WWII veteran recalls D-Day fighting on 70th anniversary of invasion

A trip to the beach is an enjoyable way to spend a day. With warm waves lapping at your feet and a good book to enjoy, hours relaxing at the seaside tend to pass by quite quickly. While such days are often comfortable and relaxing, if you aren’t careful, you may be putting yourself at risk of sunburn and sun poisoning.

Kim Harris Special to the Valley News Bear in Mind: The Story of the California Grizzly, a new exhibit that has opened at the Temecula Valley Museum, is exploring the relationship that Californians have had with the grizzly over the years, according to museum manager Tracy Frick. “It’s really a very interesting exhibit,” said Frick. see page A-10 Wildomar resident Denver Sayre, 96, recalled his war experiences with the help of his wife Arvetta Sayre, 83.

Program aims to curb DUI-related accidents Dozens of area residents came to Shamrock Irish Pub in Murrieta not long after 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 22 to celebrate and enjoy free food as they supported the efforts of a local nonprofit to curtail the number of drunken drivers on the roadway. The restaurant was serving up free appetizers and drinks to individuals who agreed to be the driver for people they were with as part of a designated driver program.

On the 70th anniversary of D-Day, there’s a local veteran that Temecula Valley residents can thank for bravely serving in the invasion that helped Allied forces win World War II. Denver Sayre of Wildomar is 96 and has failing memory, but he can still recall parts of the June 6, 1944 invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France. “We landed on Utah Beach and then worked our way in from there,” he said. He was a forward observer in the Army’s 4th Infantry Division. His job was scouting for Germans with two other soldiers and directing artillery fire at them. “I’d give them locations where they (Germans) were,” he said. Sayre would climb hills and when he located Germans, he’d relay their positions by radio to

Residents of Temecula and the surrounding communities felt the effects of wildfires that swept through San Diego County recently when smoke settled into the area prompting officials to issue an air quality warning due to unhealthful conditions. The warning, issued shortly before 11 a.m. on Friday, May 16 by South Coast Air Quality Management District, stated that smoke from the fires created unhealthful conditions, especially for people medically compromised. Residents of the area were told to avoid any vigorous outdoor or indoor exertion, to keep windows and doors closed and to run air conditioning if it was available. The fires were just the beginning of what CAL FIRE officials are referring to as an extremely active fire season. “Fire Season really never ended last year in many parts of California,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL

The program was created by Tiffany’s Gift, an organization that provides local children with scholarships. The organization also seeks to inform members of the public of the dangers of driving any vehicle or vessel while under the influence of alcohol. Murrieta residents Debbie and Mike Breslin started the nonprofit in memory of their daughter Tiffany, who sustained a major brain injury when she was struck by a boat while sitting on the Breslin family sea-doo on a portion of the Colorado River. She died shortly

thereafter. Breslin said she was motivated to advocate for drug and alcohol awareness not long after starting the organization, and that she felt it was particularly important to talk to high school-aged adolescents because of the prevalence of substance abuse among their age group. “I think a lot of drinking and stuff like that starts with younger kids in high school and junior high,” Breslin said. “There’s a lot

Hard News Driver of truck falls asleep behind the wheel, sideswipes oncoming vehicles LAKE ELSINORE – A motorist dozed off behind the wheel of a pickup truck, which crossed into opposing traffic and sideswiped two oncoming vehicles in Lake Elsinore, a sergeant said on May 31. Dispatchers received a call at 5:30 p.m. Saturday and sent sheriff’s deputies to the corner of Riverside Dr. and Collier Ave. Deputies learned the driver of a Chevrolet Silverado truck fell asleep while traveling south on Riverside Dr., and it crossed over the other side, Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Chad Loeffler said.

Eight Temecula businesses refuse to sell alcohol to underage individuals during decoy operation

The pickup struck a silver Infiniti G20 sedan and a black Ford F150 pickup truck on the northbound side of Riverside Dr. The drivers of both vehicles suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital for treatment, Loeffler said. The driver’s name was not disclosed, and it was not disclosed if the sleepy driver was cited or arrested. Alcohol or drugs are not believed to have played a role in the incident, Loeffler said. Riverside Dr. was shut off to traffic between Collier Ave. to Gunnerson St. for more than two hours.

Police cite store clerk for selling alcohol to underage decoy PERRIS – One store clerk was cited for allegedly selling liquor to an undercover decoy during a sting operation in Perris, a sergeant said on June 1. Sheriff’s deputies targeted 12 businesses throughout the city to see whether shopkeepers are complying with laws that prohibit

the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors, Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Ken Zunker said. One business, Haz-it Market on Nuevo Rd., was cited when a store clerk was caught selling liquor to a decoy. The clerk faces a fine or community service hours for the violation, Zunker said.

spokeswoman Jody Hagemann. “The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene,” she said. There was no immediate indication whether the pedestrian was male or female. The California Highway Patrol was investigating the death, Hagemann said.

Officers from the Temecula Police Department had undercover minor decoys visit eight area businesses to purchase alcohol and all of those businesses refused to serve the undercover individuals, according to a sheriff’s official. The undercover decoy operation was facilitated in a partnership between Temecula Police Department’s Problem Oriented Policing Team (POP) and California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Agents, according

RIVERSIDE – A former Inland Empire law enforcement officer who used his authority to compel prostitutes to provide him with sexual favors was convicted on May 28 of federal charges. Jose Jesus Perez, 46, of Menifee could face life in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 18 by U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips. Following a week long trial, a Riverside jury found Perez guilty of two felony counts and one misdemeanor count of deprivation of rights under color of law, as well as sentence-enhancing allegations that the offenses involved aggravated sexual abuse, kidnapping and great bodily injury. Jurors acquitted Perez of a related misdemeanor.

JURUPA VALLEY – A man robbed a motorist of his cell phone at a Denny’s restaurant and ran into the backyard of a Jurupa Valley home, and was caught by a sheriff’s deputy who shot at him, a spokesman said on May 31. Sheriff ’s deputies were dispatched at 6:07 p.m. Saturday to the parking lot of the eatery in the 6800 block of Valley Way, where the victim said he was robbed while he sat in his car. Simultaneously, a man matching the description from the victim was spotted running away, Riverside County sheriff’s Cpl. Robert Martinez said. Deputies chased after the suspect, later identified as Rolando Soto, 28, of Fontana, to the back-

The operation was funded by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the defendant coerced three prostitutes to perform sex acts while he was on duty with the San Bernardino Police Department. Perez was fired from the agency in December 2012, and about eight months later, was indicted by a federal grand jury. In April 2011, Perez forced a woman to perform oral sex on him while he groped her, according to prosecutors. The assault happened in the defendant’s patrol car, while Perez was in uniform and armed, according to the indictment. A second prostitute alleged that she had several encounters with the defendant in August 2011. According to court papers, the thenpoliceman demanded that she have

sex with him, emphasizing that he would make her life difficult otherwise. She complied, accompanying Perez to a motel. A third woman told investigators that the defendant repeatedly harassed her while he was on duty, insisting that she have intercourse with him. “The three women each testified that they feared repercussions if they did not comply with Perez’s demands,” according to a U.S. Attorney’s Office statement. Perez transferred to the San Bernardino Police Department in 2008, following an 11-year career with the Los Angeles Police Department. The FBI and SBPD jointly investigated the case.

to a Riverside County Sheriff’s report. The undercover decoy operation was aimed at reducing the availability of alcoholic beverages to minors in the community. That’s in part because evidence indicates that individuals under the age of 21 are far more likely to get into fatal drunken driving than their adult counterparts, according to Sgt. Chris Gaskins. In his report, Gaskins congratulated the eight businesses for their judgment to not sell alcohol to underage individuals. Those businesses were:

Dozens of Temecula Valley Unified School District teachers stood in solidarity against a proposed contract offer they deemed unfair during a rally that started shortly before 4:30 p.m. on Monday, June 2 at the Temecula Valley Duck Pond. Cars driving down Ynez and Rancho California roads honked their horns in support of the teachers who waved signs like “support your students,” and “fair settlement.” The issue was over a proposed contract that teachers rejected earlier this year. The contract would give teachers a one percent retroactive salary increase through January of 2014 and a three percent retroactive salary increase for the 2014-2015 school year. Many teachers cited frustration over the proposal because teachers at Murrieta Valley High School District – which they say receives a very similar amount of funding – recently negotiated for a four percent retroactive raise for the same time period this year. Jeff Kingsberg, president elect of the Temecula Valley Educators Association, said many teachers were also concerned over the fact that salary increases were being tied with class sizes. In order to receive the pay raise of three percent for the 2014-2015 school year, teachers would have to agree with a clause that would increase class sizes within the elementary schools. The normal student to teacher ratio for students in kindergarten as well as students in the first, second and third grades has been 24 to 1. The pay increase, if accepted by the teachers, would result in class sizes of 26 to 1 for students in kindergarten and 28 to 1 for students in first through third grades. “We didn’t like that our salaries are being tied to that,” Kingsberg said. “We believe those are separate issues.” Some teachers said they felt the increase of classes sizes would negate the approval of proposition 30, which the majority of California voters approved in 2012. The bill sought to provide schools with increased funding to restore services and even complete such functions as reducing class size. By approving the pay raise, some teachers said they felt they would be negating the proposition and changing what the voters stood for. The proposal was struck down by a majority within the union, with 64 percent of teachers voting “no” on it last week. And Monday’s rally has not been the only way that teachers have voiced their opposition to the proposed salary increase. TVEA members were seen picketing in front of all three of the city’s comprehensive high schools in their pursuit of what they consider to be a more fair settlement. For some teachers the issue is deeper than this year’s proposal and it spans the past seven years. Over that timespan TVUSD teachers have not received a Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) increase and have gone without pay on the district’s furlough days, according to Temecula Elementary teacher Nancy Reza. “This is about the district taking teachers seriously and actu-

