Local businesses want to provide the best services and products for their customers, and with recent news of a minimum wage increase being put into law, many small and medium businesses are trying to prepare for the added expense.

On April 4, California Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 3 into law, which determined that the minimum wage would be increased in small increments until it hits $15 an hour in 2022. According to recent news reports, minimum wage would jump from the current $10 an hour to $10.50 in 2017, then $11 in 2018. Every year following, minimum wage would increase a dollar until it reaches $15 in 2022.

Businesses that have 25 or fewer employees have until 2023 to reach the minimum wage requirement.

This change would impact 2.2

Hemet’s Measure E to be decided in Tuesday election Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Measure E supporters stand with signs at the intersection of Florida and Sanderson avenues in Hemet in an attempt to garner support for a one cent sales tax that would be used to increase the city’s police and Shane Gibson photo fire departments.

Hemet voters will have the power to determine whether or not to approve Measure E, a 1 percent sales tax that will be used to maintain and improve police and fire services in the city, Tuesday, June 7.

Measure E, simply, is a penny on the dollar sales tax put on the ballot by a city ad hoc committee formed by a unanimous vote of the Hemet City Council in July 2015, according to Hemet Police Chief Dave Brown. The tax, should it be approved by voters, would last for 10 years.

“The ad hoc committee, Mayor Linda Krupa and Council Member Paul Raver, met for over eight months investigating possible revenue enhancement options for the city,” Brown said. “They solicited enormous amounts of input from voters, the business and medical

Local MEASURE E from page A-1 community, senior citizen groups, homeowners associated and the chamber of commerce. Measure E was drafted with all of this input and presented to the city council on Feb. 23.”

Brown said the council heard testimony from the police and fire chiefs, city manager and city attorney as well as the community before making their decision to place Measure E on the ballot in 4-1 vote.

The special purpose tax, which requires a two-thirds majority vote to pass, will only apply to sales and transactions in the city of Hemet.

“The community was adamant that the measure include tough voter protections,” Brown said.

Measure E includes specific tax payer protections including independent financial audits, an independent citizens’ oversight committee to review expenditure plans and monitor spending and legal protections to guarantee “existing city funding for public safety is protected and cannot be reduced or redirected by the City Council for other purposes.”

Measure E benefits to the Police Department According to documentation obtained by Valley News violent crime is up 51 percent in Hemet, with a 21 percent increase in overall crime since 2010. City leaders hope funds raised from Measure E can help to combat the problem. The tax is expected to generate $10 million a year that will be directly funneled into the city’s police and fire departments.

The Hemet Police Department is expected to add up to an estimated 39 new peace officers to the Hemet police force, a 57 percent increase over current staffing levels if voters approve the measure. Money would also be used to fund anti-drug and gang teams and additional paramedics for the city’s recently formed paramedic team.

Should the measure pass the police department will be able to be “proactive instead of simply reacting to crime,” according to Brown.

“All of our special enforcement units were cut during the recession when the department staffing went from 88 to 63,” Brown said. “This aggressive proactive enforcement will make it extremely uncomfortable for criminals to operate in our community.”

Brown said that the current level of staffing allows his department to respond, investigate and solve crime at a “very solid rate.”

“However, with no additional resources to prevent crime and pressure criminals before they commit crime, the city will continue to experience extremely high crime and will deteriorate further,” he said.

Brown said that if the measure fails

to pass at the polls, city officials have been clear that a “balanced budget only supports status-quo staffing citywide, including police and fire.

“This means that Hemet will likely continue to be a safe-haven for the region’s criminals,” he said. “Remember, the county jails are full. The state prison system continues to find ways to release serious felons early and these thugs continue to flock to Hemet in disproportionate numbers.”

Measure E benefits to the Fire Department According to Hemet Fire Chief Scott Brown, Measure E, should it pass will allow his department to staff all of its stations with paramedics, implement “Criteria Based Dispatching,” and replace the battalion chief positions that were cut during the recession. It would also improve fire safety, training and operational readiness in the department.

“Today as we speak, I have met literally thousands of our community members, getting their feedback,” Scott Brown said. “Measure E should it be successful is going to provide us with that necessary raise to take us where we need to be to improve our services.”

Scott Brown, who has spent 16 years at the command level in fire services, said the tax would ensure the fire department has adequate staffing to include paramedics in each of the fire stations.

“I’m a very big proponent of fire based medical services, it just makes good sense. It’s more efficient,” he said, adding that the response time is quicker than a contract provider whose response times could be 12 to 15 minutes compared to his department’s six to eight-minute response time.

“Prior to us having paramedics on our units we would have to delay that advanced life support until the arrival of AMR,” he explained. “The establishment of paramedic program from a patient standpoint was absolutely the best and right step in the right direction.”

AMR is not the first responder but is under contract with the county to provide ambulance transportation, he said.

“What we do know is we get there quickly, provide that advanced life support on the spot as soon as we arrive and we continue that care until the arrival of the ambulance then transfer that care to the ambulance,” Scott Brown said, adding that patient care is in the best interest to the community.

“I am not doing anybody any good if I have to wait to apply advance lifesaving skills to our residents,” he said, adding that it is a good system that works well for all involved.

“The best outcome I can show is that we are making a positive impact in terms of saving lives and that is

what we are here to do,” he said.

“That is our mission.”

Bottom line, funds from Measure E can help the Fire Department to continue to provide the necessary services that residents have come to expect in Hemet, he said.

The negatives and rebuttals Those against Measure E and the one cent tax have expressed concern that criminals arrested won’t be put in jail due to overcrowding and Prop 47 which provides earlier release for nonviolent criminals, but Dave Brown believes that should Measure E pass and more officers be on the streets it would be enough to deter criminals from coming to Hemet.

“I’ve spend 32 years studying and practicing in the field of law enforcement and criminology. We know that crime occurs where 2 things are present: criminals and opportunity. When those 2 elements are present, the decision to commit a crime is influenced most heavily by one factor, the “fear of apprehension,” he said. “Additional police resources will give us the opportunity to aggressively target those who are in violation of probation, actively committing crimes and plotting to commit crimes in our community.

This proven method will certainly stop hundreds of crimes each year.”

A second argument has been made that the city could save money by contracting with the county, however, recent increases for sheriff department services over the past two years have led neighboring cities, Temecula, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and six other cities, to form a joint powers authority to reexamine how they provide police and fire services to their cities due to the “unsustainable cost,” of doing business with the county.

The other main argument presented by those against Measure E is the fear that the tax will not end in 10 years. Once Measure E has expired, residents would again have the opportunity to either approve or deny a new tax, again requiring a two-thirds vote.

Citizens Committee holds successful District candidate’s forum Tony Ault WRITER

Hopeful June primary candidates for the 1st District Riverside County Board of Supervisors, the California Assembly District 67 and State Senate District 42 were on hand Thursday, May 26, at the Tuscany Hills HOA Clubhouse in Lake Elsinore for a meet the candidate’s political forum.

The candidate meet and greet forum, sponsored by the Lake Elsinore Citizens Committee and hosted by the Tuscany Hills HOA brought almost 100 residents and seven candidates for the important state, federal and county government positions. Public safety, the environment and local economy were the main topics of the candidates’ discussions at the forum.

Arriving at the HOA Tuscany Hills Clubhouse on Summerhill Drive were 1st District Riverside County Board of Supervisors candidates, incumbent supervisor Kevin Jeffries and challengers Britt Holstrom and Debbie Walsh; Assembly District 67 candidates were Republican incumbent Melissa Melendez and her Democratic Party challenger, Jorge Lopez; and US House of Representatives 42nd Congressional District challengers, Democrat Tim Sheridan and Independent Kerri Condley. Incumbant 42nd Congressional District Ken Calvert was not in attendance and in Washington D.C. A Citizens Committee moderator guided the forum giving each candidate 10 minutes to introduce themselves and the issues they will address if elected to the government positions.

Questions and answers could be solicited during the 10-minute presentation

5

or in the second hour at the candidate’s table set up in the clubhouse.

Here is what the candidates had to say in brief: Riverside County 1st District Supervisor candidates Kevin Jeffries, 1st District Supervisor incumbent: “I get things done,” said Jeffries pointing out his achievements while in office that include voting against supervisors pay raises, replacing the leadership in the County Hospital, created the Temescal Canyon Road Improvement program, helped repeal the “Sun Tax” so solar companies could hire more workers, hosted town hall community receptions to listen to residents and their neighborhood problems and improve services and helped increase the Sheriff’s deputy to resident ratios.

“Our biggest team challenge for all of us is the growth that is coming to Riverside County,” Jeffries observed.

“It is the growth that is already happening.” He said the county never wants to be like Los Angeles County with its overcrowding and cement freeways everywhere. He claimed the county’s biggest mistake was not “focusing on job creation.” He said he would help put the emphasis on that problem and try to work to keep Riverside County residents in county with their work.

“I seek transparency, openness and ethics reforms in the county’s development plans,” Jeffries said.

Britt Holstrom, a 1st District challenger, said she is a retired nurse and has kept her eye on Riverside County for many years. “We need a change,” she said. “It starts with you and me.”

She said Riverside County residents

need to work together in bringing more alternate energy to the communities. “We got to go for that…We need a different kind of energy. Things that don’t explode,” she said looking toward bringing in more sun and wind energy sources to the county.

She was critical of the choices made by the nation in fighting the recent wars, and that “soldiers need to make the right choice. There are other ways to build up our country at home,” alluding to the Peace Corps and Vista programs. “The soldiers,” she said should not be robots of war, but “should make peace all over the world.”

She noted the county does need to help its returning wounded war veterans. “We need to do everything we can do to make them whole again.” Once they have been made whole again she suggested instead of just giving them homes they should be able to help build them. “It’s a good place to begin,” she said commending what Habitat for Humanity does.

She was also critical of the “meat eaters” who should be more aware of the value of insects and the animals in the world. “We should teach children the value of insects.”

Debbie Walsh, the independent candidate campaigning for the 1st District seat took a different stance on veterans at the forum, introducing her husband as a Vietnam War Veteran. She is a supporter of the American Legion and for the nation to do everything it can for veterans and active duty military.

She says her top priorities are to reopen the Canyon Lake Fire Station, put more Riverside County deputies on patrol, create real jobs and preserve the county’s critical open

space. She pointed to her knowledge of the county’s and District 1 greatest needs through working with former Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster’s as his legislative assistant for five years.

“Public safety is the one big thing for me,” said Walsh. She cited some of the county’s rising crime statistics, particularly in the unincorporated areas. She said she would work to bring back the COPs program to the county so more deputies can be hired on the R.O.V.E (Riverside Off-highway Vehicle Enforcement) and patrol duties.

She believes that the county should help provide more rehabilitation and education programs for prisoners as well to give them better work ethics and keep them from going back to jail.

She told the residents Canyon Lake lost the use of its only fire station and it is time for the County to renegotiate a more favorable contract that will allow Station 60 to reopen.

She said she would also insure that the county keeps the land set aside for conservation and wildlife preservation and not sell it to developers in the future.

67th Assembly District candidates Melissa Melendez, the incumbent candidate for the California 67th Assembly District and a former Lake Elsinore City Councilwoman, said for the past two years in the Assembly she has been fighting to “undo Proposition 47” that reduced the penalties for the theft of handguns, if the gun is valued below $950, and the possession of the date rape drug from felonies to misdemeanors and bills, like AB 109 that allow less violent inmates early releases.

“Public Safety is my main concern,” said Melendez at the forum.

She the public safety committee she is on in Sacramento is the most challenging of all the committees. “I have been trying to address this issue (gun theft penalties) to the voters… this is not a partisan issue.” The Date Rape bill died in the appropriations committee. She said the voters should have the final say on these matters and hopes that her AB 1869 will reverse the gun theft portion of Proposition 47.

She also explained how she has introduced a bill to expand the state’s Megan’s Law list to include family members who have been convicted of sex crimes against their own children.

She said she is or has introduced bills to return the date rape drug to illegal status, the state needs to put more of its money into the repairs of California’s highways, return license fee registration money to the cities that is now kept by the state and known violent criminals should be kept in prison for longer periods of time.

Jorge Lopez, an ex-Marine who has served in the Middle East and Africa, and a Lake Elsinore resident, and challenger for the 67th District seat said he has three main issues he will focus on in the State Legislature if he is elected.

He said he would work to offer free tuition to college for everyone, and to criminals being released from jails so “they don’t end up in jail again. If they have a job to go to they will, instead of committing crimes.

He is also a proponent for the state and federal government to provide universal health care for everybody.

“We really do have a very expensive and really good health care system in California and it should be nationwide,” Lopez suggested. “Besides that, it will be good for business because they (employers) would not have to provide (health care) to their employees.”

“Local jobs is one of the biggest things here,” Lopez continued. “Everyone is afraid of losing their jobs.

We should have wind (energy) jobs for everybody.” He said the state has high speed rail planned. “We should use the state budget surplus to get it started He believes the people of the state are not getting the right value for their taxes and he is an advocate for men and women to have equal pay.

42nd State Congressional District candidates California’s 42nd District incumbent Ken Calvert was invited to the forum but not in attendance.

Tim Sheridan, the Democratic challenger for the District, took the floor to tell those attending he pledged he would be an elected Congressman who would not take any “Congressional Junkets” like other congressmen. Noting that Calvert was not in attendance. “I will be active in the community and actively involved.”

He asked how many in the audience were on Social Security and many raised their hands. He told them that they had not received any COLA (Cost of Living) raise this year like in past years. He noted that those on Social Security needed such raises just to keep up with ever increasing costs and without it they would be suffering. He said he would work to make sure COLA increases would be provided every year and not held back. “I also oppose the privatization of Social Security,” Sheridan said.

He said he would also see that the high interest rates on student loans would be decreased if elected.

Kerri Condley, a newspaper owner and accomplished gymnast, is running as an Independent candidate for the 42nd District and appeared at the forum. She told those attending that she was from a longtime military family and sees veterans as very important to her, especially for the rising number of those thinking of committing suicide, like many others in recent years. “I would call for a Congressional Committee to address the issue.”

She also advocates a 5 percent pay raise for active duty troops, and would ask for $2 billion for emergency funding to the Department of Veterans Affairs to upgrade veteran medical facilities along with making the paperwork to get veteran’s medical benefits much simpler.

She also advocates protecting Social Security and fights against any benefit cuts that might come up in Congress.

