Trevor Montgomery WRITER

During the nearly two years since Steve Covington opened Hemet’s Downtown Deli and Coffee Company, he has already gained a loyal and enthusiastic following.

Art and Street Painting Festival came back for the 16th consecutive year. The Festival is a place where artists and art enthusiasts can create and appreciate art in the community setting. Like carefully crafted rectangular jewels, these works of art

will cascade around the neck of the Temecula Civic Center. This year’s event featured 50 local artists selling fine art and handcrafted items, and 42 chalk artists who created visually dynamic street paintings to represent this year’s theme, “On the Road Again.”

Spectators were able to watch the artistic processes unfold Friday evening, June 10, and throughout the weekend as the pieces were finalized. Many also took advantage of

Voters all across Riverside County were surprised Tuesday, June 7, to find that they had either been re-registered as democrats or “declined to state,” barring them from the closed Republican primary, or

were otherwise turned away from the polls. Multiple reports of voter irregularities were filed in as the day went on. Riverside D.A. Mike Hestrin led an investigation that found that hackers were the primary culprit of

Growth throughout southwest Riverside County will surge, not sputter, over the next few years, an economic expert and five city managers agreed at a regional forum. The outlook is so bright that the region is on the brink of becoming Orange County East, said Christopher Thornberg, director of the UC Riverside Center for Economic Forecasting. “This is, by far, one of the most prosperous areas in the region. You’ve got it made in the shade,” said Thornberg, whose past predictions launched him into the stratosphere of his industry. “It is far more like Orange County than the rest of the Inland Empire.” Thornberg’s upbeat outlook was echoed by the city managers who oversee Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore and Wildomar. “We’re excited about where we’re going,” said Grant Yates, who manages Lake Elsinore, which is growing at a breakneck pace yet

still has vast tracts of land where houses and stores will someday sprout. Yates and his colleagues, in the short time they were each given, spotlighted a flurry of commercial developments, thousands of new housing units and an array of hotels, motels and other entertainment- and tourist-related projects. “In Menifee, we have construction everywhere. We’re 9 years old,” said Robert Johnson, the manager, of that fast-growing city. “We’re what I like to call the ‘sleeping giant’ in southwest Riverside County.” Rick Dudley, Murrieta’s city manager, touted the anticipated arrival of a massive CarMax, a facility that is already being billed as one of the largest auto dealerships west of the Mississippi. “Things are booming, but we’re not alone in that respect,” Dudley said. Some of the managers cited some of the fiscal challenges that

Menifee Military Banners honor veterans and those in service Jacob Preal WRITER

Citizens looking to spruce up their community and honor those that have served have never had an easier time in the City of Menifee. Taking a drive down several of its streets has functioned as a type of a static parade with the faces of veterans or those currently serving in the military hung proudly by the city fathers. Menifee has long marveled at its string of heroes who have either come home to an expectant family or fought bravely until the end. Established in 2012, the City of Menifee Military Banner Program has given citizens the ability to commemorate both by purchasing a banner in their honor. The city will display it on its roads, free of charge. Hung on poles all across the city around 250 banners now occupy Newport Road, Menifee Road and Sun City and Cherry Hills Boulevards. The banners are now spilling into Murrieta Road, said Economic Development Manager Gina Gonzalez. Banners can even be placed beside one another by sharing a pole. “It is really cool because we will have a father and son. The son will be an active duty and the dad was in the military,” she said. “Now there’s those father-son combos and they can be side by side.” In addition to the ability to purchase banners, people can contribute to a collective fund that will donate a banner to those that cannot afford one, but would still like to honor their loved ones. “I have a family where the husband was killed in active duty and has three kids,” explained Gina. “And [the mother] wanted it up so her kids could see their dad every day when they went to school… She shouldn’t have to pay for the banner. It should be for the kids.” The brainchild of Councilwoman Lesa Sobek, the banners were inspired by a similar program in Chino. Sobek was searching for something that would create a more positive atmosphere in the then-fertile Menifee. Seeing the streets of Chino lined with military banners, Sobek immediately thought, “This is what

tion. The city handles any bracketing and hardware costs needed to hang the banner. In order to qualify for a banner, an application must be sent to the city for evaluation. Honorees must either currently be an active member of the United States Armed Forces or a retired veteran. Applications are accepted on a year-round basis and processed during the year depending on pole availability and the group order size. The number of orders has grown from seven orders at a time to 17 to 18 orders at a time. Orders are grouped to get discount pricing for residents, said Gina Gonzalez. Each banner consists of the honoree’s official military photo, name and branch in the military. As a designated “Purple Heart City,” Menifee has found a way to honor its heroes and celebrate the freedom that its citizens have fought so valiantly for.

“By the time they get to the provisionals, the election is over,” said Adele. “And if they decided that, well… how much of a difference can provisionals make? So they really never get counted. “ Shane Davis and his mother-inlaw Joani Barnes, recalled their experience at the polls as “not American at all.” Both said they were affected by poll-related issues in Perris’s Campus Resort of America, their primary location. They claimed it lacked supervisors overseeing the poll volunteers, “like there is supposed to be.” “I walked in, like you always do, come in the right line, go up to the counter, told them my name and they said my name was not on there,” Barnes said. “And I said it should be on there, I have my sample ballot sent to me, this is my polling place… and it clearly says Republican. And they tell me they did not have it.” Barnes was told that she could not vote that day but that she could vote democrat. After what she considered an agitating experience, she was given a provisional ballot in order to make sure her Republican vote was received. Shane Davis was changed from a Republican to a member of the Green Party. Vice chair of the Republican Party of Riverside County Jonathan Ingram said in a phone interview he has received a “couple of hundred” calls from individuals who have had their party affiliation changed

since Tuesday. Ingram feels the lack of personal identification when changing party affiliation, via the Registrar of Voters website, makes registration easily compromised. “We spend so much time on protecting voters’ rights but it seems that the right to make sure that your party affiliation is correct is not protected,” said Ingram, who also serves on the Murrieta City Council. “It is amazing to me that somebody could be a Republican for 40 plus years and then all of a sudden their affiliation is changed and there is no notification process. There is no way to go and find who did this.” The district attorney noted that there may be a bigger problem in the county and it may have to go to the board of supervisors. Almost all of the county’s electronics are still on DOS (disk operating system), he said. ”We are so far behind any hacker can get into it... We need to upgrade our voter technology.” He said his investigators are continuing their investigation into voter fraud and online hacking. Valley News also encourages those who voted using a provisional ballot and those who vote-bymail Tuesday to call (800) 7738683 to confirm that their votes were accounted for. According to the Secretary of State’s office, this line can be used by Riverside residents to make sure that their ballots were counted and provide reasoning for votes that were not counted.

Menifee needs.” The following Monday, Sobek met with Robert Johnson, then-interim city manager and later the Veterans Committee. Both loved the idea. The banner program would be expanded to include veterans from World War II, the Vietnam and Korean Wars and those who currently serve. “I believe that is one thing that makes us apart from other cities that have it,” said Sobek. “Some cities have a military banners program only do it for current (service members) or only do it for veteran. In our city, it can be whether they’re a veteran or a currently in the military… in our Sun City Court it is especially designated to World War II, Korean War and Vietnam vets. But they then spread around the city. People want them as close to their homes as possible.” Banners cost $135 and that includes the banner itself and installa-

the voter irregularities. “Hackers are going on and changing (online) voter registrations,” said Hestrin, an invited guest at the grand opening of the Temecula Valley Republican Headquarters Saturday, June 11. “We know hackers are doing it but we don›t know who they are.” According to Hestrin, as far as his investigators are concerned, only Republicans were hacked Tuesday. Another group of investigators was sent to the polls for the primary elections June 7 to ask questions. They found that when voters asked for provisional ballots after realizing that their party identification had changed, they were never received. Hestrin said that he had talked with the Registrar of Voters to ensure that anyone who asked for a provisional ballot would receive one. “No one is going to be disenfranchised in this county,” Hestrin said. Pollster Adele Harrison, who worked the Tony Tobin Elementary poll location in Temecula, witnessed registration problems but still gave provisional ballots to those that insisted on voting Republican. She estimates that around 20 republicans had trouble voting in this location alone. Those that had voted Republican for years and even decades suddenly had to either accept a democrat ballot or try their hand with a provisional one.

Dogs on Deployment

Serving those who serve us Robin Montgomery WRITER

Every day across the United States, military personnel are deployed or reassigned to other military bases around the world. In many of those cases, service members cannot take their beloved pets with them, nor can they find anyone to care for their pets until they return home months later. All too often, these service members have no other option than to turn their pets in to animal shelters, leaving their pets’ fate unknown. An Idea is Born In 2011, husband and wife, Shawn and Alisa Johnson, were both serving in the military and experienced this very problem when they were both unexpectedly reassigned to different military bases. While trying to find a temporary home for their dog, JD, the couple were nearly forced to give away their family pet, due to a lack of available resources. At the time, Shawn was serving in the U.S. Navy and was facing overseas deployment. At the same time, Alisa was serving in the U.S. Marine Corps when she was reassigned to Quantico, Virginia. Fortunately for Shawn and Alisa, they had family they were able to rely on. However, they immediately recognized there was a potential need for other military members

mals, recently wrote about DoD saying, “If any of you reading this are hesitant about being a boarder, my recommendation is to just jump in. “We have only had our new boarders, Luna and Achilles, for one day and we are already seeing the joy and excitement of helping… you’ll love the experience,” said Montijo. Dogs on Deployment named Foster Organization of the Year Recognizing DoD’s efforts, the All-Star Dog Rescue Celebration recently named DoD as their Foster Organization of the Year at their second annual All-Star Dog Rescue Celebration on Thanksgiving Day. DoD was nominated for the honor because it is the nation’s largest pet foster network provider, serving the country’s military personnel. Since the group’s inception, they have helped over 800 military pets find temporary homes during their owner’s military service obligations. The award was presented by popular country band, Florida Georgia Line. Alisa and Shawn Johnson, along with DoD’s National Public Relations Director, Corynn Myers, accepted the award on behalf of the Dogs on Deployment organization and all the faithful volunteers around the country who donate their time, money and effort. Kaley Cuoco, star of Big Bang Theory, hosted the show. The red carpet was star studded, with animalloving supporters like Betty White, Cesar Millan, Paula Abdul, Emmy Rossum and many more in attendance. Military Personnel Grateful for Service Provided by Dogs on Deployment Kelly Collier, a U.S. military service member currently stationed in North Carolina, recently said about DoD, “I cannot express how grateful

I am that this organization exists. “Worrying about who’d watch my pets was my number one stress point my deployment,” explained Collier. “I was even fortunate enough to have my dogs featured on Facebook at one point,” said Collier. Many wonderful and kind people responded, offering to open up their homes to both of my dogs. I eventually was able to meet with some of the people who offered (their assistance) and I’m so pleased to say that the family who took my dogs in couldn’t (have been) more wonderful!” Collier was happy to share that while she was deployed, she even received photos and emails about how her dogs were doing in her absence. She felt more confident about her deployment without having to

worry or be concerned about her beloved animals. When asked about her experience with DoD, Collier simply said, “Thank you so much, Dogs on Deployment!” How to Help With so many military personnel living in Southern California communities, such as Camp Pendleton, Twentynine Palms, Miramar, Coronado Island, San Diego Naval Base and many others, there is a constant need for the type of assistance offered by DoD. For those interested, there are several ways to help DoD. You can be a foster home for pets, sponsor pets, shop at their online store, or simply donate to the organization. Dogs on Deployment can be reached at www.dogsondeployment. org, on their Facebook page www.facebook.com/ DogsonDeployment, or at their Southern California Chapter phone number (619) 8003631.