Local FESTIVAL from page A-1 “The weather actually has been nice, the bands up on the stage have been awesome and the people we’ve met have been really nice.” Lorenzi may have been a new face at the event, but Matt Russell of Lorimar Winery has been there for nearly a decade. He used to visit before he worked at Lorimar and has continued to visit as a manager for several of the winery’s departments. Russell was serving up a number of different varietals alongside his fellow Lorimar pourers that included a White Merlot, Sweet Rosé, Allegro (a combination of Merlot and Petite Syrah), and a fusion wine between 100 year old vines of Zinfandel from Rancho Cucamonga and Petitie Syrah from Lodi. Russell said it’s been a unique experience to see the event from year to year because of how much it’s grown. “The sheer size is impressive,” Russell said. “There were just a

couple booths and just a couple of no-name bands when I first started to come here and now you’ve got big names on the main stage and booths for as far as you can see.” “I think as wine country starts to expand you’re going to see this thing just start to take off,” he said. The bands playing on each night of the event always elicited crowds. The first night featured a number of country singers before Justin Moore took the stage at 8:30 p.m. On Saturday, the Gin Blossoms and 3 Doors Down rocked out before a crowd that consisted of thousands of spectators. Those spectators packed the space before the amphitheater, which was dubbed the “Pechanga Main Stage.” Sunday offered something different, as Jimmy Fitzpatrick and other members of the Metal Mulisha did stunts and tricks before a captivated audience. The event seemed to draw in people from parts of Riverside County near and far, and many of the individuals who visited the

MSJC board approves purchase contract for Wildomar property WILDOMAR – The Mt. San Jacinto College Board approved the acquisition of land in Wildomar during its regular meeting on May 8. The 80.32-acre parcel of vacant land is located on Clinton Keith Rd. between Interstates 15 and 215. The district has had an option on the land since May 1, 2003, when it reached an agreement with the Riverside County Regional Park and Open Space District. In recent negotiations, the college district and the park district agreed to a total purchase price of $2.6 million. The college district will receive a credit in the amount of $175,000 for the deposit it made as part of the option agreement. The final purchase price will be $2,455,000. The MSJC 2000-2005 Educational Master Plan set goals for campus development that include facilities to serve the growing communities of southwest Riverside County. The 2004-2009 and 20092016 Educational Master Plans supported this goal. This purchase contract is the first step in a three-year process that the college must follow before it can make the final purchase. During the May 8 meeting, the board heard from Academic Senate President Lorraine Slattery-Farrell that the Academic Excellence Committee recommended the advancement of the following faculty members from Associate Professor to Professor: Dr. Denise Dalaimo, professor of sociology, and Erik

Ozolins, professor of anthropology. Dr. Kathleen Winston, Dean of Nursing and Allied Health, introduced a number of nursing students who shared the successes of the program. The highlights included the following. The program has received $1.7 million in grants since 2010; the state nursing test pass rate went from 88 percent in 2010 to 96 percent in 2014; SWANS (Southwest Association of Nursing Students) have clocked 5,000 community service hours. Anthony Fernandez, a nursing student who is also in the Army Reserves, said that priority enrollment for veterans allowed him to get the classes he needed right away and he will graduate from the program in December 2014. “It’s pretty fantastic for military veterans,” Fernandez told the board about his experience at MSJC. On Thursday, May 15, the board held a special work session to discuss the feasibility of a bond and the district’s facilities needs. Catherine Lew, from the Oaklandbased consulting firm The Lew Edwards Group, returned to discuss the survey conducted earlier this year that showed there is very high support across the district for a facilities bond. Lew and a host of other presenters discussed possible ballot language and cost of a potential bond. If voters approved a bond, they would pay less than $25 a year per $100,000 of a property’s assessed value: a $295 million bond

The board has not yet made a decision to place a bond measure on the ballot. On Tuesday, May 20, the board held a special work session to discuss the feasibility of a bond and the district’s facilities needs. The board reviewed potential ballot language in the event the board approves moving forward with a bond measure. The board will review updated potential bond language during a meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. on June 26 in Room 200 at the San Jacinto Campus and linked to Room 851 on the Menifee Valley Campus. The MSJC Board of Trustees routinely holds two meetings in June for budget approval and other year-end items, but determined that it needed only one meeting in June this year.

Local VETERAN from page A-1 artillery. He said his job wasn’t too dangerous. “Actually, it wasn’t that bad because the Germans weren’t paying attention. Seeing someone standing up on a hill, I think they didn’t understand what we were doing,” he said. “They probably didn’t know we were directing artillery at them.” As he spoke about his war experiences, his wife Arvetta Sayre, 83, assisted him with details that he couldn’t remember. She said he suffers from dementia and diabetes, is legally blind, and recently had gallbladder surgery that caused a blood clot in his right leg. “I almost lost him,” Arvetta Sayre said. The couple has been married 41 years and it’s a second marriage for both of them. Together they have seven children, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Arvetta Sayre said they were married for over 25 years before her husband talked to her about the war. Like many veterans, he didn’t like talking about it. However, that changed when he began attending reunions of the 4th Infantry Division in 1998. “He’s told me about what he saw,” Arvetta Sayre said. “It’s a lot of horrible things.” With encouragement from his family, Denver Sayre wrote his life story and war experiences about five years ago before dementia set in. His wife made books with the stories for each of their children. Denver Sayre’s stepdaughter Shawna Snyder, 60, contacted former Palomar College history professor Dr. Linda Dudik in San Marcos about his stories. She wanted Dudlik to preserve them on her website www.wwiiexperience.com. DUI from page A-1 of alcohol and drug abuse in those areas and I feel like those kids need to know about it more and have more information at their hands.” That’s why she started “Think First” – an extension of the nonprofit that talks to high schools and junior high schools about the dangers associated with drinking and drug abuse and how people within that age group can help curb accidents related to those habits. It was with that same purpose in mind that Breslin started another

Dudik visited Denver Sayre and viewed his war memorabilia. She was amazed by what he had saved. She has since posted his stories on her website and is asking people to send him thank you cards for his service. “With articles on the 70th anniversary of D-Day in the news come early June, people will want to thank Americans who were part of it,” Dudik said. “Because Denver lives in your area, they have one such man

they can say that ‘thank you’ to. He can represent so many others who are no longer with us.” Denver Sayre was awarded a Bronze Star for his service on D-Day. “Everybody there deserved a Bronze Star,” he commented. “We were all doing the same thing.” He wasn’t wounded during the war though he also saw heavy combat in the Hurtgen Forest Campaign and the Battle of the Bulge. Arvetta Sayre joked that her short

program, the Designated Driver Program. She immediately received support from the owners of Shamrock when she explained that she wanted to lower the number of DUI-related accidents by encouraging people to make smart choices. The program would encourage people to be the designated driver for their group or party by giving them free sodas and an appetizer in exchange for their promise that they’re not going to drink and drive. Participating restaurants would provide their wait staff with buttons encouraging customers to ask about

the program, thereby ensuring that a greater number of individuals knew about the program and its purpose. For right now the program is limited to the Shamrock Irish Pub, but Breslin said she’s hoping it will soon spread to other restaurants since it’s the first program of its kind to reach this area. Murrieta Police Chief Sean Hadden was in attendance at the event in support of Breslin and her program. He was also at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce meeting and said he was impressed with the program and its intended purpose.

Denver Sayre was a forward observer for the Army during WWII. He used a radio to relay the Germans’ positions so artillery could be fired on them.

husband wasn’t wounded because Germans thought that all Americans were six feet tall so they shot over his head. She said he’s always been teased about his 5’, 1” height, but doesn’t mind. Denver Sayre was drafted on October 30, 1941 as a private and was honorably discharged on September 11, 1945 as a private first class. He

has no regrets about being in the war. “I didn’t complain about it. I just knew it was our duty,” he said. Dudik said that thank you cards can be sent to Denver Sayre at 22764 Valley Vista Circle, Wildomar, CA 92595.

Hadden said that drunken driving is still a noticeable problem for Southwest Riverside. “When I was a teenager in the 1980s MADD was just starting to get the word out about the dangers of drunk driving,” Hadden said. “And now we’re talking 30 years later and it’s still a huge problem for our area.” But the police chief said that while drunken driving statistics indicate a continual and persistent problem for Murrieta and other communities, programs like Breslin’s stand to make a positive

impact and serve as another tool for mitigating the number of alcoholrelated incidents. Breslin said she certainly hopes that’s the case. “We’re just kind of hoping that it puts the thought in the back of peoples’ heads when they go out and have fun,” she said. “I’m not opposed to people drinking; I just want them to be responsible so that we can cut the DUI’s in this area.”

