The Riverside Board of Supervisors convened Tuesday, June 21, to take public comments on the voting irregularities that transpired during the primary election June 7. Many of the speakers who shared impassioned anecdotes of troubles at the polls were members of the Our Votes Count Riverside effort, which had staged a demonstration outside the Riverside County Board of Supervisors before the meeting. Speakers underscored that their fundamental right to vote had been violated in the primary election. Prior to the public comments portion of the meeting, the board called Riverside County Registrar of Voters Rebecca Spencer to the podium. Spencer pointed toward trouble with the ballot vendor as a main culprit in the voting irregularities voters experienced on Election Day. “Our official ballot vendor did not finish distributing ballots until

Sgt. Major Thomas helps Camp Pendleton personnel ‘Stay Moto’ Tom Ferrall STAFF WRITER

On Thursdays and Fridays, people entering Camp Pendleton through Fallbrook’s Naval Weapons Station gate don’t have a choice – they’re going to get a dose of “Moto.” “Moto” is the abbreviation Marine Sgt. Major Mykul Thomas (Ret.) uses for motivation, a word he lives by. Motivating people to have a great day is what motivates Thomas to stand at the gate from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., every Thursday and Friday, checking credentials and delivering motivational words to everyone who drives into the Marine Corps base via Ammunition Road. To witness Thomas in action – twisting around to wave his hand at people who honk or give him a shoutout while leaving the base Federal Police Officer Mykul Thomas gives every person passing through the Ammunition Road gate onto Camp Pendleton a smile as he checks identification.

Local singer Maddie Leigh shines bright on Nashville stage Natalie Witt VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Not many high schoolers are able to say that they rocked a stage in Nashville, Tennessee, but country starlet Maddie Leigh can. The singing phenomenon has visited the country music heartland since the young age of 9, booking performances at world famous venues like the Bluebird Cafe and Jed’s Nashville. Unlike some other country singers, Leigh prefers the traditional sound of country music, but ties in newer aspects to her music which is seen in her lyrics and heard in her voice. Last month, Leigh kicked off the summer by showcasing her hot debut single, “Wishing,” at Tin Roof in Nashville. By the time Leigh was on her flight heading back to her hometown Temecula, she had already recorded two new songs, “Just Your Kind of Girl” and “Some Will Call it Love,” which will both be released soon. Ever since Leigh first traveled to the “Capital of Country Music,” she instantly fell in love with it and her passion for music became apparent. Since the very beginning, her parents have supported all of her musical endeavors. “My parents supported me through every aspect of singing which is not very easy to do,” she explained; “and I’m very blessed to have them as parents.” Leigh found that a love for country music came naturally to her because of

her father’s American roots and the personal connection she developed uniquely with country lyrics. She explained, “It stays true to the American values and traditions. My dad was in the Marine Corps, so that’s one of the reasons that I love (country music); it has a lot of American pride in it.” Leigh’s musical aspirations stemmed from joining the St. Martha Catholic Church choir in Murrieta at 9-years-old. As she became increasingly devoted to singing, Leigh decided she wanted her voice to be heard on a much broader scale and began singing competitively in competitions judged by music organizations such as the West Coast Country Music Association and the North American Country Music Association International. The singing sensation has earned distinguished recognitions each year since she began competitively performing. She has won acclaim for titles including “New Country Female Vocalist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year,” as well as “Most Promising Entertainer of the Year.” This year, the West Coast Country Music Association named Leigh the 2016 Traditional Country “Female Entertainer of the Year” for her age group. YouTube has also helped Leigh expand her audience. Her channel consists of incredible covers of various inspirational country artists, including her idols, Martina McBride and Kelsea Ballerini. The music video for her first single,

“Wishing,” is also on her YouTube channel. The inspiration behind the song was for those who were once in a relationship and regretted breaking up, “wishing they could go back to happier times. “Wishing” is now available on multiple media platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, CD, iHeart Radio and YouTube Music. One can also watch it on her newly launched website, maddieleighofficial.com where she has also posted her upcoming tour dates. Leigh often performs locally, at Old Town Temecula’s The Merc and Baily’s, Murrieta’s Franklin’s Cove, and Del Mar’s San Diego County Fair. Leigh enjoys living in Temecula and even relates the overall vibe and community setting of Temecula to that of Nashville, saying, “It is a nice community and a lot of people have the same interest in country music. It is actually very similar to Temecula.” As far as her exciting future with music, Leigh said, “My goals with music are to help people feel better. Music can make a bad day better and it can help those who feel helpless, be strong.” She dreams of one day being signed to a label and performing at the Grand Ole Opry, a famous country music venue in Nashville. As for the remainder of the summer, Leigh will be performing at the San Diego County Fair in Del Mar July 2 and July 4. One can also catch her at The Merc in Temecula, Aug. 20.

An Early California Fourth of July Bonnie Martland SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

General Andres Pico, brother of the last Mexican governor of California, at one time had designs on acquiring a land grant to the Temecula Valley. It didn’t happen but he acquired several others in its stead. In the 1830s the Mexican government secularized the California missions and granted away mission lands. The year 1856 found General Pico living on the lands and buildings of the secularized Mission San Fernando. In the special collections of the University of California, Irvine is a memoir of a man who as a young boy spent a special Fourth of July at General Pico’s mission rancho in 1856. It imparts the special memories he retained of that holiday, but also gives us a glimpse into earlier California. “In 1856 while attending school at the home of Mr. Wm. Wolfskill I had the pleasure of being one of a party of school boys who were, with their teachers, invited to spend a week at the San Fernando mission as the guests of Gen. Andres Pico who then occupied the mission as a home. Our teacher Mr. H.D. Burrows, and Mr. McKee who taught at the only public school in Los Angeles were invited with a few of the older boys. “We went out on the 2d of July and on the Fourth we had a rodeo, which was a source of great entertainment to all the boys as we were allowed to take part in it as far as our skill permitted.” During the week, the boy wrote, “We were all furnished with … saddle horses and had great sport helping the ranch vaqueros…The long rides after the stock on spirited horses was in itself all that the heart of a western boy could desire.” He described General Pico’s lifestyle. “He lived in a luxurious style and had a large household of trained servants, mostly Indians. Like the grandee that he was, he

entertained lavishly. His silver and china service made a brilliant display. His household furnishings were plain, but massive and luxurious. The plain old mission furniture was retained and more ornate pieces had been added. Dinners consisted of 5 to 6 course. Two young Indian boys said grace and served as waiters clad in the simple white tunic of the day.” He describes how they were “delightfully entertained” at the midday and evening meals and in the evening by native musicians playing the “dreamy old Spanish airs.” He felt this was one of the most enjoyable features of the day. “After the noon dinner all work was suspended for the customary 2 hour siesta” in the cool thick-walled adobe rooms. Great pleasure was expressed in describing the surrounding orchards and the beautiful fountains, gardens and colonnades of the old mission. He described meeting Don Jose Maria Romero who was quite old at the time and who had been the major domo during the mission period and who told stories of the

old prosperous mission days. “The mission stock in that day pastured not only upon the whole valley of the San Fernando, but on the San Francisquito as well and over the mountains in the Santa Clara Valley.” And he always spoke with pride of the horses of San Fernando. “Whatever the doubts as to the Pico title,” our student concludes, “Ï cannot say, but the General took good care of the buildings and the orchards during his occupation and he surely knew how to entertain his friends, and the boys committed to their tutelage.” It is clear that this young student enjoyed a very memorable 1856 Fourth of July holiday. The Temecula Valley Historical Society invites visitors to join them Monday, June 27, from 6-7 p.m. to meet our Temecula and Murrieta High School scholarship awardees at the Little Temecula History Center, in the red barn next to Kohl’s in south Temecula at the corner of Wolf Store Road and Redhawk Parkway. There is no charge to attend the programs. Visitors are welcome.

Assemblywoman Waldron to introduce voter record security bill TEMECULA – During the primary election cycle in Riverside County hundreds of voter record abnormalities were identified by investigators and it was exacerbated on Election Day, when voters whose records were altered without their knowledge were not offered to vote a provisional ballot. These voters were disenfranchised at the polls until the Riverside County D.A. sent out investigators to make sure provi-

sional ballots were provided. It is clear from the initial investigation that party identifications had been altered online without consent and voters were denied the use of provisional ballots. In an effort to address this serious issue, 75th District Assemblywoman Marie Waldron (R-Escondido), has announced she would be introducing legislation to protect the voting records of individuals. “With new technology advance-

ments come new levels of fraud and abuse,” Waldron said. “My legislation will update process and protections for voters in the new digital age.” Assemblywoman Marie Waldron, represents the 75th Assembly District in the California Legislature, which includes the communities of Bonsall, Escondido, Fallbrook, Hidden Meadows, Rainbow, San Marcos, Temecula, Valley Center and Vista.

Menifee adopts budget for 2015/2016 fiscal year

During regular meeting public comments, citizen Carl Besson discusses the way that people are trashing Menifee and tells Council, “we can’t have that folks.” Jacob Preal photo

Jacob Preal WRITER

Menifee City Council approved its budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal year through the adoption of resolution June 15. City staff cut as many unnecessary funding items as possible in order to allow the city to function with what officials re-

ferred to as projected low revenue. In order to meet the deficit, council authorized $2.4 million to be drawn from the budget reserves. The amount of annual charges for landscape and lighting maintenance and the levy and collection of charges for the 2016-2017 fiscal year will remain unchanged. City Manager Robert Johnson

Join us this July!

unveiled the budget projection to council, with $2.3 million in reduced expenses this year alone. The city had reduced expenses by $4.7 million in 2015 and according to Johnson, staff takes the bulk of the cuts before city programs and services are removed. Requests from department heads are reviewed but often turned down. “Our department heads do a lot with a little and now they are going to do more with less,” said Johnson. The adopted budget requires cut funding from Planning & Economic Development, including the military banner program, the Business Park Plan Phase I, the McCall Medical Corridor Plan and the Enhanced Infrastructure Finance District Plan Phase I. The Administrative Services Department and Finance Department have also seen cuts, with the city down an IT technician, front desk office assistant, account technician and the City Manager’s Office administrative analyst. The Legacy Workshop Consensus Priorities, as designated by council, directed city staff to focus on economic development, public safety, financial stability, public facilities master plans and policy setting over the next five years. Several projects have been fully

funded, including the Newport Road Overlay from Bradley to Murrieta and the Newport Road widening from Bradley to Haun. These projects will be underway in the 2016-2017 fiscal year. However, the city still seeks $60 million in alternative funding to move all of its projects forward to construction. Staff hopes to have a financing plan for alternative revenue sources that it can present to council in August. “The goal right now that we have as staff is to get every single one of those projects… shelf-ready and ready to obtain the financing so that when we get that financing we’re off and running,” said Johnson. “We’re not going to stop working on the project because we don’t have the funding to build it; we’re going to get the project ready to be built and then we are going to get the funding.” Like others contracting with Riverside County, Menifee is still struggling to finance public safety. As the population rises, so does the need for more officers. Johnson and staff had proposed solutions to the council at an earlier meeting. The council used its authority to create the Community Facilities District, which allows the city to impose a special tax that contributes directly to public safety. With $526 per

dwelling unit and 10,000 possible new homes, the city is projected to generate $5.26 million in revenue. A potential ballot measure for a 1 percent sales tax increase is also in the works. One of the primary contributors of the city’s financial issues continues to be the inability of Menifee to collect on vehicle license fees, according to Johnson. Councilwoman Lesa Sobek shared that SB 817, a senate bill that will restore vehicle license fees to the four cities that are exempt from receiving any revenue from them, passed 38 to 0 and will now be in committee. She, along with the rest of council, encouraged citizens to write letters and make their voices heard. In the past, bills proposed on the subject have remained unsigned by Governor Jerry Brown. “Dare I say, shame on Governor Jerry Brown for not listening to the residents of these four cities,” said Mayor Scott Mann. “And not listening to the unanimous votes of the Senate and the legislature on what will soon be six total bills over the last three years that he would ultimately veto.” After unanimous approval of the budget, Mann adjourned the meeting in honor of the victims in Orlando.

Hemet Sheriff’s Explorer Post takes 1st overall in Las Vegas competition Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Hemet’s Sheriff’s Explorer Post No. 378 competed at the Las Vegas Ex-Con Explorer Competition hosted by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, June 11. The Explorer Post took six Explorers and five advisers to the competition finishing first in the overall competition. “Explorer Post No. 378 did extremely well for this being their second competition,” according to Riverside Sheriff’s Deputy Stephen Enochs.

Two other Temecula residents were given gold medals for wines which did not win first place. John Vigliotti of Temecula entered a bottle of Sangiovese which took second place in its class and was scored high enough for a gold medal. Daniel Kozak received a gold medal score for his cabernet sauvignon bottle which placed third in its category. Sanders took third place in the Tempranillo category, although that

Murrieta launches Volunteer Connection MURRIETA – The city of Murrieta, recently launched an online volunteer network portal known as the Volunteer Connection. “The city’s vision was to bridge the gap between the need for volunteers and the community’s desire to give back to their community,” explained Murrieta’s Assistant City Manager Kim Summers. “Volunteer opportunities will range from assisting with City sponsored special events to getting involved with a local nonprofit organization as well as student and internship projects.” The city and local nonprofits rely heavily on volunteer help and before implementing the Volunteer Connection, the matching of those looking to help and those needing help was very inefficient, according to the city. The tools to manage the events were not specific to the tasks and organizations had to spend precious time advertising, manually compiling email lists, creating volunteer rosters, and mak-

ing contact to coordinate volunteers. Murrieta needed a web-based volunteer recruitment tool that would better serve the community and increase efficiency for the city. As the first step in implementing a centralized online volunteer recruitment tool, staff reviewed several software solutions based on functionality, ease of use and cost. The city of Murrieta wanted a software program that would expand access to volunteers for local events, recurring programs and special projects initiated by the community. Staff selected a web-based software solution that enhances efficiency through robust communication and reporting tools, and online day-of-the-event registration and sign-in. The software also works with Murrieta’s community-based organizations by assigning them registration and login privileges to post and manage their events. This saves city staff time and allows those running

the event to better organize their volunteers. Murrieta gives businesses, nonprofits, and service organizations, which are an integral part of Murrieta’s community, a way to recruit and manage volunteers. Volunteer opportunities will now reach a wider audience through promotions on the city’s newly redesigned website, event outreach booths and annual city publications. Local nonprofit organizations can expand their search for volunteers by using the Volunteer Connection website at www.MurrietaCA.gov/ volunteerconnection. “Residents with a strong community spirit and a willingness to give are what helps make Murrieta the unique and special place that it is,” said Mayor Randon Lane. “This new program will simplify the process of volunteering and help get the needed resources to those who need them most.”

wine did not win a medal. Sanders also entered a Syrah which received a silver medal and a cabernet sauvignon which was given a bronze medal, although neither of those placed. Shallow was awarded silver medals for a bottle of Cabernet Franc and a bottle of Blended Red Bordeaux Varietals, although neither of them placed. DeClerk entered two different Blended Red Rhone Varietals bottles which did not place but were deemed worthy of bronze medals.