Local Murrieta Council appoints new city volunteer commissioners Tony Ault WRITER

The Murrieta City Council announced the appointment of six city residents to fill the vacancies on four city volunteer commissions at the regular June 7 council meeting. Councilmembers Alan Long and Jonathan Ingram in December, volunteered to serve as city council ad hoc subcommittee to conduct commission interviews. The openings were one in the Planning Commission, two in the Parks and Recreation Commission and one in the Library Advisory Commission. They were advertised in

OUTLOOK from page A-1 their municipalities face. But the bulk of their five-minute presentations focused on the new growth that is unfolding or surfacing on planning agendas. About 300 people attended the $40-per-person event June 8. The forum was sponsored by the Temecula Valley Chamber of Commerce and held at the Pechanga Resort & Casino. The turnout marked an uptick from last year’s attendance of about 225. Organizers attributed the attendance bump to the region’s steady growth and economic rebound. The growing marketplace has fueled a corresponding jump in the chamber’s membership, organizers said. “I think it’s the times,” said Alice Sullivan, chamber president and chief executive. “We have a lot of new members. It’s been absolutely amazing.” The conditions cited by Sullivan and the speakers marked a sharp contrast from many of the previous forums sponsored by the chamber. Grim reports dominated during the “Great Recession,” a sharp downturn that hit in 2008 and gripped the area for nearly five years. Speakers in subsequent years yearned for the “Great Recovery” from that slump. Throughout the Inland Empire, many desert communities and the cities near San Diego, Orange or Los Angeles counties have regained much of their financial footing. That recovery has unfolded

the local news media, the city council website and on the social media. There were a total of 12 applicants for the three year open positions. Their terms will begin June 30. The subcommittee conducted interviews on May 19 and recommended one applicant for the Planning Commission. The planning commission applicant approved by the council is Michael Fisher. The city council upon hearing the ad hoc committee’s recommendations also appointed Tom Busch and Patrick Kight to the Traffic Commission, Christi White and Mary Mollway to the Parks and Recreation Commission

and Juanita Brown to the Library Advisory Commission. Councilmember Ramos was appointed to the Library Board with a term expiring June 30, 2019 with the understanding that the term does not extend beyond his elected term of office. The Youth Advisory Commission, under the auspices of the Parks and Recreation Commission will select one of its members to serve as the Youth Representative on the Parks and Recreation Commission. Following the vote by the council the six new commission members were sworn in by the City Clerk.

amid what the “Wall Street Journal” recently termed a “weakening outlook for the global economy.” Thornberg emerged as a canary in the coal mine as the economic winds have shifted and swirled over the past decade. Beginning in 2006, Thornberg has served on the advisory board of Paulson & Co. Inc., a Wall Street hedge fund. About that time, he surfaced as an early prophet of the subprime mortgage market crash that began in 2007. Thornberg was dubbed “Dr. Doom” as the meltdown became a reality and exposed gaping holes in the nation’s economic infrastructure. In 2015, Thornberg was named to California State Treasurer John Chiang’s Council of Economic Advisors. Thornberg told his audience that he has not spotted any of the financial minefields that littered the economic landscape a decade ago. “There is no bubble out there,” he said. He said California and the nation are continuing to experience

a stable, but slow-paced economic expansion. Recessions are an unavoidable occurrence within modern economies, he conceded, but currently there is no handwriting on the wall. “I’m perfectly happy where the economy is headed in the short term,” he said. “Incomes are growing at a very nice pace. Consumer spending is on fire. When people are borrowing, it’s a sign of a good economy.” He urged forum attendees to steer clear of what he called “the herd of miserablists” – the pundits, politicians and prognosticators who are “constantly screaming crisis at you.” Those hyped-up calamities unfold at a breathtaking pace, he said, and they constantly bounce from stock market hiccups to high oil prices, low oil prices and the uncertainties of a continually-changing global economy. “It’s just noise,” he said. “Turn it off. Stop listening to it. There is no bubble, at least not yet.”

One supervisor race ends, other narrows for November

Chuck Washington.

Shellie Milne.

Tim O’Leary VALLEY NEWS STAFF

Conversely, the primary results will bring a staid county election to the 1st District in November. Jeffries netted 59 percent of the primary votes cast in the 1st District, a margin that allowed him to avoid a runoff. Challenger Debbie Walsh received nearly 27 percent of the vote. The third candidate, Brit Holstrum, received nearly 14 percent. Jeffries parlayed a leadership role as a volunteer firefighter into a seat on a recreation board in 1980 and later at a pair of water districts. He was elected to the state Assembly in November 2006. He left the Assembly and won his supervisor seat in November 2012. Walsh worked for five years as an aide to Bob Buster, whom Jeffries defeated to win his county seat. Walsh had focused on public safety

One southwest Riverside County supervisor race has ended and the other will stretch into November. Supervisor Kevin Jeffries easily deflected a pair of challengers in the June 7 primary election. That allows him to sidestep a November runoff election. His colleague to the south, however, must go the distance. Incumbent Chuck Washington will take on challenger Shellie Milne in the coming months in the fast-growing 3rd District. That campaign will likely be costly and split along factional and ideological lines. Residents of the 3rd District will continue to drive through intersections clotted by campaign signs.

issues and called for the county to help Canyon Lake open its shuttered fire station. Holstrum is a retired nurse who pressed for increased use of alternative energy sources and to make more resources available to military veterans. The 1st District takes in part of the city of Riverside and all of Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and Canyon Lake. De Luz, La Cresta, Lake Mathews and a string of other unincorporated communities are also in that district. It is the territory to the south, the 3rd District, where the political waters will boil. Each supervisorial district is home to more than 450,000 residents. “We did not get into it to lose,” Milne said in a Monday afternoon phone interview. She will now campaign solely against Washington. The 3rd District stretches from Temecula to San Jacinto and Idyllwild to Anza Borrego Desert State Park. It takes in four cities: Temecula, Murrieta, Hemet and San Jacinto; as well as such far-flung unincorporated communities as Murrieta Hot Springs, French Valley, Winchester, Aguanga, Lake Riverside and Anza. Washington, who was appointed to his post by Gov. Jerry Brown, captured 40 percent of the vote

after all the election precincts were counted. That was well short of the majority that he needed to avoid a runoff. “I’m pleased with the outcome of the election so far,” Washington said in a written statement. “We’ve got one more leg of the race to win.” Milne finished second by capturing 31.6 percent of the vote as the remaining provisional, mail and damaged ballots were still being tallied. The other challenger, Randon Lane, finished third with 28.4 percent, and will not be in the runoff election. Washington has carved out a unique political path since he arrived in Murrieta as a young military vet turned airline pilot. Washington served on Murrieta’s council from 1995 to 1999 and was mayor for part of that term. Washington moved south into the Temecula community of Meadowview, and he was elected to that council in 2003. Washington was still on the council when Gov. Brown tapped him March 2015 to fill an open seat on the county board. Milne is a retail and municipal consultant and her family owns a grading and excavation company. She parlayed her tea party roots and community activism into a winning bid for a Hemet council seat in November 2012. She has made

inroads in attracting well-placed political and business supporters in Temecula, the wine country and along the Interstate 15 corridor. Milne said she had received a congratulatory phone call from Lane, but added the still-uncounted ballots stopped her from declaring a full victory Monday afternoon. Lane has spent his career in the telecommunications industry. He was the youngest person on record to be appointed to Murrieta’s Planning Commission in 2003. He remained in that post until 2008. He has served on the council since then. The council terms of Milne and Lane both end in December 2016. Washington said in his statement that a spike in voter turnout reflects the growing interest in county issues. “There is a great desire to be involved with their community government and its future,” he said. “That is what I am here to facilitate.” Milne said the need for a runoff, which was fueled by Washington’s slim margin of victory in the primary, means that many votes will be up for grabs in November. “Obviously, we’re excited about where we are at this point,” she said. “I’m happy that people want to change the status quo.”

With votes still to count, fate of Hemet’s Measure E hangs in the balance Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

A proposed Hemet sales tax increase to support the police and fire departments remains just short of the votes needed for approval following last week’s primary election. While more than 62 percent of residents supported Measure E, the proposal is short of the twothirds majority needed for passage as vote-counting continued as of press time. The measure called for an additional 1-cent-per-dollar levy on most sales transactions within the city and should it pass, will required that future city councils budget 72 percent of the general fund exclusively for public safety. Hemet Fire Chief Scott Brown, who says the measure needs less than 500 votes to pass, said he remains cautiously optimistic as absentee, provisional and damaged ballots are still being counted by election officials at the Riverside County Registrar of Voters Office. “We need about 500 votes and I am an optimist,” Brown said. “We gotta be positive but we have a lot of good things happening and we have to continue the momentum.”

FESTIVAL from page A-1 talking to working artists, fostering personal connections. One could also take a stroll down Main Street and visit booths where local artists were selling art from all ends of the creative spectrum including, pottery, jewelry, wood and glass items, candles and many more. Temecula’s Senior Program Coordinator, Gail Zigler, offered, “The festival [featured] live musical entertainment, free face painting, Kid’s Art in the Park featuring Calligraphy by Inkcredible, cartooning and anime by Big Foot, and much more.” Whether observing or participating, there was something for people of all ages to enjoy. This year’s “Best of Show” winner, Gayle DuRivage, has taken part in the Street Painting Festival since it began 16 years ago. Apart from being an incredible street painter, she also dabbles in graphic design, mural painting and works with glass. DuRivage explained that art in general can typically be a very isolated hobby, but street painting

is a more interactive artistic outlet because it involves creating on a bigger scale, directly in the public eye. She enjoys competing every year to “create enthusiasm about art within the community [and] interact with people.” DuRivage’s favorite work of art she has ever created was her entry for last year’s street painting competition entitled “Homecoming,” which displayed a soldier embracing his son. “People looked at it and started crying. It was an emotive piece which related to many of those who viewed it.” This year, she decided to make a more lighthearted approach and appeal to the younger audience by illustrating a vibrantly colored dragon with the help of her husband, who she says is her biggest supporter. Through her artistic endeavors, and for years, he has provided her with the three essentials: chocolate, water and words of encouragement. 14-year-old Jacinda Taggett, a younger Festival participant, took an interest in art more recently, just two years ago. As a second year participant, she has become

comfortable with the festival setting and has grown to love interacting with people and receiving praise for her amazing work. This year, she painted the Gypsy, Esmeralda, from the popular Disney movie, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” to best depict the theme. “She’s a Gypsy so she is always traveling and on the road,” Taggett explained. Awards were distributed Sunday afternoon for five categories:

People’s Choice, Best Black and White (Monochromatic), Best Depiction of Theme, Best Youth and Best Teen; and the grand prize, Best of Show. Each winner received a ribbon and gift bag filled with fun goodies. DuRivage, winner of the elusive Best of Show award, received a trophy. This year’s winners for their respective categories were Aidan Wilkens, Sawyer Guthrie, Trevor Knott, Allison Arnold, Anna

Valenzuela, Rachael Johnson and Elizabeth Arriaga. Each work of art expressed its own brilliance and uniqueness in design. It seems to some, it is unreal that the quality of art produced was created within a mere three days’ time, but the amount of hard work is evident. Most visitor’s say there is no better place than Temecula to discover such fine art, wherein the city itself is a magnificent masterpiece.