Local OPINION

Temecula marches with millions against Monsanto PT Rothschild Special to the Valley News On Saturday, May 24 Temecula once again joined the global day of protest against Monsanto, voted to be the world’s most evil corporation by a 53 percent margin. Label GMO activists gathered at the Temecula Duck Pond to march through to Old Town’s City Hall plaza in an effort to drive home the message about Monsanto to tourists with flyers. The crowd was upbeat and passionate, made up of various age demographics, but as with crowds around the world it was the children who stole your heart with their participation in perfect weather. Cars rolled by and horns honked as drivers who are familiar with this end-of-times food fight taking place in public view showed support. This growing support recently shown by states Hawaii and Vermont are

FIRE from page A-1 FIRE director. “We continue to have very dry conditions and experience unusually early fire behavior that is extreme for this time of year.” Drought conditions, low humidity and strong Santa Ana Winds created the perfect storm as nine fires broke out across San Diego County. More than 27,000 acres and dozens of homes were lost as the fires raced through the hills in San Marcos, on Camp Pendleton, through Carlsbad and across the hills along I-15 near Deer Springs Rd. While Temecula and the surrounding areas were spared from any wildfires during the outbreak, the fires were a grim reminder of the dangers that exist due to the ongoing drought. “It is unseasonable for us to see fires like we did in San Diego County just a few days ago,” said Captain Lucas Spellman with CAL FIRE Riverside. “Back in 1976-77 we had a drought that is equal to this time, then in 1978 we had a very bad fire season. As you know, history repeats itself so we are just looking at the fuels the way they

are, acting like they are at the end of the fire season instead of the beginning. You can imagine how bad they will be come September, October and November when the Santa Ana winds really kick in. It’s going to be so much worse because the fuel is just so dry right now.” According to the state’s final snow survey on May 1 the statewide snowpack water content is only 18 percent of normal. Since January CAL FIRE has responded to over 1,200 wildfires, nearly triple the number of fires in the same time period in 2013 and more than double the average year for the same time period. The average is fewer than 600 wildfires according to a press release issued by the agency. CAL FIRE is reminding Californians that when it comes to wildfires, to remember “Ready, Set, Go!” Being ready for a wildfire starts by maintaining 100 feet of defensible space and hardening homes with fire resistant building materials. “If you don’t prepare your structure with defensible space it makes it very hard for us to fight the fire, especially when there is a fire in the wildland urban interface areas

or those areas up in the foothills where the roads are narrower. The properties are larger and there is a lot more brush and fuel around the house,” Spellman said, noting if homes are fire ready with no nearby fuel, a home can virtually defend itself. “If you have done your due diligence by cleaning up it becomes easier for us to defend your property.” Pimlott said with this year’s drought it is absolutely critical that residents be prepared for wildfires by ensuring they have 100 feet of defensible space around their homes. “Most wildfires are preventable and we need residents and vacationers to be extra cautious outdoors because one less spark means one less wildfire,” Pimlott said. As part of the Ready, Set, Go program people should have their belongings together and be ready to evacuate should the order be issued so that teams can respond and residents can get out safely. “A lot of times people wait until the very last minute to leave their home,” said Spellman. “Then the fire engines are using the same exact streets and roads that the

In those times it’s very important that they are ready, set and when it’s time to go, they go.” Homeowners looking for additional information on how to prepare themselves, their families

and their homes for wildfire can visit www.ReadyForWildfire.org. The site offers tips for residents to make their homes more resistant to wildfires and to ensure that their families are ready to evacuate early and safely when a wildfire strikes.

CAL FIRE recommends homeowners do the following to keep homes safe from wildfires: * Remove all dead grass, plants, leaves, pine needles and weeds from your yard and roof tops. * Create horizontal spacing between trees and shrubs, trim trees regularly to keep a minimum 10 feet of space between them and create spacing between them and items that could catch fire such as patio furniture or swing sets. * Remove dead branches that hang over the roofs of homes and outbuildings. Keep 10 feet between branches and chimneys. * Remove or prune flammable shrubs near windows. * Remove vegetation and items that could catch fire from around and under decks. * Relocate woodpiles at least 30 feet from residences and outbuildings unless they are completely covered in fire resistant material. * Keep lawn heights down to a maximum of four inches. * Mow before 10 a.m., but not if it is windy or dry.

Tips for selling your house quickly

Mike Mason, John Occhi Special to the Valley News Read along and prepare yourself with these tips for selling your house quickly and you’ll be in escrow before you have to mow the lawn again. Of course, you’ll have to prepare yourself, your family and your home if you want to sell your house fast. To accomplish this, there are two very basic rules that you should follow early in the process of preparing to sell your house. The first rule is to find a seller’s agent that you trust and like. Selling your house fast requires teamwork and communication. Don’t let anyone hustle you with pie-in-thesky promises they can’t deliver. You need to interview three highly regarded agents in your community before making a decision. Realize that the real estate agent you hire is a professional with a wealth of market knowledge, professional contacts and years of experience – all valuable resources who will be selling your house quickly, for the most money, with the least amount of stress to you and your family. If they are a true professional they won’t have an issue with your careful consideration of

the valuable information they have shared with you. The second rule is to listen to your REALTOR®. Sure, you know your home but he knows how to sell your house. Remember, you chose your agent because he was the best and you like him, now you must trust your REALTOR®. Since we have agreed that you will both trust and listen to your agent, even if you start to feel as if your agent is now becoming tripe or counterintuitive, if he says you should paint a room or the whole house it is because he is looking at the big picture. If your agent suggests you lower your price, then lower the price. You can get more by asking for less. Many professional Realtors® find that sellers have a universal set of obstacles to overcome which is counterproductive when they plead, “Sell my house quickly!” Learn from these examples.

is much more likely to sell your house quickly and for more money than one priced at the very top of the market. Sure, many sellers believe they want room to negotiate and that if there is no action in a few weeks they can always come down in price. The problem is that when you start high and lower the price, rarely do you get fair market value and even rarer that you’ll ever get to the number that you’ll get by starting low and letting anxious buyers bring the value up. Then the sellers end up blaming the agent and ask why they can’t sell their house. The best place to start is slightly below the lowest, most recent comp. Price your home too high and you’ll do nothing but scare off buyers. When offers do come in, they’ll be low-ball offers anticipating your pain and eagerness to move. This is not how to sell a house.

Price it right to sell your house fast In the competitive world or real estate, many agents believe that in order to obtain the listing they should always go in pushing the envelope to convince the sellers that they are such great agents that they will get the highest possible price. Hogwash. Let the market set the price and sell your house. You are much better off starting with a lower asking price than a higher one. A value that is set slightly (1 to 3 percent) below the market value

Be different to sell your home fast Sure, every REALTOR® who wants to sell your home has a pitch that includes all of the latest gadgetry and electronic gizmos to tell the world about your home. There is no doubt in this day and age that some of it is a necessity. In today’s internet society, the home buyer public has access to information – too much information at times. Not everyone who reads MLS data fully understands what they are reading, regardless of how a third party website massages it and presents it. This information overload actually slows down the process as home buyers often feel the need to “go back” and research this and that. Many top agents will agree keeping it simple is better. See if the agents you interview might have some “old school” real estate sales techniques up his sleeve that can make your listing stand out from the crowd.

Home repairs can help sell your home fast While a well maintained home will always appeal more to a home buyer than a shabby home that has not been taken care of in years, home renovations are not always the cure-all to selling your house quickly.

Courtesy image

Rarely does the cost of a home renovation ever get recovered by the home seller, yet almost every seller tells every REALTOR® who will listen to them how they spent $25,000 on this project and $10,000 on that one and so their home has to be worth at least $35,000 more than the neighbors down the street who have never done anything to improve their house. Sure a coat of paint and new carpet take care of many obstacles to a prospective buyer but all it does is maintain the status quo. It’s better to have the fresh and new because that’s what the buyers expect – they won’t necessarily give you more. However, they won’t be kicking the tires either saying “there is so much work to be done” to justify the lowball offer they presented. It all makes a difference Don’t interpret this article as the simple three-step process of selling

your house quickly as the be-all to end-all magic bullet that will sell your home in a week, it’s not. However, stray from these guidelines and you just may find yourself revisiting this article in a month or two down the road, scratching your head wondering why “selling my house quickly” was such a foreign concept.

TALL for You!

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

RIVERSIDE – Recently, there have been reports of a man in the Southwest Riverside County area, calling on agents with homes listed in the MLS that are reported to have combo lockboxes on the home. The man introduces himself as a local agent and gives the valid CalBRE license number of that same agent. Please be aware that

If something doesn’t seem safe or doesn’t feel right, find a way out. SRCAR® highly recommends the use of Supra Lockboxes for added protection for you and your clients.

