of Clinton Keith Road into French Valley, now is a great time to be adding art and culture to Murrieta, Jurardo said. “Clinton Keith is gonna go all the way through, so you’re gonna have traffic and economic opportunity right here in Murrieta,” he said. “So we need to give those visitors somewhere to go and something to see.” Therese Daniels, an area resident who was present at the forum, said she supports what the council is doing. “I think they’re right on the money,” she said.
Community members mingle during the Murrieta Arts Council forum May Will Fritz photo 22. The council hopes to bring more public art to the city.
Daniels’ only issue is the fact the council is focusing solely on Murrieta. “I think that trying to keep it in Murrieta only is limiting,” she said. “I think it should expand more.” One possibility, Daniels said, is for Murrieta Arts Council to work directly with Temecula wineries, though there are none in Murrieta. “The wineries are desperate to bring people up,” she said. “If they work with the wineries, the wineries could support the Murrieta Arts Council. It doesn’t hurt; it still wouldn’t take away anything.” Large said she thinks it would be “too much” to focus outside of Murrieta. “Temecula kind of has their art thing going on,” she said. “Lake Elsinore has theirs. Menifee has theirs. We welcome all artists, no matter where they’re from. But as
far as meeting with those cities, each city typically has their own arts—if not a council, then a group of some sort.” Graciela Hernandez, who runs the Academy of Ballet Arts in Murrieta and was present at the forum, said her main concern was getting a theater in Murrieta. Her academy, which is presenting a performance of Alice in Wonderland, was forced to have its production at the Temecula Valley High School theater, as there is no comparable facility in Murrieta. “I think it’s sad, because we’re a Murrieta academy,” Hernandez said. “Everything we’re developing and everything we’ve done thus far has been in Murrieta. But unfortunately, Murrieta doesn’t have the venue necessary for us to put the production together.”
CENTER from page A-1 to the group’s president, Al Kaplan. While the move is a change from its longtime location, he said it will be rent free with the assistance of Rancho Community Church. The new location will also house two other charitable food banks, the Community Mission of Hope and the Temecula Food Pantry. “We feel pretty good about it,” Kaplan said. “Without combining, we would go out of business. With this, we will sustain the legacy of Shirley Petrus.” Petrus was a founder of the nonprofit organization. Kaplan explained the organization had received a rent increase months ago from the property owner, Sen. Jeff Stone, totaling $3,000 per month, but they were able to reach it for a time. While the nonprofit charitable organization received enough donations in past years to cover rents and operations, several of their regular solicitation tables in front of supermarket locations were told by management that they were no longer permitted to be there. As a result, Kaplan said donations dropped, and the SCSC board is longer able to maintain the rent at the Eastman Drive location. It was forcing them to either seek a new location, or at worst, close. Kaplan said, on the suggestion of Stone, they contacted the Community Mission of Hope and found they might be interested in sharing a single location. “It went from there,” Kaplan said. “They contacted the Temecula Pantry, and they thought it was a good idea.” The church offered up the new location, rent free, and the charitable food and services for seniors and low-income people will continue, he said. He further explained their table, located in front of the Murrieta Albertson’s Store, is no longer permitted by order of the store’s corporate manager. The donations provided at the storefront averaged about $2,000 per month. Other donations and sales from their thrift also decreased forcing the move. “Where we will be now will not cost us any rent,” Kaplan said. The food bank will continue its food distribution services to needy senior citizens and children based on income; however, there is no longer room for a thrift store. The nonprofit organization’s food bank operations serve about 2,000 people per month. They have several programs including senior programs trips, food, Social Security and paralegal help, flu shots and even pet food, when they can. The center has also been helping some homeless people in the area with food and essentials. The SCSC will be open at the new location, 11760 Rider Way, Temecula, Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Donations are always welcome, and volunteers are needed to drive to food warehouses and for distribution.

Regional cancer task force releases initial data Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Education, prevention and early screening are important. However, screenings, treatment and recovery can be a lengthy, difficult and expensive process for patients and their support systems. Access to expert services and resources is critical. Locally, communities in Southwest Riverside County – Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore and Menifee – have joined together to form a Regional Cancer Treatment Task Force to research and address cancer-related issues. The committee has raised $84,000 and has hired Health Assessment and Research for Communities, a nonprofit research organization to assist with the work. Task force members include Riverside County supervisors, city council members from Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee and Lake Elsinore, local representatives from American Cancer Society, Michelle’s Place Breast Cancer Resource Center, Inland Empire Health Plan, Loma Linda Uni-
versity Medical Center, Riverside University Health System, Scripps Health, Sharp Healthcare, Temecula Valley Hospital, University of California Riverside School of Medicine, University of California San Diego Health, local medical doctors and a number of interested community members. David Barragan, a caregiver for his mother and a father-in-law who both died of cancer and a cancer survivor himself, shared his experiences with the task force. He spoke positively about his experiences with Moores Cancer Center at University of California San Diego Health and City of Hope, “the quality of care and quality of comfort made me feel like somebody cared about me.” T. Scott Breitfuss, partner at Bona Fide Benefits Insurance, shared his expertise on “Understanding Insurance and Medicare.” His major concerns were the cost of cancer drugs and the choices of doctor networks. The cost of cancer drugs can be $2,000 to $10,000 per month with five to six tiers of coverage, and most insurance companies will only cover portions of that cost; many are 20-33 percent co-insurance, resulting in
high costs to patients. “The doughnut hole is closing,” Breitfuss said “It has dropped in recent years from $1,800 to $1,500, $1,200 this year, to $900 next year and eventually to $300. This is good news, closing the gap to catastrophic coverage.” CEO Dr. Jenna LeComte-Hinley of Health Assessment and Research for Communities shared some of the results of their secondary data collection on cancer in southwest Riverside County. The information excerpted from their full report, which is available from the city of Temecula, was shared on an infographic. Approximately 6.1 percent of adults have been diagnosed with cancer, excluding skin cancer. There are more than 22,400 cancer survivors or people living with cancer in the region. Approximately 1,994 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year with the most common types by age-adjusted incidence rate, cases per thousand, being prostate cancer at 120, breast cancer at 115.3, lung and bronchus cancers at 47.2, breast in situ cancer at 39.4 and uterine cancer at 26.5. Approximately 924 people die
of cancer in the region each year. Half of the local deaths are due to cancers of the respiratory and intrathoracic organs and digestive organs. People without insurance are less likely to get cancer screenings. Approximately 9.1 percent of the local population or 47,775 people are uninsured. Most of southwest Riverside County is designated a primary care shortage area, a registered nurse shortage area and a medicallyunderserved population. The latter means that the need is high and the number of providers is low; hence, the longer lead times for doctor appointments and the more challenging it is to get regular cancer screenings. On average, local communities have 3,600 persons per primary care physician. Data from Merritt Hawkins, an AMN Healthcare company, recommend a required ration of 1,800:1 for primary care physicians in family practice, internal medicine and pediatrics. Approximately 1,005 oncology surgeries are performed on locals each year, with one-third of people
having their surgeries in southwest Riverside County; another third had surgeries elsewhere in Riverside County and the final third traveled outside the county for their surgery to San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties. The Regional Cancer Task Force is forming four committees to maximize expertise while minimizing the work burden. One committee will research insurance and Medicare coverage and options for cancer patients. One committee will look into the formation of a patient support foundation to defray costs. Another committee will be responsible for legislative updates and proposals. The final committee will be responsible for designing patient and provider surveys for primary data collection and getting the word out to those communities. The next task force meeting is scheduled July 27 at Temecula City Hall conference room. The agenda will be posted on the city’s website www.TemeculaCA.gov. Health Assessment and Research for Communities may be reached at (760) 404-1945 or by email staff@ harcdata.org.

New BMX Track keeps Lake Elsinore riders’ race ready
Two-and-a-half-year-old, Weston Mann, rides through the various mounds at the newly opened BMX pump Shane Gibson photos track at Serenity Park in Lake Elsinore.
JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Local residents of the BMX kind now have a new place to take their bikes out as Lake Elsinore opened Serenity Park Wednesday, May 24. The new addition to the area that houses action sports junkies not only has a new BMX track, but also
has a dog park. The BMX track is a “pump track,” meaning that riders can get through the entire course without having to pedal. “The technique is to use your ‘core’ with arms, legs and stomach in a pumping action to go around the track,” city officials say. Serenity Park is approximately 12,600 square feet of dirt formed
track with a six inch asphalt cap and was designed by Riversidebased RHA Landscape Architects. The $1.4 million project was built by AToM Engineering Construction from Hemet and completes an expansion of the park that began several years ago when the city acquired about 2.7 acres of vacant property at the park’s southern end. The dog

HS Softball: Murrieta Mesa advances to CIF-SS semifinals with 14-1 over Knight High School JP Raineri SPORTS@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The Murrieta Mesa Lady Rams have been steamrolling through the CIF Southern Section Division 3 playoffs, but early on in their quarterfinal match-up against Knight High School’s Lady Nighthawks, it looked as if they had found a worthy opponent, or so it seemed. In their first two playoff games Murrieta Mesa had not let up a single run and going into the bottom half of the second inning Thursday, May 25, the Lady Rams found themselves only up 2-1 after Knight’s M.J. Garcia took Murrieta Mesa’s ace, Autumn Pease, deep with a solo home run. That would be all she wrote as four hits from sophomore Kelci Hill and some long ball from a couple other Lady Rams helped lead Murrieta Mesa past Knight 14-1 when the dust settled. Hill doubled in the first, singled in the fifth, singled in the sixth and provided the spark for the big second inning where her hit led to a 6-run assault that took the wind out of Knight’s sails. That second inning also saw run scoring hits come from freshman Lauren Randle, Pease and Karina Romero. Home runs for Murrieta Mesa helped put the game out of reach when Randle hit a solo shot in the third inning and when junior Breeana Anderson lifted the packed energized stands to their feet with a 3-run jack in the fifth. Knight (25-5, 14-0), the Golden League Champs, came into the game on the heels of a remarkable season going undefeated in league and had only

lost 4 games before running into the Lady Rams. Over the course of the CIF-SS playoff game the Lady Rams collected 17 hits. Hill, Randle, Pre-
sleigh Pilon, Romero, Anderson and Pease each collected multiple hits as Hill and Anderson also drove in four runs each to lead Murrieta Mesa to victory.
Pease earned the win tossing seven innings, surrendering one run, four hits, struck out nine and had no walks. Sam Reynso took the loss for Knight. She threw six innings, surrendering 14 runs, 17 hits, struck out six and walked one batter. Garcia went 2-for-3 at the

CIF eliminates ambulance standby for football playoffs Joe Naiman JNAIMAN@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The CIF Board of Managers has eliminated the requirement that an ambulance or other emergency rescue vehicle be present at football playoff games. A unanimous Board of Managers vote April 5 replaced the ambulance requirement with a requirement that at least two of the precautions of an emergency rescue vehicle, a physician, a paramedic or emergency medical technician, or a certified trainer be present at the game. The previous bylaw required an emergency rescue vehicle as

well as a physician, a paramedic or a certified trainer. “It’s difficult to find an ambulance, especially in first-round games,” said CIF commissioner Jerry Schniepp. A physician, paramedic, emergency medical technician, or certified trainer would be able to render immediate emergency aid. The ambulance response time includes loading and transporting the athlete regardless of whether an ambulance is present on the field. The CIF Coordinating Council recommended the change on a 29-0 vote March 1.