Three additional Temecula vintners did not place but were judged worthy of medals. Jeremiah Prough entered three bottles of Fruit Nonstone Sweet wine and won medals for all three with one receiving enough points for a silver medal and the other two being given bronze medals. Daniel Murphy entered a Blended Red Miscellaneous Varietals Dry wine which was awarded a bronze medal. Richard Patterson won a bronze medal for his bottle of merlot.

Murrieta Council mulls increasing development impact fees Tony Ault STAFF WRITER

The Murrieta City Council is facing a difficult decision after a lengthy study by city staff showed the standard Public Facilities Development Impact Fees (DIF) schedule would have to be increased, some significantly, to meet the anticipated growth demands in the city in the next 20 years. City engineers and planners forwarded their 18-month DIF study Tuesday, June 21, at the regular city council meeting. DIF fees are fees charged developers, and passed on to new homeowners, business owners and industries to help pay for the infrastructure needed in new developments. The infrastructure needed for new developments are streets, street lights, curbs, sidewalks, landscaping, park maintenance, and other amenities that would be needed to accommodate the increased population as a result of the

projects. Sometimes it may include a new fire station, police department expansion, school or parkland. The fact that a complete DIF study had not been made in the city since 1998 was brought to the councils’ attention in 2013. Many things have changed since. The city experienced a huge increase in population in far less time than anticipated and a recession. The city now faces buildout of 128,000 people as soon as 2020. This foreseeable problem saw the council in 2015 commission an DIF update study to Willdan Financial Services. The study and recommended updates was completed in April and sent to city staff. The DIF fees if changed may affect the city’s general and capital improvement plans, and in Murrieta’s case involves a freeway overpasses, a parking structure and the development of Old Town Temecula which is now under study. Even of more concern to the present council

is its goal to attract new business and industry to the city to improve the tax base, jobs and the general economy for all city residents. By raising the DIF the council is afraid developers, because of the increased fees, would look elsewhere to build their projects. The Murrieta city engineers and planners, after reviewing the Willdan study and consulting with the Building Industry Association recommended the DIF fees be increased or modified, in the categories of single family units, multifamily units, commercial, office and industrial. The DIF fees for residential units are based on the unit and fees on industrial, commercial and office based on each 1,000 square feet of space used. The study reviewed the future needs in law enforcement, fire protection, streets and bridges, traffic signals, storm drainage, general facilities, open space, park land facilities, community center and a public

library. Parking structures were not included in the needs. To simplify the old plan to the new Willdan eliminated the earlier “rural estate dwellings,” combining it with residential single and multifamily units. The original DIF had the cost for rural estate dwellings at $11,622.55, single family dwellings at $10,287.21 and multifamily dwellings at $6,527.37. The proposed DIF shows a single family unit would be $15,319 and a multifamily unit $10,715 thus averaging out the eliminated rural estate dwellings fee. In the non-residential category there was a big jump in the office category that went from $4,150 to $11,960 per 1,000 square feet. That brought the greatest concern to the council. Commercial went from $11,090 per 1,000 square feet to $11,960, a slight drop. Industrial DIF saw the greatest

drop with the new DIF set at $1,578 per 1,000 square feet from $1,930 per 1,000 square feet. The staff was asked how Murrieta’s DIF rate compared to other cities around them and learned the city was the highest, something that raised the eyebrows of the council. While the staff recommended that the DIF changes connected to the Capital Improvement Plan be approved with a built in escalator insuring developers now in the advanced planning stages or with permits would not be immediately affected by the DIF increases, the council tabled the decision on the CIP to its July 19 meeting. DIF fees are needed to pay for the CIP plans. They seek more information from the city development director Bruce Coleman who was out of town and his staff Tuesday, and how it would affect the city’s development growth plan and more from the BIA on the proposed developer impact fees.

VOTES from page A-1 the Friday before the election. Our normal procedure is to deliver those ballots 10 days before the election, but we only had four or five days,” which Spencer said gave poll workers a limited amount of time to prepare for the primary. The most widely experienced voting irregularity was voters finding their party preference had been

changed without their knowledge. The board meeting comes just days after Riverside District Attorney Mike Hestrin confirmed that unidentifiable hackers were the main culprits in the voter registration changes. Precinct inspector Ramon Mejia found that a number of voters’ registration had been changed, in addition to poorly trained poll workers who were misinformed

about various aspects of the electoral process. “My training was June 4, just a few days prior to the June 7 election,” Mejia said. “There so many issues on Election Day – in my opinion, it was fraud. I know it’s a steep allegation, but we had a lot of problems. We had one man leave in tears. Despite 20 years as a registered Democrat, he was flipped to Republican and vote-by-mail, two

things he had never done.” Riverside resident and poll worker Michael Lampe approached the podium and described his observations from Election Day. “This year there has been an unprecedented level of anger and confusion among the voters about this election,” said Lampe. “I could only help voters if they were listed as No Party Preference or give them a Democratic crossover ballot.” Leader of Our Votes Count Riverside, Fryda Gonzáles cited an issue with misinformation in cards mailed out to No Party Preference voters. “The voters who were No Party Preference and signed up to be a voter by mail were sent a card in which they are indicated to choose the ballot they wanted to use for the primary. However, the discrepancy was in the deadline that the card read,” Gonzáles asserted. The cards that were sent out informed that the deadline to request a voter-by-mail ballot was April 22, when the deadline to submit a ballot was not until May 31, over a month later. This sort of mistake on the county’s part disenfranchises voters, Gonzáles and many of the members of Our Votes Count Riverside believe. Spencer argued that the No Party Preference, or NPP, card is sent out to all voters who have been registered in the system as NPP. The card’s deadline read April 22 because ballots are allowed to be mailed to voters starting May 9. Spencer says in order to make the May 9 deadline they had to inquire which ballot the NPP voters would need to vote. Spencer also mentioned that some of the 100,000 NPP cards were sent out after the April 22 deadline due to a change in vendors by the county. Onto the next irregularity, Gonzáles held up a stack of spiral

bound booklets and a few CD discs to emphasize the dense amount of material volunteer poll workers had to familiarize themselves with in a matter of just a few hours. Dr. Martha J. Peters then took to the podium to emphasize the need for voting reform to eliminate the voting irregularities. “We can easily vote on the internet using our Social Security number, birthdate and a secret password. That’s the way you buy things on credit cards and many other things online,” Dr. Peters exclaimed. “Not only is the process non inclusive, it is challenging. If it is the people’s duty to participate in democracy, isn’t it the government’s responsibility to make the process as straightforward as possible?” said Mayra Cruz on voting reform. However, Chairman John J. Benoit of the 4th District asserted that much of the reform suggested would be controlled entirely by the state Legislature, and that the board cannot do much for reforming the electoral process. Spencer pointed out the confusion with the NPP ballots, citing that the rules for NPP voting were clearly stated in the California Secretary of State pamphlet, which were mailed to every household outlining the rules and conditions for the June primary election. Travis Traber argued that the process can be so complicated that many are left disenfranchised because a fundamental lack of understanding. “What I witnessed, due to the misinformation by poll workers and the complexity of it all, It is a very complex system and we need to make sure that the public is aware and informed. There needs to be lots of transparency prior to voting taking place,” Traber said.

Temecula woman takes Washington D.C. Honor Flight

Alvina Holguin Candelaria’s official Navy photo from her time in service. Candelaria served as Hospital Corpsman during WWII and Courtesy photo recently took an honor flight to Washington D.C.

Bryce Chechile WRITER

The Inland Empire chapter of the Honor Flight organization sent 20 veterans from Ontario to Washington D.C. June 10. The Honor Flight is a national organization whose goal is to send approximately 20 veterans from each of its 130 U. S. chapters to Washington D.C. to commemorate and honor their service. The organization, which has brought 260 veterans to Washington D.C. since its start in 2010, gives veterans a chance to find closure with their combat service. The three-day trip for the veterans consisted of tours of the many memorials and monuments scattered throughout the nation’s capital. But Honor Flight Application and Fundraising leader Marva X explained it isn’t so easy to land a spot on the flight to Washington D.C. The waiting list already exceeds 200 names, just of World

War II veterans. She underscores the organization’s focus is currently on World War II veterans, but will later shift to veterans from more recent wars. However, raising enough funds to send these veterans to the Capitol stands in the way of this once-in-alifetime trip. Donations can be, as X puts it, “slow, but consistent.” Sending a single veteran costs approximately $1,100 each, and almost $20,000 to send a group of 20 veterans. The trip was especially significant to Alvina Holguin Candelaria, a Navy Hospital Corpsman who served during World War II. After enlisting Jan. 1, 1945, Candelaria spent her wartime years serving in places from New York to Washington. A few short weeks after her enlistment, Candelaria was on a train bound for New York where she attended boot camp, learning everything necessary to become a Navy “WAVE.” Immediately following

her graduation. Candelaria was sent to the Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, where she became a Hospital Corpsman. After spending some time in Bethesda she was later sent to Corvallis, Oregon, where she worked in a small hospital. “It was a spy training facility primarily,” she said. “I learned this much later, but the overflow from the Seattle Naval Hospital came in. These were mostly Marines from the Pacific theatre and most of them were in bad shape. We didn’t lose too many but some needed so much care it was sad. They couldn’t move even to feed themselves without pain medication, they were miserable. I was in the Orthopedic Ward with all types of open wounds and broken bodies. However, they still managed to be funny or good humored.” Eventually Candelaria was transferred to the Communications department where she sent all kinds of messages, mostly coded, and telegrams for those wishing to reach out to family members at home. Following her time there she went on to the Seattle Naval Hospital. “It was big, lots of patients, lots of night watches,” she said. “I was assigned to the Commanders Offices in the day and watches sometimes at night whenever I was needed. I hated sitting all night next to Marines who could hardly breathe and keeping an eye on them, usually they died. The Base was so big we didn’t always go into Seattle unless something special was going on, and the office usually had free tickets to ballgames and the theatre, or just plain looking. I enjoyed this Base the least.” Eventually the war ended and Candelaria was transferred to Naval Air Station Bremerton in Washington state, which said was a “neat” place with “lots going on. “What can I say, it was an experience to beat all experiences and I was never sorry to have been part of a memorable, historic time,” Candelaria said. “Even though the atomic era had not yet started, I would not trade a moment of it for anything. I made some great friends that are still close after all these years.” For veterans like Candelaria, an Honor Flight means the world to

them, allowing them the opportunity to share their wartime stories with others who have been in similar situations. “It’s the chance of a lifetime for veterans to get to visit the memorials and relive a part of our lives.” Candelaria said. “We were honored everywhere we went. I will never forget this trip.” But what many found the most heartwarming aspect of the veteran’s honor flight was the gracious return they were met with June 12.

Approximately 250 people came out to show their support and respect for the sacrifices of the servicemen and women. “All these people that are connected with Ontario airport put this out there and made it such an event,” she said.

Canyon Lake alum treatments proving successful for water quality

Joseph Salazar photo

Tony Ault WRITER

Canyon Lake residents continue to see improvements in the clarity and quality of the lakes’ water

following almost three years of an experimental alum treatment schedule that is reducing the extreme algae growth. Residents recently witnessed the sixth application of alum to the lakes’ main body, coves and causeway. Since 2000, the Lake Elsinore and San Jacinto Watershed Authority have been conducting field studies, laboratory measurements and long-term computer simulations to prove new insights into the complex Canyon Lake ecosystems and hydrology. Residents were complaining that the algae growth was increasing at a rapid rate and the water was becoming murky as a result. A series of alum treatments began to reduce the algae growth to see if the lake water quality would improve. Since the first treatment began in 2013 a steady improvement has been seen, according to

recent studies made by the University of California Riverside and the LESJW. The study has been measuring the effectiveness of the alum treatments. The lake, because it is located near the end of the San Jacinto watershed, receives high levels of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, as a result of the water runoff. The nutrients have encouraged the rapid growth of the algae. By adding alum to the water, it immediately binds to the phosphorus, causing it to neutralize and become inactive. The process was chosen as a means to improve lake quality due to its proven effectiveness in lakes throughout the country. Recently at a water quality meeting in Lake Elsinore it was announced that a 3-D model of the lake was developed to better capture the complex hydrodynamics and water quality observed. The results demonstrate the levels of phosphorous have been consistently lower in the main body of the lake following the five earlier treatments as compared to 2009-2012. “Control of phosphorous via

alum has shown meaningful progress, although continued in-lake controls along with watershed best management practices are needed to further improve water quality,” Dr. Michael Anderson, University of California Riverside associate dean, responsible for conducting lake testing shares said. “New 3-D modeling for Canyon Lake will provide greater understanding of relationships and unique water qualities of the distinct north, main and east basins.” In 2014, a two-day hydro acoustic survey was conducted to provide an assessment of the lake capacity. The lake itself serves as a source of area drinking and agricultural water and its capacity is important to providing water to residential and industrial projects in the future. The survey illustrated that substantial sedimentation has lowered the capacity of the lake compared to 1993. Resident boaters themselves have reported over time some waterway channel depths have been reduced, restricting lake boat travel, even though dredging has been done. The survey shows the lake’s hy-

drology poses unique challenges in water quality and ecology management. The LESJW plans continued study and alum applications in the lake will continue in order to meet water quality standards. Concerned wildlife and waterfowl officials were assured by university scientists, at the recent lake water quality meeting, that the alum residue covering the bottom of the lake is very thin and not a major contributor to the sediment and will not harm the birds and animals making their home in an on the lake. Funding for the alum applications have been provided by a California State grant, the Santa Ana Watershed Project AuthorityOne Water One Watershed and by the Lake Elsinore and Canyon Lake Total Maximu7m Daily Load Task Force, which consists of cities, Riverside County, agriculture and dairy coalitions and other organizations in the San Jacinto River watershed. The Canyon Lake Property Owners Association is working with the surrounding cities and funding agencies.