Sealing a driveway can extend its life INLAND EMPIRE – Installing an asphalt or a concrete driveway can be an expensive undertaking. To preserve the fresh, new look of the driveway, have the driveway sealed and then routinely seal it to keep it looking pristine. A good sealant can keep a driveway looking new longer and also can rejuvenate the appearance of an older driveway. Sealant can be compared to car wax. It provides an outer coating that will repel stains, stop UV rays from fading the driveway and help to protect against cracks and driveway degradation. Over time, asphalt driveways will begin to fade in color and the stone and rocks used in the asphalt mix will appear more prominent. By sealing the driveway, a homeowner can maintain its original dark color. Another reason to seal a driveway is to reduce the chance of freeze-thaw damage. This type of damage results when water pen-

etrates the surface of the driveway and then expands as it freezes. The expansion can cause cracks and fissures, as well as compromise the soil underneath the driveway, making it sink or become unstable. Sealed driveways help to keep water beading on the surface of the driveway, rather than being absorbed into the driveway material. When water no longer beads on the driveway, this is often an indicator that the driveway needs to be resealed. There are some guidelines to follow when sealing driveways. When starting, sealant should not be applied immediately after the driveway is poured. Concrete needs to cure for a period of up to one month before sealant should be applied. Fresh asphalt contains oils that eventually evaporate. The oils are what makes fresh asphalt pliable and soft. Once these oils evaporate, the asphalt gets harder and more durable. Sealers can prevent evaporation and may make

the asphalt permanently soft. After the initial base application of sealant, the driveway should only be sealed every two to three years, depending on its condition. Sealants are just coatings, and adding too many layers can cause the sealant coatings to crack and peel away. Sealing a driveway is a laborintensive process that’s best left to professionals. These professionals have the knowledge of technique and the right tools to get an even, thin coating of sealant. Remember, a driveway should not be walked or driven on for a minimum of 24 hours after sealant is applied. Weather conditions also can influence the amount of time it takes for the driveway to cure. Having the driveway sealed prolongs its durability and appearance. It also can make the driveway less prone to staining and cracking, making this project a sound investment.

New exhibit tells story of California icon Kim Harris Special to the Valley News Bear in Mind: The Story of the California Grizzly, a new exhibit that has opened at the Temecula Valley Museum, is exploring the relationship that Californians have had with the grizzly over the years, according to museum manager Tracy Frick. “It’s really a very interesting exhibit,” said Frick. “It talks about the grizzly bear in California and how the grizzly bear was a symbol of strength and power in California and the pioneer spirit. It’s ironic that the grizzly bear has disappeared because of that strength and power and pioneer spirit. They were all throughout California.” The museum is always looking for exhibits that touch on California’s and Temecula’s colorful history, Frick said. “This exhibit really meets that criterion,” she said. Although now extinct in the state, the grizzly has long been a central character in California’s history. The grizzly possessed many characteristics that we hold dear including independence, adaptability, resourcefulness, intelligence, and strong maternal care, according to a press release issued by the museum. “Yet, human interaction with

the bears was misguided, intolerant, and violent,” the release states. Scientists estimate that 10,000 grizzlies once lived in California, perhaps the densest population of brown bears on the continent. However, through increased human settlement, loss of habitat, and hunting, by the early 1900s the California grizzly had vanished and could only be seen on the state flag. Although the loss of the California grizzly was a tragic lesson, Frick said she hopes that the exhibit will serve to remind people that we are not too late to save other threatened and endangered species. “I hope people are mindful about the impact on our state as we grow. We are having an impact on our environment and there are very good ways to manage that,” she said. “This exhibit is very powerful and reminds us that it is important to manage.” There is an area for both adults and for children to explore and learn the history of this symbol of things desired. Frick said noting the museum wants children to really experience the exhibit and not just look through glass. “It shows children the importance of this as well,” she said. “Children can compare their size to that of the average grizzly bear and they can touch the fake paws of the

bear and there is a map that illustrates how many grizzly bears there were throughout California and by time period how many people there were versus how many bears there were. It takes you through modern times when there was only one bear left and of course now, there are no more grizzly bears in California, and that is a shame.” The exhibit, which is on display

through Friday, July 13, is produced and toured by the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA). The exhibition was developed in concert with The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley and Heyday Books. It was supported by the William Randolph Hearst Foundation with additional funds from the Bank of the West. The Temecula Valley Museum

in Sam Hicks Monument Park is located at 28314 Mercedes Street, one block east of Front Street in Old Town Temecula. For more information call the museum at (951) 6946450 or visit the museum Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Yoga at the beach class to benefit foster children at Rancho Damacitas Laura Rathbun Special to the Valley News A yoga class at Carlsbad State Beach on June 7 aims to benefit the bodies of its participants as well as the lives of foster children in Temecula. Yoga instructor Susiana Lechiara of Murrieta is teaching the onehour morning class for free, but asking participants to make a donation if they wish to Rancho Damacitas Children’s Homes. She’s raising funds for the organization because she loves children and wants to help ones in foster care. People interested in attending the class can meet Lechiara at 8:30 a.m. in front of 24 Hour Fitness in Temecula and carpool to the beach. She said participants should bring a beach towel, sunglasses, walking shoes, water and sandwiches. “Yoga at the beach is a fun, fun class for all,” Lechiara said. “It’s open to anybody. It’s a family event.” She used to offer monthly yoga classes at the beach from May to October, but stopped last year to devote more time to Collective Scents, a handmade soy candle and natural products business that she and her husband launched in 2012. “Our online business took off

and running it requires tremendous energy,” Lechiara explained. She plans on having an annual Yoga at the Beach class starting this year. Lechiara, originally from Java Island, Indonesia, has been practicing yoga for over 20 years. She developed an interest in it when she met an Indian yoga teacher in 1989. She studied with the teacher for a while, but stopped when she became too busy with work and children to attend classes. In 2004, Lechiara moved from Long Beach

to Temecula and then to Murrieta in 2009. “When my children and I moved to Temecula, I saw the opportunity to learn yoga well enough to teach it,” she said. “I have been a teacher since 2006 and love it.” She’s certified through Yoga Fit and the Arthritis Foundation and has taught at several fitness organizations, including 24 Hour Fitness, Sweat Cardio & Yoga, Power Pro Fitness and Isvara Yoga. She also taught for the City of Murrieta at

its library and is currently teaching free classes at the Sun City Library. She offers private lessons as well. Lechiara, who only admits to being over 45, has offered classes at the Sun City Library for about a year. She usually has five to 15 students in the classes and teaches them gentle yoga, which is good for beginners. The classes at the library are at 11 a.m. on the first and third Thursdays of each month. The most immediate benefit of yoga is stress relief, according to Lechiara. Students tell her that they are calmer after class and sleep better. “It helps with their sciatica, strengthens them, and they’re more tuned in with their inner being. Some also mentioned that after taking it a few years on a regular basis, certain emotional blocks are opened up,” she said. “Yoga uplifts our emotions and helps a lot with movement, openings, balance and more.” “The results from students are immense,” she added. “I love to see and experience their growth from inside out.” Murrieta resident Joan McClafferty, 44, recently took her second yoga class with Lechiara at Isvara Yoga in Murrieta and said that she likes it. She can’t attend the beach class this year due to other commitments but hopes to next year. Lechiara believes that yoga is her way to give to others in the community. “It is important to give and keep on giving,” she said. For more information on Lechiara’s yoga clas s es , con tact her at (310) 401-3433. To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

TVHS Golden Bears advance to 2014 Ford CIF-SS Division 2 baseball semifinals Temecula Valley’s Garrett and Kemp lead Golden Bears to victory

Temecula Valley first baseman Alex Garrett ties the game with a double. Alex would drive in both runs as the Golden Bears advance to the CIF Div 2 semi-finals with a 2-1 victory over Dana Hills Friday afternoon, May 30.

Brandon Koch picks up the win tossing 6.2 innings allowing just two hits and one run while striking out five for the Golden Bears.

Catcher Nick Juhl shows the ball after tagging out a runner at the plate on a throw from Kyle Plantier to keep the game tied 1-1.

Mitch Kemp rounds third and scores the winning run after a base hit from Alex Garrett in the bottom of the seventh inning. Temecula Valley beat Dana Hills 2-1.

Charles Mckee Sports Writer Seniors Alec Garrett and Mitch Kemp led the Golden Bears past Dana Hills in dramatic style last Friday, May 30 as they combined for both runs in the 2-1 walk off win. The victory advances Temecula

Valley to the 2014 Ford CIF SS Division 1 baseball semifinal game against Valencia on Tuesday, June 3. Brandon Koch started for the Golden Bears and went six and two third innings striking out six giving up a run on three hits before being relieved in the seventh by closer Jared Morton.

Morton took care of the only batter he faced and would pick up the victory when the Golden Bears struck in the seventh and final inning. Kemp led off the seventh with a single and was advanced to second on a well executed sacrifice by Samari Buchanan. Garret followed

with a single and his second RBI of the game to win it for the Golden Bears. Kemp and Garrett had teamed up earlier in the game when Kemp singled in the second inning. Garrett promptly doubled Kemp home for Temecula Valley’s first run of the game.

The Golden Bears improve to 22-8 on the season and move on to the semifinal game of the 2014 Ford CIF-SS Division 2 baseball playoffs against Valencia. The Tigers are 27-0 and eliminated Vista Murrieta in round two of the playoffs. They are coming off an impressive 8-2 victory over Cresenta Valley.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer “Congratulations to the first-ever recipient of the Mayor’s Trophy and Temecula City Champions, the Great Oak Wolfpack!” proclaimed Mayor Maryann Edwards as she handed the trophy to team captain and Player of the Game, Miranda Schulz. Edwards, whose twin daughters and son had graduated from Temecula Valley High School, consoled the runner-up Golden Bears saying, “If we had one more quarter.