In closing her 10 minutes, she said she is a community activist that supports women’s equality to men. She said that in the California Congressional districts there are hardly any women representatives and that is one reason she is running as a candidate. “Count on me to stand up for women,” she said with applause from the women at the forum. “Women solve problems and get things done!”

Board authorizes sheriff to raise rates for use of deputies RIVERSIDE – The Board of Supervisors approved Riverside County Sheriff Stan Sniff’s request to hike the rates charged to cities and other contract entities for the use of patrol deputies.

The rate increase will be retroactive to July 1, 2015, and is needed to recoup higher operational costs incurred by the sheriff’s department over the past year.

Under the revised rate schedule, the cost of a sheriff’s patrol deputy will rise from $149.09 to $160.22 per hour a 7.46 percent jump from the previous fiscal year.

Last year’s rate increase totaled 7.04 percent and prompted an outcry by representatives from five cities, who challenged justification

for such a significant hike.

The board approved the increase anyway but vowed a top-to-bottom review of sheriff’s operations to determine where costs might be contained in the future. That led to an audit this winter by Netherlandsbased KPMG, a professional services firm that scrutinized multiple components within the agency.

No one spoke out against the hike on the May 24 board agenda, and none of the supervisors asked sheriff’s officials to address the matter. Last week, the board voted to cover a $25 million shortfall in the sheriff’s budget in the current fiscal year.

KPMG identified a slew of cost reduction opportunities, includ-

ies receive the benefit of helicopter patrols, robbery and homicide investigations, SWAT unit and bomb squad responses without having to foot the bills individually. Contracting entities are further spared the cost of lawsuits stemming from the actions of sheriff’s personnel.

“Every city that contracts with us adds to the workload, and we have to quantify what those costs are so we don’t subsidize them,” Sniff said.

The sheriff’s biggest expense is labor, mainly salaries and benefits.

The board also authorized the sheriff to require 11 cities and three community services districts to pay increased sums for the sheriff’s use of facilities dedicated to servicing the communities.

Sheriff’s officials said the heftier bills generally stem from county Department of Facilities Management costs to maintain stations, including lights, waterworks, landscaping and custodial operations.

The sheriff initially carries the expenses, then passes them on to the contracting parties, each of which is invoiced in proportion to how much they consume.

The largest percentage increase in facilities costs will be borne by La Quinta, which faces a $282,309 bill, compared with $260,149 the previous year – an 8.52 percent jump. The city of Perris will bear the highest facilities fee in dollars and cents: $495,920 – though that’s down from $513,886 the previous fiscal year.

ing accelerating shift transitions to get deputies off the clock faster and turning over more administrative work to civilians instead of tying up sworn personnel with it.

Implementing the changes could take several years.

Seventeen cities contract with the sheriff’s department for law enforcement services, as well as several tribes and community services districts.

According to the sheriff, the 7.46 percent rate increase will allow the department to cover salaries, benefits, equipment and collateral services associated with the sergeants, clerical staff and other personnel needed to support patrol operations.

The sheriff told the board during a hearing last year that contract cit-

The City of Wildomar incorporated in 2008. However, the community of Wildomar was established in 1896 making Wildomar ‘130 Years Strong’ this year.

Wildomar is the combination of the names of the three founders, William Collier, Donald Graham, and Margaret Collier Graham and was recorded as such in November 1896 in the county of San Diego.

An advertisement for the town of Wildomar describes it as a “neat little town, remarkable for the substantial and permanent character of its buildings, the temperance and earnest morality of its citizens, the great and evident advantages of its location, our nearness to the lake, our bounteous supply of pure mountain water, our Grand Avenue, 10 miles long, including a view of the extensive Lake and other beautiful scenery, our good Hotel, and other features make Wildomar a pleasant place for tourists and investors to visit.”

Wildomar was also promoted as a place to settle and call your home bringing to the community one of the first settlers, Dr. Oscar Brown.

Brown was a physician and surgeon for the Santa Fe Railroad and settled in Wildomar in 1897. His

family continued to prosper and The Brown properties were farmed by his son Rudolph Brown, and later by David A Brown, his grandson. The Brown family farm was one of the longest running farms in the valley utilizing a method called dryland farming.

Dry farming was practiced in areas that had significant annual rainfall during a wet season, often in the winter. Crops are cultivated during the subsequent dry season, using practices that make use of the stored moisture in the soil. Rudolph Brown was a scientific farmer, having graduated from Berkeley with a degree in agriculture. He, and later his son David planted a Chilean variety of alfalfa and grains of wheat, oats or hay were also planted. The exact timing of planting in dryland farming makes the difference between profit and loss for the year.

Successful dryland farming is possible with as little as 9 inches of precipitation a year with higher rainfall increasing the variety of crops.

Native American tribes in the arid Southwest survived for hundreds of years on dryland farming in as little as 10.5 inches and in areas of Washington they dry farm banking on as little as 8.5 inches.

The past five years of rainfall for Wildomar has only been 5.83, which is far below the required

level to support the planting and harvesting of crops. Could dryland farming be utilized today in this area or is it a technique that has seen its time?

By 1955, the Brown family had increased their acreage by either purchasing or leasing about 1200 acres. The original homestead of the Browns was located on Grand Avenue near what is now David A. Brown Middle School. In 2004, when development was booming in the area, developers, the board of supervisors, and the newly formed Wildomar Historical Society worked out an agreement that would relocate the Brown House to be used in the future as a museum.

The Wildomar Historical Society is currently working with the developer to assess the house. The structural engineer visited the site and stated, “Well, it isn’t fatal.” It is with great hopes that we can restore the house and be able to share our rich history and preserve the historical resource for generations to come.

Three-way race for supervisor seat heads toward June 7 primary election Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

Three Southwest Riverside County political powerhouses are vying for a supervisor seat that is up for grabs June 7.

But all three candidates, incumbent Chuck Washington and challengers Randon Lane and Shellie Milne, concede that the contest will likely continue well beyond that point. Two of them are expected to square off in what will be a costly, cagey campaign that will stretch into early November.

“It’s headed for a runoff,” Milne said in a point-blank assessment that all three candidates generally share.

As the race unfolds, it is a contest that will be dissected from various angles.

Some observers want to see whether a Gov. Brown appointee can survive in a top-heavy Republican district. Others are curious whether a candidate with Tea Party roots can climb to a countywide perch. Some ponder whether a hopeful with strong Republican ties will carry the day. Others wonder whether the political balance in the county’s Third District will continue to tilt toward the Interstate 15 corridor and away from Hemet and San Jacinto.

Rarely have three candidates with such hefty political pedigrees gone toeto-toe in a local supervisorial contest.

And it is a contest with much at stake. The county is snared by a crushing budget deficit and the four cities that anchor the district are squeezed by spiraling public safety and infrastructure costs.

Each candidate must win to stay in the political arena. The council terms of both Lane and Milne end late this year. Neither is seeking to retain their city post.

On top of all that, the structuring of alliances has drawn new political lines

and sharpened old ones.

In Washington’s case, a longtime connection is being cited as a political liability. Washington shrugs off critics who say his ties to a prominent real estate and development company have tangled his office in a web of conflicts The county’s third supervisorial district is home to more than 450,000 residents. It stretches from Temecula to San Jacinto and Idyllwild to Anza Borrego Desert State Park. It takes in four cities: Temecula, Murrieta, Hemet and San Jacinto; as well as such farflung unincorporated communities as Murrieta Hot Springs, French Valley, Winchester, Aguanga, Lake Riverside and Anza.

The five county supervisors serve four-year terms and they each earn a base salary of nearly $148,000.

For generations, the Third District was headed by political leaders from Hemet and other population hubs east of the I-15 corridor. Then one growth boom after another roared through Temecula, Murrieta and French Valley. As the district’s population base shifted, so did its political power.

Jeff Stone, a longtime Temecula councilman who repeatedly held the post of mayor, was the first official

from the county’s southwest corner to be elected to a supervisor’s job.

Stone completed more than two terms as a county supervisor before he was elected to the state Senate in November 2014.

Gov. Jerry Brown picked Washington in March 2015 to succeed Stone on the county board. Washington is the only person to be alternately elected to the Murrieta and Temecula city councils. He is also the first black to ever serve on either council. He broke that same racial barrier on the countywide board.

Lane and Milne surfaced as likely opponents to Washington almost as soon as the ink dried on Brown’s appointment.

Washington has carved out a singular political path since he arrived in Murrieta as a young military vet turned airline pilot. His path has also intersected with that of the founder of Rancon, a real estate and development company that has a broad reach throughout the region.

Washington served on Murrieta’s council from 1995 to 1999 and was mayor for part of that term. Washington moved south into the Temecula community of Meadowview, and he was elected to that council in 2003.

Washington served in the Navy from 1981 to 1987. He climbed to the top of his aviation squadron prior to shifting gears and exiting the military. He was then hired as a pilot for Delta Air Lines.

Washington retired from Delta in 2005 as the air carrier spiraled into bankruptcy. He was subsequently hired as vice president of commercial relations at 1st Centennial Bank. He held that post until 2008, and he returned to Delta that same year after the airline brought a small number of pilots out of retirement. He later retired from Delta for a second time.

Make ALL of your arrangements in one convenient location with the family you have known and trusted for generations:

While a councilman, Washington invested some of his Delta retirement funds into a pair of Rancon entities that include a winery.

The precise value of those investments is not specified in state-mandated disclosure forms, but they total somewhere between $110,000 and $1.1 million.

Washington was plucked by Brown from a field of hopefuls who sought to fill the remainder of Stone’s term as Third District supervisor.

Washington says he never imagined that a supervisor seat would be part of his political trajectory, or that his Rancon investments would pose a potential conflict of interest in the wine country and possibly beyond. He said none of his development-related investments has ever returned a profit, and he would sell his Rancon interests at face value if a buyer stepped forward.

Washington brought $155,293 into his campaign for supervisor. That was augmented by another $68,414 he raised prior to April 23, the last disclosure period on file with county election officials.

Washington has loaned his campaign $4,000. Funding committees controlled by two of his former Temecula council colleagues – Jeff Comerchero and Maryann Edwards – have together contributed $3,500. Several vineyards and agricultural interests are among his key donors.

Rancon figures large in Washington’s fundraising acumen. A smattering of development entities of the company together contributed more than $17,000 during the initial campaign reporting period, records show.

He spent nearly $57,500 during the campaign’s first phase. Melody Brunsting, a prominent local publicist and event marketer, has been tapped as part of his team.

Washington, 63, lists his education and his military, business and government experience as his qualifications for office. He said his 14 months on the job have given him keen insights into the district’s complexities. This is no time to interject a new face into the picture, he says.

“There’s a learning curve, and I’m up to speed and I’m up to the challenge,” Washington said in a recent telephone interview. “I don’t think the voters are ready to start all over again.”

Washington said his incumbency is an asset, and he cites a series of “little victories” he has achieved thus far in the district. He notes that he netted the endorsement of the Temecula Valley Winegrowers Association, and says Lane and Milne are grasping at straws by claiming his Rancon investments pose a problem.

Washington said he spent his first 100 days learning the nuances of the district, a period that spurred a report on how he planned to move forward.

“Since that 100-day report I’ve created a vision for the district,” he said.

That vision is not the best path ahead for the Third District, according to Lane and Milne. They say conflicts have edged Washington out of wine country issues and he has been ineffective elsewhere.

They cite what they call a string of Washington’s weaknesses, and Lane goes so far as to accuse the incumbent of “dereliction of duty as a supervisor.”

He says Brown made the wrong choice for the region.

“Obviously, I don’t think (Washington) is the right person going forward,” Lane said in a recent telephone interview. “That’s why I’m running.”

Lane was the youngest person on record to be appointed to Murrieta’s Planning Commission in 2003. He remained in that post until 2008. He has served on the council since then, and his current terms ends in December 2016.

Lane, 47, said he could bring Murrieta’s success stories to the countywide stage. He said Murrieta’s low crime rate, its bustling economy and its road and bridge building accomplishments can be seen as a measure of his effectiveness.

“I think I bring more successes than the other candidates and would be the best choice as a county supervisor,” he said.

Lane has amassed more than 50 endorsements from a vast array of government, political, tribal and business leaders and groups.

Those endorsements include three members of Congress, two state Assembly members and more than 30 council members from 20 cities.

Those council supporters hold one or

more seats in such cities as Murrieta, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Hemet and Corona.

Five county supervisors – at least one each in Riverside, Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties – are listed as Lane supporters. Supervisor Kevin Jefferies, who is running to retain his First District seat, is listed as Lane’s Riverside County endorsement.

Lane, who has spent his career in the telecommunications industry, began the first leg of the campaign with more than $160,000 in carryover funds and new donations. He spent more than $42,000 in the early going, and had nearly $120,000 on hand in early May. Lane loaned his campaign $25,000 near the onset, but has since trimmed that debt to $15,000. His largest donor – Michael Lumary of Yorba Linda – has contributed $25,000 thus far, according to disclosure documents.

Lumary lists his occupation as home energy sales.

Milne has spotlighted her fundraising success as a barometer of her support throughout the district. The press release announcing her candidacy noted that she had raised more than $100,000 over a two week period.

Her documents show about $144,000 in early fundraising activity and $79,300 in spending. She entered the homestretch of the primary race with $65,064. Wineries made up a large part of her fundraising success. That economic sector has poured more than $100,000 into her campaign.

“I have several wineries that support me, and they have stepped up to the plate in a very big way,” Milne said by telephone. The Hemet Community Medical Group has donated $25,000 thus far, records show.

Milne, 46, is a retail and municipal consultant and her family owns a grading and excavation company. She parlayed her Tea Party roots and community activism into a winning bid for a Hemet council seat in November 2012. Her council term ends in December 2016.

Her stances on key Hemet issues, including the city’s approach to public safety services, have triggered a sharp backlash from critics. Milne survived a recall effort that was launched over her vote on fire protection services. Yet she has also drawn support from some influential quarters.

John Petty, a longtime county planning commissioner, swung to Milne’s side after he was replaced by an appointee recommended by Washington.

Milne said she has purposely limited her string of endorsements. But she has reached deep into Temecula to snare some key allies.

Senator Stone’s sister, Lori Stone, is a paid consultant to Milne’s campaign.

Lori Stone owns a Temecula-based campaign management and fundraising firm. Milne calls her “my boots on the ground girl.”

Milne has also won the endorsement of Ron Bradley, who has attained a guru-like reputation among local city managers and councils.