Veterans and transitioning military can gain on-the-job training in solar industry FRENCH VALLEY – Riverside County Supervisor Chuck Washington, 3rd District, announced a Veterans on-the-job training program called Troops to Solar. Grid Alternatives Inland Empire is on a mission to give local veterans and transitioning military the on-thejob-training and skills needed to gain employment in the rapidlygrowing solar energy sector with the program. America’s solar industry is a strong employer of veterans and provides economic empowerment through good wages ($20-$24 per hour) in high-growth jobs, many

of which do not require advanced degrees. “GRID Alternatives Troops to Solar initiative connects veterans to these jobs by providing solar industry workforce training to U.S. military veterans and active service members across the country,” stated Supervisor Washington. In addition, the organizations’ “Vets helping Vets” events provide solar systems for low-income veterans. The initiative, supported by a 3-year, $750,000 grant from Wells Fargo, builds on the work GRID Alternatives has been doing with

veterans at its locations across the country. It also supports a major solar initiative to employ 50,000 veterans in the solar workforce by 2020. GRID Alternatives leverages its partnerships across the solar industry and its national solar resume bank to help connect veteran trainees with companies that are hiring. They also host job fairs in major solar markets across the country where veterans can meet face to face with hiring managers. For information please visit www. gridalternatives.org/volunteer to register. For more information call Matt Lunn at (951) 471-7107.

Local THOMAS from page A-1 while simultaneously communicating with people entering it (they all want a little “Moto”) – is like watching an orchestra conductor or an inspirational speaker. Examples of Thomas’ encouraging exchanges, all delivered in a friendly tone through a big, bright smile: To four young Marines: “How you doing my motivators? Continue to walk in integrity. Good to see you. Have an awesome Thursday. Stay Moto!” To a young lady who works as a cashier in the MCX store: “You are amazing my friend. I want you to have a great day, and know that you are awesome.” To a young Marine: “Motivator, you know you’re good my friend. Have a good day. Ooh Rah.” To a man who enters with a frown (and appeared determined to have a bad day) but departs with a grin: “My friend, it’s another awesome Thursday. Go on and enjoy your day sir. All right Moto.” To a man he hasn’t seen in a long time and hardly recognizes due to significant weight loss: “How you doing?” The man responds, “I’m alive.” Thomas says, “It’s been awhile.” Man says, “I’m hanging in there. I might have defeated cancer. I won’t know until next month.” Thomas says, “I believe you have man. I’m serious. But keep remaining positive.” The man says, “I have to man.” Thomas says, “You are my motivator.” The man says, ‘No, you are.” Thomas’ fan club runs deep, ranging from the people who bring him sweets (donuts and strawberry shortcake), to the pregnant young lady that invited him to her Csection (“do you believe that?” asks Thomas with his infectious laugh), to UPS driver Jeff Sigstad (who says “When he retires we need to put up a statue, and I’ll donate money to make it happen”), to a seasoned Marine colonel (“He’s the greatest”). “Oh gosh, he makes my day every single time I come through the gate,” said Irma Leal, the MCX cashier. “He recognizes my car and he knows what to say. He’s a good man. Honestly, he always has a smile on his face and he always makes everyone’s day.” “He’s always got a great attitude,” said Mary Anne Bronza, Chief Warrant Officer 2 who works at headquarters regiment with first MLG. “It’s definitely a great start to the day. Especially when you come onto a military base and you’re in the Marine Corps, it’s a rough day. You’re coming in and not expecting to see smiles, so just having that extra motivation and that nice little greeting, it really helps.” Thomas, 53, became a Federal Police Officer upon retiring from the Marines and started working at the Naval Weapons Station gate in 2011. Thomas said he was pretty low key when he started the job. “I haven’t always been like this,” said Thomas. “I would see people coming through, down and out about going to work, and I started smiling. I saw how that affected people. Then I started adding, ‘Stay Moto.’ “I do what I do because I love people,” continued Thomas. “Plus, I was always told, it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.” Thomas, the second-youngest child in a family boasting three boys and five girls, was raised by his mother. “My father passed away before I was two,” said Thomas. “My mom always taught me to respect people, period.” Thomas said he and his mother, who died eight years ago, would often laugh about what prompted him to join the Marines. “I was 17-years-old and I did come into the house late one night,” said Thomas. “And she told me, ‘I don’t ever want you to come into this house late again!’

And it was that night that I said to myself, ‘nobody’s going to tell me what to do – I’m going to join the Marine Corps.’ I was in for a rude awakening.” After getting over the initial shock that he had failed miserably in finding a place where “nobody’s going to tell me what to do,” Thomas settled in nicely in the Marines. “My time in the Marine Corps really set a solid foundation in my life,” said Thomas. “My highlight was when I was a drill instructor, turning young men into Marines.” Thomas, 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, works out five to six times a week. His fitness routine has helped him bring awareness to a dark subject – the high suicide rate of military veterans. “It’s called #22 KILL and refers to the (2012 Veterans Affairs) report that 22 veterans commit suicide a day,” said Thomas. “One of things it asks is that we do 22 pushups to honor those who serve and to bring awareness to veteran suicide prevention by posting a video of ourselves doing the 22 pushups on Facebook and other social media.” On a Saturday in April, Thomas and a large number of members of the Mendleton Foundation, a military support group, went to Oceanside Beach and did 22 pushups in unison in hopes of attracting an audience. The event did exactly what it was supposed to do as beach goers and tourists stopped and took notice of the impressive display, pulling out cameras and, more importantly, asking questions and gaining knowledge of veteran suicide prevention. When asked why he thought so many veterans commit suicide, Thomas said, “What I believe happens is a chemical imbalance, caused by a traumatic experience or something they’ve seen. That, combined with just the pressures of life, gets them to a point where they’re so depressed that they’re not thinking straight, not reasoning straight. And instead of speaking or finding an outlet, they’re holding

these things in and it’s just crushing them, crushing them to a point where it (suicide) is their way of ending the pain.” Thomas said other veterans simply feel lost. “It was stated that many veterans, once they get out of the military, feel like that have nothing to live for,” said Thomas. “I tell these veterans that you are so important, and that life is so valuable, and that you do have purpose. That you do have a mission, and we do care about you. There is someone that you can talk to, that is qualified to assist you in your situation.” Thomas added that we can all help veterans. “It’s nice to know you’re appreciated, and when somebody does say something, it makes you feel good,” said Thomas. “A simple thank you can alter someone’s life.” To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

San Jacinto Valley Independence Day Festival promises fun this Fourth of July

Courtesy photos

Kim Harris MANAGING EDITOR

Summer means many things to many people, swimming pools, barbeques and beach time all evoke thoughts of our favorite season, but for one collective group the only thing on their mind is pulling off one of San Jacinto Valley’s biggest events of the year, the annual Independence Day Hometown Parade and Festival. The Independence Day Hometown Parade and Festival Committee has been hard at work planning the annual event held in San Jacinto each year, and while other cities hold fireworks displays, the parade and festival, held in San Jacinto each year is the only July 4 daylong celebration actually held on the same day the nation celebrates its 240th birthday. Before last year’s event, the city of San Jacinto was in charge of the popular festival, but due to budget cuts has since abandoned the monumental project of planning, hosting and paying for the family friendly party, instead handing over the reins over to the group now known as The Independence Day Hometown Parade and Festival

Committee. “The city was given the task by the citizens to balance the budget without spending the reserves,” said San Jacinto Councilwoman Crystal Ruiz. “We had to make cuts in all departments. Cutting events was just one of those cuts. We didn’t want to, but it was necessary in order to accomplish the goal.” Ruiz, who founded the committee last year in an effort to save the festival, said she serves as a support person to this year’s chairwoman, Janna Joos. “This is really about the community business partners coming together and each person doing what they are best at,” she said. “We have leaders from both the Hemet/San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce and the San Jacinto Chamber of Commerce along with business leaders throughout our valley.” Ruiz said the event is important due to the changing climate of the valley as San Jacinto and the surrounding communities continue their recovery from the most recent recession. “We have had to make tough decisions but are starting to see things change for the better,” she said. “If we want our community to

change, we have to work together to make a difference. This Parade and Festival are a part of changing our environment. For Ruiz, it’s not just about financial recovery, but to get the positives of her community out there for all to see. “When a city makes the news it is not usually because of something good happening,” she said. “So, when people hear about this valley, they tend to believe only what they have heard from the news. Those of us who live here know that we have a great community but we need to let people know outside of this valley how great we are. We have amazing citizens, veterans and businesses. We have not one, but two great Chambers of Commerce and we have all kinds of activities going on in this valley. It’s time we let the world know! By making this event a successful event, we will see a boost to our local economy. We will see folks come to this valley and when they meet our citizens, they will see why I’m so excited about the future of this valley.” A full line of fun activities awaits those who come out to The Independence Day Hometown Parade

and Festival, including a wide variety of vendors, entertainment and of course the parade. “Along the parade route we will have lots of action,” Ruiz said. “Participants will be passing out a lot of candy, there will be music, there will be gymnastics, local hero’s, veteran’s, motorcycles, car clubs, horses...oh yeah and lots of Otter Pops will be passed out. At the Festival there will be lots of vendors, from food to clothing and so much more. There will be plenty of entertainment including some exhibitions, live music from American Idol contestant Anatalia Villaranda and of course the awards ceremony.” While the festival ends at 5 p.m. those in attendance are invited to stay and watch Valley-Wide Recreation’s Fireworks show from the festival grounds. “The view is unbelievable from there and best of all, there are no crowds,” said Ruiz For those looking to participate the Independence Day Hometown Parade and Festival offers the unique opportunity to reach several thousand people in a very short time, according to Ruiz. Vendor spaces are still available, and pa-

rade participants and volunteers are welcome to sign up until the close of business Friday, July 1. Sponsorships are still being accepted as well. Parade entry and line-up begins at 7 a.m. in the Wal-Mart parking lot located at 1861 S. San Jacinto Avenue. The parade begins at 9 a.m. and will run down San Jacinto Avenue before turning onto 7th Street and making its way to Estudillo Mansion at 150 S. Dillon Avenue. The festival will be held on the grounds at Estudillo Mansion immediately following the parade and runs until 2 p.m. The grounds will remain open after the festival for fireworks viewing. To participate in the parade, serve as a volunteer or become a sponsor, contact Joos by email at jannasdefense@gmail.com or by phone at (818) 231-0932. For more information on the Independence Day Hometown Parade and Festival, including applications and forms needed to participate, visit www.ci.san-jacinto.ca.us/. “We want everyone to come join us and have a great time with their family and friends,” Ruiz said.

Barn Stage Company presents ‘Peter and the Starcatcher’ TEMECULA – Presented by The Barn Stage Company, the 2016 Summer Series opens in July with the Tony Award-winning play, “Peter And The Starcatcher!” The show runs Thursday-Sunday for three weekends at The Truax Building in Old Town Temecula. This production comes to Temecula for the first time! An Inland Empire Premiere! The play will be directed by J. Scott Lapp, with Movement by Chelsea Nicole and Musical Direction by Leigh Sutherlin. First preview is July 7. “Peter And The Starcatcher invites the audience to use their imagination to go on an adventure. The actors play a multitude of characters, sometimes switching characters before your eyes, and other times actors are incorporated directly into the scenery as props. And no matter how old you are, or how rusty you may be at “playing, that part of your brain, just like Peter Pan, never grows old! Continuing the tradition after last summer’s exciting shows, we aim to stage bold, adventurous plays for our

savvy audiences with extraordinary talent and professionalism that our patrons have come to expect,” says Artistic Director J. Scott Lapp. PLOT: A grown up’s prequel to Peter Pan. When starcatcher-intraining Molly meets an orphan boy longing for a home, they embark on the adventure of a lifetime. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, containing a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a starcatcher-intraining, who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates, led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own – the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure.

outsider entertainment.” The Baby Tattoo Art & Magic exhibition at the Fallbrook Library will showcase dozens of strange and fun works of art from the professional archives and personal collection of Bob and Rani Self. “Welcome, fellow traveler, to a fantastic realm of eye-popping visuals and magical goings-on,” says Bob Self of the show.

VALLEY NEWS

JULY 1, 2016

Maurice Car’rie Winery celebrates 30 years Andrea Verdin Staff Writer Temecula Valley residents love their wine. It’s a part of the culture that makes the community what it is. For 30 years, Maurice Car’rie Winery has been a mainstay for wine lovers, and June 25, the winery celebrated three decades in the valley. To help celebrate its anniversary, the Van Roekel family, owners of Maurice Car’rie, invited their guests to dance the night away as The Keri Payne Project performed a free concert. The night was perfect for a celebration; the weather was beautiful, everyone was in great spirits, and the band happily chatted with guests in between songs. The lawn was littered with individuals in all stages of life. Children were being chased by their parents, young adults played soccer and retired folks sat back with a few bottles of their favorite

wines and snacked on picnic dinners. “It’s always that way,” said Gary Van Roekel, general manager for the winery. According to Van Roekel, the first grapes for wine grew on the Maurice Car’rie property in Temecula. Since the very beginning, the family has worked hard to give its guests the best experience possible. The combination of approachable atmosphere and wide variety of wines makes it easy for a diverse group of guests to enjoy the winery. Everything offered, from the wine slushies, Brie baked in sourdough, and of course, wines, allows for those new to wine and those who are well-versed in wines to come together and enjoy a truly Southern California experience. That came out in full force during the anniversary celebration. “We wanted to invite people to dance,” said Van Roekel. Since Maurice Car’rie is a

family owned business, wines are named after grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Examples of this are the Sara Bella, a white cabernet; Summer’s End, a late harvest chardonnay; and Cody’s Crush, a red table wine. “We have won 56 medals for our wines, and have competed at state fairs,” said Van Roekel. “We give the folks up north a run for their money.” Each wine created and named

after a family member has a story, as well. According to Van Roekel, his son Cody was who inspired the table red, and when the family came together to toast it, his young son got a chance to taste his namesake. “He took one sip, and you could see his face flush red, then he spit all of the wine on his Poppa [Maurice], including his shoes,” laughed Van Roekel. “He’s now 32, and doesn’t seem

to have problems drinking his wine anymore.” With a history like this, it’s no wonder that people of all ages enjoy spending their summer evenings sipping their favorite glass of wine and spending time making memories with their favorite loved ones.