. .” She also congratulated all who participated for their school spirit and sportsmanship. The event was sponsored by Nutrishop Temecula and the perpetual trophy was provided by Valley News Sports. Great Oak, 8 – Chaparral, 0 Chaparral took on Great Oak in the first game. “Our girls are into week 15 of practice,” said Chaparral Head Coach Fawwaz Lawal, “and I’m 100 percent confident that my girls will give it their all and our coaches will prove why they’re the right

ones I picked.” Despite great running by Chaparral’s Lorena Ruiz and Stephanie Martinez, the Lady Pumas were unable to put together a sustained drive against the Wolfpack’s 2-5 defense and great linebacker play. A key interception by Mallory DeAvila ended Chap’s first drive, giving Great Oak the ball on their 21-yard line. Great Oak drove down to the Chaparral nine on a 41-yard run by Shulz and a 34-yard catch/run by Abby Welch. The Puma defense stiffened and denied Great Oak four

times, sending the teams into the break in a scoreless tie. Chaparral’s LeAnn Monidero intercepted Shulz’ pass at mid-field to stop Great Oak on their first possession of the second half. Great Oak’s defense forced a turnover on downs; Chap’s defense held Great Oak and forced a “punt.” On the second play of Chap’s next possession, Great Oak safety Hannah McConnell tipped the pass attempt and cornerback Adrianna Carrillo made the pick, sprinted 20 yards, juked a defender and scored. Schulz converted the PAT with a

QB keeper to the right. DeAvila had her second pick of the night on Chap’s next possession. The game ended 8-0, Great Oak. “The girls have been working hard for months,” said Great Oak Defensive Coordinator Matt Hobby. “We called a blitz on that interception play, Hannah went after the ball, and Adrianna was alert enough to make the pick and made a nice run. Our defense made the difference in this game.”

Business

Avoid post-disaster scam artists Jason Alderman Special to the Valley News Have you ever turned on the light in a dark basement and shuddered as cockroaches scurried away? I get that same sense of revulsion whenever I hear about unscrupulous swindlers taking advantage of the victims of natural and manmade disasters. The Better Business Bureau has dubbed these human cockroaches “Storm Chasers” because they creep out of the woodwork after every major storm or disaster. In fact, because fraud was so widespread after Hurricane Katrina, the Department of Justice created the National Center for Disaster Fraud, a central information clearinghouse for more than 20 federal agencies where people can report suspected fraudulent activities tied to disasters of all types. One common scam is where supposed repair workers blitz impacted neighborhoods, hoping to ensnare frazzled homeowners. Their typical line is, “We’re really slammed but with a cash deposit you can ensure a spot on our busy schedule.” Or, they’ll scare people into thinking their home is dangerously unsafe, sometimes actually creating damage during their “inspection.” Often, these Storm Chasers just take the money and run. Or, if they do show up and make repairs,

Budget lays foundation for the future, encourages economic development LAKE ELSINORE – On Tuesday, May 27 the Lake Elsinore City Council held a special study session to review and discuss the city’s preliminary fiscal year 20142015 operating budget and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) that will go before the city council for formal approval on June 10. The proposals presented to the city council included a general fund operating budget of approximately $35.9 million for fiscal year 2014-2015 and a CIP of $18.4 million. While still recovering from the economic downturn, the city did see increases in its sales and property tax revenues of three and eight percent, respectively. The city expects these numbers to increase in the coming years. A common theme for both proposals is the city’s interest in allocating resources to prepare for future growth with planned expenditures for several master plans, fee studies and critical first steps for future road improvements. “The City of Lake Elsinore is the fastest growing city in the state, and we expect this trend to continue,” said Mayor Natasha Johnson. “Our budget is focused on meeting the needs of our community today while investing in our future by laying the foundation to ensure responsible and positive

development within our city.” Some of the new projects proposed as part of the CIP included $4.4 million for several local Interstate 15 interchange projects within the city. The projects include the addition of a deceleration lane on the southbound off-ramp for Railroad Canyon Rd., the first phase of the ultimate Railroad Canyon Interchange project and funding for preliminary analysis and studies of the Hwy 74/Central Ave. and Main St. interchange areas to get ahead of future transportation needs in the city. Other key projects announced included a new traffic signal at Riverside Dr./Hwy 74 and Grand Ave., turn pocket changes on Railroad Canyon Rd. and repaving of Gunnerson Ave. In addition, the general fund operating budget proposes funding for several new or updated planning activities that will facilitate growth, economic development and investment in the city including updating the East Lake Specific Plan, a new Drainage Master Plan, a Facilities Master Plan, Nexus Studies, a Parks Master Plan Update and an Alignment Study of two high growth areas in the city. While the city once again will

reinvest a portion of its available resources to balance the budget, the uncertainty reserve remained at 17.5 percent and staff is currently working on a five-year financial plan to set expectations and ensure the financial sustainability of the city in the years to come. The budget was developed through a highly collaborative and comprehensive review process among the city’s departments and the Budget Subcommittee, which includes Mayor Natasha Johnson, Councilmember Bob Magee and City Treasurer Allen Baldwin. “This year, our focus has been on redesigning our fiscal year budget to make it more transparent and easier to understand,” said City Manager Grant Yates. “This is the first step to ensuring the longterm financial health and sets us on the right path to better prepare for and provide the services and projects needed as the community grows.” Currently, the city council approves the budget annually and expects the addition of a comprehensive five-year plan sometime later this year. Following Tuesday’s study session, staff will prepare to present the budget to the City Council for final approval and adoption at the next city council meeting on June 10.

their work or materials are shoddy. This could leave you on the hook financially since your homeowners insurance probably won’t cover unauthorized or fraudulent repairs. Here are a few tips from the Better Business Bureau to avoid becoming a Storm Chaser victim. * Ask your insurance company about what’s covered under your policy and specific filing requirements. Also ask them to survey the damage and see whether they have approved contractors. * Never hire a laborer or contractor on the spot. Get at least three estimates based on the same specifications and materials. Check their references, licensing and registration information with the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (www.nascla. org/licensing_information); also read reviews posted by the Better Business Bureau. * Require written contracts that specify work to be done, materials to be used, start and end dates, responsibility for hauling away debris, and costs broken down by labor and materials. Verify that the contractor’s name, address, phone number and license number are included, as well as any verbal promises and warranties. * Read the fine print. Some shady contracts include clauses allowing substantial cancellation fees if you choose not to use the contractor

after your insurance company has approved the claim. Others require you to pay the full price if you cancel after the cancellation period has expired. * Ask your contractor to provide proof of current insurance that covers workers compensation benefits, property damage and personal liability. * You’ll probably be asked to pay an upfront deposit to cover initial materials – one-quarter to one-third is reasonable upon delivery of materials to your home and once work begins. * Never pay in full in advance, and don’t pay cash. Have the contract specify a schedule for releasing payments, and before making the final payment, ask the contractor to provide proof that all subcontractors have been paid – if not, you could be liable for their fees. And finally, remember the adage, “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” If someone uses highpressure sales tactics, requires full payment upfront, asks you to get necessary permits or offers to shave costs by using leftover materials from another job – run. They’re potentially disastrous to your bottom line – and you’ve been through one disaster already. Jason Alderman directs Visa’s financial education programs.

It pays to graduate

Higher education enrollment rates on the rise INLAND EMPIRE – Graduation ceremonies and other events that mark the end of a school year are rife with tradition. Students know it is important to receive their diplomas but may not have a full understanding of why that piece of paper can help open so many doors. Diplomas date back to some of the earliest schools, but were also conferred upon land owners in ancient times by kings and other authority figures. Some military personnel were also given diplomas to signal land grants that were not subject to taxes. Nowadays diplomas take on a different meaning and vary depending on where one lives in the world. Graduates who complete a specific course of study are issued diplomas. Diplomas were once written on Italian sheepskin. Although “diploma” translates to “folded papers,” paper was not always an economically viable medium for diplomas. In fact, animal skins were used as recently as the 1950s. Receiving a degree or diploma can be a point of pride in families where older members may not have had the same educational opportunities as younger members. Many people move to North America for the educational opportunities, and a diploma can symbolize taking advantage of those opportunities. According to the organization Do Something, roughly 20 percent of first-time college students come from parents who have a high school diploma or less. The United States Department of Education says high school graduation rates have increased since the 2006-2007 school year. Around 80 percent of students who enter high school now earn a regular or advanced diploma. Dropout rates are on the decline, and a growing number of high school students continue on to two- or four-year degrees. In Canada, numbers are quite similar. Canada is second only to the United States in the high school completion rate of its working-age population. Statistics Canada says that enrollment in

Canadian universities continues to increase. Enrollments are now approximately 5 percent larger than they were just a few years ago. Community colleges are benefiting from this influx of students. Various statistics from the 2010-2011 year point to more than eight million American students enrolled in community colleges at that time. Community colleges enable students t o t a k e c o re curriculum credits at a less expensive institution and then move on to a fouryear school later on to expand on their coursework. This presents a viable option to students who are looking to keep education costs manageable. The reason so many students continue to apply themselves and come out after four or more years with diplomas and degrees is that they realize how competitive the job market can be. Graduates have a distinct advantage over other candidates. Some companies will not even consider a job candidate who does not possess some college education. Other employers pay more depending on the level of education the job candidates completed. According to the United States Department of Labor, employees with a bachelor’s degree earn about 54 percent more on average than those who attended college but didn’t finish. Workers with advanced degrees (master’s, doctoral, etc.) can average $20,000 to $30,000 more per year than those with bachelor’s degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Some students, however, will insist that failure to have a diploma isn’t a barrier to success. For example, Richard Branson, the billionaire entrepreneur who owns Virgin Group, did not graduate high school. But such people are an aberration. Typically, earning a high school diploma and a bachelor’s degree is a key ingredient to landing a good job and enjoying professional success.