Bradley is perhaps best known in this area as Temecula’s city manager from 1994 to 1998 and as a chairman of its chamber of commerce. Before that, he managed the city of La Mesa from 1980 to 1988. From there, he managed the city of Oceanside until 1990.

He briefly served as an interim city manager in Laguna Hills. He held that same post in Murrieta in 2007 and Hemet for a period that spanned portions of 2012-13.

Thus, Bradley has worked closely with all three candidates. He said he endorsed Milne because she is “a really intelligent woman with an independent mind.”

Bradley said Milne does her homework and she mines local issues far beyond what is written in city staff reports.

“I really appreciate someone like that,” Bradley said in a telephone interview.

Milne said independence, intelligence and candid assessments are key ingredients of her composition. She calls Bradley’s endorsement a “badge of honor.”

Milne said political insiders tried early on to edge her away from the race.

“I was told to get out. It wasn’t my turn,” she said. “I didn’t know we took turns.”

She also concedes that the deck of political heavy hitters is stacked in Lane’s favor.

“Nobody in the status quo will endorse me,” she said. “I come up against that.”

TEMECULA – Among the 25 or so hot air balloons at the 33rd Annual Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival, the Smokey Bear balloon attracted a lot of attention from young and old alike. The 145,000 cubic foot, 97-foot tall speciallydesigned Aerostar balloon was easily the largest balloon there and its unique shape was a family favorite.

represented a challenge as swirling ground winds early Saturday morning defied ground crew attempts to control it and grounded the balloon.

Fourteen members of the California Conservation Crew joined the U.S. Forest Service members and provided extra hands and muscle for the balloon both Friday morning and Saturday morning.

However, Sunday was perfect as Smokey went airborne among almost two dozen balloons that launched over the Temecula Valley. Hundreds of spectators woke up early for the 6

a.m. launch time for a possible free tethered ride on one of the many balloons there.

After two decades of dreaming, planning, and fundraising, the Smokey Bear balloon was built and sent aloft by a unique public/private partnership of volunteers, private sponsors, the National Association of State Foresters, and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Its first public voyage was in 1993 at the Albuquerque International Balloon festival in New Mexico. William “Bill” Chapel, founder and inspiration for the

Expert on radical Islam and ISIS to speak in Temecula TEMECULA – As the globe continues to grapple with Islamic extremists and ISIS – even recently striking this region with the terrorists’ rampage in San Bernardino – understanding radical Islam and ISIS is vital.

To that end, Islam and ISIS expert Raymond Ibrahim is slated to speak in Temecula in June on how ISIS and radical Islam are linked, a pairing that dates back centuries and continues to grow and impact the world.

Ibrahim is a widely published scholar whose books include “Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians” and “The Al-Qaida Reader.” A frequent guest speaker at universities and federal

agencies, Ibrahim provides expert testimony on Islam-related issues, and has testified before Congress regarding the conceptual failures that dominate American discourse concerning Islam.

The talk will be hosted by the Murrieta-Temecula Republican Assembly at its regular monthly meeting June 3. The gathering, which includes dinner, runs from 6-8:15 p.m. at the Temecula City Hall Conference Room, 41000 Main Street.

“Ibrahim will offer crucial information on understanding terrorists’ goals, and how the West must respond to that extremism,” said Bob Kowell, president of the MurrietaTemecula Republican Assembly. “In

December, 14 nearby residents were brutally slaughtered in the shooting rampage in San Bernardino, and that was a direct result of terrorist extremists. This issue affects us all. We must arm ourselves with knowledge.”

Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and a former Hoover Institution Media Fellow, among other titles and affiliations.

The event is open to the public.

The cost is $15 for members, $20 for non-members, $10 for students under 25 and Gold Eagle Members, and free for active duty military. To RSVP, leave a message at 951-3042757 or email MurrietaOnlineNews@ outlook.com.

Local WAGE from page A-1 million people who, according to the governor’s office, are currently paid minimum wage throughout California. This will be the highest statewide minimum wage in the country, with Massachusetts’ minimum wage set at $10 hourly, set to increase to $11 in 2017, and Washington D.C.’s minimum wage, $10.50, set to increase a dollar in July.

California legislature reached an agreement with labor unions, allowing for pauses in the annual minimum wage increase if there were negative economic conditions, such as negative job growth or low retail sales.

In addition, Governor Brown can act

by Sept. 1 of each year to pause the next year’s wage increase if there is a forecast deficit in annual revenue of over 1 percent.

While the pay increase is spread out over several years, small and medium businesses still have to begin preparations in order to make sure they can make that transition. For some, it may be more difficult than for others.

Ray Falkner of Falkner Winery believes that businesses that have a large amount of employees garnering income from tips will see a larger amount of overhead costs.

“Speculatively, probably twothirds of wait staff income comes from tips, as opposed to wage income,” said Falkner. “When the wage portion of that income is increased from $10 to $15 an hour, the only real

thing a restaurant owner can increase is the prices. Product will increase; it doesn’t matter if customers go to a fast food restaurant or a five star establishment.”

Falkner believes that some restaurants will be forced to try and pass some of their costs along to customers.

“Customers are willing to pay a certain amount for products provided, but the end result is that if the price is jacked up too high, customers will not frequent those places anymore,” said Falkner, who has 20 to 25 employees at Pinnacle Restaurant and approximately 50 employees at the winery. “In addition, business owners will find ourselves asking more of our retained employees − they will have to handle more customers, deal with more situations, and work longer hours. For some workers, it might mean that the restaurants they work at will go out of business.”

Other business owners believe the state was simply giving itself a tax increase. “This minimum wage increase is no more than a tax increase for the state,” said Duke Maples, who owns Rainbow Oaks restaurant in Rainbow.

“There’s no other way they could get something passed. If they put on the ballot anything that is a tax increase, it fails, so this way they can get it through, but it looks like they are doing something good for the minimum wage people.

“The state gets a percentage of our paychecks, so if we’re making more

money, the state is making more money at the cost of the business owner,” said Maples. “For instance, the wait staff makes $30 to $40 an hour with their tips. This won’t be a pay raise for them, it will be a decrease. People won’t tip as much or at all when we have to raise our prices to cover the minimum wage. Product pricing, restaurants and retail pricing will have to be set. They tax us a percentage of our sales, so if our sales increase because of the increase, the state gets a percentage of that too. The state is getting a double whammy on the tax increase, both with the product sold and the labor.”

Because California is the first state in the country to have such a high minimum wage increase, there is no statewide comparison for business owners to reference. However, some feel that they have been in the industry long enough to know what might happen.

Carol Jo Stevens, the owner of Fallbrook’s Village Home Care, believes the cost increase will negatively impact her customers.

“I employ local, work local,” said Stevens. “The only way to meet the wage requirements is to pass along the cost to our clients, who are the elderly. While the restaurant industry will be hit hard, it’s also many, many others. The barbershop will raise cost of haircuts to compensate. The small independent gift shop will raise costs, the businesses that don’t have international contracts, and have a low profit margin as it is, those will also suffer. I’ve always paid employees more than minimum wage, but when the payroll is going to exceed profit margin, who suffers?”

In 2008, the state of California raised its minimum wage from $8 an hour, and in 2014, the minimum wage was raised to $9 an hour. This January, the minimum wage was once again raised to $10 an hour.

Jon Large, whose family owns El Jardin and Garden Center in Fallbrook, believes that the recent increase is simply another step in an already established process.

“We have had to do increases already, but people are barely becoming aware now,” said Large, who has nearly 50 employees between both restaurants. “I am absolutely for fair wages from the bottom up. The argument sounds very sound to start with, but there is going to be a trickle

down effect. People are going to make more money to spend more money, but those in minimum wage jobs are never going to be able to gain any ground. They will spend their money on more expensive shoes, clothes and food. They will not have more money in the bank, not be saving more for college, and not putting more money in an investment portfolio. They will just be treading water at a little higher cost.”

Jenny Schiebert, a Fallbrook resident who owns Shadowridge Veterinary Hospital in Vista and San Marcos, said that as the rate increases, so does the amount of payroll taxes and cost of workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance she has to pay, as it is a percentage of the payroll. She believes that small businesses will begin to increase costs to help absorb that cost or will hire fewer people on the payroll.

“I just had to cut my healthcare contribution from 80 percent to 75 percent because I could not absorb the cost of increased wages and increased healthcare costs,” said Schiebert, who has approximately 20 employees between her two business locations.

“By law I only have to pay 50 percent of healthcare costs for my employees but I pay more.”

As a veterinarian, Schiebert believes she can only raise prices so much.

“In a few years, if the people making $10 now at after school jobs working in my boarding kennel walking dogs are now making $15, then the people making $15 to $22 now as techs will be making $20 to $27 an hour, in reality. So the $5 an hour wage increase equates to $10,250 more per employee per year,” said Schiebert. “If I have 20 employees that means $200,000 more in expenses per year, not counting the extra in payroll taxes and insurance costs.”

Large believes that larger restaurants with higher ticket prices will not be as significantly impacted by the price increase.

“When people go out for fine dining at a Cohen Group restaurant and buy a $35 to $40 steak, it will not effect customers to pay $40 to $45 a steak,” said Large. “It hurts the little guy, like myself and Dominick’s, which has a very small ticket average.

There is only so much a patron will pay for a sandwich or a carne asada burrito.”

Dominick Grossi, Jr., who owns two sandwich shops in Fallbrook, has only recently increased the costs at his restaurants due to increasing supplies.

“My prices have increased and they will increase every time the minimum wage increases,” said Grossi, who has 14 to 16 employees in both locations.

“I still make the same amount of money for each sandwich I sell. The problem is I love my employees and want them to make a living wage, so I am in favor of the minimum wage as long as everyone understands that prices will go up. They will not go up so high that you can’t afford a hamburger, but they will be more expensive probably up to a dollar per sandwich. I feel I’m on the razor’s edge. I want my customers to be happy and I want my employees to have a good life.”

Another way to adjust to the new expense is to completely change the restaurant structure altogether, said Large.

“Restaurant owners can do away with tips altogether,” said Large.

“You put on the menu that tips are not accepted, and people are more likely to be comfortable spending a higher amount. It’s something we are looking at, in addition to a concept change that would be a complete remodel from what we know about restaurants. Some believe that if we want to stay in the industry, we will need to have no front house staff and eliminate those employees.”

“The full effect won’t happen until we reach $12 to $15 minimum wage,” said Jonathan Arbel, owner of Oink & Moo, a barbecue restaurant in Fallbrook that has 18 employees. “The restaurant industry will say goodbye to waiters, hostesses and all other nonessential service personnel. Get ready to say goodbye to service as we know it. Get ready for more paper eating utensils and plates and less china and glasses. Who can afford a $15 an hour dishwasher? The only way around this is to pass a tip credit in California.

Prices are increasing already up and down the supply chain. We are forced to raise prices with every wage hike.

All of the restaurant owners I know are struggling with this and to make ends meet.”

players will find if they get selected to compete as the week concludes.

The end of the school year is near, but there are still quite a few local teams and individuals battling it out in the post season, which will conclude, outside of State Tournaments,

by Saturday, June 4.

The top track and field talent in the CIF Southern Section was shaved down even further with the CIF-SS Masters Meet at Cerritos College which started Friday, May 27, where all the top athletes, regardless of division, tried to advance to this week’s CIF State Championships in Clovis.

With one final week to go in the softball and baseball playoffs, the road to the championships continued this week as the final games draw near for the two of the remaining baseball teams in our area.

The Boys Golf Regional State Qualifier, sponsored by SCGA, took place Thursday, May 26, at Brookside Golf Course in Pasadena and only local golfer will move on to the State Tournament this week.

The regional team/individual quarterfinals for boys’ tennis were held last week at the Claremont Tennis Club in Claremont, with the semifinals Friday, May. 27, and only a few

Baseball Division 1 The Murrieta Mesa Rams (25-7, 12-3), ranked No. 6 in the final CIFSS rankings, took out Lakewood in the first round of the Division 1 CIF-SS baseball playoffs, 8-0, and moved on to play against Esperanza High School (20-10, 10-2), the No. 1 seed out of the Crestview League, in the second round Tuesday, May 24. A 1-0 win over the Aztecs advanced the Rams to the quarterfinals where they traveled to face Orange Lutheran (22-8, 9-6), the N0. 4 ranked team in the state of California, under the lights Friday, May 27. At Hart Field, the Rams knocked off the Lancers 6-4, advancing them to the CIF-SS Division 1 semifinals, continuing their historic season at Blair Field in Long Beach where they faced the West Ranch Wildcats (24-8, 11-4) of the Foothill League. The Wildcats took out the No. 3 team in the state, El Toro, in the quarterfinals, 2-1.

Murrieta Mesa won, 6-3. They will play the Division 1 finals on Saturday against the winner of Tuesday’s game between JSerra and HarvardWestlake.

Division 5 Hemet’s Tahquitz Titans (18-9, 11-4), the second place team out of the Mountain Pass League, traveled to take on the Olympic League second place team, the No. 10 ranked Maranatha Minutemen (19-8-1, 9-3) Friday, May 20, and pulled out a 4-3 win to advance. The Titans next faced Sierra Vista (21-3, 14-1) of the Montview League and took away a 9-8 win to advance to the quarterfinals, where they faced Monrovia (19-6, 10-2) of the Rio Hondo League Friday, May 27. The Titans took the 1-0 win and advanced to the CIF-SS Division 5 semifinals this week where they faced Woodcrest Christian (27-5, 11-1) of the Ambassador League, who beat Santa Ynez in the Quarterfinals, 7-4. Tahquitz lost, 2-1.

Division 6 Calvary Murrieta (17-6, 9-1), ranked No. 3 as the South Valley League champs, faced St. Genevieve (6-12, 5-5) out of the Santa Fe League in the first round, winning 7-3 to advance to round 2 where they face Rio Hondo Prep (12-10, 7-3). Senior Aidan Stout shut the Kares down on the bump,

Calvary Murrieta traveled to take on the Buckley Griffins (20-4, 110) in the quarterfinals Friday, May 27, but fell 8-1, ending their very well played season.

The championship finals are slated for Saturday, June 4. Divisions 1, 2, and 3 will play at San Manuel Baseball Stadium in San Bernardino and Divisions 4, 5, 6 and 7 at the University of California, Riverside Baseball Stadium.