Collins also advanced to the CIFSS Divisional race at Carpinteria high school Saturday, May 13, to compete for a place to move on to state championships. “The athletic department is extremely proud for all of the hard work, long hours and dedication from Miss Collins,” said River Springs Head of Athletics Dax McGregor. “We are very lucky to have someone like her representing our schools.”

JDS Creative Academy hosts Temecula’s first DigiFest TEMECULA - JDS Creative Academy held Temecula Valley’s first Digifest which celebrated “all things digital.” The festival featured a competition that accepted digitalbased entries from all ages and experience levels and programmed a series of workshops and seminars. A ribbon-cutting ceremony kicked off the festivities, where founders Diane and Scott Strand received Certificates of Recognition from both the county of Riverside and the California Small Business Bureau. The opening night presentation featured keynote speaker Greg Hill of the Directors Guild of America and Neotech Productions.
The presentation was followed over the weekend by other seminars and workshops lead by “Son of Zorn” animator James Dylan Crowley, Disney and Warner Bros. illustrator Greg Wray, Adobe-certified trainer David Creamer and Star Way Live Event Productions’ Shane Pritchard. Additionally, the Digifest film entries were presented to a crowded theater at Temeku Theaters where the filmmakers were invited to discuss their work. A banquet at the Temecula City Hall conference center capped off the weekend led by master of ceremonies and co-founder Scott

@Work Personnel Services and @Backgrounds celebrate anniversary TEMECULA – G&M Hire Enterprises, the parent company of @Work Personnel Services and @ Backgrounds Screening, announced it reached an important milestone, completing two years in business. In that short time span, partners Moses Rangel and Gregg Hassler managed to open and grow four successful @Work Personnel locations in Temecula, Riverside, Palm Desert and Carlsbad, plus @Backgrounds, a well-regarded global employment screening company. According to the partners, the rapidly expanding business started as a result of the right people and events converging at the right time. “I spent more than 22 years in the staffing industry making millions for an employer that ultimately kicked me to the curb,” Hassler
said. “In the weeks following that stunning day I decided to take control of my own future, called Moses and we started our plan to set up shop as independents. Letting me go was the best thing they could have done for me.” Hassler and Rangel brought in staffing superstar Judy Contreras and marketing expert Charlie Hoey to get the business going. The new team toasted the future and dove in. Both Hoey and Contreras left the relative safety of high-paying positions for the challenge of something new and the freedom to innovate from the start. “I saw the potential of this company from the start, and wanted to be a part of it. Gregg, Moses and Judy are a force to be reckoned with,” Hoey said. “Only two years
in, we are well ahead of our original growth projections with no signs of slowing. We are still gaining momentum.” The Temecula branch of @Work opened first, quickly earning the @Work Group National Franchise award for fastest growing new branch. A few months later, the partners acquired a location in Palm Desert, and soon enough that branch also earned the Fastest Growing New Branch Award. Carlsbad and Riverside followed, with both of those locations going full steam ahead. The @Work division of the company is currently in the top seven of @Work franchise’s 100-plus locations in terms of revenues – and growing fast. “The @Work franchise folks probably thought we were a little
overconfident, but honestly, we were not,” Rangel said. “The reality is we started with a clear business plan and a strong team, each member with their own strengths and experience in key aspects of starting and managing a business – sales, marketing, operations and community involvement.” G&M Hire Enterprises credits some of its success to its founders’ extensive roots in the communities they serve. Hassler’s concert and event business, Golden Crown Productions, has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local and regional charities over the years. “I believe in giving back,” Hassler said. “In addition to @Work and @Backgrounds, we are currently working on multiple concert events and fundraisers for the 2017
Temecula winery concert season. In November, we will be holding the WCMA (Wine Country Music Awards) at Wilson Creek Winery to benefit the Temecula Education Foundation and its music education programs.” @Work will host the Temecula Chamber of Commerce Mixer June 21 at their offices near Jefferson Avenue. This mixer will feature live music, food, drink and great networking. “It’s all about cross-marketing!” Hassler said jokingly. “But seriously, I would like to thank our entire staff and management team for believing the dream and making the company’s second anniversary so meaningful. We could not have reached this level of success alone. Look out 2017.”
Adopt three terrific tools from anthropology to conquer change Andi Simon SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Forget what they say about love. It’s change that really hurts. Corporate leaders will tell you it’s the biggest challenge they’re facing today. Constant change makes it difficult to remain relevant and to create value for customers. As humans we hate to change, whether it’s introducing a state-ofthe-art computer program or transitioning a company to a wholly new and innovative way of working, your brain literally creates chemical pain that says, “Please stop all that new work.” And so, instead of enjoying the challenges that come with trying something new, we resist. To be sure, our brains are elastic and can, in fact, adapt, but it’s not a smooth, easy or comfortable process. It’s tough enough for the people at the top to think about reworking processes and policies; imagine the difficulties when you’re talking about altering the culture of an entire workplace. Companies have cultures, whether they know it or not. It’s an amalgam of core values, beliefs and behaviors that pertain to the business and the way it is conducted. Employees live out that culture every day. When the corporate culture has to evolve, getting employees on board can be a challenge. But if company leaders can provide purpose to the changes – by showing
how they’ll improve business and create stability after the transition – they have a better shot at a quicker buy-in. To do that, though, they have to get out of the office, witness firsthand how customers use the product or service and interact with employees. I suggest adopting an “anthropologist’s tool kit” to conquer change. First, conduct observational research. Consider shadowing clients and employees as they use a product or service. Find out what their challenges are, and what trends they see that have them concerned or excited. Find customers’ pain points. What happens when someone contacts the company’s customer service center? What works, and what doesn’t? Are emails and phone calls answered? What happens when people visit the website? If responses are delayed or unsatisfactory, find out why. Use culture probes and storytelling. What are the stories customers and employees could tell if they had a company leader’s ear? Put away any defensiveness and just listen. I also advise companies to expand the research role past the executive level. Allow team leaders and others to be a part of the company’s new story and encourage them to visualize how they can play new roles in an emerging business environment. They’ll be the energy behind your innovation. Andi Simon, author of “On
the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights,” is a corporate anthropologist and award-winning author. She is the founder and CEO of Simon Associates Management Consultants, which was designed over a decade ago to help companies use the tools
In a world of individual retirement accounts, bonds, annuities and investment property, one retirement benefit often gets overlooked, or not discussed at all, by some financial advisers: Social Security. In retirement, you need to create as much fixed, guaranteed income as you can. Social Security is just as valuable as any of your other assets. Americans can draw their Social Security as early as 62 for reduced benefits, or as late as 70 for enhanced benefits. When benefits are elected, a retiree makes a permanent choice, meaning benefits are reduced over the course of a lifetime, not just until full retirement age. The Social Security break-even age is 77, or 15 years after the first retiree elected to receive benefits. Those who are contemplating when to take their Social Security benefits shouldn’t automatically take the largest check they are eligible for and assume they are making the right decision. None of us has crystal balls, but if you think there’s a good chance you might live longer than average, or if you’re just an optimist, you might want to think about going for the maximum monthly payment. Once it starts, it’s locked in for life. Consider some additional tips and strategies for getting the most out of your Social Security benefits. Don’t forget the widow’s benefit. If you are a widowed woman and don’t get remarried, you can file for Social Security at the age of 60. This consideration is known as the widow’s benefit. The rule applies to men as well. If your wife earned more than you, you are entitled to widower’s benefits. When a widow, widower or surviving exspouse waits until age 60 or later to remarry, they preserve the right to collect Social Security benefits
on their deceased spouse’s earnings record. Divorce can have fringe benefits. Women who were divorced after being married for at least 10 years are eligible for a portion of their ex-husband’s benefits if she is unmarried at the time they become eligible for benefits. That claim does not reduce the ex-husband’s benefits or those of his new spouse if he remarries. Marriage can be a strategic tool. When a spouse dies, the remaining spouse gets the larger of the two Social Security checks. If the surviving spouse gets remarried, they are then subject to that law with the new spouse. In other words, if a widow gets remarried and her second husband dies, she is eligible for the benefits of her second husband if he made more money than her. You get a do-over. If you decide to take your Social Security benefits and realize you made a mistake, the Social Security Administration will allow you to repay the money you took within 12 months and wipe the slate clean as if it never happened. Follow your own instincts when it comes to when and how to take your Social Security benefits. It is an important part of your overall retirement strategy.

Countywide jobless rate falls below 5 percent for the first time since 2007 RIVERSIDE – For the first time in more than a decade, the unemployment rate in Riverside County fell below 5 percent, state officials reported last week. The jobless rate in April, based on preliminary estimates that are subject to revision, was 4.9 percent, compared to 5.5 percent in March, according to the California Employment Development Department. Agency figures also showed that the April rate was nearly a percentage point below the year-ago level, when unemployment stood at 5.8 percent. Last month’s drop is the first time the jobless rate countywide came in under 5 percent since January 2006, when the rate was 4.8 percent, according to EDD data. The
decline was partly attributable to a month-to-month contraction in the overall size of the civilian labor force, which shrank from 1,063,300 to 1,053,100, as well as a surge in hiring in construction trades. According to the EDD, there were 51,100 Riverside County residents out of work last month, compared to 58,200 in March. The unincorporated community of Cabazon had the highest unemployment rate countywide at 12 percent, followed by the March Air Reserve Base census- designated community at 9.4 percent and Mecca at 9.3 percent. The combined unemployment rate for Riverside and San Bernardino counties in April was 4.7 percent, compared to 5.3 percent in March.
Bi-county data indicated payrolls expanded in several sectors with the strongest growth recorded in construction, which added 4,000 positions last month. Agriculture, educational services, retail trade and miscellaneous unclassified industries altogether added another 1,600 jobs. Payrolls declined in the financial services, professional business services, hospitality, manufacturing and public sectors, which shed a total 2,800 positions, according to data. The mining and information technology sectors were unchanged from March. The state’s non-seasonally adjusted jobless rate in April was 4.5 percent, according to the EDD.