or three days – during the soft and Grand Opening – lines of excited and hungry diners waited outside the new Dog Haus Biergarten Menifee on Haun Road. They were not disappointed and have been fanatically spreading the word about their gourmet würst (German for “sausage”) experience. “Dog Haus Biergarten Menifee’s Grand Opening was a huge success,” said co-owner Tanya Tabrizizadeh. “We broke the corporate record and gave away 1,300 free Haus Dogs. We are thrilled with the feedback we have been getting so far and we want to thank everyone that came out to the Grand Opening to show us support.” The emerging highly-acclaimed restaurant brand was brought to Menifee by Tanya and her brother, Amir Tabrizizadeh, cofranchisees. The celebrated California-based fast-casual food concept features gourmet hot dogs, corn dogs, sausages, burgers, one-of-a-kind custom creations, sides, shakes and a range of American craft beers with an emphasis on local breweries. The concept’s founders were inspired to recapture the nostalgic childhood experience of eating hot dogs. The Haus Dogs are speciallymade all beef skinless dogs served on soft grilled Hawaiian rolls. There is also a veggie dog available upon request. There are seven delicious creations on the menu, but customers can order their own custom creations. The “Sooo Cali” features wild arugula, spicy basil aioli, crispy onions, avocado and tomato. The “Old Town Dog” is wrapped in smoked bacon with caramelized

onions, pickled jalapenos, chipotle aioli and cotija cheese. The “Downtown Dog” is also wrapped in smoked bacon and caramelized onions, but has pickled peppers, mayo, mustard and ketchup. The “Scott Baioli” features smoked bacon, white American cheese, garlic aioli and caramelized onions. The “Cowboy” is similar but with crispy onions and barbecue sauce. The “Free Bird” is a turkey dog with avocado, ranch, smoked bacon and tomato. The Classic Corn Dog is an all-beef skinless dog dipped in haus-made root beer batter. Haus Sausages (würst) have exotic names like “Das Brat”, “The Hot Chick,” “Reservoir Hog,” “Another Night in Bangkok,”

“The Fonz,” “Pig Lebowski,” and “Sooo Veggie.” Veggie Italian sausage and veggie smoked apple sausage are available upon request. Thick and tasty Haus Burgers are made from a proprietary grind of premium chuck and beef brisket and are also served on soft grilled Hawaiian bread. There are seven Haus burgers – Ringer, Holy Aioli, Cheeseburger, The Freiburger®, Ava Maria, Little Mule and The Hangover – with options that include onion rings, fried egg, smoked bacon and pickled jalapenos. Diners can also build custom creations. Haus sides are Tater Tots, Haus Chili made with 100 percent natural Black Angus beef, Cheese fries or tots, Haus Slaw, Chili Cheese Fries or Tots, Fries and Onion Rings. “The Love Boat” is a combination of fries or tots, haus

chili and haus slaw. There is also a Haus Sliders menu and Kids Meals for smaller appetites. The Haus Desserts menu features shakes and malts, cookies, and “The Floater” (ice cream and bottled soda). There is an extensive selection of draught and canned craft beers (which can be served in Dog Haus koozies reminiscent of backyard barbecues) as well as red and white wine. The restaurant has a contemporary aesthetic in a modern industrial space. Diners order at the counter; seating is available on barstools at communal tables or at reclaimed wood and steel tables with benches throughout the 2,000 square foot space. Sporting events can be viewed on flat screen TV’s. Outside, there is a spacious dogfriendly patio with tables.

“My brother and I were raised in the restaurant business. For the last four years I’ve owned restaurants in the valley, have become entrenched into the community and have seen a huge need for new food concepts in the area. Together, my brother and I wanted to bring something to this valley that appeals to people like us – always looking for new adventurous food,” said Tanya. “Dog Haus has a modern, industrial feel and it’s a place we could come to eat and hang out. Visually, the food is amazing and photogenic, and the taste matches every plate’s aesthetics perfectly.” “We’re thrilled to be bringing Dog Haus to Menifee,” said Amir. “We both look forward to getting really involved in the community, support local charities, and the Menifee Pony Baseball League.” “ We a r e s o e x c i t e d t o be branching into the Inland Empire and truly believe Dog Haus Biergarten Menifee has huge potential for success,” said Quasim Riaz, Dog Haus International Partner and cofounder. “With Tanya and Amir’s franchise expertise, drive and roots in the area, they are just the right people to introduce our brand to this vibrant community. We are confident that as the city continues to grow with new families looking for new experiences, Dog Haus Biergarten Menifee is a perfect fit.” The new restaurant, located at 30080 Haun Road, Menifee, CA 92584, will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Fridays and Saturdays will be open from 11 a.m. to midnight.

Smart, stylish designs for outdoor kitchens Family Features SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

more space and connections for gas, water and electricity. Grill placement is also a key decision. If you entertain often, Faulk recommends keeping the cook in the party by positioning the grill perpendicular to the dining area.

Kitchens are moving outside. And they’re doing it in a big way. According to a recent study from the National Kitchen and Bath Association, outdoor kitchens are expected to be a top design trend in 2016. “An outdoor kitchen can drastically improve the value of a home,” said Alana Busse, designer and NKBA Central Coast and Valleys chapter president. “They also bring people together. Whether, it’s simply your neighbors coming over for a weekend barbecue or a big family gathering, everyone loves being outside.” Big or small, the basic principles of outdoor kitchen design remain the same. Get started by understanding these basics: Get the right heat It all starts with the grill – the centerpiece of the outdoor kitchen. Russ Faulk, chief designer and head of product for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, which makes outdoor kitchen equipment, suggests basing your selection on the cook you aspire to be, not the kind you are now. Remember that there are no uniform depths, heights or widths when it comes to grills, so future upgrades can be a challenge. More homeowners are also expanding their cooking capabilities with specialized products offering different types of heat. Smokers, pizza ovens and charcoal or woodfired grills, such as Kalamazoo’s Gaucho Grill, are options to keep in mind as they can enhance the outdoor cooking experience. Assess the space Faulk recommends thinking about how you envision the relationship between your indoor and outdoor kitchens next. If they are relatively close together, an outdoor kitchen can utilize the indoor kitchen’s capabilities, such as prep space and storage. Conversely, a fully independent outdoor kitchen with refrigeration, warming cabinets and cabinetry is more self-reliant, but will require

In the zone You’ll get the most out of your outdoor kitchen when you have different functional zones designated, Faulk said. Plot out where you will position four key zones – wet, cold, hot and dry – to make prepping, cooking, serving and cleaning much easier. The cold zone should be next to the wet zone. This will simplify moving food from the cold zone refrigerator to the wet zone sink to wash and get ready for grilling in the hot zone. Also plan for uninterrupted counter space, or landing areas, for placing platters and utensils while cooking. Grills should have at least 24 inches to one side and 12 inches to the other. Sinks should have 18 inches on both sides for room to wash food or place dirty dishes. Be sure to dedicate enough space for each zone and think about the relationships among them for cooking and serving activities.

An outdoor kitchen can drastically improve the value of a home.

Left outside Being outdoors means your refrigeration and cabinetry will need to be equipped to handle the elements. When considering refrigeration for an outdoor kitchen, Faulk stresses food-safe rated options. With these products, meats won’t go bad and drinks will stay cold, even when it’s above 95 degrees outside. Cabinetry should be equipped to handle rain and protect the items inside. Weather-tight cabinets have seamless rain gutters around the door and drawer openings to help divert water. By incorporating the right design principles, an outdoor kitchen can be the place where you and your guests enjoy delicious meals for years to come. For more design tips, visit kalamazoogourmet.com.

Good news for Fire Tax Fee protesters Jodi Thomas STAFF WRITER

Is the Fire Tax fee really legal or is it an illegal tax under Proposition 13? That is still the question that thousands of California rural property owners and the Howard Jarvis Association are still asking. The group has challenged the constitutionality of this tax in court on behalf of Californian’s, who are encouraged to file a petition in protest if they want a potential refund. To qualify for a refund if they win, California residents must have filed a “Petition for Redetermination” with the responsible agencies and must have paid their bill. It was also recommended by the group that owners write “under protest” on the notation line of their check when paying the bill. Originally property owners were told they must submit their petition each year and within 30 days of the date of their bill to the address as directed on the form. A petition can be found on Firetaxprotest.org. For those with

REASON FOR PETITION Article 13A, section 3(a) of the California Constitution, as amended by Proposition 26, reads: “Any change in state statute which results in any taxpayer paying a higher tax must be … passed by not less than two-thirds of all members elected to each of the two houses of the Legislature.” Section 3(b) then defines “tax” to mean “any levy, charge, or exaction of any kind imposed by the State,” unless it fits one of five listed exceptions. Public Resources Code section 4214(d) specifies the activities to be funded with revenue from the fire prevention fee. Other than item 4 (“inspections by the department for compliance with defensible space requirements around structures”), none of the activities listed qualifies as an exception to the two-thirds legislative vote requirement for a “tax” in section 3(b). (Even as to item 4, many parcels subject to the fee will not be inspected.) Therefore, the bill imposing this levy (ABX1-29) needed two-thirds legislative approval to become law. It received only majority approval. The entirety of the bill, and thus the entirety of the fire protection fee levied thereby, is unenforceable. Public Resources Code section 4124(d)(1) and (e) require the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to use fire prevention fee revenue to make local assistance grants to counties and special districts to fund local fire prevention activities. Yet article 13, section 24 provides: “The Legislature may not impose taxes for local purposes but may authorize local governments to impose them.” For this additional reason, the fire prevention fee is invalid. no computer or internet, visit the local library for assistance as their computers are available for use by the general public. This year the Howard Jarvis Fire Tax Protest group has informed property owners that, petitions

now need only to be filed once to receive a refund if the group wins. According to the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association Fire Tax Protest group’s latest email, “The Court has confirmed that people protesting the Fire Tax only need to

file one timely Petition. If we win that timely Petition will make you eligible for refunds for the first year you filed and all following years. If you did not protest the Fire Tax the first year you paid it, you may still be able to protest it, according

to the group. Correspondence with the BOE and CalFire has indicated that a “Petition for Redetermination” may be submitted to protest all the years the Fire Tax has been paid. “The staff persons with whom we corresponded may not be the final authority on this question, but according to them you may check all the boxes on the form for the years you have paid. Please note that Petitions for Redetermination must still be postmarked within 30 days of the date on your bill,” the email explains. “Petitions received outside of this time period may be considered invalid. If you have any uncertainty about whether you filed a timely Petition the first year you paid the Fire Tax, you may submit a Petition the next time you receive your bill and check the boxes for all the years you paid. Updated Petitions for the 2015-2016 billing cycle are available on our website at www.FireTaxProtest.org.” Howard Jarvis Fire Tax Protest mailing address is 921 11th Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

Energy providers of Southern California launch partnership, announce ‘Conserve Energy SoCal’ initiative LOS ANGELES – With hotter temperatures quickly approaching, the Energy Providers of Southern California – a joint coalition of Southern California natural gas and electric utilities, in partnership with the California Public Utilities Commission, California Independent System Operator, and local city governments – recently announced Conserve Energy SoCal, an initiative to bring Southern California residents together to conserve energy, save money and reduce the risk of natural gas and electricity shortages this year. In addition to existing conservation programs and financial incentives from local utilities, the Energy Providers of Southern California are expanding the effort by teaming up to educate and encourage consumers to conserve electricity and natural gas through the Conserve Energy SoCal initiative. The Energy Providers of Southern California will encourage conservation efforts, enact Flex Alerts during peak usage periods and provide resources for the greater Southern Califor-

nia community. Through public education and programming, as well as the collective efforts of all residents, businesses and agencies, the Energy Providers of Southern California aim to make 2016 a record year for conservation. With the limited availability of natural gas from the Aliso Canyon storage facility, there is less natural gas locally to produce electricity, particularly during high-usage periods, which could lead to power outages. So it will be more important than ever to work together to conserve energy. The Conserve Energy SoCal initiative will use interactive and educational programs to encourage the entire Southern California community to come together to reduce natural gas and electricity consumption. To kick things off, the campaign will educate residents and businesses about the role natural gas plays in electricity generation. Content will include comprehensive conservation tips, particularly during peak times when natural gas shortages are

more likely to impact the electric grid, perhaps even leading to power outages. Information on the benefits of using less energy, such as lower gas and electric bills for residents and businesses, will also be provided. The Campaign will also feature the www.ConserveEnergySoCal. com website, Twitter and Facebook social media accounts and paid advertising, all with the goal of educating and engaging the Southern California community about the importance of energy conservation. Having faced the ongoing statewide drought, Californians have already been successful in adopting effective conservation habits and have witnessed the positive impact of working together. With the knowledge that 61 percent of electricity is generated at natural gas-burning power plants, Southern Californians will now be asked to adopt the same mentality in their efforts for energy conservation. Some consumers have already made significant strides to make energy conservation a part of their routine

by adjusting their thermostats, switching to lower wattage light bulbs and purchasing energy efficient appliances. Now, the Energy Providers of Southern California are calling on everyone to once again band together in a joint effort to create meaningful change in the utilization of our re-

“

sources. Doing so may help prevent electricity outages this summer. For more information on The Energy Providers of Southern California and Conserve Energy SoCal, please visit www.ConserveEnergySoCal.com, or visit us on Twitter and Facebook.

Temecula Sailor takes home gold at the 2016 DoD Warrior Games

Dean Fioresi SPORTSWRITER

On June 16 in West Point, New York, Temecula native Jason Reyes took home two medals in the Department of Defense Warriors Games, a paralympic-type event designed to

showcase the resilient spirit of our nation’s wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from all branches of the military. Reyes, a Veteran Petty Officer 3rd Class, who originally hails from Miami, joined the Navy in 2009, where he was assigned to the USS Princ-

eton at Naval Base San Diego. In 2011, Reyes suffered a spinal cord injury from a motorcycle accident. Despite his handicap, Reyes took advantage of what was laid before him. As he states in his DoD Warriors Games bio, “Nothing worth having comes easy.” He started an

intensive series of physical therapy to speed along his recuperation process. Since then, Reyes has participated in dozens of events around the nation in adaptive sports to help aid his recovery. Specializing in wheelchair sports, Reyes fell in love with the wheelchair motocross stunt and trick events. He placed fourth-overall in the 2015 WCMX World Championships, and he is the eighth person in the world to be able to demonstrate a back flip in a wheelchair. He also participates in cycling, wheelchair basketball and track. It was on the track that Reyes ex-

celled most in West Point, where he captured a championship in the 200 Meter Dash with his time of 42.47 seconds, two full seconds ahead of the next best competitor. He also took home second-place in the 100 Meter Dash, with a time of 23.47 seconds, falling just .05 seconds short of his second championship on the day. Reyes was one of approximately 250 wounded warriors who participated in the events earlier this month, all of whom helped with the unique opportunity to demonstrate support to those, and their families, who sacrificed greatly on behalf of our nation.