HUSD School Board readies 2017-18 budget for state approval Tony Ault WRITER

The Hemet Unified School District Board of Trustees plan to adopt the 2017-18 and 2018-19 proposed budgets and LCAP plans at their June 21 regular board meeting and submit them to the Riverside County Office of Education by the June 30 deadline. The board met June 7 and conducted a public hearing on the proposed budget and Local Control and Accountability Plans that must eventually be seen and signed by the Governor by June 30. Presenting the budget proposal were Assistant Superintendent Vincent Christakos and Pam Boukout, director of fiscal services. The 2016 Local Control Funding Formula target for the 2016-17 was set at $194,983,005 million and fell short by $2 million leaving a $192,983,005 total budget spent. When the general fund was combined and measured it showed a beginning fund balance at $29,656,768. Revenues came in at $248,126,741 with expenses totaling $251,659, 921 and other sources of $1,397,276 leaving and end funding balance of $27,520,864, according to the reports. The districts multi-year projects for revenues and expenses are seen growing with an increasing deficit. Part of the deficit is actually because of the required 5 percent per year emergency reserve funding. It looks like in 2016-17 revenues will come in at $250,167,764 and expenses at $252,303, 668. The reserve fund is set at $12,625,000. In 2017-18 revenues are anticipated at $248,883,856 with expenses tagged at 254,831,562 with a deficit of $5,947,706. Reserves for those years will be $12,745,000. In the 2018-19 budget year revenues are anticipated at $253,660,582 and expenses at $260,862,500, leaving a $7,192,918 deficit. Reserves then will be at $13,050,000. The majority of the Hemet district’s revenues come from California General Funds (61.08 percent) and state supplemental funds (16.06 percent). Then comes other state revenues (9.51 percent); federal funds (6.31 percent), local revenue (6.22 percent) and transfers or other sources (0.82 percent). A 97-page report on the districts LCAP goals for the 2017-18 year is available on the HUSD website under the June 7 regular meeting information. The report gives the different programs and a summary of their costs for those interested. It also has the complete budget reports. The district’s website meeting review can be found at agendaonline.net/public/hemet and look up the June 7 meeting date. In other action June 7, the board approved 63 consent items and held several other public hearings.

Murrieta Mesa’s Bryn Wade named Coach of the Year by L.A. Times

Murrieta Mesa’s head varsity baseball coach, Bryn Wade (middle), pictured here with members of his coaching staff, was recently named the L.A. Times Coach of the Year.

Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

Before this season, Bryn Wade was likely best known as a cousin to baseball legend Jackie Robinson and a former-minor league player. Now, he can call himself a CIF Champion and the Coach of the Year. Against all outside odds, the Murrieta Mesa baseball team captured their first-ever CIF title to cap off a successful year of sports for the Rams. Two weeks later, and Wade is still feeling the aftereffects of the championship, being named the L.A. Times Coach of the Year. “It is something we prepared for,” says Wade. “There was no doubt in the minds of our players and coaches and it wasn’t a shock to those who believed in the program that we were one of the final two teams playing in the last game of the season. We trained this team for their moment and to overcome the adversity and support the guy next to them all season. I am very proud of this program, from the top to the bottom.” Just two years ago, the Rams were 8-18 and had never finished higher than fourth-place in the Southwestern League standings. When Mesa brought Wade on to head the baseball program, they were looking to better the stigma that had begun to surround the

school: cellar dwellers. In his first season with the Rams, Wade coached the team to a .500 season, going 14-14 and yet another last-place finish in the Southwestern League. Though things looked bleak, it only took one full season for Wade to find his groove with the Rams, coaching them to the winningest-season in school history in 2016 with 22 regular season wins (27 if you count the five playoff wins), and just seven losses. Wade coached the Rams to their first Southwestern League title, their first CIF Title and led them to their winningest-season in school history. Not to mention, the CIF title came in California’s hardest baseball division, the Southern Section. His unorthodox style of coaching, and most importantly his dedication to the players, is what set Wade apart from the rest this season. He pulled pitchers with seemingly no regard, but it always worked out in his favor, and players knew he was doing it with the team’s best interest in mind. He encouraged the players to run at will, leading to a leaguehigh 103 stolen bases, and bunt at will, leading to 25 sacrifice bunts. Giving the team the green light certainly seemed to work out, as the Rams finished the season ranked No. 35 in California, and No. 159 in the nation.

“To say the award was welldeserved would be an understatement, as this team accomplished the impossible, going from worstto-first in just one season, having a blast along the way. All of us at

the City of Murrieta are just so overwhelmingly happy for them,” said Murrieta Mayor Randon Lane at the Rams championship party, held at MAXX Pizza in Murrieta June, 9.

Senior Zac Filos put it as simply as possible when talking to the L.A. Times, “I love him to death. He’s like a second father to us.”

The Murrieta Mesa CIF-SS Division 1 Championship baseball team was recognized at MAXX Pizza in Murrieta last week by members of local and state governing offices.

Rugged Maniac bringing their wild obstacles and epic party to Galway Downs TEMECULA – One of the nation’s largest obstacle race companies, Rugged Maniac, will bring crazy obstacles, a wild festival, and thousands of revelers back to Galway Downs Saturday, June 18. The Temecula Maniac stop, which is quickly becoming an annual tradition, is part of a season that will make 27 other stops across North America. Rugged Maniac provides a perfect opportunity to do something fun and physical with your weekend, no matter your age, shape or size. Adrenaline seekers from across the region will tackle 25 challenging obstacles spread along a three-mile off-road course; including underground tunnels, trampolines, warped walls, balance beams and a Maniac favorite-50-foot water slide. Rugged Maniac CEO Brad Scudder and chief operating officer, Rob Dickens, previously appeared on ABC’s hit TV show Shark Tank, where they enticed famed businessman and billionaire Mark Cuban to invest $1.75 million in the company. “Rugged Maniac continues to be one of my most successful investments,” said Cuban. “Their focus on creating an amazing experience for their participants has helped them rise to the top of the obstacle race industry. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them!” Cuban’s investment has enabled Rugged Maniac to build bigger and more exciting obstacles than its competitors, which resulted in a 30 percent increase in atten-

dance in 2015. “We’ve experienced tremendous growth since our inception in 2010 thanks to our fanatical drive to make sure our Maniacs have the best experience imaginable at our events,” said Dickens. “We build more obstacles than our competitors while at the same time offering the lowest ticket prices. Our participant shirts aren’t the coarse cotton ones you’d get at a normal 5k—they’re super-soft designer quality shirts that you’ll actually want to wear!” “Unlike other festivals, we strive to eliminate all lines at the event. That means no lines at the toilets, no lines at the food trucks, and definitely no lines on the course. Most importantly, we don’t charge “festival” prices for food or beer. You’ll pay the same at Rugged Maniac as you would at a local restaurant. Basically, we treat our Maniacs the way we’d want to be treated, and they show their appreciation by coming back year after year.” Tickets, available online at www.ruggedmaniac.com, are priced $89 until June 14. In addition to advance online registration, participants may also sign up at the event the day of the race for $100. Students and military personnel with valid identification receive a $10 discount. The daylong festival, which is free to attend for spectators, will also feature a variety of entertainment including music, mechanical bulls, adult bounce houses, beer, food and exhibition booths.

Rugged Maniac will bring crazy obstacles, a wild festival, and thousands of revelers back to Galway Downs Saturday, June 18.

LAKE ELSINORE – A local skydiving team won gold in 4-way canopy formation skydiving at the U.S. Parachute Association National Parachuting Championships that competed last week at the Florida Skydiving Center in Lake Wales. The team, Elsinore Too Wrapped Up, also earned slots on the prestigious U.S. Parachute Team that will compete at the World Championships this September outside of Chicago. In canopy formation skydiving, teams of four skydivers deploy their parachutes immediately after jumping from the plane and build formations as quickly as possible while holding onto each other’s canopies. A videographer flies alongside to capture the action. Too Wrapped Up members are Taylor Cole of Rancho Cucamonga,

Will Kitto of Irvine, Sean Jones of Corona, Eric Gallan of Fallbrook, Glen Fafard of Riverside and Kevin Ingley of Olympia, Washington. The team trains locally at Skydive Elsinore. Later this year, nearly 500 of the country’s top skydivers will head to the 2016 United States Parachute Association (USPA) National Skydiving Championships, the biggest and most thrilling skydiving competition in the country. The event will take place Oct. 21-30 at Skydive Arizona in Eloy, an expansive skydiving resort an hour south of Phoenix. These championships are free and open to the public. For more information on making a first jump or to find a skydiving center near you, visit www.uspa.org or call (800) 371-USPA.

Developing a first-aid kit for stress from that relaxing vacation last fall. Sound can also be a good means of reducing stress. Listening to some favorite, slow, relaxing music or other soothing sounds is always a good stress reducer. And yes, your nose can also help. The variety of scents available in candles, air fresheners, lotions and aromatherapy oils can all soothe. Scents like lavender and apple tend to calm, while lemon and peppermint help to energize many people. Taste is another way to find short term relief from stress. There’s a reason why comfort foods have

While most of us have first aid supplies for physical injuries, it’s also possible and a good idea, to put together a first-aid kit for stress. One part of our stress first-aid kit is short term stress antidotes that use our five senses. With sight, for example, you can use your eyes to focus on things that relax and calm you. Maybe it’s simply looking out the window at nature, or looking through some favorite pictures, say

earned that name. And touch? While a soothing massage may be the ultimate stress reducer, simply stroking your pets, taking a relaxing bath or shower, or exchanging hugs with someone close to you are all good ways to use touch for fighting stress. Other approaches to fighting stress take more effort but produce long-term relief. Things that make your heart feel happy are some of the most effective. That usually means connecting with others and finding acts of kindness that make you feel better.

Tied to that is identifying activities that help you feel good about yourself and your place in the world. It might be volunteering, helping a sick friend, or taking up a craft or some other activity that allows you to be creative. Some people find that developing a more spiritual side to their lives is a great way to reduce stress. That can mean formal religion, but can also mean spending more time in nature or getting involved in community activities where you find you are able to contribute and do good.

We live in a time when stress is a common affliction that most of us face. While there may be no way to make all the stress of daily living disappear, being aware of the stress you face and taking simple steps to help you better handle it will certainly make life easier.

If so, ask your doctor which nursing homes he or she visits so you may continue to see him or her while you’re in the nursing home. If you’re in the hospital, ask your social worker about discharge planning as early in your hospital stay as possible. The hospital’s staff should be able to help you find a nursing home that meets your needs and help with your transfer when you’re ready to be discharged. Medicare provides a handy way

Are you looking for a nursing home for yourself or a loved one? People go to nursing homes for different reasons. They may be sick or hurt and require ongoing nursing care. They may have had surgery and need time to recuperate. Or they may have chronic care needs or disabilities that make long-term nursing care a necessity. Many communities have nursing homes. But how do you pick one that’s best for you or your family member in need? The first step is to learn about the available facilities in your area. You can do that in a number of ways.

Nursing Home Compare provides a wealth of information on quality of care and staffing levels at more than 15,000 nursing homes certified for Medicare and Medicaid patients throughout the United States. One excellent feature is the star rating system. Facilities can receive from one to five stars, with five stars being the highest rating. These star ratings give you a quick snapshot of the facility. Keep in mind that Medicare covers short-term nursing home stays following hospitalization, but generally doesn’t cover longterm care stays in a nursing home. Medicare coverage of home and community-based long-term care services is very limited. Medicaid covers long-term nursing home stays, and may include coverage of home- and communitybased services (HCBS). HCBS provide opportunities for people with Medicaid to get services in their own home or community.

TEMECULA – It’s a scenario that plays out hundreds of times a day across Riverside County. People are calling 9-1-1 and hanging up. It’s most likely an accident, but it’s taking time away from those who really need help. Whether it’s a child playing with a phone, or someone keeping their finger on the “1” button too long, sitting with the phone in their pocket, or people calling about the same car crash and then hanging up. If someone accidentally dials 9-1-1, they shouldn’t hang up because every call that comes into the Sheriff’s Communication Center is taken seriously. Under some circumstances, when there’s no one on the other end of the line, dispatchers are required to find the caller to see if there’s actually an emergency. While the dispatcher is trying to make contact with the “hang-up”

caller, another person with a true emergency could be put on hold. People who dial 9-1-1 – by mistake or not – can save dispatchers that wasted time by simply staying on the line so dispatchers can verify the caller doesn’t need help. Parents are reminded that even if a cell phone is disconnected from a service provider, it can still connect to 9-1-1, unless the battery is removed. Making bogus 9-1-1 calls is a crime in California and the penalty is up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. A prank call to draw a SWAT team response to a hoax victim (“swatting”) can have serious consequences. If convicted, the caller could go to jail for a year and pay a fine of up to $10,000. If someone is hurt or killed as a result of the prank call, the penalty increases to up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Lango Baya Mission Project creates Safe Homes for Children Around the World

Sisters smile for the camera.