Crystal Apple awards bestowed on 3 well-deserving teachers Brenda Tullis SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Students and teachers gathered at a local church Sunday, May 7, at an event directed by students to recognize and show appreciation for local teachers and to gift a sole teacher from each Temecula high school a student-honored teacher’s award. English teacher Gayle Trout of Chaparral High School, math teacher Steve Maxey of Great Oak High School and biology teacher Toby Brannon of Temecula Valley High School were awarded the Crystal Apple in appreciation for their work and influence in their students’ lives. The 13th annual Crystal Apple Awards ceremony was led by students from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from Temecula Valley, Chaparral and Great Oak high schools and honored more than 130 exemplary teachers. Over 200 students individually nominated a teacher to receive a Crystal Apple award, and ultimately one teacher from each high school was awarded with the esteemed Crystal Apple. City and school officials attending included Temecula City Council member James Stewart, Temecula Valley Unified School District Superintendent Tim Ritter, TVUSD school board President Sandy Hinkson, school board member Julie Farnbach, Temecula Valley Educators Association President Jeff Kingsberg, CHS Principal Nicole Dayus, GOHS Principal Aimee Ricken and TVHS Principal Allen Williams. Explaining why the Crystal Apple nomination process of awarding recipients was important, Master of Ceremony and Public Affairs director for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Suzette Jacobsen quoted Carnegie Mellon University Professor Randy Pausch in her opening remarks. “Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other,” she said. The other finalists for the Crystal Apple awards included CHS swim coach and history teacher Craig Winger and English teacher Barbara Mueller, GOHS econom-
ics teacher and football coach, Herschel Ramirez and Spanish teacher Crystal Parry as well as TVHS orchestra teacher Leanne Lugo and retiring ROTC leader, Lt. Col. Phil Byrd. Trout received her undergraduate at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in 1991 and later graduated from University of California Riverside. She has taught school for 25 years. Trout is teaches English to seniors at Chaparral in the Chaparral Senior Expository Reading and Writing course and Mt. San Jacinto College dual enrollment English 101 and 103 courses. “Mrs. Trout is one of the most caring people I know,” CHS senior Lauren Paulson, who nominated Trout for the award, said. “She truly has a special gift in connecting with each of her students.” Trout estimates that she has taught approximately 4,000 students over the past 25 years. Mother of three children, she is married to Rancho Vista High School teacher Noel Trout. “This is the best and most meaningful award I have ever received because it is student driven,” she said. “The students are the ones with whom I interact every day, and to have them say to me, `Mrs. Trout, we recognize that you care about us and our education; you’re a good role model, and we appreciate you.’ That’s gold. They are affirming that I am the kind of teacher I set out to become.” Trout said that she was born to teach. “It’s my gift, talent and passion,” she said. “When I was in ninth grade, I had an English teacher who was not only a great teacher, but he was also someone who genuinely loved teenagers. He treated them with such dignity and respect, and I wanted to be that same kind of person and teacher.” She thanked the parents at the event for raising amazing children. “They do live true to your values,” she said. “They’re kind and generous; they’re respectful and responsible; they’re trustworthy.” Trout said that she thoroughly loved to stand and teach children, speaking wisdom into their lives every single school day. “I know that the LDS community
sets a high standard for themselves and their children,” she said. “Being recognized as a person of integrity and good character by a community that upholds those same characteristics means a lot to me.” Junior Alexis Arnold introduced Great Oak math teacher Steve Maxey. “Mr. Maxey has been such a great influence on me and the people around me,” she said. “He always manages to have a positive attitude. His class is one of those classes that you’re actually not looking at the clock to see when it’s going to end.” Maxey graduated from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa, in 1999, later receiving his master’s degree at California State University San Marcos in 2012. He has been teaching for 15 years. He is married to Kelly Maxey who teaches Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math courses at Vail Ranch Middle School. He said she has been teaching 25 years to his 15 years, but that he took off five great years to raise his three children, Jack, Claire and Pete, who are now 12 years, 12 years and 10 years old, respectively. Beginning his teaching career in 1999, Maxey is in his fifth-year teaching in the Temecula Valley school district, and he estimates that he’s taught approximately 2,500 children since becoming a teacher. “I teach because I love it,” he said. “Every day I get to teach the subject I love— to children who care.” Maxey admits that he was taken aback and humbled when he learned that he would be the recipient of the Crystal Apple award. “The thing that affected me the most was that my students felt that highly of me,” he said. “They’re phenomenal students.” Later he spoke to the students directly and said, “You have made this job great.” Maxey thanked the administration at Great Oak for hiring him. “It’s so nice to belong to a school where you know the administration believes in you,” he said. “There are so many fantastic teachers at my school, and I owe so much to all of them for giving me the guidance and support to be where I am today.”

Student and nominator C. Robert Graff introduced biology teacher Toby Brannon from Temecula Valley High School. “This guy knows biology,” he said. “He’s a true stallion of biology. He can run on and on about biology and go so deep that my mind would just blow up.” Graff also said that Brannon’s class is a fun class. “He’s such a funny and awesome guy,” Graff said. “He connects with students either directly or indirectly. I feel he is one of the teachers on campus that I and others can go to for sound advice and counsel.” Graduating from University of California Irvine in 1995, Brannon began teaching in 1997 and has been teaching for 20 years now. He said he would not even venture to guess how many students he’s taught over the years. He finally decided upon a rounded-up number. “A lot,” he said. At the ceremony, he said that it was a tremendous honor to be there. “We [teachers] don’t get into this gig for public applause or pats on the back but this is nice,” he said. Speaking directly to the students in the back of the auditorium, he said, “When we get the envelopes with your comments, those are the things that sustain us. We need just a little bit of fuel to get through the next
New summer learning loss prevention program announced for Boys & Girls Club
Teachers See the
Possibilities
TEMECULA – The Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County is introducing summer Brain Gain, a summer learning loss prevention program developed by Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “We are excited to be able to offer summer Brain Gain to youth in Temecula, Murrieta and Lake Elsinore,” Grant Anderson, president and CEO of Boys & Girls Club of Southwest County, said. “Summer learning loss is one of the biggest drivers of the academic achievement gap. We’re here to close that gap for youth who may not have access to summer enrichment activities.” Summer Brain Gain is comprised of weeklong modules with fun, themed activities for elementary, middle and high school students that are aligned with common core standards. Supported by Disney, each module takes a project-based learning approach: youth engage in

a process of learning through discovery, creative expression, group work and a final project or production. As a result, children develop higher-order thinking skills through the summer Brain Gain modules while staying on track for the coming school year. The Boys & Girls Club is also partnering with the AXIS Foundation and United Way of the Inland Valleys to incorporate a Lexia reading program to specifically help youth who are not reading at grade level. The Lexia reading program, a Rosetta Stone Company, allows students to work independently and at their own pace to develop fundamental reading skills in a structured, sequential manner. Boys & Girls Club summer camps will be offered in Temecula, Murrieta and Lake Elsinore June 5-Aug. 4 for youth ages 6-17. Camps are open from 6:30 a.m. 6:30 p.m. and include lunch and a

year and those little tiny comments make a huge difference.” Brannon encouraged the children at the event to pursue the things that they found interesting in life, to go for it. “When you get to a point that you have to figure out what to do with it, teaching’s not a bad gig. Consider it,” he said. “You get to teach the topic you truly love and you get to make a very real impact on your community.” Temecula Valley Principal Allen Williams summed up the general feeling of thankfulness from all the teachers and administrators in the room. “We recognize our teachers at Temecula Valley High School in different ways,” TVHS principal Allen Williams said. “But it’s really nice when an outside organization looks at our school and looks at our teachers across the district and says, ‘We value you. We affirm what you’re doing. We have confidence in you.’” Williams said that he wanted to thank The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for doing exactly that for teachers in the Temecula community. “Thank you,” he said. “It’s so appreciated. It makes us feel like champions.”

covering from surgery or suffer from diseases that affect the body,” Kaminski said. “All Star Physical Therapy is a fast-growing group of physical therapy centers in the Riverside and San Diego counties. It helps active people who want to get moving and get back on the go again.” One of the benefits of physical therapy for patients at the Menifee clinic is that patients have longer appointments with their physical
All Star Physical Therapy in Menifee is at the top of its game; Director Melissa Kaminski and the facility’s staff have earned that distinction through their excellent care of patients and their expert knowledge of physical therapy techniques. “Physical therapy helps people who have had an injury, are re-
therapist than other medical professionals offer. “Because of how physical therapy works, there is a lower patient load than one might find, for example, at a doctor’s office,” Kaminski said. She earned a doctor of physical therapy from Loma Linda University and several years experience at other clinics, before becoming director of All Star Physical Therapy in Menifee. “I love having the ability to spend more time with each patient, it allows for the best possible patient care,” she said. Physical therapy is loosely defined as the treatment of disease, injury or deformity by physical methods such as massage, cold or heat treatment and therapeutic exercise, instead of treatment through drugs and surgery. Physical therapy mostly requires a handson approach by both therapist and patient. Treatment can include soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilization and the use of light to assist in rehabilitating patients toward normal movement. Services and treatments through physical therapy can be used to alleviate many conditions that affect the body, cardiovascular condition, work-related injuries,
sports-related injuries, neurological conditions, chronic pain, balance training and fall prevention, arthritis, car accident injuries and post-surgery treatment. In her leisure, Kaminski likes surfing and other outdoor activities with her husband and their two children. She has focused her career on treatment for diagnoses for spine and pelvic issues, chronic pain conditions, muscle power impairments, surgical rehabilitation and peripheral joint dysfunction, which is pain and stiffness in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hips, knees and ankles. Also on staff at All Star Physical Therapy in Menifee is physical therapist Sarah Grossi, who has a Bachelor of Science in kinesiology and a clinical doctorate in physical therapy. She treats pediatric patients as well as orthopedic, neurological and temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders, conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. All Star Physical Therapy in Menifee also has a third physical therapist on staff, Dilyana Aly. She too has a degree in physical therapy, and her clinical experience includes acute rehabilitation and outpatient physical therapy.
Founded in 2008, All Star Physical Therapy has 16 Southern California locations, including the Menifee site. It accepts Medicare, Tricare, Blue Cross and most private insurance, as well as providing rates for cash payments. The Menifee center’s proximity to Sun City, a longtime community of retired and senior residents, draws many patients who need physical therapy for post-surgery treatment for operations such as knee or hip replacements, Kaminski said. She added that balancebuilding therapy is also necessary for many geriatric patients who often are afflicted with unsteadiness and are at high risk for falling. Many falls result in broken bones. In addition to an active senior population, Menifee is a rapidlygrowing community of families, new schools and sports events, she said. The clinic fills a need to treat youths and children with injuries from athletics and other medical conditions. “All Star Physical Therapy in Menifee has and continues to offer physical therapy to patients of all ages,” Kaminski said, “from 99 year old to two months old.”
Fallbrook Regional Health District votes to sell hospital to Crestwood, a mental health provider first publicly announced in March 2016 that it was putting the hospital and its annex buildings up for sale, Executive Director Bobbi Palmer and board President Gordon Tinker both stressed that the hospital is “the community’s asset,” and thus the public will have to approve any sale. “If the district eventually finds a buyer that we can make a deal with, then it will have to go to the voters,” Tinker said in an article published in the April 7, 2016 issue of the Village News. “Basically, the health and safety code, which we operate under, says that any sale, lease or transfer of 50 percent or more of the assets require a citizen’s vote.” When asked via email May 15 why the board was able to approve the sale to Crestwood without the public’s approval, Palmer responded, “At a sales price of $4.5 million, the sale represents about 38 percent of the district’s total assets. Therefore, a vote is not required under Health & Safety Code 32121(p).” Before casting his vote for approval of the sale, board Director Stephen Abbot said, “I think this is the highest and best use of this asset. It’s good for Fallbrook; it’s good for the surrounding communities.” Crestwood is the leading provider of mental health services in California. It has 19 locations in the state, including rehabilitation centers in San Diego and Chula Vista. The