All games with the exception of championship games are scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

Softball Division 1 The Great Oak Wolfpack (17-7, 9-1), were the home team against a West Ranch team from Valencia that was 5-5 in league and 19-8 overall, and defeated the Wildcats 5-1 in round one. The Lady Wolfpack next faced Huntington Beach (22-7, 6-4) in the second round, ousting the Oilers, 4-1, to advance to the quarterfinals. Next up for Great Oak was a road trip to Mater Dei (25-7, 4-4) of the Trinity League Friday, May 27, where they fell victim to the Monarchs, losing 8-0, ending the playoff run for the first time ever Southwestern League champs.

Division 7 Santa Rosa Academy (20-4-1, 8-2) of the South Valley League and Hamilton (6-12, 6-4) of the Arrowhead League caught a bad break as far as local teams go since they had to face off against each other Friday, May 20, where someone would get sent home early in the post season. That someone was Hamilton, who couldn’t put anything together in the 10-0 loss to the Lady Rangers. SRA went on to face Noli Indian (10-4, 4-2) on the road in second round action where freshman ace, Kelci Hill, threw her third no-hitter of the season in the 10-0 win. The Lady Rangers moved on to face the Academy of Careers & Exploration (18-3, 111) of the Cross Valley League out of Helendale Thursday, May 26, and this battle would not go Santa Rosa’s way as they fell 1-0 in a tight ballgame.

The championships will be held at Deanna Manning Stadium at Colonel Bill Barber Park in Irvine Friday, June 3, and Saturday, June 4. All games with the exception of championship games are scheduled to begin at 3:15 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

Senior, Zac Filos, helped the Rams secure their 6-4 win over Orange Lutheran Friday, May 27, advancing Murrieta Mesa to the CIF-SS semifinals this week.

Track and Field At the Masters Meet held Saturday, May 28, at Cerritos College, Vista Murrieta’s Michael Norman blazed to a state record 20.23 for the 200m and it was into a headwind of -1.0 meters per seconds, which is the fastest time in the world in 2016 in a headwind. Norman’s 20.23 (-1.0) is a new No. 2 U.S. high school history mark, rank. The U.S. high school record is 20.13, run by Roy Martin (Roosevelt, Dallas, Texas) way back in 1985. Norman has achieved CIF history’s No. 1 mark (20.23), No. 2 mark (20.30), No. 4 mark (20.46), No. 6 mark (20.51) and No. 7 mark (20.55) in this event. Can he approach or even match or break 20.13? He has two high school (CIF) races left to see if he can do it in Clovis. All 12 boys in the 1600 meter run qualified toward the CIF state meet. Great Oak High School became the second school in U.S. high school history to field two boys under 4:06.00 in the event.

During her four years of Southwestern League play, it was clear that Temecula Valley alumni Julea Cavazos was going to be something special. She was named second team All-Southwestern League and AllValley in her sophomore season and finished her high school career with a .300 batting average. She was also named TV’s defensive player of the year three times.

These were just a few of the things that California State University, Bakersfield noticed when scouting Cavazos.

Now, a starting outfield for the Roadrunners, Cavazos has continued to make a name for herself. She finished her sophomore season with a

.366 batting average, 12 RBIs and 21 runs scored in 50 games, along with a 1.000 fielding percentage.

Her impressive line at the plate is nothing compared to what she helped the Roadrunners accomplish this season as she, along with the 18 other girls, captured the school’s first ever WAC Tournament Championship, leading to their first ever Division 1 NCAA Regionals appearance.

Cavazos had one of the Runners’ three hits in the WAC Championship Game, including a stellar throw to cut a runner down before scoring, her sixth outfield assist of the season. The Runners would go on to win the game 1-0, over the division’s No. 1 seed and reigning champs, New Mexico State University.

Unfortunately, after back-to-back losses in the NCAA Regionals, the

Former Golden Bear, Julea Cavazos, finished her sophomore season with the Roadrunners yielding a .366 batting average.

Roadrunners were knocked out of play.

In addition to the historic season, Cavazos can add a first-team All-WAC selection to her list of accolades. The first-team selection comes just a year after Cavazos was selected as second-team All-WAC in her freshman season.

Earlier in the season, Cavazos was named College Sports Madness WAC Softball Player of the Week, thanks to her twelfth and thirteenth multi-hit games on the season. Her stellar performance that week also led Bakersfield to their first-ever WAC series sweep, after downing Seattle University in three-straight games.

She finished the season with a teamhigh 15 multi-hit games.

With two full years of eligibility left at CSU Bakersfield, expect to hear a lot more from Cavazos as she continues to develop into a star.

Local youth athletes advance in the MLB Pitch, Hit & Run Competition Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

On May 15, Major League Baseball partnered with Chino Hills to host their annual MLB Pitch, Hit & Run Competition. The event was one of dozens of competitions that the MLB hosts every year to compare winners from around the

nation before crowning their Pitch, Hit & Run Champions.

The Pitch portion of the competition tests how accurately athletes can throw strikes to a “Strike Zone” from designated distances, they get six chances to hit the zone, and each strike is worth 75 points.

The Hit portion tests athletes ability to hit from a tee; competitors

are given three chances to showcase their hitting abilities, while hits are measured for distance and accuracy. The Run section of the competition measures the athlete’s speed while running 120 feet.

Of the 24 competitors who moved on, four of them hail from Menifee. The four local competitors are:

Jeralynn Wells: 13/14 year old Softball Division Lukas Tello: 7/8 year old Baseball Division Jaxon Baker: 9/10 year old Baseball Division Michael Downtain: 13/14 year old Baseball Division With their advance to the next round, the four competitors were

invited to compete at Angle Stadium of Anaheim in the Team Championship on May 28. Should the athletes finish in the Top 3 scores in their age groups, they will be invited to the National Finals, which will be held as a part of the MLB All-Star Week in San Diego.

U.S. Volleyball Women’s National Team visits Murrieta Mesa for Red vs. Blue Scrimmage Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

On Friday, May 20, the U.S. Women’s National Volleyball Team visited Murrieta Mesa High School to continue their national promotion tour before heading into the FIVB World Grand Prix and the Olympic Games this summer. Both Murrieta Mesa and Forza1 partnered to help sponsor the event.

The Murrieta Mesa arena was packed to the brim with over 1,600 people who provided an electric atmosphere while the women played their intrasquad Red vs. Blue match.

Although players switched jerseys and teams throughout the match, the scores remained close either way with the Red Team taking three of the four sets, 25-22, 27-25, 34-36, 27-25.

Both players and coaches were not only impressed with how the team played, but more impressed by the spirit shown by fans at the event.

Team Captain Christa Dietzen commented on the atmosphere after the match, “I think the school district did a phenomenal job of promoting it. It is awesome that the school spirit is here at Murrieta Mesa. What an awesome event to come and play in.”

The coaching staff was just as pleased by the atmosphere, and at some points they even asked the fans to boo for one side of the net to help create an environment like that which they will face when playing outside of the United States.

“What a wonderful atmosphere and reception that Forza1 and Mur-

rieta Mesa High School provided for us. An amazing atmosphere, very Olympic like, including making a lot of noise like we can expect in Brazil, China and Thailand. They helped us train for some conditions that we can expect in tournaments later this summer,” said Head Coach Karch Kiraly.

Fans were treated to a stellar show put on by outside hitter Jordan Larson, who led all scorers with 21 points, including three blocks. They also got an incredible performance from Alexis Crimes from Rancho Cucamonga, who had 17 points and 11 blocks.

Jazzercise, one of the world’s leading dance fitness companies with 8,300-plus franchisees teaching 32,000-plus classes per week in 32 countries around the world is a pulse-pounding, beat-pumping fitness program that gets results… fast.

What was labeled as the original dance party workout, 45 years in, has grown into one of the world’s leading dance fitness companies and Jazzercise will hold a citywide free-for-all open house Saturday, June 4, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., (class at 9:30 a.m.) at the Murrieta Center located at 26490 Jefferson Ave., Suite I, in Murrieta.

“This event allows me to thank all the students who have made Jazzercise a success in Murrieta/Temecula Valley,” said Jazzercise instructor Aryn Ruhmke. “I also want to give the public an opportunity to try us out and see the intensity and effectiveness of our workouts.”

Open house festivities will include

information on the Jazzercise program and a free workout. Admission is free to everyone, and participants should wear workout clothes. Refreshments will also be served. There will also be vendors for shopping such as Lorna Jane Active wear, Gotta Have It apparel, Nutrishop Murrieta, Jersey Mikes samples and Perfect Tan. Raffle prizes and registration specials will also be available.

“We have a new look, new voice and new classes. We recharged our brand to reflect the calorie-crushing intensity of our workouts and confront the misconception that Jazzercise hasn’t evolved from the 1980s.

Our new brand expression is edgy, intense, hard-hitting and modern— just like what customers’ experience in class today. We’re making a bold new statement: you think you know us but you don’t. Take a class and see for yourself,” said Ruhmke.

St. John’s University offers free workshop, ‘Let’s Sleep Better Every Night!’

St. John’s University is offering a monthly series of free community workshops on practical ways to improve health, happiness and well-being.

The June 18, workshop will address the topic of insomnia and learning Courtesy photo easy, simple techniques to sleep better every night.

TEMECULA – Do you want to sleep like a baby? Dr. Pamela Winkler, Director of St. John’s University Counseling Services stated, “An important key to enjoying a good night’s sleep on a regular basis is having peace of mind. And we can learn how to do that.”

St. John’s University is offering a monthly series of free community workshops on practical ways to improve our health, happiness and

well-being. The June 18 workshop will address the topic of insomnia and learning easy, simple techniques to sleep better every night.

The Center for Disease Control estimates more than a third of all Americans are not getting the sleep on a regular basis that we really need.

“This is a serious issue for our general health and feeling of wellbeing,” said Winkler. “Insomnia can contribute to so many other

problems, including high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, headaches, memory impairment, fatigue, moodiness, and accidents at work or while driving.”

Insomnia is the most common type of sleep disorder. Patients treated for depression and high blood pressure are often prescribed medications that list insomnia as one of their main side effects.

“We are seeing more and more clients at S.J.U’s Counseling Services who are suffering with many symptoms resulting from side effects of medication,” said Winkler. “Insomnia, depression and anxiety are the most common symptoms our clients are experiencing.”

Since 1970, St. John’s University has been an academic leader in holistic wellness with a comprehensive certification and graduate level degree programs in Clinical Hypnotherapy. Harnessing the natural healing power of the inner mind is a fundamental component to holistic wellness. Self-hypnosis is the ultimate tool for self-healing the mind-body-spirit.

amount of REM sleep, or rapid eye movement, we get every night. REM sleep provides the deeper levels of restorative sleep. Trying to get a good night’s sleep with a glass or two of wine before bedtime can actually have the opposite results, causing us to wake up feeling tired and out of sorts.

Life can be very stressful. According to AARP, there is a clear link between stress and insomnia and illness, causing us to catch more colds and flu, unwanted weight gain and slower healing. Half of people 65 and older are taking multiple medications, with insomnia being a known side effect.

St. John’s University, located across from the Grace Mellman library on County Center Drive, has offered a comprehensive certification and graduate level degree programs in Clinical Hypnotherapy through the convenience of distance learning.

There are significant career opportunities as a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist. Professionals seeking graduate degrees in Clinical Hypnotherapy include nurses, dentists, addiction counselors, social workers, family and marriage counselors, and psychotherapists. Hypnotherapy has many other professional applications, including teaching, coaching and business.

“We can be successful in creating our own natural medicine with effective mindfulness,” stated Winkler.

“Sleep deprivation directly interferes with our body’s natural ability to refresh both our mind and our body.

Many clients dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, weight issues and chronic pain are also not getting the kind of restful sleep they need to improve or maintain good health.”

The U.S. military is also now taking a second look at the relationship between sleep deprivation, beginning in basic training, and the increasing number of veterans experiencing symptoms of PTSD. High on the list of PTSD symptoms is insomnia.

Many are also starting to question why veterans, who have been diagnosed with PTSD, are prescribed medications that have known side effects of insomnia and depression.

Telling your kids you’re proud of them putting in extra effort, a parent offering praise is heard and appreciated.

What you are doing is highlighting the effort and initiative of your child, rather than focusing on only the results.

When we praise our kids for putting in that extra effort, it becomes a reward that reinforces the work they’re doing and makes it more likely that they will want to continue to try as hard in the future.

It’s important not to simply assume that our kids are aware that we’re proud of them. And it is also important to find a correct balance between offering too little or too much praise.

We have to recognize when a child is pushing himself or herself to try something new or to work a little harder. That’s the time to compliment and let your child see how pleased you are of the effort they’re making.

The end result may not be a first place trophy or any measurable success, but you want your child to know you’re proud of his or her trying.

It’s important for parents to be proud of their children and what they do. But it’s even more important that that pride is clearly communicated.

American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As parents most of us are proud of our children but recent studies have found that we don’t always do a good job of communicating that feeling. That’s unfortunate because when kids are aware of the pride their parents have in them the result is usually a much stronger relationship.

And a stronger relationship can be important as our kids get older, want more independence and often find themselves in conflict with parental rules and regulations.

So how does one go about effectively communicating the pride that you feel for a son or daughter?

One starting point is not to praise everything, especially the low-effort accomplishments that your child knows isn’t really worthy of praise (“Great job of finishing that bowl of cereal, kiddo!”).

Offering praise for things that really aren’t challenging and really aren’t much of an accomplishment ends up turning all of our praise into “white noise,” background words that don’t carry much meaning or worth and which our kids often ignore.

One hint that experts offer on effective ways to communicate pride in your child is to focus on the process, rather than simply on the outcome.

Tourette Association announces awareness campaign BAYSIDE, N.Y – In honor of National Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month (May 15 – June 15), The Tourette Association of America is launching a new social media campaign that will raise awareness, acceptance and knowledge about Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Tic Disorders.

The #tiChallenge is a groundbreaking social media awareness campaign that challenges individuals to re-think Tourette Syndrome and other tic disorders. People nationwide are asked to create short “I Challenge” videos inspiring others to be more compassionate and informed about Tourette Syndrome.

The campaign is part of a larger movement to place TS and Tic Disorders in the national spotlight, and encourage communities to learn more the disorders and the impact they have on children and families affected by them.

“Despite estimates indicating that TS and Tic Disorders affect 1 in every 100 school-aged children across the United States, these neurological disorders continue to be heavily stigmatized, with people using Tourette as a punchline and labeling it as a cursing disease,” says John Miller, Tourette Association President and CEO. “Until we find a cure, the Association’s mission is to continue challenging the public to show their support and help improve the quality of life for the children and adults affected by the disorder.”