Great Oak celebrates 9th consecutive Southwestern League golf championship Wolfpack undefeated in 2014 league play Charles McKee Sports Writer The Great Oak boys golf team was simply unbeatable this season as the Wolfpack dominated the Southwestern League and finished the season with an unblemished 10-0 record. Great Oak has ruled the league since 2006 and has won the CIF SS Championships four times. They captured their first CIF Title in 2009, repeated in 2010, and the Wolfpack won two in a row in 2012 and 2013. This year’s team consisted of Chris Fallone, Tim Davis, Parker Whitehead, Patrick Furlong, Cody Ives, Kendel Hodges, Haoyuan Li, Ryan McCoy, Erick Liscio and Chip Davis. Sophomore Hodges and freshman McCoy tied first in the Southwestern League championships with two round scores of 148. Hodges would win the championship with a birdie on the first playoff hole. Liscio was third and Whitehead also finished in the top

called Athletes In Motion. I have trained athletes from all sports and ages in the Temecula and Murrieta area for the past 10 years and would therefore like to share some knowledge on how to prepare student-athletes. Over the past decade our valley has made quite a name for itself. The Southwestern League is highly competitive in every sport and multiple CIF championships have been won by a great deal of our local schools. Every coach and athlete knows if they want to compete in the Southwestern League they will be required to put a lot of time into strength and conditioning throughout their careers. With success comes attention. Our athletes are earning more Division 1 scholarships and signing more big league contracts simply because more scouts come to watch our players and the level of play has really put our schools on the radar screens of many recruiters. When I ﬁrst started my company back in 2004 there were not a lot of sports performance companies in our valley. I started off with a few clients which turned into landing a few teams and I eventually became busy enough where I was able to hire a few trainers and work with athletes on a full time basis. The main reason I am writing this article is to help educate the parents and athletes in this valley about what they should look for in a sports performance coach. It is the hope of all of my trainers that every athlete will seek out and participate in safe and effective training, even if it’s not with our company. Parents and athletes should be proactive when searching for strength and conditioning coaches and need to be equipped with the right knowledge and questions. At first, I knew very little about words like speciﬁcity, energy systems, progressive overload, volume, intensity, and many other vital variables needed for a well rounded training program. The ability to motivate and inspire athletes to train hard is something I knew I could do and that is the most crucial component any strength and conditioning coach must have. Being able to connect with the athlete and have the ability to keep the athlete on track and focused on their training goals is so important.

Starting the first weekend in June, Athletes in Motion will host classes and camps for athletes of all ages. Contact Tate Hess via email at thess.aim@gmail.com or Ryan Tukua at ryantukua@gmail.com for more information.

A coach can have the greatest training program in the world but if they lack the ability to connect all is lost. There was no doubt I was getting results with my athletes early on, granted I was not an expert and still to this day I am not an expert, but the basic drills I was doing and the passion I was developing was making my athletes better. During this time I also received my B.S. in kinesiology with an emphasis in strength and conditioning. Earning a degree like the one I have does not automatically make you a strength coach, but it gave me the foundational knowledge and science to how to build an athlete correctly. Overall, when picking a trainer make sure there is a connection and make sure the coach you are considering is properly educated and trained. I see a lot of trainers bypass the multiple year commitment a degree requires and attempt to fast track earning a training certificate in a few weekends. Something else that separates strength and conditioning coaches from trainers is a CSCS or a NSCA certificate. These certificates can only be earned if you already have a kinesiology degree and from experience are ten times harder than any weekend training certification out there. Training companies have sold this idea that the harder you work the better. Their athletes are drenched with sweat, use bad form because of fatigue, and training the wrong energy system all because the public think “if it’s really hard then it must be really good.” Over the next year I plan on releasing more articles that will focus on various training topics that parents and athlete should be aware of. Again, the sole purpose of this article is to help educate parents and athletes about sport specific training. I truly believe we should always be learning and after the next few articles hopefully you will have the knowledge to find a great coach for your child.

WOLFPACK, from page B-1 Temecula Valley, 10 – Chaparral, 8 “We are honored to be playing for the first City championship trophy,” said Temecula Valley Head Coach Garrison Flores. “The girls have been working hard and we are prepared for both teams.” “After that last game, our girls understand what it takes to win the game,” said Chaparral Coach Lawall. “TV is our cross-town rival and this should be a good game.” The Lady Golden Bears opened with consecutive first downs on a 15-yard sweeps by Nicole Robertson and Lorena Regalado and were threatening to score, but the Lady Pumas’ defense forced a turnover on downs at the four-yard line. TV’s Sophie Rivera then pulled Ruiz’ flag in the end zone for a safety and a 2-0 Temecula Valley lead. Regalado scored on the Golden Bears’ next possession catching a swing pass and zig-zagging 20 yards past defenders. QB Sam Capuzzi kept the ball for the PAT to give Temecula Valley a 10-0 lead. TV and Chap traded the ball on turnovers on downs. Kaitlin Williams intercepted Chaparral’s drive at the end of the first half. Chaparral got on the scoreboard with 55.9 seconds left in the game on a five-yard pass to Sahori Gomez; Lorena Ruiz caught another pass for the successful PAT, to close the gap to 10-8. “We wanted to play it safe this game,” said Flores. “Props to the defense for the safety – that won the game for us.” Great Oak, 8 – Temecula Valley, 6 “We’re going to use every play in the play book,” said TVHS Head Coach Flores. “Our defense will have to contend with their speed at receivers, running back and their very versa-

tile and talented quarterback,” said Great Oak Head Coach Anthony Bandong. “But we have good linebackers and an exceptional secondary. Our offensive game plan has changed dramatically from when they scouted us last and we have a few tricks up our sleeve.” Indeed, the Wolfpack ran inside reverses, counters, double reverses, the statue of liberty play, as well as the “swinging gate.” Great Oak’s first possession featured a double wing formation with runs by receiver-turnedquarterback Shulz as well as running backs Hana Papaco, Haleigh Kincaid, and Lauren Patterson. Receiver Hailey Strode was also used on a double reverse. Temecula Valley’s defense gave up one first down, but forced a Great Oak punt. Great Oak’s defense returned the favor with a three-and-out. Welch gained 12 yards on a screen pass. The drive stalled. McConnell swatted down a Capuzzi pass to the middle, but Capuzzi awed the crowd with a beautiful 45-yard deep spiral that was dropped just behind the Great Oak secondary. Nicole Robertson broke numerous tackles on a twenty-yard pick-up for a first down, but the half ended 0-0. Great Oak’s second play of the half was a statue of liberty play, Kincaid was short of the first down. After an unsuccessful attempt at a hard count on fourth down, GOHS “punted” giving TVHS the ball at the 21-yd line. TVHS attempted a halfback pass by Robertson, but McConnell intercepted the ball and returned it to the 23. Patterson took a straight hand-off twenty-two yards to the one-yard line to set up a Great Oak score by Schulz on a QB sneak. Schulz also scored the PAT to make the score 8-0. “After Lauren got us one yard away, Coach Bandong told me to just get the ball over the line,” said Schulz, “so I just dove across, not knowing I wasn’t supposed to do

that.” An offensive pass interference call on Temecula Valley ended a two-first down drive (13 yards by Tori Gonzalez and 10 yards by Martinez) and TVHS gave up the ball on downs at the 45. The TVHS defense then forced GOHS to “punt” giving TVHS the ball at the 26. With less than three minutes left, Temecula Valley took to the air, completing a slant pass for a first down. A swing pass to Gonzalez netted 25 more yards and another first down. A QB keeper by Capuzzi brought the ball down to the 30. A deep pass to Julia Cavazzos put the ball down at the one-yard line with one minute left in the game. Capuzzi scored on her second attempt with 50 seconds left on the clock. TVHS had gone 79 yards in nine plays for the score. “It was heart-throbbing,” said Coach Flores, “one of the greatest drives.” Capuzzi’s attempt to turn the left corner for the PAT was stopped by Hailey Strode in the backfield. “Redemption is the best!” exclaimed Strode. “I felt like the TD was my fault. It was so close.” If TV had converted the PAT to tie the game, they would have won the Temecula City Championship with a two-point advantage in overall points scored. Great Oak beat Temecula Valley 8-6 for the Temecula City Championship, their first win ever in seven years of the contest. “It was a tremendous effort by all of our girls who sacrificed many hours of practice to get us to this point,” said Coach Bandong. “I am so proud of all of them and it is a great way to cap off an awesome senior year. We hope following Great Oak classes can continue the tradition we have started here.” To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Outdoor restaurant dining tips

Restaurant patios can add to the ambiance of your meal.