Less than one month after holding an initial town hall meeting to solicit feedback from residents on possible uses for the vacant Fallbrook Hospital building located at 624 East Elder St., the Fallbrook Regional Health District board voted unanimously to sell the facility to mental health provider Crestwood Behavioral Health for $4.5 million during its regular board meeting May 10. The first town hall meeting was held April 12 during a regular FRHD board meeting, attracting more than 100 residents. Ideas from the public included making the facility a hub for the operations wellness nonprofit groups, using it for mental health care services and utilizing the facility for wellness services for seniors, specifically cardiac rehabilitation. The district announced it would hold a second town hall meeting before its May 10 board meeting, and it was shortly after that town hall meeting – and a PowerPoint presentation by Patricia Blum, executive vice president of operations for Crestwood – that the board voted to sell the building to the Sacramento-based company. The sale is in escrow. When FRHD, previously known as the Fallbrook Healthcare District,
company was seeking a third location in San Diego County and heard about the vacant Fallbrook Hospital structure. “I visited the site for the first time in March, and I absolutely loved the layout and the community and kind of just the feel of the hospital,” Blum said. “So we brought in a team of engineering-type folks, and they thought the building was great. And then I brought a design team in with architects, and they thought the building was great, and our financial folks thought it was good. “So we made a decision pretty quickly,” continued Blum. “We had been anxious to find something, and so there was a very big willingness. It was pretty quick and we’re excited.” Blum said the 100-bed facility will be called Fallbrook Healing Center and would serve people from the counties of San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles. “We’ll be providing services to adults,” said Blum. “Behavior health services, so it’s mental health support and also physical health support – wellness programs.
We have heart-healthy diets, so food-wise we try to do as much as possible garden-to-table and farmto-table menus using local foods. We did a study with UC Davis in regards to heart-healthy diets.” Blum said Fallbrook Healing Center will help those battling bipolar disorder, depression and other adjustment disorders. When asked if the facility would also serve as a rehabilitation facility for those struggling with drugs and alcohol, Blum said, “No. There’s no drugs and alcohol rehabilitation.” The folks who we serve are people who generally, sometimes they can hold down a job, but they live most of their lives with a lot of support and assistance,” Blum said. “So we try to give them as many skills as possible to return back to their communities.” Blum said the Fallbrook Healing Center will be a secured facility. “People are under very good supervision from 24-hour staffing with a full medical staff and a nursing staff and clinical staff as well,” Blum said. Once escrow closes, Blum said Crestwood would like to get right

to work in remodeling the hospital. The company has committed at least $2 million for the construction project. “I think that’s conservative, but we don’t have any numbers yet,” Blum said. “I hope we could start (construction) as early as July.” The facility is expected to bring 108 full-time permanent positions and 10 part-time positions in addition to the immediate construction jobs. Blum said Crestwood doesn’t have an interest in purchasing the annex buildings. “It (the hospital) is a big campus,” Blum said. “It’s a lot for us, and we’re very excited. We’re happy with what we have if we get it.” If the deal is completed, Palmer said the money from the sale would be reinvested in the community. “The board of directors are looking at the specific and best use of the roughly $4.5 million,” Palmer said in an email. “Reinvestment in the district area residents is of the highest priority given the health disparities represented in De Luz, Bonsall, Fallbrook and Rainbow.”

Vail Headquarters’ Starlight Bazaar shines light on local talent

The first Starlight Bazaa was held at the Vail Headquarters on Temecula Parkway the evening of May 26. The event, which is to be held on the last Friday of every month, featured live music, a night market, food, beer, live paintings and a car show. “You know, all the best things in life,” said Gina Canella, event coordinator for Vail Headquarters. She said she reached out to Work In Progress Creative Collective in putting the event’s art and music together, as well as In The Loop – the company behind the Old Town Night Market – for planning the new monthly market. Canella also said she partnered with Us Versus Them for the car show. Carly Tucker organized the art aspect of the bazaar for Work in Progress. “Through Work in Progress Creative, we have a whole network of artists and creative people in the valley, and so these are all just our people,” Tucker said. “And we compile lists of artists that are always kind of growing and changing.” Tucker set up what she described as an “interactive piece of art” for the bazaar. “What we did is we outlined our logo (for) Starlight Bazaar,”
she said. “We’re just having people in the community come and help us fill it in. And then in the next shows—because we’re going to do it once a month— we’re going to hang the banner on the water tower out there.” Ryan King, who coordinated the event’s music for Work in Progress, said a number of local acts played at the bazaar, including Nathan and Jessie, Joe Gillespie and Dario Marcelo. “They’re not any specific genre really,” Canella said. “They’re just whoever is local. And we’ll kind of have a feel for a certain night, you know. Like this one is kind of mellow acoustic. Maybe we’ll have one that’s more of a country western feel.” The event also featured stagecoach rides from Mark Matson of the Temecula Carriage Company, who, along with Gonzo the horse, was giving stagecoach rides to attendees for $3 per person. Matson said his wife, who he runs the carriage company with, had long wanted their company to give rides at the Vail Headquarters before being contacted to participate in the bazaar. “Ever since she saw the original plan,” Matson said. “It’s kind of been a dream of hers, and then, as coincidence would have it, they reached out to us and asked us to come in, and they’ve done a great job with coordinating all these big events.” Canella said her vision was to create an event at Vail that was

geared toward an older audience. “Everything I do here is family-friendly, but I wanted to do something that was, you know, getting the adult crowd out here,” Canella said. “Something that I personally would be interested in going to.” Though May 26 was the very first Starlight Bazaar, Canella already has plans for the next ones. For the June bazaar, three businesses in Vail Headquarters— Nectar Clothing, Augies Coffee Roasters and Á La Minute ice cream—will holding their grand opening events. “They’re going to put their twist on it,” Canella said. “Nectar’s going to do a fashion show. Augies has worked with several local breweries, and we’re going to have those breweries come out and do a beer garden.” Canella said every future Starlight Bazaar will change up. “Every month will be something different, but the same feel overall,” she said. Vendors, art and music will always be a part of it. Other aspects, such as the car show or street performers, will happen on occasion, Canella said. “We’ll be showcasing different things,” she said. “But mostly, it’s just about art and music and having, like, a fun, safe event that happens in the night where people can bring their families and everybody can walk around.”
Horse Drawn carriage rides gave a fairytale feel to the Starlight Bazaar held at Vail Headquarters in Temecula.

Pechanga Microbrew Festival and Chili Cook-Off to be biggest, best yet
Paul Bandong PBANDONG@REEDERMEDIA.COM
The ninth annual Pechanga Microbrew Festival and Chili CookOff promises to be the biggest and best yet. This year’s event will be held Saturday, June 10, from 1 to 5 p.m. inside the Grand Ballroom at the Pechanga Casino & Resort. The event – which features unlimited beer samples and food tastings for one entry price, live music and a silent auction – is a fundraising benefit for Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley programs (homebuilding, workshops, neighborhood revitalization, veterans home improvement).
Over 1,400 people attended last year’s event which featured craft and small production brews from five local counties, northern California, the Midwest and the East Coast. This year, 25 craftsmen will be on hand to provide their brews for pairing with the various gourmet chili offerings. Temecula breweries include Wiens Brewing, Refuge Brewing, and the largest in the valley, Black Market Brewing. Murrieta will be represented by Backyard Bottleshop and cask-conditioned ales from Inland Wharf Brewing Company. Menifee’s only craft brewer, The Mason Jar Brewing Company, will also be there. San Diego County will be well represented by Ballast Point, Belching Beaver, Saint Archer, Green Flash Brewing, Indian Joe Brewing, Breakwater Brewing, The Lost Abbey and the Bierbitzch Brewing Company. Golden Road from Los Angeles and Angel City Brewery from the Arts District will also be pouring their favorites. Northern California will be represented by Track 7 from Sacramento, Sierra Nevada from Chico and Lagunitas Brewing from Petaluma. Four Peaks Brewing from Tempe, Arizona, Goose Island from Chicago, Elysian Brewing from Seattle and Shock Top from St. Louis will also provide their popular brews. The second largest brewer in the U.S., founded in 1984 and known for its Samuel Adams beer, The
Boston Beer Company will also be there. From the Big Island in Hawaii, Kona Brewing Company will be bringing its signature Fire Rock Pale Ale. As always, the award for Best Chili is a People’s Choice selection and the competition is quite “heated” as 11 of Pechanga’s top chefs battle it out for this year’s title. Last year, there were eight competitors. Chef Marlene Moore, originally from Trinidad & Tobago, oversees the Temptations Food Court at Pechanga, and has won the People’s Choice Award two years straight with her “Temptation” Hearty Southern Style Chili. “I am not worried about what the competition is doing,” said the vivacious high-energy Moore, “They need to be worried about me!” Unlike many of her challengers, Moore starts with a regular ground beef. “The key is the order,” said Moore, “the meat gets the flavor first.” She then adds garlic and sautéed onions. This year, by popular demand, she is also preparing a vegetarian chili she calls “the Temptations,” utilizing fried tofu cubes; black, red and lima beans; cayenne, cumin and jalapeño peppers. Executive Chef Duane Owen recommends pairing this chili with a traditional Pilsner. Chef Martin Villegas, Great Oak Steakhouse, starts with hand-cut ends of USDA prime ribeye and New York steaks, seared, then cooked in a sauce with dried Anaheim chilis, Thai chilis, pasillas,

Recommended pairing: Craft-style Pilsner or pale ale with a hint of citrus. Chef Hunter Gonzales from Catering & Banquets is preparing a Texas-style Chili con Carne with nine different chili peppers.

Recommended pairing: rice lager such as Sapporo.
Sous Chef Steven Agosto, Kelsey’s Restaurant, is serving a smoked brisket chili with aged sharp cheddar on a pretzel slider bun. The tender brisket is smoked for 16 hours. His secret ingredient is Red Trolley draft lager. Recommended pairing is a malty red ale. Pechanga Buffet will be serving an all-buffalo chili, stuffed biscuits with jalapeño and smoked cheddar. Recommended pairing is a German style bock. Pechanga Café hopes to impress with its Coachella-style ground buffalo chili with Italian sausage and bacon, with red (chile de arbol: que calor) and yellow (“habañero is my compañero”) salsa. Recommended pairing is a Mexican lager, like Tecate. Chef Bruno Amato from Paisano’s will be competing with his Brazilian chili with beans and fried yucca. Recommended pairing: craft-style lager. Chef Kok Che (Chef Tim) will be serving a spicy turkey chili with wonton chips. Recommended pairing: rice lager or Asian lager. “This competition is certainly about creative talent and taste,” said Owen, “but it is also about presentation and marketing, being able to relate to the people tasting and judging your food. This is our largest competition yet.” “We’re going to give them a show,” said Agosto. This festival is an opportunity to experience over 100 offerings from

Rosie’s Kitchen I went on a journey to find the perfect pambazo Rosie O’Connor SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
So, I went on a pambazo craze. A what? Pambazo craze. They are wonderfully dipped tortas, but don’t call them that in Mexico or you will be corrected. I like to call them a Mexican French dip. They are named after the stale, doughy bread, pambazo, that is especially made for dipping. It holds together a lot better than a French bread though. The bread is dipped in a Guajillo chili sauce, grilled on both sides and stuffed with beans, chorizo, potato, lettuce, queso fresco and crema. They are not attractive at all but they are so delicious. Chef Abraham Mendoza was the first one to describe them to me years ago. Immediately I went into my kitchen and made one for him. By the impression on his face and the tears in his eyes, I had done a good job. He practically had a “Ratatouille” moment of nostalgia! However, it has bothered me for years; I keep thinking, “Am I representing something so delicious and addicting properly?” Just because I made a grown man cry does not mean that it’s perfect. As a chef, we have a great responsibility to represent our food and its origins correctly. It has been the foundation for my existence as a regional Mexican chef to educate and highlight our Mexican

gastronomy in the Inland Empire. I was compelled to fly to Mexico City and try one for myself. Mexico City is fast-paced, energetic and very vibrant city. It reminded me a lot of New York. Some places are nice, and others you must make sure that you lock your car door in case of an attempt of hijacking or kidnapping. Whatever you do don’t watch the movie “Man on Fire” with Denzel Washington, or you will never visit this city. As we landed and made our way through the airport, I couldn’t get away from the smell of sewer. I have visited many parts of Mexico, and quite frankly the

We hired a driver that would serve as a body guard at night, chauffer during the day and a tourist guide in between. We felt safe with him, and he gave us the 411 on how to dress, behave and what to expect. “Take us to get a pambazo! Make sure it’s the real thing too,” I demanded; I explained that my
purses across our body. “Please stay close to me,” he instructed. The mercado is an open market where the people sell clothes, kitchenware, pinatas, food, candy, medicine and black magic herbs to cast spells. I was a kid in a candy store! I wanted to stop in every station, ask questions and meet the vendors. I didn’t see any danger at all. I was ready to retire, make this place my home and start selling
chiclets! Immediately I was stunned by the aroma of the masa cooking on the grill, chilies roasting on the fire and the sounds of Ana Gabriel in the back ground. I turned around, and there was my pambazo served on a square styro foam plate. The bread was a rustic, brick color with a dark burnt grill mark, and my fingers burned fiercely as I touched it. I could smell the chorizo and the smokiness of the guajillo chili as

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I took a bite and felt my heart race rapidly, and a rush came over me. It was an incredible blend of flavors, sweet, spicy and savory. It was greasy and rich, and I could taste the fried potato as I bit into it. I sat there staring at my beloved, and I felt extremely satisfied and content in knowing that I have done my customers justice.