Call to Action: Participate in the #tiChallenge The Tic-Challenge will take place from May 22 through May 30. During this time, the Tourette Association is asking everyone to share their “I Challenge” videos as it relates to Tourette and post them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag, #tiChallenge. Get the details at http://tourette-events. org/tichallenge/.

About Tourette Syndrome and Tics Tourette Syndrome is part of a spectrum of hereditary, childhood-onset, neurodevelopmental conditions referred to as Tic Disorders. These conditions affect both children and adults, causing them to make sudden, uncontrollable movements and/or sounds called tics (e.g. head bobbing, arm jerking, shoulder shrugging and grunting).

Non-tic features, such as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and learning difficulties, often develop in affected individuals.

Symptoms in Tic Disorders can range from mild to severe and, in some cases, can be self-injurious,

Man stabbed at Temecula house party

Deputies immediately cordoned off Macaws Court and began searching for evidence once the victim was transported to Miguel Shannon photos an area hospital.

Numerous party-goers were detained for questioning following the stabbing incident.

Trevor Montgomery WRITER

A man was stabbed at a house party on Macaws Court in Temecula, Friday, May 27. The incident was reported to Riverside County emergency dispatchers at 11:13 p.m., according to Riverside Sheriff’s Sgt. Collazo.

Macaws Court is located less than one block east of Wolf Creek Park and Temecula Luiseño Elementary School.

The alleged suspect, who has only been identified as a black male adult, reportedly fled the location in a black vehicle immediately after the stabbing, according to a press

release issued by the department.

The press release reported the first deputy arrived at the location within minutes of dispatchers receiving the call and advised finding between 50-60 vehicles parked near the location of the party. The deputy described a chaotic scene and requested assistance from additional deputies and for emergency first responders to expedite their response to the location.

Within moments, the deputy advised dispatchers he had located the victim of the stabbing, who was bleeding heavily and still had a knife lodged in his stomach.

Within 15 minutes of the first 911 call the victim was being treated by

paramedics and was transported to a local area hospital where his injuries were determined to be non-life threatening, according to Collazo.

Numerous party-goers who were at the residence when the stabbing occurred were detained for questioning, while deputies conducted their initial investigation.

Macaws Court was closed to through traffic and crime scene tape could be seen surrounding the residence where the stabbing occurred.

Forensic investigators responded to the location to collect evidence and document the crime scene.

“The investigation revealed the victim and an unknown male engaged in a physical altercation

during a large party at the location,” according to Collazo. “During the altercation, another person who has not been identified assaulted the victim… and caused the injury.”

Charles Rosemond, who lives at the end of the normally quiet neighborhood where the incident occurred, said he was aware a party was happening where the incident occurred. However, the first he heard of the stabbing was when people began pounding on his door, screaming for someone to call 911.

“Before I could even call 911, I could hear police sirens and saw officers flooding into the neighbor-

hood,” Rosemond said. “I cannot believe something like this happened in our neighborhood, but I was happy to see how quickly officers responded to help (the person) who got stabbed.”

Sara McMahon tries on a full fire turnout suit. She was shown how to use a firehose, learned how fire calls are dispatched, given a full tour of the facility and so much more while visiting Hemet’s historic Firehouse 1.

Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Hemet resident Sara McMahon is a young adult living with autism on her own terms. As the star of her own show, “Sara’s Town,” she is achieving exactly what she always wanted as her career, to host a show for children and families.

“Sara’s Town” is a YouTube series filmed at locations throughout southern California. Many of “Sara’s Town” episodes were filmed where Sara and her family live in Hemet and San Jacinto.

Sara’s parents, Tamara and Art Martin have always supported Sara’s dreams and searched for a way to make her goal of being a star a reality.

Even as a child, Sara always wanted to have a career where she could be part of a family friendly show. She has always wanted to be a positive role model, not only for others living with Autism, but for children and adults as well. When Sara was growing up, she loved putting on shows and concerts for her family and friends. “She has always loved performing for others,” Art explained. “She would even film her performances so she could watch them later.”

Although Sara always enjoyed putting on shows for her friends and family, she would often say, “I just wish this could be real.” Her dreams of being a real star and desire to be a positive role model for others pushed her to dream bigger.

“Sara’s Town,” the realization of a dream “After Sara graduated from high school we searched for adult programs for her,” Art said. “We looked into many programs that would fill Sara’s desire to perform and be a positive role model for others, but none of the programs we looked into were the right fit for her.

“We prayed a lot as parents for direction and guidance for the next phase of Sara’s life,” Art explained.

“Then it dawned on us that with YouTube, Sara’s dreams of being the star of her own show could become a reality.

“At first, we didn’t know if what we were trying would work for Sara,” Art said. “There are always challenges, but as we learn it gets better.”

When “Sara’s Town” was first getting started, Sara’s behaviorist from the Inland Regional Center helped her deal with new situations and meeting new people.

Once Sara and her family decided to begin filming “Sara’s Town,” Sara already knew where she wanted to film her first episode. She wanted to

film at Rancho Vet Tack and Feed.

“Molly Hurtado, the businesses owner, was wonderful,” Art said. “She graciously took Sara behind the scenes and opened her heart to Sara.”

Diversity is the key to Sara’s success Sara said her favorite part of filming her episodes is “meeting interesting farm animals and all the new people.”

Since Sara has always loved animals, many of her episodes have featured her interacting with different animals. Some of her favorite episodes were filmed at Living Free Animal Sanctuary, DeJong’s Dairy, Invicta Farms, Karla’s Kritters and the Creation Science Museum.

From filming an episode at Hemet’s historic Firehouse 1 and learning about what firefighters do on a daily basis to making an episode with the L.A. Kings Sled Hockey team, to feeding a newborn calf at DeJong’s Dairy, to riding a Tennessee Walker horse at Invicta Farms, filming “Sara’s Town” has provided Sara and her family with many fun and memorable experiences.

If she had her choice where to film her next episode, Sara said, “I would love to do an episode at Legoland.

That would be so much fun.”

Sara’s entire family helps with the production of her series. Art operates the main camera and does all the editing. Every “Sara’s Town” episode is about 30 minutes long and requires 30 to 40 hours of editing. Tamara runs sound and often operates a second or third camera. Many times Sara’s brother Jesse runs a camera as well.

Sara often comes up with her own ideas about where she would like to do a show and her family and friends help

her brainstorm how to make it happen.

Before the filming of every show, Sara does her research, looking for interesting facts related to each of her episodes. She writes her own questions for the day of the filming.

Sometimes it takes Tamara and Art weeks or even months of phone calls and emails to get a date scheduled for filming. “Some ideas have not always worked out,” Art explained, “but most places we contact are wonderfully open once they know what “Sara’s Town” is about and they really open their doors and hearts to us.”

“Filming episodes for “Sara’s Town” helps Sara to think outside herself which is a real issue with autism. She had to learn how to work with all types of different people and situations,” Art said.

While filming her episodes, Sara seeks to emphasize all the positive aspects of her community. She and her family find that both the audience and the businesses respond well to Sara’s enthusiasm and positive attitude. “We have continually been amazed at how open complete strangers have been with us,” Art said.

After filming each episode Sara writes ‘thank you’ notes to the businesses that allow her to film. “We always want the places we film to know how much we appreciate them,” Art continued. “Like all parents, we love our daughter and want her to have a full life, including making positive contributions to the world.

Sara’s show gives her achievable goals, practical work, and makes her feel like a star. Everyone’s journey is different. Every person with autism spectrum disorder has unique needs and obstacles to overcome and we

“

need to help each of them find their niche.”

Despite her shows’success, Sara is already thinking how she wants to make her show grow so she can reach an even larger audience.

Even with her own obstacles, Sara is proving that living successfully with Autism is possible. Sara proves every day that if you want something bad enough and are willing to work hard, there is always a way to make dreams a reality.

Shawna Sarnowski WRITER

A scrumptious, sweet, sensational performance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was given by The Temecula Elementary School Drama Club May 26.

You needed a Golden Ticket, and rightfully so, to just get a seat. It was standing room only by the time the curtain rose.

The evening’s festivities began with a performance by The Temecula Elementary School Strings under the conduction of Janis Fuhr. The young violinists and cellists impressively opened the show. They set the bar high for a wonderful evening of entertainment.

The troop of young thespians from the Temecula Elementary School Drama Club embraced their craft at

a level beyond their years. The entire cast of over 40 students was charmingly adorable. The stand out performances included fifth-grader Alex Ayala as the eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka, Nadia Orizco as everyone’s favorite spoiled brat, Veruca Salt, and third-grader Jack Schwank as the deserving Charlie Bucket who captured our imagination.

The ensemble cast of Oompa Loompas and Candy Kids Chorus kept the story moving. I found myself anxiously waiting for the Oompa Loompas (in their unmistakable brown shirts and white overalls) to carry off the next hapless child. The choreography was catchy, fun and upbeat.

The stage crew’s set created a colorful and playful atmosphere for the actors to perform. The weeks of preparation were evident.

Willie Wonka, played by Alex Ayala, addresses the audience while the Candy Kids Chorus looks on.

Director, Ann Van Pelt and Director of Music and Choreography, Nancy Reza must surely be proud of the performance that their troop put forth Thursday night. The family,

friends, and faculty that filled the auditorium enthusiastically showed their adoration throughout the show.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory provided a sweet adventure

for all the attendees. The singing and acting made the show a joy to see. Temecula Elementary School is producing our next generation of Talented Performers.

by enrolling in various art classes at Saddleback College in drawing, life drawing, life painting, oil painting and watercolor to name just a few.

Over the years, Harder traveled to the Laguna Art-A-Fair and juried into the show with her inventory. She enjoys participating in art fairs like the Laguna Art-A-Fair because of the recognition she receives. Harder says people whom she has never met in her life recognize her through her featured art.

“Art has had a huge impact in my life. I don’t get a lot of ranch work done because I think ‘Let’s get another painting done,” Harder said, “It’s a beautiful obsession. I truly become fulfilled when I do these paintings” However, she says recognition isn’t everything when it comes to her art career. The intrinsic value of creating something beautiful fuels her artistic drive. After a trip last year to Montana and the scene of the historical Custard’s Last Stand, she was able to witness the culture firsthand that she says excites her creativity.

Her inner connection to the west has driven her to depict that time and region in virtually all of her paintings.

Her connection is so strong that she believes she may have even lived a past life connected to western culture.

Harder had been in the festival of the arts in the 1980s while traveling around the world and building up her ranch. At this point in her life, she focuses on her art.

“I’m at a point in my life where my ranch supports me so I can do what I want, and what I want to do is my art.”

She enjoys participating in art fairs because of the recognition she receives. Harder says people whom she has never met in her life recognize her through her art in art fairs.

“It has a huge impact in my life.

I don’t get a lot of ranch work done because I think ‘Let’s get another painting done.’ It’s a beautiful obsession. I truly become fulfilled when I do these paintings.”

Harder cites another reason for her fascination with cowboy culture is its declining prominence in the modern world.

“Unlike Charles M. Russell and Frederic Remington, I’m painting the cowboy of today,” Harder said.

“If you talk to people in Wyoming or Montana, they’ll tell you that this way of life is disappearing. Soon enough they’ll be herding cattle with helicopters.”

Today, she has horses on her ranch and feels very close to the western way of life. Although she has experimented with many forms of art, Harder now primarily uses watercolor with her signature viscosity monotype to express western culture.

You can see her work at the Laguna Art-A-Fair, from June 24 to Aug. 28.

Dining in the Valley

Temecula is hooked on Bluewater Grill’s sea food and beachy atmosphere

Ashley Ludwig Staff Writer

A

restaurant in Temecula, California continues to make waves in the best of ways. Bluewater Grill, one of seven restaurants owned by partners Rick Staunton and Jim Ulcickas, is on point with seafood flavors and the bright and airy atmosphere and an ideal spot in Temecula to meet friends, family or coworkers for a midday lunch.

When you arrive at Bluewater Grill, diners walk into another world. Set back from the main artery of Ynez Road, an easy location in the middle of the city, Bluewater Grill strikes heartstrings of beach lovers with notes of seaside industrial in the onpoint décor. Soft, white-washed woods intermix with rope and tie down cleat shelving, glass and mirrors, a relaxed and beach feeling atmosphere for anyone who wants a bit of sea side escape.

The lunch and happy hour menu is priced to enjoy a wide variety of Bluewater Grill offerings, with market priced sea food delivered fresh daily from San Diego, and their own swordfish harpoon boat – the Pilikia – which serves fresh harpooned swordfish, in season, Bluewater Grill is in its 20th year of business and going strong.

At the Temecula restaurant, the fish market display showcases the varieties of market fresh fish, clam chowder and smoked fish available.

The knowledgeable counter staff will assist you with sustainably caught seafood to take home and prepare yourself. But treat yourself to the best ocean dining in Temecula at this award winning restaurant.

Outdoor dining is available, and according to General Manager Chad Simpson, a new patio expansion for the restaurant is on the way.

“Bluewater Grill is available for banquets, parties and catering services,” Simpson said. “Because of our proximity to the Temecula Valley Auto Mall we offer discounts to auto mall employees during their workday.”

A delicious location for a workday lunch, dive in for a quick bite or come for happy hour. If you can stay for a lingering lunch, the menu offers extensive appetizers, main course items or lunch specials brought to the table by friendly staff.

Local wine is poured, and many recognizable local craft beer is on draft behind the well-appointed bar.

Lunch visitors can eat at the bar, or at the many tables scattered throughout the restaurant, with a menu that will please seafood lovers and land lovers alike. Come for happy hour, Sunday to Thursday from 3-6 p.m. for small plate and drink specials, including oyster shooters, grilled fish tacos, ahi poke lettuce wrap, steamer clams and more.

First up to the table was the Ahi Poke, brought to the table in a wide-mouthed mason jar, paired with fresh made sweet potato chips.

This perfect starter for lovers of sushi-grade Ahi, tossed in an “Asian inspired” marinade, the ahi is tossed with diced cherry tomatoes, avocado and crisp cucumber. The tuna is swimming-fresh, perfect consistency and succulent with each chopstick bite. Thin, crispy sweet potato chips are the perfect complement to the Poke.

The Ponzu Scallops, served ice cold in scallop shell trays, topped

If seafood isn’t your thing, the Bluewater Grill Angus burger will fit the bill for lunchtime in Temecula.