“Dining out” takes on an entirely new meaning in temperate climates or when summer arrives. Rather than being cooped up inside for meals, diners flock to cafes and restaurants that boast al fresco seating to enjoy a bit of scenery and fresh air with their meals. When the sun comes out and the breezes are warm, blooming gardens and trellis-covered restaurant patios can be ideal dining spots to grab a meal. Good food combined with a hearty dose of fresh air can make everything from a cappuccino to a hamburger taste better. considering the best outdoordining spots can fill up quickly, and enjoying a meal outside takes a bit of finesse, follow these tips to make the most of any outdoordining experience. • Make a reservation. Outdoor seating is not always easy to get. To ensure you will have a spot at your favorite restaurant, call ahead and reserve a table. Otherwise, you may have to wait quite a while for a table to become available or be forced to sit inside.

• Scout out restaurants beforehand. If you are hoping to try a new restaurant that boasts outdoor dining, plan a visit to see the layout of the space. many restaurants, even those without ample outdoor space, cater to the outdoor-seating crowd, even if their outdoor dining area is limited to a handful of cafe tables placed near the curb. Unless you want to spend your meal with pedestrians walking by or inhaling car exhaust fumes, visit the restaurant ahead of time to ensure that the outdoor seating is more amenable to an enjoyable meal. • Choose restaurants with overhead coverage. It is one thing to want to eat outdoors, and entirely another to be subjected to the wrath of mother Nature. An outdoor seating area should be comfortable, offering the best blend of fresh air and ample protection from the elements. Umbrellas or a covered patio can provide shelter should it start to drizzle or you need relief from the summer sun. • Don’t assume an outdoor restaurant is pet-friendly. Just because there are outdoor tables

does not mean you can bring your pooch along. If you will be spending the day with your dog and then want to enjoy a lunch or dinner outdoors with your pet, verify that a restaurant is pet-friendly before meal time. Do not leave a dog unattended in a hot car and waiting for you to finish a meal should you discover the restaurant is not pet-friendly. • Expect some uninvited guests. Dining outside means bees, flies, birds, and other animals. Those who are deathly afraid of all buzzing insects may want to eat indoors instead. • Check for a dedicated outdoor waitstaff. Unless there is a waitstaff assigned to outdoor seating, you may spend more time than you anticipated waiting for service outdoors. Waiters may not realize you are outside, and it can be easy to forget about patrons who are not seated in the heart of the restaurant. Restaurants accustomed to serving guests outdoors will have staff assigned to outdoor seating areas, particularly during busy times of the day.

Billy is an entertainer extraordinaire, capable of throwing down a blues show that can be infectiously hilarious. His energy as a frontman is relentless, his vocals inspiring, and his harp work musically outstanding. Billy’s repertoire ranges from creepy grooves, grinding shuffles, to fast boogies and swings. Yet audiences do not flock to his shows simply for his mastery of the harmonica... they are drawn by his magnetic stage personality and the idea of never knowing what antic may be next! Blues music was created by people looking for a way to forget their “blues” by telling their stories through song. Billy’s show reminds modern audiences that blues music can be lowdown, but that in the end it’s all about having some fun, dancing, and forgetting about your worries. Billy Watson is also an artist. Since 1988,Watson has installed over fifty art shows in coffee shops, hair salons, and restaurants throughout the San Diego area. His creativity and versatility is evidenced by a variety of mediums ranging from watercolors and pastels to socio-

political assemblages and hand painted model airplanes. many local art patrons have admired his work, having purchased over two hundred pieces. With an interactive flair, Watson’s work evokes responses ranging from praise to laughter to vandalism and theft. Upon receiving a bachelor’s of fine arts in graphic design from the School of Visual Arts in New York city, Watson decided to travel west to experience the lifestyle of Southern california. Finding random work painting surfboards, fabricating signs, and life guarding, Watson eventually got the blues. Now driven by this internal ghost, Watson fronts his own show. It is a harmonica blues show that focuses on creating a humorous and entertaining experience for the live viewer while also paying tribute to the legends that created the music. Billy will be performing a free show on Saturday, June 21 at Wilson creek Winery from noon to 4 pm. Wilson creek Winery is located at 35960 Rancho california Road in Temecula.

Explore the best of the best carnival foods

Funnel cakes, a staple at fairs, are fried dough dusted with powdered sugar. Courtesy photos

Certain foods are indulgent staples of fair and carnival season.

ummer is a time of year when empty parking lots or fields get transformed into magical places of wonder. When the carnival comes to town, once barren spaces are filled with blinking lights and the hum of mechanical rides that treat thrill seekers to a whirling dervish of excitement. Cheers, jeers and game attendants can be heard, and the savory aroma of fried delights wafts in the breeze. Traveling fairs and carnivals are hallmarks of late spring and summer. Comprised of vendors, games of chance, amusement rides, and more, these events attract scores of spectators. Historians believe the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair served as a catalyst for the creation of traveling carnivals. After the World’s Fair closed, traveling carnival companies began to tour the United States and abroad. The idea of mobile carnivals may have also been made trendy by the popularity of amusement areas like Coney Island and Atlantic City. Although the rides and attractions certainly entice their share of carnival visitors, for many the unique culinary offerings available

at fairs and carnivals are a big attraction as well. At carnivals, many people indulge in foods that are best enjoyed sparingly, such as fried foods, sticky sweets and meats on a stick. The following are some of the more popular fair foods.

“Foods served on sticks, including corn dogs, are a staple of carnivals because of their portability.” Cotton candy Cotton candy is a treat many people only eat at carnivals or fairs. A form of spun sugar mixed with air to produce a large volume of sticky sweet cotton, cotton candy was invented by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton in 1897. It was

subsequently introduced to the public at the 1904 World’s Fair as “Fairy Floss.” Automatic cotton candy machines help make cotton candy available to market at carnivals and fairs around the world. Eat it quickly because cotton candy melts and gets messy under the hot sun. Corn dogs Foods served on sticks, including corn dogs, are a staple of carnivals because of their portability. Corn dogs are formed by dipping a hot dog into a cornmeal batter and frying it. Many credit Carl and Neil Fletcher with the first “corny dog,” served at the State Fair of Texas in 1942. Those who enjoy hot dogs and the crunch of an outer coating flock to concession stands for these salty delights. Funnel cakes What would a carnival be without some variation of fried dough? From Spanish churros to Italian zeppoles to regular doughnuts, there is something to be said about sweetened, chewy dough fried to form a crunchy outer shell. When dusted with powdered sugar, the

confection is complete. Funnel cakes are a type of fried dough regularly sold at fairs across North America. Although the history of funnel cakes is debatable, popular opinion states they were made popular by German immigrants in Pennsylvania. Funnel cakes were once formed by pouring batter through a funnel into a hot pan of oil. Now it is usually done by pouring batter from a pitcher or through an automatic machine. Kettle corn Although popcorn is a popular fair food, so is its sweetened cousin, kettle corn. Kettle corn was first introduced in the early 1700s by European immigrant farmers. Corn was popped in large castiron pots filled with lard rendered from farm hogs. The corn popped quite quickly in the kettles and sweeteners like sugar or honey were added to the popped corn. Modern kettle corn is made in much the same way, using corn, oil, sugar, and salt. Use of sugar produces a sweet crust on the popping corn. Constant stirring is required, or the sugar will burn in the kettle.

Carnivals, street fairs and feasts are popular attractions when the weather warms up. They’re heralded not only for their rides and games of chance but also for their indulgent foods.

Sun poisoning, sunburns linked to accelerated skin aging and skin cancer range of symptoms that can affect the skin and body as a whole. Sun poisoning can occur when one has a sun allergy, called solar urticaria. This is very rare. However, the greatest number of sun poisoning cases are simply a severe form of sunburn. Depending on the pigmentation of a person’s skin and the severity of the sun, sunburn can occur in mere minutes. Many people can get a sunburn within 15 minutes of being in the sun. The sun’s rays are most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., making the majority of the day a prime time for skin damage. Although sunburn can occur

INLAND EMPIRE – A trip to the beach is an enjoyable way to spend a day. With warm waves lapping at your feet and a good book to enjoy, hours relaxing at the seaside tend to pass by quite quickly. While such days are often comfortable and relaxing, if you aren’t careful, you may be putting yourself at risk of sunburn and sun poisoning. Sunburns are never a good thing, but sun poisoning can be even more severe and the symptoms can become quite serious and uncomfortable. Despite what the term “sun poisoning” implies, the sun does not poison the body. Rather, the term describes sensitivity to sunlight that results in a wide

quite quickly, many people do not realize anything has occurred right away. That’s because sunburn symptoms can be delayed. It may take a few hours for redness to appear and discomfort to set in. Staying in the sun too long without wearing adequate protection, whether it be a wide-brimmed hat, protective clothing or ample amounts of sunblock, can lead to sunburn. Over time, sunburn can progress to sun poisoning. Symptoms of sun poisoning include a severe sunburn accompanied by blisters on the skin. Pain and tingling may occur, as well as swelling where the sun touched the body intensely. Sun poisoning also may cause fever and chills, nausea, dizziness, and dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, as the body’s immune system attempts to kick into action. The best treatment for sun poisoning is prevention. Avoid blazing sun whenever possible and use sunblock and reapply frequently if you must be out in the sun for any duration of time. Otherwise, some cases of sun poisoning can be relieved with the application of cool compresses or by taking cool (not cold) baths. Application of aloe gels also can alleviate discomfort, in addition to taking a pain relieving NSAID pill. If at any point a fever occurs

and spikes to more than 104 F, or if there is extreme pain and vomiting, head to the emergency room. Doctors may have to quickly reduce swelling and inflammation and administer fluids intravenously to get the body back on track. Keep in mind that blisters from sun poisoning can get infected, so it is advisable to keep the skin clean and avoid picking at or popping blisters. Discuss any concerns about severe sunburn with a doctor. Frequent sunburns can be linked to accelerated skin aging and can put a person at a higher risk for skin cancer.