Falkner Winery Pinnacle Restaurant VIP dining room offers beautiful panoramic views of the winery and its surroundings.

With summer fast approaching and sunny days becoming more present, Falkner Winery is the place to be. Falkner Winery can be found near the crest of a 1,500-foot hill in the community of Temecula. Its location allows visitors to enjoy a breathtaking view of the valley below. Falkner Winery was established in July 1, 2000, and has become incredibly popular and successful over the course of 17 years. The winery offers award-winning wines, delicious Mediterranean cuisine, beautiful wedding venues and exclusive wine tours. At Falkner Winery, expect to drink high-quality, award-winning wines that can be found in restaurants in California and Arizona. The winery “prides itself on producing top quality, award winning Temecula wine.” Falkner Winery specializes in producing blended wines, and their consistent style is notable in their red wines, which they age for a period of three years before making them available to the public. Winemaker Duncan Williams has a “food-friendly, soft” style that makes Falkner Winery’s wines unique and easy to drink. Not only are they enjoyable, but they are also made to compliment food well for an overall delicious experience. Falkner Winery hand-crafts their wines, which gives them an extraordinary taste. Throughout the years, the winery has received a number of awards from wine competitions including the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the California State Fair Competition. They have also received a “90” rating for their chardonnay from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. Along with their award-winning wines, Falkner Winery also has an award-winning restaurant in the heart of Temecula wine country, the Pinnacle. The Pinnacle was completed in September 2006 and took four years to plan and construct. The restaurant offers Mediterranean-style food and is dedicated to producing healthy food made by new executive chef Jason Barradas. Barradas was trained at the California Culinary Academy “Le Cordon Blue” in San Francisco and was the former sous chef at the Pinnacle. One notable thing at the Pinnacle is the new menu for spring and summer. According to the Falkner Winery, “Eating great healthy food and having a wonderful time mark the theme of the new spring/summer menu at the Pinnacle Restaurant at Falkner Winery.” This change came about in April when the Pinnacle added more items to the menu which is “consistent with the Mediterranean diet” and

The winery is the perfect place to celebrate a wedding with its variety in landscape and different ceremony sites. Couples can choose between exchanging vows in an outdoor shaded garden surrounded by “beautiful views of the vineyards, scenic mountains and gorgeous sunsets” or have a vineyard ceremony surrounded by “white roses, cypress trees and jasmine archways.” Either way, both options result in beautiful and memorable wedding at the Falkner Winery.

Yoga 4 Hope raises funds for cancer research Paisley Trent VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
At the sixth annual Yoga 4 Hope June 4, one can look forward to a morning of gentle yoga at scenic Galway Downs in Temecula that also raises funds for the City of Hope for cancer resources and research. The donation is $35, which covers the event from 7-10 a.m., as well as a free tank top and mimosa. The event has been continuously hosted by Michelle Trabelsi, who runs the Bootie Camp Yoga and regular Yoga in the Vines sessions. Her tagline of “when you embrace challenge, you embrace change ...create possibilities” is reflected in this fundraiser for the Yoga 4 Hope in San Diego. She’s also ecstatic to see so much growth in the event, which “started off as 12 people, and last year 120 attended - we’ve been outgrowing venues as we go.” Trabelsi hosts it, while bringing in
LAKELAND VILLAGE – As the new operator for the Lakeland Village community center, Studio 395 Foundation, a local nonprofit art cooperative, is planning a grand opening and open house event at Village on Grand at noon, June 10. The event will showcase current classes available at the facility and promote the upcoming visual and performing arts summer camp to be held the week of July 24. For the grand opening event, Studio 395 will open the doors to everyone for a free day of activities, including a car show with the local Drifters Car Club, real roller skating car hops hosted by the Wine Town Rollers and food available for sale from cart vendors. The event will finish up with a movie indoors for the community in the evening so bring camp chairs and blankets to throw down for the children. The activities of the day will include snippets of classes already taking place at the facility, in ad-
various well-known community yoga instructors as well as ones from San Diego and Corona to assist. The City of Hope offers free resources, family support and education for those affected by cancer. Trabelsi describes it as an important cause because “everyone’s been touched by cancer, and this is an emotional event that allows various people to come together.” This year will also feature two guest yogis - Letisha Svetinko and Paola Cardona - that are also cancer survivors, speaking regarding their experiences. Head out to Galway Downs June 4 for a morning of yoga, live music, smoothies, mimosas and food donated by local restaurants, in addition to supporting the City 4 Hope, registration begins at 6:30 a.m. the day of or can be done online at http://temeculayogainthevines. com/.
Menifee Kids Art Camp provides kids opportunity to explore their creativity MENIFEE – The summer session of the Menifee Kids Art Camp is scheduled for the week of June 12 through June 16, at the Santa Rosa Academy’s La Plaza. The weeklong workshop will provide the opportunity for children – grades kindergarten through fifth - to explore their creativity in various art mediums in a fun and noncompetitive atmosphere. The summer camp’s setting will be on the beautiful campus of Santa Rosa Academy. One of the Santa Rosa Academy’s art instructors, Ines Miller, is the director of the
dition to those that will be available at the weeklong visual and performing arts camp for children 8 to 12 years old. The day camp will focus on offering sessions in visual and performing arts but also adding an element of interesting exercise programs. The new resident theater group, the Ivy Players, will start with a variety of acting and improvisational classes. The next hour is a variety of exercise classes designed for youth such as Zumba and tae kwando introduction classes. After a break for lunch, a variety of art classes will be introduced, including ceramics, drawing, mixed media and chalk art. The center is attempting to make the weeklong day camp affordable at around $100 and also offering an additional session of child care so working parents will be able to pick up children later than the 3 p.m. end time for the camp. All classes are taught by professionals with real world experience.
“We are very excited to be organizing this camp. We really want to provide a broad scope of activities because we know that children don’t find what they are passionate about until they get to experience things firsthand,” Grace Sandlin, founding member of Studio 395, said. “We also want to kick off the summer with a preview of what we can offer the community via the grand opening. We hope everyone comes out for a full day of fun in their own community.” Studio 395 is a nonprofit artist cooperative with a mission of taking art into the community by engaging the underserved resident of the area and finding opportunities for local artists to create, display, sell and instruct. For more information on events, current classes or being included in the camp interest list, call (951) 471-4407. The center is open weekdays 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Dorland Mountain Arts Colony friends, associate artists and board of directors are opening the colony to the public Sunday, June 11, for their annual summer picnic from 4 to 7 p.m. The arts colony, located at 36701 Highway 79 South outside Temecula’s wine country, is a residency program for local, national and international artists, writers, musicians and composers. The artists, through the years – more than 1,500 – found Dorland Mountain Arts Colony as a quiet place to work on their favorite creations and revive their spirits while enjoying the center’s California Coastal oaks, natural ponds and trails alive with wildlife and colorful flora and fauna. It retains the legacy of Ellen Babcock Dorland, a world-renowned concert pianist and gifted music teacher, who loved nature and wanted to create a place for other rising artists to relax and enjoy the picturesque mountain scenery. The Dorland annual summer picnic give visitors, whether artist or art lover, an opportunity to meet some of the artists currently residing at the colony, see their works, hear their music and just enjoy the
Menifee Kids Art Camp. Miller, a member of both the Canyon Lake Art Association and the Temecula Valley Art League, combines her love of children with her skills as an artist.

company. Plein air and watercolor artists, musicians, photography, writers and those specializing in the decorative arts will display some of their creations. Arts and crafts will be available for sale, and a silent auction and musical presentation will be featured under the oaks. Dorland will provide hot dogs and brats. Wine, beer, soft drinks and water will be available for a small donation. Since it is a family picnic, those attending, are encouraged to being a potluck side or dessert, a chair, personal artwork, writing or music to share. The Dorland Mountain Arts Colony Board and resident artists will be on hand to give tours of the new cottages and community building. It has been 11 years since the area’s devastating Eagle Mountain Fire destroyed much of the colonies facilities but the colony has since has come back to its former state with newer facilities, while retaining the historic oak-covered grounds and ponds. Over property’s history, six individual cottages, two art studies, an adobe community building and a kitchen house was created by the Dorlands as a private retreat for artist friends. In 1979, the property was turned over to the Nature Conservancy to become
incorporated as a nonprofit organization serving the local, national and international arts community and bring cultural recognition to the city of Temecula. Then the Eagle Mountain Fire roared through the Temecula foothills May 3, 2004, destroying most of the colony. It has taken the past 11 years and the help of former residents and generous individual supporters to rebuild most of the colony with more sustainable building and construction, including new cabins and the newly built community room. Arborists and volunteers have cleaned out much of fire debris, and the surviving oaks and surrounding vegetation are now thriving again with the help of the recent rains. The board continues to work with the county of Riverside to construct Americans with Disabilities Act compliant ramps, a deck and several handicap-accessible parking places. A paved road now leads to the colony entrance providing easy access and departure. Donations are tax deductible. To RSVP for the picnic and for questions, contact the Dorland Mountain Arts Colony at (951) 302-3837 or events@dorlandartscolony.com.