The Bluewater Grill in Temecula, California is known for their fresh seafood market, with fish sold market fresh out of the case, and famous Ashley Ludwig photo chowder available for purchase.

with roe, ginger and the sweet, Asian ponzu sauce is another delightful sharable appetizer. This delicacy will surely impress any sushi lover and is an ideal cool start to a summer meal.

If you prefer something crisp, the Salt and Pepper Shrimp will fill the bill. A new creation brought to the table by chef Art Garcia, a Southern California trained executive chef known for his seafood expertise.

These delightful full-bodied shrimp are best eaten sans-head, but the flavorful garlic, scallions, ginger, salt and pepper spices will crunch with every bite. Don’t hesitate to eat the shell on these tasty treats.

Behind the bar, Kaelyn LeClair offers her expertise on area beer and wine. Refuge Orange Wit is a perfect light and citrus complement to any dish. For lunch, choose between the impeccable Mahi Mahi sandwich, delivered on a freshly baked brioche bun, served with roasted tomato, jalapeno aioli and the housemade “chips” french fries. The tender Mahi Mahi, served medium-rare, will melt in your mouth – the jalapeño provides dimension and heat amid the creamy aioli. This is the kind of sandwich that makes it difficult to try anything else when

you come, and leaves you craving a return visit.

If you find yourself at Bluewater Grill, but seafood isn’t your thing, try the Angus Burger. Angus beef, with light crispy fries and a thick heirloom tomato make this a perfect spot for families and friends who favor seafood and then some.

Finally, a visit to Bluewater Grill isn’t complete unless someone the table orders the seasonal special, or the Today’s Fish, fresh cut on the premises, and made to order with signature sauce and sides.

For our visit, we enjoyed the Wild Alaskan Halibut, priced at $32 a plate. This dish is a delight for the senses. Fresh halibut, served pan seared over top of parmesan polenta cake, oyster mushroom, spinach Florentine, plate drizzled with an ovendried tomato vinaigrette. Garnished with edible flowers, this flake-apart halibut captures the essence of fresh, with beautiful presentation by Chef Art Garcia. The polenta cake ads a rounding dimension of sharpness with the parmesan, when savored with a bite of flaky halibut. Each bite will send you into another place, where the sea breeze and splashing waves will take you away.

Wine country outings are a part of life in southwest Riverside County. Rather than driving out Rancho California, head east on Temecula Parkway, and toward the De Portola Wine Trail, where Fazeli Cellars awaits with food, friends and amazing talent of buzz worthy musicians.

This Friday, June 3, come to enjoy all of the above from 6-9 p.m. With the live music of Jeff Brinkman. Many may remember him from Season 3 of FOX’s “XFactor” fame, when Brinkman was praised by Simon Cowell, and other judges for his raw vocals, ultimately placing in the top 10 for his age group in that competition.

Brinkman has been compared to Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, Joe Cocker, Ben Harper and Ray LaMontagne. An intimate performance, at Fazeli Cellars, Brinkman’s appearance is a rare treat for locals who love soulful tunes.

Saturday, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Harmony Road will take the stage in wine country, with Frankie and the Invisibles appearing in the Fazeli Cellars tasting room in Old Town Temecula, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. For those in the know, however, it is the Studio 54 party at Fazeli’s wine country location that will light up the De Portola Wine Trail with Saturday Night Fever.

Owner BJ Fazeli is known for having tricks up his sleeve with quarterly events, such as the popular Mad Hatter’s Party. The Studio 54 party, June 4, is a 70s inspired event, where sparkling disco balls, thumping music, sparkling wine and dancing will take over the winery in the transformative party of the summer.

“The food for the Studio 54 bash will be a play on the kind of food typically eaten after a night out of clubbing,” chef Anthony Barolotta said.

The “It Crowd” at Fazeli Cellars will enjoy a bruschetta bar – with edible spoons instead of crostini.

Furthering the post-clubbing vibe, Bartolotta will offer mini hot dogs and sliders, prepared with his signature style, as well as individual seasoned fries – served in little boxes, fondue fountains, Chinese takeout inspired treats, mashed potato muffins, a Gyro station, mini doughnuts, cake pops and magic brownie bites.

Sunday, June 5, return to Fazeli for an afternoon of gorgeous coastal vies for attention along with live music on the patio from Danielle Taylor, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Taylor’s soulful voice and moving lyrics will give depth to your Sunday in wine country. With musical acts designed to draw crowds, come to Fazeli Cellars for the fun, stay for the food of Persian inspired Baba Joons, and of course, the famed wine.

Fazeli Cellars is located at 37320 De Portola Road, Temecula, Ca. Their Old Town Tasting room is located at 41955 4th St., Suite 101.

Doffo Winery to sponsor MotoDoffo encouraging off road motorcycle safety Tony Ault Writer More than 150 rare, vintage and unique motorcycles will be on display Saturday, June 11, at the Third Annual MotoDoffo event at the Doffo Winery in Temecula’s Wine County to benefit the Kurt Caselli Foundation dedicated to motorcycle safety.

The Damian Doffo family, all dedicated motorcycle riders and invite motorcycle enthusiasts and others to the special event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each year the family out of respect for the late world famous off road motorcycle champion Kurt Caselli winner of many worldwide motorcycle races.

The Kurt Caselli Foundation was established shortly after this tragic death during the 2013 SCORE Baja 1000 finale.

The Doffo family for the past two years has presented the MotoDoffo event, always offering something different for those in attendance.

This year the MotoDoffo is planning, in addition to the special motorcycle collection, will present a motorcycle performance by Geoff Arron, the Red Bull Trails Champion and live music by Bobby Joyner and the Sundowners.

There will be vendors in the Motorcycle and Lifestyle Vendor Row and movie screenings in the MotoBarrel Room.

Admission to the event is $10 and there will be a raffle and

silent auction that will benefit the Kurt Caselli Foundation. Beer and Doffo Wines will be available for purchase including a Limited Edition Kurt Caselli Tribute Wine made by Doffo Wineries. Food will also be available for purchase.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.shopdoffowine.com or at the gate.

The Kurt Caselli Foundation ascribes to improve motorcycle safety for racers and riders throughout the world.

They give this advice to racers: “Before racing, we are committed to encouraging, developing and standardizing safety precautions that will help minimize risk outside for the rider’s control. During racing, we are committed to developing, establishing and encouraging the use of safety equipment and policies to increase the safety of riders. After racing, we are committed to providing a safety net that allow and encourages former racers to further their education and reach career goals for themselves and their families.”

The advice is given by the Caselli family after reviewing what happened with Caselli in the 2013 Baja race. The day he and his KTM North America racing team decided to race in the SCORE it was in inclimate weather. While racing he collided with a wild animal, possible a horse of a cow, that caused him fatal injuries.

The story of Kurt Caselli will be given at the MotoDoffo event June 11 at the winery, 36083 Summitville St. (Rancho California Road) in Temecula. For more information about MotoDoffo see www.doffowines.com.

The benefits of professional dog groomers TEMECULA – Grooming is something few dog owners may consider before bringing man’s best friend into their homes. But grooming is an important component of dog ownership that keeps pooches healthy and looking their best.

Some dogs are more cooperative than others during grooming sessions. Likewise, some dog owners are apprehensive about grooming their dogs, knowing that dogs can easily be hurt during the grooming process. Professional dog groomers can make grooming that much more

comfortable for uneasy dogs and owners while providing a host of additional benefits.

Safety: One of the troubles owners experience when grooming dogs on their own is that dogs tend to move around a lot when getting their hair trimmed. Unlike humans who rest easy in barber or salon chairs and let their hairdressers ply their trade, dogs tend to fidget or move around during haircuts, and even the slightest movement can lead to cuts or scratches that can hurt

dogs and make them even more nervous. Professional dog groomers are well-versed in cutting the hair of fidget-prone pooches and know how to calm dogs so they can enjoy pain-free haircuts.

Nail trimming: Trimming dogs’ nails serves multiple purposes.

Nails that are not trimmed can break, and such breaks can make dogs more susceptible to infection.

In addition, nails that are allowed to grow too long can be painful to pooches, pushing the nail into the nail bed and creating pressure on the toe joints. But trimming dogs’ nails is not as simple as trimming humans,’ as dogs’ nails contain nerves and blood vessels referred to as the “quick.” When the quick is cut, dogs can experience significant pain and even bleed. The potential for that outcome is one reason many dog owners are hesitant to trim their dogs’ nails. Professional groomers do this every day without cutting the quick.

Appearance: Human beings like to look good, and dog owners like their dogs to look good as well.

Experienced professional groomers know how to style dogs’ hair in ways that make the dogs look good and feel comfortable. Different breeds of dog require different grooming supplies, and professional groomers will have all the tools necessary for particular breeds.

Long-term health: Even the most attentive dog owner may not notice certain signs that suggest a dog may be sick or developing a condition that can threaten its long-term health. Dog groomers deal with dogs every day and are in a great position to recognize any

THINK LIKE A MARKETER, EXECUTE LIKE A PUBLISHER. Content marketing planning requires an editorial calendar, especially for the production of videos, rollout of various sales and ad campaigns (product ordering, collateral development, etc.), lead time for content development, etc. It should include media formats to be delivered, target dates and target destinations.

abnormalities that may be indicative of a larger problem. Owners may not notice rashes, lesions, skin discoloration or lumps right away, but dog groomers, especially those who have groomed particular dogs in the past, may be more likely to notice such irregularities. This can provide

an important safety net between grooming sessions and vet visits.

Taxes should only be raised when there’s no other good option Senator Dennis Hollingsworth (ret.)

SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

We’ve all heard it too many times to count in the past eight or nine years, “There’s just no other option, we have to raise taxes.”

The reasons vary from too few revenues to not enough spending to go around. And then there’s my personal favorite: “Because these cuts would be devastating” as though everybody else should tighten their belts in hard times, except the bureaucrats. We’ve no doubt heard them all, and we also know just about all of the excuses for government to raise taxes fall flat under scrutiny.

I know, because I spent my entire career in the legislature

scrutinizing and opposing tax increases. You may even remember the national news it made when a group of State Senators asked me to lead their caucus and stand in opposition to Governor Schwarzenegger’s massive tax increase a few years ago. I hate tax increases.

I have never supported one. Until now.

Having grown up in the valley, after representing parts of Hemet in the legislature, and currently volunteering with efforts to make Hemet and San Jacinto better places to live, work and raise a family, I can tell you my heart breaks every time I see the decay and the tough times people are facing all over the valley. We are at a turning point.

Crime is out of control. It has af-

fected everybody, and it is only going to get worse. We can’t bring new jobs or economic strength to the valley if we’re weighted down in a crime cesspool. If we don’t do something drastic, now, we may not ever be able to bring the valley out of this downward spiral.

That something drastic includes raising a tax, temporarily, by voting to pass Measure E. There. I said it. I hate it. But if ever there was a tax that was justified and the money surrounded by safeguards from abuse, Measure E is it. It has a hard sunset, it goes away in 10 years without a new two-thirds vote of the people, making it truly temporary until we get a handle on things. The taxes raised cannot be used by the politi-

cians to shift money away they are already spending on police and fire.

It has a citizens’ review committee with real teeth. It guarantees substantially more cops on the street, patrolling and fighting crime. It can’t go to fill union coffers or pad salaries.

Compare the crime problem in Hemet to the need for a troop surge in Iraq if you’d like. Or the way Mayor Rudy Giuliani brought New York back from the brink with the “broken window approach.” More cops--a lot more--on the street, and more firefighters by raising a tax a little bit for a period of time, is one of the drastic things we need to do to make Hemet and the valley a nice place to live again. The way many of us remember it was, and

how it can be once more.

Do I worry about city bureaucracy or the politicians wasting the new taxes? No. Not in this case. The city has gone through some tough battles and made some changes in recent years. I know the team there now and they are top notch. I know Chief Dave Brown, too. He’s not only one of the best there is, he’s extremely dedicated to his hometown. He’s just simply outgunned right now and needs more troops. Let’s make sure he has them. Vote yes on “E.” Senator Dennis Hollingsworth was born and raised in the San Jacinto valley and represented the 36th Senate District of California.

He served as Minority Leader of the California Senate from 2009-2010.

Welcoming Hemet into the family of communities we serve Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

I work in a fairly exciting business. We get to cover all manner of events, meetings, politics and even do massive investigative pieces designed to inform our readers of what is really happening in our communities. Every week is different and I never really know what the future holds for me in this business. From breaking news to city councils to protests and even features on the people who make our valley great, what I get to do each day is only limited by my imagination and the way I look at life through a reporter’s eye.

This week was no different for me. From a Sheriff’s Town Hall Meeting in Anza to a local high

school graduation, Lake Elsinore’s new busking program and even, a political story regarding Hemet’s Measure E, my skills were put to the test this week and I loved every minute of it. There was never a dull moment.

Speaking of Hemet, you may notice we have quite a few stories from our neighbor to the east this week and that is no accident. Since taking over as editor I have wanted to branch out into Hemet and give those residents the news coverage that they have been asking for and more importantly that they deserve.

Thanks to the efforts of an awesome news team, incredible advertising account executives, a very understanding publisher and the great people of Hemet, we are doing just that. This week, I am excited

Dear Editor, I recently read your article regarding the surprisingly large rural area of Temecula. Coming from Idaho, an area like Temecula was perfect to my parents when they decided to move. I​ t has, as you said, the perfect blend of urban and rural, with plenty of diversity in between.

There is just one thing I find lacking, unlike in Idaho, schools don’t seem to interact much with these rural areas. In fact, they practically ignore them. In Idaho, we took field trips to dairy farms and we went pumpkin picking. We rode the hay rides and we helped grow produce. In my opinion, these trips were highly educational and helped build character.

I have been wondering for some time why the schools here aren’t more involved with the local farms.

Why don’t I hear about kids picking blueberries, or learning how to brush a horse? One parent suggest-

ed that many parents would pitch a fit to hear their child was in such a “dangerous, unsanitary place.” I spent my childhood on farms with eighty plus cousins and we never had an issue. Going to farms and learning to work with animals would be extremely helpful to kids interested in an agriculture-related career or kids desiring to become veterinarians. Even the ones interested in economics could learn something from how farms are run.