In the past, horseback riding has brought thousands of fans together to watch their favorite horses and riders duel against each other. In 1938 the Del Mar Racetrack featured a match race between rivals Seabiscuit and Ligaroti, keeping a nationwide audience glued to their radios as they listened to a live radio broadcast of the event. Olympic equestrian events still thrill fans to this day and features top riders and their mounts. This year’s Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro Aug. 5 through Aug. 21 will feature top riders.

Eventing is an Olympic Triathlon sport in which the horse and rider participate in a combined competition featuring three classes, dressage, cross country and show jumping. The primary goal for the horse and rider is to have the lowest penalty score after each phase. Riders can also specialize in one discipline. In addition to eventing, dressage and show jumping are also featured as individual Olympic sport.

Burt hired as new Fallbrook Warriors football coach

Joe Naiman SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Bob Burt has been hired as the new Fallbrook High School head football coach. “We’re excited to see what he can do with this group of kids,” said Fallbrook athletic director Pat Walker. Burt acknowledged challenges of becoming a team’s new coach. “It’s

a big learning curve,” he said. One challenge is determining the skills of his players, and Burt acknowledges that the familiarity aspect is a task for both sides. “They have to know me,” he said. Burt played on the San Pedro High School football team as a center and defensive end and was also a pitcher on the Pirates’ baseball team before graduating in 1958. He then

played center and defensive end at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colo. Burt returned to California for graduate studies at Los Angeles State College and began his coaching career in 1962 at St. Paul High School in Santa Fe Springs as an assistant to head coach Marijon Ancich, who won 360 games during his high school career, which ranks second all-time among California coaches. “I was fortunate to work for him and learned a lot from him,” said Burt of Ancich. In 1966, Burt became the first head football coach at Pater Noster High School in Eagle Rock where he coached for three years before he became the head coach at Santiago High School in Garden Grove. After six years as the Santiago coach, Burt made his college coaching debut as the head coach at United States International University in San Diego, which is now Alliant University. Burt continued to teach at Santiago High School while driving 120 miles each way to USIU for practices and games. “I wanted to get into college coaching,” said Burt. Although the Gulls only had 28 players in 1975, USIU finished the season with a 7-3 record. “It was a great year,” Burt said. Burt enjoyed college football more than he enjoyed the commute, and after a year at USIU he became

the assistant defensive line coach for UCLA. One of the UCLA players in 1976 was defensive back Pat Schmidt, who was Fallbrook High School’s football coach in 2006 and 2007. “He was well respected by his players,” Schmidt said of Burt. “I’m sure it’s going to be the same thing at Fallbrook High School.” In 1977, Dick Tomey, who was UCLA’s defensive coordinator in 1976, became the head coach at the University of Hawaii and invited Burt to join the Rainbow Warriors’ coaching staff. “We had a lot of success and had a great time over there,” said Burt. Burt was on the Hawaii coaching staff for three years but returned to California to be closer to his daughter. He was the assistant defensive coordinator at Cal State Fullerton from 1980 to 1985. “We had real good teams,” said Burt. “We had a great program.” In 1986, Burt took over as the head coach at Cal State Northridge. The Matadors had an 8-3 record in Burt’s first season, and in 1990 the team earned a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs for the only time in school history. Burt continued to coach Cal State Northridge through 1994 and then returned to the high school level. In 10 years as the Temescal Canyon High School coach, Burt led the Titans to a 90-30 record and eight CIF playoff appearances. Temescal

Canyon won three league championships and one CIF Southern Section championship during Burt’s seasons as the head coach. Burt was also a non-coaching athletic director at the school before retiring in 2007. “Had a great 13 years there,” he said. Notre Dame High School in Riverside, also the Titans, lured Burt in and as the head coach from 2008 to 2010, Burt led the team to three playoff appearances. He was the head coach at Wilson High School in Hacienda Heights for the 2011 season and spent 2012 and 2013 as the Cypress High School coach. In 2014, Burt became the first varsity coach at Santa Rosa Academy in Menifee. The American Football Coaches Association presented Burt with the 2013 Power of Influence Award at the AFCA’s January 2014 conference. Burt, who lives in Hemet, intends to coach at Fallbrook longer than one or two years and will be replacing Kyle Williams, who compiled a record of 17-17 during his three years, including CIF playoff games in all three seasons and a Valley League championships in 2014 and 2015. “I’m here to stay. I love the idea of a one town and one school atmosphere. I think it’s a great opportunity,” said Burt. To comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

Great Oak High School Field Hockey readying for second season TEMECULA – Great Oak High School Girls Field Hockey began play last Fall season and competed as a JV squad against teams from all over Southern California. For 2016, GOHSFH are planning to field two all-girls teams — Varsity (letter eligible) and Junior Varsity — and planning a full season of games and tournaments. Led by Head Coach Liz Hammond, last year’s team, the first team in Riverside Country made great progress, and with the help of the GOHSFH parent support group board, the team is currently recruiting players for the upcoming Fall season. Summer Training Camp is taking place now and throughout the summer from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays and led by assistant coach Stacey Savin. Summer training camps consists of sport education, skills training, significant amounts of open play and a comprehensive conditioning program. The team is scheduled to compete in a 7V7 summer league as well as compete in the Cal State

Games in July. Each player who registers for the camp will receive a reversible team jersey for use during training camp and the regular season. There is no experience necessary to play field hockey — the sport is similar to soccer or lacrosse in structure and is a fast-paced, fun game that relates well to almost any sport. Even if players have never played a sport, GOHSFH coaches will teach participants everything they need to know in order to compete. The sport does not compete with Soccer, Basketball, Track & Field, Lacrosse, Swimming or Water Polo. This is a great chance to start the new high school year by making new friends and playing a a sport which offers college scholarship opportunities all over the country. Players that intend on trying out for the team (tentatively) scheduled for the first week of school, are also greatly encouraged to attend as much of the summer training camp as possible. All players must have completed a GOHS

Boy Scouts from Troop 430 perform during a flag day ceremony June Courtesy photo 14 at Lake Elsinore/Wildomar Elks Lodge No. 2591.

LAKE ELSINORE – Lake Elsinore/Wildomar Elks Lodge No. 2591 celebrated Flag Day at the lodge at an open meeting Tuesday, June 14. Before the Flag Day Ceremonies, Gary Brown, Exalted Ruler, held an abbreviated meeting to care of lodge business. After the meeting, Elks and members of the general public attended the Flag Day Ceremonies. The Elks were the first to come up with the idea of a Flag Day in 1907. June 14 was selected as that day by the Grand Lodge which made the observance mandatory for all lodges in 1911. It was not until Aug. 3, 1949 that President Harry S. Truman signed Public Law 205 designating June 14 as Flag Day. Brown opened the meeting with the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner.” He then led a special ritual set up by the Grand Lodge where

he and lodge officers narrated the significance the flag, love of country, the Elks relationship to the flag and what it represents. Kip Yotter, of Boy Scout Troop 430, then gave a history of the flags of the United States from pre-Revolutionary days to the present as Cub Scouts from Cub Scout Packs 30 and 332 and Boy Scout Troops from Troops 332, 420 and 2011 brought flags from each period and posted them. After the posting of the flags, Larry Ryan, Lodge Scouting Chairmen, gave a history the of flag during the conflicts and wars from the Revolution to the present time. After his presentation, all sang “God Bless America” followed by a special prayer by Betty Hamilton, Lodge chaplain. Brown then concluded the ceremonies.

Colony Men’s Golf Club recognizes local high school golfers

JP Raineri SPORTS EDITOR

The third Annual Colony Men’s Golf Club Scholarship Tournament & Awards Luncheon, founded and organized by Mike Base, Bill Tiffany and Dennis Murphy and sponsored by the membership, took place in May for the 20152016 winners and their coaches. Student athlete recipients included were Cole Peters and Madison Schimek from Murrieta Mesa High School, Kaden Page and Hunter Du Bois from Vista Murrieta High School and Alii Kim, an accomplished student golfer from Vista Murrieta High School, was also recognized. The event also noted the leadership of coach Terry Kim and athletic director John Broussard from Murrieta Mesa High School, as well as Vista Murrieta High School’s coach Ryan Heise and athletic

director Coley Candaele. The Men’s Golf Club had sponsored a pancake breakfast earlier in the year to assist in funding the scholarships and the event gave the student athletes an opportunity to thank and interact with the clubs’ members in a scramble tournament, which was followed by a luncheon and awards ceremony. Each student’s personal high school academic achievements, golf accomplishments, and future college plans were all highlighted. The students, coaches, athletic directors and parents all appreciated the generous outpouring of support by the Colony Men’s Golf Club members for pursuing higher education and love for the game of golf. Cindy Peters of Kona Blue Photography contributed to this article. To find out more info about the Colony Men’s Golf Club visit colonymensgolf.net.

SAN JACINTO – Ground squirrels from Dark Canyon Campground and Marion Mountain Campground tested antibodypositive this month for plague, according to state and local health officials. The Riverside County Environmental Health, Vector Control Program was notified about the positive blood tests by the California Department of Public Health. The U.S. Forest Service district rangers and safety officer also have been notified. The tests on squirrels from Dark Canyon Campground and Marion Mountain Campground were conducted June 8 and June 13, respectively. The antibody-positive test means the squirrels had been exposed to the disease sometime in the past. Plague is a rare bacterial disease in rodents that can be transmitted through the bite of infected rodent fleas. The disease has been detected in ground squirrels, chipmunks, and other wild rodents throughout many mountain regions in Southern

California. The last positive plague samples in the San Jacinto Mountain Range were in 2012 and 2002. All campgrounds are continuously posted to remind campers that plague has been found in the area in the past. Riverside County Vector Control routinely samples wild rodents in mountain recreational areas during the summer months for the presence of plague antibodies. Follow-up rodent surveillance and an environmental assessment of the two campgrounds will be conducted this week. Risk to the public is currently considered to be low and campgrounds will remain open during follow-up investigations. Because plague typically is spread by the bite of infected rodent fleas, visitors and campers should not set up tents on or near rodent burrows. Other precautions include not feeding or picking up any wild animals, not touching or handling any dead animals, keep pets on a leash while camping and ensure they have been treated against fleas

And this effects how well people are sleeping, which effects just about everything else in their lives.” The Mayo Clinic, considered to be the most highly respected hospital in the United States, has included for many years hypnosis and hypnotherapy in every department of patient care, including obstetrics, pediatrics, geriatrics, and the treatment of mental health issues. According to AARP, research reveals a clear link between depression and anxiety and chronic pain. If every day stress is getting the best of us, it may explain the increase of people who are suffering with insomnia, depression and anxiety. “We know the inner mind can resolve the root cause of anxiety, depression and panic attacks.” said Winkler. “The inner mind can also resolve what is triggering these feelings. This then puts us back in control of our own sense of wellness.” The mind-body connection is so intertwined that once the mind begins to heal the mind, the mind automatically begins to heal the body.

Red Cross urges blood donations to maintain summer supply TEMECULA – The American Red Cross urges eligible donors to give blood in the weeks surrounding Independence Day to help ensure a sufficient blood supply for patients now and throughout the summer. Blood donations often decline in the summer months, especially around summer holidays when donors are less available to give. The need for blood doesn’t decrease though – every two seconds, someone in the U.S. requires blood or platelets. In fact, a recent survey of Red Cross blood and platelet donors showed that nearly half knew someone who needed blood or they needed blood themselves. “Donating blood helps save lives and can affect people you know and work alongside every day,” said Scott Nethery, whose 7-year-old daughter Audrey requires frequent transfusions. Audrey was born with Diamond Blackfan anemia, a rare condition where her body doesn’t make enough red blood cells. “I am

so appreciative of the individuals whose blood is within my daughter at this very moment. Without blood, my little angel would not be with us today.” To encourage more people to donate around Independence Day, all those who come out to donate blood July 1-5, 2016, will receive a limited-edition Red Cross lunch cooler, while supplies last. Donors of all blood types are needed now. Schedule an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor app, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS. Upcoming blood donation opportunities include Hemet July 3 from 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. at Our Lady of the Valley Church, 780 S State Street, at the Wal-Mart located at 32225 Hwy. 79 South in Temecula July1 through July 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and July 5 from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. To donate blood, simply download the American Red Cross Blood

Donor app, visit redcrossblood. org or call 1-800-RED CROSS to make an appointment or for more information. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements. Blood donors can now save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, before arriving at the blood drive. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

Giving children a positive summer experience American Counseling Association SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

Every parent has heard complaints about summer boredom. Our children may initially welcome that summer freedom, but all that empty time can sometimes become a burden. That’s where parents can help by approaching summer activities for their children in a positive way. Some parents, for example, worry too much about their children’s futures. They view summer as a time to better prepare their children for college or that future career, even though the child may still be years away from actual college attendance. While computer or math camps, or hospital or business internships, can be good experiences for a child with a passion to head in that direction, they often are a joyless burden when it’s just mom or dad who has decided this will be a great way

for their child to spend the summer. Too often children are pushed into these camps and experiences because anxious parents are trying to fast forward their child’s intellectual and educational development, or attempting to lead them toward a career path that is of the parents’ choosing. The recommendation from most experts is to remember that summer activities can be many things, but they also should be just plain fun at least some of the time. Activities that foster physical, social, cultural and artistic development are certainly positive goals summer planning should try to achieve. You want your child to gain experiences that will give them a greater understanding of themselves and the world they live in. But in order for that to happen, it’s important to focus on what the child’s interests and passions are. If a child is into sports, then a sportsrelated camp that will improve

skills and build confidence can be a great idea. The same applies for a child with an interest in art, or math or some other specialized area. But trying to force the child with a passion for art into several weeks of basketball camp, just because mom and dad thinks he or she needs to be more well rounded, is a recipe for an unhappy child. It’s not necessary to plan and program every minute of your child’s summer. A little boredom is fine and better than over-programming to keep your child constantly busy. But trying to help your child engage in activities that he or she really cares about and enjoys can make summer a positive, fun experience for the entire family.