Enlarged Lake Hemet Splashing Eagle Water Park opens for summer season Tony Ault TAULT@REEDER MEDIA.COM
The summer vacation and recreation season began at Lake Hemet Memorial Day weekend with an estimated 2,000 campers occupying more than 300 improved campsites including 10 new six-person cabins. The campers also enjoyed the official opening of the expanded Splashing Eagle Water Park. “We are completely booked for the weekend,” said Jeffery Richter, Lake Hemet maintenance supervisor and safety officer as he made his rounds on the campgrounds, marina and the Splashing Eagle Waterpark. The California Parks Company, with its headquarters in Red Bluff, California, manages Lake Hemet Municipal Water District’s Lake Hemet Campground. The Lake is located on the Palms to Pines Highway 371 near Mountain Center. In the last three years California Parks management has brought in, with the District’s approval, the Splashing Eagle Water Park that is steadily becoming more popular with campers. Last year the Water Park had 10 large plastic air-filled water toys. This year the Water Park was enlarged and 10 more large water toys added. Swimmers can climb, teeter totter, jump on a giant trampoline, or slide down a mountainous slide on a huge water-play structure in the center of the 470-acre swim park cove. A tiny tots’ area was also established in the Water Park’s expanded area. Campers can also rent kayaks from the Water Park and this year a Cali Parks Grill food truck is open serving hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries and a variety of soft drinks for reasonable prices. Entrance to the Splashing Eagle Water Park is $15 a day for adults and $10 a day for children in the tiny tots area. The water park has four to five trained lifeguards on duty during operating hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily during the summer, said Sylvia Atondo, Park general manager. The Water Park requires all swimmers, children
Lake Hemet Recreation Park added 10 6-person rustic rental cabins this year. Jeffrey Richter, California Parks Lake Hemet maintenance supervisor and safety officer checks out this cabin to make sure it is ready for guests.
Swimmers enjoy playing on the large inflatable water toys at Lake Hemet’s Splashing Eagle Water Park now open to the public at the mountain lake recreation area off Highway 371 near Mountain Center.
Kayaks, pontoon boats and motorboats are available for rent on Lake Hemet from the Splashing Eagle Water Park concession now open for the season. The lake owned by the Lake Hemet Municipal Water District has a campground and boat rentals but it remains a non-body contact water body except in the 470 acre Splashing Eagle Water Park. State Fishing Licenses are required for lake fishing.

and adults, to wear life vests that are furnished on admission. The Water Park fees are in addition to the regular camping fees. Tonnie Macias and her 2-yearold charge Frank Murrillo had just been fitted with life vests and were going to enjoy the tot pool. “We like it here. We always come up in a group. It’s really good and so clean.” The cabins rent for $175 a night,
but costs may be shared. Joe and Corrine Gomez, regular yearly campers at Lake Hemet decided to try out one of the cabins during the holiday. Relaxing outside the cabin Joe said the cabins, “are really nicely done and have all your needs. Corrine said, “We love relaxing here and are expecting my sister and her husband to join us here.” The Lake also invites guests to use it “Rent My Tent” program. For
$12 a day guest can stay and use the rental tent until sundown with late checkout. The Marina has a selection on Deluxe and Standard pontoon boats, 12-foot outboard motor boats for rent. On arrival guests can call the marina kiosk to find out boat prices and availability or go the marina and talk to the staff. Fisherman at the lake are finding the water level, thanks to the heavy rains this year, have improved the fishing and the lake is stocking fish
more often. “The water is about a foot or two below the spillways at the dam now,” Richter noted. Lake Hemet has many other opportunities for fun and enjoyment all year including long term affordable living and season passes for the lake and the swim park. For more information about the lake call the Hemet Lake kiosk at (951) 205-1479 or see the Lake Hemet website for up-to-date information www.lakehemetrecreation.com.

Families are welcome to attend the grand opening celebration of Cottage Lane by Frontier Communities June 3 in Lake Elsinore and see the many styles of new homes being built in this neighborhood. Courtesy photo
LAKE ELSINORE – Hometown builder, Frontier Communities, welcomes homebuyers to the grand opening of Cottage Lane Saturday, June 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with fun, food and festivities for the whole family. Buyers looking for affordable homes crafted for the way they like to live will love unexpected features like downstairs
bedrooms and bathrooms for multigenerational families and large lofts perfect for play or media centers. The two-story homes offer 1,893 to 2,466 square feet of living space with up to 5 bedrooms, up to 3 baths and side-by-side, 2-car garages. Pricing at Cottage Lane begins in the low $300,000s. Homes are now for sale at the community’s
sales office at 15371 Tiller Lane, in Lake Elsinore. “With every new community we build, we strive to offer homebuyers the best choices for their families,” Mark Hicks, vice president of sales and marketing for Frontier Communities, said. “We design our kitchens to be the heart of the home and our neighborhoods with a vari-
ety of architectural styles, such as Spanish, craftsman or cottage—to give a brand new community like Cottage Lane a charming sense of place that will get even better over time.” Cottage Lane offers much more home for the money, so homebuyers are encouraged to join the interest list at www.FrontierHomes. com for updates and the latest news. The three distinctive home designs feature large family rooms or great rooms, kitchens with casual dining bars, large pantries and plenty of storage. Some plans offer bedroom options that allow buyers to increase up to five bedrooms. Select designs feature a downstairs bedroom and bath to assure that multi-generation families can enjoy life together. Master suites offer large bedroom areas and baths with tub and separate shower, plus large walk-in closets. Close to the neighborhood, public schools include Withrow Elementary School, Terra Cotta Middle School and Lakeside High School, all part of the Lake Elsinore Unified School District. Also close by are new shopping, dining and entertainment centers. The Lake Elsinore Diamond, Class A baseball field, offers a season of exciting home games, and the rain-replenished lake is a great destination for boating, fishing and lake sports. The Lake Elsinore Outlet Mall is nearby, a great destination for all
kinds of shopping. Accessibility to major employment areas is made easy by proximity to the Interstate 15 corridor, linking drivers to toll roads toward Orange County and Los Angeles, plus direct access to Ontario, Corona and Riverside. To learn more about Cottage Lane and view the floor plans online, visit www.FrontierHomes. com. Be sure to register to receive first notice of upcoming events; Contact a sales associate at (951) 392-5558. Neighborhoods by Frontier Communities span over 10 cities throughout the Inland Empire, including Chino, Ontario, Jurupa Valley, North Fontana, Montclair, Menifee, Rosamond, Moreno Valley, San Jacinto and Riverside. A local neighborhood builder with deep roots in the Inland Empire, the company has continually helped it achieve some of its many goals and high aspirations working for a rich quality of life. Their course is set so that people may realize the American Dream of home ownership with a fresh vision of a proud future, translating vision into attainable neighborhoods. People of all ages and life stages have entrusted Frontier Communities to fulfill the promise they have made to themselves - ownership of a beautiful new home in vibrant surroundings, and one they are proud to call home.
MCA Realty acquires Temecula land for industrial development TEMECULA – MCA Realty, a full service real estate investment and management company, has acquired an 8-acre land parcel in Temecula. The firm plans to develop a 140,000 square-foot industrial building on the site, the first industrial development built in Temecula in over eight years, according to MCA Realty Principal, Tyler Mattox. “There is no other competitive product currently being developed in the region,” explains Mattox. “This is the last developable land parcel in Temecula with the ability to accommodate a building with more than 100,000 square feet, of space providing a strong opportunity and competitive advantage for MCA.” MCA Realty plans to break ground on the new industrial development, which it will brand as MCA Business Center, this month. “We were extremely involved in the entitlement process for this site, and we obtained the final land entitlements before acquisition,” explains Mattox. “This was a
time-consuming process in today’s highly contested development environment and speaks to the strength of our design and construction team. This also allows us to immediately break ground on the property, reducing the entitlement risk to our investors.” MCA Business Center will be constructed to feature the latest in industrial design including 32-foot clear heights, 120-foot truck courts, ESFR sprinklers and 15 dock-high loading doors, among others. It will also be constructed with the flexibility to accommodate a single tenant or multiple tenants, depending on market demand, according to Mattox. “By creating a product that can accommodate a variety of tenants we hope to capitalize on growing occupant demand throughout the region,” says Mattox who notes that demand for industrial product throughout the Temecula Valley continues to outpace supply. “Industrial users are migrating north to Temecula as a result of rising prices and limited supply in
North San Diego,” he says. “This is a trend that we anticipate in the near term.” Mattox adds, “The lack of available supply throughout the area is also placing upward pressure on rental rates, which are up 28 percent from 12 months ago. This strong rental growth should provide an opportunity to maximize yields over time.” The project will be strategically located in close proximity to the I-15 Freeway within the Westside Business Center. It is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Roger Carlson of CBRE and Scott Stewart of Lee & Associates represented MCA in the acquisition of the land, have been retained to lead the leasing efforts for the new development. In addition to this new development, MCA Realty recently sold a 91,326 square-foot industrial building in Temecula for $9 million at 43350 Business Park Drive. The firm initially acquired the property for $6.29 million in 2015. Anthony De Lorenzo, Gary

Stache, Doug Mack, Matt Pourcho of CBRE and Scott Stewart of Lee & Associates represented MCA Realty as the seller in this transaction.

gies that maximize returns to its investors.

FAITH You worship God by surrendering Zac Elliott SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

receiving; it’s about giving, giving your life to God. We miss the boat when we enter worship with a “what’s in it for me” mentality. It’s really about surrendering to God, his plan and purpose. Jesus said in Luke 9:23, “If people want to follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing to give up their lives daily to follow me.” Here is what true worship looks like: if you’re in business, do business that honors God. If you’re a parent, be a parent that honors God. If you’re an employee, be an employee that honors God. It means we stop living life for ourselves and start living for God. When we choose to live this way, we begin to discover who we really are. Our true selves are found in worship. It’s what we were created to do. If you want to get the most out of life, you’re going to have to surrender to God. This life through surrender is truly the way to worship him. It’s in surrendering that we find fulfillment and true happiness. Live on purpose. Zac Elliott is the pastor of Fusion Christian Church in Temecula.

Warm weather to bring out more bugs; Get ready for ‘buggy’ spring Gig Conaughton, county of San Diego communications office SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
You might be thinking that after weeks of unseasonably, unexpected, wintry cold weather around San Diego County we’ve seen the last of this spring’s increased numbers of insects. Maybe. But it’s more likely that the cold is just a speed-bump for our “buggy” spring and that we’ll continue to see lots of bugs when normal spring temperatures return in the coming days. That’s because bugs are still chowing down on green growth produced by the county’s rainiest winter in years, county of San Diego officials said this week. “All this (cold) may do is delay things a little bit,” Chris Conlan, the county of San Diego’s supervising vector ecologist and bugwatcher by trade, said. “The other thing to remember is that we also got some rain with the cold snap, and that may actually recharge some of the plants out there and make them last a little longer.” Conlan said the food chain equation is simple. Lots of rain produced lots of plants that bugs use for food. And lots of food has generated lots of bugs. In March, local media and residents were abuzz over seeing large