Most Kenyan orphans live with their caregivers in mud huts, which are reinforced with wooden sticks.

Andrea Verdin WRITER

Millions of children around the world have to grow up without the safety of a home, or without knowing where their next meal is coming from. As a matter of fact, Sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest prevalence (percentage of population) of hunger. According to the World Food Programe, one person in four there is undernourished. The statistics for children is even more staggering; Poor nutrition causes nearly half of deaths in children under five – 3.1 million children each year. For those who survive, one out of six children – roughly 100 million – in developing countries is underweight. As they grow, those children are stunted, with one in three never reaching their full height and weight because of their hunger. Though these numbers truly are heartbreaking, one Fallbrook man has created a nonprofit organization that will truly transform the way that orphaned children in Kenya, Africa grow up. Doug Boggs has formed the Lango Baya Mission Project, which focuses on the health and safety of orphaned children in six Kenyan villages. Boggs’ passion to transform these children’s lives came after meeting a Kenyan missionary who visited St. Peter’s Church in Fallbrook in 2007. “For a long time, I had the desire to be involved in the foreign missions, and within six months or so, I went to Kenya,” said Boggs. “Being raised in our American culture, I was shocked by what I saw and suddenly became aware that everybody in the world doesn’t live the way Americans live.” Boggs was encouraged by the missionaries’ work within the villages, but at the same time, he was saddened by the conditions that large segments of the world’s population struggle with.

“That motivated me to get involved with that area and those people who are trying to create the appropriate development for the culture in which they are working,” said Boggs. “One of the first things I asked the missionaries was, ‘What was their first, most urgent, need.’ They said there are many orphans in the area, and I decided to work with them.” Boggs was unaware that the missionaries quickly spread word of his plan to local residents, and two days before he was to return home, Boggs was approached by Mama Lucy, a church member. “She said, ‘I hear you’re looking for orphans. I’ve got nine orphans here, waiting,’” said Boggs. “I wasn’t planning on doing anything on that first trip, but I wrote down their info on a piece of scrap paper and took their pictures. When I returned to Fallbrook, in the very first meeting I began to help the orphans, all nine were sponsored in that meeting.” Today, the Lango Baya Mission Project helps 425 orphans in six villages. Sponsored children are able to go to school, given medical attention and, most importantly, are also given food support. Before being supported financially, the orphans were eating one meal a day and were severely malnourished. Unlike orphanages that group children together in large homes for care, the Lango Baya Mission Project works with the orphans’ living family members to care for the children. “It’s better socialization for the children than if they were in orphanages,” said Boggs. “Caregiving family members can be a grandmother, an aunt or an uncle. We also help the families develop sources of personal household income through small business opportunities such as animal husbandry and agricultural training.” As the children sponsored through the Lango Baya Mission Project grew, new needs arose. Before being sponsored, many of these children did not expect to complete high school. If that had occurred, the children would have stayed in the same cycle of poverty they were born

into. As a way to break that cycle, Boggs and the Lango Baya Mission Project are aiding students to continue their education. “We now have many students in two-year and four-year college degree programs,” said Boggs. “It’s an understood fact that education is one of the primary ways for children to move out of the cycle of poverty, but we have the same concern for children who are not destined for college. Therefore, we provide access to trade and technical schools. We also provide motivational goal -setting seminars for our high school students, addressing the different issues the children may be facing now, as a way to help them succeed in life.” To insure that the orphans’ needs are being addressed, the Lango Baya Mission Project has six local village

coordinators who live in the villages to oversee the orphans’ care. “We use strong local leadership to run the program,” said Boggs. “It’s a nice cooperative partnership because it restrains our Western tendency to go in with a Western solution, which in fact can do more harm than good.” Though the Lango Baya Mission Project is affiliated with the Catholic Church because Boggs is Catholic, the goal of the mission project is to address the needs of the community, not just a select few who attend the church. The village coordinators also identify any orphans within the community that might need sponsorship and report back to the nonprofit. “The coordinators know the people, and help us find orphans,” explained Boggs. “We have orphans from all religious groups represented. We help anyone that needs help.” “This has been such a wonderful cross-cultural learning experience,” said Boggs. “Effective poverty alleviation is a complex mission

involving history, culture, politics and economics. Within the last 15 to 20 years, organizations are doing long-term development the correct way – coming alongside communities to help them, not rescue them. We have the tendency to do things we feel will most benefit [those in need] with our own biases, and we can really hurt people in trying to help them if it’s not properly done with cultural sensitivity and awareness. We need to work within the community’s desired framework of improvement.” Currently, the Lango Baya Mission Project is looking for individuals to help sponsor orphans, in addition to volunteer their time to promote the project. The project is also in the process of developing a website for further reach into the community. To support an orphan through the Lango Baya Mission Project, contact Doug Boggs at (760) 723-2210 or at langobaya@yahoo.com.

I live my life in 90 minute chunks For people who suffer from Overactive Bladder (OAB), the symptoms can be distressing. However, no one medication works the same for everyone and every age group. It is a goal of clinical research to find out who can receive the most relief from a medication.

Clay bricks are made by the entire village during mission trips. This is an effective way to have the community gather together to support each other.

The PILLAR clinical study is researching a medication approved to treat OAB symptoms. We are looking for men and women 65 years of age or older with OAB to participate. Study-related procedures and medication will be provided at no cost.

If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about this study, feel free to contact us. General good health is required for participation.

There’s no need for a delay in releasing police body cam footage Andrea Estrada WRITER

State legislation is working towards public transparency, but it’s not quite there yet. It seems to follow the old adage “One step forward, two steps back” in terms of how individuals are given pertinent information about law enforcement laws. Around the country, body cameras on police officers have been implemented. This is meant to provide transparency in how the public is dealt with on a regular

basis and footage can be used in court as evidence against a suspect or as a way to exonerate a police officer from blame. However, many police unions are working around the clock to prevent the public from seeing that footage. Assembly Bill 2533, authored by Assemblyman Miguel Santiago, is an example of how the public would be barred from seeing footage from body cams. This bill is set for its first policy committee hearing in the second house on June 21 by the Senate Public Safety Committee.

AB 2533 seems innocent enough − the bill would allow for three days minimum before a public agency would have to release audio or video of an officer online. However, what does the police officer need three days’ notice for? During that time, an officer can rush to court and ask for an injunction, which would prevent the agency from releasing any footage. As stated in the Sacramento Bee, this could tie up recordings for months, even years, causing court delays. With that, out would go any trust

in law enforcement. This is also not new; motions for injunctions such as these have increased in the past decade, and is a variation of strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPP) actions. These injunctions claim that police will be defamed, or will be threatened with protracted litigation. That’s enough to stop the court from releasing footage. This no longer has anything to do with protecting the public, or even protecting police officers if information about them is disclosed; it is about police officer unions

Abolish the Department of Education Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Oh, how I long for someone with the wisdom and clarity of Ronald Reagan. One of his campaign promises was to abolish the federal Department of Education. He failed, but not for lack of trying. The Department of Education survived only because Democrats had a lock on the House of Representatives. Nevertheless, Reagan cut the budget significantly and scaled back its functions. On one trip to the DOE during the Reagan years, I asked an employee about her job. She said, matter-of-factly, “I am going through every regulation issued by the Department and cutting out anything that is not ‘family friendly.’” Needless to say, it was a full-time endeavor. If “The Gipper” were alive today one can only imagine the reaction he would have to the Education Department’s letter issued to schools last month telling them that federal law requires them to allow students to use restrooms and locker rooms “consistent with their gender identity.” The letter, issued in the form of a guideline, does not carry the force of law, but it carries this implied threat: Do this or risk losing federal funds. Isn’t it past time we freed public schools and colleges from the tyranny of the federal government?

Why send a dollar to Washington and have it funneled through several layers of this behemoth bureaucracy, only to get back a few cents, along with a boatload of regulations? Our Founding Fathers wisely left the matter of education in the hands of the states, where it would be under the control of the people who live in those states. For much of our history, most of the real control of education was local, where it should be. The federal Department of Education has only two functions: to advise (coerce) and to gobble tax dollars. Most people are unaware that the DOE has been with us a relatively short time. It was created by Reagan’s predecessor, Jimmy Carter, as a payoff to the teachers’ union, the Nation Education Association, in return for its support. Since that time the budget has grown from $14.2 billion to $68 billion. And what has been accomplished since the creation of the department? Students test scores in math, science and reading have been flat or declined over the last four decades. Abolishing the Department of Education was an official part of the Republican Party Platform in 1980. It was dropped in 1984. With the election of George H.W. Bush, Republicans got in lockstep with Democrats and adopted Goals

2000. After the Newt Gingrich-led Republican revolution that gave the GOP complete control of Congress for the first time in 40 years, what did they do? They increased funding and extended control of the Department of Education. Only one brief period in 1996, did abolishing the DOE return to the GOP platform. After Bill Clinton defeated Bob Dole, the agency has grown unabated, most notably through the efforts of George W. Bush who made education a cornerstone of his administration. The problems created by No Child Left Behind are still with us, and now we are dealing with Common Core. We are at point in time that when you hear someone call for abolishing the Department of Education, it sounds almost radical. Most Americans can’t envision a time when the DOE was not with us, nor do they understand that its creation was an unconstitutional power grab. Now, the federal government is threatening to withhold federal funds for schools that do not get in line and allow students who feel they belong to a different gender, other than the one they were assigned at birth, to use that bathroom. This raises the question: Is it enough to identify with the opposite gender for one day, one week or a year? Can I identify with

the opposite gender long enough to simply get a peak in the opposite sex’s bathroom and then go back, or must I remain as the opposite gender for a period of time? Presently, public schools have enough problems to deal with without forcing them to abide by this latest fad from Washington. If this isn’t enough to get us back to where we were in 1980, when Ronald Reagan spoke out forcefully against this federal power grab, then we have lost all hope of reclaiming control of the education of our children. Gary Johnson, the Libertarian nominee for president, has done this. Donald Trump has simply teased us. This week he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that it “can be largely eliminated,” but hedged, “Now, you maybe want to have a little bit of tentacles out there.” That’s not good enough! The solution next week. Jane Chastain is a Southern California-based broadcaster, author and political commentator.

Early school hours detriment to students Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Sora Schmidlapp, and I am an eighth-grade student who goes to Temecula Middle School. I am writing this to talk about the school hours. Waking up early isn’t easy, especially when you are doing it to go to school where you sit in class after class for seven hours.

I believe school should start at 10 a.m., and depending on your age, not any earlier. Paul Kelley, a sleep researcher at the University of Oxford, hates that children start so early. He believes children between the ages of eight and ten should start no earlier than 8:30 a.m. He also states sixteen year olds should start at or after 10 a.m.