Using faith, medicine and diet to overcome cancer Andrea Verdin STAFF WRITER

Being an active, healthy person does not immediately remove the risk of illness. It is a well-known saying that death and illness are not respecters of people. Once diagnosed with a significant form of an illness, such as cancer, some are able to overcome with a change in their diet and lifestyle. Others still need the additional support of an oncologist, who with a staff of medical experts, are able to beat back cancer through a variety of treatments. One of the greatest tools to help fight such an illness is a person’s tenacity and ability to push forward, despite feeling unwell. Such is the case of Chris Murphy, a Fallbrook REALTOR® who has been known as a family man, a fair businessman, and an individual proud to serve his community. In 2010, he was at the pinnacle of business busy-ness, but he and his wife, Kim, were able to sneak away to a vacation in Lake Tahoe. It was during that vacation that Murphy’s life began to change. When Kim pointed out a small growth on his back, he didn’t think anything of it. He was more concerned with small flecks on his face, which had recently popped up. Murphy figured that he would get the growth burned off at his dermatologist’s office for vanity purposes. However, once Dr. Joseph Samady saw the growth and took a biopsy sample in January 2011, things changed quickly for Murphy. “The doctor’s nurse called me and asked if I could see him that day,” said Murphy. “I remember it was a Tuesday because we had

Rotary, and I was booked the whole day. The nurse asked when my last appointment was and told me the doctor would wait for me.” Samady’s nurse also asked that Kim also come to the appointment. At this point, Murphy figured he had melanoma, but the doctor explained it was more than that. “He explained that was one of the most deadly forms of cancer known,” said Murphy. “It’s an extremely rare form of melanoma that is found only in Europeans. This type of melanoma has no pigment, and doesn’t follow the melanoma description.” Murphy was referred to an oncologist in Encinitas, Edward McClay, who facilitated surgery on the cancer. During surgery, the melanoma was removed, but Murphy would still need to go through chemotherapy. The doctor explained that the skin damage from being a child outside, without sunscreen on, was the culprit. “The doctor sat down with me and went through the methods that he could offer,” said Murphy. “We went with the most expensive method, but McClay let me know that I would have to do some work on my own; it wasn’t just about the medicine and chemo.” McClay told Murphy to exercise daily, working up a sweat by walking. For six days a week, Kim would take Murphy for a walk with their golden retriever, Pancho. “I would sweat bullets, but I needed to so that I could get out the poison from the chemo,” said Murphy, who needed to avoid the gym because of possible germ risk. “I had to train as if I were running a marathon; I did isometrics to tone my muscles.”

Find healthy foods while on the go

The second important element that Murphy needed to carefully watch was his diet. Murphy had to eat clean foods. “I Googled foods to fight cancer, and bought a juicer,” said Murphy. “Every morning I would drink a tumbler of juice.” Through the chemo treatment, Murphy found that he didn’t lose weight, nor did he lose his hair. He had days of weakness after immune system booster shots required for his treatments, but though he didn’t feel well, he would faithfully go on his daily walk. “The injections were painful, and it was hard to get out of bed the day after receiving them,” said Murphy. “I would still get up, and by doing that, I fought off neuropathy in my feet.” By July 2011, Murphy was ready for his final checkup, and his oncologist was floored by his results.

“He was stunned that I looked so well,” said Murphy. “He told me that he would have triathletes go through the same regimen and not have the same color and spirit. I told him I simply did everything he asked me to do.” Today, Murphy still goes on daily walks with Pancho and a new golden retriever, Cisco. Upon reflection, Murphy has found that he began to slowly improve his life during his treatment, meeting his bucket list goals. “I had been subconsciously achieving these goals,” said Murphy. “For example, five years ago, we didn’t own our own brokerage, and now we are on our fourth year. The doctor said it was smart for those with illness to make longterm goals. One goal I’m working on is golfing on every continent.” Murphy knows that his wife, Kim, was a large support to him,

especially during chemo. In addition to walking with him daily, she shouldered most of the work while Murphy recovered. In the past five years after cancer, Murphy has learned that a person’s attitude in a life circumstance defines the experience. Around the same time that Murphy was diagnosed with cancer, three of his male friends and one female friend were diagnosed with cancer as well. Each tried a different type of treatment to combat the illness. All of his friends that were diagnosed passed away within two years of diagnosis. The female friend died last year. “I have a new appreciation of life,” said Murphy. “I really do believe that faith in God got me through.” For more health news or to comment on this story online, visit www.myvalleynews.com.

It’s possible for travelers to find healthy fare no matter where they end up eating their meals. Courtesy photo

TEMECULA – Nice weather often equates to an uptick in road trips. During such trips, motorists and their passengers will need to take breaks to refuel both their vehicles and their bodies. Rest stop and convenience store snack options are often unhealthy, and it can be difficult for nutritionminded travelers to find acceptable fare. But a little creativity coupled with some smarter choices can ensure road trips don’t derail healthy diets. Bring food along. One of the easiest ways to eat healthy while traveling is to bring meals and snacks with you. Look for portable foods that may not require much refrigeration, such as fruit bars or trail mix. If you have room in the car for a small cooler or insulated lunch packs, fill them with fresh fruits and sandwiches. Opt for lean lunch meats like chicken and turkey. Avoid using cheese or dressings like mayonnaise that can quickly spoil. Some other easily portable foods include applesauce cups, oatmeal packets (all you need is hot water from a rest stop) and low-sodium, low-fat jerky. Pack plenty of water, a healthier choice than soft drinks that will also keep you hydrated when sitting in the car for extended periods of time. Find healthy fast food. If packing food is not an option or if you just prefer the convenience of getting something along the way, you can still make informed choices. Opt for foods that are roughly 500 calories or less and boast plenty of

live · work · play

protein and whole grains to help you feel full longer. You may not be able to enjoy low-sodium foods, as many fast food options go heavy on the salt. Just steer clear of extra condiments that only increase those already considerable sodium levels. If you must opt for fast food, do not order sides of fries or chips, which will only make meals less healthy. Also, avoid sugary sodas. Many fast food restaurants offer some healthy fare, such as grilled chicken sandwiches. Order such sandwiches plain or with extra lettuce and tomato for a healthy crunch. Order sandwiches on whole-wheat buns when possible. Kids’ meals tend to have healthy portion sizes. If possible, purchase a kid’s meal and opt for a side of sliced apples or another healthy alternative. Make smart choices at sit-down restaurants, too. It’s important to stay focused on healthy fare even when you pull off the highway and patronize more traditional sit-down restaurants. Again, think smaller portions. Consider splitting an entrée with another person in your traveling party. Some chains will offer the nutritional information right on the menu, or put a special symbol next to their healthiest offerings. Substitute steamed vegetables for starchy or fattening side dishes and always ask for sauces to be served on the side. It’s not always easy to eat healthy when traveling. But travelers can often find healthy fare, even if they need to bring it along themselves.

HUSD Board hears $135 school bond issue proposal Tony Ault WRITER

With developers beginning to restart projects in Hemet, including as many as 1,500 new homes, state school funding limited and with local schools in need of modernization and expansion, the Hemet Unified School District is proposing a $135 million bond issue to be submitted to the state by Aug.3. Hemet Unified School District Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Vince Christakos, Facilities Director Hans Twardowski and Facilities Planner made the bond measure proposal to the board June 21 during their regular meeting. The report said that construction funds are depleted with Hemet Elementary, Hemet’s Measure E that the district supported did not pass, builders are in support of a school bond, and there is more than

$600 million in facilities needs at this time. The State Allocation Board (that helps provide school funds) has authorized Level 3 developer fees after it declared its lack of funds that is being challenged by the Building Industry Association, and as a result are in support of a school bond issue. The report in light of the predicted student population growth cited the district’s 10-year construction needs including the planned Gibbel, Pleasant Valley and Page Ranch elementary schools along with another unnamed elementary school at Warren Road and Florida Avenue. Freedom Middle School will also be needed along with an estimated $167 million in modernizations. The large school district that stretches from Anza and Sage to portions of Temecula Valley and the San Jacinto border may also need more than a dozen

other schools by 2029 depending on continued growth. In 10 years the proposal says the district will need more than $364 million to meet the needs of the schools. Some of the money will be captured through the state. The report that can be obtained at the HUSD website hemetusd. org/apps/events/ details the next five years of projects needed in the district. It also shows that based on growth more high school classroom space may be needed at Diamond Valley, Hamilton High, Jacob Wiens, Ramona, Tahquitz, West Valley and Winchester. The reports also suggested that a bond measure passage is even more feasible because the district assessed value has been increasing, the tax rates on existing bonds are expected to decline, a March survey reported strong support of a potential $135 million bond issue.

Christakos and staff recommended the board actively support the statewide school facility bond measure in November and purse a local bond to assist the district with needed repairs, upgrades and new schools. The board took no action and took it under advisement. In other board presentations Valerie Velez, district Health Education Program Specialist, presented a report on the key findings from results of the California Healthy Kids Survey, given to students in grades 5, 7,9 and 11 in the Fall of 2015. She was pleased to report “drug, alcohol and tobacco use rates are moving generally downward, even compared to state averages. Students reporting feeling safe at school has improved at every grade level surveyed. Reported rates of harassment and bullying have also generally improved, especially at

the secondary level, but continue to be an issue. The survey was analyzed by an independent research firm, WestEd, under contract with the California Department of Education. The survey was anonymous and administered only with parent consent. It covered substance abuse prevalence, violence-related issues, general health behaviors and indicators of students’ resiliency and levels of developmental assets. The survey will help teachers and district officials to identify and reduce the risk factors, develop resources and programs to reduce the facto4s and promote their academic success. The board also gave its approval to the proposed $204 million 201617 budget that will be forwarded to Sacramento for final approval through the Department of Education.

Local principal awarded Principal of Year Award and California Gold Ribbon Award

PERRIS – Teresa Everett is a local Elementary School Principal who was recently awarded Elementary School Principal of the Year in Riverside County. In addition, her school, Sky View Elementary, earned the distinction of being a California Gold Ribbon school this year for its practices in teaching, especially in the core subject of language arts and writing. Everett has worked at the Perris Elementary School District since 2004 and was promoted to principal in 2014. She has earned her Master’s Degree in Educational Administration and her Administrative Credential. Everett decided to go into teaching after working in business development and marketing management for a technology company because she desired a career that was rewarding and fulfilling; her goal was to make a difference in society by providing

a solid education to students who are from socio-economic disadvantaged families and who face the issues of poverty on a daily basis. She works hard to get students excited about going to school! Sky View Elementary School is 50 percent Hispanic with a high percentage of EL learners and is a Title 1 school that continues to make academic improvements. It hosts STEM, health and literacy events for parents to increase family involvement and also for students, which increases enrichment and engagement. Sky View is an AVID elementary school honored with the Civic Learning Award of Merit and Models of Academic Excellence and Innovation Award. The Western Riverside County Association of School Managers (WRCASM) awarded Everett the title of ‘Elementary Principal of the Year’ at an awards dinner and

cited her ability to lead as one of the key elements to being a successful principal. The California Gold Ribbon is awarded to schools based on several factors. Only 33 schools in Riverside County were given the award out of 507 public schools. Sky View Elementary School was the only school in the Perris Elementary School District that won the award. “These schools shine as bright beacons for others, putting forth an exemplary effort to ensure that every student is ready for 21st century college and careers,” said California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson in a press release. “California teachers are developing an education model for the nation, training the students of today to be the problem-solvers, inventors, and pioneers of tomorrow.”

Everett said about, “Working in education satisfies my soul. I feel fortunate to have a platform that renders the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of children, parents, the community, fellow educators and beyond. As a teacher, I have always taught my students to believe in themselves, work hard, and exercise tenacity while using their unique talents to do the extraordinary. Every day, I want to live my teaching.” Teresa Everett is an Elementary School principal but also a wife and active mother who stays busy attending her two boys’ extracurricular events. She has recently launched an organization called SpeakRivers, LLC, which supports women’s issues, women in leadership, advocates for children’s issues, provides corporate training and motivates audiences towards the merits of public education.

In the case of video, you want to post to the video site (usually Youtube or Vimeo). Then you want to capture the url (primary address) of the video and incorporate it into new content on your website because you ultimately want to drive traffic to your site. Then grab that announcement on your website and post it to all your social media sites to point back to your website announcement. You want to leverage addresses that will not change (also known as “permalink”). This is important for long-term metrics.

Best year yet for Temecula Valley High’s drama department Natalie Witt VALLEY NEWS INTERN

Not to be dramatic, but the Temecula Valley High School “Dramatics” killed it this year, slaying competition and achieving awards, nominations, and praise for their incredible productions. The year has proven to be the drama program’s best, as it acquired 25 awards and 22 nominations presented by adjudicating organizations, National Youth Arts and The Childress M.A.C.Y. Awards. These organizations compared vocal performances, instrumentals, makeup, and other determining criteria across teams. The Dramatics also impressed at the Drama Teachers’ Association of Southern California (DTASC) festivals, where more than 50 high schools in southern California compete each year, once in the fall and once in the spring. This year, the Dramatics placed 4th overall in the Fall competition, which was open to all themes, and 5th overall in the spring competition, which sported a Shakespearean theme. Derek Heid, Director of Theatre Arts at Temecula Valley High School, has never been prouder of his drama team. With every practice, performance and competition, the Dramatics grew closer to each other, becoming more of a family,

and less just classmates, said Heid. Everyone bonded well with one another. Something magical was created for the audience whenever they were onstage together. TVHS Dramatic of four years, Nina Sheridan, boasted about Heid, saying, “He has been the best teacher I have ever had. He does such a good job of connecting with us because he cares about us so much. He is supportive, he is empathetic, he is the head of our huge family we have there. We wouldn’t be anything without him.” Although Heid is the director, he becomes more of an adviser during productions, overseeing the performances which are entirely studentrun. Heid praised his Seniors for their work in the senior-directed play “Frankenstein,” saying, “I was proud of how well such a small group of people worked so well to make it such a personal story.” He also credited his technical team, which is responsible for everything from makeup to scene changes, stating, “I liked the technical side of Shrek, the technical crew was incredibly resilient.” One of the most popular productions this year was “Suessical,” a Senior-led play directed and choreographed by Nina Sheridan. The dynamic musical incorporated numerous Dr. Seuss characters who were all tied into the plot

of “Horton Hears a Who.” The story was narrated by the Cat in the Hat, who interacted with the audience throughout the program. Colby Anderson, a Dramatic of two years, said, “Seussical was so energetic and fun. I never saw so many people smile in one place. Everyone was sincerely happy.” Looking back four short years ago, Sheridan recalled wanting to audition for Dramatics as a freshman because apart from her passion for acting, she remembers there being a senior-directed Harry Potter musical which got her really “excited” about the drama program. She discovered that she wanted to do the same thing, and ended up doing just that by directing Seussical in her own senior year. Now, after her Dramatics experience, Sheridan plans on pursuing acting recreationally as a Bruin at UCLA. Anderson shares the same devotion for the arts after being a Dramatic for the past few years. After moving to Temecula two years ago, he became a Golden Bear his junior year of high school. As a longtime soccer player, he wanted to find a new interest to involve himself with in his new city. “I wanted to do something different,” he explained. Everyone he met who seemed to really enjoy high school was a part of Drama, so he wanted to give it a try, hoping it would be the creative

outlet he was searching for. He said he is grateful that Drama ended up being the escape that allowed him to step out of his comfort zone and become more extroverted. Apart from Nina and Colby, TVHS’s drama program also acted as a creative outlet for about 200 students this year. “There is something about being surrounded by creative people,” Nina Sheridan explained. “The environment act-

ing provides is an encouraging one … You have no idea what you’re going to learn about yourself with the roles you come into. You learn so much about yourself, the people around you, and the world around you. That’s priceless.” As fall rolls around and the new school year begins, TVHS’s Dramatics will be working hard to be better than ever and strive for the same success it achieved this year.