numbers of crane flies – large, spindly, crazy-flying insects that look like supersized mosquitoes, but are not and are actually harmless. In April, hummingbird moths made the news. They are also known as Sphinx moths or hawk moths, which fly like hummingbirds and are nearly as large. So what insects may surprise us all next? Conlan said it’s hard to say. It is something that could change from location to location depending upon where people live around the county. Mother Nature, he said, is always unpredictable. Conlan said the spring population booms of crane flies and hummingbird moths are probably in the rear-view mirror, but that there are
still lots of different kinds of bugs feasting on lots of plants. County entomologist Tracy Ellis with the county’s Department of Agriculture, Weights and Measures said homeowners and garden owners may start seeing more – or at least, evidence of more – garden snails and slugs. Ellis said they tend to hide during the day and munch on garden plants at night. “They grow on weeds and then move into yards and leave mysterious holes in leaves and on homeowner’s plants,” Ellis said. A bee squeezes into an agapanthus flower to collect nectar. Conlan said it is possible that county residents could start noticing increased numbers of tiny – and
harmless – crawling bugs that feast on native weeds as temperatures rise and those food sources dry up. Bugs like false cinch bugs, bagrada bugs and red bugs – scantius aegyptius – which alarmed people and made the news when they were found around the county for the first time in 2014, will crawl into people’s yards if their regular food sources die. “You’ll get situations,” Conlan said, “where they build up into very large numbers on those plants, and when that food source is no longer viable, they migrate into neighborhoods and freak people out. “People have sent me pictures of them,” he said, “literally hundreds and hundreds of them, all over the
front of the house or just coating the top of their pools.” Conlan said the best way to prevent that is to mow down weeds before they get large and dry out. But he also said people should remember not to freak out. Most bugs in the county – with the exception of vector bugs like mosquitoes that can transmit disease – are harmless to people. And, he said, as spring wears off and food plants dry up, nature takes over. “If there’s nothing for them to really feed on,” Conlan said, “they just kind of eventually die off and go away.”
Predicting ‘when to do what’ in gardens is tricky
Courtesy photo
Frank Brines, master consulting rosarian SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Hello Valley gardeners! I find it difficult to project what is best to do for your gardens lately. My observation is that each year weather conditions and timing are not typical as we have known in the past. Many exhibitors in rose shows tell me that their formerly “tried and true” methods of predicting when to do what aren’t working so well for them these days. For example, attempting to schedule rose shows by past weather patterns a year ahead is more luck than science. Yet the San Diego Rose Society certainly lucked out this year as they had a large show. The abundant rain this past winter had great impact on the volume and quality of blooms. Perhaps the excess rainfall in the Temecula Valley has had the same effect on your roses – let me know. I will give some things that you can do to get that next cycle of good blooms before it gets too hot. A minor pruning to remove old blooms will reset the cycle of blooming. Most likely not all blooms are at the same development, so just prune them back as blooms fade. Don’t leave them in your garden or put them in you compost pile; make sure to put them into your green waste barrel. Continue shaping the bush for best production by pruning the cane to an outward facing bud. Each leaf axis has a bud. Knowing this makes it easy to discern an outward facing bud. Attempt to keep canes that are no smaller than the diameter of a wooden pencil. Continue fertilizing. Hopefully, you are ready for the fourth application – organic, I trust. As I always say, organics are much better for your soil, your garden and the environment. The soil microbiology is multitiered, teeming with beneficial microbes which create a sustainable soil “immune system.” We’ve just learned that a higher percentage of potassium helps the plant to develop stronger roots and not suffer stress during adverse conditions. In fact, plants grown with organic fertilizers are themselves more resistant to pests and diseases. Organic amendments such as manure, compost or mulch stay where you put them, break down slowly and don’t contribute to ground water pollution as long as you prevent run off into drains. In addition, they improve the soil food web, so in the long run you end up using less product. The bounty of good in the form
of rain that we received earlier presents an opposite hindrance of powdery mildew in most gardens. While not too obvious, keep an eye for worsening conditions. Treating is dependent on your level of acceptance. There are some organic formulas using neem oil, insecticidal soaps, baking soda, etc. Do not use a formula that treats everything. Use only a product specifically for the problem. Read the labels and use accordingly. Use safety equipment to avoid exposure to contaminates if you choose chemical. One must cover up bare body parts when applying chemical treatments for disease or pests. Use approved goggles for eye protection, respirator mask, long sleeve shirt and water and chemical-resistant boots and gloves. Remove clothing used immediately when treatment is completed and wash. Take a good shower to remove any possible contamination to your person. Gardens are showing increased prevalence of black spot and a new pest called chilli thrip, which is much smaller than the western thrip currently in our gardens and more devastating as they eat all vegetation. Control is quite difficult, and treatments are being studied. There are a few products being used which are still in research. It is never too late to apply a thick layer of mulch. I prefer composted mulch, not coarse wood forest products, applied to a depth of 4 inches. Pine needles are also good for mulch. I would like to add some information for the future if you add to your garden with plants grafted to root stock other than Dr. Huey, which is the most used for locally grown commercial roses. Roses grafted onto Dr. Huey are generally deep rooted, that is, the roots are more locally distributed in area approximately 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Some roses are now being grown in our area that are grafted onto Fortuniana root stock, and these roses have a different root habit. Their root systems are shallower but also broader, so watering is best done covering the entire bedding area verses the local zone for Dr. Huey-grafted roses. Roses on Fortuniana root stock tend to grow taller and more effusively. The best way to keep an entire bed uniformly supplied with water is to apply a generous layer of mulch. It’s the single most beneficial act you can provide for your plants. I recommend against using mulch containing wood chips of any sort. There are several reasons not to use them. Additional nitrogen must be supplied to replace the nitrogen needed to break down the wood fibers, or a mold or fungi can result which can prevent fertilizers, water and oxygen from entering the root zone. Instead, I recommend composted mulch as it is well broken down and filled with nutrients ready to be integrated into the soil by worms. Also, a soil test kit for analyzing the soil needs could save lots of money, energy and guess work for a fulfilling garden. Maintaining a
clean garden will or can prevent many diseases, remove blooms before they drop petals onto the ground or remove soon if they do fall. Drip irrigation is the best method to provide water to each plant; use an emitter on two sides of each bush. If you buy and plant roses grafted on Fortuniana root stock, use drip line with emitters every 18 inches and use multiple lines throughout the bed. Use of organic fertilizer will eventually save money as in time less fertilizer is needed as it will improve the soil components instead of reducing the elements, especially if you also add three to 4 inches of composted mulch every two to three years. I have grown many varieties of roses in my gardens. Most will grow well in the Temecula Valley. However, don’t expect to have great roses during July through September when temperatures are in the high 90s. Just keep the plants as well hydrated as possible, and let them enter a short period of dormancy or slowed growth, not to produce blooms which will likely be of poor quality and stress the plant as well. Some varieties I recommend are: Mr. Lincoln, Outta the Blue,
Easy Does It, Touch of Class, Double Delight, Joey, Gold Medal, Graham Thomas, Fragrant Cloud,
Fragrant Plum, Sunsprite, Playboy, Sally Holmes, Ballerina and Tropical Lightening.

Moving up? Know these 6 strategies a tempting offer on your home but haven’t made significant headway on finding your next home, you might want to put in a contingency clause in the sale contract which gives you a reasonable time to find a home to buy. If you find your home is not selling as quickly as you anticipated, another option could be renting your home and putting it up on the market later. You’ll have to investigate the tax rules if you choose this latter option. Better still, find a way to eliminate this situation altogether by getting your agent to guarantee the sale of your present home (see point No. 5 below).
Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Unlike the experience of buying a first home, when you’re looking to move-up, and already own a home, there are certain factors that can complicate the situation. It’s very important for you to consider these issues before you list your home for sale. Not only is there the issue of financing to consider, but you also have to sell your present home at exactly the right time in order to avoid either the financial burden of owning two homes or, just as bad, the dilemma of having no place to live during the gap between closings. In this report, we outline the six most common mistakes homeowners make when moving to a larger home. Knowledge of these six mistakes, and the strategies to overcome them, will help you make informed choices before you put your existing home on the market. 1. Rose-colored glasses Most of us dream of improving our lifestyle and moving to a larger home. The problem is that there’s sometimes a discrepancy between our hearts and our bank accounts. You drive by a home that you fall in love with only to find that it’s already sold or that it’s more than what you are willing to pay. Most homeowners get caught in this hit or miss strategy of house hunting when there’s a much easier way of going about the process. For example, find out if your agent offers a buyer profile system or house-hunting service, which takes the guesswork away and helps to put you in the home of your dreams. This type of program will cross-match your criteria with ALL available homes on the market and supply you with printed information on an ongoing basis. A program like this helps homeowners take off their rose-colored glasses and, affordably, move into the home of their dreams.
2. Failing to make necessary improvements If you want to get the best price for the home you’re selling, there will certainly be things you can do to enhance it in a prospective buyer’s eyes. These fix-ups don’t necessarily have to be expensive. But even if you do have to make a minor investment, it will often come back to you tenfold in the price you are able to get when you sell. It’s very important that these improvements be made before you put your home on the market. 3. Not selling first If cash is tight, you should plan to sell before you buy. This way you will not find yourself at a disadvantage at the negotiating table, feeling

4. Failing to get a pre-approved mortgage Pre-approval is a very simple process that many homeowners fail to take advantage of. While it doesn’t cost or obligate you to anything, pre-approval gives you a significant advantage when you put an offer on the home you want to purchase because you know exactly how much house you can afford, and you already have the green light from your lending institution. With a pre-approved mortgage, your offer will be viewed far more favorably by a seller - sometimes even if it’s a little lower than another offer that’s contingent on financing. Don’t fail to take this important step. 5. Getting caught in the Real Estate Catch 22 Your biggest dilemma when buying and selling is deciding which to
Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
Moving into a place of your own for the first time is a huge step. I remember my first post-college apartment. It was nothing special, but it was mine. It came with a few new challenges, responsibilities and all sorts of opportunities. For the first time, I was able to decide how to decorate an entire living area and turn a blank slate into a home. Here’s some advice for finding what you’ll need on a budget and a few inexpensive ideas to make otherwise unimaginative rooms come to life. Look for hand-me-down and used furniture. Furniture – tables, chairs, bookshelves etc. – often takes up the most space and can be the biggest drain on your budget. You could start by mapping out your home using online floor plan software and determining what might fit and where to put it. When it comes to finding furniture, friends, family members and friends of family members may have something they want to get rid of and simply haven’t had the time or energy to do so. Also consider marketplace websites’ free sections and the nonprofit Freecycle Network, which hosts message boards where you can find local people giving away their unwanted belongings. To find used furniture that’s for sale, head to consignment stores, garage and buy-sell-trade social media groups. There are even
startups creating online marketplaces specifically for furniture, although they’re generally limited to large cities. Get your kitchen in order. Many kitchen essentials, such as silverware, can also be found for cheap at secondhand stores. But if you’re looking for something new, you can save money by shopping at discount stores and online clearance sites. Avid cooks who want to invest in a few kitchen appliances might consider waiting for large seasonal sales. For instance, standing mixers, slow cookers and other small appliances often go on sale every Black Friday. Brighten up the place. While your apartment may have overhead lighting, a few standing lamps can set a much nicer mood. The good news is lamps often stay in the corner and won’t necessarily show a lot of wear and tear. In other words, this staple is another great buy-used opportunity. Don’t shop secondhand for everything. There are a few things you don’t want to buy used: towels and bedding. Add mattresses to that list as well if you’ll be looking for a new one. When it comes to sheets, ultrahigh thread counts could be more of a marketing gimmick than an indicator of quality. Instead, try to focus on how the fabric feels and find a weave that you like. You might be pleasantly surprised by the low-cost options at big box retailers. The same test works for towels.

Purchasing a new mattress can take a big chunk of your budget. Consider one of the new online mattress retailers that sell highquality goods for less. Buying a mattress without testing it first may seem weird, but many retailers offer free returns within the first few months. Add a few personal touches. You’ve got the necessities covered, but how do you turn a generic apartment into a place that feels like home? Think walls, windows and floors. Rather than painting, consider a cheaper and easier route by opting for removable wall decals or wallpaper. There are all sorts of shapes, designs, prints and even adhesive chalkboards for under $20. You could also decorate with paper, canvas or metal prints of your favorite photographs. Windows can get a cover-up treatment as well, but rather than spending a lot of money on brand new blinds, you can get curtains that add color or a pattern to your room. An area rug can help tie a room together, but they can also be prohibitively expensive. However, you might not want to buy a used rug unless you know the seller. Luckily, home good stores and some big box retailers usually have at least a few inexpensive options. Congratulations on the move. Outfitting a new apartment doesn’t happen overnight. Especially if it is the first time you have picked out what to buy, it can take time to find your style and the items to match. However, even with a limited budget, there’s a lot you can do to make a space your own. Nathan Sillin directs Visa’s financial education programs.