Paul Bandong Staff Writer This year, three Valley News interns shared the 2014 Dr. Brown Scholarship for Outstanding Journalism Intern: Hannah Whitley from Elsinore High School and Shayan Vahdati and Andrea Henthorn from Great Oak High School. The three were part of the Valley News high school intern program that provides aspiring journalism students opportunities to learn and grow as they cover, write (and sometimes photograph) articles for the local community paper and specialty magazines. These articles included local events, sports, and special features. The three students distinguished themselves among their peers with their style, professionalism, and dedication.

Home & Garden

Healthy & Beautiful Gardens The herb garden Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Special to the Valley News I thought this would be a fun garden topic for everybody, because let’s face it, don’t we all use herbs in one form or another fairly regularly? So why not grow them yourself, that way you know they’re fresh, organic, priced right and ready when you are. There are many different ways to grow herbs in your garden. You can grow many of them in pots, such as chives, parsley, smaller rosemary varieties, basil, etc. Make sure the pot is a fairly good sized one so you do not have to water it every single day. Most herbs do fine in full sun but some like a little shade. Mint is an herb that I definitely recommend growing in a pot – otherwise it will be all over your garden in no time. It prefers semishade. It’s great for making teas, and of course, mint juleps! Chives are great in salads, baked potatoes, etc. but they too will freely seed and pop up everywhere so a pot is a good idea with them, and keep cutting the flowers heads off, that’s where your seeds are. Basil is an herb I personally can’t live without. I grow tomatoes so basil is the perfect complement to fresh tomatoes – there are many varieties, try one of each! “Purple Ruffles” is beautiful, “Greek Columnar” has tiny leaves, great taste, does well in pots, as does “Thai” basil with beautiful purple flowers. “Genova” is a classic with large crinkled leaves and “Sweet Basil” is another favorite. Keep dead

heading as the flower spikes shoot up to prolong the leaves growing. Sage (Salvia) is a beautiful plant in the garden, drought tolerant, as well as being a useful herb. Berggarten Sage and Golden Sage are favorites of mine and you can plant them right out in the garden border or bed with other plants. It fits in perfectly. Make sure you purchase an edible sage and not an ornamental salvia. Parsley is a “bi-ennial”, that is, it lives for two years only, first year it grows, second year it sets seed. I prefer the “flat leaf” or “Italian” variety and among all its other culinary uses, it’s great in green smoothies and very healthy for you. Some other herbs that not only look and smell good but grow easily and have many uses are French tarragon (fantastic on fish!), oregano (no pizza complete with out it!), and rosemary (check the variety – some get quite large, others stay smaller, great on chicken, potatoes, just about anything, and drought tolerant as a bonus). Try “Majorca Pink” if you can find it and thyme – many varieties out there, I grow “Common Thyme” and its in full bloom right now, the bees are loving it! Lemon balm, Chamomile, Lemon verbena, Spearmint, these are all great herbs to make tea with, hot or iced, or just great additions to your brewed black or green tea. Cilantro is another herb that I personally like, some people tell me they definitely do not like its taste, so either you like it or you hate it. Either way, it “bolts” early,

You can grow your herbs in their own beds, design a traditional herb garden, or grow some in pots as seen here. Courtesy photo

so re-plant every few weeks if you do like the taste as I do. It is great in Mexican dishes, I think it’s essential actually. As to growing arrangements, most herbs need well draining soil if in ground. If in pots, make sure they don’t dry out. Sage and Rosemary are two herbs that are fairly drought tolerant and they both do well in the landscape. Some con-

Prevent litter box problems

case the primary one is blocked. It may seem tempting to try to mask litter box odor by using scented litter or placing an air freshener nearby. But this smell may actually repel the cat and force it to relieve itself elsewhere. Use unscented litter and then sprinkle baking soda inside the box to help absorb odors. Baking soda should not offend the cat. According to the Humane Society of America, research has shown that many cats prefer fine-grained litters because they have a softer feel. Clumping litters may be preferable to clay litters. Picky cats who resist commercial litters may like sand. Once a litter material is found that the cat likes, stick with it. The primary way to prevent litter box odors is to keep the litter box clean. If the odor offends you, it is likely it will offend the cat, too.

Clean the litter box of waste at least once a day, replace the litter twice a week, and at least once a week remove everything and wash the box down with warm, soapy water. Make sure there is plenty of ventilation around the litter box so that odors will not build and fester. Treat your cat to a new litter box once per year. Over time, a cat may scratch its litter box, creating small crevices where bacteria can thrive. This may make odors worse, and the box could be more difficult to clean. Think about donating the used litter box to an animal shelter. Cat owners don’t have to put up with litter box odor and soiling around the house. Maintenance and finding the right location and litter material go a long way toward having a happy, well-behaved cat.

Late spring a good time to clean out the fireplace

Pets INLAND EMPIRE – Cats make great companion animals, as they’re relatively self-sufficient and do not require large backyards in which to exercise. Cats can be content to curl up and sleep on their owner’s lap or occupy a cozy spot on a sun-drenched windowsill. One of the less desirable responsibilities associated with cat ownership is maintaining the litter box to prevent odor. Litter boxes come in many varieties, but they are all intended to give cats a place to go to the bathroom. Cat owners typically place the litter box in a faraway spot to keep it out of sight and avoid any odors that may emanate from within. However, this way of thinking could be counterproductive. If the cat cannot easily find the litter box or is not pleased with its location, it may opt to abandon the litter box, which can get messy. That convenient houseplant in the living room may seem more inviting than the litter box in the basement, after all. The odor of cat urine, when it has a chance to penetrate carpeting or wood flooring, can be difficult to remove. Therefore, it is imperative to create a litter box environment that is accessible to the animal. This may mean placing it in a common area of the home. Avoid placing the litter box next to a noisy appliance, which may spook the cat. Also, do not place the litter box next to a heat source, as that may exacerbate the smell and cause the odor to spread. Invest in multiple litter boxes, especially if you have more than one cat. The general rule of thumb is one per cat and then one more in another location as a backup, in

sider Lavender an herb, if so, it’s a gorgeous one. I don’t think I’d want to eat it though but it would look nice in the herb garden. You can grow your herbs in their own beds, design a traditional herb garden, or grow some in pots, others dotted around in landscape, its up to you, just make sure they are watered correctly and are in good soil, not clay or sand.

INLAND EMPIRE – After a season of use, fireplaces need to be cleaned. Many homeowners think this is a job that can be put off until the fall, but spring is the ideal season to have the chimney and flue cleaned and inspected. One reason to include scrubbing the chimney as part of spring cleaning is to cut down on odor. After using a fireplace, a buildup of creosote forms in the chimney. As the weather gets warmer, creosote

deposits can start to smell sour and that odor will seep into the home. In addition, moisture can mix with the creosote and start to degrade the flue liner, necessitating costly repairs. The sooner a chimney and flue are cleaned the better. A chimney sweep can do a thorough job of scrubbing down the chimney and fireplace and ensuring that everything will be in working order come next season.

Make the most of your patio with the right outdoor furniture INLAND EMPIRE – The right outdoor furniture can make summer soirees that much more enjoyable. Lounging in a comfortable patio chair is a great way to spend a warm summer evening. But choosing the right outdoor furniture for your patio is about more than finding the most comfortable chair. The following are a few tips for homeowners looking to make the most of their patio space. Consider the function of your patio. Some homeowners can’t go a weekend without having guests over to entertain, while others prefer their patios to serve as a peaceful retreat from everyone and everything. If you’re among the former, then you will likely want your patio to resemble an outdoor dining area, which means you will need room for a table and multiple chairs. If you want the patio to serve as a retreat, then you likely won’t need a full dining set. Instead, choose a small table and one or two dining chairs, decorating the rest of the patio with a chaise lounge or two, which allows you to stretch out and take a nap if you so desire. Opt for low-maintenance furniture. When choosing outdoor furniture, keep in mind that the patio and the furniture on it is meant to offer a place to unwind and relax. Furniture that must be constantly cleaned or covered up because it can’t brave the elements cuts into

your relaxation time. All-weather wicker pieces and metal chairs can brave the elements, and even do so for years and years. Consider double-sided cushions. When constantly exposed to the sun, the fabric on cushions can fade fast. Though some homeowners combat this by keeping an umbrella open or adding an awning to cover the patio, that’s not always a practical solution. Instead, consider double-sided cushions that can be flipped every so often to reduce fading. Don’t overlook weight. Heavy outdoor furniture might seem more stable, but such items also are more difficult to move. That’s tricky for homeowners who like to rearrange their patio furniture or those who prefer to move their furnishings into a shed to reduce their exposure to the elements. If you frequently move your outdoor furniture, then opt for items that are lightweight to make all those trips to the garage or shed a little easier.