Lastly, he states eighteen year olds should start at eleven a.m. or later. Studies also show that teens our age could even suffer from sleep deprivation. This is caused from not getting enough sleep and then waking early the next day. I would also like to add that Academic performance has shown signs of improvement when school

starts later. All in all, this shows it would be a good idea to change school hours. Sincerely, Sora Schmidlapp Temecula, CA

Proponents on Measure E disingenous To the Editor Valley, Thank you for including our town Hemet in your distribution cycle, a welcome addition to fair reporting. Your edition June 3-9 arrived for the first time so a letter to you would have been too late to promote and join you in YES on measure E for Hemet. By the time this letter is published we will know the result, hopefully a resounding YES. It seems that the proponents of NO on Measure E are disingenuous. While it is everyone’s right to have a differing view it should be done honestly and offer an alternate plan of action. The main advocators against measure E appear to be the Hemet Taxpayers Association (ID#CO583246) and Eric Buskirk of the other newspaper that appears weekly. The association, according to the California Secretary of State department, is currently shown as suspended or inactive and has no agent for service of process. The website of the association does not show any officers, committee, chairman or members and has no office address. It appears to operate from a post box at a UPS store. In addition, the Hemet Taxpayers Association has fallen foul of the FPPC by not declaring its interest in the signs placed around the town. Hardly a credible start but expected of an apparent phantom organization. Maybe the association is merely the alter ego of one or two persons. From the woodwork out crawls a Mr. Robert Righetti who wrote in a community newspaper on behalf of the Hemet Taxpayers Association recommending his naysay thoughts. He failed to comprehend, as do others better in the know,

the proposed 1 percent sales tax increase will not form part of the city funds to be allocated and spent at the whim of city or state politicians. The receipts of the 1 percent increase will be monitored by a citizen’s committee independent of Town Hall officials and councilors. The age profile of the residents of Hemet is irrelevant in any of the arguments for or against measure E. What is important is our safety and quality of living. We are sick and tired of parolees being dumped in Hemet and the influx of drug dealers and sex offenders. One only has to check the crime statistics and map in the other community rag to see part of the number of crimes committed against the person to realize the impact of the increase in gang and criminal activity in our town. This has to be vastly reduced

Budget Painting

and the town made safe again for all residents and businesses. The naysayers offered no alternative to the 1 percent increase in sales tax. The alternative to the sales tax would be to increase property taxes, which is the last thing we want. That would place the funds at the whim of grasping politicians. The lives and safety of residents and those who protect them matter. The sales tax does not apply to food and essentials. If you want luxury, then pay for it as is done in all budgets where cigarettes and alcohol taxes are always hit first. The responsible and right thing to do was to help yourselves to help others by having voted YES on Measure E. Patrick Collins Hemet

“

not wanting the public to see what happens on video footage. This futile attempt at blocking footage just builds a wall between law enforcement and the public, who post their own cell phone footage and social media posts about incidents as they occur As law abiding citizens, we are taught to trust in our law enforcement. We are taught to feel secure that someone is out there, watching for our safety. Now let’s take care of our police officers by holding them accountable. It’s the next step towards integrity in law enforcement. Though this is not a bill that seemingly impacts our community, as a community newspaper it is our duty to inform our readership of important legislation. As a community newspaper affiliated with the California Newspaper Publishers Association, we work to serve Fallbrook by insuring public access to information that would otherwise be unavailable, in addition to the local activities that impact us daily. w w w . m y v a l l e y n e w s . c o m

TEMECULA – Jacob Preal received the Dr. Brown Scholarship for Outstanding Valley News Journalism Intern 2016 at the recent Great Oak S.P.I.R.I.T. Awards Ceremony May 31. “Jacob has repeatedly proved himself to be dedicated to the business of reporting the things happening in our communities in a fair and balanced manner,” said Valley News Managing Editor Kim Harris. “He’s always willing to take on the toughest assignments, as well as volunteering to edit stories from other writers and help with the production end of the business. He is consistent, reliable and a very strong writer with great ethics and a true nose for news.”

Preal will be studying Political Science at UCLA, where he will further his understanding of politics and learn to perfect his writing style. “It’s been my pleasure to work with Jacob and our other interns, Bryce Chechile and Raevyn Walker this semester,” said Harris. “All three students show great promise and I am super excited to see what the future holds for these interns.” This scholarship recognizes outstanding journalism talent and dedication from among high school and college interns. This year’s scholarship was for $1,000 and can be used for any school-related purpose. The Valley News scholarship is sponsored by Dr. K. Pat Brown, DDS, a local dentist and long-time resident of the area. Brown was a

graduate of Elsinore High School when it was the only public school in the area. He was an outstanding scholar-athlete there and has been giving back to local communities for years by supporting local youth athletics and academics programs. “It is important to encourage our youth in academics, sports and especially journalism which creates information bridges within our communities,” said Brown, “It is incumbent upon the successful businesses in our community to recognize and reward outstanding achievements. You never know whom you will inspire to greatness. We are happy to partner with the Valley News every year to do just that.” The offices of Dr. Brown are at 27450 Ynez Road, Suite 204, Temecula, CA, (951) 695-6269.

TVEA presented each principal with a framed certificate of appreciation and a bouquet of fresh flowers. TVEA President Jeff

Kingsberg shared three comments about each leader from the survey that reflected site feedback and staff members spoke about how the principal has inspired them and their colleagues. Assistant Superintendent of Educational Support Services Jodi Mc Clay and Board Trustees Sandy Hinkson and Kristi Rutz- Robbins were present to represent TVUSD.

Rocker to perform at Old Town Temecula Community Theater

Joe Naiman WRITER

Lee Rocker, who is best known as the bassist for the Stray Cats, will perform at Old Town Temecula Community Theater July 1. “I’m just looking forward to the show,” Rocker said. “Happy to

be out in Temecula, sort of in my backyard.” When Rocker is not on tour he splits time between New York and Laguna Beach. Rocker has lived in Laguna Beach for the past 27 years. “I’m more in California than in New York,” he said. “Raised our kids here and really put down roots

in Laguna.” Rocker will be joined by guitarist Buzz Campbell, who lives in Temecula. “It’s a great town. Buzz Campbell is really my right-hand man and a great guitar player,” Rocker said. Rocker’s current band also includes drummer Larry Mitchell and keyboardist Joey Guevara. Mitchell also lives in Riverside County. Guevara lives in San Diego County. Rocker has twice performed at wineries in Temecula, but the Old Town Temecula Community Theater concert will be his first in Temecula at an indoor venue. “It’s much more controllable than outdoors,” he said. “I’m sure it’s going to be great sound and a beautiful stage.” During his concerts Rocker performs some of the Stray Cats’ greatest hits but also pays tribute to other rockabilly artists. “Probably half the show is Stray Cats hits and album tracks that I love,” he said. “Then

it’s a mix of my solo records and other rock and roll songs, classic rock songs, Americana songs.” The Stray Cats consisted of Rocker, Brian Setzer and Slim Jim Phantom. The three have known each other since elementary school, having lived in the same neighborhood in the Long Island town of Massapequa. “We grew up together,” Rocker said. “Brian was a couple of houses to the right and Jim lived a couple of houses to the left.” Massapequa also produced Twisted Sister lead singer Dee Snider and Cars lead guitarist Elliot Easton. “A lot of musicians came out of there,” Rocker said. The Stray Cats began performing throughout Long Island in 1979 and 1980. In the summer of 1980 they purchased four airplane tickets to London; three of those tickets were for the band members and the fourth was for Rocker’s bass. “The band took off very quickly, kind of

like being shot out of a cannon or something,” Rocker said. The Stray Cats’ first album was released in 1981. “I’ve been touring for about 35 years, 36 years,” Rocker said. “I love to really cherry-pick from that long list of albums.” Rocker is currently working on a record of new music. “I’m trying to finish it up in this calendar year and have a new album,” he said. Rocker expects to take the album to the recording studio phase after the current spring and summer tour is over. Rocker and his band played in Sweden in April and the tour venues also include New Mexico and Iowa. “It’s a lot of dates and a lot of interesting places,” he said. The Temecula concert will be Rocker’s only performance during the Independence Day weekend. He will be traveling to New York to see family members and watch July 4 fireworks.

Temecula Community Services presents rock legends in concert TEMECULA – The city of Temecula Community Services Department will present a one-of-a-kind concert event on the steps of the Temecula Civic Center. “Rock Legends in Concert with the Temecula Valley Symphony” will be held Saturday, June 18, from 8-9:30 p.m. and feature an impressive line-up of rock legends, including Vinny Appice, Rudy Sarzo, Craig Goldy and Andrew Freeman. In addition, Temecula Valley Symphony will be performing rock’s greatest hits by Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Moody Blues, Rainbow, Deep Purple and more. Thomas Kociela will be conducting the concert. This free event is produced by the City of Temecula under the coordination of Gail Zigler, senior coordinator of Arts, Culture and Events. This production was conceived by Music Director Joey Wester and created with the help of Alana Joos, Orchestra Manager for the Temecula Valley Symphony. Together these three organizations bring this epic event to the steps of Temecula’s City Hall.

Grand Tradition announces new Summer Concert Series FALLBROOK – Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens, known for being an exclusive private event venue, is opening its gates to the public with some extraordinary concerts. The edenic-like, 30 acre property, with several towering waterfalls, pristine rolling lawns and an iconic heart shaped lake becomes the playing field for multiple live music performances, providing an all-encompassing music, food and wine festival; not your average, ho-hum concert on a concrete slab. Each Signature Event will include as many as six different performances throughout the gardens

and main stage and feature such world renowned artists as Prince Collaborator Sheila E. and jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair. Able to accommodate upward of 3,000 guests and offer a unique createyour-own concert experience, Grand Tradition’s Signature Events are poised to be the hottest concert tickets in San Diego County. Powerhouse Jazz saxophonist Mindi Abair headlines Aug. 27 with opening act Jazz In Pink during Grand Tradition’s Jazz & Wine Festival. Ruby and the Red Hots, The Detroit Underground and Jose Serrano Quintet will round out the

live performances throughout the gardens. Vintana, Isola and The Promiscuous Fork restaurants will be some of several premiere San Diego restaurants on-site serving up food and wine pairings. Sheila E., renowned singer, songwriter, world-class drummer and percussionist, as well as longtime musical director and close friend to Prince will give her first local appearance onstage since Prince’s tragic passing. Sheila E. will be taking the main stage Sept. 17, while David Maldonado, Rebecca Jade, Martinis and Sinatra, as well as Jerome Dawson and Wasabe Blue

will make it a true festival, filling out the lineup at September’s Jazz & Wine event. Tickets for Grand Tradition’s Jazz & Wine Festivals range between $35 - $175. Gates open at 4 p.m. Last year’s Jazz & Wine Festival was remarkably successful with guests clamoring for a series. Grand Traditions response; expand the property, make way for a bigger stage, provide more comfortable seating, align with San Diego’s top rated restaurants and book some high energy, dynamic entertainers to present an extraordinary series of concerts designed to indulge. “We’re always looking to raise the bar and offer something here you will not find anywhere else” says Mark McDougal, director of operations. 2016 will be a bit of a tease with only three Signature Events offered, however plans for the immediate future entail many more. Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens, established in 1984 as a private event venue, has successfully been hosting hundreds of thousands of special occasions and weddings for the past 32 years. With a focused eye on overall guest experience, exceptional hospitality and

lavish surroundings Grand Tradition has mastered how to throw the ultimate private event. Now, with Grand Tradition’s new Signature Events series, the public is invited and the events are unparalleled against anything else offered in Southern California. Grand Tradition’s Signature Events are sponsored by Fallbrook Winery, San Diego Home/Gardens Lifestyles magazine, Toyota of Escondido and Sysco Foods. Proceeds from Grand Tradition’s Signature Events benefit Fallbrook Beautification Alliance. Grand Tradition’s 4th of July Celebration will occur first in the series with a full concert featuring The Jeanette Harris Band and The Heroes Band. The holiday activities will also include family-friendly attractions, rides and games, as well as a Military Tribute and of course an explosive firework finale. Tickets are on sale now $25 General Admission, $45 Signature Garden Theatre Seat and $150 VIP Dinner Package. Gates open at 4 p.m. Monday, July 4.