Fallbrook’s first canine mayor helps raise over $20,006 Most electoral races are dog-eatdog, but the inaugural canine mayor election in Fallbrook involved lots of smiles and wagging tails. Vince Ross Village Square was full of music, fun and dog-loving folk, as they waited for the winning candidate to be announced May 13. Miss Fallbrook and her court, in addition to campaign managers and fans of each candidate, stood waiting for the announcement to be made. The Midili Brothers band played classic rock as everyone gathered to celebrate the inaugural event. Doggie treats and human clothing were available for purchase at the event,
and folks of all ages were able to meet all of the candidates, some of which dressed up for the special event. Candidates were able to register with the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary, and voting started April 15, finishing May 11. Votes were taken on the Animal Sanctuary’s website and on Paypal; each vote cost one dollar. Voters could vote as many times as they liked for as many candidates as they liked. While the 17 candidates were of all sizes, shapes, breeds and temperaments, their end goal was the same − to raise much-needed funds for the Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary. According to event coordinator Christine Shurow, the fundraiser successfully raised approximately
$20,006 at the time of the event, and funds were still being counted. She thanked all of the candidates, their managers and supporters for their help. Quintin Marr was named Fallbrook’s first canine mayor, having raised $2,423 in votes. His new role includes a one-year term in office, an official mayoral collar, a medal and framed certificate, as well as goodies from local pet businesses. His human campaign manager was also given prizes to enjoy. As the canine mayor, Quintin Marr will make appearances at community events and will serve as goodwill ambassador to all pets in the community, advocating on their behalf. To help Quintin Marr with mayoral
duties, the top five runners-up became Canine Council Members and may be asked to fill in when the canine mayor is unavailable. They also received medals and certificates for their hard work. All candidates received a prize for their hard work. Rounding out the canine city council are Axelle Belle, who raised $1,641; Izzy, a 21-year-old blind and deaf candidate who earned $1,235; Yogi, who raised $1,043; Halsey, who is working to be a therapy dog, raised $745 and Pariselle, who raised $662. Quintin Marr’s work as mayor started nearly immediately, as he served as ambassador at the May 20 1 Love Reggae and Art Fest, another Fallbrook Animal Sanctuary fundraiser, which was held at Casa Estrella.

Memorial Day, a day of remembrance of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice Kim Harris VALLEYEDITOR@REEDERMEDIA.COM
Memorial Day, remembering those who have fallen while in service to our country, is known as the start of the summer season as millions gather together to barbecue, head to the beach or participate in other celebratory activities, but here at my house we do things a bit differently. As a military family – my husband, father, father-in-law and three of my sons have all served our country – we always take a moment on Memorial Day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. We still hold our annual family barbecue complete with ribs, chicken and potato salad, but after we sit down to eat and my
husband offers up the blessing, we hold a moment of silence to honor those who have lost their lives in service to our country. I hope all our readers recognize this holiday and do the same. I offer up my heartfelt sympathies to all families who have lost a loved one in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. I remember as a child, my sisters and I scrounging through the bottom of our mother’s purse to gather change to buy a red poppy being sold in front of the Pamida store in Willmar, Minnesota, by the American Legion Post. I would wear it proudly on Memorial Day and usually for days afterward. This got me thinking about those red poppies, I hardly see them anymore, but their significance is meaningful
According to www.usmemorialday.org, the wearing of poppies became popular in “1915 after the publication of the poem, ‘In Flander’s Field,’ by Lt. Colonel John McCrae, following the second battle of Ypres. The poppy, in Europe and the United States, quickly became a symbol of the fallen military after the publication” of the poem. The opening line of “‘In Flander’s Field’ refers directly to the sight Lt. Col. McCrae witnessed as he, a physician, walked among the crosses laid out to mark the site of so many who died for their counties. While the poppies grew among the graves, they are also a resilient flower,” the website reports. “The poppy is able to lay dormant for many years in the soil only to
reappear in great numbers, covering fields which had lay bare for many years previously. This also held significance for Lt. Col. McCrae as he wrote of the heroes who appeared in great numbers to come to the aid of others against oppression and tyranny during this Great War, and who would lie dormant until their call was heard again.” In honor of Memorial Day, Valley News is proud to share the poem, “In Flander’s Field,” with our readers, and may God bless all of those who have served or who continue to serve our country.
In Flander’s Field By Lt. Col. John McCrae, 1915 In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow., Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields Take up our quarrel with the foe To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields
Agriculture is vital Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS
This week at the San Diego County Farm Bureau’s annual installation and awards celebration in Fallbrook, I was proud to recognize Gary Crouch with an Assembly Resolution honoring him as “Farmer of the Year.” As the owner of Mountain Meadow Mushrooms, Crouch has been active in the Farm Bureau for decades and was one of the first to use the San Diego
Grown 365 logo to promote local buying on his packaging. Farming is vital to our state and local economies. California has long been the nation’s leading agricultural state, and locally grown crops including avocados, citrus, strawberries, olives, grapes and cut flowers have put San Diego in the top tier of agricultural counties nationwide, despite or perhaps because of the fact that we have more small farms than any other county. Despite drought and unreliable
water stability, rising water costs, constant market fluctuations and competition from foreign sources, agriculture continues to thrive in our region. However, state government doesn’t help through added regulations and anti-business policies. In his recent budget proposal, Gov. Jerry Brown called for a shift in funding for career technical education, which stifles the flexibility of school boards to support various programs, including National
FFA Organization. Eliminating or underfunding these leadership programs in a state where agriculture plays such a vital role would be shortsighted and counterproductive. I have joined over 50 Assembly colleagues in standing up for CTE and FFA, asking that these cuts be rescinded. I have also written Assembly Bill 316, which increases CTE funding and breaks barriers to breadwinner jobs. California agriculture helps feed
the world. State government should do all it can to encourage, and not hinder, California’s farmers. Assemblymember Marie Waldron, R-Escondido, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Palomar Mountain, Pauma Valley, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.
tity of ammunition,” and shortly thereafter discovered Means had attempted to conceal a semi-automatic handgun underneath a nearby bush just before the officers found him. A stolen laptop was also allegedly found in Means’ vehicle.
He was arrested on suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and allegedly possessing stolen property. Means was booked into Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta, where he remains in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Ex-con arrested for gun possession TEMECULA – An ex-con accused of possessing a handgun and ammunition remains in jail after a weapon was discovered when sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 1 a.m. Friday to the 28900 block of Newport Road in response to reports of a “suspicious person
looking inside parked vehicles,” said Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Daniel Hernandez. However, Daniels said a resident told deputies the person in question sped away in a vehicle before deputies arrived at the scene. Deputies later found the sus-
pect’s vehicle parked in a business located on the 40600 block of Winchester Road. The driver, Anthony Means, 31, of French Valley, was found walking away from the vehicle, Hernandez said. Deputies searched Means’ vehicle and allegedly found “a quan-
Subject arrested after stolen vehicle pursuit, crash Trevor Montgomery VALLEYSTAFF@REEDERMEDIA.COM
HEMET – Officer’s arrested an alleged car thief at the end of an early-morning vehicle pursuit this morning, Saturday, May 27. The 15-minutelong pursuit ended when the driver of the stolen car lost control and crashed into a fence. The suspect was arrested after he fled from the car and was later apprehended by officers while he was hiding in a residential backyard. The incident began about 5:30 a.m., when a Hemet police officer spotted the stolen vehicle. When the officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop the driver, who has not yet been named by officials, refused to pull over. The driver sped away from the officer, who
initiated a pursuit of the stolen vehicle. Other officers quickly joined the pursuit that wound its way through town, as the suspect fled along main streets and through residential neighborhoods. During the pursuit, the suspect drove in an extremely reckless manner, without regard for the safety of other citizens or pursuing officers. Making the high-speed pursuit even more dangerous, the stolen car’s right front tire was a completely bald, spare, “donut-style” tire. The fleeing driver eventually led officers into a residential neighborhood north of W. Menlo Avenue and west of Kirby Street, where he lost control and crashed

into a fence at the intersection of Ensenada Drive and Fruitvale Avenue. After crashing the stolen car, the driver fled into the neighborhood. Citizens who witnessed the crash and saw the subject flee from the wrecked car told officers he was
last seen jumping fences and running through private backyards. Officers converged on the area and quickly established a perimeter around the neighborhood. They then began searching yard-to-yard for the hiding subject. Officers eventually found and
arrested the person after he was found hiding in the backyard of a home in the 2600 block of W. Fruitvale Avenue. No citizens or officers were injured during the pursuit or subsequent search.
Man allegedly steals car, drives into ravine LAKE ELSINORE – A man suspected of carjacking a Lake Elsinore motorist and fleeing from sheriff’s deputies until he crashed in a ravine was being held today on $100,000 bail. Alejandro Villagas, 22, was arrested Thursday and booked into the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta on suspicion of auto theft, felony evading, receiving stolen property and being in possession of a controlled substance. According to Riverside County Sheriff’s Sgt. Brett Seckinger,
shortly after 7 a.m. Thursday, Villegas and two other suspects, identified only as a man and woman, allegedly confronted a motorist near the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Lindsey Street. One of the suspects allegedly pointed a pistol at the victim, demanding he relinquish the keys to his vehicle, which he did, Seckinger said. He alleged that Villegas took off in the car, while the other two suspects fled in a compact sedan with tinted windows. About nine hours later, deputies
patrolling the area of Lakeshore Drive and Poe Street spotted the stolen vehicle and signaled Villegas to stop, but he sped away instead, Seckinger said. He said the ensuing pursuit went west on Franklin Street, where the suspect drove into a dirt field near Auto Center Drive and eventually ended up in a ravine, where he allegedly tried to flee on foot. Villegas was chased down seconds later and taken into custody without further incident, Seckinger said. No one was injured.
Trial begins for fatal stabbing LAKE ELSINORE – A jury was seated May 26 in the trial of a probationer accused of fatally beating and stabbing a Lake Elsinore man during an attack sparked by a family quarrel. Andy Dean Abegg, 35, could face 26 years to life in state prison if convicted of murder with a sentence-enhancing weapon allegation for the 2014 death of 59-year-old Joseph Madrigal. Following two days of screening prospects, Riverside County Superior Court Judge Charles Koosed seated a jury to hear evidence in what is expected to be about a weeklong trial at the Riverside Hall of Justice. Opening statements are scheduled Tuesday. Abegg is being held without bail at the Robert Presley Jail in Riverside. According to prosecutors, on the afternoon of April 14, 2014, the defendant went to his mother’s house in the 28000 block of Red Gum Drive, on the northern edge of Lake Elsinore, to assist with a septic tank replacement that the woman’s longtime live-in boyfriend, Madrigal, could not do by himself.
Abegg’s mother, identified in court documents only by her initials, V.G., served both men beer, and after several drinks, the defendant became aggressive, sheriff’s investigators said. Abegg began berating his mother, making caustic remarks that angered Madrigal, who told the defendant to leave, according to a trial brief filed by Deputy District Attorney Alberto ReCalde. “When Abegg refused to go, the victim took a bat, approached the defendant and again demanded that he leave,” the brief states. “When the defendant continued to refuse, the victim swung the bat at the defendant.” Abegg then allegedly grabbed the bat from the Madrigal and struck him several times in the head. As Madrigal stumbled inside the house, Abegg struck him several more times, at which point the victim blacked out and collapsed into a chair, the brief said. “The violence escalated when the defendant starting throwing chairs at the victim’s head,” ReCalde wrote. “The defendant continued to strike the victim in the head
while the victim sat with his hands at his side.” Abegg’s mother screamed at her son to stop and, with the bat in her possession, fled outside, yelling for help, according to the prosecution. Neighbors called 911, but before deputies could get there, Abegg allegedly stabbed Madrigal in the eye with a five-inch serrated knife he retrieved from the kitchen. Deputies and paramedics discovered Madrigal in the chair, unconscious and bleeding profusely but clinging to life. He was taken to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, where he died two days later from a combination of blunt force trauma and a stab wound to the brain. Abegg was taken into custody without incident. According to court records, he was sentenced to three years’ probation in February 2013 for violating a domestic violencerelated restraining order. He has other misdemeanor convictions for obstructing a peace officer, driving under the influence and battery, records showed.