Blotter Juvenile arrested for domestic violence, assault on Hemet officer Trevor Montgomery WRITER

HEMET – Officers responding to the report of a domestic violence incident in the 900 block of Roxanne Drive Friday, June 24. The officer’s investigation led to a violent confrontation and short foot pursuit over fences and through backyards in the residential neighborhood. The suspect – who was later determined to be a 17-year old, juvenile male – has not been identified due to his age. Officers arrested the subject for felony domestic violence and assaulting a police officer. The alleged suspect was

transported to Southwest Juvenile Hall after the incident. The investigation and violent confrontation began at about 10:55 a.m., when a person called 911 to report a domestic violence incident at a residence on Roxanne Drive. Investigating officers determined the suspect allegedly struck and choked his girlfriend during a dispute. He had fled on foot from the residence before officers arrived, but was located during a neighborhood search. The female victim sustained minor injuries during the altercation, according to a press release from the police department.

the juvenile’s possible escape from the area, causing him to double back, jumping walls and fences until he ended up in the backyard of an unspecified residence on Roxanne Avenue. Deputies from the Hemet Sheriff’s Station as well as four deputies from the sheriff’s Civil Bureau – who were in the area regarding an unrelated incident – responded to the area to assist in the search for the fleeing juvenile. At 11:19 a.m., deputies from the sheriff’s helicopter crew spotted the subject and reported his location and that he was attempting to force his way into the residence.

The young man was located at 11:16 a.m. The officer attempted to detain the subject for questioning but he refused to cooperate and resisted the officer, attempting to strike him in the face. After a brief struggle, the juvenile broke free and fled eastbound on East Fruitvale Avenue. The officer pursued the fleeing subject on foot as other officers converged on the area to assist. Within one minute of the suspect fleeing, Riverside County’s aviation crew was headed to the area to assist in the search. Numerous responding officers began blocking off every avenue of

Believing the subject was attempting to conduct a home invasion robbery, the sheriff’s Aviation Crew used their P.A. system to advise the juvenile he was surrounded and had no chance of getting away. The suspect’s response was to flip off and mock law enforcement officials as they were closing in on him. When officers finally approached the juvenile to take him into custody, he again resisted arrest and had to be physically subdued. By 11:24 a.m., just five minutes after the incident began, the juvenile had been taken into custody.

Hemet officer injured during violent confrontation, foot pursuit with suspect Trevor Montgomery WRITER

HEMET – A citizens’ 911 call regarding suspicious activity at Gibbel park, led to a confrontation with a suspect who attacked and injured a Hemet police officer and led officers on a foot pursuit Friday, June 24. The park is located at 2500 W. Florida Avenue. Officers eventually located and arrested Jimmie Taylor, a 43year old transient, who is on Post Release Community Supervision for possession of a controlled substance. Officers found Taylor hiding in some trash cans behind

a restaurant. One officer sustained a serious hand injury during the incident, according to police officials. Jennifer Rodrigues, who was at the park with her young children, witnessed the beginning of what turned out to be a short foot pursuit. From start to finish, the incident lasted about nine minutes but brought an overwhelming response from officers, deputies and Riverside County’s Aviation Unit into the area. “Backup officers and the sheriff’s helicopter were there almost instantly,” Rodrigues said. “We were at the park with our kids playing when we

the wall outside the bathroom,” according to Rodrigues. When the lone officer attempted to arrest one of the suspects, later identified as Taylor, the man allegedly resisted the officer who immediately put out an emergency call for assistance. In an attempt to control the suspect, the officer deployed his Taser at the man. Despite being Tasered by the officer, Taylor fled from the officer on foot. “You would think he would have dropped but no,” Rodrigues said, adding the man pulled the Taser out and took off running before he jumping a wall. The officer gave chase as assist-

saw a group of three men and one woman enter the men’s bathroom. “Another person at the park entered the bathroom with his son and felt too scared and uncomfortable to use the restroom so he called the police to report the suspicious activity.” At about 1:55 p.m., an officer responded to the park to investigate the citizen’s report of suspicious circumstances and what was reported to possibly be drug activity occurring inside the park’s restroom. Upon arrival, the officer encountered four people in the restroom. “An officer showed up and escorted the four subjects out of the bathroom and had them up against

ing officers converged on the area, establishing a perimeter while other officers continued to pursue Taylor. With assistance from the sheriff’s helicopter and witnesses who saw Taylor fleeing from the officers, Taylor was located hiding in a trash enclosure near a Florida Avenue restaurant. Taylor was taken into custody and booked at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning on suspicion of resisting arrest with violence, possession of a controlled substance and revocation of his PRCS probation. Taylor is being held without bail and was scheduled to be arraigned, June 28.

PRCS probationer arrested after Murrieta domestic disturbance Trevor Montgomery WRITER

Murrieta Police Officers responded to the area of Willow Crest Drive and Date Street regarding a disturbance between a male and a female, June 24, at about 6:30 p.m., Murrieta Police Lt. Tony Conrad wrote in a press release. Upon arrival officers contacted the male, identified as Robert Raikoglo, 29, of Wildomar and his female companion. Officers conducted a record check

on Raikoglo that revealed he was on Post Release Community Supervision for weapons-related charges and had an extensive criminal history for theft, narcotics and weapons related charges. “A search of Mr. Raikoglo subsequent to the terms of his probation revealed that he was in possession of a Taser, which is a violation of his probation,” according to Conrad. According to Conrad, it was determined that Raikoglo was under the influence of a controlled substance; he was arrested and

rad said. “Many of these arrests are generated by alert citizens that call in suspicious activity. We encourage our residents to stay vigilant in their reporting of crime.” Conrad said that Assembly Bill 109, the Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011, and voter approved Proposition 47 have created serious burdens for law enforcement and the judicial system. “AB 109 shifted responsibility for managing non-serious, non-violent felons from the state to counties, ratcheting up the strain on local jail

booked into the Southwest Detention Center. ‘It should be noted that Mr. Raikoglo is a product of Assembly Bill 109. Local communities like Murrieta have felt the effects of Assembly Bill 109,” Conrad explained, adding that the arrest demonstrates the impact of AB 109 on the citizens of Murrieta. “The Murrieta Police Department recognizes the concerns associated with these mandates and we continue to proactively arrest the offenders that victimize our residents,” Con-

space. AB 109 is responsible for the early release of a large number of offenders into California communities. Prop 47, passed in November of 2014, has added to the burden by reducing numerous drug and property crimes to misdemeanors,” he said. Raikoglo was booked on suspicion of being under the Influence of a controlled substance, obstructing/ resisting a police officer, being a felon in possession of stun gun and violation of his PRCS. He is being held without bail.

I-215 wreck in Menifee causes chaos during afternoon drive Trevor Montgomery WRITER

A two-vehicle accident Monday, June 27, caused chaos on the northbound I-215 freeway near Scott Road, as motorists reportedly drove the wrong way on the freeway to get to the nearest offramp. The collision that was reported to CHP

officers at 2:55 p.m., briefly had all northbound lanes of travel blocked with vehicles and debris. One of the vehicles involved in the accident, described as a white four-door sedan, ended up across the center lanes of traffic. The other vehicle, described as a silver twodoor, went about 30 feet down an embankment. According to a CHP

fire personnel to access the silver two-door would be to approach from Haun Road, which runs directly adjacent to the freeway. Impeded by the heavy traffic and wrong-way drivers, the first two CHP officers both arrived at the location at 3:12 p.m. The officer immediately called for two tow vehicles to assist in removing the

incident log, one of the vehicles was reportedly smoking. At 3:06 p.m., Cal Fire/Riverside County and Murrieta firefighters were requested to respond to the accident scene to assist if needed. One 911 caller, who stayed with the victim inside the vehicle that went down the embankment, told CHP dispatchers the best way for

debris and vehicle from the roadway. Officers also advised the only means of continuing northbound was via the center divider of the freeway. By 5 p.m. the accident scene had been cleared and traffic was flowing normally.

Public schools, how we lost them Jane Chastain SPECIAL TO VALLEY NNEWS

“If anyone causes one of these little ones – those who believe in me – to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.” – Mark 9:42 It’s little wonder that children in public schools from religious households are likely to dabble with all manner of sexual activity before they graduate. In many, if not most, school districts, they are constantly being told that anythinggoes-as-long-as-it-goes-with-acondom and that one lifestyle is just as good as another. It’s a constant drumbeat from kindergarten through high school. Our young people are being pushed to experiment with both sexes to find out if they are straight or gay. Then, they are told that bisexuality may be their true nature. If none of that works, why not try identifying with the opposite gender? Now, the Department of Education has informed schools that they must let students use the restroom or locker room of their choice in order to conduct these

experiments or simply sneak a peek at the opposite sex. It’s little wonder that many Christians have given up on the nation’s public schools. Others feel trapped and simply try to combat the anything-goes hedonistic message their children receive at school with a strong moral message at home. It’s an uphill battle. Children are in school or involved in school activities some 40 hours a week. If you subtract the hours they spend sleeping and doing homework, you can readily see the imbalance. Most high school seniors cannot tell you the year our country was founded or give you the name of one Supreme Court justice, but they can list the brand names of all the condoms they carry in their pocket or purse. While education is not at the top of the list of most voter concerns, it’s just one of the reasons there is a backlash against politicians in general and Washington in particular. Education is just one of the many issues that led voters to Donald Trump, who, at first, promised that he would abolish the Department of Education and now is suggesting that he would leave parts of it

in place. Have you noticed that it’s often easier to curse the darkness than simply look in the mirror? It’s time we recognize where the problem lies. It’s not in Washington. It’s with us. Our Founding Fathers wisely left education in the hands of state and local communities. The Department of Education has no official function. It was created by Jimmy Carter as a payoff to the National Education Association, the nation’s largest union and, for all practical purposes, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the radical left and the Democratic Party. Its primary function is to gobble tax dollars, which it uses to coerce states and local school districts into doing its bidding. You can get rid of the Department of Education, which is an important first step, but you will not solve the problem until you have driven all NEA-backed candidates off local school boards. Want to know exactly when and where we lost the nation’s public schools to those who are now turning them into training grounds for all manner of sexual deviancy? The

turning point was the Los Angeles Unified School Board election in April 1991. Before that election was held, L.A. Unified was given the responsibility of writing the AIDS education curriculum for the entire country by the Centers for Disease Control. AIDS education was used as the wedge issue to mainstream the teaching of homosexuality in our schools. Four of the seven seats on that board were up for grabs. There were Christians running in all four districts, but they had very little support because the churches were asleep. Meanwhile, the NEA was spending a ton of money promoting its hand-picked candidates. The Sunday before the election, I was handing out flyers in my church parking lot. I handed one to a gentleman and asked, “Are you going to vote in the election on Tuesday?” He gave me a blank stare and said, “What election?” I said, “School board.” He said, “Oh, I only vote in the big ones.” That was the big one! All four NEA-backed candidates won and took control. Jeff Horton, a ho-

Safeguarding the elections process Marie Waldron SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

During this primary election cycle in Riverside County, hundreds of voter record abnormalities were identified, a situation exacerbated on Election Day when voters whose records had been altered without their knowledge were threatened with disenfranchisement. In response, I am introducing legislation to update and secure California’s online voter

registration procedures. Unauthorized voter record changes reported in Riverside County included changes to party affiliation, addresses and preferences regarding mail-only voting. It is clear from the initial investigation that records had been altered online without voter consent, resulting in potential disenfranchisement that was only prevented when the Riverside DA’s office sent out investigators to ensure that provisional ballots were provided to the

impacted voters. My legislation will update precomputer era security procedures by providing additional protections for voters in the digital age. Specifically, any online record update or change made through the Registrar of Voters website would require the Registrar to confirm with the voter any changes prior to updating the record. This requirement would be very similar to precautions currently taken by many private companies to prevent identity theft

and safeguard customer financial records. The ability to hold free and fair elections in which all eligible voters are allowed to exercise their franchise without interference or tampering is the bedrock of our representative Republic. Voter disenfranchisement undermines confidence in our election process. Guaranteeing the sanctity of elections should be a bi-partisan concern upon which we can all agree.

Most people love fireworks, many animals do not WILDOMAR – The tradition of fireworks on the Fourth of July is one of the most honored in the nation and a great favorite amongst the vast majority of humans. But, sometimes, the sudden, unexpected, LOUD noises created can send some animals into a bit of a frenzy. “The weekend of the 4th of July and especially the night of July 4th (and the following day) are some of the busiest days our animal control officers face because most pets panic when they hear and feel the constant noise and the thump of the explosions,” said Willa Bagwell, Executive Director. “This can cause the animal to ‘bolt’ from even the safest and most loving homes.” Animals on the loose can cause a number of problems and even, purely by accident, put themselves

at risk of tragedy. In fact, on average the number of missing and stray animals that AFV handles on an average day more than quadruples during the days around the 4 of July. More animals are hit by cars and cause car accidents during this holiday than any other. Animal Friends of the Valleys strongly recommends that pet owners make sure they create a safe environment before the launching of the local fireworks. A few suggestions include: Keep your pet inside (even if you are outside to watch the show). Make sure to double-check doors and windows to guarantee the pet cannot get out of the home. Turn your television on and turn up the volume – many pets will be distracted by the more familiar noise and ignore the ruckus outside.