The Grace Mellman Community Library gets ready for the 2016 Summer Reading Program Temecula – Every year the library’s Summer Reading Program goal is for children of all ages to enjoy books and activities during the summer break. This year, the Grace Mellman Community Library (GMCL) theme is tied to the Olympics; “Read for the Win.” Children of all ages are invited to participate. Their program is online, meaning parents can sign up their children by visiting srp.rivlib.net and easily track their child’s reading anytime. Children can participate in the five book challenge – for every five books completed, children will receive a free book. Each week, there will be sportsthemed crafts based on the Olympics. People are also encouraged to come enjoy weekly family shows, including the talented David Skale the Magician, Mad Science: The

Science of Sport and The Rope Warrior. All of these events are free to the public. The GMCL Children’s Librarian, Dominique McCafferty, believes that reading books over the summer is very important and prevents what is commonly referred to as the “summer slide.” Children who do not read during the summer are not as well prepared to start the new school year. Adults and Teens can get in on the action with their own activities and programs. The library will also be hosting story time for preschoolers, toddlers and babies. The Summer Reading Program kicks off Monday, June 6 and will continue until Saturday, July 30. Registration is available online at srp.rivlib.net or by visiting the library. Let the games begin!

Every hero has a story festival at the Murrieta Library MURRIETA – Super heroes of all sizes were invited to don their favorite cape and show off their super powers at the Murrieta Public Library’s opening celebration for the Summer Reading Program. The festival was held Saturday, June 11. and the theme was “Every Hero Has a Story.” This year’s line-up of activities would impress even the Justice

League! Joining us were the Murrieta Fire Department, the Murrieta Police Department, the Murrieta Arts Council, Rita’s Italian Ice, the Rebel Legion, surprise super heroes and many others. BOOM! Festival-goers enjoyed arts and crafts, storytelling, games, music, food and enrichment activities from community groups. POW! Little super heroes in-

spected police vehicles, played with the Rebel Legion, took pictures with super heroes and checked out a working fire truck. KABLAM! Research shows that reading over the summer prevents the accumulated effects of academic loss known as the “summer slide.” Children who participate in summer reading tend to develop a love of reading and maintain their

academic skills, so plan to join us at the Library and read and win prizes all summer long. This event was sponsored by the Friends of the Murrieta Library, as well as many local businesses. The Murrieta Public Library is located

at 8 Town Square (Adams Avenue and Kalmia Street). For more information, call (951) 304-BOOK (2665) or visit the Library’s Web page at www.murrietalibrary.info.

Local Author scheduled to speak at June Friends of the Murrieta Library Meeting MURRIETA – The Friends of the Murrieta Library invite citizens to hear local author Bert Upson speak about his firsthand account of his harrowing escape from the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on the morning of the September 11 attacks. He was on the 28th floor when the plane hit the Second Tower. “On a Clear Day” is his story of this unforgettable event. Upson will be the Friends’ guest speaker this month at 10 a.m. at their general meeting Tuesday, June 21. Because 20 percent of Americans knew someone killed or

injured in the attack, this presentation should strike a note in many of their hearts. The meeting will be held in the Community Room of the Murrieta Library and the public is invited. This program was originally scheduled for the Friends’ November 2015 meeting. Upson, who has worked in Personal Development and Leadership Training, has been a guest lecturer at the prestigious Eight Bells Book Lecture Series at the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. Not only do the Friends of the Murrieta Library provide support to

the Murrieta Public Library through fundraising, advocacy and volunteerism, they also promote awareness of and support for the Library as it serves the informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs of our Community. Come and visit with new friends and neighbors and enjoy the programs. Refreshments will be provided. The Library is located at 8 Town Square, on Adams between Juniper and Kalmia.

Dining in the Valley Downtown Deli and Coffee Company helping to revitalize Hemet

Pesto is one of many new ingredients Hemet’s Downtown Deli & Coffee Company is adding to their new menu offerings.

An artist’s rendering shows how the soon-to-be-expanded interior of Hemet’s Downtown Deli & Coffee Company will look.

let them stay in a welcoming and safe environment until I could get to them.” A casual yet sophisticated atmosphere The deli welcomes its visitors and makes them want to stay and enjoy one of their signature sandwiches, handmade desserts or one of over 30 different gourmet coffee drinks. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting and offers a casual yet sophisticated atmosphere, according to Rick Cargo. Downtown Deli serves coffee that is roasted fresh locally and supplied by Mimi Lamp from Idyllwild Coffee Roasters. “It’s important to keep things local and we are so blessed to be partnered with them,” Covington explained. “We’re the only coffee house in the valley to feature free-trade, 100 percent organic coffee beans. Anyone who visits can really taste the difference.” All of the specialty coffees are available hot, over ice or iced frappe and all are served with homemade whipped cream. Downtown Deli’s signature sandwich, “The Downtowner” has been a popular favorite from the day Covington began offering it. Served on a toasted J.J. Cassone Bakery Hoagie Roll, the sandwich outweighs its competition, weighing in at a whopping 10 ounces of meat and cheese when ordered as a whole sub. It is piled high with turkey breast, smoked ham, genoa salami, pepperoni, capicola and provolone cheese. Other favorite sandwiches at the deli include their turkey BLT with avocado and their Italian meatball marinara, which is loaded with provolone and Parmesan cheese. “I love meatball sandwiches and there is not another sandwich shop around that even comes close to the one that Downtown Deli serves,” Cargo said. “It’s undoubtedly the best meatball sandwich anywhere. I call it the filet mignon of meatball sandwiches.” The deli’s signature salads, introduced last summer, are also extremely popular, according to Covington. “We have Asian Chicken Salad, the Harvard Street Salad, and our California Taco Salad,” he said.

uring the nearly two years since Steve Covington opened Hemet’s Downtown Deli and Coffee Company, he has already gained a loyal and enthusiastic following. His deli has become one of the most talked about Hemet dining venues, won several awards and was just nominated by the city for three more. Downtown Deli won awards in the categories of Entrepreneur of the Year and Business Beautification in 2015. This year, the deli was nominated Small Business of the Year, Restaurant of the Year and Business Beautification Award. “We are so excited and honored to have even been nominated,” Covington said. “Great food, great service, awesome employees” Those who frequent the deli, sometimes as often as five or more times per week, are not at all surprised at the deli’s success. “Downtown Deli is hands-down the best deli in the area,” James Anderson recently said. “When you shop at locally owned businesses, you’re helping a family pay their bills, buy their children clothes and put food on their table.” Melody Hawks, who visits the deli often, was pleased with the service she received in a recent large catering order. “We had an event at our church and we ordered two 6-foot sandwiches from Downtown Deli,” Hawks said. “Not only was the food delicious and reasonably priced, they delivered on a Sunday.” Brad Hyman is another fan of Downtown Deli. “My wife Ellen and I eat there for dinner whenever we see a concert at the Diamond Valley Art Council,” Hyman said. “We love knowing that whatever we order is going to taste great and we always know everything is made fresh.” Kellie Stevens, whose favorite sandwiches are the Ruben and the turkey, ham, roast beef combo, said, “I love the decor of the deli and the great customer service I receive every time I visit.”

When Covington was looking for a place to open his deli, he wanted a different dining experience for the valley. “We wanted to have an upscale look with a comfortable feel,” Covington said adding that the deli’s design was inspired by stores that once lined Hemet’s streets over 100 years ago. “I looked at several different locations, but I was drawn to the historic Nevins Building on Harvard Street.” He chose to open the deli on Harvard Street because of the area’s history and atmosphere. “Our building was originally built in the 1890s. It predates most of the downtown structures,” he said. “Harvard Street is where Hemet began more than a century ago. It was the go-to street for all early residents’ needs. It’s rewarding to see that come true again and to be part of the downtown area’s rebirth. We wanted to honor the history and significance of our building properly and keep the design and theme consistent to what one might have seen 100 years ago.” Covington kept a classic design with casement trim on the walls, subway tile, and the original ceiling heights. Community service, charity, and local involvement is key to Covington’s success “We try to donate and help our community whenever we can,” Covington said, “whether it be a donation to a student or an organization.” The deli sponsors the new Ramona Bowl’s All-Star Band, which took a group of high school band members to London to participate in their New Year’s Day parade. “That was their first year and we loved helping them make their international debut,” Covington said. Linda Nunez, founder of Veterans Alliance of Southern California said that the deli is always there to help veterans in need. “Not only does Downtown Deli offer a different daily special of all their most popular sandwiches, they have never turned me down for a veteran in need, a special event that needed a donated sandwich platter or their delicious coffee,” she said. “Steve has even welcomed homeless veterans into his shop, fed them and

Downtown Deli and Coffee Company expanding Because of the sandwich shop’s popularity, Covington said the deli’s expansion was needed to increase its capacity and to keep their existing customers happy and feeling welcome. Once renovations are completed in August, customers will be greeted by a soaring, antique brick wall, which has already been completely restored to its 1890s condition. “The focal point inside the deli will definitely be our two-sided fireplace where customers will be able to gather for coffee and lunch. The custom-designed fireplace has already been added to the deli’s existing side. We wanted to offer a place where customers will want to sit, relax and spend more time,” Covington said. An outdoor patio will also be added during the expansion and will be the first phase of an entertainment and retail courtyard that will connect the rear of each of the businesses on the block. As a business owner, Covington understands the importance of staying relevant and is always looking for new and exciting ways to deliver the best product available. To expand their food offerings, Covington is working on several new artisan sandwich selections. Fresh

pesto, ciabatta rolls, spinach, sprouts, mozzarella and Gouda are just some of the new ingredients planned for the new sandwiches. A true family-run business with a longtime history in the valley Covington’s mother serves as the baker and comes in early every day to bake enough goodies to fill the bakery case, Covington said. “My wife is my biggest support. The deli wouldn’t run properly if it wasn’t for her and I owe her the world for always supporting me,” he said. Covington, whose family has been in Riverside County since WWII said he thinks the largest part of the deli’s success is its customers, many of whom have taken to calling Downtown Deli the city’s version of the old TV show “Cheers.” “We treat all our friends in the community the way we want to be treated,” said Covington, who grew up in the valley. “We wouldn’t be able to do this without the help of our family. It’s a family affair. Hemet is our home and we are determined to do our part to keep it that way,” he said. Downtown Deli & Coffee Company is open seven days a week and is located on 113 North Harvard Street, Hemet, California. They can be contacted at (951) 929-1521.