Instead, the district has decided to put the focus on “traditionally” educational trips, museums, city hall, even the district office. While I love a field trip anywhere, I think many students would be delighted to go somewhere new- say, a winery vineyard or the local alpaca farm. We here in the Valley have such a unique opportunity. Why aren’t we using it to our advantage?

Lubica Brown Temecula, CA

Dear Editor, In a quest to boost his flailing presidential legacy, President Obama has just announced that he is lifting the arms embargo against Vietnam.

Yet even now, the Vietnamese government still subscribes to a totalitarian ideology … a communist ideology that by conservative estimates has been responsible for 100 million deaths during the 20th century.

All the more appalling… while Obama seeks to arm totalitarian regimes and despots worldwide,

here at home he seeks to disarm law abiding Americans whom only wish to defend themselves by utilizing their Second Amendment freedoms.

Adding insult to injury, many of these Americans whose constitutional freedoms are put in jeopardy

by President Obama are military veterans, many of whom honorably faced down communism during the Cold War and even served in Vietnam.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

More water for farms Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

My Assembly Bill 2438, joint authored with Assemblyman Adrin Nazarian (D-Sherman Oaks), will simplify the CEQA process governing installation of new recycled water pipelines in urban areas, within existing public streets, highways or rights of way for the distribution of reclaimed water. I am pleased to report the bill passed the Assembly.

By streamlining new pipeline construction, AB 2438 will help us in our district as water reclaimed at the Hale Avenue Resource Recovery Facility in Escondido,

will reach more local farms, golf courses, parks and industries. Our farms will benefit when reclaimed water can reach them. Their new scientific innovations allow them to store and use the reclaimed water on their crops. Escondido Growers for Agricultural Preservation (EGAP), http://growescondido. com/, has been working with the City of Escondido to expand the use of recycled water for agriculture.

According to Eddie Grangetto, Jr. of EGAP, AB 243… “will expedite expansion of local water storage and conveyance facilities.”

Recycling water has a positive impact on the environment. It will help California meet its 2030 goal

of creating 2.5 million additional acre-feet of recycled water. Millions of acre-feet of potentially recyclable water currently discharged into the ocean will be reduced, limiting beach closures and ocean contamination. Other environmental benefits include less reliance on the Colorado River, the State Water Project, on local lakes, along with reduced energy costs.

Supporters include the City of Escondido, California Farm Bureau Federation, San Diego County Farm Bureau, Southwest California Legislative Council, California Chamber of Commerce and local water districts including Rincon, Valley Center and others.

Congratulations!

There’s no shortage of stories coming out of Hemet.

If I lived in Hemet, I would certainly check yes on my ballot.

Local student inducted into Merchant Marine Academy

Jacob Preal WRITER

“Integrity First, Service before Self and Excellence in all you do.”

These are the core values of the AFJROTC program at Vista Murrieta High School and few students can construct their lives around this motto better than student Garrett Gal. A member of the Broncos band and JROTC program for all four of his years in high school, Garrett has devoted his life to one of honor and passion. He is reeling with delight toward his recent induction into the

USMMA (United States Merchant Marine Academy) Class of 2020. A self-proclaimed “Navy Guy,” Garrett comes from a long line of Navy men, with both his grandfather and father serving before him. He is excited to continue this tradition and one day serve his country.

Discovering the academies in the eighth grade, Gal was first drawn to the U.S. Military Academy in West Point where he knew he could work toward an officer position in the army. He later decided on the Naval Academy, which would become his “plan A.” USMMA offers an alter-

native route to the Navy by allowing its students to select which arm of the military they would like to join upon graduation. It had not dawned on him to apply to USMMA until he started applying for a congressmen nomination.

“I actually didn’t know until I was at the congressman’s office.

Up until then I had been going for the Naval Academy,” he said with a laugh. “And then they go, ‘what about this?’”

Partaking in such an honor was the end result of a long string of paperwork and interviews. Gal had to apply to acquire a letter of nomination from a congressmen and fill out general applications to the academies themselves. He was advised to work on the two types of applications simultaneously. The congressmen then nominate their top choices of the pool of applicants to a particular academy specified by each applicant. Congressmen can only nominate 10 applicants for each academy. Gal was nominated

by Congressman Ken Calvert. A brief interview is a large component of identifying selected applicants.

This process tested the strength of Gal’s integrity.

“They asked a couple moral questions,” he said. “I was asked, ‘if you saw a friend cheating on a test… would you tell the teacher or would you let your friend be?’ And you had

to answer with ‘yes, I would let the teacher know.’ But they looked for how you reacted.”

The academies select their admits in a similar fashion to college admissions. An online application that requires the usual features like an essay, test scores and high school transcripts must be completed by March 1 of the year the applicant would like to enroll. In addition, applicants are required to submit a Candidate Fitness Assessment. Each academy must also receive some materials by mail. These include the congressmen letter, nominating the applicant to a particular academy, and a medical exam, administered in Gal’s case by a doctor.

Upon receiving notice of his induction to the academy, Gal is most excited for the opportunity to see the world with a collective year out at sea. He will spend one trimester his sophomore year and two trimesters his junior year venturing out to ports all around the world.

Gal has persevered because he was able to embody the integrity that the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy holds its members accountable to.

“I do what I am told and I try to do it as best as I can,” he said.

Gal will be participating in an 18 day indoctrination period in June, after which he can begin his first trimester in the academy.

GOHS students sign letters of intent

Crystal Apple winners honored Brenda Tullis SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Nearly 400 people gathered at a local church Sunday, May 1, to recognize and applaud local teachers for their dedication and hard work and honored four recipients of a coveted student- bestowed award.

At the 12th annual Crystal Apple Awards ceremony, 280 students from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the Chaparrral, Temecula Valley and Great Oak high schools honored 127 exemplary teachers they had individually nominated to receive a Crystal Apple award. The nominations are then scrutinized by a 12-member committee comprising members of the LDS public affairs committee and other officials and by a tally of votes, the recipients are chosen.

County and city officials including, Riverside Counter Supervisor Chuck Washington, Temecula City Councilman Michael McCracken, Mayor Pro Tem of Temecula Maryann Edwards, Temecula Valley Unified School District Superintendent Tim Ritter, TVUSD school board President Allen Pulsipher and school board member Julie Farnbach as well as CHS High School Principal Gil Compton, TVHS Principal Allen Williams and GOHS Assistant Principal Judy Stapleton were in attendance at the event.

Crystal Apple winners were CHS literature and writing teacher Amie Charnie, GOHS mathematics teacher Reuben Villar, TVHS English and drama teacher Derek Heid and TVHS coach and economics teacher Rico Thompson, not present. Finalists for the Crystal Apple awards included CHS’s Chris Klair and Mark Koscielak, GOHS’s Jennifer Mosley and Steve Maxey as well as TVHS’s Chris Hamill and Steve Rapaport.

TVHS Senior, Colby Anderson, nominated winner Derek Heid.

“Mr. Heid helped me feel proud of who I am,” he said. “He helped me open up and become a more outgoing person and he has helped me get through some really tough trials through my life,” he said. “Through it all, he is my friend and he is someone I want standing by me.”

Heid, graduating from California State University at San Marcos, has been teaching English, drama, stagecraft and Shakespeare for seven years. He says that Colby Anderson is one of the most dedicated and enthusiastic students that he had this year.

“He is always ready to support others and make them feel welcome and necessary,” Heid said.

Heid says he teaches to give back.

“I am of the mind that, when you have a gift or an experience that puts you in a position to enrich others, it is your duty to do so,” he said.

For Heid winning the Crystal Apple award is very gratifying and also is a huge responsibility.

“I feel compelled more than ever to ensure that I am doing everything in my power to inspire my students to make choices regarding their education that are productive and good,” he said.

Great Oak High School junior, Rachel Sorge nominated Reuben Villar for the Crystal Apple award.

She explained that Villar gave her a

solid basis in Algebra II that helped her succeed in her other math classes, namely precalc and calculus.

“His classroom was always a positive environment where you could express yourself freely and not be judged,” she said. “He genuinely cared about us and made us feel important.”

Father of four and husband of Rebecca, Villar attended United States Naval Academy.

Teaching mathematics for 25 years, Villar estimates that he has taught around 5,000 students, Villar said he teaches to motivate students to reach their academic potential.

“It is incredibly satisfying when a student realizes that he or she can master a difficult concept or finally decides that they like math,” Villar said.

Villar said that it brings him great joy when he knows one of his students finally understands.

“I also enjoy preparing my students for what lies ahead by challenging them, guiding them, and encouraging them to persevere.”

Speaking of his nominator, he said, “Rachel Sorge was at the top of her class throughout the year as were her siblings, Jessica and James, who are former students of mine. Besides being strong students, the Sorge children happen to be among the nicest, most respectful students that I have ever had the pleasure of teaching.”

Villar said it was a great honor to receive the Crystal Apple award.

“It means more since it is coming

from those that I have dedicated my life career to serve, my students,” he said. “I am so grateful to the LDS Church and the students who nominated me for this honor.”

Chaparral High School Junior, Riley Hardy, nominated the Chaparral High School Crystal Apple winner Amie Charney. She said that Amie Charney was an amazing friend, council, teacher and is like a second mom to her.

“She welcomed me and made me feel like I’m a part of this school, a true Puma,” she said. “She taught me valuable lessons that I will take on my way into the adult world.”

Wife of Lt. Col. Michael Charney and mother of two, Charney said she teaches because it is what she has been called to do.

“I feel like I am here for a purpose beyond just classroom content. So many students are hurting today,” she said. “They come from broken families, they face unrelenting peer pressure, they have so much stress in their lives and it is a privileged to not just teach them but to show them that at least one adult in their life cares about them, as a person.

“The Crystal Apple award is extremely special because it is awarded by your students,” Charney said. “Most awards teachers win come from colleagues nominating you, so being recognized by the students you teach every day means so much more. Also it’s such a wonderful night of community, a time to celebrate our students and colleagues’ accomplishments.”

Perry receives degree from Concordia University, Nebraska SEWARD, NE – Nicole Perry of Menifee received her Bachelor of Science in Education at Concordia University, Nebraska’s 109th commencement Saturday, May 7.

The university awarded undergraduate or graduate degrees to 353 graduates. Graduates receiving a degree in December 2015, May 2016 or August 2016 were invited to participate in the ceremony.

Colonel Eric J. Teegerstrom of Firth, Nebraska, presented the commencement address, and Concordia presented additional honorary

awards and degrees.

In his commencement address, Teegerstrom compared life to a battle and shared four things that he says carried him through some of the toughest, most demanding times he has had: faith, family, education and tenacity.

“Faith is a plan,” said Teegerstrom. “Faith is a tangible thing you can hold onto. Faith in your God. Faith in yourselves. Faith in your comrades. You can see that, feel that each day, and it can inspire you to greatness.”

Angel View resale store announces new location TEMECULA – The Angel View resale store in Temecula has opened in a new location one minute from its prior site. The store now occupies 7,300 square feet in the Ace Hardware building at 30733 Temecula Parkway, at the rear of the shopping center between America’s Tire and In-N-Out Burger. The resale store is one of 20 Angel View operates in Riverside and San Bernardino counties that raise funds for its programs for children and adults with disabilities.

“What a difference one minute makes,” said Tracy Powers, general

manager of Angel View’s resale stores. “Our new location is 35 percent larger and affords space for furniture and mattresses along with our usual selection of family apparel, accessories, shoes, linens and housewares. And thanks to the generosity of local residents, all of those product categories have been expanded to take advantage of the continued growth in donations.”

The move was predicated by an inability to expand at the former location.

Located in the shopping center between Pechanga Parkway and

Jedediah Smith Road, hours of operation are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Sundays 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Donations of apparel, shoes, jewelry, accessories, books, household goods and furniture are accepted during operating hours.

In 2010, Angel View opened stores in Temecula and Murrieta as part of the organization’s expansion into western Riverside County. As the new stores matured and began to contribute to the funding stream for Angel View’s programs, a commitment was made to expand in the area.

Since then, new stores have opened in Wildomar and Lake Elsinore, the original Hemet store moved to a new site and an Angel View Clearance Center opened in the original location.

Each year, Angel View’s resale stores receive more than three million pounds of donated material that is then resold, reused or recycled. Proceeds from the sale of the donated items are used to provide a wide range of essential services to children and adults with disabilities who live in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

Founded in 1954, Angel View offers three primary services – 24hour residential care for children and adults with disabilities, a therapeutic Day Program for adults with developmental disabilities and Angel View Outreach, which provides free supports and services to local families struggling to raise children with disabilities.

City to purchase solar power creating a 10 percent savings on cost of electricity TEMECULA – The city of Temecula is pleased to announce the approval of a Solar Power Purchase Agreement with SMER Research 1, LLC, which will enable the city to purchase electrical power for various city facilities from the solar power generating facility developed in partnership with the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve. The cost of the electricity from this solar power generating facility to the city will

initially be approximately 10 percent less than the cost of electricity available to the city from Southern California Edison Company. As electricity rates increase over time the savings to the city will increase correspondingly.

The solar power generating facility will be constructed by SMER Research 1, LLC, as part of a long- term research and education program developed by San Diego State University, the owner

of the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve. The “Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve SOLAR Initiative Research Site” will be used to understand how renewable energy projects can be designed to maximize compatibility with watershed and ecosystem integrity. The site will also facilitate the restoration of approximately 20 acres of a eucalyptus grove, which poses a significant fire risk and invasive species problem at

the Reserve. In addition to the benefits to restoration, research and student education/training, the site also generates enough renewable energy to help provide significant cost savings to the city of Temecula.

Electricity will be generated by the collection of sunlight onto an array of photovoltaic cells on the ground. Sufficient electricity will be generated to serve several of the city of Temecula’s facilities.

The photovoltaic cells are similar to those now being used in home solar energy systems. The project is being constructed in coordination with Southern California Edison Company in accordance with programs established by the California Public Utilities Commission.

The city’s role in this project is only as a purchaser of electricity generated as part of this research initiative.

Program offers “ray of hope” for lagging avocado industry Tim O’Leary STAFF WRITER

A program aimed at softening the blow of costly irrigation system upgrades may bring relief for local avocado growers who are struggling to survive unrelenting surges in their water bills.

“It’s been very, very challenging to address these water issues,” Tom Bellamore, president of California Avocado Commission, told a group of growers at a May 17 workshop held in Fallbrook. “This may provide some ray of hope.”

The gathering attracted about 100 growers, grove managers, association officials and other participants to the forum that focused on a cost-sharing program launched by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.