Over 1,450 people enjoyed a great afternoon for a great cause, tasting unlimited samples of craft beers and homemade chili at the eigth annual Pechanga Microbrew Festival and Chili Cook-Off held Saturday, June 11, inside the Pechanga Grand Ballroom. The event is an annual fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley: its homebuilding programs, wellness workshops and two ReStore locations. There were close to 50 breweries and more than 100 beers – from light blonde ales to rich stout ones – representing craft and small production breweries in San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los

Angeles and Orange counties as well as selections from northern California, Seattle, the Midwest and the East Coast. “This is a great way to try a lot of beers without wasting a lot of time and money,” said one attendee, “You don’t have to buy whole six packs to find the ones you really like. You can narrow down your favorites in one place. And, oh, all the chili is so good.” The chili cook-off competition was spicy and fierce. There were nine varieties of homemade chili fired up by the award-winning chefs at Pechanga Resort & Casino. Pechanga Buffet provided a Hawaiian-style chili with plantains, pineapple and coconut; the jerk pork and three-bean chili with

smoked cheddar cheese came from Journey’s End. Paisano’s offered a short rib chili with creamy polenta while Umi Sushi and Oyster Bar offered up smoked Kobe beef chili. Pechanga Café served up ribeye chili with fried Serrano peppers and chicharron. The Great Oak Steakhouse provided a steak chili with jalapeno cornbread. Catering & Banquets competed with braised short ribs and bacon with Cotswold cheddar cheese, jalapeno and onion. Kelsey’s offered an appetizer menu favorite, smoked Newcastle steak with mini jalapeno poppers. Chef Marlene Moore of the Pechanga Food Court won the title of Pechanga Chili Cook-Off Champion for the second year in a row based on a popular vote

by attendees. Her “Temptation Hearty Southern Style Chili” pairs well with an IPA or Double IPA to match the intensity of the peppers in the dish. Payne Mason provided handrolled cigars on the spot. Bands – including Midnight Satellites – entertained the crowd. The silent auction featured getaway stays, golf outings, wine and beer gift baskets, sports memorabilia and more. The one-day event raised $16,000 for Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley. Since 2009, the partnership has raised $71,000 from this event. The Chocolate Decadence and Pechanga Wine Festival, started in 2011, also benefits Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley. The two events over the years have raised

over $200,000 for the nonprofit organization. “The proceeds from the Pechanga Microbrew Festival and Chili Cook-Off have helped serve families in need in Riverside County,” said Tammy Marine, executive director for Habitat for Humanity Inland Valley. “Pechanga Resort & Casino was there for us during our most challenging fundraising years. Their support helped us to continue our programs to a population that needed help more than ever before. Today our services have expanded, offering more opportunities for volunteerism and improving the quality of life for many. We are immensely grateful to the caring and socially conscious people of Pechanga.”

Temecula hosts China-US Business Summit

Paul Bandong STAFF WRITER

The city of Temecula recently hosted the China-US Business Summit at the Entrepreneurs Exchange. CUBS is a non-profit organization founded in 2009 dedicated to enhancing business cooperation and cultural communication between China and the United States.

The membership-based organization provides a platform for communication and cooperation between small and medium-sized enterprises in China and the United States with the purpose of integrating resources in the two countries as well as creating and facilitating business opportunities. According to their website, they have the support of both governments, the US In-

ternational Trade Commission and the Small Business Administration. According to guest speaker, Chairman Steven Shen, the organization promotes Chinese entrepreneurship and corporate culture, enhances mutual understanding and economic integration, and provides comprehensive services for international operation of Chinese and American enterprises. “Some Chinese are getting richer and more internationalized,” said Shen, “so there is more private money available for projects and investment. However, very few understand the outside world. Before, under communist rule, the United States was seen as the enemy. This is changing.” According to Shen, since 2013, many industries are declining; growth – compared to the last two decades – has slowed considerably. New government leadership has created fear and uncertainty. Many are beginning to think their money would be safer in the United States and many want to move their money but the government still practices foreign currency control.

Building a financial emergency kit for your family Nathaniel Sillin SPECIAL TO VALLEY NEWS

What would a sudden financial emergency be in your life? It could be a storm causing massive property damage to your home. It could also be something more personal, like an accident that would cut off your ability to make a living. Whatever it is, if someone else had to step in to help you in an emergency situation, it’s important to have a plan in place so they know what to do. A financial emergency kit is a crucial component in financial planning. In short, a financial emergency kit involves identifying and planning for potential financial emergencies that could affect you and your loved ones. Building a successful one goes beyond sorting paperwork – it involves looking at a variety of potential situations in your life and then asking, “What’s the worst that could happen?” You will want to create a kit – a set of physical or digital documents and instructions – that can help you or someone else you trust manage in a crisis. Here are some items you’ll likely want to include. Estate documents. Estate planning is really the highest form of financial emergency planning, because it addresses the ultimate personal financial emergencies – medical incapacitation or death. Would your family have easy access to this material if something happened to you? In your family financial emergency kit, estate documents would include copies of current wills (for you and your spouse or partner), your advanced directives (which instruct doctors on end-of-life or other stages in medical care), health/financial powers of attorney (which designate specific individuals to step in to manage your money or healthcare if you cannot do so) as well as other documents that provide additional guidance for operating businesses and managing and distributing other assets you have. Make sure these documents are always current and that contact information is included for all the qualified experts you used to prepare them – estate or business attorneys, tax professionals and financial planners. Insurance policies. Being able to find home and auto policies in a natural disaster is a nobrainer, but it’s important to think

a little more broadly. File as much policy and contact detail as you can for any health, disability, business, life and accident coverage you have – and remember that it’s particularly important to note or file documentation on this coverage at work, too. Sometimes we sign up rather blindly for work-based benefits only to realize how important they may be in a financial emergency. Tax materials. If a family member dies or becomes incapacitated, tax matters still need to be attended to. If you work with a tax professional, make sure their contact information is in the digital or physical kit (see indexes, contacts and guides, below), but it’s also important to keep past returns and relevant supporting data based on your individual tax situation. Investment, savings and retirement documents. If you work with a qualified financial planner or tax expert, you may have access to a particular system that lists and track this information in an organized way that many of us don’t have at home. However you plan and track your investments, it should be included in your kit. Indexes, contact sheets and guides. Some people need a little guidance, others need a lot. A family financial emergency kit needs to be usable by all designated family members. Put yourself in the role of a friend or family member who’s been called in to help you in a crisis. If you had to step in to settle an estate, healthcare or disaster emergency for a friend or family member and they weren’t around to advise you, what information would you need to get started? In any category of information you include in a financial emergency kit, include a separate file or digital instruction that details people to call, account numbers if necessary, relevant online and physical addresses and other key data to advise that person about what’s in front of them and what they should do. If you work with qualified financial experts, make sure their contact information is included. Easy access to essentials under lock and key. If you’re away from home when damage occurs or if family members need to access vehicles or other spaces, make sure you have keys and access codes locked safely in your emergency kit. You will also want to

ensure that your emergency contacts have the necessary access to your emergency kit in order to retrieve these materials. You or loved ones might also need access to funds, particularly cash in an emergency. If you don’t have a bank account established strictly for emergencies that allows specific family members to write checks or make cash withdrawals, you should consider it. The bottom line. Building a financial emergency kit requires some thinking, but it can help you avoid major losses and speed up decision making in a crisis. Work with people you trust to make it accessible and useful to your family and trusted individuals.

“A person cannot wire out more than $50,000 per year; if a company, they need to apply to the government to wire out larger sums. They cannot wire out more than $100,000 to a single account in one week. State-controlled/sponsored businesses have it much easier.” But he noted there are ways to facilitate investment. “Differences – in language, culture, religion, history – are huge barriers for doing business internationally,” said Shen, “Going alone, it takes too long to understand the culture and how to do business. They need help knowing what businesses to get into and whom they can trust. Trust is a big issue.” Hence, the idea of an “Entrepreneurs Club” with members who can get to know each other (“we are the same”) and make connections and do business together. The organization organizes and holds summits to educate and create connections. CUBS has held seven major summits and currently has over 2300 members from both countries, they have completed thirty projects and there are 67 projects currently in the matchmaking process. Success stories include Hollywood film investments, connecting US real estate brokers with Chinese investors, advising Chinese companies on establishing U.S. subsidiaries, facilitating a buy-side M & A deal between a small U.S. advertising firm and a Chinese company. Shen noted that real estate, wineries, chain restaurants and technol-

ogy are areas of interest for Chinese investment. In fact, he noted that former NBA basketball player Yao Ming bought a winery in Napa Valley and marketed his own private brand to take advantage of his popularity. His brand sold out so quickly, he is buying a second winery. “They drink wine like beer,” said Shen. “They are interested in wineries so they can create new brands in China.” The Chinese like real estate because it is tangible, “They can touch it,” said Shen, “They will buy golf courses, but they don’t want to run them.” They want to build chain restaurants in China. There are currently three major chains in China: McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Burger King. Starbucks is also growing rapidly. Investment in technology is also growing according to Shen. “The trend is to invest here in order to buy the concept to build start-ups in China. It is not about stealing ideas, it is about growing businesses in a large market.” “Now is the best time to do business with the Chinese people,” said Shen, “They are actively looking for ideal U.S. partners. CUBS can facilitate those relationships in both China and the United States.” CUBS US offices are 17700 Castleton Street, Suite 305, City of Industry, California.

is a family need, so be it. But if it is a family choice, and the children are approaching adolescence, reconsider. You are house poor Life is stressful and full of all kinds of needs and wants. If your home represents too large a portion of your budget, think about the things that would change for the better if your mortgage weren’t so oppressive and carefully evaluate whether a less expensive home might improve your quality of life. School days are here There is no immediate and obvious economic advantage to sending your kids to private school. Moving to a great school district, though, brings not only a higher likely resale value but perhaps some financial advantages via a higher mortgage (always consult with a tax specialist before making decisions of this type). If you are thinking of spending tens of thousands of dollars to send your kids to a private school strictly for academic reasons, check and see if you can move to a better school district for less. Clearly, this list isn’t meant to be exhaustive. People move for more reasons than I have bullet points: to be in warmer climates,

Our homes hold more than just our furniture, they hold our hearts. So it is entirely understandable that sometimes we don’t want to sell a property, even if we know on some level that we must. How can you tell if it is time for you to seriously consider selling? The people you love are too far away I am working with some clients who are selling their home of 30 years. That’s not an easy thing to do. When I asked them the reason for the transition, however, it all made sense. The home they raised their family in, the home that housed hundreds of holidays and millions of memories, is in Chicago. Their adult children are here on the West Coast. Memories are precious, but people are more so. If the people you love are too far away, it may be time to consider selling. Your family has gotten smaller Maybe you bought your huge, rambling home on the large lot when you had five kids at home and now the nest is empty. If you love the space, the area, and yard work, stay where you are. But you may be surprised how much more freedom you can find in downsizing. Time is finite and housework and yard work should only eat up a share of yours, unless you just love it. There are a lot more of you than there used to be. I know of a family that couldn’t break the connection they had with their existing home, despite the fact that a brother and a sister had to share a single, small room. If this

The buying season is in full swing. Odds are that if you are going to buy a Temecula-Murrieta home this year, you’ll buy by September. Sure, you’ve been getting your financial affairs in order and you’ve been up at night searching the Internet and browsing again first thing each morning at all of the available homes for sale, but are you really ready to jump in and do what it takes? Think of finding and purchasing a new home as a marathon. It’s not going to happen overnight and it’s not going to be easy. Just like in a 26.2-mile marathon most of the preparation must me achieving a mental attitude that you are in it for the long run. Don’t give up and don’t look for shortcuts; be persistent and be consistent. Looking for a deal or a home? Many buyers will wear themselves out searching for ‘the right home’ to fall in love with only to lose their dream by insisting on submitting a low ball offer. What’s sad is that many buyers will repeat the process several times before they realize this may not be the best tactic if they want to move before school starts in the fall. Smarter buyers, with a local agent whose in-tune with the market, will know and understand the current market trends and know what homes are selling for in each specific neighborhood you are shopping in. Current market conditions do not support the notion that low-ball of-

learn from the experience – don’t become a victim of repetition. TV buyers are in fantasy land: If you ever watch any of the multiple TV shows on the process of buying real estate you may be gaining some insight but trust me – this is not real. First off, it is near impossible to look at three houses and one of them becomes perfect. It’s going to take much more than this. Second, the couple who doesn’t know what they want really need to decide and not rely on their real estate agent to figure it out for them. How many couples have you seen on TV where one wants to live in an urban environment and the other out in the country – all for $900 a month? Well, you need to work this out with your partner (or yourself long before you ever cross your first threshold. Determine what you want, what you need, where you want to be and a realistic budget. Open escrow – Finish line in sight: Sure, you found the perfect home and have an accepted offer for a price you like, but it’s not yours yet and you still have a lot of work to get done if you are going to close on time…or at all (always remember, not every escrow closes). Escrow can be anti-climactic after all of the energy that went into finding your new abode but you can’t slow down now. Stay focused and do what needs to be done. This includes showing up for all of the inspections, when they are scheduled; work closely with your lender, providing all of the necessary documentation (yes there will be hoops to jump through) they need, when they ask for it; and remain flexible because there will be unforeseen things that will happen that will require your prompt attention and

fers will gain any respect from this year’s sellers who are still hoping for a repeat of last year’s buying frenzy that saw multiple offers and a nearly 25 percent increase in value. Do yourself a favor and prepare reasonable fair market offers, use current and reliable data to structure your offers and don’t rely on your need to negotiate the best deal. If It’s meant to be…It’s meant to be: There will be homes that you really want. You’ve analyzed all of the data with your real estate agent. You structure the cleanest best offer and then you submit it. At this point, if you are going to maintain a healthy mental attitude, you have to let go of the outcome. If the home you are fighting for is supposed to be yours and you have this type of positive mental attitude then the success will be that much sweeter and the loss much easier to deal with if you find yourself back on the street looking for that perfect home again! Are your priorities in alignment with buying a home? It’s a tough question, your instinct is of course! If that’s the case, when your agent notifies you that a home that meets every want and need on your list and is within budget in the desired neighborhood did you drop what you were doing to go look at it or did you ask to schedule a showing for Saturday afternoon after Junior’s Little League game? Do you keep getting overbid because you are asking for a 60-day escrow? Maybe you want the seller to contribute 3 percent toward your closing costs plus pay for a home warranty. The truth is there are many variables to every offer and typically lots of competition. You need to be working with an agent whom you trust so that you can trust your agents’ advice and harness his expertise. Consider each setback and