Local, invaluable benefits of Julie Reeder PUBLISHER

Honey has been enjoyed both as a sweetener and for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. It’s been used for soaps, creams and cosmetics. It’s great for cooking, mixes well in baked goods, salad dressings, tea and pairs well with cheeses, fruit, yogurts, etc. Did you know there were 2,000 year old vats of sealed honey found in King Tut’s tomb? The honey is believed to still be edible. Honey is the only food produced by insects that humans can eat. It’s the only food item created with the sole purpose of being stored. Why? Since bees need to eat during the winter, and plants aren’t flowering, they needed a food source that wouldn’t spoil after a few months. They needed something non-perishable (at least for a year or so) and nutritious — they needed honey. During its production, the bees slightly overcompensate, creating a nutritious food that has the potential to last for hundreds of years or more. No other food source is created this way and we now know that in addition to its great taste and medicinal purposes, it contains great nutrition. Is all honey equal? No. Local raw honey is the best. Our

area produces some wonderfully rich and tasteful honey, including orange blossom and sage. The very best raw honey will also be organic – beekeepers must adhere to very strict regulation in order to be certified organic. While it’s hard to pin down an exact definition of “raw” honey, a label that says “untreated” or “unpasteurized” may be an indication, but not a guarantee. The words “natural” or “pure” don’t mean anything in regards to honey processing. Many beekeepers consider honey raw only if it has not been heated above 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it is heated above 105 degrees, the consistency Honey is the only changes along with the taste. Pasteurized food produced honey is heated to inby insects that crease shelf life and prevent crystallization. humans can eat. It can be heated to 161 degrees or higher and at that point, many of its beneficial properties are compromised. Raw honey typically contains small

wax particles and pollen. Honey in its purest raw form is alkalinizing in the stomach and contains amylase, an enzyme that helps break down foods containing starch. Strained honey, also known as filtered honey, has had the particles removed, but not the pollen. Much of the honey found in grocery stores may contain corn syrup or cane sugar. In order to test your honey to see if it is unadulterated, combine a tablespoon of honey to a cup of water and see if it dissolves easily. Real honey doesn’t dissolve very easily in water. Or, place a cotton wick in a tablespoon of honey and light it. Honey will burn. Bee pollen also is very valuable. It is the male seed of a flower blossom, collected by honey bees and combined with the insects’ digestive enzymes. It’s considered by many as a perfect superfood because it’s so highly assimilable, and its nourishment, containing nearly all nutrients humans need to thrive, including protein. It is 40 percent protein, with about half in the form of free amino acids that are ready to be used directly by the body. It’s even richer in protein than any animal source and contains more amino acids than beef, eggs

or cheese of equal weight. In addition to the luxurious benefits of honey bee products, bees are so important to our agricultural area for pollenization. Did you know that each bee visits 50 to 100 flowers during a collection trip? And they do it for free! More than 85 percent of the Earth’s food system relies on pollinators to exist. Albert Einstein is credited with saying, “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left.” The honeybee population of the planet has been in steady decline since the 1940s. There has been much written about it, being commonly referred to as colony collapse disorder (CCD). During the winter of 2012/2013 it is believed that there was a 30 percent loss in honeybee colonies. Researchers are working to identify the problem and rectify it. Some of the possible cul-

prits are believed to be pesticides, pathogens, parasites or environmental stressors. Some believe it may also have something to do with wireless signals confusing their communication systems. Whatever the cause, what can you do to promote healthy bee activity? Create wildflower areas for bees and adopt less aggressive, less pesticide-intensive practices, especially the use of pesticides with neonicotinoids. This way we can contributing to the health and beauty of our area – nutritionally and agriculturally!

It happened again this week. First, there was elation, then gratitude, then exuberance. We were hugging. She was giggling and thanking me and I was congratulating her and we were both a little weepy. Then she went mute and I saw the look flash across her face. I have seen that look before many times. I’ve even made it myself a time or two. Back in the day, I might have mistaken it for seller’s remorse. Now I know better. It’s packing panic and it is debilitating. There is no cure but its effects can be minimized. Here’s how: If you are the seller and you worked with a proactive agent, you have already done the first tier packing. Family photos, collections and many of your books have been boxed up so your home shows larger and is less personalized. You, lucky mover, may now mosey on over to point two. If you are a first time buyer or a seller who wasn’t encouraged to do first tier packing at a listing appointment, start here. Anything and everything that is strictly decorative can be packed up immediately,

even if you have a 60-day escrow ahead of you. If a major holiday is due to occur between right now and when you move, leave those decorations out, but only if decorating for that holiday is more important to you than a less-stressful move. Pack out of season clothes and equipment. Granted, we don’t have that many seasons in San Diego, but if your family is like mine there are ski clothes, snowboards, parkas and mittens that get worn once or twice a year. Pack those up and label the boxes on at least 4 sides so you don’t accidentally include them in the ‘Urgent to Unpack pile’ at your new place. Thin the herd. You can’t pack all your clothes, linens, or kitchen utensils just yet, but you can and should start to thin the herd. Box up half of everything you have. If you have twenty sweaters, pack ten. Write on each box whose room it will go in at the new place and exactly what is in the box (i.e. Clara’s room: sweaters, shoes, and exercise clothes). Thin it again. Yup, it was tough to get by with only ten sweaters but it’s time to go down to five. You’re moving soon, and you’re just going to have to make do. Same with pots and pans and cotton balls and

purses and anything and everything else you own. At this point, you have less than 25 percent of your stuff left to pack. You’ve handled the decorative stuff that can be especially time consuming to pack. You’ve crated up the off-season stuff and you’ve reduced everything else by 75 percent. You’re going to be fine. As you pack up the last 25 percent of everything, write “U2U” for Urgent to Unpack on it. If you held off on packing it this long, you’re probably going to want to unpack it pretty promptly so make it easy to do so. Every move is different. You may have three months to move or three weeks to move. You may be packing up a college dorm or a ten-room mansion, so I’m not in a position to tell you what to pack on day 29 of your transition. The above is an overview, not a recipe, but if you follow it you just may find your packing panic has gone into remission and you are once again able to giggle. Happy packing!

Importance of having a Real Estate Team by your side

John Occhi and Mike Mason SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

As exciting the prospect of buying a new home, especially if it’s your first one, can be downright scary…not to mention stressful. This is the largest purchase you’ll probably ever make in your lifetime (except for your new home, which will cost even more). You have years of your future on the line when making the decisions you’ll be making in the process, so it’s critically important to find the right “Team” of professionals who know what they are doing and have mastered the entire real estate acquisition process. The right team will not only have your best interests at heart but may actually save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on short term repairs and other costs and more throughout the life of your ownership. Let’s take a look at who you want on your team… Credit Expert: A credit expert should be the first member of your team and should be sought out a year before you think you are ready to buy. A good credit expert will start with a consultation after pulling and analyzing your credit profile, with an emphasis on raising your FICO Score. A FICO Score is the result of a complex propriety algorithm that each of the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) maintain on virtually every adult living in this country, with very few exceptions. While there is no exact known formula for how each bureau does their own calculation they all follow the same general guidelines that focus on how you pay your bills, although it is much more complicated than that. A credit expert will be able to assess your unique scenario and provide you guidance on the things that you can do to improve your credit score as well as offer assistance in correcting errors using their understanding of the federal laws governing the credit reporting bureaus. When looking for a reputable credit expert it is always best to work with someone that has been referred after a successful outcome. Be careful, because as there are many trustworthy credit experts around, there are always going to be the unscrupulous companies in this “lightly” regulated industry. A trusted mortgage broker typically will have someone to recommend that has helped many clients qualify for a better loan. Remember, the

higher your FICO score, the better your loan and the less you’ll be paying every month. Mortgage Broker: A mortgage broker is a lender that represents many lenders with many different loan programs. A good mortgage broker will be able to review your situation and understand all of the nuances of your scenario and have you pre-qualified with a lender who will offer you the absolute best loan that you’ll qualify for. It’s important to remember that loans are never as simple as a basic set of guidelines that you can just check off. Each lender specializes in providing a loan that others can’t, making them unique. They create their own guidelines to the established federal guidelines, adding their own level of conditions. These are referred to as ‘overlays.’ The alternative to a mortgage broker is working with a mortgage banker which is a single bank with a single set of loan options. Individual banks are typically more conservative and may not have the lowest interest rates or reduced down payment options. Mortgage bankers may also not be participating in all of the government programs available and may not be aware of local down-payment assistance or other programs to promote local home ownership. REALTOR® - Your REALTOR® is a member of the national, state and local association of REALTORS® and not just another licensed real estate agent. Unlike a real estate agent, a REALTOR®

is bound by a demanding Code of Ethics that protect the consumer. In addition, as a REALTOR®, chances are that they are better educated with the continual education opportunities that are presented at all three levels of membership. REALTORS® are also usually better connected with their peers and able to network and connect with other real estate professionals in either finding the right problem or the solution to a unique problem. Many believe that a REALTOR® (or real estate agents) earns their money by finding a home or a buyer for a home they have listed. Yes, it’s true, that’s part of what we do but just a small portion, that’s actually the fun part of the job. To do this part, we need to constantly study the local market as well as state and national trends to see how they affect us locally. We need to know the value of real estate. Marketing is another critical skill set. It doesn’t matter if a REALTOR® is marketing a new listing to attract buyers or a ‘Buyers Agent’ is marketing to find new buyers to work with – if a REALTOR® can’t market, it doesn’t matter how much they know about the market with the level of competition amongst REALTORS® today. The meat and potatoes of what a REALTOR® does to earn their keep is not to get a home into escrow but to get it out of escrow. There are so many different people and personalities involved in every escrow that there have to be 50 or more common reasons as to why a home will fall out of escrow, once a

RCWD moves to Drought Stage 3c, restoring customers Efficient Water Budget ences. First, it follows the State Water Resources Control Board’s decision in May to revise Emergency Conservation Regulations resulting from improved water supply conditions in the northern part of the state. Secondly, the RCWD relies on local groundwater for 40 percent of its supply and this source remains stressed as the southern part of the state has had multiple years of below average rainfall. “Our customers have done a tremendous job this past year to reduce water usage,” said Jeff Armstrong, general manager. “Since

July 2015 our customers have reduced 28 percent, compared to 2013 usage. However, the need to continue to be water use efficient remains especially throughout the hot summer months ahead as the long-term drought is still not over.” Stage 3c will give residential and landscape customers their full tier 1 and tier 2 efficient budget. Tier 3 (the inefficient tier) is eliminated. Therefore, customers who go over their efficient budget will go directly to tier 4 and pay the highest price for water. For more information on Stage 3c please visit the drought page at ranchowater.com.

The move will restore residential, landscape, agricultural, and commercial customer’s efficient budgets to 100 percent and will continue to encourage customers to use water efficiently. The Board also voted to remove the drought penalty charges that were added to tier 4. The Board’s decision to move to Stage 3c balances two major influ-

This is where the REALTOR® earns their money and their reputation for getting the job done. Home Inspector: Every home in escrow should be independently inspected by a home inspector who has no motivation other than to tell you what they see right and wrong with the home. No one wants to move into a home to find a host of issues that could have been avoided altogether.

Get the Dirt on Deep Cleaning

Fresh air and an allergen-reduced environment are important aspects of a healthy home.

FAMILY FEATURES – A deep clean is a surefire way to freshen up your home. In order to create a cleaner, healthier household environment, you need to be sure you’re using the right methods and tools to get the job done. Fresh air and an allergen-reduced environment are important aspects of a healthy home. These

tips will help create and maintain a clean and healthy home without harsh chemicals or toxins by minimizing the presence of dust – which is comprised of plant pollen, human and animal hairs, textile and paper fibers, soil minerals, human skin cells and other materials that can be found in the local environment.

Getty Images photo

Scrub with good sense. Not all cleaning agents are created equal. For example, those containing chlorine cannot only damage your eyes, but also lead to a host of respiratory problems. Many experts also believe fragrant sprays and cleansers can pose a risk. Opt instead for natural cleansing agents or make your own at home

using ingredients such as peroxide, baking soda or vinegar. Always be sure to test a small area to avoid discoloration or other damage. Focus on flooring. If you enjoy the cushy feel of carpet under your feet, commit to extra cleaning to keep dust mites and other offenders at bay. Rely on a high-powered, filtration bag vacuum, such as the Oreck Elevate Collection of lightweight, easy-to-maneuver uprights, which not only trap dirt, dust and allergens at 99 percent, even non-visible particles, but also remove more of them upon disposal without reintroducing them back into the air in your home. Keep appliances sparkling. Not only can dust and dirt hide underneath refrigerators, stoves, washers and dryers, but food splatter and unpleasant odors can often be lingering as well. Microwaving a wet washcloth or bowl of water for a few minutes can help loosen any stuck-on food and make it easier to wipe down the interior with warm, soapy water. And pouring a capful of vinegar where you would place detergent in your dishwasher or washing machine before running an empty cycle can help eliminate odors and remove hard water deposits. Improve air quality. Don’t just clean surfaces; clean the air to catch dust before it settles.