The avocado industry, according to several workshop participants, is at a crucial juncture. The commission and local growers are fighting for survival, they said.

“People ask me that question all the time,” said Charlie Wolk, a large-scale grower who has logged two stints on the Fallbrook Public Utilities District that together total about 20 years. “The answer is the avocado industry is alive and well if you’re farming correctly. If you’re not, you’re going broke.”

Wolk, who spoke briefly to the audience, said he had waited until the forum to chart his foray into the use of high-tech equipment that determines precisely when to parse increasingly costly water to thirsty trees.

Wolk said there is no doubt that he will follow the trend that could mean the difference between sinking or staying afloat. Water bills represent 75 percent of his total production costs, he noted.

“It’s not probably. I will,” said Wolk, who has grown avocados for the past 40 years. He made the rounds among the eight equipment vendors that set up information booths at the event.

The vendors had taken advantage of the chance to pitch their products at the heart of a sprawling region that produces the most avocados in the nation.

Blessed by a climate in which temperatures rarely dip below freezing, the region takes in De Luz, Fallbrook, Rainbow, Bonsall, Valley Center and the Pala and Pauma valleys. Vast hillsides throughout the region are blanketed by the distinctive leafy trees.

The equipment, which can cost $10,000 or more depending on the size of the grove, covered a range of technologies that focus on irrigation efficiency, field management

and water treatment and chemistry.

One firm dubs its representatives “water doctors.” Another company calls its system the AquaSpy. Some of the gear is mounted on metal columns that connect to the Internet and are equipped with solar panels, wind gauges and other devices.

Metropolitan has launched a program that will pay half the cost to install such equipment in groves and other farming operations. The sprawling district provides wholesale water to about 19 million people over a 5,200-square-mile area that includes Riverside, San Diego and four other counties.

The “pay for performance” program will also rebate some of its users’ annual water costs for a period of 10 years. The goal is to create a mindset in which reducing water use is an everyday process rather than a drought-fueled crisis, said Brandon J. Goshi, Metropolitan’s manager of water policy and strategy.

Metropolitan expects to have sufficient revenues available to fund the program for two years or more, said Gary Tilkian, who oversees a Metropolitan regional supply unit.

It could be extended beyond that if sufficient funds are available, he said.

At least 12 growers from northern San Diego and southwest Riverside

County are among the 100 or so applicants who have been processed so far, Tilkian said. Another 80 applications are still in the review stage, he said.

Tim Spann, the commission’s research program director, said a Valley Center grower has already reduced his water use by 50 percent or more using the cutting-edge soil sensors and other technology.

“The trees are doing better,” Spann said of the 42-acre grove.

“They’re really responding and they’re using less water. He’s basically cut his irrigation in half.”

Commission and Metropolitan officials were pleased with the participation at the workshop, which was held at the Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens.

Bellamore offered a candid appraisal of the state of the industry after the presentations had ended and the event was winding down.

The double whammy of drought conditions and development pressures has squeezed growers in this region and throughout the state, he said.

“It almost goes grove by grove,” he said, noting that growers who can tap wells have a much higher survival rate.

“It’s been going down,” Bellamore said. “It’s tougher and tougher to stay in business.”

He said the commission is currently comprised of nearly 4,000 growers statewide. That reflects a drop of about 15 percent over the past five years, he said. The commission collects 2.3 percent of the gross product value of all commercial growers. In exchange, the organization markets the fruit, performs research and holds seminars, conferences and workshops.

The industry decline is also evident on the local level.

San Diego and Riverside counties generally rank among the top 15 in the state according to their total value of agricultural production.

Avocados were the fourth leading crop in terms of production value – $154 million at the last annual tally – in San Diego County. The fruit is the 10th most valuable crop in Riverside County at $35.3 million, according to the most recent report.

Yet both counties show dramatic declines in the number of acres planted.

San Diego County growers devoted 24,684 acres to avocado trees in 2009. That figure had dropped to 18,439 acres by 2014, the last year county crop reports are available.

Riverside County growers planted 7,733 acres in avocados in 2009.

That figure had dropped to 6,078 acres by 2014, according to that county’s annual crop report.

Rancho California Water District Receives the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting TEMECULA – Rancho California Water District (RCWD), for the 21st consecutive year, is presented with the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting Award bestowed by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada

(GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR).

The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government

and its management.

The CAFR was judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user

groups to read the CAFR. Bill Plummer, RCWD Board President commented, “Staff does an outstanding job and we appreciate all of their hard work.”

Jeff Armstrong, RCWD general manager, stated, “RCWD is honored to receive the certificate. We

continue to strive for excellence throughout the organization and the excellence in financial reporting follows that tradition.”

Armstrong credits the efforts of the finance department who collectively contributed to the preparation of the report.

Home improvement: DIY industrial pipe shelf system made easy Ashley Ludwig WRITER

When I start a Do It Yourself project, I usually mull for quite some time. That said, the DIY pipe shelving idea is not new. Adding industrial décor has been around for ages, and when done properly it can add a dimension to your home that inspires past recollection and hope for the future. That said, pipe shelving is the perfect storage solution for Coach Ludwig’s trophy wall.

Problem: The trophies are starting to pile their way into the master bedroom, and while I love the heart, soul and dedication behind each one, having trophies in my grown up adult bedroom, isn’t exactly the look I was going for in the new house.

Therefore, a niche in our master bedroom loft was the ideal location for the wall of glory. Coach will be able to see his treasured trophies,

and they will be out of the Zen space I am attempting to create in my room. Win, win.

Researching the perfect DIY industrial pipe shelves, the cost involved versus putting in a more traditional shelving system is not a deterrent. First of all, DIY pipe shelf projects are typically beginner level.

All that is involved is properly measuring your space, picking the right length pipes and deciding whether to spray paint the pieces or go more au natural with silver, black or even copper pipe systems.

Pinterest is full of DIY pipe shelving ideas, from ridiculously simple to complex and fantastic.

For a weekend project, the DIY pipe shelving that will work for my home was best told by a Home Depot blogger, Brandi of the blog, Don’t Disturb This Groove.

My reasons – the step-by-step tutorial is extensive, with images on

exactly what to buy, what size and type of pipe fitting for each section, how to find and place and properly install each piece and it looked like the fastest way to get this job accomplished for Coach before he returned home from work. I decided on four shelves of equal length, with a full board “table shelf” underneath to hide the cat’s storage area.

What I need for the space four DIY pipe shelves with three supports: • 12 – 3/4 -inch Flanges • 12 – 3/4 -inch x 10 or 12-inch steel nipples, depending on your project needs • 12 – 3/4 -inch caps for shelf supports • 1 box dry wall anchors • Four pine boards cut to size • Minwax stain for the boards *Rust-Oleum Spray paint – any color you like, as long as adheres to metal, for the pipes • Measure tape • Level The first step for the project is to measure your space and determine the depth of the pipe pieces that will work for you, as well as the length of the pine boards you need to stretch across each section. For the purpose of my shelves, we’ll be doing 58-inch long sections. If you are lucky, you can find vintage wood from somewhere like Vintage Timberworks, in Rainbow, California, or a vintage picker, such as Kristen Moffat, who collects odds and ends for DIY projects. Once you determine the look and length for your project it’s time to go shopping.

Home Depot was the place that had all of the plumbing pieces necessary for my fast and easy DIY pipe shelves. As an afterthought, I added dry wall anchors to add the “flanges” to the wall so that they wouldn’t

shift or fall due to the weight of the DIY pipe shelf that would hold all of the trophies yet to come.

Once purchased, each shelf needed to be stained to match the wood already in the room. In this case, it’s a golden oak right now. Later, it can be painted if we shift to all white, or whitewashed wood which is my grand plan for this space.

Don’t worry if the pipe that you found is not the color that you wish it to be. Simply use a cardboard box to inset each piece into, and then spray with your Rust-Oleum metal spray paint of choice. Allow paint long enough to dry. This step is only if you want to change the look of the pipes.

While you are waiting for your pieces to dry, measure out and level your shelf spacing. Measure your space both horizontally and verti-

cally, allowing a halfway point for the middle support pipe and flange pieces. Now is the time to mark out and pre-drill your dry wall anchors.

You will use four dry wall anchors for each flange. Overkill? I think not. Trophies are heavy.

Finally, screw together your pipe fitting pieces carefully, adding the end caps to each piece and then secure each section to the wall. The cap at the end of each pipe should be enough to keep the boards in place.

However, you can also secure pipe strapping or squish Museum Wax across the top of each pipe to further secure each one, and always should use Museum Wax to adhere heavy objects, trophy bottoms, etc., to the shelves for added protection from earthquakes. We do live in southern California, after all. At last, lay your boards across each one, creating the DIY industrial pipe shelf system of your dreams.

and green waste movement. Trees susceptible to one or more of these pests are found throughout most of the state, making it paramount that firewood not move outside of its local area.

Campers and homeowners looking for locally sourced wood can go to www.firewoodscout.org to identify where local firewood distributors are in a given area.

The site also offers information on invasive species of concern in California in addition to a set of questions consumers can ask firewood dealers to help assure the wood being purchased is low risk for invasive insects and diseases.

For more information on invasive species in California’s forests or the risks of moving firewood and the California Firewood Task Force, go to www.firewood. ca.gov or contact Katie Harrell at (510) 847-5482.

The California Firewood Task Force is a nonprofit subcommittee of the California Forest Pest Council. It is a coalition of agencies, organizations, and other stakeholders working to protect the

SACRAMENTO – Californians can help protect urban and wildland trees this summer by buying firewood local to where they will be using it and not moving it from one place to another. Invasive insects and diseases can hitchhike on firewood, spreading to new locations where they can further damage trees and native environments.

“Time and time again we see invasive species spread long distances as a result of firewood movement. This is something we can all help stop. Keeping firewood local is such an easy way for all of us to help do our part to protect our trees and the forests we love,” said Katie Harrell, California Firewood Task Force Chair.

Invasive species such as the goldspotted oak borer, shot hole borers, sudden oak death, and pitch canker are killing millions of trees in California, and all can move on firewood. Over the past year alone, the goldspotted oak borer, Kuroshio shot hole borer, and polyphagous shot hole borer have spread to new counties in southern California as a result of firewood

Real Estate / Home & Garden Cut costs at the grocery store TEMECULA – Parents know the cost of raising a family can be considerable. While some of the expenses associated with raising a family, including health care premiums, are largely beyond parents’ control, moms and dads can take steps to cut costs and start saving money.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2014 Annual Expenditure Survey, parents devoted about 8 percent of their family spending to groceries in 2013.

Families with more than two children no doubt spend even more on LIC #3

groceries, which may be stretching their budgets very thin. Fortunately, parents concerned about their grocery bills can employ various strategies to lower those bills and start saving more.

Never shop without first making a list. Modern grocery stores are much bigger than they might have been when today’s parents were growing up. While that might be more convenient by ensuring parents can find all their groceries under one roof, it also can lead to more impulse buys as shoppers stroll aisles and pass display after

display. After checking your pantry and refrigerator to determine what you have and what you might need, make a list before heading out for the grocery store. Such lists can help you avoid purchasing items you don’t need.

Keep the children at home.

Children have a knack for finding unhealthy snacks and beverages, and parents may cave to the temptation to purchase such items in an attempt to get youngsters to calm down. By keeping children at home while you grocery shop, you can limit distractions and get out of the store quickly. That reduces the likelihood that you will buy items you don’t need, which will save you time and money.

Grow your own herbs and vegetables. Cooking with herbs is a wonderful way to add flavor to any meal, and vegetables are an essential element of a healthy diet. While store-bought herbs and vegetables may not break the bank, over time the cost savings of growing your own herbs and vegetables can be considerable. And many people find gardening a relaxing and rewarding hobby they can enjoy on their own or with their children.

items that have been abandoned in your pantry. Few people, especially parents, wait until their pantries are completely empty to go grocery shopping. If your pantry is full, clean it out and place some of the older, unexpired items on the counter, resolving to use them for meals during the week. This is a great way to make use of items you already purchased but might have forgotten about while also ensuring your money is not going to waste.

Buy in bulk. Buying certain

items in bulk can save large families considerable amounts of money. For example, buying a 100-count box of garbage bags for $15 every few months at your local home improvement store is more financially savvy than purchasing a 10-count box of garbage bags for $5 every couple of weeks. Avoid buying perishable items in bulk, as you run the risk of not eating the items before they expire, negating any savings you might have realized by buying in bulk.

Homeowners who want to take care of their lawns and gardens in an eco-friendly way may want to consider composting.

TEMECULA – Many homeowners spend substantial amounts of time and money tending to their lawns. A lush lawn can be a point of pride for homeowners, and well-maintained landscapes also have a positive effect on property value.

Homeowners who want to take care of their lawns and gardens in an eco-friendly way may want to consider composting. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, food scraps and lawn waste make up about 20 to 30 percent of what we throw away each year. Composting such waste can enrich the soil in homeowners’ yards while also reducing the size of local landfills, where food scraps and lawn waste contribute to the production of methane, a potent and harmful greenhouse gas.

Composting is relatively simple and serves as a cost-effective way to enrich soil and suppress plant diseases and pest infestations.

Homeowners who want to try their hand at composting can consider the following advice from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Purchase the right tools. Composting is not expensive, but you will need a few tools to help maintain your compost pile. A pitchfork or square-point shovel will be necessary so you can periodically mix or turn the compost. In addition, a water hose with a spray head can help maintain the pile.

Choose the right spot. A compost pile or bin should be placed in a shady area close to a water source.

Shade will help ensure the pile does not dry out too quickly, especially for those homeowners who live in warmer climates. Those who live in colder regions may want to locate their piles in spots that get some sun exposure to trap some solar heat in their piles. Build the pile over lawn or soil instead of over surfaces like asphalt or concrete.

Add materials as you collect them. The Environmental Protection Agency notes that composting requires three basic ingredients; water, brown materials and green materials. Brown materials include dead branches, leaves and twigs, while greens include grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps and coffee grounds. Chop larger materials as necessary, adding both brown and green materials as you collect them and watering dry materials as necessary.

Bury fruit and vegetable waste.

When adding fruit and vegetable waste, bury it beneath 10 inches of compost material. You can do this by mixing your pile with your pitchfork or shovel.

If necessary, cover the top of your compost pile with a tarp so the pile can retain moisture. Compost may take as long as two years before it’s usable, but when materials are dark and rich in color, they’re ready to be spread.