Experts, including those at the Environmental Protection Agency, have found that indoor air can actually be up to five times dirtier than the air outdoors. Keep your indoor air clean with an air purifier such as the Oreck Air Refresh twoin-one air purifier and humidifier, which gives you more control over the quality of air you breathe by removing 99 percent of unwanted dust, allergens and odors while simultaneously adding moisture to the air and managing humidity in dry home environments. And, the humidifier lets you avoid the dry skin, static electricity and itchy eyes and throat that are often attributed to rooms that lack moisture. Launder your linens. When you’re working to rid your home of potential dirt, dust and allergens, it can be easy to overlook linens and upholstery. However, curtains, bedding, throw pillows and even your furniture cushions can accumulate a layer of film you don’t even realize is there. Make it a regular practice to wash linens in hot water and steam clean cushions to part with unwanted particles. With the correct products and practices, you can give your home the true refresh it needs. Find more products to help create a fresher, cleaner and healthier home at oreck.com.

EVMWD Board approves Stage 3a mandatory water restrictions LAKE ELSINORE – In response to the recent changes by the State Water Resources Control Board regarding supply conditions combined with significant saving efforts by customers, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Board of Directors unanimously approved and implemented the move from a Stage 4a to Stage 3a of its Water Shortage Contingency Plan, allowing customers some relief, but maintaining water efficiency standards. “Our customers are to be commended for responding to the Governor’s call to action during California’s historic drought,” said Phil Williams, president of the board of directors. “With years of proactive planning and investments, EVMWD is able to ease conservation demands on our customers, while still being prudent with water supplies.” Over the past year, EVMWD has taken proactive measures to

guarantee supplies during dry times. EVMWD invested $10 million of its reserve funds to expand its local water supply options and is building several new drinking water wells over the next few years that will help alleviate some of our region’s dependence on expensive imported water. In addition, EVMWD is utilizing its recycled water supply for irrigation purposes in and around our community. Because of these practical steps that EVMWD has taken to ensure supplies, our customers will now benefit from less restrictive conservation measures. With the passing of Stage 3a, customers will no longer have to pay the surcharge that was previously imposed on all customers in Stage 4a. The elimination of the surcharge will go into effect immediately and customers will notice the change on their water bill in July. Other water saving measures remain intact or

reduced. “It is important that we maintain some water use efficiency measures, as the future of the drought is uncertain,” said John Vega, general manager for Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District. “Elimination of water waste is critical for long term efficiency and the restrictions that are now in place will likely become the new normal.” Under the new Stage 3a restrictions, customers will be allowed to water any three days during a week. Other restrictions for water use required of EVMWD customers are as follows: Water Use Prohibitions: • Washing down sidewalks or driveways • Watering during or within 48 hours after a rain event. • Overwatering, causing water to run off of a landscaped area • Filling, refilling or adding water

HSJVC Awards Gala promises evening of networking fun, variety of entertainment Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

The Hemet San Jacinto Valley Chamber of Commerce will host its 15th annual Awards Gala Friday, June 24. Held at the Lodge at Four Seasons, the event will feature a Champagne reception, annual awards and live entertainment. Those in attendance can expect the annual awards presentation, in addition to the Champagne Reception, installation of our new board

of directors and a fine plated dinner,” Chamber President and Chief Executive Officer Andy Anderson said, adding that Assemblywoman Melissa Melendez will install the new board. International Illusionist Anders Hansen will provide the entertainment for the “elegant gala” which has a semi formal dress code, Anderson said. “Anders Hansen is a master of deception with two decades of experience as an international

illusionist. He has appeared on national television in Europe, North and South America and headlined on cruise ships around the world,” Anderson said. For over a decade, Hansen has been producing, designing and performing magical illusions, mainly in his home country of Denmark and throughout Europe. Currently based in Miami, Florida, Hansen said that “magic is about inspiring, uplifting and touching the spark in all of us that says “what if...?”

Murrieta Chamber proposes 2016-17 board of directors Paul Bandong STAFF WRITER

MURRIETA, CA – The Murrieta Chamber of Commerce will be selecting its new Board of Directors for the 2016-17 term. A proposed ballot has been presented, however, any member wishing to add his or her name to the ballot must do so by June 26, 2016. These are unpaid volunteer positions whose function is to set policy, guide the workings of the Chamber, and provide advice and accountability for the chief executive and staff. The Chamber exists to build and promote community that attracts visitors, businesses, residents and investors as well as to promote economic prosperity

through a pro-business agenda and networking activities. The Murrieta Chamber enjoys a close working relationship with the city of Murrieta and is one of the two largest, most active and fastest-growing chambers in the area. Returning members for a second term include Jason Hope from JD Promotions and Connie Lynch, CEO of Southwest Riverside County Association of Realtors. Proposed new Board members include, Jared Horricks from Loma Linda University Medical Center Murrieta, Mitch Crimson from Harrah’s Resort Southern California, Ciara Vera from Waste Management, Tanya Tabrizizadeh from Denny’s Restaurant, Michael Fisher from SCORE, and Karen

Summers from Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. For a name to be added to the ballot for Murrieta Chamber Board of Directors, a petition with the name of the candidate plus supporting signatures of 10 members in good standing with the Chamber, must be submitted to the Chamber office no later than June 26, 2016. Petition forms are available at the Murrieta Chamber office, 25125 Madison Avenue, Suite 108, Murrieta, CA 92562. Should no other names be submitted by the deadline, the slate of candidates submitted above will be considered elected. Questions about the election process should be directed to Patrick Ellis, President/CEO of the Murrieta Chamber, (951) 677-7916.

Ever since, one of his shows produced in Denmark was reviewed as “The best magic seen in Denmark to this date,” Hansen has participated in countless TV performances as well as worked to develop material for TV production companies, LIVE events, corporate shows, consultant jobs in movies, theatre plays as well as many other functions as part of our former Danish duo “Star Magi.” “My career has been a journey, a never-ending train ride - in which many dreams have come true. Because I believe that we do shape our own reality and create our own dreams, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to convey through my performances,” Hansen wrote on his Facebook page. “Sometimes I cheat though, using my skills that 16 years in the field of theatrical magic and illusion has blessed me with. But I do feel a deeper sense of connection within and certainly also with my audiences. I feel very blessed to be in the position

I am in.” Also on tap for the event is what Anderson called an “entertaining video” starring some of the board and chamber members as well as music by members of the Inland Valley Youth Orchestra. Diners will have the option of roast beef, Barcelona chicken or vegetarian fettucine Alfredo. Man of the Year, Woman of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Large Business of the Year, Non Profit of the Year, Business Beautification Award, New Business of the Year, Restaurant of the Year and the Customer Service Award will all be announced during the event. The Lodge at Four Seasons is located at 237 Four Seasons Blvd. in Hemet. For more information, call (951) 658-3211.

Supervisors approve plot plan for Sky Canyon Drive church Joe Naiman WRITER

The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has approved a plot plan for a church in the 38900 block of Sky Canyon Drive. The supervisors’ 4-0 vote April 26, with John Tavaglione absent, authorizes a 22,700 square foot single-story church facility along with 196 parking spaces. The supervisors also adopted a resolution overriding the Airport Land Use Commission’s determination that the plot plan is inconsistent with ALUC guidelines. The church facility will be completed in two phases. The first phase will construct a church building totaling 20,000-squarefeet in size which will include a 2,984 square foot chapel, a 2,705 square foot cultural center, classrooms, offices and auxiliary rooms. The second phase will add 2,700-square-feet to the building with the additional square footage being used for offices. The 4.04-acre property has Community Development: Commercial Retail zoning, but it is 4,650 feet from the southern end of French Valley Airport. The French Valley Airport compatibility guidelines include a maximum single-acre intensity of 80 people, and in June 2013 the ALUC found the project inconsistent with its guidelines. Section 21676.5 of the California Public Utilities Code allows a local government to override an ALUC inconsistency determination if the board makes findings that the project is consistent with the purposes of the State Aeronautics Act. In May 2014 the Board of Supervisors directed staff to prepare draft findings and conclusions. The draft

NEWS

resolution prepared by county staff in July 2014 noted that a normally incompatible use may be consistent with the Riverside County Airport Land Use Compatibility Policy Plan Document if that site is actually compatible due to terrain, specific location, or other site-specific circumstances. The site is surrounded by existing mixed industrial, office, and showroom uses to the north, commercial retail uses to the west, and a 16,558 square foot church to the south. There are no structures immediately to the east where an open storm water runoff channel collects water runoff from the hills to the north. Sky Canyon Drive is 76 feet wide from curb to curb and has no overhead wires, and the frontage area has only one street light so a light aircraft could utilize Sky Canyon Drive if an emergency landing is needed. The seating capacity of the church’s chapel is approximately 286 fixed seats. The gross acreage which includes street frontage is 4.41 acres, which equates to an average intensity of 65 people-peracre, and the nonservice activities during the week are not expected to bring more than 75 people to the church at one time. The church building will have a full brick exterior with limited windows and no skylights, and double-paned windows will be installed to mitigate noise. The draft resolution was submitted to the ALUC and to the state Division of Aeronautics for comments, and in June 2015 a revised draft resolution was submitted to the ALUC and the state.

Teen dies in collision in unincorporated area of Temecula Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

A 17-year-old from El Cajon was killed in the early morning hours Sunday, June 12, following a collision in the unincorporated area of Temecula near the intersection of Murrieta Hot Springs Road just

east of Inverness Way, the California Highway Patrol reported Monday. According to a press release issued by the agency, the unidentified teen was driving a 1990 Honda Accord westbound on the eastbound lanes of Murrieta Hot Springs Road with no lights on

when it struck the second vehicle, a 2010 Ford F-150 pickup truck at about 1:20 a.m. “The collision caused major damage to both vehicles,” CHP Officer Mike Lassig wrote in a press release. According to Lassig, the teen was not wearing a seat belt and

sustained major injuries, the driver of the pickup truck, 45-year-old Timothy Richmond of Murrieta, sustained minor injuries. “Both parties were transported to Inland Valley Medical Center,” Lassig wrote. The teen later succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The California Highway Patrol, Temecula Area is conducting this traffic collision investigation and anyone with any information regarding the incident should call the California Highway Patrol’s Temecula office at (951) 506-2000. Callers can remain anonymous.

One seen injured in Temecula rollover traffic accident Trevor Montgomery WRITER

City of Temecula fire, police and AMR personnel responded to the scene of a rollover traffic accident

that occurred near the intersection of Margarita and Winchester Roads. The accident was reported to Riverside County emergency communications dispatchers at about 6:25 p.m. Friday, June 10.

The first deputy from the Riverside County Sheriff’s Temecula Police Station arrived less than one minute after the initially dispatched call and reported a female inside the vehicle was complaining of a back injury.

He requested fire, paramedics, and additional deputies to continue to the location to assist the injured driver. Traffic on both roads immediately began to back up with rush-hour commuters as emergency first responders

began to arrive at the location. It was not immediately known if there were any passengers inside the rolled vehicle or if any other vehicles were involved.

Men arrested for alleged bank employee extortion HEMET – Two men were arrested on suspicion of extortion in Hemet, authorities said Saturday, June 11. Steve Petro, 43, and Danny Sales, 34, both of Hemet, were booked

at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning after they allegedly threatened a bank employee for money around 11 a.m. Friday in the 1700 block of Florida Avenue, Hemet

police said. Petro told the employee that he would tell police that the employee molested Petro’s daughter if he didn’t hand over a large sum of money, po-

lice said. The employee gave $10,000 to Petro. Bank officials became suspicious and called the police when Sales attempted the same process moments later, police said.

The men were arrested after officers located their car in the parking lot with the help of the bank employee.

uled a felony settlement conference for July 12 at the Southwest Justice Center in Murrieta. Officers raided Nguyen’s residence on the morning of April 13 after serving a search warrant at the property where they seized more than 1,400 marijuana plants in various stages of growth. Reid alleged that Nguyen had re-configured electrical circuits to bypass meters and enable him to siphon enough power to keep dozens of sun lights running 24 hours a day for the benefit of the grow.
